Name:
Nymphs
Alternate Name(s):
Nature Deities, Female Nature Spirits, Beautiful Maidens
Brief History:
Since the Golden Age of the Greek gods, nymphs have been creatures roaming around the earth with one of two purposes, either looking after and/or nurturing the landforms and environment that they have a dominion over and being of service to various gods and goddesses who ask for their assistance. There are several branches within the different groups of nymphs, each taking care of a different realm of nature.
Nymphs are extremely nature-oriented and constant enjoy the everyday wonders of the world around them. Most of a nymphs time can be occupied by frolicking and playing around in the nature around them, working [in order to help someone], etc.
Some nymphs are young women that have died and have been reincarnated as a nymph of nature.
Weaknesses:
Mortality allows that nymphs the ability to die.
Having a lifeline type of connection with the specific landforms or specific environment that they are associated with. If the specific landform or specific location becomes damaged or dies for some reason, the nymph(s) that are associated with that landform or location become weakened or die.
Constantly targeted by lustful creatures [satyrs etc.]
Some nymphs, specifically nereids, a type of water nymph, and underworld nymphs, have uncontrollable sexual desires for men or men-like creatures.
Nymphs can suffer from physical and mental ailments that can affect performance, in general. They can suffer from hunger, fatigue, dehydration, general pain, wounds [fatal or not], etc.
The idea of technologies is somewhat odd to them. They are nature-oriented and rarely associate themselves with technologies and other things that are electronic.
Basic Abilities:
Ageless
Chameleon-like abilities allow them to merge or blend in with their specific landforms or specific environments.
Empathic link with nature, specifically with their general areas of origin.
Animal Control allows communication with animals, specifically within their general areas of origin.
Healing allows the ability to heal minor wounds of nature, animals, other beings and a slight healing factor allowing a quicker recovery rate than normal humans.
