Erlithmanil

Beyonder

~3.8 million years
Status
Sealed, Has a potential Host

Lunil is the element of all fauna, one among ten Erlithmanil. He is a revered element across the Continent Beyond but his Kaithur are one of the most widespread. Lunil finds joy in crafting new, chimeric organisms and especially loves bringing cryptids and legends to life! His counterpart is Fliral of flora and the two of them get along the best out of all of the elements! Like all other Erlithmanil, Lunil has five aspects which express his element and abilities. These aspects are Maralith, Riptalis, Iliog, Lishil and Besida. Maralith is the aspect of mammals, Riptalis is the aspect of reptiles including dragons, Iliog is the aspect of amphibians, Lishil is the aspect of fish and Besida is the aspect of birds. Familiar Like the rest of the Erlithmanil. Lunil forged a bond between himself and an Elemental Familiar after his physical body was destroyed during the Downfall of the Erlithmanil. This familiar, Kiba the Tanuki, roams Emynea seeking out a viable host body for his master. Much like Lunil, Kiba is boisterous and comical, always trying to put a smile on his allies faces. Yet he also has a hot temper, becoming uncontrollable and viscious when provoked. But Lunil sees this as part of his charm, ever amused by the adventures of his familiar! Kiba has found Lunil a potential host but the road to becoming one is long for Cuntur who is still in training. Kiba Character \| Nov 18, 2024

Appearance

Out of all of the Erlithmanil, Lunil has one of the most variable appearances. He is almost constantly taking on a mix of different animal features, rarely showing his human face. When he does, he takes on features of different beyonders, red or pink hair and eyes and pointy ears. Even in beastial forms, his fur, scales and such are usually some shade of red or pink, his elemental colors. Whatever form he takes, Lunil is usually tall, imposing, bulky and muscular. The Continent Beyond is among his favorite lands but he might also take on attributes of inhabitants of the Lost Isles.

Abilities

most of Lunil is the source of all five of his aspects—he is fauna itself embodied. He can freely manipulate any of his aspects without limitation and is also able to temporarily cut off a beast caster from accessing his element, temporarily disabling their innate connection. However, Lunil cannot permanently disconnect a caster and it takes concentration to maintain. He also retains the ability to create new beast casters, temporary or otherwise. As the source of his element, he can freely come and go from her Elemental Planes and exert control over them. He can even become aware of anything occurring in these planes when shifting his awareness to them. However, most of these abilities are limited by whether or not he has a host body. Without a physical body, all of her activity is limited to her planes and her separate aspects. Most of Lunil's abilities revolve around transforming into, taking on qualities of and exerting control over different animals.

Planes

Each of Lunil's aspects have their own elemental plane. These planes overlay and exist parallel to the physical world, connecting anywhere and everywhere an aspect occurs. For some planes, this is static while others constantly ebb and flow as the aspect occurs and moves. For living aspects like Lunil, each organism in the physical world has a mirror or a shadow within their plane and each can act as a portal in and out for those capable of planar travel. Some animals are known to live only within these planes, home to legendary beasts from other eras! Riptalis' Plane in particular is home to strange large reptiles, once long extinct. And for many of Lunil's planes, these spaces merge with or overlap with Fliral's, providing inhabitants with all that they need! Unlike most other Erlithmanil, Neither Lunil or Fliral have mental aspects.

Personality

Lunil himself is wild, boisterous and uninhibited. He is very rough around the edges, preferring to avoid human society and having a distaste for beaurocracy, settlements and traditions. While he can be severe and unflinching in the face of death, Lunil can also be jovial, sympathetic, reliable and amicable to those who earn his respect. Lunil also plays a much more active role in the lives of his Aethid children compared to other Erlithmanil, having an active relationship with them when he is has a host. He loves his precious beasts and enjoys granting humans attributes of them. Yet he has drawn a strict line between animals and humans, very few outside of his own family capable of transforming fully into a beastial form. He happily grants humans a handful of features of a given animal but is strictly opposed to allowing humans to become animals.

Family

Like the other members of the Erlithmanil, Lunil has a romantic relationship with his counterpart, Fliral. Yet unlike the rest, their relationship is by far the most stable and harmonious union. They compliment and depend on each other, Lunil always brightening her day while she is his tranquility amid any storm. While they will pull in or see other people, their ultimate loyalty has always been to each other and they have remained married throughout the millenia unfalteringly. Most commonly, Dalyeric is the third member of their throuple! In fact, these three bore several children together including Banalkar the Ecosphere, Zuvaath the Invertebrate and Malrot the Microscopic. Lunil is especially close with his oldest child, Banalkar, who embodies ecosystems, their balance and the hunt.
