[hider=Apperance][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/23/a9/f0/23a9f0aecf834def4fd8a41e31a51577.jpg[/img][/hider] [b]Characteristics[/b] Salena is a person that tends to be relaxed, peaceful, quiet, and easy-going. They are sympathetic and care about others, yet try to hide their emotions. She also is good at generalizing ideas or problems to the world and making compromises with others. She tries to approach everyone with good intentions and tends to stay neautral to situations or problems arise. [b]Background[/b] From a young age, Salena was praised for her beauty and unique features amongst Cambions. She was raised in a strict home where all of the hours of the day were spent studying art, music, dance, and literature. Later on, she learned to use magic after completing her training in the Temple of Mireyela at the age of 42. Her training thought her all about the magics that Cambions would easily use; nature-based magic. She lived happily for 15 more years until she was promised to a young man. Unhappy with this, Salena tried to convince her parents to cancel the wedding, but they refused and forced her into it. A week into her marriage her husband began to abuse her. It took her ten years to plan a concrete plan to escape and leave her life behind. Now she roams the forest and keeps away from any stream with white flowers on it. She has been wondering the forest for years now, making her home out of nature and using her magic to fend off anyone who gets too close to her and goes by the name of Zara. [/hider] [hider=Race ] [b]Name[/b] Cambion (half-demon, horned ones, devil children) [b]Apperance[/b] Appearance: The first thing that someone notices of a Cambion is the horns and the skin. Cambion have horns growing out of their heads, a trait inherited from their ancestors. Horns can vary from family to family. Some are long and twist up; others twist down. A few Cambions have small horns, but that seems to be rarer and concentrated in certain families that have been breeding with humans. Skin tones within the Cambion race can also vary, but the most common colors are red, purple, blue, orange and grey(with lots of hues in between). Cambions also have tails that are as varied as the horns. All of these extra digits are the same color as the Cambion's skin color. Eye colors, on the other hand, can be even more colorful than their skin. The most common are red, purple, blue, green, black, and white. Most of the population have no irises, all of their eyes are filled in with the color of their eyes. Cambions can live longs lives, the oldest reaching 200 years old.

Cambions are very creative creatures. They dwell in a lot of arts; music, dancing, visual art, literature. They have learned from the humans they have seen pass around their city. They are very friendly creatures that crave social interactions with themselves and with other races. They often try to trade with other known cities inside of the forest they call their home. Cambions are very colorful creatures that appreciate color and the beauty of nature. They are often in tune with nature and the magic in the air. Magic is a large part of their culture, as it is as natural for them as breathing. [b]Brief History[/b] Although their looks make them seem like half-demons, Cambions are the children of a goddess called Mireyela. She is the goddess of creativity and natural magic. She created the Cambion by taking the heart of a succubus and the heart of a human who had fallen in love and mixed the two races as an act of love and mercy after they were killed by cruel humans. Since then, Cambions have populated a small part of the forest, staying together in one city for their protection. Not many of them set out to the world, but those who do are gifted the ability to control nature around them for a limited time. It is something only the priests can give.

Inside, there is a large pool of water with an island in the middle, where the city of Aki'adh is located. Aki'adh has a large statue of the goddess Mireyela in the middle that overlooks the whole island, and it serves as the temple for her as well. The Temple is surrounded by the many buildings and homes of the Cambions. Since the population of this race has been slowly increasing so, they have started to build on the cavern walls to accommodate [hider=Aki'adh][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/49/81/5c/49815c87e45d8497f20d4810883e0345.jpg[/img][/hider] [b]Inhabitants[/b] Those who inhabit the city of Aki'adh are the majority Cambions who had grown up and lived all their lives within the walls of the city and the caverns. Not many of them travel outside, but they do welcome many travelers into the city to learn about the outside. [b]Tokens[/b] To reach the city of Aki'adh a person just have to follow a river or stream that carries white flowers. They will lead to the mouth of a very large cavern with two statues of Mireyela looking down at them. Past them, the river continues into the cavern. The river is the only way to reach the city safely. [b]Brief History[/b] Aki'adh was settled by the first children of Mireyela. With her help, they were able to make such a beautiful and colorful city where Cambions could be safe and happy. They have had a bad reputation with certain humans who believe that Cambions are born from demons and do not believe the claims that they were created by the goddess Mireyela. The city is ruled by the Queen and the King, where they both rule as equals and do their best to protect their home. [/hider]
