Umbra form notes
Umbra Name
Umbra can be named after flora or fauna from their world (Twoshrews, Muscari) places or roles (Wissendene, Keeper Claw, ), an old English name like Jenny or Meg, or something made up that sounds right (Amorrie, Brughe).
Element
These are usually evident from how the Umbra materialise into and out of our world – ‘she stepped into shadow and was gone’
Type
The most common female: Nymphs, Sylphs, Sprites, Dryads, Selkies, Hags;
male: Goblins, Imps, Dwarves, Spriggans, Drus.
Elves can be either.
Personality
George Gracegirdle’s illustrations for a pack of cards had four suits: Tides = changeable; Dreams = elusive; Flies = gregarious; Storms = chaotic
Gender
Umbra usually are the alternative sex to their human ally. Among the exceptions are Mr Hurting and Brughe, who are both male or you can leave it blank
Description
Describe them by personality and appearance, their role in their world or where they hang out.
They may have special abilities or powers, but these are largely of the unhelpful variety (for example, Twoshrews’ ‘Truthsense’ mainly makes him a gullible fool). Feel free to add an image URL in the text.
