WOOHOO!! It’s all done!! A race guide for my Yogscraft fanlore stuff!!

ALT Text/Transcription Below Cut;

FIRST SLIDE:

This slide shows examples of different features for each of my headcanons for different races within my Yogscast and Minecraft fan-lore. There are six primary races; Human, Lumian, Villager, Fae (subcategories being Seelie and Unseelie), Angel, and Demon. The features shown are; Eyes, Ears, Noses, Mouth and Teeth, and Hands.

Humans are what we’re familiar with, and serve as a comparison so we can know what is typical for humans in my art style.

A quick note for Lumians; the example blood color is green, but there are different colors - more information is on Slide Three. Lumians have smaller pupils than humans by about half our pupil sizes. They have pointed ears, and when flushed, their blood color shows through much like human ears do. Their tongues are closer to their blood color, and front teeth are smaller and pointed. Most of their teeth are pointed like Human canines, except for their canines, which are thinner, like a blade. Their hands are slightly larger and they sport clawlike nails.

Villagers have square or slightly rectangular eyes. Their ears are more concave, like a cow’s or a mouse’s ears, and can have a dark blue fur or blush on the outer part of the flaps. Their noses are similar to a dog’s or koala’s nose, and a navy teal color. Their teeth are larger and entirely stubby with no canines, and they have dark blue mouths with lighter navy tongues. Their hands have dark blue, stubby, round nails, with a couple big, hardened, dark blue pads on the backs of their hands in round, bean-like shapes. They also have these pads on each of their second knuckles.

The Fae are split into two categories; Seelie and Unseelie. - First listed are Seelie. Seelie have an outer iris ring extending their irises to a larger size, with pointed, catlike pupils. Their longer pointed ears concave on each side toward the base, similar to a bat’s or cat’s ears. They can have any shape of nose, depending on how humanoid they are, with humanoid noses being indistinguishable from ours. Their mouths are a more saturated shade of pink, and they sport two canines, replacing the secondary front, top row teeth. Their hands are a wide variety, but if humanoid, they typically have longer fingers. - Second, we have Unseelie. Unseelie Fae eyes are larger, and only have one color, with colored catlike pupils. Their ears are similar to Seelie, but are typically larger at the base and point more upward, instead of outward. Their noses are the same as Seelie’s noses. Their mouths are usually a duller, darker shade of purple or pink, and their primary fangs are double the size or length as a Seelie’s fangs. Their hands are similar to Seelie’s, but their fingers are more often clawed.

Angel’s skin shimmers with sunny luster. Angel eyes have very large, glowing, white-to-yellow irises, with colored pupils. Their ears can be round or pointed, but have feathers of any color lining the outermost edges. Their noses are similar to ours, but usually have slotted and/or outwardly pointed nostrils, and the noses can be very flat to the face, even nonexistent. Their mouths are golden with sunshine-colored tongues and perfect rows of completely straight, rounded teeth. Their fingers are all the same length and have totally opaque nails.

Demon’s skin burns bright or saturated shades of red. Demon eyes are completely black, with very small glowing irises and no pupils. Their ears are pointed and lined with small, sharp hornlike growths. Their noses can be nearly any shape with a flat face, similar to moles, pigs, bats, or even a lizard’s. Their mouths are double the size, can unhinge and mold to different shapes, and have very large, sharp teeth all throughout. The inner color of their mouths are deep red to oily black, and their snake tongues are bright red. Their hands are very large, with very long fingers and very sharp, dark claws.

SECOND SLIDE;

This slide is titled “Notes on Humans”. The text is as follows;

Humans may exhibit signs of deific influence after an extended period of time, depending on whose realm they reside under - such as; -faint glowing, dependent on deity's colors -impulses and urges related to deity's influence -affinity for items, places, concepts, and ideas related to deity's influence

The vibes are contagious! Humans have a passive minor influence over the feeling, thinking, and experiences of other creatures and races due to their natural pack bond mentality.

THIRD SLIDE;

This slide is titled “Notes on Lumians”. The text is as follows;

What Lumians lack in creativity, they make up for in leadership prowess, tactical approach, and clinical or scientific understanding. Their society is raised supporting only academic and physical studies with no care put into the arts. As a result, although very bright and quick-witted, Lumians are notoriously high-strung, prone to trauma, and bleak or dry-humored.

Lumian blood color ranges ass wide as the visible spectrum! Green is the most common. Blood color matters as much as a horoscope. Which is to say, not a lot.

Lumina, the Lumian home planet, is home to massive insects. (Lumian) teeth are built to chew the bugs' super tough meat.

Lumians are also all born with glowing freckles and eyes. Freckle patterns vary from light to heavy, and are most commonly on the face and back. Places where freckles are found to be the most are also a folkish indicator of personality and fortune telling.

FOURTH SLIDE;

This slide is titled “Notes on Villagers”. The text is as follows;

Villagers initially evolved from a world of violence and chaos, descended from a species of mammal unseen in anywhere else in the universe. This ancestor, a bovine-apelike hybrid, survived drought, famine, war, disaster, and sickness. They grew horns, cloven claws, bladelike teeth, and thick backs.

Since Kirin's awakening, however, they were blessed and all their troubles washed away. So, over time, the complacent Villagers of today have evolved away from the features of their ancestors, with small, nubby horns, rounder teeth, and softer bodies.

It's said that their religious affiliation (to Kirin) and communal practices discouraging change is what has contributed to their "domestication", as some put it. However, in recent years, it seems that has begun to change in certain rebellious individuals.

FIFTH SLIDE;

This slide is titled “Notes on Fae”. The text is as follows;

The Fae are intelligent, social creatures and humanoids of various differring races, having evolved under their creator, the deity of the mind and soul.

It's due to the crowning of Queen Nyxamenia after her Revolt against said creator, that the Fae split into two factions; Seelie (those of Rule) and Unseelie (those of Anarchy). Upon the Unseelie revering her as their Goddess, they began to take on new forms, evolving into "cursed" or "trickster" versions of Seelie Fae.

Seelie Fae rely on contracts, mutually agreed rules, tried and true methods, tradition, laws of the land, fairness, and strict moral code.

Unseelie Fae rely on "playing by ear", improvisation, "street rules", dirty games and trickery, blood oaths, high wit, intense emotion, and mind games.

SIXTH SLIDE;

This slide is titled “Notes on Angels”. The text is as follows;

Angels were a species initially forged without Kirin, the deity of Heart and Emotion, as theoretically immortal helper-workers around Limbo (the Sun, and where souls pass through when they die).

(wings are transparent)

As intelligent and magical creatures, they cannot survive outside of The Aether (the paradise within Limbo) for longer than a few years to a decade.

However, since the banishment of Lucifer and The Virtues, many Angels have self-exiled and escaped the safety of The Aether to other places, knowing they will someday perish with no hope for reincarnation, simply hoping to live the rest of their days in peace.

(Angels can also survive outer space!)

They are capable of few "miracles" (1-3 typically), great healing magic (physical bodies only), speaking to and seeing spectres, and generate intense or calming auras. They're also capable of flight!

SEVENTH SLIDE;

This slide is titled “Notes on Demons”. The text is as follows;

Demons were created with very little in the way of physical bodies to cling to, with their lifeforce instead clinging to magic, items, ashen waste, insects, and fire or lava. Power usually correlates to a Demon's age.

A weak Demon will be an invisible force, possessing others in lieu of having a physical body - whereas a powerful Demon will be able to generate a physical form through ability alone. Demons can gain power over time by making Blood Oaths with mortals, or possession leading to the mortal's demise.

Much like Angels, Demons can't reside outside of The Nether for very long. It's very, very rare for Demons and Angels to meet in person.

Demons often choose very dense, sharp bodies with horns, pointed teeth, spiked tails, and bladed claws, to evoke a predator-prey reaction in mortals, and to show off their power to other Demons.

EIGHTH SLIDE;

Anything can breed with Anything. Hybrids can happen, and have happened. Though, they are pretty rare.

A Human-Demon hybrid is referred to as a "Wraith", and are seen as bad omens.

Hybrid Angels are very rarely able to perform one miracle, and are seen as good luck.

Hybridized Lineages of Humans and Villagers exist across Craftia in small tribes, and (their groups) often go by different names, usually a family name. They're fairly new to the scene.

Fae Hybrids are the most common type, sometimes resulting in an entirely new (sub)race of Fae.

Some Unseelie, like the Vampire and Werewolf, have the ability to "infect" or "turn" other mortals, effectively changing (metamorphosizing) their species into one of them.

The Trueblood are Fae who have been born as the species which infects.

The Afflicted are (other) mortals who have been "turned" directly by a Fae.

The Kindred and Kindred lineages are descendants of an Afflicted.

Miracles for Angels and Hybrids are "per person", and do not regenerate (after use). Angels know their miracle limit - however, hybrids do not.

Angels and Demons can shift their forms, but not totally shapeshift, unless they're incredible powerful.

Ravagers and Villagers/Illagers share a common ancestor.

Villager teeth are bigger and thicker than a Human's, so their verbal communication isn't quite the same. They prefer to speak less, and dislike that Humans talk "too much". Some Villagers can (learn to) speak Human languages, however.

The Human ability to generate a "mob mentality" among other species usually works out in their benefit, except on Craftia, where most things can become hostile toward them. It seems their influences have an opposing effect on certain species and in certain locations. Why this is, no one knows.
