SocialTypically, Bloomies are social creatures that tend to prefer the company of others rather than being alone. They are tame in nature but can prove difficult to handle if wild.
Though not impossible to see lone or stray Bloomies, most simply prefer the company of humans or other beings as they often like showing loyalty to their chosen companions as well as feel a sense of security for themselves. If some are found to be surrounded by many companions, there will always be one to which they will be most loyal in the end. This however, does not stop them from showing loyalty to more than one at once. Wild vs TamedBloomies are usually docile creatures, whether they are tamed or wild. But the characteristics differ from one another in some aspects.
Wild Bloomies are a little more cautious than others and tend to stay away from humans or any other species that direct their interest towards them, they often form packs with their own kind as a way to increase their survival and this also eases them to hunt larger prey when food is scarce. They will very rarely be seen mingling with other species if they are part of a large pack. This doesn't mean they are not tameable, but simply less approachable as they tend to stick to their pack very closely. If one abandons their pack, they will not be accepted back and could be seen getting chased out as a way to exile them. Since they are social creatures, they would need to either find a new pack in this situation or find a place amongst society which revolves around a more tamed life. One could also become a Renegade but chances of survival are a lot harder for those who take this path. Tamed Bloomies are often friendlier and very loyal. Their pack mentality here is set much differently than a wild Bloomie; they welcome the presence of multiple species as their temperament is a lot more mellow and accepting. Unlike in a wild pack, they don't need to be surrounded by pack members all the time and will rather prefer the presence of the one(s) that they are most loyal to. Their often charming nature makes them easy to approach and so their allure makes other species less likely attack or disturb them. This doesn't always work on top predators, but it can sometimes tip their instincts to avert aggression towards them and even sometimes induce the other party to care for them momentarily. This is often more applicable to lone/stray/renegade Bloomies and works less the more numerous they are. AlignmentThere are two alignments to choose from, under which both have a deity to follow under.
The Amber Alignment worship the Deity Shaa, said to be a gentle God that breathes life all around it. It is a vigorous and ambitious Deity. Shaa boasts luck, fairness, happiness, creation, grace, discipline and tranquility. The Spirit Alignment worship the Deity Rin, said to be a sly God that lead the misguided when times are hard. It is a savvy and dominant Deity. Rin boasts fate, mischief, liberation, leadership, playfulness, turmoil and tenacity. CompanionshipCompanions are like pact-partners and this companionship is born from loyalty and dedication to stay by one's side to protect them, more than any other. Bloomies most often chose a companion that is not of their species, as the spiritual connection with them is a lot different and gives them a lot more benefits.
A Bloomie can only have one Companion at a time and even if that companion is magic-less, a Bloomie will inherit their natural energy or abilities and convert it into a skill. For example, having a deer as a companion would benefit an increase in their jumping height or even a keen sense of alertness. Abilities of the sort is natural to Bloomies and they always reflect the actual nature of the companion itself. In return, their counterpart benefit the Bloomie's blessing, which grants them luck, health and slowing of the aging process. That Blessing disappears if the companionship is broken or if the Bloomie dies. In cases where Bloomies do chose a companion that is another Bloomie, it will often resemble a romantic partnership(where the romance is not mandatory), they would become inseparable and it can impact their mood and health if separated for too long. In cases like these, they are simply loyalty-bound. However, because they are the same species, they do not gain any special skills but instead see an increase in their own magical abilities. It is in their nature to be devoted and extremely loyal and protecting to those they care for, so the desire to form a pact is strong in most, but it is not uncommon to see Bloomies that have yet to find a companion. You are free to chose which companion(s) your Bloomie has and free to change them as you wish. You are also free to choose whichever natural ability your Bloomie would be most fitting with (ex: physical strength attributes, smartness, better swimming, etc.) You can simply keep this lore in mind when designing or working on your Bloomie's story and/or artworks! RomanceBloomies may have relationships, whether friendly or romantic.
They tend to choose one mate for life and so polyamorous cases or even multiple temporary partners, while not impossible, are rather a rare sight. Platonic relationships are also possible, whereas some simply don't seek any romance whatsoever but can still seek a caring or nurturing kind of relationship based on friendship or family. Once partnered for life, Bloomies become practically inseparable and may show signs of depression, anxiousness, stress and anger if forcefully kept apart from one another for too long. *They can not pair romantically with humans or other species (although they may show signs of deeply loving/caring, they can not be portrayed as romantically or sexually involved. *No pups can be collected/created from drawing them through pregnancy/hatching eggs, or anything of the sort. There are no prompts or breeding guides that will let you procure some this way as this group is not an ARPG focus!
Anthropomorphic BloomiesHumans have discovered that while subjected to large amounts of Alterite, Bloomies who were originally feral, could become Anthropomorphic. They saw an increase in intelligence, strength and dexterity after the alteration. Quite like a shape-shifting ability, Bloomies could keep this form up for a certain amount of time before returning to their feral state and even later return to it if deemed necessary to enter the form. Bloomies even learned to communicate with humans and may only do so in this form. It was also recorded that in this state, Bloomies are extremely sensitive to emotions and may even, in some cases, drastically change their natural behavior or temperament because of the alteration.
However, some have pushed too far and too much Alterite resulted in some being incapable of returning to their original feral form and so are permanently stuck in their anthro form. While even wild Bloomies may find themselves subjected to these changes if they gather enough Alterite essence, some may despise the change entirely, while others embrace it fully. This applies even to tamed Bloomies, which resulted in some abandoning their companions because of the greed for power they held. The more Alterite they can absorb, the stronger one gets, so while humans can not absorb this material, they offer it (or forced it) to Bloomies, who can easily grow in power with them. Over time, Humans became weary of their capabilities as they grew in numbers and many started to avoid anthropomorphic Bloomies altogether, which forced the creatures to build their own social groups and eventually this divided them. While some still today, decide to remain together with humans, most made their way away from human society to start their own community. *Anthro Bloomies can not pair romantically or sexually with feral Bloomies or humans. |
