''"It'll work this time for sure, right?" — Lerinov''
</blockquote>

A short introductory blurb about your character goes here. This should briefly explain who they are, what role they play in the story, and any key traits that define them!

Think of this section as a way to give readers a quick understanding of your character before they read the full page.

== Appearance ==
Lerinov stood at 6'0" tall and had dark blue eyes. They were a caramel brown Canari with a darker brown saddle pattern with lighter patches of fur going towards the chest, ears, and paws. They had a long fluffy tail and droopy ears.

He wore a hand-tailored lab coat adorned with orange and green frills, a green undershirt and dark brown pants adorned with similar orange and green frills. He did not wear shoes.

Most notably, he wore a green, orange, and white hand-carved mask that covered the upper portion of the face, from the forehead to the top half of the muzzle. The eye areas of the mask gave a sharp, feathered look to the eyes. Small ears were affixed to the sides of the mask. At the crest of the mask was a brilliant green gemstone and an accenting green feather.

== History ==

=== Early Life ===
Lerinov led a happy home life on Virilune with the support of their mother, father and sibling Guin. Their years as a pup were full of love, laughter and curiosity, spearheaded by Guin’s involvement and support. Lerinov was chosen from a young age by their village’s Druid to be trained as a Druid. While Lerinov enjoyed and learned a lot from their lessons, they craved more knowledge which led them to go to The Singulon Academy for Prestigious Boys and Girls to follow in the pawprints of their sibling.

Growing up, Lerinov enjoyed cooking dishes with their mother and helping their father tend to nature and the crop fields. Lerinov has kept these hobbies for their whole life, often finding comfort in them.

=== The Singulon Academy for Prestigious Boys and Girls ===
<blockquote>“In order for the rest of the plant to thrive, we must cut off the dead ends.” -- Lerinov teaching the Gardening Club </blockquote>When Lerinov was old enough, he left Virilune to pursue further education on magic and culture. While at the academy they met their Bestest Bestest Friend Bravo, and their best friends Xeroc, Laythe, and Iridi.

Lerinov and Bravo became fast friends and research partners in the pursuit of a shared goal. Due to,,, some things,,, Bravo is no longer with us.

Lerinov got into a lot of wacky hijinks together with Xeroc, Iridi, and Laythe while they devoured all the information that the Academy could teach them, the four of them being known as genius’ in their fields with a hearty trouble-making streak. Their hijinks lead to each of them getting kicked out of the Academy, though they stay in touch via letters and messages while they’re apart.

Lerinov will dodge the question if asked why they were kicked out of the Academy.<blockquote>“Please, will you dance with me one last time?” – Lerinov to their Bestest Bestest Friend</blockquote>

=== Traveling after Expulsion ===
<blockquote>“In our time of need, the Prosperous Famine brought us food so we don't starve and crops so we survive.” – Rumors from a passerby</blockquote>For eight years, Lerinov travels in their small personal space ship across many different spheres and planets. Lerinov learns about the spirituality, culture, and medical knowledge that each species holds. As Lerinov travels; they heal the sick, perform funerary rites for the deceased, and continue their personal research in their free time. When Lerinov leaves a place they’ve visited, they often plant beautiful flowers and crops to bring a moment of joy to those they’ve met.

In these years, Lerinov’s memory and thoughts are often scattered, often forgetting and remembering details. This issue led to Lerinov writing journals and notes frequently to ensure they don’t forget anything.

Within these years, Lerinov meets many people and forms friendships and relationships across spheres. While Lerinov attempts to remain mostly unknown, their unusual and vibrant mask has led to rumors and whispers. Most refer to Lerniov as The Prosperous Famine, in reference to how Lerinov would plant and grow crops for people after putting their deceased to rest, bringing prosperity and food to those in dire or somber situations.

'''[Lerinov_Travel_Interview]'''

INTERVIEWER: Welcome in, would you mind telling me about yourself? I’ve heard good things from the people you’ve helped.

LERINOV: “Well, I would consider myself kind person, though I may be biased of course. Those I have helped, as you’ve said, they are always very thankful. It is difficult thing, to be one to bury someone’s loved ones, one must have certain tact. Yknow? I do best to provide comfort in this time. I like to grow beautiful flowers or fruits for them before I leave, is moment of sweetness in difficult times.”

INTERVIEWER: So what’s your goal? I’ve heard you’ve been traveling for a while, what’re you looking for?

LERINOV: “Besides my general pursuit of knowledge, my greatest dream, my goal, is to prove my theory of the Soul. The idea that the Soul can be adapted, harnessed, filtered, whatever you want to call it. That those we lost are not truly gone. Of course this theory does not come without cost, one must keep in mind Sor’vaktal of course.”

INTERVIEWER: How’d you create this theory? How do you keep going in spite of any setbacks you may have had?

LERINOV: “Well, I owe it to myself, and a very very good friend of mine to continue research that we started together long time ago.”
----'''Personality''':

Lerinov is a kind-hearted person with a dedicated interest in the research and study of magic and spirituality from all humanoid species. Lerinov hopes that their research can help bring people peace of mind when it comes to life and death. Lerinov hopes to help improve the lives of the people he meets.

Lerinov loves cooking just as much as he loves eating, in his travels he made sure to spend time learning the culinary profiles of the spheres and planets they’ve visited. Lerinov carries themself with medical and spiritual knowledge that gives them many opportunities for socializing and helping those around them, which they are glad to do.

Lerinov, as a Druid, feels the magic pulse of nature and the Patterns. In his free time, he engages in plenty of gardening and cooking, often cooking home-cooked meals for those close to him.

Lerinov fears things he cannot see, words he cannot hear and touch with no owner. In quiet moments these fears take shape so Lerinov tries to keep busy, often hopping from project to project which leads to them overworking themself.

'''[Lerinov_Council_Interview]'''

=== Guinevere ===
INTERVIEWER: Your sibling, Guin, '''[ACCESS DENIED]'''. Please, tell me about them?

LERINOV: “I,,, I hold them very dear to my heart,, those we’ve rarely been in the same room. Guin guided my path to knowledge and curiosity, Guin encouraged and supported me always, '''[ACCESS DENIED]'''. Guin was always busy of course, yes, with the Wayfarer’s Guild, but we always tried to make time to write to each other and do keeping of tabs. '''[ACCESS DENIED]'''. ”
----'''Guinevere''': Lerinov’s sibling. They care for them greatly and are eternally grateful for their influence. While their busy lives often prevent them from talking in-person, they both make an effort to message whenever they can. Lerinov has kept their letters, trinkets and messages from Guinevere safe throughout the years, often re-reading and fidgeting with them in difficult times.

=== Bravo ===
INTERVIEWER: You went to the Singulon Academy in your youth, correct? What was that like? Especially with the idea of living up to Guin’s reputation?

LERINOV: “Oh? Oh! Yes,,, living up to Guin’s reputation,,,, from the Wayfarer’s. It made forming of connections difficult at times. I had few people I could call close during those years. But one of them was Bravo. We were something we liked to joke, Bestest Bestest Friends. Together we conducted research and did formulation of my topic of study. They are sadly no longer with us, I pray always that they have returned to Sor’vaktal."
----'''Bravo''': Lerinov’s Bestest Bestest Friend from the Academy. They met under a great tree on the academy grounds and often spent time together within the Academy’s Gardening Club. Lerinov associates Bravo with Asters and Lotus. They formulated Lerinov’s Theory of the Soul together, growing closer together than either had ever had before. Together, they crafted masks that visualize how each other feels about the other, this mask is Lerinov’s most prized possession and is rarely ever caught without it.

Together they devised a way to ensure they would never be apart.

=== The Four Perils of Fortuna - Xeroc, Iridi, Laythe, Lucky ===
INTERVIEWER: And of course, the reason for our interview today! Your work alongside the other heads of the Fortuna Family. Please, tell me about your relationship to them?

LERINOV: “Well, remember what I said in regards to my time at the Academy? I met Xeroc, Iridi, and Laythe there as well. We grew close to each other when they joined the Gardening Club that I was the president of at the time. Truly they have been very impactful people in my life. I care for them greatly. After leaving of the Academy, we did keeping in touch for many years. After a time, Laythe asked us to come help with something of importance. Together we built Lucky, a greatly valued asset to our work. And yknow, things happen and such and forth, and we ended up taking over the Fortuna Family. We work diligently to ensure the people have higher quality than they did with those that were in charge.”

=== The Goons - The Changeling, Ray ===
INTERVIEWER: And even with your diligent work on the Council, I’ve been told you are fond of taking business trips. I’ve gotten reports of some people that work with you, but they aren’t part of the Fortuna Family, is that correct?

LERINOV: "Oh! Yes yes! They’ve lovingly taken to calling themselves my Goons, it is quite funny. It is of employment of helping me in my travels. I met one of them a few years before the Council ever got together, and the other, Ray, provided me with bodyguarding while I was on Chitara for a time. I care for those that work for me, I do ensuring of proper payment and rest. I provide meals and comfortable housing if necessary. With the Council’s work, I would not ask of them to divert resource into my trips, so I employ my own assistance."
----'''Ray''': Lerinov met Ray on Chitara before he went to jail. Lerinov had Ray work for him, assigned general manual labor and bodyguarding duties. Lerinov thinks Ray is a kind person who’s been forced into bad situations and worries for him. While Lerinov could not hire Ray permanently, Lerinov hopes things get better for him and that they see each other again.

'''The Changeling''': After a complicated and tense meeting, Lerinov decides that The Changeling’s skills would be useful to his goals and hires them in the years that he travels. The Changeling does a variety of work for Lerinov, depending on the sphere they are currently visiting and/or what work is needed for the Council. They’ve traveled together for years and The Changeling continues their employment into the present day, though they both understand when The Changeling leaves for the other works they're involved in. Their relationship is somewhere between work, friends and family.

=== Associates ===
'''Mercutio''': They met each other while engaged in similar goals on a sphere. After a short miscommunication, the two found they shared a similar understanding and parted on friendly terms. If they ran into each other again on another sphere, they were open to working together for their similar goals.

'''Amber''': They met when Lerinov was traveling as a Druid. Lerinov tended to Amber when she was ill, earning them some favor with the Sauran people.

'''Sinlaya''': They met through a mutual friend and ended up traveling together for some time. Lerinov taught Sinlaya their medical and magical knowledge, crafting them a mask before they parted ways.

<blockquote>
''"Quit chasing your own tail and go help your sister with the harvesting!" — A tired Canari mother to her son''
</blockquote>

A short overview of the species goes here. This should briefly summarize what they are, where they come from, and their general role in the setting.

This page is intended as a template and guide for creating new species pages. Please copy this page when creating a new entry.

== Core Worldview ==
<blockquote>
''“Be sure to say thanks to the spirits of the trees before you take from them, they worked hard to grow for us, it's the least we could do to give back.” -- A kind older sister teaching her younger brother''</blockquote>The Canari view their homeworld and by extension the universe as an interconnected system. There is life in everything and nature itself is a sign of something greater. They believe that in order to live a good life, you must take care of those you love and tend to the world around you, if you do these things all will work out eventually. They believe that when one dies, their soul will return to the cycle and begin anew.

== Physiology and Design ==

<blockquote>
“I can tell you're lying, I can see your tail wagging. Oh and the crumbs all over your face don’t help your case.” – A mother scolding her child for stealing treats before dinner</blockquote>

The Canari are humanoids with canine traits. They have fur, tails, snouts, and dog ears. Fur and markings appear around the face, on the arms and legs, and along the back and hips. The Canari have digitigrade feet (paws), this evolutionary trait has given them the capacity to maintain high speeds with ease. All Canari are based on animals within the Canidae taxonomy family, this includes dogs, wolves, coyotes, raccoon dogs, foxes and more.

While there is some sort of genetic predisposition and heredity, such as a child from a fishing family being born with traits that might make them better at fishing (such as webbed paws or waterproof coats), there is no cultural taboo in regards to hybrids between canine species.

Canari come in natural tones for their environment. For example a Canari that lives in plains is more likely to have a coat be colors like brown or beige than white or black (like a Canari that lives in the more arctic areas). Unnatural colors never appear without dye involved, the newer generations often enjoy dying their fur fun color combinations as a way to express themself.

Tail docking, Ear Clipping, Declawing are seen as taboo and are not performed unless medically necessary. Piercings and tattoos are okay and normalized as a way to honor traditions, engage in self expression and mark rites of passage. Tattooing is possible, it is colloquially known as tattooing though the process is more in line with freeze-dry branding. This method makes the branded fur regrow white.

Canari live 1.5 times as long as the average human being.

== Social Structures and Community ==

<blockquote>"Oh that Aurelian trader is in town, do you wanna go take a look?" -- Chatter at the dinner table </blockquote>The Canari live in villages and towns that mainly consist of tight-knit groups of allied packs that have decided to live near each other. “It takes a village to raise a child” communities are very social and work together to prosper as a whole. Most packs settle down in one area, though some remain nomadic as a way to care for nature.

While no central government, The Canidae is a prominent organization that works to represent the many tribes and communities that exist on Verilune. Known for heading advancements and handling dealing and trades with travelers from other spheres. They also keep track of all recognized/ formed communities and ensure they are aware of any important changes. Do not govern the people, instead act as a mouth piece for decisions and spreading of important information.

There are established trade lines between the Canari and some other species, such as between the Aurelians. The Aurelians trade contemporary technology in exchange for Verilune's organic materials. Plazas act as community spaces between villages, allowing packs and off-world traders to trade and sell goods, ceremonies to be held, and acts as a social hub .

The Canari are very social people that thrive on collaborative effort and are considered community-oriented. They work together to pursue mutual goals and rely on each other to overcome stress and challenges. This social-driven society means its worst punishment is exile from the group.

A very important part of Canari culture are Packs. Traditionally a pack is one's family and extended family, however it is becoming more common for close friends to be included in one's pack. A pack provides a sense of intense belonging and safety, this is essential for mental, physical and emotional wellbeing. A Canari without a pack often suffers from feeling lonely, anxious, and depressed.

Pack names are sometimes used, it is a name given to those within a pack, similar to a last name or a clan name. It acts as a signifier of community and respect.

== Religion and Spirituality ==

The Canari believe in what would be known as Animism, the idea that all things both living (people, animals, plants) and not (such as the weather, rocks, or geographical locations) possess spiritual essence, life, or agency. They believe that there is a great balance to everything in the universe, that everything works together as parts of a whole. It is said that all life is sacred and to lead a good life involves helping maintain this balance. Spirituality is another part of life, there is no distinction between natural and supernatural.

For instance, when a hunter kills livestock it is customary to leave a part of it on one’s altar, as thanks to the animal for giving up its life so the hunter can feed their pack.

Never take without giving back to the cycle. We must be respectful when we interact with the cycle.

== Technology and Science ==

Here you guys can expand. If there's a specialty relating to one field or another, include it. Are they especially good at invention? Chemistry? Biology? You can also add a section for literature and artisinal aspects if you would like.

== Traditional Clothing and Fashion ==

Clothing and fashion varies from person to person, some prefer to wear loose fitting clothing to allow their fur to lay nicely, some prefer to wear tight fitting clothing to flatten their fur. As a general, fur is often a topic of fashion and allows one to express themself. While fur is in natural color ranges and hues for normal canines of their climate region, fur dye is becoming more common. Fur can also be manipulated in the same way as hair allowing for hair styles, braiding, and modification of length.

Tattooing is possible, it is colloquially known as tattooing though the process is more in line with freeze-dry branding. This method makes the branded fur regrow white. Accessories on the ears are common as well as other types of piercings. Done traditionally as a way to represent rites of passage or respect nature, but can also be for self expression. Accessories on the tail are also common: ribbons, feathers, chains, and other fun inclusions.

== Occupations ==

The point of this section is to list some fields that this species could specialize in to give people more ideas for their character.

== Starships and Space Travel ==

What does travel look like for this species? What do ships native to their planet look like? Do they travel often? Do they have bustling ports or are they more closed off?

== Cultural Quirks and Daily Life ==

In their eyes, forces of nature are personified and are something that can be interacted with and have the power to affect daily life. If rain is required, they may perform a ritual to invoke its spirit to bring rain fall. As a result, may have some trouble relating to societies that place division between natural and supernatural. Or societies that do not believe in the inherent idea of the soul in all things.

When pups are growing up, they will often play fight as a way to develop social, physical and communication skills. Pups may also chase their tails and nibble on their ears or paws.

As the pack takes care of one another, all members of the pack are involved in raising pups and taking care of the elderly.

Canari body language is very important for understanding the context of speech and actions.

Canari have a tendency to be loud, as they do not have threats that would require the stealth that is customary for the Felari. They can feel uncomfortable with silence and long pauses in conversation, they are yappers.

Canari dislike artificial lighting, they greatly enjoy lying in the warm rays of the sun.

Canari deeply enjoy sports such as soccer or track as it provides an outlet for their boundless energy.

Everyday rituals are common, small acts that pay back to nature and the spirits.

== Notable Locations ==

List important places tied to this species.

== Interactions With Other Species ==

Due to their social nature, the Canari have an open stance when interacting with other species. They enjoy forging relationships and ties.

* The Canari and the Felari, their neighbors on Virilune, have had a long history of conflict due to cultural differences and tendencies. Recent generations have shifted towards peace with the goal of sharing ideas and learning from each other's progress, rebuilding trust through mutual understanding and cooperation. Felari and Canari work together most notably in the pursuit of bio-technological advancement.
* The Canari have established trade with the Aurelians, organic materials in exchange for contemporary technology. Mainly the Canari trade with the Aurelians for tools and machines that assist with the harvesting and processing of animal and plant products. In return, the Canari provide organic materials such as animal products and specialty dishes. The Canari don’t understand the Aurelian’s dislike of magic and find them limited by the way they organize themselves and their society.

Recent generations have shifted towards peace with the goal of sharing ideas and learning from each other's progress, rebuilding trust through mutual understanding and cooperation. Felari and Canari work together most notably in the pursuit of bio-technological advancement.
* The Canari have established trade with the Aurelians, organic materials in exchange for contemporary technology. Mainly the Canari trade with the Aurelians for tools and machines that assist with the harvesting and processing of animal and plant products. In return, the Canari provide organic materials such as animal products and specialty dishes. The Canari don’t understand the Aurelian’s dislike of magic and find them limited by the way they organize themselves and their society.

<blockquote>
''"Quit chasing your own tail and go help your sister with the harvesting!" — A tired Canari mother''
</blockquote>

A short overview of the species goes here. This should briefly summarize what they are, where they come from, and their general role in the setting.

This page is intended as a template and guide for creating new species pages. Please copy this page when creating a new entry.

== Core Worldview ==

What is this species' outlook on the world? What is their main mentality?<blockquote>
''“Be sure to say thanks to the spirits of the trees before you take from them, they worked hard to grow for us, it's the least we could do to give back.” - A kind older sister teaching her younger brother''</blockquote>The Canari view their homeworld and by extension the universe as an interconnected system. There is life in everything and nature itself is a sign of something greater. They believe that in order to live a good life, you must take care of those you love and tend to the world around you, if you do these things all will work out eventually. They believe that when one dies, their soul will return to the cycle and begin anew.

== Physiology and Design ==

What do these guys look like physically? Why? What adaptations to their environment do they have? How long do they live (feel free to scale this based on human lifespans, feel free to take the number I supplied for Odyssey's worldbuilding)

== Social Structures and Community ==

Are there cities? Towns? How do families work? Hierarchy? Governance?

== Religion and Spirituality ==

What do they believe in religiously, if at all? Are there gods? Do they worship the Nullstar? Fear it?

== Technology and Science ==

Here you guys can expand. If there's a specialty relating to one field or another, include it. Are they especially good at invention? Chemistry? Biology? You can also add a section for literature and artisinal aspects if you would like.

== Traditional Clothing and Fashion ==

I urge you to think of what would be practical to wear given the species' line of work and environment, but also how the species would choose to dress and accessorize given their biology and physical traits. Have fun with this!

== Occupations ==

The point of this section is to list some fields that this species could specialize in to give people more ideas for their character.

== Starships and Space Travel ==

What does travel look like for this species? What do ships native to their planet look like? Do they travel often? Do they have bustling ports or are they more closed off?

== Cultural Quirks and Daily Life ==

A big trivia section, basically. I'd encourage incorporating animal mannerisms and fun little traits that don't fit anywhere else.

== Notable Locations ==

List important places tied to this species.

== Interactions With Other Species ==

Especially the other species that they share the planet with. You may need to work with the other teams for this. But I'd like to see this section just to foster more player interactions from the get-go. It's easy plot hooks.
