Hollows (Dark and Light): Difference between revisions

== Appearance/Traits ==

Hollows can vary in appearance greatly depending on where they adapt but are often humanoid in form. Often their coloration tends to be a giveaway. Hollows are often colored in varying shades of grays or white on their skin depending on their soul, in a way that is inhuman. They also tend to lean into demonic, angelic and draconic appearance when not in a community. Changing as well depending on common values, like Light Hollows leaning more angelic. Communal Hollows who have made connections with others can often mistaken for other races so it is best to ask.

It is also seen that those that recall their memories of the past also tend to have a sort of ‘third eye’ in the same color as their true eye, whether it works or not varies on the being. They also tend to lean onto more draconic or ‘original traits’ such as unique horn shapes or certain wings shapes different from dragons.

 

 

== Origin ==

Hollows through ancient text have a connection to draconic beings, specifically those known as the ''‘Dragons who seek the stars’.'' It is written in old texts of the Tale of Sky and Void. The young twin gods that brought beast and beings into existence. Once one Kin unified by the earth, beings of many forms founded upon unity until a war caused by an ancient threat divided them amongst each other. The Gods in order to stop this split the beast in three. Yet the damage had already been done, so in turn the greatest curse was brought upon this race who had the most hate within their hearts. They divided them further into dark and light in hopes that one day they could reunite and find peace within themselves free of malice, a prophecy formed that one day they would reunite again as kin once more.

While some hollows were able to establish a place many had succumb to an ancient madness created by the being that cause their divide in the first place, it’s broken body seeking to never reunite them. The Hollows over time had many disagreements and divided themselves from their draconic kin, finding a new home on a small island. Yet despite overcoming some trials and paths to restore themselves and create a new home, eventually only a few scattered Hollows remain. Falling to desperation and despair as years went by. Much of their histories lost to time, much like their draconic kin who were slowly falling to a similarly ill fate.

 

== Culture ==

There are ruins located in some areas detailing their civilization after the war. Their civilization revolved heavily around worship and acceptance, hopes of prophecy for a new future where they all could be one again. Lone Hollows often follow the same pattern of drawing connections with communities nearby, mimicking styles with fragments of memory left. Many just try to find some sort of thing to make them whole as many are unsure about what they really feel. Hollows find attraction and comfort in places of the opposing thing they are, which often results in them living in what is seen as unusual places depending on their type. Ex: Light hollows living in dark woods or Dark Hollows in Valleys or mountains.

Hollows try to find joy and hope in purity and knowledge. They are capable of melding into other’s cultures quite easily if given the patience.
