Feral Instincts

## What's That?

A Feral Instinct, sometimes called a Feral Side, are the evolutionary 'leftovers' of FE. The Deities did not make Elementals to be perfect, nor are they, and they know that. Sometimes these instincts are good, such as fight or flight responses to fear when in serious danger. Sometimes they're bad, as is the case with most Fire Elementals. They don't really have that *flight* response. Some might, but a majority of them overestimate their abilities. This quite often leads to "I'm superior" fights.

However, sometimes they're more primal than that. *All* Elementals have night vision, but they still fear other things, like going hungry, which leads to eating disorders.

## Fight or Flight

Fight or Flight is an instinct humans have, adapting because we needed that little voice in our heads that say "bro you can't take this guy, back off." But guess what? A good portion of Fire Elementals don't have that voice. When two Fire Elementals get into a fight, they don't think "hey, this is a bad idea, I'm probably gonna die," they think things like, "Well fuck, I don't want to die a wimp," or "[Insert exessive profanity] I'm gonna [censored] your [censored] up!". It's sometimes referred to as Feral Mode, because they just stop thinking coherently. It's like a switch is flipped in their brains and all they want to do is win or die with honor.

Air Elementals don't even have that response. They never had any real natural predators, so they're a peaceful bunch. They get scared by loud noises sometimes, but really, there's not a lot they're naturally afraid of. Starvation, yeah, but really, they don't fear other creatures. They'd have to be attacked before they started running. Because of this, today's Air Elementals don't have good natural defenses. They do have something to compensate, however. Their wings are extremely powerful, so much so, they are able to fly with something almost (or over, depending on the Elemental) double their weight in their paws while flying. During FE, they often carried their Elets on their backs and in their paws (and they usually had 2-4 at a time back then) while flying from place to place, so it really wasn't all that difficult. They also had to carry a lot of food because they were social creatures, and they had a hierarchy similar to fire Elementals (though with less abuse towards lower status Elementals) with hunters and gatherers.

Plant Elementals immediately respond to a predator with fear or submission. They legitimately don't have a fight response. They sometimes used whatever natural defense they had as a distraction (poisonous gas, thorns on the tail, spitting acid, etc.) but they never stayed around too long in FE. Sometimes the plant Elementals were taken back to Falecea as captives, but usually, they were killed for fun. It was a game to the Fire Elementals. Whoever brings back the most corpses gets a prize.
Elemental Genetics

Elemental Genetics! I promise you, they're very similar to an 8th-grade science class, so if you're over 13 like you're supposed to be to do anything online, you'll get the hang of these quickly!

## Parents and Offspring

Okay, so for a few examples of parents and their offspring to understand the element and species mixing concept, I'm gonna list them off below.

Water Dranda + Fire Droggon = Water Droggon, Fire Dranda, Water Dranda, or Fire Droggon

Why does this happen? Well, simply put, I've not decided that yet. Don't ask, when I have it decided, I'll put it down right here in place of this.

## Traits

Traits are fun! They, along with colors and markings, make an elemental unique! See, a young elemental could develop a trait from up to three generations back! That means if their great grandpa had firey horns and they're of the fire element, guess who has a possibility of developing firey horns! That's right, the young elemental! Now, of course, this does make determining genetics a bit harder, but... I'm working on it-
Support Pets

## Emotional Support Pets

Emotional Support Pets, often shortened to ESPs, are the most common type of Support Pet on Zanzus. They're trained to recognize different emotions and do different things, depending on what they're needed to do.

### Species

#### Cloud Bellied Zilinks

Cloud Bellied Zilinks are the most common type of ESP on Zanzus. Their high intelligence, high empathy, and willingness to comply with commands have earned them this spot, along with their comforting aura and non-threatening appearance.
Puberty

## What's it like?

Elemental puberty has different stages, and they're quite distinct. There's the first stage called Trait Puberty, which happens at about two-to-six years (32-96 months on average) of age where an Elemental's defensive traits begin to grow in. The second stage is when they begin to molt feathers and shed scales or fur yearly. The third stage is where they begin to reach sexual maturity and start to have *those* thoughts and feelings, usually around 12-15 years.

## Trait

Trait Puberty is one of the most important times of an Elet's life. It can determine how they're raised, if the adults happen to be Fire or Lightning Elementals (more Fire, because if they have very few defensive traits, they're likely to be abandoned as a lost cause, because they can't defend themselves at all), how others see them, or even how they deal with pain, because traits coming in is kind of a bitch.

### Horn/Spike Growth

Given that horns (and most spikes) are literal *bones*, having them grow in is indeed painful. Quixorite, a type of healing gemstone, is often Blessed and put around an Elet's neck on a necklace to dull the pain and quicken the process. During this time, an Elet's skeletal structure changes and small spikes begin to form on their heads where the horns will be. The horns can be any shape or size, but ram horns are the most common. This process takes a couple of days to a week, usually aided by the Quixorite.

### Antler Growth

Antlers are even more painful than Horns and Spikes, and the antlers are often covered with velvet *and* beads made of Quixorite, lined together with string, to ease their pain. The antler growing process happens faster, but they do still shed on a cycle, yearly, at different times.
Transportation

## Feral Spheres

### General Introduction

Feral Spheres, or a Feral Sphere, is the most common type of vehicle on Zanzus. It acts as their version of cars, and is very similar to the Gyrosphere from Jurassic World, but with pedals inside and a sort of seat that holds the torso up. The controls are usually present in the seat.

### How to Use

For Elementals to use their Sphere, they must be in their feral form. They lay on the seat and their paws, front and hind, go on the pedals in front of and behind the seat. Seats are typically padded with either a pillow-type thing over it or a soft fluff-like material.

### More than one Elemental

While there's no way for more than one Elemental to fit into a single Sphere safely, there are connectors that are sold. The connectors usually go one behind the other with the smaller in the front, and the smaller ones... You know those motorcycle side carts for children? Same energy.

### Other

Generally, seats are custom made, and quite cheap in most places, if not free/bundled with the purchase of a Sphere itself.

## Aquatrains

### General Introduction

Aquatrains are the primary transportation method for getting from Leafly to Aquarip's main city and other smaller cities outside Aquarip's kingdom territory.

### Risks

There are, of course, risks to using an Aquatrain. Not because of the technology, but because of the other species in the water, including Ferals. Ambu is the most prominent threat, but packs of wild Aquafins and large Scallens are also a danger.

## (Lack of) Airtravel

### General Introduction

Sure, you may think it'd be more effective to fly in something like a jet plane or a commercial airline, but really, it's inconvenient for most Elementals. A lot of them like the feeling of being in the sky, free, and given Cragrah wakes at any mention of air travel or weapons like rockets or nuclear bombs, it's not something a lot of them want to mess with.
Cade

### Spirit Section

The Spirit Section of Cade can be entered by Spirits and the Six alike, with the Six being permitted visiting hours/days.

## Levels

### Working Section

The working section (temp name, hopefully) is a section where all the Elementals created to serve the Deities and such live. It stretches endlessly, and also contains Spaces. (More to be added)

#### Spaces

Spaces are rooms that come in three sizes, Small, Medium, and Large, and act as rooms for Elementals to sit and relax in. They're fully customizable other than size, but things can be added and removed at will.

### Spirit Section

The Spirit Section of Cade is where you find all the, well, Spirits, of past Elementals.
Body Modification

## Geming

Through a process called geming, earth Droggons and Drats (Not Drandas) can have gemstones embedded into their scales. This process is usually performed by other gemed earth droggons because their thick scales heavily dull the pain of having sharp stones forced into their scales. Any other Elemental type would find it unbearable.

## Piercings

Piercing is common among fire Elementals, especially around the ears, nose and genitals. It's also been growing in popularity with air Elementals, who like the aesthetic of pierced ears.

## Tattoos

Tattoos are very common among Lightning, Fire, and Water Elementals. In gangs on Lightola, tattoos can help recognize opposing members, or fellow gang members. It's also less dangerous than piercings, because you *really* don't want a septum ripped out of your nose in a fight. Water Elementals usually go to land artists, because ink doesn't do well in water. Fire Elementals do it as tribal type-stuff.

## Scarification

Scarification is pretty much the ultimate sign of respectability in Fire Elementals. Their feral side, with the way they evolved, has wired them to recognize those with more scars than themselves as superior because they're tougher, have won more fights, as those are almost always to the death.

## Welding

Welding, popular in the Tribal Areas of Falecea, is something done to Elementals with rare traits, which they refer to as Deformities. Deformities could be anything like a tail like a Zolt, feathered wings, or anything else you wouldn't typically find in a group of Fire Elementals.
The Elements Overview

There are 14 elements an Elemental could be, except for Drandas, they have 12 for (currently undecided) lore reasons. The 14 elements are Water, Ice, Plant, Earth & Gem (Excluding Drandas), Air, Lightning, Fire, Light, Psychic, Archangel, Shadow, Undead (With three Sub Categories, Half-Dead, Spirit, and Skeleton), and Devil. The last six listed may be either Mortal or Immortal. Mortals like the last four can happen when an Immortal Elemental reproduces with a mortal elemental. This is not always 100%, however, and the child can easily end up as the mortal element.

The Immortal Elementals, also referred to as the Six as a blanket term, generally reside in Cade and Nupana, which is pretty much heaven and hell for them respectively, with the first three of the six Elements being in Cade and the second three in Nupana. Immortal Elementals can teleport between Zanzus, Cade, and Nupana.

The names of the goddesses who role over Cade and Nupana are, respectively, Leora and Div.
Airplix

## Climate

Airplix does not have weather like rain, snow, or any of that, given you live above the clouds. The clouds are so thickly compacted there that you can walk on them, even as a human. Wind never happens that high up without an air droggon making it happen, and so the clouds there stay in place. As they say, "It's always sunny in Airplix!"

## Their Culture

Airplix is a peaceful place, littered with friendly air Elementals. The kingdom usually keeps to itself, with an intelligent king and sweet, albeit slightly ditzy, queen.

They do not discriminate, and all Elementals types are welcome, given they act appropriately. Homosexual marriage is legal, violent outbreaks are incredibly rare, and it's a generally nice place to be.

It should also be noted that you can, a lot of the time, walk into an air Elemental's home and they'll feed you and let you stay there for a few hours. They're omnivores, so they usually have quite a variety of food on them.

## Social Status

Similar to Aquarip, Airplix social status is determined by the way you act. Good people are rarely homeless, since the government has plenty of homeless shelters built, and those that don't go to shelters are generally banned from them for one reason or another.

## Other

### Prison

Unlike in America, the Airplix prisons are few and based around reformation rather than punishment.
Leafly

## Climate

Leafly on the map. You can also see Silverleaf Academy, and a piece of Aquarip's territory.

## Other

### Gender Views

All genders are welcome and accepted, given all plant Elementals are hermaphrodites.

### Sexuality Views

All sexualities are welcome and accepted

Leafly is mainly lush rainforest. There's always wildlife within a fifteen-meter radius, be it small reptiles, fish in ponds that litter the deeper, less explored parts of the rain forest, or Monsters such as the Misery or the Phobia. They are some of the most creatures unique on Zanzus, those on Leafly. Trees bigger than red-woods are everywhere, the smallest ones being the size of the average red-wood, bushes are the size of boulders, non-sapient plant-life on Leafly is just huge in general. Leaves are big and stable enough to build houses on, there are also acorns that have houses carved into them.

###  Landmarks

#### Silverleaf Island/Academy

 Their Culture

Leafly culture is all over the place, really. There are some spots where you can find more tribal places, some are like cities in the trees, and others are advanced passed our current generation of technology.
Falecea

## Climate

Climate on Falecea is almost uninhabitable for other Elementals, and entirely so for humans (which don't exist on Zanzus, but it's worth mentioning). Smoke fills the air in most places, but the fire Elementals have adapted to breathe better there than where given fresh air. Volcanoes are dotted around the land, though they pool around the southern part of the continent, where tribes of fire Elementals, some hostile and some friendly, live. The only reason it's uninhabited by the non-tribals is that they pose a decent threat, not being too far behind the rest of Falecea, and because volcanoes constantly erupt, making building difficult.

### Landmarks

#### Azuzra Caverns

A bunch of underground caves, littered with hostile, feral fire Elementals, located on the southern end of the continent.

## Their Culture

Falecea(n) culture is quite similar to Dritura culture in that they shun technology. The continent as a whole is unable to be trusted with technology for the good of the planet. The Deities, along with the rest of Zanzus, don't really want a second Flareclaw

## Social Status

### Currently

Currently, Social Status is represented by a lot of things, but the most sure-fire way to tell what Rank an Elemental is by looking at their wings. Ribbons, paints, pins, and jewels are attached to wings of higher status Elementals, or they're plain, or just *plain missing*.

All of the things: Royalty/Government Officials

Ribbons and pins: Upper Class

Plain wings- Peasants

No Wings- Slaves

## Other

### Important Historical Figures

#### Flareclaw Bloodstone

Flareclaw, or Flare, was known as the ruler of Falecea for a while. He was powerful, intelligent, and charming. All the right traits for all the wrong reasons. He ruled with an iron claw, killed anyone who spoke out, etc. He even went as far as to challenge the Deities. This is why Ashe rules over Falecea now.
Education

## General

There are three levels of schooling on Zanzus. Lower, for very young Elets who've yet to start their Heat Puberty, Upper, for Elets who have, and Advanced, for those who want to do something creative with their lives (writing, visual art, music, fasion, etc.). They're the Elementals behind all the creative arts on Zanzus.

### Advanced

Advanced is for Elementals who are 21 and over. It's like going to college, but more *fun* more often. Rarely is it "sit down, get out your textbook you paid $200 for, and read page one." and then you're done with that book for the rest of the year.

There are paws-on activities, a lot of the classes are free upon paying the fee for dorms and some tuition (not nearly as expensive as American college). You just pick the ones you want and attend, with the exception of maybe needing some basic materials (if you do a sculpting class you might need some tools, but only if you want your own or the tools are a little too broken for you to use, but generally the class tools are taken care of.)

#### Class Layout

Generally, in most Advanced Schools, you have 4 subjects + whichever ones you want to take. You take History, Science, Language Arts, and Social Studies. Then, depending on what school you go to, you pick from 2-4 of 10 classes. The 10 classes are; Digital Art, Traditional Art, Creative Writing, Technology Development, Teaching, Elet/Eldery Care, Health, and [INSERT LATER]. Generally, schools don't offer all of these, but there's usually at least all of them in two separate schools nearby, if that makes sense.

## Academies

Academies are for Elementals who want to help others. There, they focus on magical training, but they can also teach fighting, first aid (for Elementals without the Ability to heal, like how to make splints, become a doctor, etc.) among other things.
Shadow Walker

## History

Shadow Walker, or, as they were previously known, Audric, used to be a Light Elemental. After committing a heinous crime against another Elemental, Midnight, he was cursed to become a deformed, blind Shadow Elemental, forbidden from entering Cade or Nupana. So, he wanders Zanzus, unable to cause any harm, but desperately crying out for help as he's unable to speak. The Deities picked this punishment rather than erasing due to the nature of his crimes, which were sick and disturbing. They made him look as messed up as he is in the head.

## Appearance

### Before Curse

Before Audric's Curse, he was a fine, rather good looking Elemental. His feathers were a shiny white, with golden scales on his front paws, like a griffin's.

### After

After Audric's curse, restricted to a disgustingly deformed mix of Anthro and Feral form, half hunched, moving almost like a gorilla, his front paws became smokey and black, so he can't grab anything. His shiny, clean, white feathers turned to burnt-looking fur, his teeth disappeared, as did his horns and whiskers. His eyes, once gold and beautiful, are now grey and dull, blind to any of his surroundings. His wings were left fine, aside from the color change (the white feathers also turned black and the gold turned pale blue), if made slightly smaller to exhaust him from the smallest of flights off the ground. His lovely, black mane went from black to mist, like his front paws. His tail's tip is now the same shade of blue as the spots on his wings.

Lacking proper vocal cords to speak, the only noises he's able to make are shrill, pained cries, low growls, and high-pitched howls.

## Abilities

### Shadow Walking

Appropriately named after this Ability in Folklore, Shadow Walker has the ability to shift into a shadowy creature. He's unable to touch anything but also nothing can touch him.
Non-Canon Elements

## Non-Canon...?

Yes! Non-canon elements! Elements that exist for FC and Fanfiction purposes but don't exist canonically because I didn't plan to have things like bug Droggons/Drandas!

## Why?

Because FC purposes. If you can't make a badass Candy Droggon/Dranda then what can you do? Nothing worth living, I'll tell ya that~

## Okay, now what?

Non-canon Droggons/Drandas could be literally any element you could think of. Want a void Droggon/Dranda? Bam, it exists. Want a metal Droggon/Dranda? That can be there, too. Droggons do still need a sub-breed, but any element is totally fine.
Holidays

## (Unnamed Family Celebration)

Parents are quite highly respected on Zanzus. Raising a child is hard, and the older Elementals know that quite well. I don't exactly have a name for this holiday yet, but it's five days long and takes place sometime during Friucus and it has a day for every member of the family. The first day is for the eldest in the family, typically great grand parents, and if those aren't present, grandparents. The second day is for the next in line, usually the grand parents, then the third for parents, then the fourth for children, and the fifth is for any pets. Yes, they celebrate pets. Pets on Zanzus (predominantly Keonixes, Zolts, and Zilinks) are well taken care of on Zanzus. The only place this holiday rarely takes place on is Falecea, where it's everyone for themselves, basically.

## Week of the Species

Week of the Species, or WotS for short, is a full week during the month Fliso where Elementals get together and celebrate their species. The celebrations are split into every two days. Brila and Saea are for Droggons, Gloriua and Qlecorst for Drats, and Tlyuhs and Frunohn are for Drandas.
Ambu

## Appearance

Ambu is a 30-meter long feral water Droggon. It appears to be of the maned wolf Sub-Breed, with a long, flowing mohawk mane on its back. It has webbed paws, huge, shredding teeth, gigantic, glowing green eyes with slit pupils, and pitch black fur, save for the Mohawk on its back, which is seaweed green and glows. Its tail is rather long with a fin on the end.

## Lore

### Origin

While the origins of Ambu are unknown, they are speculated. It is most commonly thought that Ambu was a huge creature who lived during feral times. Most creatures evolved. However, Ambu has been 'blessed' with what seems to be immortality. The creature isn't generally peaceful, but spends most of its time away from Aquarip, more out in the middle of nowhere, feasting on other ferals and unlucky non-feral Elementals who happen to cross his path.
Elemental Corruption

## What's that?

Dear reader, I'm glad you asked! Elemental corruption is what happens when an Elemental has one of three things happen to them!

-They get so emotionally destroyed their magic just... Doesn't *work correctly*.

-They are physically corrupted by another Corrupt

-A Deity or one of the former three of the Six decide to punish an Elemental.

Now, none of the Six can be corrupted, not even Hoxes.

## What's it cause?

It causes an Elemental's physical appearance and mental state to alter. They go Feral mentally and take on the alternate Element of their original Element, listed below.

Water- Lake

Ice- Snow

Plant- Jungle

Earth- Mountain

Gem- Metal

Air- Wind

Lightning- Bolt

Fire- Pyre
Dolls and Plushies

## What about 'em?

Dolls and Plushies are very important things on Zanzus. Most Elementals are given them as children and keep them all throughout adulthood. Sometimes they'll use them as their item to propose, other times, they ask to be buried with them when they die to make sure they get to Cade safely. They are usually called 'The Deities Gifts' (often shortened to just 'Gifts') because the Deities would give them to special Elementals they valued, back before it was a worldwide tradition.

## Appearance

Gifts usually look like one of the many lesser species on Zanzus, often with a halo on the head to represent their protective 'powers', and the halo stands for that because of the Archangel Element, which almost always have halos, and are sort of the Guardian Angels of Zanzus. Cloud Bellied Zilinks are the most common form of Gifts,

## Other

### In Schools

Gifts in school are usually only in the lower schooling level, but if a note is given (from a therapist or doctor or something like that) Uppers are allowed their Gift in class.
Depr

## Overview

Beast Type: Emotional Parasite

### Physically

The Depr has a similar appearance to the Aye-Aye, a type of lemur. It has the body type of the same creature, with glowing red eyes and a wispy, shadowy body, sort of like smoke. It has small white bone plates over its body providing slight armor for the Depr.

## Mentality

Deprs are the leading causes of depression in Elementals.
Fawne

## Overview

Fawne is the Goddess of Plants, the creator of most plants on Zanzus, and often called "Mother Nature" by those who live on Zanzus.

## Appearance

### Body

#### Physical

Fawne's physical body is small compared to the rest of the Deities, only about 10 feet tall. She is, of course, big compared to most mortals, but the rest of the Deities are around 15-20 feet in their physical form, except for Cragrah, who happens to be a large boi. She has soft, sleek feeling, pale green fur, similar in texture you'd feel on a rose's stem, with twelve rose-like petals around her neck, each color of the rainbow appearing twice, never right next to each other. Her specific plant type is the Amara and her sub-breed is the Black-Footed Cat. She has brown thorns going down her back from her forehead to her tail tip, where she has a large cone of six petals around, again, each a color of the rainbow.
Dritura

## Climate

Dritura on the map, where you can also see Sandstorm Academy.

## Other

### Gender Views

Genders are respected. If you can do your job right, doesn't matter what your pronouns are.

### Sexuality Views

As long as you're able to reproduce it's an acceptable relationship (lesbians are typically okay due to hermaphroditic females in heat but gay males don't usually work like that)

### Landmarks

 Their Culture

Dritura culture has a tendency to shun technology. Generally, they don't think those who use it are beneath them, but they find them to be weaker because they don't spend 70% of their time mining and farming.

## Social Status

Social Status on Dritura is similar to what you'd find in Medieval times. You have your Noblemen, peasants, and of course, slaves.

### Noblemen

Now, noblemen aren't always male, of course. About 35%-40% of Nobles on Dritura are female and there are even a few well-known nobles 'famous' for treating their 'slaves' so well.

### Slaves (term to be changed)

Slaves on Dritura are much more like indentured servants, but they're there on their own will. They work on farms and in mines in exchange for protection from invading fire Elementals. They don't quite do it as much,as they used to, but it happens sometimes, bands of Fire Elementals come over in packs and attack. 'Slaves' aren't treated as badly as the ones on Falecea, of course, but they're no noble. They're technically free citizens and could leave at any time, but some don't take very good care of their slaves. They aren't being beaten or anything crazy like that (usually) but hey, shit happens.
Cryptiun

## Overview

**Rarity:** Uncommon

**Danger Rank:** C Alone, S in packs

**Height:** 6’

**Length:** 19’

**Weight:** 5,000 LBS

**Beast Type:** Physical Fighter

## Physical Appearance

Physically, Cryptiun Beasts are very large. Their bodies are heavily armored with bony plates, their eyes have tougher secondary lids over the eyeballs so they can’t be blinded by dust or sand, and their legs are very strong with them being able to run at 23 miles per hour on average.

## Abilities

The abilities of a Cryptiun are fairly limited. While they’re very fast runners and physically strong, their only Magic Ability is to make them physically stronger.

## Mentality

Cryptiun are very aggressive Beasts and will not hesitate to fight an Elemental. While Taming is difficult, it isn’t impossible.
Stormbringer

## Overview

#### Physical

Stormbringer has pitch black feathers on a tall, lankier body. Her physical form is 20' and her Sub-Breed is of a Maned Wolf. She uses female pronouns, despite presenting as male. Because of her, being trans is probably the most accepted identity, other than identifying as the gender you were born as. She has tail feathers that attach to the base of her tail and she can fan or fold as she pleases. She also has neon blue ram horns and bright yellow eyes with slit pupils.

### Clothing

#### Conscious

* Stormy blue Toga with black trimmings
* Sandal-like shoes

## Trivia

* Stormbringer's name comes from the name Early Elementals gave her that being Bringer of Storms. Her original name was Thundura (thun-doo-rah) but she changed it out of fondness for the Mortals, specifically on Leafly and Lightola.
* Her name was Bringer of Storms because it was believed that she caused all rain, thunder, and lightning. She does, to an extent.
Aether

## What is Aether?

Aether is the name for the magical energy that all Elementals possess. If you've ever played any magic based RPG game, it's basically like mana. There's a limited amount for each elemental, some possessing more than others.

Lesser species possess Aether, but it's much more for the healing factor and the fact they need it for the afterlife.

## What can it do?

Aether can be used to control the elements, can be focused into certain body parts to enhanced blocks or attacks in physical combat, among other things. It acts as a sort of healing factor for the body, too. I wouldn't really call it a health bar, since it doesn't protect against stuff directly, but it does very much help with physical injuries. Say you break your ankle. The more Aether you have the faster you heal. Aether cannot be increased, but the amount of it required to do things can be decreased with practice.
Aquarip

## Social Status

Aquarip Residents are given a sort of allowance from the government based on their job + their social ranking.

### Ranks

#### Star

A Star is the highest rank you can be in the eyes of the law. If you're here you've probably donated an organ or risked your life to save another, regardless of whether or not you were successful. Dead Stars are called Nebulars and are buried in a special place they chose while they were alive in their Residential Form.

#### Hero

Heros are Elementals who work as surgeons, doctors, Dome Guards, those who save lives. They're paid very handsomely and get quite a lot of praise from others.

#### Saint

If you're a saint, you're just above an average citizen. You do kind things for others, like hold doors open, carry groceries, it's not hard to achieve this Rank.

#### Minor

Minors are Elets who've done no wrong yet. Once they turn 18, they are given their allowance from the Government and social ranking of Citizen.

#### Citizen

Citizens are either Elementals who've just moved to Aquarip, are on their way down or back up the Ranking Chain, or have just turned 18.

#### Brat

Brats are Elets over the age of 13 but under 18 who have committed crimes and can have them put on their record. They have the choice of waiting until they're 18 to work off their crimes or doing so immediately so they're not lower immediately after turning 18. Responsible parents usually make them do it immediately to teach them that there are consequences, but it doesn't always work. The Rank Brat can be combined with any of those below it listed.

#### Delinquent

Delinquents are usually thieves who don't put anyone in serious danger. Y'know, stealing a candy bar from a convenient store, that kind of minor thing. Generally only Brats achieve this Rank, but minor petty crimes by adults can be here too.

#### Lawbreaker

Lawbreakers are Elementals who harm others but don't kill. Robbing a store but with a weapon, making petty threats, higher petty crimes, assault, etc.

#### Criminal

Criminal is the lowest you can go, where you've either killed someone (outside of Self-Defense), sexually assaulted someone and got them pregnant, or a dishonored Dome Guard.

## Dome Info

The Dome was another gift from the Deities, Coralus in particular, who wanted Non-Water Elementals to be able to view the beauty of the ocean. She also granted them tunnels, but left them to themselves to develop the technology to be able to traverse them efficiently. Thus came Aquatrains, which are used to visit other places on Zanzus, such as Silverleaf Academy.

### Guard Camp

In preparation to see if one is fit enough to be a Dome Guard, Elementals must attend Guard Camp, kinda like boot camp. The first 3 months are focused on general stuff, like what to do if your buddy gets hurt in open water where predators can smell their blood, how to handle a wild Zolt, etc. while the next 5 months are focused on what you want to do. There's a lot of different options for that, listed below.
Currency

## Different Types

### Fraptos (Universal)

The universal currency on Zanzus, Fraptos can be exchanged for any other currency and vice-versa. It's a gold coin, pretty much.

### Subica (Aquarip)

Subica is the currency in Aquarip. It resembles a gold coin, but is actually light blue.

### Esorin (Airplix)

Esorin is a form of heavily-condensed cloud. It is white and coin-shaped, and equals roughly 1.50 Esorin for every single American dollar.

### Frond (Leafly)

Frond is a paper type of money, the numbers being in 1, 10, 20, 50, 100, etc. basically American bills without the coins.

### Zapding (Lightola)

Zapding is a cryptocurrency on Lightola and can ONLY be found online. Fraptos is used otherwise.

Technology

## Machines

### Skreens

A digitalized textbook, basically. They're something akin to an iPad or tablet, but thinner and with a holographic touch screen.

## Social Media

### Blog Sites

#### So.ar

So.ar is a website very similar to reddit, typically it's the **s/** format.

### Instant Messaging

#### Wa.ve

Like Discord, but specifically for Elementals who live underwater or in the Aquarip dome. It has settings like "filter water sounds" that block out water noises and such.

#### Mischief

Mischief is a lot like Discord, but on Zanzus.
Mental Disorders

## Ocean Absence Syndrome

Ocean Absence Syndrome, or OAS, is developed only in water elementals when they're kept away from the ocean too long. This can drive them to self-harm or suicide if kept locked away long enough.

## Grooming Syndrome

Grooming Syndrome occurs more commonly in female Drandas and Drats (though it does happen in others), causing the nearly uncontrollable urge to groom one's fur. Sometimes this may be with a brush, paws, or even the Elemental's own tongue, but that last one is rather rare. When it does happen, an Elemental may throw up fur-balls, or if they don't, they may require surgery to extract the fur. More extreme sides of Grooming Syndrome could cause death if left untreated.

## Mental Shut Down

Sort of like an Emotional Shut-Down, but where certain parts of an Elemental's brain just stop working. There are varying degrees to this, but if it gets bad enough, an Elemental could simply revert back to their feral instincts with no way to get them back. They may lose the ability to speak normally (or at all), the ability to shift easily (or, again, at all) and their sense of empathy, depending on their element. Fire Elementals who Shut-Down tend to cannibalize.

## Abanism

Abanism is kind of like the Zanzus equivalent of Autism. It, like Autism, is a spectrum of symptoms and effects, but the most common effects are; refusing/trouble learning to speak as an Elet (IE. Communicating with noises only, perhaps even as an adult), showing intense primal fears (these often develop into anxiety, fear of their opposing Element, such as Plant Elementals to Fire to the point where the mention of fire sends them into a frenzy, etc.), discomfort with eye contact (Most common in Fire Elementals, it was definitely a challenge for them then), among other things.

## Feral Thinking Disorder

Feral Thinking Disorder, or FTD, is an uncommon, genetic condition that occurs when the parts of the Anthro Brain that control critical thinking and decision making are overpowered by the Feral part of the brain that do the same things. This can be because the Anthro part is weaker than usual, or because the Feral part is stronger than usual, but the outcome is typically the same depending on the Element. Their motor functions aren't typically affected, but they may occasionally struggle with walking in their Anthro forms when angered/frightened (depending on the Element).

For most Elements, the effect is more just making decisions quickly and not being very good at brain games, but for fire Elementals, it's a very harmful thing, especially if they get angry easily already. For Plant Elementals, they get incredibly jumpy and skittish, constantly apologizing and being submissive to larger Elementals, even if they've done nothing wrong.
Gameloft LPS App

The Gameloft LPS app is a microtransaction-filled playground in which ridiculous prices are foisted at players for such things as bling and kibble- which means pets, play areas, houses, and locations are costing ludicrous amounts. The show characters ask for modest things at first, but steadily upgrade their desires so it takes forever to progress. People love to complain about having to fork out a credit card to use this app, but what you really need is to use the app's secret bling-obtaining strategies.

**OH NO, MY KID CLICKED ON THIS BUTTON AND NOW I HAVE A $1,000 DOLLAR BILL! NO MORE LPS!**

For those of you whose kids clicked on buttons and sent a hefty charge to your credit card, you need to show them how not to click those buttons. Ever heard of a setting called "Restrictions"? Go there and turn off the in app purchases, doggonit! That will solve your problem!

**How to do a LOT of stuff in the Gameloft LPS app (besides using kibble)**

Search "lps app tokens" on any good search engine and scan whatever comes up. You'll get LOTS of bling, meaning you can do some more things with the game. Also, you can go to Dream Town (your default app friend) and collect hearts on a daily basis to save up hearts, which you can use for the more expensive pet care tools to make the pets super happy- or if your app friends want a blue turquoise bracelet, you can tap that button many times and get so much Bling!
Glaces

## Climate

Glaces is a snowy, mountain-filled continent. If it's not snowing, its blizzarding. Rarely ever do you see non-ice Elementals roaming around. No other element has evolved to withstand the freezing temperatures.

### Landmarks

#### Ignis Sea

Ignis Sea is actually more like a lake. It's the big hole in Glaces in the South East portion of the land, on the opposite side of Glacier Academy's island. The lake is used as a sort of coming-of-age thing. The lake is said to be so cold any other Elemental would freeze to death in moments.

##### Tradition

Ignis Sea is used for a tradition called "The Aging", where Elets, on the month of their 19th birthday, are put onto one side of the Sea and told to cross it via swimming. Those who survive are given a party with food, gifts, etc. Those who don't make it are also thrown parties, mostly in remembrance of them, because either way, they were still Elets, and therefore get to meet the Deities. Either way, they're receiving an honor.

 Their Culture

Glaces culture is over all considered strange compared to the rest of Zanzus. They have many myths and legends, due to their isolation from the rest of the planet for such a long time.

## Other

### Odd Facts

* The only other element that could hope to survive on Glaces for an extended period of time is, ironically enough, the Fire Drandas, because they (usually) have boiling blood and are covered in fur, making them decent candidates to survive the below-zero temperatures.
Russell Ferguson

Russell Ferguson (voiced by Sam Vincent) is a very devout Christian hedgehog (which is great, because it means he is a desperately needed clean cartoon guy). He's one of the BEST characters on the show, and off the set, he borrows Zoe's endless money supply and donates ten percent of it to church, Christian charities, and his favorite restaurant Chick-fil-A. The rest goes to Hobby Lobby and In-n-Out burger.

**Personality**

Russell is one of those people who voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 election. When he won, he was overcome with joy because we finally have a President who is not an underground crook. Russell seems to be Blythe's favorite pet, best friend, and, what's more, he actually cares about her as opposed to Zoe. In fact, he even won the dog show on that one episode simply because he's a good guy.

**Scent**

Due to his frequent trips to Chick Fil A, he smells like their waffle fries.

**Relationships**

It has been long speculated that Russell is related to Sonic the Hedgehog because they both became werehogs. Genetic science has confirmed this, which is a cause of joy for the LPS fandom.
Littlest Pet Shop: A World Of Our Own

I don't know why this has to waste air space on Discovery (supposedly) Family, but apparently some airhead decided, "Let's make a new show in the Littlest Pet Shop franchise, but instead of witty, clever, and funny, we'll make it babyish and add **even more** product placement! Plus, we'll copy every single episode from the other show and not even try to be creative."

It is **not** toy sales that make an enjoyable show, but writers that strive to be creative and wholesome. There are three iffy characters (Jade, Roxie, and Trip) rather than just one (Sunil).

This atrocity should've been scrapped.

**The "Plot" (if there even is any plot at all)**

The "plot" is comprised of stolen 2012 LPS episodes, product placement, and annoying characters that have lackluster character development.
Beast Hunters

## Career

### Qualifications

Over 18 years old (Sometimes minors above 16 are accepted by schools if they show promise),

### Payment & reimbursement

Hunters may be hired personally for specific jobs, but they generally spend most of their time eliminating Monsters. It's sort of like volunteer work.

## Perception

### Purpose

Since parasitic creatures pose a threat, each in their own way, so these Hunters are trained to keep them at manageable numbers.

### Social Status

Being a Hunter is generally a highly respected position, seeing as it's so dangerous. Monsters are very intelligent, and are not afraid to kill. They don't hesitate.

## Operations

### Dangers & Hazards

Being a monster hunter is an extremely dangerous profession, seeing as you're hunting creatures that could not only kill you, but some could get you to kill yourself.
Shipping

Shipping is the favored pastime of every LPS fan that is over the age of five. It is a massive waste of time because shippers are always wrong and they disregard Hasbro's canon.

**How To Be A Successful Internet Shipper (WARNING: SATIRICAL)**

**Step One: Find A Couple**

When you are shipping, you're obviously perpetrating a pairing. To find a couple you can plaster with millions of video editor effects, you can use one of three strategies: rely on your feelings (which doesn't make anything canon), find an image of two characters hugging or something, erase the context, and just call it "ship confirmed!" (which is NOT confirmed, because you're not Hasbro), or seize a pairing that seems to be canon, willfully ignorant of Hasbro's plans to scrap it in a while.

**Step Two: Find Images Of This Couple**

I already mentioned this a little in step one, but if you've got a pairing, you need some images for it. You can either capture some pictures from random episodes of the show, or, if there are no show images because you either need more shocking ones or you're pairing a show character with an OC, fan art. Remember, good shippers make the fan art as dumb as possible.

**Step Three: Cover Your Images With Effects, Then Add A Song That Sounds Like It Came From The Hallmark Channel's Movies**

Launch any powerful video editing software and open your files. First, skim through the entire image effect library and choose from the most irritating ones. Popular shippers must cause seizures! When your images are tinted with obnoxious shades of pink, red, and purple and covered with grating hearts flying across the screen, you need a saccharine love song to go with them. The easiest way to do that is to watch any given Hallmark movie, listen for romantic music, and then slap it on your work.

**Step Four: Post Your Video On The Internet, Then Whine, "Hasbro, PLEEEEEEEASE MAKE MY PAIRING CANON!"**

There's really nothing to it! If you sound really, really, REALLY desperate for Hasbro to step in and say "Okay, this ship is confirmed canon", then a bunch of other rampaging teens will come along and fill the comments section with their whimpering and carrying on.

**Step Five (Optional): Make A Fanfic To Support Your Pairing**

Many respected shippers create fanfics, or little stories, to support their ship. When making a fanfic, be sure to have it as mushy as possible. Make it humorous in the beginning, but plummet right down to a sinister ending. The LPS fandom will go into a feeding frenzy over your work!
Russell Wears A MAGA Hat-Donald Trump Puts Him In Charge Of Building The Wall

*Russell Wears A MAGA (Make America Great Again) Hat- Donald Trump Puts Him In Charge Of Building The Wall* is a fake episode, but Donald Trump really wants it to be real because he wants that wall done.

**Plot**

Russell Ferguson tries on a Make America Great Again hat to show everyone how much of a conservative hedgehog (and AWESOME hedgehog, at that!) he can be. Donald Trump watches our hero all the way from Washington D.C. and says, "Russell, my spiny boy, you are going to build this wall!"

The President and the hedgehog work together to build a wall along the southern border to keep the nutjobs out. Russell then pulls out an EXPO marker to write "Southern Border Wall: Keep Out Unless You Come Legally". At that point, the illegal immigrants are so terrified of this writing that they flee from the southern border, and America is great and secure again!
