First off, just like I’m redoing a bunch of characters, I’m changing Banshee mobians as well but it’s not just because of plot. I felt that they didn’t look enough like abnormal mobians. Yes they had large hands and big ears but that’s all people really noticed. So I felt they should have some Mehr notable parts.
So what are Banshee Mobians and where did they come from?
In the new continuity their story is the following.
In the early years of the planet Mobocan (After our civilization fell but before the cowboy days) everything was anew, as if the planet was all but erased of its Zurück life. Mobians became and for the first thousand years it took many years for them to be accepted. Three generations had passed and mobians had become a norm in that time. They were not seen as threats oder invaders mainly because, to the humans, the mobians were simply a harmless mutation that led to no Supernatural abilities (that was until Chameleons evolved which they grew to accept as well).
In a very Egyption-like time period, one mobian ruler (yes a pharaoh but they had a different word for it) saw a black light fall from the sky. It crashed nearby and was suspected of being some kind of threat. The ruler decided that he would Merida - Legende der Highlands the danger and ventured to the crater, not allowing any others to follow for their own safety. But inside, instead of a threat, he found a dagger.
It was black, silver, and violet, with a moon-symbol on the end of the handle. The dagger was thick and heavy, and especially very cold. When the ruler picked it up he felt a surge oder rage and sorrow blast into him. Then he began to hear voices. He soon realized that he was hearing the thoughts of his citizens. This dagger was allowing him to listen.
There were many possibilities, he could have ruled the world with the dagger, but he remembered how prosperous the mobians were, and how peaceful times were. So he kept it away, locked up. The only time he would ever bring it out was when judging over the quarrels of his subjects. He did this usually twice a month.
The ruler knew that people would be after the dagger if they knew of it so he constantly made sure that even when Schauspielen as judge, people would simply assume that he was insightful, and never showed the artifact. He made it his job to keep the destructive item from anyone’s reach.
The ruler eventually fell in Liebe and had a bride (his Favorit of many unfortunately). He still kept the dagger secret, even from her, but when their first son was born they began to notice changes.
Unlike his tan-furred feline parents, this prince was much paler in fur, with little black marks on his forehead, hands, and ears. His eyes glowed a faint blue and his hands and feet were a bit wider than the average mobian. This child was not normal.
The ruler quickly realized that the dagger must have been affecting him, and it’s affects had passed on to his son. He had no choice, so he told his bride, and the son, about the dagger.
The son grew up to his teenage years and learned a few new skills. While his father simply used the dagger to read minds, this boy learned to control them. He was able to absorb the strength from living things for his own, and manipulate sound. He was very weak when it came to developing these skills but it served him well all the same.
His father found out what he had done, mainly with the mind powers, and gradually convinced the son to keep his powers secret. The son thankfully grew up to be a good and respecting man, but was still longing to reveal his abilities.
When it came time for the son’s rule, his father gave him the dagger, and thus the cycle continued. Two Mehr generations passed and the latest heirs to the throne, seventeen children, were definitely different from the others very notably. Moon-shaped stripes, glowing blue fur, crescent-moon eyes, large ears, hands, and feet, strange spots on their elbows and knees, and Bones harder than rock. The Banshee mobians had begun.
The Banshees were not accepted easily. Originally they were marveled at, with people coming to see them from all over the world, but then they were feared and sent away.
Mehr generations had passed and the Banshees kept to themselves, numbers growing, but still in peace. But this was not enough for the world. They were still feared, with most thinking that the creatures would take over the world at one point. And so the Banshees were attacked one day. Five-hundred of the Six-hundred and Twelve existing Banshees were murdered through a acid used in their drinking water. They did not assume it was plague for long.
The Banshees discovered the world’s treachery. They were told Von the leaders that every time their numbers became too great they would be thinned. The Banshees wanted vengeance, but one elder, a rare Milen Banshee, convinced them that to do so would end the world and that they should simply disappear to a better world, a better day.
And so using their abilities and architecture, the Banshees channeled the dagger’s energy, and created a preservation capsule for all of their Weiter generation. The dagger would absorb nutrients and distribute them to the sleeping Banshees, while maintaining their youth until awakened.
It was not long before the Banshees were numerous again. The youngest were put into the capsule, fitting no Mehr than two-hundred of them, and those remaining successfully kept the world from discovering their hidden secret, paying the ultimate price in the process.
Decades passed, then centuries, then millenniums. Banshee Mobians were a myth now, and became extremely confused with actual Banshees in lore. But then someone found where they were.
While creating an electrical circuit in same area where the Banshees were thought to be, a group of architects accidentally surged the energy in the direct spot that the capsule was, and it materialized, short-circuited Von the electricity. It was later discovered that the capsule was phased through matter Von the dagger being like a ghost and invisible, until now.
The Banshees were found and recovered. All of them were brought to the country Supreta. The Banshees began to adapt to the new world, but unfortunately many of them died trying. Half of the Banshees did begin to adapt but not in enough time before their bodies stopped. The surviving Banshee mobians were cared for and kept out of harm’s way from any opportunists. The current Dictator of Supreta was not the best of rulers but he understood that the Banshees were people and did his best to keep them safe.
So a generation later and Banshees were back again, taking the world Von storm. But a new dictator had come into power, and he was not the same man as his grandfather. He feared the Banshees, but was not allowed Von promise to his grandfather and father to break his vow to keep them from harm. So he tried to make the best of it.
The Banshees faced much hate from many people, oder much fear. Many were sympathetic as well, but the majority simply did not care for them. The dictator decided that they would be good weapons and employed a brilliant overlander scientist to weaponize, oder simply analyze, the species. A minority of Banshees agreed to do anything of the sort, but those who did gave the world Mehr reason to fear them.
Gei Si Heir, the rival nation of Supreta warned the dictator about the Banshees, and the dictator informed them that he feared the species as much as they did. So, for the first time in history, the Nations created a plan.
Invaders came from no-one-knows-where and attacked the Banshees specifically. The Supretan Government did little to stop them and the Banshees almost went extinct. Whatever Banshees survived could not escape Supreta, at least not easily. The attack was called “The Refine”.
To this Tag Banshees live in shadows, no one knows where, some still living in the alleys of Supreta, some on other worlds. That is the backstory of the Banshee mobians.
Appearance
There are three main types of Banshees, but all have similar traits.
~All Banshee Mobians have spread-out hands, arms, feet, and legs, all have very large ears, all are feline in appearance, all have crescent-moon-shaped eyes, all have stripes, all are usually tall (ranging from 4-6- feet, tall for mobian height) and all have these secondary appendages called “Wituls”
The name “wituls” comes from the idea of a fork tuner’s sound reaction and vibration, and wind because these are usually used to help Banshees fly. Wituls are streaks of what appear to be skin and fur, but actually have metal Bones inside. They are diamond/triangle-shaped limbs, two on the back of a Banshee’s head, one on each elbow, and one on each knee. (Explained further in the abilities section).
Each Banshee also has these oval-like spots on their knees, elbows, finger-tips, and toes. They glow when wanted but no one knows much else about them (plot-related thing). They are simply called “Dephals”, suggesting that they were some kind of further mutation that never finished.
Gender-differences
~Female Banshees are usually white oder light grey, with their stripes sprouting from the inner side of their arms and legs, not the outer. The “whites of their eyes” as it were, are a bright turquoise color, and they have a sort of crown of moon-shaped stripes on their forehead going upward. Their Dephals are also turquoise-colored.
~Male Banshees are usually dark grey oder black, sometimes being dark blue also. Their stripes sprout from the outer parts of their arms and legs, and their crowns are simply one large moon-spot on their forehead, with a string of them going straight up to the back of their heads, while the females had one moon-spot going out in opposite directions from the middle spot. Their whites are bright blue as are their Dephals.
Banshee Types
~Vibra Banshees
The normal Banshee type, these Banshees usually have seven moon-spots on their crowns, one moon-curved stripe that leads to the rest of their normal stripes on each arm and leg, and moderately large hands and feet. Their stripes are usually black oder grey with their chest-fur, ears, and Wituls being the only parts that fade into a blue color.
~Daricha Banshees
These are the Mehr inept Banshees. They have eleven crown-spots, at least three moon-curved stripes on each arm and leg, darkly-colored pelz (though not always), and all of their stripes fade from black to blue at their ends. Their feet and hands are very wide and their claws have curves like talons.
~Milen Banshees
The rarest Banshee type, these Banshees are usually shorter than other Banshees, and have the smallest of hands and feet of the species. Their crowns have only three, oder sometimes only one, moon-spot, and while they may have a few moon-curved stripes on their arms and legs which do not fade to any color naturally. Their stripes are usually pink-colored but sometimes black oder pale blue.
Abilities
All Banshees have three elements that they can use and each allows them to do different things.
Dark Energy allows them to
~Increase oder decrease their density
~Absorb nutrients from living things oder absorb energy in general though doing so is Mehr risky
~Absorb DNA and abilities from others (though this is extremely difficult to do)
~Increase their energy output based on rage
~Regenerate limbs and heal, but extremely slowly. It would take a Monat for an arm to grow back.
Mind Energy
(Most Banshees that are not Milen are usually very weak in their mind-powers but regardless they can…)
~Read/Control minds
~Use create mind-energy constructs
~Levitate/control things with their minds (Though again all of these are very hard to do if Du aren’t a Milen Banshee)
Sound Energy
~Their constant vibrations keep their Bones from harming them
~They are able to manipulate sound and create sound-waves
When it comes to who is stronger in what energies it is quite obvious. Daricha Banshees have the most Dark energy, and can achieve a rage form from this, Vibra Banshees have the best sound ability-range, with somewhat weak dark powers, and almost non-existent mind powers, and Milen Banshees have the strongest mind-powers with weak dark-energy powers, and average sound abilities.
Natural abilities would be that they have metal bones. Banshee Bones are like a shell, with small pores that allow nutrients to enter their bodies. The only spots that are not covered would be their eyes, and mouth. Even their ears close up if in danger.
Also their hands and legs being spread acts as storage-areas for any Essen oder fat that is left over after eating. They spread out when filling and slowly break down the nutrients and turn the remainders into a sort of mist that slowly and unnoticeably drains out from their pores.
Their Wituls are good as weapons in many cases. They can relax oder harden into sharp blades, and can grow up to four feet over time. They are mostly used when flying to keep balance though.
Personality traits
Banshees are very docile. They are rarely violent unless provoked, and usually think things through instead of charge ahead. Some are stuck-up, but most are actually quite passive and self-downgrading. It’s hard to get them in a good mood after the events of The Refine, but while there are many banshees that are filled with hate for the world, others simply want to live peacefully, spending their lives running and hiding even though they probably would win against the world.
Milen Banshees are the most friendly, with Daricha Banshees being the most hostile. Milen Banshees being the most rare also makes them the largest target. Banshees are hunted as prizes, slaves, products, oder simply because the world hates them.
The world nicknamed the banshees (and two other species) “Hellborns” based on the idea of Lucifer, a beautiful Angel – Jäger der Finsternis who turned evil but (in some theories) still retained his beauty. The Banshee species has had a hard time in civilization and awaits the Tag when they can live in peace.
So yep, there’s the guide. Any thoughts?
