The Aftermath
Solo or RP Format
Counts as 5 RP growth Points
Solo word minimum is 750, RP post minimum is 7
After the Aishan trees had suddenly and furiously bloomed, pollen had started to fall from the sky in never before seen quantities. The sun seemed choked by its presence and the breeze currents seemed to carry it across all of Tendaji.
Curiously enough, the impact of the pollen could be seen in earthlings...
Random earthlings across Tendaji saw cracks and fissures in their skin, shedding as if they had a sunburn. New skin tones shone through from underneath. Almost as if by magic new eye colors and crystal colors emerged with a night's rest. Earthlings changed overnight without regard to their family lineage. Brothers and sisters now sported new colors; mothers and daughters that once looked like spitting images captured the eyes of many with their sudden differences.
What could be made of these changes? The world was in upset, some overjoyed and thrilled at the new colors, others in despair as their self views shifted beneath their feet.
[ Earthlings (and those with earthling blood) have started to suddenly change colors! What does your character make of the changes? Did they change too, or do they just witness the new looks of someone close? Are they fascinated in this sudden new change, or are they in the throws of woe? Let us know how your character handles the change in the world! ]
Color Change Instructions
|| Either at the very beginning of the WE or at the very end, the owner(s) should create a post dedicated to the new colors chosen if they choose to update their palette.
|| Owners do not have to change all of the character's colors, they can opt to change just one, a few, or all.
|| Owners should specifically post which new swatch they would like (no CC, this event is for owners who specifically want new colors for their characters).
|| Characters can only choose new swatches in the race that is already established. (A hybrid with fire skin can ONLY choose fire skin, just a new shade. A hybrid with leaf crystals can ONLY choose leaf crystals, etc.)
|| Aishan hybrids that have earthling colored skin can choose to update their skin tone and the staff will decide whether their fade needs to be updated as well (if applicable). We will pick the fade color best suited to the character, owners only have to pick the base skin tone.
|| ONLY earthling colors can be updated. Aishan and Kahikinan colors are not affected by this event.
|| All updates will be made during the next growth of the character!
|| Characters can update their swatches individually of their families (colors chosen will not affect any other character in the shop).
|| Any breeding moving forward will use these new colors (consider these new swatches new genetics).
|| If you have any questions feel free to reach out to the mule, Ely, or Kana and we can help with anything individual that hasn't been addressed here!

Corcus was still in Yael, his curiosity on his old homeland a fascinating experience he couldn't get past. Sure, many of the Yaeli looked at him as a monster, a beast even, but that didn't stop him from still exploring and learning what he could.
He didn't follow the ways of his Yaeli mother, being bloomed from Aisha meant he favored her ways over the twin gods of Yael, but that didn't mean he didn't try and learn about the temple. If only they were willing to let him inside.
Alas, he found himself yet again wandering through the woods, a loner as he always had been. Maybe he would see if he could visit the Elaria over in Elzira, though he had heard they weren't huge fans of hybrids. But still, they had to have a few that were open to meeting him, especially those who seemed to have their own hybrid children. He had heard rumors about Yaeli and Elaria kids wandering about, and was very curious to see if they looked just like him or maybe had a different set of traits.
As he wandered closer through the trees of the western forest, a sudden fog seemed to roll in. It was different than the morning fogs, and filled his lungs with a heavy weight. His nose itched, and more than once he had to cover his face to help mitigate the effects. It almost felt like the sandstorms of Oba, though the fog was soft and soothing almost. It did help him track creatures for a hunt, as it left a fine yellow dust on the ground that many of the creatures couldn't avoid.
After a few days, the pollen had become heavy enough Crocus had to take a break near a lake, wetting the fabric from his headband and using it to wipe around his face and nose. He decided it didn't make sense to keep traveling, instead setting up a simple camp to wait out whatever this strange phenomena was. Occasionally, he caught sight of other creatures wandering toward the water, studying them to learn about which ones might be worthy to hunt, and maybe even one to take as a mount. Teiluj had some interesting creatures that he agreed wouldn't hurt to have wander about with him.
A few days later, a nice cool breeze seemed to roll in from the west, and the dusty cloud was blown away. It left a golden pollen in it's wake, and eventually Crocus realized it must be some sort of flowering result of one of the other trees. If they were anything like Aisha, of course they would be able to produce such an effect at such a magnitude. It was impressive, and once again he found himself in awe at the great mothers that shaded the land with their protective canopy.
One morning, as he began to wash at the water, he realized his skin was beginning to crack. It was like a sunburn, something he himself was not familiar with but had seen with others. What was strange was that this effect happened across his entire body, even the places where he was covered up. He brushed and rubbed his hands over his face, the skin peeling away to reveal a darker shade than what he was familiar with. Looking into the water, he looked like a lopsided creature, his skin tones almost stitched together from the strange peeling. A bit freaked out, he began to wash his skin a bit harder, getting most of it off to reveal a darker tone all around. What had happened?
By no, Crocus was uncertain if this was some ill effect of Yael, or maybe the pollen itself. Either way, he spent the next week peeling off his skin to reveal more of the coloring in a fascinating effect. He had already been quite dark, a monster of the forest as some of the Yaeli locals screamed at him, but now he was even darker. Nothing else had changed, thankfully, but still it was a bit unnerving for the hybrid. Then again, maybe it would be something he could take advantage of, as he hunted and played boogyman for those who decided to cross him.
His entire trip was a bit stunted, and he wondered if he should still go to see Elzira. Maybe the mystic there could answer his questions, if they were familiar with such things. Either way, he was determined to figure it out, at least to make sure he wasn't dying.
