Seraphim 101
Things to know about your invisible neighbors
[ Really, Zaveid just found he could type a lot into this thing and decided to make it public so maybe he won't have to explain he's not a ghost, or that he's really here, to someone again. Instead, just link it and go HEY. READ THIS THING.
So yes, it is typed. ]
so
some people might have noticed by now
but theres a couple invisible people here
okay
literally two
but that makes a couple
just saying
we arent ghosts
[ Anyone who's seen his texts, or texted with him, will recognize Zaveid's typing style. ]
we're called seraphim
think humans but were sort of half element
like fire water earth wind
those sort of elements
of course
home
theres seraphim that come in the shapes of dogs or cats
not to mention katz
so if we seem human and then there's something that really isn't human
it just goes with being what we are.
[ Looking at you, Dezel, with your shark teeth and weird lizard throat you've got going. ]
the whole thing with us being invisible
though
thats actually on humans
nothing about seraphim changed
its something about humanity that ended up with resonance going down
or suddenly needing it
i dont remember
it happened way long ago
Dark Age
I think humans call it?
wait
no
era of disappearance
thatd be it
probably
thats why some of you can see us
and some of you cant
and i guess why some of you think im an actual ghost
im not
i promise
i think id know if im dead
[ ... Zaveid that is terrible humor for someone who is pretty sure he is actually dead at home. ]
im a wind seraph
means im probably the cause of most of these indoor breezes and whatnot
or maybe its not me
because theres more than one wind seraph here
and i dunno if theres other people with wind powers about
so maybe dont go assuming its zaveid
that could be a problem
probably for you
anyway
dont worry about not being able to see us
for all i dont get why humans stopped being able to
resonance goes up the longer a humans around a seraph
so eventually you might be able to see us
probably
[ What else should he put in this? Ugh. ]
i unno
ask me shit if you need clarification
but thats the basics
were here
we aint ghosts
were just windy
[ Then there's little video clip, of the ceiling in one of the standard rooms. He might be there, but he didn't get caught on camera. His voice, however, is pretty clear. Even if your character doesn't normally have the resonance to see / hear him, they can hear him here. Thank your phone crew. ]
... Man, that could'a been so much easier if I recorded me sayin' it. Too late!

What's the difference between... cats and katz?
text
home
it kinda makes a bit of a mess of things sometimes
sometimes its damn handy
i would never get to try so many different kinds of food
[ Zaveid plz- ]
same difference between turtles and turtlz
cat looks like a cat
katz are kinda upright
and a little more human shaped
for some reason they have a fish on their tail
i dont think im supposed to ask about it
so i never did
no subject
not that I'd want to be that all the time that would be a pain, too
also that tells me... not a whole lot but i'll take your word for it and just assume it's similar to the different kinds of hylek in my world...
no subject
been literal ages since everyone could see me
hylek?
[ Gasp, a rare punctuation mark! ]
could try again
cats are actual cats
four legged
fluffy
hunt mice or rats
sometime clean your face while you sleep
katz stand on their hind legs
have a cat shaped head
but more human face on it
most are pink i think
and sometimes they hide out as a cat
[ Zaveid, that just sounds somewhat terrifying... ]
no subject
I suppose we'll have to find out
Hylek are large frog-like creatures from Tyria. They come in a lot of different shapes and have their own tribes, so saying you met a Hylek would probably be met with the question "which kind?".
So. Katz are... Charr. Sort of. Without horns and probably not as big?
[Wait he won't know what Charr are either.]
Charr are a race of feline-people from Tyria. But they have horns. No, I don't know why they have horns they just do. They're also huge.
no subject
yeah
katz are like
human brat sized
somewhere between knee and hip height
no horns that i know of
but uh
that sounds a little terrifying
no subject
sounds easy to put up with at least
charr aren't all that terrifying anymore really. maybe to my ancestors but that war is long behind us now
you want something really terrifying from my world try elder dragons and their minions
no subject
or two centuries
theyre really bad news
[ ... Topic derailed? Sure, war, behind them. Maybe they don't have things as long lived as he is. ]
to be honest
i am trying to wrap my head around a dragon not eating something
and leaving it as a minion
and it really isnt working
guess that makes yours scarier
since they can make that decision
no subject
theyve always had minions
they wake up every few centuries to eat the excess magic energy in Tyria
but its never a clean process and the result is usually just more of their corrupted minions roaming around causing problems
theyre also sentient enough to CREATE their own minions and have them even integrate themselves as a peaceful race for nearly thirty years
not that i blame the sylvari for any of it that was all mordremoth and a lot of the sylvari are fighting back against his control
but it hasn't been pretty
at all
no subject
[ Guess who is quietly glad that he didn't mention what can happen to seraphim in this post. Not like it was likely to happen here, he's got himself under wraps and the kid is ... fine for another half a century or so- ]
think you win
your dragons are worse
[ Because lets not dig into that hint he'd dropped about things becoming dragons- ]
no subject
id rather it not be a contest but youre right theyre pretty fucking awful
if nothing else ive learned we're not the only ones with this sort of problem, even if your dragons are still different
thats something to take comfort in, even minimally
