Info about the wicker hybrid subtype HYBRIDS Hybrids represent a distinctive subtype that has some limitations on public availability. A hybrid design combines elements of a biological creature and a wickerbeast. Only specific artists who have undergone an application process or attained site-wide administrator status are permitted to create them. While most hybrids are non-canonical within the official lore of Osova, users are still encouraged to participate and incorporate them into the Osova setting. For instance, a fusion of a character from a fandom game and a wickerbeast may not be considered canon in the official lore, but you are welcome to include them in our universe or any universe of your choice. It's important to note that if a hybrid involves a magical creature, it will not gain the ability to use magic. Nonetheless, there are certain CANON hybrid designs that any user can create, which may not have been released yet or are currently in development. Please stay updated for further information! HOW hybrids really work When commissioning a hybrid, a hybrid has a specific set of rules that it must follow. All hybrids must have the following: Jagged smile & boxy muzzle 4 Hand claws Mix must be a biological creature Backwards facing ears (except for rabbit mixtures) Some sort of mane unless it has sphinx syndrome Pupil-less eyes with no iris Horns if the subtype it is mixed with has them. HYBRID limitations & notes We have a set of guidelines concerning the permissible attributes and traits for hybrids. These rules aim to ensure that the representation of the species is appropriate. The following limitations apply to hybrids: Hybrids must not possess offensive or controversial characteristics. For instance, hybrids like a king/baphomet or king/vishnu hybrid would not be sponsored. Only biological creatures are allowed to be a hybrid with a wicker. Nonbiological creatures, except for advanced droids which have their own set of rules, are not permitted. Hybrids must be a combination of exactly two creatures, but they can include another hybrid creature, excluding wickerbeast hybrids (e.g., a Labradoodle/Standard Wicker Hybrid). Traits considered "magical" are not allowed (e.g., breathing fire or a magical horn). However, certain natural biological tr aits, such as spores in plants or venomous fangs in snakes, are acceptable since they occur in real life. While feathered wings are not allowed, small amounts of feathers or fluff that mimic them to some extent are acceptable. More information on this is below this excerpt. Hybrids cannot be entirely composed of materials like wood, full slime, ink, or other textures. Glass parts are not allowed on any hybrid except for advanced droids (found here). However, they can have slimey or wood-like parts as components. Plushie wickers are not considered hybrids and can be made regularly. Mixes with other original species are not allowed unless approved by PineWarden and the other species creator. Exceptions to rules & requirements: Sphinx Syndrome (no mane, no fur) Rabbit ears or 'floppy' creature ears do not have to face backwards hybrid wings Mentioned earlier, wings are not a feature on normal wickers. On Hybrids, however, selected artists are allowed to give them certain types of fins/wings attached underneath the arm (not via back). This chart shows what type of wings are allowed on a hybrid. Full feathered wings are not allowed, but there are some exceptions for feathers. You can have up to 3-4 feathers on the elbow/under arm regions, head regions, upper tail (not tip) regions, and heel regions of a hybrid. You can also have elongated fluff under the arm span of a wicker to imitate wings. This type of fluff is only allowed on hybrids. Of course feathers are not the only type of wings / fins you can have! Hybrid wickers can have bat-like fins, flying squirrel-like fins/wings, and even insect styled. WHO ARE THE HYBRID ARTISTS?

The Language and Dictionary of Osova. VAEICK LANGUAGE While writing has never been the main form of communication between wickerbeasts, there is an alphabet known as Vaeick. The writing originates from the olden days on Osova, when mankind and monster lived together and stone was used to carve stories. It's unclear who wrote Vaeick. The language was developed so that wickerbeasts could eternally preserve their stories by using their claws to carve signs. THE ALPHABET a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z The alphabet consists of 26 signs, just like the human alphabet consists of 26 letters. Each sign is made up of smooth strokes or lines and dots. The language the signs are written in, is mostly English. DOTS & LINES GRID BASED LANGUAGE When looking at the dots, you’ll find them on a grid, like on the image. Every dot of a sign is placed on one of these grid-dots. More on this later, when every letter is shown on their grid. As you will be able to see, the only exception to the rule is the sign ‘C’; which falls off the grid. This is, because the sign has been added later. Before this sign was added, an ‘S’ or ‘K’ was used in its place. The lines of the signs are either straight, curved or a combination of both. When drawing a line, you use the dot grid to find where to start and stop a line. The basic shape of a line resembles a human alphabet letter quite closely most of the time! Just like human writing, wicker writing may vary. Some wickers are excellent writers and follow the grid precisely, others may use a more “free” hand when writing. LEARNING VAEICK Learning how to read wicker writing really isn’t that hard. A watchful eye can spot the similarities between the human alphabet and the wicker signs within seconds. This is why reading wicker writing is much easier than writing the signs. You’ve already read the theory behind the design and basic shape of the signs. Below you’ll find a more detailed image of each sign and their place on the grid. If you want to purchase the font face, you can buy it from Reno (our lovely author) here. Part 1 of Vaeick Part 2 of Vaeick Part 1 of Vaeick glossary of terms fera The general wildlife term for Osova. This is all encompassing for animals. Verdants Traditional wickerbeasts who reject technological advances of the galvanic era. plera The general plant wildlife term for Osova. This is all encompassing for plants. OSHARI A species of cow-like creatures that are raised for food, heavy lifting, and travel. They stand on two legs and have flipper-like arms in the front. Typically, Oshari have plated faces and three eyes. They have tail feathers, and a crest jewel in the middle of their chest. Skitadel A species of lizard-like creatures that are raised for heavy lifting, and travel. They stand on four legs and have long narrow reptillian faces. They are the natural predator of Oshari, however, if fed regularly and tamed, will typically leave Oshari alone. Vaeick The wickerbeast language. The language mimicks the english alphabet and has 26 letters. Vipera (Ꞩ) The wickerbeast currency, otherwise known as Ꞩ. Coins are gold or silver in color and come in dollar and cent amounts. Beserker's DISEASE A wickerbeast disease that develops as a result of years of malnutrition from famine-like conditions. Due to a wicker beast's headstrong nature, Berserker's Disease can exacerbate this into constant aggression accompanied with: poor cognitive skills, mania, and loss of sleep. Sphinx syndrome (sps) A hereditary disease unique to wickerbeasts is known as Sphinx Syndrome. This disease is where a wickerbeast will be born hairless and deaf. Sphinx Syndrome wickers can be born with horns but the horns are typically small or will break easily. Vipera's Trial It is something that a wickerbeast claims out loud when challenging another wickerbeast to 1 on 1 combat. This is usually a fight to the death and is more common in rural factions. The individual who wins will collect whatever items and money the opponent has and typically the respect of the rest of the community. It is an old practice and not always honored. hidden trail Keywords for "banned market" where individuals sell banned goods and more nefarious things like hunted wickerbeast parts or dangerous fera. Typically ran by humans, however some tougher (or evil) wickerbeasts and Etekoi partake in selling or buying goods from here. The market tends to move around to avoid being discovered by authorities. Remembrance eve The 27th of December. It is a day for remembering those who have been lost over the year and those who have been a large part of an individual's journey. GALIVAESTICE Pronounced "Gal-IH-VAE-stice." It is the winter celebration and the equivalent to what would be considered modern day pagan Christmas or other winter celebratory holidays. It is held on the 23rd of December. armistice eve This day is what is commonly referred to as New Years Eve for Osova. It is the day before the Day of New Souls, December 31st. This eve is filled with partying and is a large day for drinking and celebration. Many will come to Grandesburg specifically for this day to experience the celebration. Day of New SOULS This day is what is commonly referred to as New Years Day for Osova. It is held on the first of the year, January 1st. Emberling A wickerbeast term for "having butterflies" or heavy love feelings towards another. This can also mean someone does not have a good feeling about something (e.g., "I don't have a good emberling about this.") wickerlings The simplest terms for baby wickers. The other simplest term is to call them what they are: children. king's court A clutch of kingbeast hatchlings. Moon wisps Firefly-like glowing spores that come from the moon mushroom. These are considered to be representations of wickerbeasts who have passed. maneless A derogatory word primarily used towards other wickerbeasts that means 'cowardly' or 'spineless.' ETEKOI A lemur-like anthropomorphic species that live in the world of Osova. They have elemental powers among the lines of fire, ice, and wind. These creatures can also be skilled in healing powers.

what is a wicker? Unlike their human neighbors, The wickerbeast are a reptilian troll-like creature that lives in the world of Osova. They come in a wide variety of colors, sizes, genders, and subtypes. This page will guide as a starting point to help you create your wickerbeast effectively and participate in the large world of Osova! All images below are to be used for reference purposes only. basic body structures Skeleton The skeleton of a wickerbeast is incredibly dense in order to support their large mass. Overall, the skeleton can weigh 20% of a wicker's weight. This can ensure heavy impact damage to an enemy if a wicker charges. To counter this, the skeletal system is comprised mainly of compact bone. The jagged structure of their mouth allows for a high pressure force and extra grip. Once a wicker's jaw has a hold of something it will lock into place which is bad news for any prey a wicker may catch hold of. As they go through old age, are susceptible to things such as arthritis and hip dysplasia more so the King sub-typing due to having such a massive body. Blood System Wickerbeasts have a four chambered heart like humans do. The heart takes in deoxygenated blood from the body, sends it to the lungs to become oxygenated, the blood comes back to the heart, where it will then be pumped to the rest of the body. Wicker blood will match the eye color. If the eye is a gradient, it is one or the other color. Muscular System & Health Wickerbeasts are essentially walking tanks with the musculature to match the title. Their strong thighs act as a powerhouse of energy in their body. Combining this with their sturdy hind-legs and they have the capability of producing long running strides (up to 25-35 mph) for maximum impact along with great leaps. The tail is one long, thick muscle in itself which is used as both a weapon and to keep their balance when charging. The tail enables very abrupt acute turns in combat and travel. Weapon wise, wickers will use their tail as whip or club to throw their whole body into motion. The end result of the opponent can be paralysis or even death depending on how hard the hit was. Wickerbeast limbs are just as powerful. Their thighs enable them to master heavy weaponry such as axes. It also allows them to travel long distances and work much longer than the average human could. Disease A hereditary disease unique to wickerbeasts is known as Sphinx Syndrome. This disease is where a wickerbeast will be born hairless and deaf. Sphinx Syndrome wickers can be born with horns but the horns are typically small or will break easily. The appearance of one with sphinx is that of pale, wrinkled skin. If a wicker manages to make it to adulthood with this disease it will require additional aid for their quality of life. Sphinx syndrome wickers will benefit to have hearing aides, heavy duty armor and weaponry, and communicate via sign language. These wickers are able to have young, but the chances of one being born with the disease increases by 25%. Berserker's Disease is one while unique to wickerbeasts. The disease develops as a result of years of malnutrition from famine-like conditions. Due to a wicker beast's headstrong nature, Berserker's Disease can exacerbate this into constant aggression accompanied with: poor cognitive skills, mania, and loss of sleep. Even with proper nutrition into later years, enough internal damage has caused permanent scarring to the brain and will continue to have the disease. Beserker's Disease turns hereditary when a pregnant female is involved. Due to lack of nutrition from the mother, there will arise a possibility of the egg being underdeveloped. As a result, the hatchling that is born may have their brain damaged. The hatchling will display physical traits of being underweight or smaller than the average size of their sub type. a wicker's are pupil-less! The appearance of Wicker eyes varies between single colors and gradient hues. The species retain relatively good eyesight despite lacking an iris. The eye is mostly one big pupil to allow a greater amount of light to enter the eye. This allows the creatures to see in UV light and process the regular three channels of color. At night, eyes also exhibit retro reflection (reflected light in dim areas) or in some cases glow in the dark. Many wicker parents seek moderately lit areas to give birth due to their sensitive eyes at birth. This action minimizes their risk of accidental blindness. In priority of senses, the sense of smell and hearing still are actively the most relied on for them. approvable eyes rEJECTED eyes Eyes should have no shapes or pupils. They can have very small shaped highlights (Must be a lighter color like white). THE CLAWS Wicker claws are some essential tools for many things like work, foraging, brawling, and even artwork. The claws on the hands are the actual fingers of wickerbeast. The claws have a small bone piece and a nerve ending. These claw bones are covered by a sheath of keratin. Wicker claws can bend to hold objects. Wicker claws grow until adulthood and then do not grow anymore. The tips of the claws are able to be shaved and even be sharpened. Claw painting is a lovely practice done during court seasons for a mate. Claws might have little designs or patterns painted on them during that time. A wicker's jagged jaw is one of the signature traits of the species. This jaw allows for a vice grip over prey as it can lock on. If truly motivated in a life-or-death scenario or hunting scenario, a wicker will not let go til they succeed with the outcome. The insides of a wicker's mouth is a slightly acidic saliva that can break down food as it goes down the throat. It has a numbing sensation to the prey. The tongue can be forked (hereditary) or normally pointed at the tip. Wicker teeth and jagged jaw points are incredibly sharp. The teeth of a wicker are serrated at the back edge like a shark's teeth would be. Wickers make alligator-like rumbles most times but can range to clicking sounds like a bird. They like to mimic sounds in almost a corvid-like manner. reproduction & life when a mommy & daddy love each other- Don't worry, we'll spare you the birds and the bees talk. That's for your parents - not us! However, jokes aside, wickers still have to reproduce in the big world of Osova to make the world go round. WHAT DOES A WICKER EGG LOOK LIKE? In the first and second images above, these are examples of land dwelling wicker eggs. A wicker egg will be generally a light color of your choosing with darker speckles casted over the shell. The third image of the green egg is an example of swamp and pelagic eggs. These eggs are see through and have a jelly-like texture. Swamps lay them in shallow non-moving bodies of water while pelagics lay them amongst clusters of coral and under-sea plant life. Generally, the subtypes are sometimes able to be told by the egg sizes themselves however it is not the most accurate way. That big egg might in fact be a 7-9 pound rogue. Who knows? INCUBATION PERIODS Mainland and swamp wickerbeasts also differ in how they have their young. The two classes have separate gestation periods: mainland being three to four weeks with swamp being typically two weeks. A healthy mainland wicker will normally produce 5-6 eggs for their clutch while a swamp wickerbeast has 2-5 at a time. A wicker egg will take 14-40 days to hatch. Any subtype can breed with another subtype. The offspring would not be a hybrid - like a king/swamp offspring for example would either be a king or a swamp in the egg. Not a mix of them. lifespan A wicker can reach anywhere between 150-200 years of age, sometimes a little more. Wickers do not age like humans do. Usually, the beginning of a wickerbeast's life is fast in growth and the rest of its life is very slow aging. A wickerbeast's childhood is from ages 1-4 years old. Their teenage life is from 5-10 years old. A wickerbeast is a "younger" adult from the ages 10-20, and then after the age of 20 they are considered a mature adult. HORN GROWTH Newborn: Baby nubs, embedded a bit into head. 6 months: Tiny nubs, sprouting from head. 1 year: Slightly larger nubs, sprouting from head. 1 year, 6 months: Horns start taking shape, stop at base of ear. 2 years: Horns still taking shape, stop at mid ear. 2 years, 6 months: Horns generally have taken shape, stop at mid ear if curled ram horns and then start extending towards jaw. 3-4 years: Usually fully grown horns at this point. Longer horns could take 3-6 years to develop depending on the shape (antlers for example would take longer). HORNs Their horns are very similar to how their claws are. These appendages that sprout from the wicker's head all start with a small bone piece that connects to the skull. The rest of the horn however is very hard keratin and can at times be broken. A wickerbeast horn will grow back over 3-6 years. Horns can grow back unless ripped from the base of the growth. Horns are solid colors, gradients, and typically matte or a little shiny in texture. They can be segmented shapes as well. Though a wicker will have no more than two sets of horns (4). There should only be two on each side of the head at most and they will be the same shape unless they are a dweller. They do not grow cheek spikes. Wickers can also have small nose horns though they are most common on the dweller subtype. Nose horns are perfectly okay to have along with horn sets. A nose horn counts as a horn. no flights Wickers as a species do not have wings and cannot grow them. There are some exceptions that can however be seen on the hybrid page. The wickers body is typically too heavy to fly which is a reason why wings have never been a feature along with some early species agreements. Aerions however can glide for short periods. However, you can give your wicker accessories. By that, we mean that the wings need to have a harness or strap shown in order to "have wings." Wickers cannot have robotic wings on them as the limitations and features on robotics are still being developed. height chart Wickers have many heights and body types. A wickerbeast can be a stronger body type, a softer body type, or even a petite body type. Heights are similar in that they have a wide range to choose from. These are averages for the species and there can be outliers. If you want a tall rogue, that is more than acceptable. These wickerbeasts can be anywhere from 200 to 4000 pounds. wicker subtypes Aerion The only wickers that can glide. Read More Pelagic Wicker cousins to swamps that live in the ocean.

SEA & RIVER LIFE What exists in the murky depths? Monsters? Fish? Treasure? To be updated. Banner image done by the lovely ThatCreatureJuk OSOVIAN FISH GHOULDFISH Freshwater The Ghouldfish appears to be a significantly hypertrophied variant of common goldfish. Its exaggerated size likely results from unique environmental factors or a specific genetic anomaly, leading these fish to be nearly immortal unless killed. TIGERFISH Salt & Freshwater Despite its common name, the Tigerfish's biology aligns more closely with catfish, evidenced by its barbels (whiskers) which serve as sensory organs for navigating murky waters. Its striped pigmentation likely functions as camouflage. It makes almost a purring sound when threatened. KNOBHEAD TETRA Freshwater The Knobhead Tetra exhibits a pronounced cranial protrusion, suggesting a possible adaptation for competition (display or combat), enhanced sensory perception, or even a specialized organ housed within the bump. Still researching. OBLONG SURFACE GULPER Saltwater Its elongated body shape likely reduces drag in both water and air. This gives it a unique surface-skimming behavior and potential advantage to escape from aquatic predators. STRANgE FISH LOVER'S FISH Saltwater FRILLED SKIPPER Salt & Freshwater The Lover's Fish showcases exaggerated, heart-shaped fins which potentially play a role in mating displays. Not much is known of it due to the high pressure it lives under. These are very combative angry fish. These prominent, fleshy fin extensions are not just for display or respiration, but also house specialized glands that produce potent toxins. A sting from this guy can paralyze for a few hours. tO BE DISCOVERED Saltwater Research pending. TO BE DISCOVERED Saltwater Research pending. ABYSSAL MONSTER Based on the limited "sightings," one could speculate on some aspects of the Abyssal Monster's biology. Its seal-like body suggests it might be a mammal, possibly an evolved pinniped adapted to deeper waters. The two horns could be bony protrusions used for defense, display, or even sensory purposes in the low-light abyssal zone. However, without further evidence, these remain purely speculative interpretations of its unique physical characteristics. Essentially, this monster is folklore until proven otherwise.

Cultural Practices These are some of the cultural practices of Osova. These can include holidays and various tidbits about wickerbeasts. Banner image done by the lovely Sylphite. COURTING practices Courting practices are different for every wickerbeast. Typically, wickerbeasts are creatures of grandeur. They love displays of affection and typically large ones. It is a great time for a wicker to show their talents. Some will dance, some will sing, some will write, and even some will show large displays of strength. Sometimes, it can be simpler, like a Wicker displaying their bioluminescence at night or doing something regal with their mane. The possibilities are endless. What would your wicker do for love? OOOH... SHINY! Sometimes we are all simple minded creatures. Wickerbeasts are no different. These lizards have a tendency to love shiny things or small objects. Wickerbeasts are collectors at heart and love to show off their assets and interests. Sometimes, Wickers will gift these objects to one another in a show of admiration. forever... and ever... and eve- Following courting practices is the ultimate act of love: marriage. There's no tax benefits here in Osova - so if a wicker is getting hitched, it's truly for love and love alone. Wickerbeasts do the tradition of rings. However, these rings can be many sizes and many places. Some get small ones and wear them as earrings, some get a 'tail' band, some wear them over their claws, and some wear them as bracelets. CAN WE KEEP EM'? The age old question that every parent gets when a child comes home with an animal. Wickerbeasts have many variations of pets. The most common types of pets include snakes, reptiles, birds, oshari, rabbits, cats, and dogs. There are many more creatures in Osova but these are the most commonly domesticated. Wickers will also commonly use birds to send messages to other regions. religion Wickerbeasts worship multiple gods. Their main god that they worship is named Idris - the god of the sun and light. Other gods that they worship are: Vipera - God of prosperity & wealth. Asmodai - God of the underworld & the dead. Udri - God of spirits (alcohol) & ritual madness, parties. Cidolfus - God of seafaring & the ocean. Imperia - God of the moon & stars. Morden - God of courage, war, and strength. Sephiran - God of fertility, love (all types), and beauty. It is not uncommon however for a Wicker to devote themselves completely to one of these gods. This list and info may be updated. to the stars While Wickerbeasts are not a spacefaring species, there are admirers of the beautiful balls of gas above them. Wickerbeasts have constellations for every god that they worship. The world of Osova also commonly believes that if a wicker has found true honor in their life, a wicker will end up amongst the stars with Imperia. Shooting stars are seen as a sign from Imperia guiding a wicker on their path or a sign of acknowledgement. Wicker children like to wish on stars and hope that their dreams are realized by Imperia. Solar and lunar eclipses are noted as Idris and Imperia fighting over power to rule. VIPERA currency The wickerbeast currency, otherwise known as Ꞩ. Coins are gold or silver in color and come in dollar and cent amounts. Vipera comes in gold for these amounts. Ꞩ100. Ꞩ50 Ꞩ20 Vipera comes in silver for these amounts. Ꞩ10 Ꞩ5 Ꞩ1 Ꞩ0.50 Ꞩ0.25 Wicker currency keeps prices to where they do not need any coins under 0.25 value. Vipera has two sides, heads and tails. Vipera that is worth 100 in value will sometimes have a special 'back' to it that can be collectable and gain additional value over time. WINTER CELEBRATIONS Remembrance Eve The 27th of December. It is a day for remembering those who have been lost over the year and those who have been a large part of an individual's journey. Individuals spend time at home and not on the streets in honor of it. Galivaestice Pronounced "Gal-IH-VAE-stice." It is the winter celebration and the equivalent to what would be considered modern day pagan Christmas or other winter celebratory holidays. It is held on the 23rd of December. It is a time to gift give, celebrate, and spend time with loved ones. (Holiday dedicated after Galileo , a friend of PineWarden.) Armistice Eve This day is what is commonly referred to as New Years Eve for Osova. It is the day before the Day of New Souls, December 31st. This eve is filled with partying and is a large day for drinking and celebration. Many will come to Grandesburg specifically for this day to experience the celebration. Day of New Souls This day is what is commonly referred to as New Years Day for Osova. It is held on the first of the year, January 1st.

The galvanic (future) era of Osova. The Galvanic Era is Osova’s age of uneasy recovery. After Kaelen’s defeat and imprisonment, the world is clawing its way back from ruin. After Kaelen’s imprisonment and the collapse of Crystalithium veins, Osova faced an existential crisis. Cities could not survive without energy, and the ecosystem was too damaged to support old ways of life. Out of this desperation came the Galvanic Core, a volatile mixture of the Crystalithium element and a new element called Voltrium. Cities now glow with neon circuitry built atop cracked ruins, while old clans cling to fading traditions. The Imprisonment of Kaelen Charter was in charge of deciding Kaelen's imprisonment. Kaelen wasn’t seen by Charter as something fearsome. Instead, he looked past the sharp edges and noticed a person underneath the villain that he was. Instead of a quiet cell, Charter worked directly with him to understand why he was the way he was and why he did what he did. At first, Kaelen tried to justify his actions. Then, Charter showed him Osova as it was. As they traveled, they encountered rows of corpses, villages destroyed, and desecrated landscapes. Kaelen was given unrestricted access to Osova’s recovery data to see death tolls, ecological collapse maps, refugee migrations, and fera extinction records. He was required to analyze it all and process what he had done. He was by no means forgiven by the grand populace, but he was forced to understand the gravity of his rule. He has since been in 'recovery' in an unknown location. It is rumored that in his imprisonment, he does research towards the ecological betterment of Osova and reports directly to the Chamber of Three. He has no public presence, no political authority, and no direct contact with the average civilian. There is a large debate amongst the grand populace whether he should have received execution instead. The Chamber of Three Formed after Kaelen’s imprisonment, the Chamber of Three became the central governing body of Osova. It is composed of equal representatives from Humans, Wickerbeasts, and Etekoi, with Charter serving as Head Councilman. The council’s mission is to stabilize Osova through cooperative reconstruction, regulate resources effectively, and ensure no single faction seizes dominance again. But its decisions are constantly mired in debate about resources, about Kaelen, and most of all, about the nature of Osova's life itself. The Question of Droids Built to resemble real Wickers but with artificial intelligence and Crystalithium engines, Advanced Droid Wickerbeasts and Robotic Wickerbeasts were created as enforcers during Kaelen's rule. Many of these droids survived Kaelen's fall; some were deactivated, some wandered, and some even repaired themselves. These creatures are now at the epicenter of the ethical and political conflict of the Galvanic era. Droids, according to some, are just Kaelen's tools and should be discarded. Others maintain that they are just as much "alive" as any other living thing because of their autonomy, memory, and capacity for learning. A growing number of droids argue that they should be represented alongside Etekoi, Wickerbeasts, and humans. Some argue that they are relics of tyranny rather than citizens, while their supporters assert that they have earned it via adaptation and survival. Artificial minds are also developing along with galvanic cores. Every council chamber is plagued by the worry that AI might turn into another despot. Some call for complete prohibitions on advanced AI. Some believe that AI will help Osova progress. Symbiosis The increasing instability of Galvanic technology together with the declining use of Crystalithium networks made humans (primarily) essential for restoring and maintaining Osova's mechanical systems. The human inventiveness during the Galvanic period enabled individuals to repair droids that lost their ability to self-fix because they could no longer access their needed infrastructure or software updates. Humans achieved new methods to stabilize artificial minds through code, alchemy practices from Verdants, and stabilization of Galvanic Cores. Inventors repair damaged chassis and update existing systems through their work with reverse-engineering and trial-and-error construction. The droid repair establishments that humans operated in various urban areas created safe spaces for injured droids, which resulted in strong connections between creators and robots. Some droids established permanent connections with their reconstruction workshops and creators. It is also rumored that if close enough to a droid, and alchemy experimentation is done, one can share a mind connection with that creation. Technology & Urbanization Anti-gravity remains one of Osova’s greatest technological marvels to come from the Galvanic Core. Antigravity is primarily in heavily urban cities. Often, up above, structures drift without support. Sometimes, whole city sections are suspended like mist. However, it is also one of the greatest hazards: Platforms disappear or zoom away Gravity fields flicker Buildings tilt or collapse often Sudden gravity reversals injure or kill Trams sometimes freeze midair Emergency 'eject' or 'descent' systems are mandatory in all vehicles Due to the underground panels required for it, galvanic core-formed antigravity is typically restricted to city limits. The majority of anti-gravity in urban areas enables people to effortlessly hop or float (6–8 feet) off the ground before descending. Airships dominate long-distance travel, supported by Galvanic Core-powered thrusters. Rail lines and hover-like tracks interweave across cities, though collisions and derailments are common. Many citizens carry emergency descent devices created by inventors since falling from a city is a real and constant threat. Core Clash The top spectator sport of the Galvanic Era. It is an homage to Vipera's Trial from the primal era. In enormous, high-tech stadiums, groups of individuals compete for resources, prestige, and points. Misfires and unintentional collapses are part of the entertainment, but the sport is built with fail-safes to prevent deadly outcomes despite its brutality and speed. That does not mean deadly outcomes have not occurred, but they are taken very seriously. Individuals are allowed to use robotic tech weapons and gear provided they are approved by the runners of Core Clash. Antigravity is used in core clash as well to make the fights exciting for tv viewers and audiences. Grandesburg Reclaimed The beating heart of Osova, rebuilt over the ruins of Kaelen’s Harmonizer. Half neon lights, half scarred architectural bones, it is both a marvel and a reminder of tyranny. Droids gather here the most due to the availability of resources, warehouses, and inventors. Alliances True unity is difficult to achieve through decrees and council halls, even though the Chamber of Three is Osova's official governing body. Rather, it developed gradually among survivors, rebels, engineers, academics, and nomads who realized that cooperation, not dominance, is what Osova needed to survive. Reclamation Alliances, and loose coalitions of all the species committed to repairing damaged ecosystems, reestablishing unstable cities, and dismantling Kaelen's remaining technological war machines, start to form across continents. One mission, one village, and one restored river at a time, trust is restored. The Assembly Group factions that survived the collapse come together in reconstruction efforts. Galvanic Piracy Factions In search of technology, resources, and power, Galvanic Pirates explore Osova's broken cities, floating ruins, and Scar Zones as renegade engineers, scavengers, and anarchists. They are not just thieves. They frequently consist of rogue droids, Etekoi, Wickerbeasts, and humans, forming multi-species crews bound together by survival and the thought of riches. These modern pirates are mostly land bound and use mounts. However, pelagic and swamp wickerbeasts mostly, certainly peruse the seas as well. The Verdancy Traditional clans, mostly Wickerbeasts and Etekoi, but also some human settlements, who resist modernity are called the Verdancy or Verdants. They argue that both Crystalithium and Galvanic energy have poisoned Osova, and that true recovery lies in rejecting all machine dependence. These individuals believe that technology has been the ruin of Osova and that power has corrupted the land. This belief was first formed by a small group after the Wickerbeasts lost their magic through Aether Blossom consumption. Urban society, to them, represents: Unchecked power Gluttony Resource stealing / mishandling Repeating mistakes that primal wickers made Clans of these types tend to make mechanized intrusion impossible. These groups do so by using the environment to their advantage in their territories. For instance, grown tree root walls, carnivorous flora, spores, poisons, and even using the wildlife mounts such as Oshari and Skitadels to their aid when feeling invaded territory wise. However, the Verdancy does directly work with the Chamber of Three regarding world plant seed storage. Primarily, Dwellers are responsible for these large underground cavern greenhouse facilities.

Info about the wicker pelagic subtype PELAGIC SUBTYPE With little to no fluff at all, Pelagics are a distantly related mutation of swamp wickerbeasts. These wickers typically are found in deep water, living in their own small communities, or live in isolation. They are equipped to live in deep water with gills, webbing, shark-like thick tails, have coral growing on their bodies, and even can be seen with small ocean companions living in their manes. HOW TO MAKE A PELAGIC A pelagic should always have cheek gills and tail fins. A pelagic is able to have two fins at the end of their tail with one main acting as the "tip." The fins below act as rudders. Pelagics always have under arm fins along with hand and toe fins. A pelagic, similar to a swamp, can also have scales on the underside of its tail optionally. pelagic SPECIFICS While they do possess webbing and gills, they are only able to venture onto land for a very short period of time. If they are on the land for too long they will start to dry out- a very painful sensation to them. Their skin is very similar to an orca underneath their otter-like fur. The amount of time before a pelagic dries out completely is usually 48 hours. Pain starts to occur after 12 hours. Pelagics are separated from mainland wickerbeasts in communication. While pelagics did carry vaeick over into their culture, they also have another way of communication as well. They developed a way make humming sounds similar to orcas to find one another at great lengths away. The longest range a pelagic can hear another pelagic from via humming is 3-4 miles. These creatures have a custom of giving eachother hand grown corals and even particular "sea" treasures that they find. These treasures can include debris from land dwelling wickers, rocks, shiny objects, jewelry, and cool knick-knacks. Gift giving is a large portion of their courting process. Like swamps, they cannot survive well without their tails. Most of the time, a pelagic will bleed out and appear at the surface. if their tail is cut off. Not all hope is lost however as science divisions from the mainland and their own have developed technological replacements for tails due to Pelagic's great reliance on the appendage. A robotic tail is often a solution in a dire situation. It is a device that operates in a similar way to a tail , with a number of joints that either move along an axis or can rotate in certain directions to allow for normal swim and travel. Pelagics talk about monsters from the abyss. Monsters from the abyss are creatures that would be similar to modern day serpents and uncanny aquatic life. Not much is known about them as no one has ever seen one and they find them to be more myth than legend. Background image by the lovely ThatCreatureJuk .

In the world of Osova, there once lived a race of anthropomorphic lizards known as the Wickerbeasts. These creatures were unlike any others, endowed with amazing abilities that gave them control over the very foundation of magic. This power, albeit, was beyond the capacity of the Wickerbeast body to properly manage. Given the special G-quadruplex DNA structure of wickerbeasts, any misuse of their powers could result in a terrible reaction that could even lead to their own death and torturous pain. The Wickerbeasts lived in fear of their own magic, for it was a dangerous gift that could turn on them at any moment of high emotion. That is until they discovered a magical flower known as the Aether Blossom. This delicate white and pink flower had the power to grant immunity to magic but also would slowly take a magical user’s power from them the more it was consumed. The Aether Blossom was consumed by the Wickerbeasts for centuries to aid them, but over time, the side effects of the plant caused them to completely lose their magical abilities. However, they were not discouraged because they discovered that life consisted of much more than just magic. They became more highly intelligent and creative as they pursued other interests such as art, literature, and science. The race started searching for allies on other continents. As the search for alliances began, a group of Wickerbeasts came across a lemur-like creature known as the Etekoi. The two species were initially cautious of each other, but over time, they grew to become allies and friends. The Wickerbeasts learned that the Etekoi were masters of technology and that they had developed incredible devices using a power source called Crystalithium. This power source was harnessed from crystals. One crystal’s lifetime energy span was hundreds of years and there was an abundance of them to harvest through mining. Together, the Wickerbeasts and the Etekoi began experimenting with these devices, creating incredible inventions that could do everything that magic could, and more. They built small airships that could fly through the sky, mechanical constructs to channel Crystalithium, and advanced communication devices that could reach vast distances. And so, the Wickerbeasts and Etekoi continued to explore and invent, creating a world that was both magical and technological. They had found a new way of life, one that was more fulfilling than they could have ever imagined. That was until they came across humans. When the Etekoi and Wickerbeasts first met with the humans, they did so with the hope of establishing friendly relations and sharing the knowledge of the powerful Crystalithium. However, the humans were not interested in sharing, but rather in controlling and exploiting the resource for their own gain. The Etekoi and Wickerbeasts initially tried to reason with the humans, explaining that the power of Crystalithium was a delicate balance that needed to be managed carefully to avoid catastrophic consequences. They emphasized that the crystals were a shared resource, not just for any one species to control. However, the humans were too focused on their own interests and refused to listen to reason. They began to launch attacks on the Etekoi and Wickerbeasts, seeking to take control of the Crystalithium by force. Fighting in cities, city seizures, and general violence began. The Etekoi and Wickerbeasts fought back fiercely, using their knowledge of the land and the power of Crystalithium to their advantage. They were able to hold off the human forces for some time, but eventually realized that they could not win this conflict alone due to the sheer amount of the human population. War was declared. As the war dragged on, it became clear to all involved that the conflict could not continue indefinitely. The fighting had ravaged the land, causing irreparable damage to the delicate ecosystem that allowed the Crystalithium to exist. The Etekoi and Wickerbeasts, who had always known the value of the resource realized that it was their responsibility to protect it. Etekoi and Wickerbeasts reached out to their communities to bear arms, hoping to form a united front against human aggression. They were eventually able to gather a coalition of Etekoi and Wickerbeast citizens who saw the value in preserving the balance of power and protecting the delicate ecosystem of Osova that allowed the Crystalithium to exist in the first place. With this in mind, the Etekoi and Wickerbeasts decided to take action. The species pooled their knowledge of the Crystalithium. The most powerful Etekoi used their combined abilities to create a powerful spell that combined with the power source of Crystalithium. This spell allowed them to tap into the crystals' power, creating a massive explosion of energy that engulfed the battlefield. Many Etekoi, Wickerbeasts, and Humans were lost in the massive explosion. The energy released by the Crystalithium was so immense that it left the survivors horrified. Humans realized that the power of the crystals was far too great for any one species to control after seeing the true power of Crystalithium. With this realization, the humans and magical species came to a truce in order to not have more lives lost. In the end, the humans agreed to a treaty that recognized the shared ownership and management of Crystalithium. The Etekoi and Wickerbeasts agreed to share their knowledge of the powerful resource with the humans, but only on the condition that they work together to protect the balance of power and preserve the delicate ecosystem that allowed the crystals to exist. With this agreement, the conflict was resolved, and a new era of cooperation and understanding began between the anthro species and humans. This peace would not last forever. Authors Note: Etekoi are not open to create yet as their visual guides are still being created. More information might be added to this page. Wickers are still required to have no magic - this is past tense. primal era

The hard-won truce between humans, Wickerbeasts, and Etekoi ushered in an era of uneasy cooperation, but as foretold, this peace was not destined to last forever. Over the centuries, the initial wounds of war began to heal, but new frictions emerged, shaping the Contemporary Era into a time of complex innovation, tradition, and power struggles. In regions less reliant on Crystalithium and its advanced applications, life often mirrors a medieval existence. Here, Wickerbeast, Human, and Etekoi communities might live in stone, caves, hides, or treehouse villages. Their days are typically governed by ancient and traditional customs, and they reject modernity. Craftsmanship thrives, and communal bonds remain strong, with technology largely limited to basic tools or older, simpler Crystalithium-powered devices. These areas value ancestral wisdom and often view the relentless pursuit of technological advancement with caution. Humans coexisted with Wickerbeasts and Etekoi, sharing skills in crafts, farming, and early mechanical technologies. Villages became cultural exchange centers, where humans acquired alchemical techniques from Wickerbeast scholars and Etekoi miners exchanged knowledge of crystal energy control. Humans, in turn, provided actual engineering skills and organizational approaches, assisting these communities in developing sustainable mining processes, irrigation systems, and workshops for local craft industries. On the other hand, thriving cities like Grandesburg serve as symbols of collective creativity and the unrelenting quest for advancement. The sky is punctuated by towering structures made of steel, glass, and alloys laced with crystalithium. These are interspersed with complex systems of aerial tramways and silent, levitating vehicles that are powered by the luminous crystals. Automated systems or robotic creations manage everything from waste disposal to resource allocation, and advanced communication devices allow instant contact across continents. Medical science has advanced significantly, extending lifespans and curing ailments once thought to be fatal. In Grandesburg, the combined genius of the Etekoi's magical prowess and the Wickerbeasts' technological and intellectual curiosity has changed these cities into a true modern hub. As the demand for crystalithium increased, peace started to erode. Its uses grew rapidly, ranging from large-scale infrastructure to personal electronic devices. Increased mining in less developed areas and sporadic territorial disputes are caused by the rise in applications. Economic competition, industrial espionage, and skirmishes in resource-rich but undeveloped territories emerged as a new form of conflict, although direct, large-scale fighting was mostly avoided because of the terrifying memory of the big Crystalithium explosion. Human factions frequently pushed for more authority over the governance of the shared Crystalithium pact, which fueled political conflicts. Human authorities, wickerbeasts, and etekoi are all working to keep their species in balance. There is also a creeping environmental decay, a subtle consequence of unchecked Crystalithium extraction and industrialization, began to manifest in distant regions, threatening the very ecosystems vital for the crystals' existence. This new danger was unlike any prior conflict and required a deeper understanding of Osova's world. The Rise of the Hybrids Amidst these evolving challenges, a rare and unforeseen phenomenon began to emerge: Etekoi/Wickerbeast hybrids. Over centuries of cohabitation, cultural integration, and deeply intertwined lives, genetic divergences began to bridge, leading to the birth of individuals possessing traits from both species. These hybrids are slightly rare, perhaps fifty in a thousand births among the two species, and their appearance is varied but still largely Wickerbeast. Wicker and Human relationships also became more common in population, but they were never able to conceive children. Kaelen & Power's Core Kaelen, an Etekoi/Wickerbeast hybrid, was born and rose to prominence. Kaelen originally became well-known in Grandesburg as a bright crystalithium engineer who came up with creative ideas for sustainable energy extraction and gadgets that could both capture crystalithium and help repair the harm it brought to the environment. But Kaelen's comprehension quickly veered from a need for equilibrium to an unquenchable craving for power. Kaelen started taking advantage of the very systems they had vowed to defend because they thought that only complete technological control could genuinely "save" Osova. They developed advanced Crystalithium-powered devices capable of disrupting established communication networks, manipulating energy grids, and even accelerating the depletion of critical Crystalithium veins. Kaelen's proposals were no longer diplomatic; they were ultimatums, backed by a growing army of technologically enhanced enforcers. These enforcers were Advanced Droid Wickerbeasts, and Robotic Wickerbeasts. The trust forged over centuries was shattered. The treaty collapsed into widespread industrial sabotage, resource wars, and civil unrest. Grandesburg, once a symbol of unity, became Kaelen's fortified bastion, its advanced technology turned inward to maintain control over a populace increasingly resentful and fearful. The balance of power was utterly destroyed, replaced by Kaelen's iron grip over the world's most vital resource. The old Grandesburg court, a historical landmark, was seized and brutally repurposed, its old halls now existing only with the hum of advanced machinery. Kaelen renamed it: The Harmonizer. This descent into techno-autocracy and environmental exploitation marked the definitive downfall of the Contemporary Era. Kaelen’s actions, driven by a warped vision of order through technological supremacy, inadvertently plunged Osova into a new, darker age. The Cartographer In the midst of the whirling mayhem A King Wickerbeast named Charter was introduced into the world by Kaelen. He wasn't a fan of big speeches or cutting-edge technology. Rather, he was a silent biological scientist, historian, and cartographer. While others followed Kaelen's destructive trajectory, Charter meticulously and silently documented everything. The only method to accurately monitor the unrestrained environmental degradation brought on by unregulated crystalithium extraction and the startling rate at which resources were disappearing was through Charter's meticulous cartography and writing. His objective statistics cut through Kaelen's propaganda, giving anyone courageous enough to oppose it vital, indisputable information. He often ventured into the most perilous, remote regions, sometimes with a small, trusted group of traditionalists and scholars who shared his quiet resistance. These journeys were incredibly dangerous. Kaelen’s enforcers, terrifying Advanced Droid Wickerbeasts and Robotic Wickerbeasts, patrolled many mining sites, seeing any unauthorized presence as an enemy. His paper maps evolved into holographic maps. They became more information heavy. The maps turned into guides that also incorported vital ecological data, marked with a complex language of symbols only a chosen few could decipher. These "living maps" didn’t just show where the Crystalithium was; they showed where it was being poisoned, where the land was dying, and even hinted at untouched pocket fissures of Crystalithium that might, just might, hold the key to Osova’s future. Alchemy Along with technological advances, alchemy has grown into a sought after scientific study free of magical implications. Wickerbeasts and Etekoi used chemical reactions, Crystalithium interactions, and bioengineered materials to create tools, medications, and energy-saving technologies. Rural communities used alchemy as a sort of applied environmental science, developing regenerative soils, bioluminescent lights, and living filtration systems to restore ecosystems that had been disturbed by mining or galvanic development. These accomplishments strengthened constructive interspecies cooperation by showing that thorough study, research, and observation could produce outcomes just as powerful as any mystical system. contemporary era
