You may have seen these two diseases mentioned before, but this is the first time we’ve delved into them.
Leixosis, overproduction of tears, and Drizlezz, dry eye, are two naturally occurring ailments that many Ryubliss face at some point in their lives.
Some Ryubliss were born with one of these diseases and thus may never be rid of it unless treated.
Cinnamix and Mintberry Cream, two researchers of natural Ryubliss diseases, have studied for years on how to counteract the effects of these illnesses. Now that they’ve found potential remedies, they may be setting up shop soon...
(I’m not sure if we ever actually posted the backstory of Phobia, despite mentioning her many times in the lore. )
The nightmarish queen of Ryubliss, daughter of Andromeda and Arizel, the spirit of the planet itself.
Phobia is a kindhearted, yet frightening and stubborn soul, a Nightmare and the first modern Ryubliss.
Before her birth, the Ancients and their descendants, the Exclubliss, had no world to call their own, dwelling on Earth, living in fear of humanity. The Ancients once sought conquest, desiring to eliminate the source of their fear, though their children and grandchildren kept them docile, eventually coaxing most of the ageless serpents into forms reminiscent of today’s doglike dreamfolk.
Upon first coming into existence as a young Ryubliss, Phobia was often shunned and even scolded by Gild, the leader of the Ancients. Phobia lacked a dragon form, confined solely to her small, docile appearance. She was made of nightmares, though she appeared weak, small, and helpless.
Despite now having a world of their own to call home, the Ancients still feared the outside, as many other creatures had come to inhabit the surface... and gateways to the human world still existed.
Having been assigned to protect the child of Dreams and Nightmares, Gild kept Phobia as safe as possible, though the pup was kept under lock and key, both to deprive her of autonomy and ensure her security.
Nevertheless, Phobia soon escaped from the caverns, reaching Earth through one of the many tunnel-portals.
Here, Phobia discovered her purpose as not just a vessel for the imagination of her parents, but also a protector in her own right... a protector of innocence and a being of security.
Her purpose renewed, the enlightened Phobia returned to her old home in the caverns, though not to stay. She quickly rallied support, showing once and for all that her kind no longer had to fear the outside. Together, she and a group of other Ryubliss ascended to the surface of the islands in hopes of carving out a home of their own.
Four new variants of a subspecies of Ryubliss, the Exclubliss! This will be the version of Ryubliss that will get Deviantart Exclusive adopts from time to time!
Derived from the Ancients, these powerful Ryubliss defy the laws of the species. Hiding from society and shunning non dreamfolk, they reside in a cavern underneath the islands, only coming out when they find someone whom they dearly admire or trust.
Unlike most Ryubliss, they’re made of multiple dreams fused into one being, and they never undergo a Ryubean phase.
They’re incredibly rare, only appearing once in a blue moon...
The representatives of each breed include the following:
Dearest, the False Ancient
Pix, the Basic Blood
Zephyr, the Epic One
Poltergeist, the Night Terror
For the first time in centuries, a direct descendant of the Ancients has emerged from below the islands, confirming the public's suspicions. Riddled with panic, this mysterious, abnormal Ryubliss warns of a great catastrophe that is said to be coming to befall the Ryuniverse Archipelago!
What could this newcomer, who claims to be called Sweet Spice, intend in Arizel? And why does his energy seem similar to Faust's?!
(Roleplay available via asks until 11:59 p.m. today.)
I decided it’d be a good idea to have a size/color reference pic for all of the moderators.
Lychee/Lichen Fur- @ask-justfreshshapes-andbeats
Nym- @plaquebeat
Cherry Bloom- @aquatic-turquoise
Faust- @qwertythepopstarian08
Each “Mod” Ryubliss, within the universe canon, controls and rules over a separate island in the Ryuniverse Archipelago.
Faust is in charge of Notion Knoll, a rural, hilly, forested island dominated by lively, yet cozy communities.
Lychee watches over Moonstone Creek, a tranquil fishing village which is home to a surprisingly bustling, boisterous marketplace.
Nym is the keeper of Shift City, a constantly moving, upbeat society of nocturnal Ryubliss who are always traveling and meeting new Dreamfolk.
And last, but certainly not least, Cherry Bloom guards the Gardenia Grotto, a town known for its sprawling flower fields and homes tucked away in burrows and caverns.
The center island, Origin, is ruled only by Worldview herself, its land only set foot upon by those deemed worthy.
