Hrossen

**Hrossen** are a race of humans on Lucerifus, infamous for their often uncommonly and seemingly unnaturally colored hair and eyes, as well as being the only magic-capable humans native to the planet.

## History

Due to their magical abiilties, the Hrossen have long faced discrimination and hatred, though those with more "normal" appearances have managed to escape any major persecution, due to not standing out as much as their more "unique" peers.

## Magic and Immortality

Due to being decendants of Keg, all Hrossen have the potential to use magic, although as the Hrossen DNA weakens, so does their magical talent. Thus, only those considered at least 1/2 Hrossen (1 full blooded Hrossen and 1 non Hrossen parent, or 2 1/2 Hrossen parents, etc) are considered "true" Hrossen, as any less than that significantly dampens their ability to use magic. It's unknown how far removed from the Hrossen bloodline one can be and still use magic in any capacity.

Most "true" Hrossen have a magical talent that's stronger than anything else they can do. These are just referred to as "abilities", and while some are unique (or at least, incredibly rare), others occur often. The uniqueness has little to no effect on how "strong" the ability is, as two people with the same ability can differ greatly in power, depending on their training and discipline, and the ways in which the ability can be used and applied can vary between them. That said, there are some abilities that are absurdly over-powered, especially as using magic requires little to no stamina to use and can thus be used in rapid succession or even sustained over long periods of time.

Any magic-capable Hrossen can have a spell perpetually active, without actively keeping it under control (dispelling it at any point), but they have to intentionally cast it as such, and any magic cast that way immediately ends upon the Hrossen's death.

## Notable Hrossen

Hrossen are highly featured in stories based in Lucerifus, as their magic has a high impact on their surroundings, when they choose to use it.

### Hrossen with Notable Abilities

**Kgiinloraen**

**Aliana**

**Dawn**

**Kyle**

**Tori**

**Sonne Reisende**

Referred to only as Yami in Lamahiian legends, Sonne was a Praulan refugee with the ability to bend light to xir whim. Using a method even xe didn't quite understand, xe managed to set up the LCB so that it would persist even after xir death, as, unlike popular belief, xe was not immortal, and died on Ti'An from an unknown illness. Xir real identity was lost to history as when xe was alive, xe wasn't considered that influential, and it was only after the LCB mysteriously kicked into action less than a century after xir death that xir status was elevated; however, by that time, xir name was long forgotten, and so the people posthumously dubbed them "Yami". Over the years, "Yami" grew more and more idolized and xir mythical status as a "god" became the standard version of the story.

### Other named Hrossen

As stated, Hrossen are quite prevalent throughout Lucerifus's history, though not all are deserving of a page. Thus, to list all the Hrossen on a single page without resorting to making a whole page (though this may change), they have been listed in the collapsible text below. Some are major characters in their respective works, but weren't notable enough to be listed in the above section.

## Trivia

* The name "Hrossen" comes from a corruption of "hair", while also attempting to make it "German sounding". While within the story, Raein Hros is named after the Hrossen, during conception the country actually came first, and so the name was supposed to mean something akin to "those from Raein Hros" (or I suppose, more literally "Raein Hrosses").
* Sonne's name is from the German word for "sun", since xe can manipulate light, while xir "god" name is from the Japanese word for "darkness" due to the LCB essentially removing all light from Ramaa.
	+ Sonne is also the only character to specifically use "xe/xem" as xir pronouns. Every other nonbinary character (so far) that doesn't use "he" or "she" uses "they". Pronounced "zee", "zem", and "zeer", for those curious. I neither know nor care if that's the commonly accepted way of saying it, but it's how I say it.
* On Lucerifus, purple eyes are not considered unnatural, instead being classed as a shade of blue. Likewise, while it's not as obvious due to the cartoonishly oversaturated way hair is colored, certain shades of orange are either "natural" (Earth red hair) or "unnatural" (tangerine colored), and most shades of yellow are to be considered a natural blonde color.
