The Host
The Anyrii prefer humans as their host as they have the most malleable body types for them. It’s easier to learn communication among other skills with a human host than it is for other sorts of species hosts. There are generally two types of relationships that the Anyrii and Host fall under which have their own pros and cons depending on which perspective you're looking from.
Parasitic RelationshipConflicting relationships with the host result in a more bizarre and often distracting outward appearance. While they aren’t severely damaging to the host or the Anyrii, it isn’t good for surviving. Regular sickness is more prevalent and at most, there are serious complications of the host's body from gaining diseases that would otherwise be healed or blocked by the Anyrii. Amalgamation Anyrii tends to have a Parasitic relationship.
Symbiotic RelationshipThe more similar they are personality-wise, the more harmonious their appearance is. They often share memories, skills, and much more. The host's lifespan also benefits from the symbiotic relationship. Though if the Anyrii leaves a very old host, the physical body of the host will deteriorate quickly. Standard Anyrii tends to have a Symbiotic relationship.
The Anyrii
The true origins of the Anyrii are unclear, whether it is derived from The Other or from the consciousness of humanity not even the oldest of the surviving Anyrii are sure. What is known is how Anyrii are formed nowadays. When older Anyrii creates wisps, over time the wisps gain sentience and separate from the Anyrii and mold themselves according to their own wishes, however, if they wish to maintain this sentience they require a tangible body that anchors them into the physical realm. This is where the host comes in. The true form of the Anyrii is cold to the touch but burns the skin. They are intangible but felt. When they have a host, their bodies become slightly tangible like very fine silk that looks like a heavy yet contained fog.
AbilitiesThe Anyrii have different abilities that are shaped by their circumstances, when they gain a host they too have the ability to channel the Anyrii’s learned abilities. Some have a preference for traditional abilities such as elemental powers, some have the ability to communicate and summon souls from The Other. Some have strangely specific abilities that aren’t at all beneficial unless used creatively.
LanguageThe Anyrii when they do not have their host communicate using the light they give off, use a version similar to Morse code to signal to others as they do not use sound to communicate often. If the Anyrii has a host, they are able to learn the language through the symbiotic relationship they have with the host. However, if they are in a parasitic relationship, it ends up sounding muddled and indecipherable. Amalgamation Anyrii has multiple voices so it sounds like a sea of chaotic garbled whispering or screeching.
