Harpy (Construct)

Harpies are a species of game constructs that are spawned to assist players of dead sessions.

## Anatomy & Physiology

They look like anthropomorphic teal birds of varying species.

At maturity, Harpies stop aging, and wont die until they're killed. They usually reach maturity before their second master, but aren't considered adults in society until their fifth.

## Society & Culture

Skaia tries to place younger Harpies with kinder masters, but they can be difficult to find.

### romance

the Harpy romance system is known as trinkets. harpy relationships are usually defined by two trinkets, one defining the type of relationship and the other its structure. when explaining their relationship, the trinket that defines relationship type goes in front of the one that defines relationship structure. so for example, geminati and tesseract, who are in pearls with eachother, would be in a pearl rings relationship

#### Pearls

A trinket where two or more Harpies are extremely extremely extremely close.

#### Gemstones

Gemstones is the obligatory 'human romance' trinket.

#### Daggers

haterom.

Necklaces

necklaces is the first trinket to define the structure of a relationship rather than the type. in a necklace relationship, one harpy is in a trinket with another harpy, who is in that trinket with another harpy, who is in that trinket with another harpy, who is in that trinket with another harpy, etc. for it to be a necklace relationship, all harpies in the chain must not be involved in the same trinket with anyone else in the chain outside of those who come before and after them in the chain

#### Bracelets

bracelets is necklaces exept it loops around at the end so the last harpy in the chain is in the shared trinket with the first

#### Keyrings

keyrings is a relationship where multiple harpies are in a trinket with one common harpy, but not eachother

#### Rings

a rings relationship is one where its just two harpies.

#### Goblets

Romance between a Harpy and their master. This trinket has a bit of a stigma around it because of the power imbalance, and can often end in abusive relationships.

## Trivia

* Harpies were added second out of the twelve species, behind Leprechauns.
* Harpies can be aligned to any aspect, but trend towards space.
