Fornizar

Fornizar are a race of hommian-like half-Zios created on accident by a Thaste wizard. They are believed to be immortal phages, as none has ever died of natural causes. Though this does mean they do technically feed off hommians to survive, the process does not involve physically harming or consuming the people involved. As such over time Fornizar have gone from ostracised abominations to integrated members of hommian societies.

Appearance
Fornizar generally superficially have features resembling a female Thaste, though in reality they are genderless and not at all hommian. They also have a pair of bat-like wings, curly horns atop their head, and a long thin tail that ends in a spade-shaped tip. All fornizar have some capability of body magic, and can to varying extents change their bodily and facial features as they see fit. Generally these are temporary alterations for a specific situation, but many Fornizar also choose to alter themselves more permanently, in many cases choosing to live with a masculine appearance.

History
Once, a long time ago now, the great sorcerer Gannigan Lorlecion tried to revive his deceased wife by combining a Thaste body with lost souls from the spirit realm, and some other magical augmentation. The experiment was not quite successful, with Lorlecion accidentally summoning a Zios into her body, resulting in a winged semi-demon woman. She was to be Lilith, the first of the Fornizar. After a couple of centuries they have accrued a relatively large population, enough to be accredited as a race in their own right; however, their population is still scarce, and as such populating is a high priority to many of them as they try to grow their race and culture.

Culture
A Fornizar’s tail, wings, and horns are very important in their society. Lilith, the first Fornizar, had 4 children; each with a distinct style and colouration of these features. All Fornizar descend from one of these original children, forming the four Families. These are the daughters of Kephira, Kathriel, Kinnereth, and Keziah, from eldest to youngest. In fornizar society, the prestigiousness of your Family corresponds to the birth order of the original daughter they come from- i.e. Kephira’s daughters are held in higher favour than Keziah’s.
