abilities. |
All Nues have the ability to lull others into sleep. Their eyes have a magical effect on others, which is extremely helpful for those that have a form of insomnia. At younger ages Nues cannot control this ability and as such simply have to have someone look into their eyes to lull them to sleep. Luckily they cannot affect most, if not all, other Nues making it as easy as it would be to take care of their young.
There are two other abilities that Nues have which include: jumping into others dreams (but not being able to affect them) and living in their own little dream world (which they could technically stay in forever if they kept themselves from waking up). Besides the above, Nues are typically renowned for their amazing capabilities of sight. Due to the many eyes they have they have excellent sight (if a Nue doesn't then it's considered a curse in the family tree.) This means while humans have a limit to how far the eye can see, Nues sight is limitless and magical. The extreme humans often attempt to steal their eyes to figure out how Nues are capable of seeing so limitless. |
eating. |
Although Nues do not have to eat or drink things to sustain themselves some may do it purely for the taste and fun of it. Eatery found in Nue made towns/cities are consider delicacy's and are typically extremely costly.
The question remains, though, how do Nues eat? When a Nue slightly touches anything/any substance they want to consume it will rapidly dissolve into a clear gelatin-like substance, still retaining the flavor. Once the object is completely dissolved the Nue will absorb the gelatin causing an explosion of flavor and feeling inside their body. A Nue who has discovered the joy of eating will typically be addicted after said feeling, as it entirely engulfs a Nues being and causes intense feelings of joy and high. Things like gems, or even other people if the Nue is extreme and deadly, can be eaten in the same process but do take longer to dissolve into the substance (food items take seconds, small objects could take minutes, larger could takes days to weeks). It is well known that the really insane Nues have found a way to cheat the length of time it takes for their extreme tasties to dissolve, simply cutting them up into smaller pieces. |
lore. |
Nues are renowned for their long lives, some even living over 2,000 years. This often makes others come up with insane stories of god-like beings or creepy creatures that haunt their children. However as the years have gone on the Nue's lore and stories have completely died out and become lost to the ages.
Glass Nues are rumored to shatter and "bleed" out. This is convenient for those that hunt the precariously rare Nue for the spoils. It's rumored that Nues are simply mutated humans, considering the fact that they still hold the same as humans. Although the more likely explanation is simply that Nues are alien beings to Earth, not that came that from outer space, but that mutated through organisms already on Earth. Nues commonly "upgrade" themselves, giving them limitless ways of how they may appear. It's rumored there are even full on gemmed Nues! How fortunate would it be for a human to find one like that, assuming their intentions are malicious. |
culture. |
Nues live on earth among humans, however they have learned to mask their presence and make their own cities. Commonly they live on abandoned islands or underground, or, for cold Nues, they live in abandoned snow lands. Interaction between each other is like interaction between anyone, the only type to commonly get shunned is gore. Besides this they have their own clothes makers, uniquely built homes, and do not have to hunt to eat making it easy for them to befriend animals and keep them as pets. It is common to find a city-wide pet (meaning one animal that is considered blessed and worshiped by the entire city).
