Magyks- The Magyks are the ones that have caused this commotion. They are the ones who are different. Many have powers, some are simply myths. Whatever they be, they are not accepted by the Norms. They reside on the southern half of the island with the other Myths, serving under the King. Some of the Magyks have their own languages between themselves, but all know the universal language and can converse with humans.
Here is an in-depth look at each species of the Magyks.
Here is an in-depth look at each species of the Magyks.
MagyciansMagycians are the most powerful of the Magyks. They can do just about anything with the right focus. The one thing they absolutely cannot do is bring someone back from the dead. And only those of a pure heart can travel to the land of the dead. There are currently only 3 Magycians on this island. Two of them are fairly young, while the King's Enchanter is well over 900 years old. There really is no known age limit to these people because there have only ever been a few.
TrickstersTricksters are basically the equivalent of our Magicians. They can do party tricks and have very little magic. Unlike those who are younger Magycians, the Tricksters cannot build their powers and become stronger. They are forever at the small level of magic and are mostly street performers. All of the Myths enjoy the Tricksters. Unlike their name implies, most of them are law abiding, very few have had to resort to thievery. Tricksters can live up to 125 years old.
DragonsYou've got many different species of dragons, and most of them are peaceful. Those who aren't reside in the mountains near the border at the center of the island. The others reside in the mountains surrounding the castle and town. They aren't feared and provide a good warning when danger is coming. Most of them are in the King's guard. Dragons generally live no longer than 500 years.
UnicornsThe unicorns are made up of two different species. There is your Equine Unicorn and True Unicorn types. You generally see more Equine Unicorns around the castle, and they are the ones who serve in the guard as mounts. True Unicorns are generally only found in the forests, though a few do brave the castle. The true unicorns are less likely to approach someone, being much shyer than the equine unicorns, who are very personable. There are a few who are actually very brave and outgoing, and they are the ones in the guard. Equine Unicorns live for at least 200 years, True Unicorns could be 500 years old.
ShiftersShifters are humans with the ability to take the form of an animal. Generally this animal reflects their personality. However their powers can progress and a few of them can take multiple different forms. They are generally limited even still. Shifters have the average lifespan of a human, no matter what form they prefer to reside in.
ShadowsShadows are mysterious people, but they are peaceful. Shadows take the form of humans and have the ability shift the light around them to make themselves, and basically whatever they want, disappear. They make wonderful spies and good guardsmen. They can make just about anything disappear, even whole armies and castles. They can live up to 250 years.
FaeriesFaeries come in many different forms. The majority of faeries are really rather small, while there are a few species that are as large as an average human. These are rare, but still around, and increasingly less rare. Faeries vary in personalities, but they generally match whatever element that the faerie controls. They generally live for about 150 years.
PhoenixesPhoenixes are gentle creatures, very wise, very old. They have nearly been here the longest, though its hard to say. The phoenixes live around the castle, and generally pick someone to latch onto, to give aide to. The King has numerous phoenixes on his council, his own, the Enchanter's, and the ones who have attached themselves to his chosen knights. Phoenixes can live for hundreds of years without being reborn. The oldest one as of now is 956 years old.
ElementalsElementals have the ability to take control of a single element, earth, air, water, or fire. Elementals can come in any variety. They can be humans, or animals, but other Magyks cannot be Elementals as well. They are generally peaceful folk, and can only control one element. They have a normal lifespan for their form.
Note; If you have a Magyk that you would like to see on this list, please PM me and we can see about it. I'm very open to new creatures to add.
