Ptoneri
Pon-terry
Also Known As: Medium or Star Eaters
Region of Origin: Letha
Information:
A strange race that emerged not too long ago after the creation of Letha. They were thought to be a race that branched off from the Fire Sprites, due to their ability to control, but in reality this is not so. They are not born with the power over fire, or any element in fact. Ptoneris are born with no powers at all. Although when they reach the age of twelve the young Ptoneris are bound to with a roving spirit in the shape of a falling star. Upon meeting their spirit the young Ptoneri must swallow the spirit, offering up their young hearts as their part of the deal. In return the spirit grants the young Ptoneri the ability to shape shift into a demonic animal. The spirit also takes a physical form as well. This form may be anything from a live animal, such as a mouse, or an inanimate object such as fire. The spirit never appears as anything larger than a common house cat. The bond that forms between spirit and Ptoneri is painful to form, but is nearly unbreakable. Only the strongest magic may separate the two halves, and even if the separation is carried out most Ptoneri and their partners do not survive. The most basic way to kill a Ptoneri is to kill the physically bound spirit that holds the heart and powers of the Ptoneri.
Appearance:
When Ptoneri are first born the hair is of purest silver. Though, once bounded Ptoneri to their spirit the hair changes from silver to the color of the demonic animal. (i.e. If the Ptoneri can change into a demonic wolf with red fur their hair is same color.) Their eyes may vary, but the pupil and the cornea are always the same color.
Average Height: Varies according to spirit absorbed
Fire - Males: 5'8'' Females: 5'4''
Water - Males: 5'4'' Females: 5'8''
Earth - Males: 4'8'' Females: 4'4''
Wind - Males: 5'2'' Females: 5'2''
Light - Males: 6'0'' Females: 5'9''
Dark - Males: 6'2'' Females: 6'1''
Average Weight: Varies according to spirit absorbed
Lifespan: 12 – 495 years YRS
But many die as young as 264 years due to the immense stress their bodies are put under in order to support two souls.
Magic:
Varies according to spirit absorbed
The spirits are as follows:
Red star: Fire
Green star: Earth
Yellow star (rare): Light
Blue star: Water
Black star (rare): Darkness
White star: Wind
History:
The Ptoneri were once seen as a sign of good luck. As a result the race enjoyed many privileges among the towns. However, soon after the March Massacre the people began to turn against the Ptoneri. Their kind were seen as demons and outsiders because of their rituals. Due to the bigotry the race suffered many went into hiding and living underground. However some still venture out into the open, but they either possess jobs where strangeness is the norm, or they retreat back underground within a matter of days.
