TLDRluvitans incorporate both scales and fur on their bodies and resemble more of a human civilization. they have small unuseable wings, and their talons sit lower. they are hated by other flulearta because they have a deeper connection with humans.
<3Luvitan are one of the most different looking from their origins; they have a patch of scales on their chest that connects to the fur around their neck, and then fur on their groin. Their Bird-like talons start lower on the leg and are smaller than a normal flulearta. They have two sets of horns, long ears, furry claws, and tails mainly made of scales with patches of fur on them. Very small wings which are not usable and black sclera. These features are mainly for aesthetics and work for courting.You see Luvitan are the only Flulearta community who are very interested in humans, which leads to them mimicking human culture. These are the only Flukearta who don't follow strict rules around intercourse or romantic love. It's normal for Luvitan Mates to raise their young, though to keep their numbers manageable one couple is only allowed to have one child.They also are bilingual, speaking both English and Quilish. Luvitan live in above-ground cities in large grass Plains, their cities are very large and bright. They incorporate a lot of art into their building structure while also letting nature thrive, by planting trees, vines and various other plants all over their cities. Even letting them grow on their buildings. Their differences cause them to be disliked by other flulearta, and are often not even allowed to cross some flulearta borders.A common insult thrown at them is "human lovers" which is a very offensive phrase. When it comes to getting their 2nd and 3rd set of markings it's very difficult for Luvitan, since they have to cross several territories to get to the crystal tree. And that they need to go so often and not ever 300 years or so in groups. So they either decide to not get their new markings or hide themselves during the treacherous journey.
TLDRflulearta become attached to non-flulearta, and when away from this person they could die
<3This is a taboo subject in Flulearta society due to both love (romantic) and humans being hated. an Attachment is when a Fluearta becomes emotionally clung to a non-flulearta, mainly humans. This results in potential romantic feelings and “corruption” of the flulearta’s heart. (The attachment can also form without romantic feelings and can be a platonic or familial based relationship. Tho its less common) Flulearta becomes highly loyal and loving towards the human, they will protect this human with their lives. Attachments have no known way to get rid of, it’s mostly a permanent thing. Well, other than one party dying… actually there is a chance that attachments can lead to a fatality, it's quite common for other flulearta to kill the human, to “save” their friend. Or even the Flulearta killing the humans themselves if they are treated atrociously. - This is uncommon because years of torment and trauma need to accrue. The Flulearta can also literally die of heartbreak, let me explain. When away from their human for too long can cause a chain of events and a miscommunication between their magic and their brain. Flowers begin to grow on their skin. This is painful which causes more flowers to grow. Eventually, flowers can grow in their organs and veins killing them.
lastly when an attachment is formed for some a large amount of power is released, causing flowers to pop on their head, etc (not painful) wind to blow harshly around them, etc.
<3-The Motherland-This is where the 'original' Flulearta's live, and where the crystal tree and ruler are. They reside in a large oak forest, with tons of wildlife. There are also a lot of large caverns here, all of which are connected through a complex tunnel system. This territory is fairly accepting of other Flulearta Subspecies. This is considered the birthplace of all Flulearta species and is highly respected. Most subspecies try to stay on their best behavior here, and war is Never fought here. Though this doesn't mean the motherland people don't fight, just out of their territory.-The Wailing Mountains-This is a large range of massive mountains, a lot of which have ravens, caverns, and caves all over them, which causes a 'wailing' sound to originate from the wind that flows through the mountains. This is where a lot of natural springs reside, and have amazing views. Even though this place would make a great vacation spot, Ezines do not like their home being capitalized and commercialized. So other flulearta get kicked off the land if they do not have direct business there. Due to the constant wailing of the mountains rumors spread among the younger flulearta. They tend to think that it's cursed and that's why you don't see Ezines often.- Death Valley-A desert that covers half of the Great Valley it is hot and dry, much of what you would expect from a desert. during the winter coming here may be a good escape from the cold but the summers are ruthless. all who live here live often underground making the areas above desolate and lifeless. the behemoths here are cold-blooded and venomous. most are small, but a few can hold water within their bodies making them much much larger, and more dangerous. sixvies often advertise their home during the winter as a tourist destination to get out of the cold. the small winding caves and natural springs make a fun place for children.-The Great Valley-
the valley that covers the other half of the Great Valley, this area lacks its weight in caves. so its residents luvitans live above ground in human-like cities. the landscape is plain and grassy, lots of wildflowers and few trees grow here. not a lot of other flulearta come here, as they do not like the human-accepting nature of the cities. and they have a prejudice against luvitans. the behemoths are smaller here, and the majority can fly.-the jungle-
this area is one of the largest territories, and it's a dense rainforest, with a wide variety of wildlife and plants. cities are small and spread out, they can be seen for miles, all up in the treetops. zustzals do not capitalize on their land, taking offense that other flulearta don't see the importance of their homeland. this area is the most dangerous of all the territories. not only does it have hostile flulearta, but the behemoths have adapted to the environment, bringing variety, in both size and ability. that's why zustzals live so high in the trees.-coasts-
TLDRshapeshift, are strong, can manipulate nature, can heal, and telepathically speak.
<3The Abilities that a Flulearta carries are something out of a fictional novel. Their most prominent ability is how they can shapeshift, into any living thing breathing thing. It’s quite convincing too, you could barely tell that they were once well a flulearta, the only noticeable difference is their markings. No matter what they transform into they still have their markings. they can telepathically talk, heal themselves and others, have an incredible sense of smell, and they can rip through anything with their teeth and claws. They also can be incredibly smart, learning languages and fighting techniques are usually a breeze for a Flulearta.They don't cry, instead, their voice sounds like multiple speaking, it becomes more intense the more distraught they are. they can cry, this is rare and causes a destructible mist to surround them, vines and destructive plant life will grow around them. If they are in such a heightened state of distraught, panic, and other negative emotions can cause a behemoth will form from the mist. their connection to nature has given them the ability to make plant life flourish. They can use this to their advantage and create things like vines to use. they can solidify magic and manipulate it in various ways, making portals, barriers, showing memories, etc. But this ability seems to be one that needs practice to grow and it’s hard to learn, so only elder researchers tend to have mastered this.
TLDRchildren are raised by caregivers, mature at 18, and are all biologically female. best pairs are set up to make new generations.
<3Flulearta likes to keep their numbers small, and they don't have sexual relations at all. all Flulearta are biologically Female, though they can change their reproductive organs through shapeshifting. Which allows them to reproduce. Anyways, the only time that any sexual relation that -should- happen is when a Flulearta is asked to. They desire strong generations and to become better as they go. Which means they carefully pair two people together. That is it, after the child is born they are given to caretakers and raised there. In some cultures, the parents can raise the child, but it's very uncommon and looked down upon. (authors note- no incest)Flulearta babies have their “full-body”, nothing shapeshifted or changed, As to those abilities are taught. Their horns and wings showcase their maturity and are a way to quickly guess how old A Flulearta child is. Their wings are small and delicate in the beginning, Only less than a quarter of their height. But as Flulearta ages and matures, their wings grow rapidly and can grow up to ½ times their height. Flulearta horns act in a similar way, young children have fuzzy nubs for horns, and as they age their horns grow to their full length. That length and shape depend on genetics. Flulearta children’s bodies become fully grown and mature by the age of 25. Though they are not considered full adults until the age of 18, due to the brain maturing at a later date, similar to humans.When a Flulearta is fully mature they are expected to be educated enough to start training to become part of society by taking the desired role. The main two roles are Hunters/guards or Caretakers; these roles set up the foundation of their societies. And come with their own stigmatizations. The two ‘jobs’ come with similar perceptions of gender roles in human societies. With hunters being seen as strong, violent, and physically capable, caretakers are seen as nurturing, caring, and kind. Funny enough, Hunters also have another thing in common with men, they tend to look down on their counterparts. Anywho, Flulearta children are expected to choose a role and train for it. When they are ready to move on from the education stage and migrate into the broader society a special ritual is performed.This ritual is only performed by trusted elders of the community and is very important. it is complex and painful. Here the ready Flulearta will get their next set of markings, the one on their chest. This ritual regains their power and amplifies it to their desired profession. It also provides a way for those who were born weaker or with no power at all to catch up with the rest. This is the last preparation for the expected next long portion of their life. (they can train for a different profession at a later date and go through this ritual again)Growing up, Flulearta children are put into groups of 10-17 with one or two Caretakers looking after them. It is the caretakers' job to raise, teach, feed, and look after the children. Emotional support and love come from both caretakers and peers. This helps their communities build strong bonds, due to all children being the same age. Though this way of raising children has its own backlashes due to children often not getting the attention they need and it is easy for some to be outcasted. This way of raising children also takes down individuality quite a bit. And pushes the idea that you have to become what is expected of you. It puts a lot of stress on young children. Talking about education, for flulearta their education can start as early as two years of age. Though having a strict childhood, well, having a childhood is important. Children are able to enjoy toys and have fun most of these days, and they do get breaks from education from time to time. An often activity that I’ve seen is that as a treat, Caregivers will take their children out of the facility that they live in. and the kids will get to spend time exploring the outside world. Often taking them outside the caves to let them play in nature. Of course with the help of hunters to keep the children safe.

This is just general info that didn’t fit in the flow of the document.-Flulearta can love and all that stuff it’s just that they don't want too-Flulearta do live in human civilizations but are hidden-humans don't believe that Flulearta exists- flulearta are more likely to have albinism than humans.-flulearta hate humans with a passion like really hate them, they are also deathly afraid of humans-birth defects do exist, one example is that they don't develop fur and instead develop scales in the fur areas.-Other kingdoms are not completely separate from the mainland and are still under its control. They do follow their laws, traditions, cultures, etc.-When a flulearta dies plant life will grow around them and consume anything near it if the death was in result of a fight.-more will be added when I remember
