The Abellio

[ARTEMIS!]

So, as Revvy and Easty suggested, I'd love to do something like what we did with the Gaians, with the Abellio. They're a small, small species of wolves...

Name/Plural: Abellio / Abellios
Size: 3-7 inches tall, 1-5 lbs
Lifespan: 50+
Pelt: Short, fuzzy fur. Usually soft, pale colours, and natural colours. They have small translucent wings which grow from behind their eears.
Eyes: Dark, cool colours
Strengths: Speed, wisdom

The Abellios are probably the smallest species of wolf in WonderWhy. A young Abellio does not have the ability to fly, but through education and growth, they begin to grow small translucent wings. These wings grow with age, and the more knowledge an abellio has gained, the bigger and stronger these wings are. They beat at such a speed that the average wolf cannot see them, unless they are standing still. This allows them to hover. Their saliva has a slow acting sedative. This is one of their few defenses, besides their speed, and they can use it to bring down small prey. On an average sized wolf, it merely makes the point of contact tingly. They usually keep to their own species, in small colonies that live in the branches of tall trees, but occasionally an Abellio will take on a wolf as their 'apprentice', following them and acting as almost like a guardian. Due to their long life spans, they can have several of these wolf apprentices, and they gain much wisdom. Education is highly regarded in the eyes of the abellio, and they are highly versed in the lore of the great spirit and tales of the world. They can sometimes be seen as an annoyance, as they never fully explain what they mean in their advice. They give advice in riddles, letting their apprentice come to conclusions on his/her own terms. They seem to flit about though, and because they are so vulnerable, are extremely hard to catch because of their natural agility and speed. They are omnivorous, and will eat many small insects and rodents as well as berries.

And Kit actually came up with a plant that hovers/drifts which I would love for them to live on.

Since they're so small, I don't think we'd want the site being over run by them. xD I kinda would want to make them Limited Edition, if Spick is okay with this, and like the Gaians are the LEs of Cael, these guys the LEs of Sennyo/Keiyou? They're similar, yet different, sort of.

Anyways, I would love to have tryouts for them, with a preconceived plot and character adoption thing like we did with the Gaians. If not, I'm totally fine with it. xD It was just an idea Easty and Revvy mentioned and it kinda clicked.

Ideas? Opinions? :3

Also we need to get the members to vote. Voting incentives?

[ARTEMIS!]

Moved out of archives. Feel free to add/suggest, though this has been edited many times to suit WW. xD They're pretty much ready to be made.

Well, maybe they don't need to be the LE 'version' of anything... after all, Whisps and Harbringers aren't, or at least not that I can tell.
I really like them!

What actually happened to the whole Gaian plot thingy?

[NOCHT !]

Gaians are LE Cael, Daja LE Myou, Mortui LE Lupus.

Spick played on making an LE version for everything. xD

And the Gaian plot fell apart when the leader of it disappeared and none of us wanted to take it on.

I don’t know that they need to be LE versions of anything, but they should probably be LE as it would be impossible for them to hybridize with anything. If they were an LE of an existing species Sennyo might work best, but we’d have to come up with some explanation of how they were related/evolved from them. Might be easier to just have them be their own thing since they are so different.

Not sure if I’m reading this right, but they get wings partially through education? This seems like it would be hard to regulate in profiles. I can see how it could work, but it seems like it might be complicated.

Also, perhaps their sedative should be fast acting but not long lasting (but still with little effect on a normal wolf). A slow acting sedative seems like it would not be useful in bringing down any prey as they could get away before it went into effect.

The giving of advice in riddles sounds fun, but concerns me because I’m not sure every member would be able to pull this off well. It certainly adds a bit of difficulty to trying to play one.

The preconceived plot idea could work, as they would likely need their own pack for most of the species, with a few members of the species flitting off and doing their own thing. Maybe not something as completely planned out as the Gaian thing, but a similar model.

The image of one flying around a wolf reminds me of the fairy from Zelda. “Hey! Listen!”

[magispar]

Well, if they are LE, presumably it doesn't matter if they are difficult to play, because to win competitions and get an LE wolf, you'll probably have to have the skills. Maybe the auditions for one could involve making up some kind of riddle prophecy or something.

If they were to be a LE Sennyo. With the colors and all and the way their wings are transparent. Than perhaps the Abellios could have come more from the Olden Wolves? But still be distantly related to the Sennyo's through linage? If that makes any sense. :/

For the plot, maybe they have a special way to choose their leaders?
Like...the 'ellio with the most education/biggest set of wings is the leader. Which would make him/her the eldest one. Than they would go by that instead of heir's?

[NOCHT !]

Well the only reason the LE came about was because Spick had originally said. I honestly don't have any wish for them to be LE sennyo or not.

I think, what I meant through the education, was they get it through age. All pups learn and develop as they grow, so it's more an age thing. I can clarify that.

The sedative makes sense, and I will edit that in a moment. c: Thanks for pointing that out Rose.

I think with the riddles, it would be more like, guiding them towards the answer. Just so long as they're not immediately giving away the 'answer' to a problem, it's fine. There would be auditions for them anyways.

I think I get where you're coming from Rev. xD

I had a rough plot outline but there were basically as many playable characters as there were leaders of the pack. I can find part of it and post that. I dunno if there would be a leader of their pack, or how it would work like that. I'd have to think on that more. I kind of think it would be an aristocracy. So like the best at the top, and going down.

[∞ seven]

That would be fun. Fluffly little things that demand attention. xD

Even if it wasn't asked, I also thought up a few partial pack names for them. Since their all going to be one big pack with a few wanderer's like Rose said.

Nube ____
Paullulum ____
Innato _____

All the beginnings are in latin and mean something about either clouds, floating, or smallness. o3o

The Abellio have always lived in Wonderwhy, but few had known about their presence. Almost nothing, if that at all, was known about the secretive fairy-wolves. Their home, the [insert Kit's plant name here] tree not only kept them in isolation but also kept others out. Few knew of the tree, and those who did, had kept their mouths shut. Few throughout the history of Wonderwhy had met these tiny wolves, and those who had had kept their encounters a secret... until now.

With the changing of the seasons the [insert tree name] tree had begun to lose its magic. Whereas before, it would spend years afloat in the skies, only being intruded by a lucky, but lost keiyou, now the tree would sink down every few months to the ground. It slowly began sinking and making more frequent stops towards the ground. The Abellio were aware of the loss of magic, and distraught by this change, had decided to do something to help their tree, and their home. The magic from the tree was not the only thing to be lost; wolves' whose magic was normally trustworthy were beginning to find that it didn't always work.

The leader of the Abellio constructed a plan in order to not only save their home, but to save all the magic in Wonderwhy. He sent each pack in Wonderwhy an ambassador; Name1, the peaceful, Name2 the gentle, Name3 the honourable, Name4 the fair, Name5 the wise, Name6 the humble, and lastly, Name7 the brave. With the seven Abellio knights chosen, they set out to guard and inform each pack against the misuse of magic and the terrible perils it had brought to them.

That was the basic plot outline I had. Needs a lot of tweaking and stuff, but basically they used up their resources and want to warn and advise the other packs. I'll post a bit of a revised version in it.

[Sky]

It would be nice, but the winged fish are bigger then these guys! A whole gang of Abellio hunters would be needed to hunt a bird!

[AVALON !]

That's fine, they're meant to be small. Plus, if you read the description they have a sedative in their saliva to take down small prey. Plus they live in a tree, not the water.

[°Crow°]

I like this species too! And what rose said earlier, it totally reminds me of Link and Navi xDD she was sooo annoying! I was all like "Damn fairy, I already know! Leave me alone!" Awesome idea on a fairy wolf behalf though C:
