Selenas
Information
The Selenas are divided into four clans; the Nokoni clan, the Terran clan, the Ula clan, and the Kiora clan. The three pure clans, Nokoni, Terran, and Ula have a truce. Kiora is considered unclean and beneath the others. Selenas are a very proud race and a very ancient one. They consider other species to be lowly.
Selenas are moon worshippers, and completely dependant on the moon for their life and power. Selenas absorb the moon's energy to feed their powers and their lifeforce. Without it they would be not only be powerless but they would also die. It is the source of their immortality.
Selenas sexually mature at around five years in age and typically become wonderers at this age. Males are chased from their birth pack by their fathers and females leave when they are ready to mate. Selenas mate for life but will seek a new mate should one or the other die. Females will only give birth every five years or so because they raise their young into adulthood.
Selenas have loose family ties but are connected very strongly to their beliefs and to their clans as well as their mates. Packs usually only consist of a mated pair and the pups they are currently raising, occasionally females from the previous litter remain a year or two to learn from their mothers.
Clans gather twice a year and once a year the three clans meet. Kiora is shunned as well as any rogues. They are often chased and even sometimes killed when they are found alone.
Appearance
Selenas are large wolves with both males and females commonly reaching a full four feet in height though they will never be smaller than two and a half feet tall. Females are slender, built for running, while the males are built for fighting. Because of their connection to the moon Selenas can have any element except fire. Their colors can be any shade of white, blue, black, silver, or grey. They have markings that reveal their elemental powers which may be small or cover their entire bodies. Selenas may have wings or horns regardless of their element but wings will always be feathered and horns never longer than ten inches.
Credits
The original Selenas were created by me in another account and both were deleted, I have improved and drammatically changed the once boring race. So credits go to me ^.^
Average Height
Males - 3ft - 4ft
Females - 2.5ft - 4ft
Average Weight
Males - 150lbs - 300lbs.
Females - 75lbs - 200lbs.
Lifespan
Immortal but can catch diseases, be killed from fights, from lack of moonlight for 30 days or more, or any other number of things.
History
The Selenas are divided between four clans and while three of them are on friendly grounds it was not always so. There was fueding and battles for years between all of the clans. However, the Nokoni, Terran, and Ula clans formed a tenuous truce over their hatred of the Kiora clan which they believe to be a disgrace to the Selenas and condemn almost as readily as they condemn demons. Since they are so loosely connected, they do not have recorded history and tell stories to keep trail of past events.
Magics
The Selenas have a strong connection to the moon and to the night so they can have any magic so long as it is not fire or anything else to do with the sun. Light does not count since the moon reflects light as well. They rely completely on the moon to live and to use their powers and without it they are powerless. During the day, Selenas are at their weakest and must rely solely on their strength, speed, and brains to survive.
Beliefs
The Selenas are all told the legends of where they came from. This is where they all draw their varying beliefs or non-beliefs.
Long before wolves ruled the lands as they do now, the sun, moon and stars used to come down and play on the earth. One day the moon was playing in her favorite form, a wolf. She had done so many times and feared nothing for she believed herself to be safe. On the same day a particularly devilish demon by the name of Morkai was roaming the forests when he came across the beautiful wolfess. Morkai raped her, wishing to destroy such innocent beauty but Selene was not so weak. She became pregnant and gave birth to four pups; Nokoni, Terran, Ula, and Kiora. As punishment she made it so they would always depend upon her to survive and because they were part demon they were immortal and bound to the earth forever while Selene returned to the sky and never came down again.
Each clan has their own stories about the fall of Kiora and the truce between Nokoni, Terran, and Ula. The one thing that stays the same is that they are enemies. The many battles and breaches in the truce are lost in the truth and lies of many stories told to pups by their parents.
