Lore
The Living
The Faun are mythical creatures that inhabit the lands far and wide. Their behaviors and appearance greatly varies depending on where they come from, as does their culture and customs. They are from a realm rather weak on magic, but that's not to say they don't know how to carry themselves. Most of them share a deep connection to nature. Their legs are sturdy and strong, and they're exceptional runners - easily outrunning humans.
In a world inhabited by humans and faun, conflicts arise at every corner. Humans stick to their villages, building more and more impressive buildings and weaponery, striving for simple lives in luxury. Southern faun tend to the abused forests, in tune with nature, desperate to protect the woods that are their home. Northern faun terrorize the vast mountain ranges in the far north, where it's so cold that hardly any humans choose to live there. These three groups have been coexisting more or less peacefully, with humans and northern faun being the usual trouble makers. Humans started hunting faun for fame and cheap labour. Northern faun started raiding villages. Southern faun try to establish peace with their northern kin, whilst struggling to stay alive. In these circumstances, many personal stories unfold- and they are more connected than one might think.
From the north
The roughest of the bunch, the northern faun are ragged and strong. Due to mostly living in the freezing mountains, their own color palette has adapted to fit that area, with litte saturation. They do have a thing for war paint however.
From the South
They live like their ancestors, hidden in woods and forests, within their own kind. They are at danger of being hunted down unless they stick to their groups. They blend in well with nature, especially in summer, with lush greens and warm colors.
Steam from the east
These faun have left their roots in the forests and wildness behind, moving into the cities alongside humans. Their colors have grown muted, more browns and greys, and their fashion style adjusted to city life.
Flowers from the west
The softest of the bunch, while living civilized lives, they have not left the woods behind. They can be found with pastel colored fur, soft in general.
The Undead
Although Ihrutia is a realm with little magic, it has not been left untouched by the influence of the reflection. In fact, certain individuals have discovered a wicked ritual that can be performed with certain conditions met: All that's needed is the grave of a faun, a dark intent, and an object infused with magic from the reflection. The result - Skelefaun. Deathly beautiful, strange creatures that exist at the brink between life and death. A Skelefaun doesn't come into the world fully grown- once most of their body has surfaced from the earth, they are much like children. They need a lot of care and the risk of them dying before ever reaching adult form is high. Occassionally, some of them retain memories or features of the being that gave them life.
They tend to be fragile, not usually dangerous, but reports of rogue individuals have been made. Their bodies are thin and partly reminiscent of skeletons. They do have skin, but its taut against their limbs and very thin. It can break easily without bleeding. Their 'ribs' and spikes may shatter just as easily, but they are able to regrow them if treated well. Thanks to that, one may encounter the same Skelefaun with a different numbers of 'ribs'.
For obvious reasons, the creation of Skelefaun is highly questionable and more than frowned upon.

These traits can be on top of any base MYO to create even more fun designs! Traits may be locked to a species, a subtype or they may work on any character.
Intricate Ears (Uncommon) Masterlist Examples

Plant like growths on their bodies and a very in depth relationship with nature, these beings are quite the sight. This can range from sprouting flowers to having whole limbs made off of wood or plant matter. These parts may be disconnected or partly floating thanks to magical spells. There may also be floating flowers or petals around them.
NOTE: This trait can turn a characters existing limbs, or part of one, into a different material. This should never affect more than 50% of the characters main body (the main body consisting of head, torso, arms and legs).
