Castes

The Somnial exalted are unlike their Alchemical cousins, in that they are not made from the magical materials. Instead, they draw their castes from the humors of the body, and this fluid is the one that was drained into their body the most when the Construct's body was made. This tends to make Somnials to be very emotional beings, or at least seem to be more so, as the balance of humors they are used to is shifted and unbalanced.

Supine

Usually chalked up to be the most emotional of the castes, the Supine seem to be the most upset in their position. However, they tend to use disguises in order to hide themselves from their own fate, and in doing so mirror their Moonsilver bases.

Phlegmatic

The Phlegmatic are the Starmetal Caste's dark cousin, and in that way are the planners and guides of the Somnials. At the same time, the Phlegmatic are thinkers, not doers, and are thought to be lazy and self-seeking.

Caste Attributes: Dexterity Manipulation Intelligence

Melancholic

The Melancholic are the executioners of the Somnials, and are the closest to the energy of the underworld, coming from the plans of the Soulsteel Alchemicals. These Somnials are known to be stoic and unkind, but at the same time are held to have high standards and are said to be high strung.

Sanguine

The Sanguine are known for being the social face of the Somnials, should they need to be, and in this way they are like the Jade Locusts. They seem personable enough, but also have tendencies to be impulsive and arrogant, and always willing to do what they need to for their own needs.

Choleric

The Choleric Caste is one that seems a perfect mirror to the Orichalcum caste. They are the leaders, the ambitious, the dominant. Despite these normally-positive traits, the Choleric are known for being being obsessive in their dominance.

Caste Attributes: Strength Charisma Intelligence

Endorphic

A caste that keeps itself in secret, they tend to become spies or secret enforcers of a Death Lord's rule- or more rarely, the Neverborn themselves- and so reflect their Adamant kin. The Endorphic tend towards seeking their own pleasures, but try to be secretive in doing so.

Comments

• I'm thinking that the Endorphic Caste should have a different name, but I have no clue what what. Help? ^^; - Kuiper
  • I'm also unsure about how to write up all of these. Should I just take directly from the humors, or should these castes be closer to their mirrors than that? - Kuiper

• Okay, tried writing some fluff for the castes. I switched Phlegmatic and Melancholic around, and I think it works out better that way. Also added in what their castes mirrors are outright- thought it might be easier that way. Also, I added more flavor text for the castes and alluded to the creation process. I'm still not sure as to the Endorphic Caste's name, but I have absolutely no clue. Help? Please? *Puppy dog eyes* - Kuiper
