The Raidu'Rei are a lot like normal horses but because of their blessing they have a minor magic ability. A Rei can use one of several natural born abilities that you can choose from should you wish to RP your Rei. A Halfblood Rei or one that shares the blood of two species can choose 2 RP powers. More information on powers can be found in the guild.
► Stages
Raidu Rei go through three stages of life: Bundle, Foal, and Adult.
►Bundle A handwoven blanket is used as a bundle to keep the newborn safe and warm until the elves or it's parents choose it's caretaker. Bundles are the starting stage of a Rei can can't do much yet.
Talk: They can squeak and whinny but nothing more.
RP: Not much to do at this stage other then RP others looking after it. The most movement they do is wiggle a bit.
[Lasts about a week or two]
► Foal A baby Rei is full of energy and has a knack for getting into any and every kind of trouble a young horse can. Parents keep a watchful eye at this stage but everyone knows kids are natural as sneaking away!
Talk: Like a child, they don't use complex ideas or sentence structure, think your little sibling or relative.
RP: A more exciting stage, you can RP your Rei getting in to trouble, exploring, running around with it's friends, or even talking with it's soul lantern which serves as a guide for the young Rei.
[lasts 1 month]
► Adult An adult Rei is strong and independent, able to fend for itself but still part of a herd most of the time. Adults can breed and start a herd of their own.
Talk: They can talk just as you or I would can can converse with elves and their soul lantern.
RP: it's pretty much the sky is the limit at this point. Adults can breed so you can RP your Rei finding friends and maybe that special someone. Rping your rei falling in love or dating is a good way to keep a story going.
► Species
Over time the Raidu'Rei have come under the influence of energies both good and bad and mysterious! These energies have mutated the Rei into several different types. These types are all available through sales and breedings but some are hard to find.
The normal Raidu'Rei is referred to as a native. They have standard magic ability and speech along with their soul lantern. However there are species of rei with amazing and terrible power!
Gabri'Ali are the result of the Raidu'Rei being influences by pure good energy. A Gabri'ali has advanced healing abilities and most of them look to bettering themselves and taking care of others. Though the majority of the breed is kind-hearted and pure there can be a few arrogant and mean spirited individuals. Gabri'ali can live everywhere but tend to stick to higher altitudes.
RP TIP: Think of a being that is blessed by good energy and is naturally drawn to helping others. Though a bad Gabri'Ali could consider others to be beneath them.
Asmo'Dikan are the result of the darkness that seeps into ones very heart and corrupts it. Asmo'Dikan are feared for their savagery and their society is based on strength and battle. Asmo'Dikan are for the most part evil, insane, and out for themselves and noone else. Asmo'dikan will not hesitate to challenge other Rei to battle and will harm other Rei if they can. These are dangerous creatures and should be approached with caution. They can liveeverywhere but tend to stick to the wastes and the mountain caves.
Though the majority of this breed is evil to the core there can be somewhat kind individuals. Asmo'Dikan are strictly carnivores and will even eat the dead and other Rei!
RP TIP: Think of an animalistic and wild soul with a thirst for blood and battle. Or a kind Asmo'Dikan could be tough and cold although somewhat helpful. These guys will never be sunshine and rainbows.. Never.
Kirin are the rarest species of Raidu'Rei in the land. Rumor has it they migrated here from across the sea long ago after the chaos. Kirins are graceful and have a powerful luck magic that keeps them from harm. They posess a unique psychic energy that enables them to perform tasks such as walking on water and even sensing the energys of other rei out of sight.
RP TIP: Think of an exotic spirit with great luck and honor. Kirins are mysterious but very kind spirits, you will almost never see an evil one and such a beast would have the ability to cause bad luck, a very nasty being.
The soul lantern is the most important thing in the world to a Rei. Soul Lanterns were created by Raidu to protect the Rei from death. When a Rei is fatally wounded or ill they will return to their lanterns as energy to heal and restore their bodies. Once the rei has fully healed they can emerge just as they were before. Rei can do this indefinitely as long as it is not too often lest the lantern become damaged and break which would cause the Rei to die completely never to return. Despite the lessened fear of dying Rei still do not like to return to their lanterns as the process can be uncomfortable and they cannot interact with others while inside their lanterns.
Lanterns will have a similar personality to their rei but are not their Rei. These lanterns are independent beings tasked with guarding the soul of their Rei. They can think for themselves and can talk. Magic keeps them hovering off the ground and at night they glow with the light of the soul inside them. Lanterns will guard and help their Rei whenever needed and most Rei consider their lanterns to be their best friend and secret keeper.
RP TIP: You do NOT have to RP your Rei's Lantern but is can be fun. It is suggested but not required that you try it, please. <333
