Ani

== Description == 
=== Behavior ===
* Their personalities are very gentle and energetic, and they never have feelings of malice or hatred.
* They are incredibly altruistic and will give to others for no obvious benefit to themselves.
** However, they can feel skepticism and distrust, which improves their chances at survival and encourages them to prefer healing friendlies rather than healing any creature they see that is wounded.
=== Artist Headcanon ===
* Their personalities are gentle and energetic, without feeling of malice or hatreds, due to their pure origins.
** Originally, they could not feel skepticism nor distrust, those were given in their transferal to Sonaria to improve their chances at survival and encourage them to prefer healing friendlies rather than healing any creature they see that is wounded.
* Their visual appearance does not reflect their gentle nature; on the contrary, from appearance alone, they look almost tribal or even barbaric.
* Their six fin-like protrusions from their shoulder blades vibrate as a means of visual communication of emotion or danger.

== Trivia ==
* The was created by Eti/Xan_TheDragon, with Sonaria's rendition being drawn by 0Neoki0 and modeled by JaxonBirb.
** Their appearance was lightly inspired by that of Spirits from the Ori game franchise, something retained over the 6 years of their existence in writing. Their design has undergone very little change since their initial creation for Lands of Eyzira.
*** In the original concept, male had distinctive glassy horns protruding from their head, made of a raw, unknown type of energy, almost as if they were made of solid light. These horns pulsated calmly with a strange pattern etched into the surface. Males also had a gruffer facial structure, almost looking perpetually angry, even though they were just as friendly as females. They also had three discrete arrow-shaped markings under each eye.
*** In contrast, female had very streamlined bodies in their original concept, being roughly 90% of the weight of males on average. Their back fins tended to be very slightly smaller, and their tails less fin-like in favor of a more graceful, uniform shape. Females also have a thin, curled line marking under each eye rather than the three arrows.
** Eti created a specification document that loosely goes over making OCs in response to the number of requests for permission to do so. This document can be found on his website: Eti the Spirit :: Random Bits and Pieces ▶︎ The Ani
** The have incredibly extensive backing lore because they were originally a core component of Eti's unreleased MMORPG Lands of Eyzira. In their original lore, the were creatures designed to bridge the gap between the pure/perfect afterlife and the impure real world, being the only creatures capable of such a feat. They were present in an end-game area intended for maximum-rank players.
*** The strange pillars seen in their home realm are compared to a material from the MMORPG WildStar known as Exanite. The texture on the pillar in Sonaria, as their teaser, uses a texture derived from that of Exanite. A unique quirk about them was that they could focus and redirect light, hence the volumetric glow above their tops.
**** The now-removed pillar easter egg played sounds from Exanite crystals when players stood around it. The pillar can still be seen in this experience.
** Their name is both the singular and plural form ("s" is not correct). It is generally more correct to refer to them as The rather than just by name, . 
* In Legacy, the male/female signifying features (flame/light streak) do not show in the customizer, nor do the orbs. This is intentional, as the orbs are not part of the creature itself and are instead an item given to them. The flame or light streak comes from the creature's internal energy, so its color is not able to be changed.
** This was also intentional from a mechanical perspective, namely, to discourage extremely odd color palettes due to them not matching the general aesthetic of the orbs and flame/streak. 
** The orbs and Restoration Beam on Eti's personal appear blue instead of gold, making it one-of-a-kind.
* Legacy is the first species to have physics-based objects (the orbs) that are not part of the rig itself. However, in Recode its model no longer has the orbs, along with the Restoration Beam.
* is also the first species to receive bright white-gold blood - the Aereis's shade is far more yellow.
** Due to this, when dying on Legacy, the drops a white-gold carcass.
* was the first species to have negative damage during Legacy, making it quite literally "un-hurt" their target with its melee attack .
** Additionally, in Legacy they were the first species rendered completely incapable of dealing direct damage in any way. Most notably, any items that modify the damage, ability, or breath of the are overridden and instead have no effect. However, this has since been changed in Recode, as now all healers gained the ability to switch between healing mode and hurting mode.
* While normally unobtainable by ordinary players, players with god mode enabled in Legacy have their health bar shown as cyan with "UNLIMITED HEALTH" shown above the bar in place of the status effects. This can be seen on any creature with god mode enabled, but Eti's personal was the first to be seen publicly. Additionally, a Unique Variant, Athulyth, owned by Eti, shows a golden bar with "THE GILDED ONE" above it as a reference to the character that created the in their original lore headcanon.
* lost its developer creature condition and became a Robux Shop creature on October 28th, 2022.
** Before that, the species was formerly available in the Tikit Shop.
