How you can make a character in the world of Khimaer, if you wish to do so. Contact me (Auspice) if you have any questions!

Quick Guide
Things you need: (Bold: necessary. Normal: recommended. Italics: optional.)
 * Name (Google Translate helps)
 * Appearance
 * Minimum: Basic description, perhaps with eye color, hair color, skin color
 * Visual (optional): you can draw or commission/ask me to draw.
 * (My commissions aren't very set up but for this it'll probably be about 10 USD/hour, with 1-3 hours on a fully-rendered design and less than an hour for a colored sketch)

 * Chroma
 * Age
 * Height
 * Faction/Affiliation (Praeta, Unity, civilian, Iriae, none)

Note: your characters don't have all exist in the same era, like if you're making backstory characters.

Khimaerians (general)
In the current era, khimaerians are the only civilized race. They include humans, khimaera (and monsters), and espira.

Naming conventions: Anything goes, but I usually fiddle with Google Translate or whatever pops into my head. I have been favoring Greek for most of my characters. Iriae has homogenized global culture to a large degree, though, so any basis will do. Example: Peace translated to Greek is eiríni, and I fiddled with it a bit to change it to Eirien.

Some khimaerians may prefer to name their children in a way that reflects their heritage, however.

Here's a table with some characteristics of countries/factions. You may choose to create a character that is more or less in touch with their heritage. If you want to make your own small country, I am also fine with that.

Also, at about 8-10 years of age, their eyes will change to the color of their chroma.

Khimaera
Khimaera are usually still recognizable as the human they once were - their facial structure is usually similar. Other than that, anything can change. They might acquire characteristics of other animals, or have a mixture of organic and magical biology. Their numbers of eyes, limbs, etc. could change, as well.

Espira
Espira are creatures of entirely iether, having no organic biology (though one that controls plants may consider those to be part of its body. Technically, it is the iether within). You might consider a khimaera to be a fusion between the espira and the human.

There are no limits whatsoever on how an espira can appear. They are also usually of shapeshifting to some degree, as well as synthersion - fusion, essentially.

Monsters
Monsters are khimaera whose transformations were unstable, resulting in fragmenting of their minds. Typically, they are no longer recognizable as a human.

Anything is possible, within biological limits.
