⇀ Species Lore

Lustre Beasts are anti-social creatures that prefer to live by themselves or in pairs. Although they possess high level reasoning skills, they find no need to create society or community, seeking solace with only themselves. The one thing that stands out about Lustre Beasts is their never ending fascination with precious materials. Every Beast has an obsession with them and will go out of their way to hoard whatever material they find the most beautiful. They will adorn themselves with it, fill their homes with it, and even eat it on more extreme occasions. Lustre Beasts usually only obsess over one material, but rarely they will choose more than one. These materials can range from precious metals to glimmering jewels. It’s simple, the more of their obsession that a Lustre Beast has, the happier and healthier they are. Some even modify their appearance to be more in line with the aesthetic of their material.

Lustre Beasts live both alone in the wilderness and in towns and villages. It often depends on where it’s easier to find the material they crave.

Lustre Beasts have strong claw-like paws build for digging while their feet are hooves that allow them to walk unharmed over even the most treacherous of metallic terrain. They range from 5ft tall to nearly 7ft, but they weigh far less than they look due to their very fluffy fur. They sport 2 sets of eyes, 4 in total, and a forked tongue. Their fur patterns, color, and amount varies tremendously between individuals and is often not a good way of distinguishing them from other species. They are bipedal with tail that narrows to a point (but is often covered with a mane of fur). Their long ears are actually very good at hearing the differences in how sound travels through materials, allowing them to better locate their chosen precious items. They all have horns on the top of their head, although the horns vary in shape and size.

Lustre Beast rarity in this shop is organized based on how much a Beast deviates from its base form with it's dimorphisms. Essentially: the more complicated a Lustre Beast is in fur pattern, horns, etc, the more rare it is. A majority of beasts have very simple underbelly and point patterns and are 'common', while anything more extreme than that is 'rare'.

⇀ "A well-mannered encounter"

by Angeleina

Today was one of those days where you would find Ruby trying to trick a vendor out of all of his rubies for the price of none. The Lustre Beast always loved the brilliant gems. It was one of his favorite things to do, collect rubies and hoard them. The more rubies he had, the happier he was and more excited he was to go find more. Now, others may call what he did a hustle, but he was, in fact, a very good businessman. His “persuasion” was a cold, calculative discussion in his victims’ eyes. One that they always seemed to lose.

“Rest assured my friend, your rubies will be in great hands.” Purred Ruby.

The look of hesitance on the vendors face slowly faded away until it was replaced with decisiveness. Taking out a small pouch of bright, shining red rubies, he held it out to the con artist. Just as Ruby was outstretching his arm to receive the precious gems, an obstacle obstructed his path to victory. Two beings who had been walking down the very same shady alley had seen the pair and had decided to approach them to see what they were doing.

“You really don’t want to sell your rubies to this one, Vendor. He will take everything you have and give you nothing, all while making it your own decision.” It was Alastore, the fancy bartender and Ruby’s sworn enemy. Beside him stood Manevra, the stone faced demon.

Ruby growled as the vendor seemed to shake himself out of whatever trance Ruby had put him in with his powers of influence and fled with all of his rubies in his satchel. As the would be victim disappeared behind a corner, Ruby whirled to meet the ones who ruined his plans.

“Alastore! How dare you!” Ruby spat. “You KNOW how hard it is to find Rubies now a days!”

It wasn’t rare to see them arguing about pretty much anything. In fact, Alastore was quite happy to do so. Being a cheerful individual himself and someone who loves to tease people, especially his friend Manevra, he enjoyed the ‘friendly’ bantering with Ruby. Alastore didn’t quite know when this rivalry had started but he did find it fun to keep it going. Usually though, the bantering was never anything really serious. Nothing ever came to violence between them. It was almost like an unspoken accord.

Shaking his head, he ignored Ruby and nudged Manevra in the side. The look that passed between them was subtle and only someone who was watching them as closely as Ruby would have noticed it. Ruby did notice it and grinded his teeth in frustration.

Grunting, Manevra shook his head also. “You shouldn’t deceive your buyers like that. You’ll never gain business trust that way.” Of course, he was only trying to be helpful in a good natured way. He understood what Ruby was doing as a fellow businessman, even though he’d never go so far as to con someone out of their valuables. He never really understood what was going on between them either, not that he really cared. Alastore may have been his friend but he wasn’t about to stick his nose into his friend’s affairs.

“Stay out of it.” snapped Ruby. “You always ruin the fun.” Those two nearly always appeared anytime he was doing something productive or having the least bit of fun. Granted, arguing with Alastore was also fun, but not when it caused him to lose his precious rubies!

Alastore chuckled darkly. He WAS the fun, and he made sure everyone knew it. Alastore had a pretty dark sense of humor. Manevra and Rubby both knew it, and decided not to say anything, thinking it better to leave the bartender to his own devices and see where that dark sense of humor got him one day. Ignoring Ruby again, he said to Manevra, “See Mani? What I tell ya, a stick in the mud?”

Sighing irritably, Manevra shot a look to his friend. “I told you know to call me that.” He did indeed dislike when Alestore called him that. Manevra was also a strong believer in rules and regulatuion. He encountered displeasure anytime a rule was broken or bent. That didn’t stop him from bending them his own twisted way though.

Laughing, Alastore and Manevra both started walking towards the side of town that held the bars, no doubt to get to work or take some time off, leaving Ruby to fume to himself. Grumbling and mumbling profanities under his breath, Ruby took off in the other direction, thinking of a new place he could find more rubies to hustle off another vendor. The next time he saw them, he would tell them what was on his mind. He probably wouldn’t.
