Profile[]
Basic[]
Stop thinking so much. Let’s go have fun!
- Main/Sub-weapon: Florang/Vitclari
- Combat Style: Support
Shais are a support class that has both combat and buff abilities. They have good basic evasion and are fast and nimble when evading and attacking their enemies. The main weapon of Shais is the giant boomerang, florang, which is used for combat. A mystical sub-weapon, vitclari, is used to heal and protect Shais and their allies. Anyone with a Shai probably has the same thought. She must be protected at all costs.
Awakening[]
Listen to my songs when you're scared! Toot! Toot! Do you feel better?
- Awakening Weapon: Sol
- Talent: Sol
- Combat Style: Support/Melee Mage
In the past, Shai lost her memory to the dark illusion. She is forced to face it once more but succumbs to fear and falls into despair. However, after receiving the Melody of Light from Artina, Shai discovered her talent for playing music and uses it to overcome her fears and assists surrounding allies. She learns the true value of music from Artina - Emotion, Purity, Joy - and inherits "Sol." Sol fuses with the vitclari to influence the surrounding area with mystical powers that changes depending on the songs played. If Shai uses the right song at the right time, she can be the helping hand her allies need.
Culture[]
The Shais are known as a very open and accepting people.
Thanks to their unending curiosity and the location of their village their society has developed a deep knowledge about medicine and herbs. Medicine made with local herbs and special Shai recipes is exported to all the major cities.[3]
Herbs verified to be safe can be traded with other cities and towns, while unverified varieties must be thoroughly tested prior to being shipped off. They have recently increased their trade of herbs with Olvia via the Florin Gateway.[4]
Shai girls are quite rude and usually talk in a most informal way. They are naturally bad at the pronunciations required to talk more politely. Educated Shai are able to master formal talk, but will still be straightforward about anything.[5]
They aren't considered a greedy people.[6]
Almost all Shai are so hasty and curious that reports abound of them getting sick from directly testing unknown herbs through ingestion. However, Shais don't even care about these side effects, even if part of their bodies change as a result. The only crucial thing satisfying their unbound curiosity.[7]
Every night under the moonlight Shais in Florin drink a cup of Sunrise Herb Tea on a nearby hill with a companion. With friends, it is a sign of friendship or reconciliation. With a lover, it is a sign of affection.[8]
Biology[]
Shai stop looking any older after a certain point, which makes identifying their age at simple glance a difficult task. Their average lifespan is around 40 years, but it can be prolonged with herbs.
They are usually considered to be girls because there as so few male Shai comparatively.[9]
Locations[]
The village of Florin is known as the home of the Shais.[10]
The race is found in all Human lands, from Calpheon in the west to Valencia in the east and some are even found in Haso.
