There are three kinds of people, races, sort of, but they can intermarry quite easily and do so sometimes. They are the Men, the Nnanwé, and the Yesaré.


The Yesaré have the most to do with the cobha of Ccwiicc. They are the strongest in it, and most affected by it. However, this is not as altogether 'good' a thing as you might imagine. They are strong – but they are also strongly affected.

They get into habits very easily – individually, and as a culture – and this is impeding in a lot of cases. Another interesting way they are affected by the cobha is that they – * tries to think of the right words * – they do not grow up unless they have to. * cocks head * Like, that is sort of the way it is with us humans – if someone is not expected to be mature, and is not given responsibility, he will not be as mature, even if he grows up physically. And, on the other hand, if someone is given responsibility at a very young age, and expected to act maturely, they will grow up faster than someone in normal circumstances, usually.

But with Yesaré it is so to a much greater degree. They are very impressionable, you could say. They live longer than normal humans do, sometimes three hundred years or more, but depending on what their life was like and what was expected of them, they could be as childlike at a hundred as at sixteen. They would not be mentally retarded, but they would be very fun-loving and easygoing and happy go lucky and innocent and simple and petty, like children are.


The Nnanwé are like the Yesaré, but to a lesser degree – they are rather like a step in between the Men and the Yesaré. However, they are also weaker than both of them in a way. Because of how the Nnanwé and the Yesaré originated, you could say that the Nnanwé are a not so well done version of the Yesaré. They have a lot of problems that are rather like phobias, except more varied than just fear, and to greater degrees sometimes – like mental illness or madness, under certain stimuli.


The Men are rather like the humans of earth – they can strengthen themselves in the cobhaic power, and be like a Nnanwé in strength, or even like a Yesaré if they are gifted. But if they do not do this, the cobha does not affect them very much. It is subtle, and some cultures don't even realize it exists. However, it comes out some in ways, always, even when they don't know; for instance, when riding animals they very rarely give verbal or physical direction – they simply make the creature understand what they want without hardly realizing it.

This sounds really really cool. I like how subtle your cobha is even in the people groups that it affects more heavily.

What is this "strength" that the Yesaré have sometimes, and that the normal Humans can achieve? Or is that in another thread? Are there any physical differences in the three groups? What are the origins of the other two groups?

I like how each of your races is unique and affected by the cobha in interesting ways. What do they look like?

Thankyou. * smiles *

The cobhaic strength...sorry that wasn't clear. I'm not used to talking to other people about this, and I forget what they would know and what they wouldn't. I explained in the other thread, about cobha.

Eh...well, the Men and the Nnanwé look pretty much the same. But as I'll explain later inn this post...the Yesaré are different sometimes.

The origins of the three peoples is explained in the thread on history – very briefly. Trunx doesn't like history. But I will go into it in more depth in another thread. * smiles *

Some of the Yesaré are men, some are dragons, some are giant sea octopus. Some are other things, in smatterings in various places (like inland merpeople in one area), but the main ones are the three first groups. Some wanted to be people, so they could interact with Men – some wanted to be dragons so they would be stronger than Men – and some wanted to be octopus so they would have no contact with men.

Since the Nnanwé are in between the Yesaré and men, do they sometimes have animal forms, also?

You're welcome. =D



That's okay, I do it too, like everyone else on here does at least sometimes.


Right, I get it now.



Okay.

Okay cool.



That's cool...so I'm getting the idea they can (or at least some could) choose their form? Do they then have to stay in that form? Is it a gradual change, or like shapeshifting or something else?

The only time they could choose was when they were first carnating themselves and making bodies for themselves to inhabit. From then on, they were stuck that way, the same as men and any other mortal beast. There are shapeshifters though...Yesaré shapeshifters...one of the more obscure forms I mentioned...but they are – well, weird. Not exactly your typical shapeshifters. And in reality, they have a bodily form that is mostly human looking.

Okay, that is sort of what I thought...I think.
