CHAPTER ONE: YHI

It is believed that each person has a presence in the Dreaming; Before, during and after life. These children of the spirit are the manifestations of an individual's dreams, a representation of sorts of their dreamer. There are many known worlds and universes contained in the Dreaming, some closer, some further.

Of the many worlds and universes in Dreamtime, Aljira Copernican is one of the most diverse and lush star systems known. With three planets of varying temperatures and atmospheres, the inhabitants, these spirit children, also known as Cluricaun, are reflections of the worlds in which they dwell. They have long since adapted to their surroundings, living in any environment remotely capable of sustaining life. Where it is not possible, they actively search for ways to make it so. Still, even within their own planets, there are areas that remain undiscovered. Who knows what will be uncovered when adventurous Cluricaun set out to learn more about their worlds?

As a race, Cluricaun are intelligent and innovative by nature, even those most concerned with staying in the old routines. Their personalities are immensely variable, as are their own dreams and aspirations. However, even within these worlds, there are a variety of Cluricaun to be found, not just in personality but in appearance as well, displaying the adaptations and characteristics necessary for their survival. As different as their lands are, so too are the Cluricaun.

On each of their respective planets, many generations ago, the Cluricaun came across a small child alone and in the cold, different and unknown to them. Some of the more kind-hearted Cluricaun took her in and raised her as their own and in the ways of the Cluricaun. Over the course of some time, it became clear that this particular spirit child, who they named Yhi - a word associated with light and creation - was different from the rest; the only one of its kind.

Not only did she age quickly but there were times when it seemed she spoke of experiences elsewhere when she had been around them the entire time. In addition, she grew and aged at an exceptional rate until reaching the physical appearance of being in her late teens when all development stopped. However, she continued to mature emotionally and to gain more knowledge from her daily experiences. All the while, she conducted herself with grace and kindness, clearly displaying the wisdom she had gained from all the things she had experienced. Through the actions of this child, it was soon concluded that she was worthy of respect and honour.

However, she would not accept the possibility of being a true ruler, making decisions and governing the intricate details of Cluricaun life. Despite her omnipresence, the ability to be everywhere if she chose, she was not interested in monitoring the ins and outs of all Cluricaun. Instead, she agreed to become a guardian of sorts but one who rarely intervened or decreed, free to go about her business and enjoy her time as she pleased. This decision on her part was welcomed and lauded, for Cluricauns value their ability to do what they will, and lends what decrees or decisions she does make all the more weight and import.

The Cluricaun on each planet know that they are not alone and that there are others somewhat like them on the other two planets, made aware of this as they were by the knowledge Yhi had imparted to them. Gifted with this information so many generations ago, the Cluricaun have now reached a point where they will soon be ready to visit these planets where others like them dwell, curious to see what else is out there, branching out and exploring the planets close by. As if their own internal conflicts were not enough, the potential for war between these planets and their inhabitants, so similar yet so different, is ever present.

And the first representatives from the other two planets are now arriving. What new issues might arise between the Cluricaun from different worlds, adding to the already complicated lives they lead? What awaits them on these planets, startling in their contrast to their native environments?

YHI

Of unknown age, Yhi has been with the Cluricaun almost as far back as can be remembered.

Many generations ago, a baby was discovered alone and in the cold by the Cluricaun on each of the planets. Within days, the elders of these societies had all reached similar conclusions; they would raise the child amongst them as their own. As she grew, it became clear to all that she had many abilities, not the least of which was the ability to be in multiple places at the same time. She matured quickly, far more quickly than was normal, but once her physical appearance reached that of someone in her late teens, she ceased to grow altogether.

From the time she was a small child, Yhi has been known for moving with grace and compassion. She was always respectful of all, meeting everyone with a calm, understanding demeanour. Maturing and continuing to grow emotionally, she conducted herself in a wholly honourable fashion and it became quite obvious to the Cluricaun that she was wise beyond her years.

On all three planets, they wished for her to become their ruler, seeing in the young woman all the traits they desired in a ruler. Upon all three, she politely declined. However, upon their insistence, she agreed to become a guardian of sorts for them, uninvolved in the day-to-day governing on the planets but, should she ever choose to make a decree, they would listen and obey what she said and defer to her wisdom.

She continues to appear with relative frequency among the Cluricaun and is content to exist amongst them as an equal. Her actual physical appearance has been a matter of some dispute as it seems to alter according to who sees her and the environment she appears in. However, the one common thing that does seem to hold is that she has a tattoo resembling a dragon, one she was in fact found with as a baby.

Still, so many aspects of Yhi remain a mystery and it is theorized that she, herself, would be unable to provide insight if asked. Certainly, when asked, she only smiles at the question and shakes her head.

AVERAGE SIZE CHART



DAIAH
Common



Kit - Youth - Adult

Although giving the appearance of softness, Daiah fur is actually short and wiry. It is difficult for them to retain large amounts of body heat because of this. Their tails, in contrast, are quite long and covered in luscious, thick fur which can be wrapped around their bodies or used as a nest after they have had a litter. It has yet to be determined what the feathers are used for. However, it is quite certain that they serve a purpose and are of significance to the Daiah. It has also been noted that the colour of these feathers are the same as their eyes.

More information can be found here.


AKALA
Uncommon



Kit - Youth - Adult

Despite also having short fur like the Daiah, their coat is quite soft. Akala tails, notably longer by their bodies by half a length, assists in keeping themselves balanced when they are flying. Their wings are more than usable but only allow for approximately five minutes of flight before they begin to tire, due to the size of their bodies relative to the small, feathery wings on their backs. Their hearing is quite acute, compensating for their mediocre eyesight and sense of smell.

More information can be found here.


GAYA-DARI
Uncommon




Cub - Youth - Adult

Spending the entirety of their lives under water, both saltwater and fresh, the Gaya-dari have naturally adapted to this lifestyle. Their gills can be found on either side of their torso, halfway up their chests. They have scales which extend from the tips of their tails and end around where their gills are located. The remainder is covered in long fur. Although their eyesight is quite poor, Gaya-dari have an incredible sense of smell and are able to identify scents from several miles away.

TWO-TAILED NUMBAT
Small creatures with long fur, a finely pointed muzzle, round-tipped ears and two bushy tails, which are roughly as long as the length of their bodies. They mainly inhabit forests and woodlands, but can also be found in grasslands. Due to the nature of their diet, numbats are active during the day, and retreat back to their nests at night. They find their food primarily using scent, but they also have a high visual perception.

COCKATOO
Smart and affectionate birds with large, curved beaks and tall crests of feathers on their heads. They tend to live in grassy savannas and open grasslands, taking up roost in trees, and living in flocks of varying size. Cockatoos are active during the day and rest at night, though they are not early risers, and will wait to venture from their roosts until well after the sun has risen.

FUR SEAL PUP
Aptly named for their thick coats, the fur seals have small external ears and long, muscular fore flippers. They have sharp eyesight, a keen sense of hearing, and when on land are able to walk on all fours. The fur seals spend the majority of their time in the water, able to do so because their fur coats keep them warm, even in freezing temperatures.
