➸ The Study

[npcsofmana]

There is nothing unusual about the door to the Study. In the coziness of Home, it looks exactly like it belongs. The doorway across from the dining area is made of the same wood as most of the home, and its curved door blends in well with the soft welcome the house in general impresses.

Inside, one gets the impression of a room well used. Small nicks and drops of ink have been pressed into the wood of the few desks drawers, and sidetables that fill the Study up, and there are marks in the wood floor that suggest movement once upon a time. Despite this fact, a vast majority of the books lining the full shelves seem blank.

Many of them will stay that way. Thus, characters are more than welcome to use the study as it's intended: to keep note of their experiences or what they discover in this world. If they do that, simply leave a top level comment below with the character and the focus of the book in the subject title. (ex. "Rachel - Diary") Filling out their book simply means commenting to the top level.

A few books, however, will seemingly fill up on their own in time as the characters explore more of the world, encounter different creatures, and speak with various people. It even seems as if there's information on them...

These books are as followed:
➸ Artifacts
➸ Locations
➸ Bestiary
➸ Magic
➸ Produce
➸ People
➸ Visitors

➸ Demi-Human

[npcsofmana]

Races and certain groups that cannot truly be likened to what would usually be called "monsters", yet who will not or cannot integrate into the usual communities that have been built in places like towns. With more tendency than other creatures, they hoard Lucre, but the items they may have on their person are more varied.

➸ Chobin Hood
Diminutive mice-like beings who distinguish themselves from more law abiding individuals in their race through their hoods. A master-bow hunter group. They look pretty cute, but they can be pretty mean. While their accuracy is top notch, they're slow to get their arrows ready and aren't very fast on their feet. While they have a natural resistance to Dryad, in turn they're weak against Aura.

Found in: Luon Highway

➸ Narcissos
The clan these monsters are often part of are obsessed with staying in shape by practicing their own martial arts. No known language of theirs has ever been recorded. It seems that their primarily method of communicating is with their body and combat. If beaten in an honorable fight, they've been known to reward their opponent with fighting gloves they've apparently taken from other human opponents. Covered in a pale green fur, they walk on two clawed feet and sometimes reach the height of two meters. Their strength is best against Aura and Gnome, but doesn't do well against Dryad and Salamander.

➸ Sahagin
Originally a purely aquatic race, over time, they have evolved to become amphibious and have become a part of the demi-human category once they began to live on land. This shows in their physical appearance as round fish-like creatures that maneuver on a pair of finned feet. The majority of their bodies are covered in lime green scales, but there are patches of orange that make up their fins, eyelids, and lips. Colonies of them have become frequent in many places, from caves to deserts, and they have shown themselves to be quite resourceful. Despite their watery origins, they seem to be fairly successful blacksmiths and their spears hold up well. However, unfortunately they can be fairly territorial and don't respond well to outsiders. Fittingly, they have a strong alignment with Undine, but are weak to Jinn.

➸ Goblin
These short humanoids reach a meter and a half, and are covered in a soft tan fur. Their large pointed ears give them good hearing. While they have fearsome teeth under flappy bowls, they don't often use them and instead prefer to utilize weapons and armor that they've scavenged from places. Despite being very much a warrior race, they have strange religious beliefs which dictate that 'evil doings' are the key to life. While they find strength in Shade and Dryad, they don't fair nearly so well against Wisp and Aura.
