Frostling

Daughters of ice.

• Lifespan : 300 years
• Diet: Meat-heavy mortal fare
• Habitat: Arctic boreal forest and tundra
• Socioeconomic Status: Oppressed / Matriarchal

Frostlings are elemental female-assigned beings with blue and white skin and hair. They tend to be 6' tall, and their eyes are dark, black spheres. Some have insectoid wings made of frozen air between their arms and sides.

Every frostling can see temperature at will. They are immune to cold and weak to heat.

Frostlings have innate control over the cold, ice, and snow, but not every frostling has the same powers. They gain different powers as they grow older, so long as they live somewhere with a winter that drops below freezing at leastonce. If they live in a place that never gets that cold, they can replicate it by finding something to drop their temperature low enough on a week's worth of nights. Through their lives, they acquire five powers.

Powers that they might acquire include

• Freezing breath (age 50): their breath can be directed at anything to freeze it at a power of 8+ (it increases with power as they age at a rate of 1 point per 25 winters).
• Cooling touch (age 50): their touch can cool the body temperature of any living thing they touch at a power of 8+ (it increases with power as they age at a rate of 1 point per 25 winters).
• Chilled shroud (age 50): they can surround themselves with a shroud of frosty air, making themselves harder to touch (power 8+) or see (STH+1+) (it increases with power as they age at a rate of 1 point per 25 winters).
• Heartnumbing gaze (age 100): if they lock their gaze with someone else's eyes and hold it for 10 seconds, they roll WIL vs WIL to numb an emotion fo their choice in the heart of their target.
• Aura of frost (age 100): they can surround themselves with an aura of blue frost that acts as +5/+5 armor against any heat or fire attack.
• Snowwawlk (age 100): they can walk on snow as if it were solid ground.
• Hoary flesh (age 150): they cover their flesh in hoarfrost, giving themselves +5/+5 vs. heat or fire and +3/+3 vs. physical attacks.
• Polar animal friend (age 150): they can influence or interact with any animal native to polar regions with PRS+3.
• Snowdance (age 150): they can dance and control falling snow at a power of their ATH.
• Winter light (age 200): they can glow during the winter months, gaining bonuses to PRS, penalties to STH, and the power to freeze or stun anyone who stares at them for more than a round.
• Longnight's song (age 200): they can sing during the longest night of the year to influence the weather for the next six weeks.
• Midnight sun (age 200): they can, once per year, summon the sun at midnight, bringing a cold sun into the sky for an extra four to six hours for that day, providing no heat in the light of day.
• Blizzard form (age 250): they can take the form of a powerful blizzard once a year.

Most frostlings are from the southern parts of the region. They are an oppressed species in the colonies, facing great discrimination, but among their own, matriarchal, communal society. They have a love of fishing and hunting, and intricate dances. They have complex social rituals.

Shuddh

Flowery rain elementals.

• Lifespan : 300 years
• Diet: Vegetarian
• Habitat: Rainy areas with a distinct spring season
• Socioeconomic Status: Oppressed

Shuddhs are elemental, female-assigned beings with flowery features. They stand 5' tall, and they have colorful hair and eyes. When they are rained on, the flowers in their flesh blossom, covering them in colorful petals.

As elemental beings of the rain, shuddhs are empowered by it. The more of themselves it touches, the stronger they get. When they blossom afterward, it uses up some of the rain, but increases their PRS by 1-6, depending on how much of the rain they absorb. Once they blossom, if they dance in the rain, they can influence it.

If they pluck a blossom, that blossom can be turned into an umbrella (which gives anyone who uses it the power to absorb rain water themselves), a butterfly (which will fly into the clouds and increase the rain's fall), or a bucket (which absorbs the rain so that it is raining less).

Eventually, as they age, their blossoms begin to need more and more rain, until they absorb so much they become water. The last 10-30 years of their lives, they are simply a rain cloud with consciousness.

There are many shuddhs in the colonies or nearby areas. Those in the colonies are an oppressed species who either come there as refugees or slaves. They are often enslaved, but those who aren't are still discriminated against. Their home cultures survive in small ways, mostly their dances, music, and flower art.

Locals are embedded in the native nations.
