putting your characters into my fantasy world! :D

yooo its me again, back with another thread!

ive been hyperfixated on developing the fantasy world that me and my bf use for our ocs that don’t fit anywhere else, and i thought it would be fun to work on developing it by seeing how other people’s ocs would fit in it!

if you could throw any of the characters who are in the world a fav it would be appreciated! 

technically you can send in any oc, just be aware that exulas is primarily a humanoid world so non-humanoids will have a limited answer ^^;

the world page is here, but it is Very bare bones atm since most of the lore is in our heads and in the Process of being put down TAT its mostly good for the map lmao

if you have any further questions about whatever your character gets assigned, my boyfriend has a questions thread here where you can ask more about it! ^^

if there are any particularly fun lore things that come up as part of this, i might sketch some of them as well 👀👀

kemonomimi exist in exulas so he’s probably just a cat kemonomimi living in yraitol! (ive said yraitol fo so many of these but like,,, its the most habitable place for a reason TAT) as a busy bartender he’s gotta be in The City at least a little, and the westernmost bigish city of yraitol is akine! politically, akine is really close with the capital so they’re quite internally wealthy, which means that even as a bartender and the youngest child tiny would be able to live a comfortable life there! whether stress free or not,,, i cannot guarantee, especially with a lot of siblings living nearby gkdhdkdh

ISRIIII MY BELOVED ok she is a Prime example of how the ilaphis class system works and occasionally fails, and tbh i could see a lot of overlap between her story and high elven social norms (maybe kieran is a high elf or smth?? for spice. he feels like he would thrive in gender role town that is high elf society) the main thing that would probably be different is that exulas’ gods are a lot less,,,, divine. or rather they fit a lot less well into divine sorcery stuff fkdhdjh it might be a case of having a connection to the knowledge of healing magic that is so strong that it becomes divine type thing rather than an actual godly connection (other than the 4 main ‘true’ gods any other gods or divine creatures are self-made through basically conviction- for better or worse) which could have really fun implications for how isri’s self-confidence impacts her magical ability

another big change is that she would be an avian (probably) in exulas >:) wingies all the time every time. OR immediately backtracking to be like she could be a high elf living in ilaphis with a physical excess of magic that externally forms into her wings? i can give you so much high elven lore (when it is not 2am) that fits the noble side of her backstory hehehe

b4llfart thank you so much! hopefully as we keep working in the world page there’ll be an easier way to grasp the lore past,,, scrolling through my answers fkdhdjdh but for now its all i got

good luck with your story world as well!

angeliic_gestalt

OOOOH YES!! kieran is canonly a high elf i believe, and YOOOO the divine magic thing is so cool!! wingies too.... i cant WAIT to hear the elven lore infodump :O

The fantasy world you’ve developed so far is really cool, I’m such a sucker for world building and lore..!! Wish my bf was into stuff like this too lol, but I’d love to see how it continues expanding and getting fleshed out!

Anyways, I present to you my half-elf nature cleric, Hazel (^ v ^) Interested in seeing how she’d fit in your guys’ world!

nessa-ssary

thank you so much! i adore worldbuilding and figuring out how lore things fit together so much, so making a thread about it was inevitable fkdhdjdh

first off her profile is So Pretty :0 i love the coding on it

also, her fundamental aspects probably would still be the same! half elves are very much a thing, more so with wood elves than high elves, and tbh i think her being a half-wood elf fits anyway. elven society has only recently started interacting with everyone else again after the violent revolution on yraitol, which could easily explain why hazel is so timid if she’s just sheltered from exclusively living with other wood elves- especially since the main wood elf settlement is directly north of the capital, it would probably be quite a culture shock to go to! 

as for the ‘nature’ god, that would be ngatai’marhui, which is very interesting for hazel since it’s primarily the god of the sea (or rather,,, Is. the sea since it’s the other creator god but anyway-) and depending at what point it wakes up and basically goes and lives to the north of yraitol (semi willingly, they are moved there bc moving around is making the tides go Crazy) so both interesting because she doesn’t like deep water, and because in theory she can go see her god in fantasy florida fldhdjdb

another possibility however is that rather than the Actual nature god, she just worships the power of nature itself in a more traditional sense (most people in yraitol don’t have physical embodiments of their gods because the last guy who did that decided he was one and they had to kill him smh) with a connection strong enough to things like the seasonal changes and cycles of life that it becomes divine (but since ngatai’marhui technically made all that eventually that power probably circles back to it at least a little tbh)

yees another one who’s easy to assign. he’s obviously an avian, and i think he would fit being a brambling avian, due to their colouration and smaller wing size leaning to him only being to fly for shorter time periods. i think he could fit well in somerpar, since it is a big creation hub for magical foci and spell components, so there is an in for magical study there without the mass hustle and bustle of putting him in usrada, which i think would be less fitting overall. being Not in the capital as well would lend to him being a Big magic nerd in the hopes of getting picked in l’assemblé to go study as a duwir, so i think its even more fitting with that :D

Cachan NinjaNightCrawler

(Kind of in limbo between humanoid and anthro but tagged as humanoid anyway because he just gives that kind of vibe)

Go ahead :P

calimaricutlery

NinjaNightCrawler hell yess french dragon can go to fantasy france.

he would pretty much not need changing past humanising them a bit more, exulas dragons have a much more humanoid form with only their horns, wings and tail remaining from their true draconic form. and ilaphis is just,,, magic france so he would probably live there. of the cities in ilaphis, i feel like cachan fits living in the countryside to be more reclusive, and so i think ilinas is a fitting place for them to live. since no one really leaves there because of how well its infrastructure works, and being a small town man with not much movement away from his hometown i feel fits his personality quite well

Chimera Cetus Swarmofmoths

Would love to see what you do with him

calimaricutlery

JustCass it could easily be an avian! in terms of Trains, the closest equivalent that we have developed so far would probably be the skyships between ilaphis and yraitol- and tbh there’s every chance that there is a more train-like one used for transporting people commercially. ilaphis has a lot of magical gems that could find their way onto the train as a pebbles equivalent too fldhdjdb

fantasy trains and trams my beloved though there would inevitably be some form of them in the other countries too just as basic public transport, but the ilaphis one i feel works best with his design :D
