OVERVIEW AND HISTORY

WHAT IS A FLOATSEA?

Floatseas [floht-sees] are amphibious, anthropomorphic creatures that resemble fluffy dragons with features of aquatic animals. They’re a unique and very social species that are centered around close-knit communities. However, because of their differences in what they view as fulfilling lifestyles, they’ve split into three different social structures: Civil, Sea Keeper, and Star Seeker.

HOW WERE THEY CREATED?

he creator made the species in high school and started off as being called Terseas [tair-sees]. They looked very similar now as they did before, but have been improved over the years. They were originally created as pets and feral creatures that lived amongst humans. City Terseas were vibrantly colored, had big neck fluff, and were about the size of a house cat. Feral Terseas had muted colors to blend into their environment, had no neck fluff that revealed their gills, and had hooves and claws that helped them climb mountains and safely jump from cliff to cliff.

SOUL MANIFESTATION AND POWER

MANIFESTATION

Soul abilities manifests in a Floatsea around the age of 8-10. Some are late bloomers, however. Each being has its own manifestation of color and ability. Some may have tools or weapons, others may acquire healing or mind control. Occasionally some soul abilities will be considered unsavory, however they are not necessarily looked down upon. All abilities are used in positive manners in one way or another. Many Floatseas will take this as a coming of age and celebrate accordingly. Festivities are commonly held for this milestone.

CIVIL SOUL USEAGE

Common Floats use their abilities for farming, working, etc.
Royal Floats rarely ever use their abilities since they see no use in doing so. They usually see it as barbaric and useless.
The royal guard is comprised of only soul weapon users. They are typically hired, but most are an inherited position, being put there by family or other relatives.

SEA KEEPER SOUL USEAGE

Sea Keepers use their abilities to work, play, and do just about everything. They love the idea of using their abilities in day to day life. Most children will be celebrated when they reach the 'Soul Awakening' as they call it.

LANGUAGE AND ALPHABET

Common Float

Common Float is the primary language on Pazepay. Most, if not all, Floatseas are taught Common Float at an early age. Children write in a different format than adults, to make it more easily understandable.
As well as that, Common Float is written with claw stokes by the writer. Their 4 claws make up characters and translate to sounds for speech. Writing utensils are used, but it is more common to see claw writing directly.
