| “ | There's someone there! I see the shadow, so it cant be a Ghost... but it's not touching the floor... | ” |
Physical Description[edit]
Cloudshifters resemble fair skinned humanoids with pure black or dark gray eyes. Their skin seems to emit dark fog or mist at times, and the air around them is rarely dry. It gives them a misty appearance, and steam is seem sometimes coming out as they breath. Due to this precipitation, their hair often is wet. They do not like arid weather because this messes with their moisture levels. When they are angry, their hair is known to stand up due to internal electricity building from their particles speeding up, and their eyes flash like lightning. They can discharge this build-up via touch or conduction. This force can sometimes be utilized to help them momentarily float.
History[edit]
These gloomy and troubled people are believed to be imbued with the power of the Shōrōkaze. They are said to have formed from the sickly wind which caused the rest of the Continent to fall ill in famine and death. The people of the fog were cursed with their form, and their blood of ravenous fog and wind. The fogblood have historically been feared for their high combat prowess and affinity to the Shōrōkaze. Many have been driven away from fear and envy of the clan, if they could reach them in the first place. The Fogbound Lagoon and by extension, ocean, they live in is rumored to be littered with ravenous demons and spirits of the Shōrōkaze, Yokai.
Society[edit]
Cloudshifters live in villages of thirty or forty members at a time. The elders usually lead the group throughout their daily activities, giving out the roles and doling chores. The youth are usually trained in hand-to-hand combat as well as sword and bow skill. It is believed they bear the power of the Shōrōkaze from a curse transmitted throughout the bodies of the clan, and so many become Executioners or Ronin Asaemon. They are a fishing village, and the water they live near is unforgiving and cruel, often losing young to the high sea. The villages themselves are situated in marshes spread across a series of daunting mountain ranges, often reffered to as the Fogbound East, this land lives in tale and legend with the mainlanders and those in the north.
