Half-breeds

Half-breeds (informal name) are a special type of people with unique colored eyes, bringing a special trait or ability that comes with a drawback. They also have a taste for human flesh, though it’s unusual for them to eat it in this time. It’s also rumored that they live slightly longer than normal.

Half-breeds have generally suffered strong persecution in Enciel’s history, moving to isolation in Mount Eredar.

“Aha, a half-breed is someone like me, Yua, or Mel; the people with the weird eyes that do weird things. The name ‘half-breed’ is more of a derogatory term, but our original name has passed into fantasy. About eight-hundred years ago, people began noticing that their children’s eyes were different, and that they had abnormal traits or abilities. While a trait or an ability is normally useful, it comes with its drawbacks. The people also noticed that their half-breed children had a taste for human flesh. Fearing both this and the traits, people abandoned these children, and humanity closed their doors on the half-breeds. So we moved to this mountain! Home sweet home.

If you want a bit more on these traits, for example; Hein’s trait is immortality. No matter how long he lives or if you drive a blade through him any number of times, he won’t die. The downside is, he’s lived very long and seen many loved ones pass him by. If he was given the chance to end his life, he probably wouldn’t hesitate.

My trait… the world moves at about 0.8 speed of what you see. While this allows me to be quick about things, it’s hard to fit in and act normal, and things can be very painful when slow. …Aha, but that’s enough about me.

Yua’s trait is flight. Despite having just one wing, she can fly around just fine. However, she seems extremely bad memory. Evan could probably tell you more about it.

Back around late 300s is our first recorded history, when this land was just being discovered. Around three-hundred years later is when the half-breeds started showing up.

The year is currently 1447. To give you a bit of world history, this land was first discovered in the late 300s, when our first known recorded history began. Very little of the land was explored by then. In 680s, people started noticing that their children were strange, being us half-breeds. In 954, we had cleared the land and given her the name ‘Enciel’.”
