What Is Your Lore Behind Your Gargoyles & Litches?

what is your lore behind your gargoyles & litches?

Thanks for the ask Wyked! I love species creation (I blame dnd) and generally make lore by treating existing lore as 'stories humans made up' and working backwards from there.

Here's my lore so far! 👇

Gargoyles

Description: Hard skin and hard heads. This long-lived species moves through life at their own pace, and often are considered aloof or un-emotive. They live about 1000 years and age slowly. Appearance: A wide range of stone colored skin tones. Bat-like wings, claws, and sharp lower canines. They barely bleed when you cut them, but the blood is red. Abilities: Enhanced strength and sight. Stone Skin: Bonus to physical defenses. Density Control: Able to control their own density/weight at will. This is how gargoyles are able to fly. Statuesque: Gargoyles are able to stop all motion and signs of life within themselves for extended periods of time, and be perfectly comfortable while doing so. They are able to sleep standing up with their eyes open if they wish. This state is difficult to get out of and will result in a period of sluggishness lasting half the time that they were using their Statuesque ability. (ex. Using Statuesque for 4hrs will cause 2hrs of sluggishness.) Weaknesses: They are slow to resist magic and abilities involving emotional manipulation. Sunlight Adverse: Sunlight can negatively affect their density control abilities, making them extremely heavy and slow-moving, even to the point of being unable to move at all.

Litches

Description: A generally nocturnal species that evolved from a lost and powerful race many many millennia ago. They live for about 125 years. They are genetically related to witches and bleed red. Appearance: They resemble humans, at first, but many have runic shapes adorning their skin like tattoos. The more they have, the lighter their eyes become and the more vacant their expressions. Abilities: Moderate nightvision. Perceptive to recognizing Litch/Witch type magic. Their magic is selfish, and can only be used to benefit themself. They can crate runic tattoos which alter any single trait. These runes are permanent and have a cost- for each power gained they lose some connection with reality. Casting abilities are stronger at night/in darkness and require a significant casting time. Weaknesses: Can eventually become extremely powerful zombie-like horrors due to loss of sanity as they gain more power. Without runes, they are the weakest species in the district, and possibly average weaker than humans. Poor nighvision compared to other Du'Preve'd species. They can be more susceptible to the adverse effects of pollution in Du’Preve

That's what I currently have! It may change when we introduce characters from these species though.

Thanks again for the ask!

I should probably post more about the actual main character of my WIP 😂😅

Klaus Calvaire is a man with a secret. Although he seems just as demonic as the other inhabitants of the capitol, he shares blood with their greatest enemy- The Fae. He will tear the demons' oppressive system down by infiltrating their glamorous society... if he can avoid getting caught.

(One of 7 Circles main characters, feel free to comment or ask questions! I own none of the pics, I simply arranged and edited them.)

Hmu to be +/- to my art or 7C taglist

My slotted spoon of a brain didn't realize the tags didn't stick 😅😥

So @the-golden-comet @wyked-ao3 @lychhiker-writes @fortunatetragedy @cowboybrunch @smellyrottentrees and @willowthetree63 are the last 7 blogs in my notifications, pressure tho!~

If you get this, answer with 5 random facts about yourself and then send it to the last 7 blogs in your notifications. Let's get to know the people behind the blogs! No pressure though 🤍

Sharing about myself can make me kinda nervous but I want to get to know people! Drop a comment?

The other end of this stick is being a kinky hypersexual and getting random ads for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

SIGH

I'm...I'm just too goddamn ace.

Turns out if you follow the tag "switch" you do not get updates on nintendo switch games....

I was wondering where all these kinky bdsm posts were coming from.
