I'm copypasting this from my old da journal lmao, so there's probably some errors :P This species concept is from 2020.

=Amilings=

These adorable little beings can be found on () Forest and rarely enough on some other forest, they're magic entities that take care of keepings the forest healty, as well as their habitants... They're always kind and playfull, their magic comes from doing good actios, they storage it on thier heads. It's really important for them that their forest is healty! they're bounded with it, which means that if the forest dies they do too.

Since this is an ARPG oriented species they do level up, and unlock abilities and traits!

How are Amilings born? 

well, they certainly don't reproduce! as said before, Amilings are magic entities! there are some diferent ways of an Amiling to be born, they can be summoned by other fellow Amiling of great level, meaning they're bounded forever... Or they're naturally born from wishes and prays, a kind wish whispered at night to a shiny star.

Yeah it is true that not all wishes become Amilings, it is a weird thing to happend, some believe it's not the wish itself, but the person that wishes, it is believed that they receive their magic from the moon.

Do Amilings eat? 

Not at all! they do not eat, since eating almost always impies consuming life, they do usually drink water, but it must be clean! any other thing that goes into their bodies could cause them a disease or might even corrupt them

What happens to a corrupted Amiling?

Sadly, if it's not treated, they'll never go back to what they were

What are their magic abilities?

Well, mostly it keeps them alive, but there's still a plenty of it to go around, so a Amilig is capable of doing lots of things, of course everything has it's own level of dificulty and required a lot of experience... From healing plants to animals and even human beings! growing plants, all kinds of enchanting, summoning friends and weapons, conceiving wishes and most importantly protecting themselfs from the Nemlings!

Oh god, what are Nemlings? 

Good question! i see you're paying attention

Nemlings are big hideous creatures, you could think of them as Amiling's natural predators, contrary to Amilings they do not get magic power from kind actions, in fact they do not get any magic at all so the only way to keep living is to take magic, Nemlings are starved but they do not die, they keep eating but they never get full,they're a cursed existence. Usually attack each new moon, they capture and eat the heads of Amilings and once the day comes they go to sleep until next full moon.

 Did, did you mentioned something about summoning friends?

Oh yeah! Amilings can summon allies! mostly to help them fighting Nemlings, it requires big amount of magic to summon an allie, and there are a few choices to do, it all depends on the Amling level and their mascots Level! each one levels up individually, we'll talk more about it later on!

=Survival Mode=

The main event, it is optional ofc

Each new moon, when the forest magic power is at it's lowest it's when Nemlings raid, looking to eat as many Amilings as they can, filling their mouths with Magic escent!

Your main focus is to survive! You had been preparing for this night for a whole month, gathering all the magic and items you could, working in spells and new abilities, growing your pets!

But, how to do all those things?

Well, as said before, Amilings get magic from kind actions! Magic is what you should be focused most!

Whenever you draw your Amiling you get Exp (and Magic) necessary to level up an Amiling and their abilities

Whenever you draw gift art, you receive a double amount of magic!

Items have a 20% chance to be found on the last two categories, but if you participe on a quest you get 50% chances of finding an item

All of these can be mixed up as long as the final piece follows all the rules!

What are items for?

There are a variety of items for all kind of stuff, to be used you'll need to spend magic power tho, and it is important that you don't get drained by the New moon or you won't survive!

 Items can be used in two ways
