Overview

Thousands of years ago, the canvas of Spectradom was painted by the god of imagination, Celesta. The Three Sacred Treasures, the Drafting Pencil, Inking Pen, and Filling Brush are said to be relics from this time period. Each are associated with a certain species - sketches, figures, and kanvas.

Sketches

Example image coming soon

Sketches are, in effect, fae creatures. They are said to be the eldest of the three races to appear in Spectradom. Most take the appearance of humanoid elves or imp-like creatures. Their skin and hair colorations are similar in range to humans, though without the saturation.

Figures

Example image coming soon

Figures, or stickfigures, as the name implies are effectively Spectradom's human-analogues, as they do not have the pointed ears of sketches.

Kanvas

Example image coming soon

Kanvas are anthropomorphic creatures similar in appearance to canid and felid animals. They tend to have a monochromatic color scheme, though not gray like a sketch.

Quills and Shavings

Quills and shavings are small fairy-like creatures that do not get along. Both are able to use magical spells without use of a swatch, though they use their energy to do so, and may vanish if they use too much. These are spirits, and one could think of them as manifestations of "matter" and "antimatter" of the imaginary plane, as their powers are equal and opposite.

Quills are humanoids that often have animal features. They are connected to life, and their powers are strongest in places with more life energy, namely rainforests and temperate forests. Due to their animal features and sharing their natural swatch abilities, they're often associated with kanvas.

Shavings are demon-like creatures connected to decay, similar in nature to zombies or vampires. Their powers are strongest in desert environments. They are parasitic, feeding on the life energy of other beings. A shaving may turn into an imprint by consuming an entire soul, which usually appears like a faded or miscolored variant of the original body.
