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.

*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]]

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 different forms of bodily materials, and of which they were mostly made(but not entirely). These materials are: Tears, Blood, Breath, Bone, Flesh, and Soul.

Supine

The Supine caste is the dark mirror of the Moonsilver caste, hiding their tear-stained faces behind masks and disguises. Supine are very often used for espionage purposes by the deathlords, due to this predisposition to disguise.
Caste Attributes: Dexterity Appearance Wits

Sanguine

The Sanguine caste, Jade's dark cousin, is not only the social face of the Somnials, but also the ones with blood on their hands. Due to being slightly more in tune with life, they tend to be the ones sent off to destroy it.
Caste Attributes: Stamina Charisma Wits

Osteoric

Where the Starmetal caste manipulates from the backround, the Osteoric caste tries to hold the others together, like the bones of a skeleton. They tend towards the dead rather than the living.
Caste Attributes: Dexterity Manipulation Intelligence

Pneumatic

The Pneumatic are, oddly enough, the Soulsteel castes reflection, breathing death in and out, sometimes at the same time. The Pneumatic are the executioners, who will go after anyone disobeying the laws of the dead.
Caste Attributes: Stamina Manipulation Perception


Carnic

Those grafted from living flesh are known as Carnics, and they stand opposite the Alchemical Orichalcum Caste. In this way, they tend to be the outright leaders of the Somnials, as well as the ones most known to those who know of the Sominals.
Caste Attributes: Strength Charisma Intelligence

Psychic

In an odd twist, the Somnials made from souls are not the new Soulsteel caste, but rather the new Adamant. As souls hide inside their bodies, guiding and steering them, so too does the Psychic caste to the Somnialsl.
Caste Attributes: Strength Appearance Perception

Comments

  • ATTENTION. Completely new castes now. The only names I'm unsure on are Carnic and Psychic. Psychic sounds iffy at best, and Carnic sounds wrong. Most of these came from latin/greek root words with "ic" on the back. I was thinking of using somehting like "Sarxic" instead of Carnic, but I'm not sure. Psychic I actually took from Psyche and said "Oh, so THAT'S where the word comes from". So... feel free to suggest stuff. ^^;
