I like the castes and novo a lot. The novo having animal traits is cool(I am a sucker for demi-humans) and the castes, well they are basically mages so that's also awesome
The Novo seem the most interesting to me. Having so much variety based on animal species on top of people being able to be half Novo, I'd imagine they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
I came thinking this was a TTRPG in the making. The worldbuilding still sounds super interesting so looking forward to whatever projects come out of this 👍👍
Thanks Stephen ✌️! Ttrpg components are some of many that drive the fundamentals to my story's world building. I'm looking forward to sharing more with you :)
Men sounds like race of anime Protoganists. But not in the bad way. More intresting than usual humans without powers and with huge population and tech. Would like to hear about nonhuman races
Haha @foxplay I'm glad you think so :) Then you'll love the main protagonist of the novel. Something else tells me you'll appreciate another important race that's non-human that I plan to share in the future. Glad to hear your thoughts
I'm attempting to write a fantasy project of my own and flip though youtube for inspiration What I really liked is the very distinct lines you drew between all the races They are all "humans" and all have distinct "magical" attributes that sell them with the idea of "there is no normal, just variations of weird humans" Removing true humans is a great step towards cool worldbuilding liked your video!
i think men are the most interesting because their abilities are so different from the other two and its more unique than things i may have seen before with magic systems or fantasy wildlife
🙏🏽 Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed designing the concept of Men for my universe. I was influenced by Frank Herbert's approach to the evolution of the human species seen in Dune and wanted a species that did similar in my own lore
Hey man cool video :) you should try lowering the music audio and increasing your voiceover. Some parts are fine, but others are soft. Everything else looks great!
Can't wait to hear more about the different nations and cultures! Do the different cultures of Castes ascribe different meanings to certain runic tats and their shape and placement on the body? Do the pure Novo look down upon the mixed novo? What do the Castes think of the magic of the Novo and vice versa?
Can't wait to share more with you :) Different caste tribes make their tattoos differently, like comparing henna styles VS old Slavic body tattoos. The tattoos have an influence on their magic usage as well. And novo generally are very community centered and accepting regardless of gene expression quality. There are some who do look down, but generally that ideology is shunned by mainstream novo culture :)
@@creativeanimus You mentioned in the video that the Castes imprint the tattoos upon themselves at birth(Like the baby imprinting itself), how would different tribes make them differently? Or did I misunderstand?
@@003mohamud Right - except the baby doesn't imprint it on themself, that part might have been misunderstood. In this case, at birth an elder, parent, guardian, or tribe leader imprints the tattoos on them. It's imprinted by someone else at an early age👌
Picking a favourite somehow seems kinda racist in-world, so I’mma just say that they all sound awesome rad and now I wanna know more about zil and these demigods Good stuff o7
What makes man naturally good with technology? I understand and love the idea of Zil, which is basically having that Dog in you, but how is technology unique to humans? The other species could still make and use technology the same as them or are humans just smarter. What exactly do you have in mind.
Technology actually isn't unique to man, it's just that their tribe has industrialized the fastest due to their cultural inclination to (think of a similar analogy to dwarves and mining). "Minor - Technomancy" however, is unique to men, but again with a very small percentage of them possessing it
@@creativeanimus I see, thanks for the info, your stuff is just 👌keep up the glorious work. So Zil and Technomancy for Man, got you 👍 Its just I understand the logic of Zil which is about human perseverance and will but how does man have Technomancy. It's not really a detail I mind just how does it relate to their god like the other species

So glad to hear it - I had fun creating both, each for their similarities and differences :) Novo have *a lot* of diversity
I was half expecting him to say hamites, shemites and japhethites
Haha nah, not at all
The Novo seem the most interesting to me. Having so much variety based on animal species on top of people being able to be half Novo, I'd imagine they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
So glad to hear it :) The novo were one of my favorite race concepts for that exact reason. There will be plenty in the story
I like them a lot as well. Mostly because I think the idea of having dragonfly wings like Suchan from Jungle Juice is super cool.
@@KazehareRaiden it's my first time hearing of that series and character. Cool character design

liked your video!
Happy you're finding inspiration through my world. Thanks @Midasfury6165 :)
Absolutely digging your artstyle! Also I would have to go with Novo race. The idea of having primal abilities/transformations is hard to pass up.
I agree, Novo do get some pretty nice abilities :) Very glad to hear you like the style!

That damn music is so loud
Unfortunately. Audio mixing was biffed using a pluggin.
"I remade humans into three species! Let's start with the furries..."
Hey man cool video :) you should try lowering the music audio and increasing your voiceover. Some parts are fine, but others are soft. Everything else looks great!
Thanks @prcr364! The audio's the one regret for this upload :) But I totally agree, next time for sure
I like the vid. sounds like you have some cool lore cooking. The music is loud in some sections especially when high notes are played.
Sadly, yes. The audio *does* have sections where the mix didn't produce correctly. But I'm glad to hear you enjoy the content :)
I'd like to see some of the tech used.
There's a lot to show :) it would make for a good new video
kewl!
So glad you think so Vivian :)

Haha Those are both deep / foundational subjects in the world :) We'll see more about them in the future. Thanks @disgruntledbob2812

Castes is my favorite because…I’m a sucker for magic users I can’t wait to learn more about this world keep going!🫶🏽🙂↔️
There will be plenty more to come 😉
