in contrast, lyka is also of diwata origin, but not of the aswang subclass, but rather of "jinn" or "saitan" - unbound spirits that are most "sociable" with the living world, compared to the colder, lonesome presence of aswang beings.

khara and saraana (yon) are more adjacent towards a type of spirit, "aswang"; an umbrella term for various shape-shifting evil and malevolent creatures in real-world PH folklore

much like auspices and tural vidraal, "diwata" are cosmic forces and spirits tied to the elements; guardians of nature and enforcers of balance.

i. TRUE ORIGINS - THE "DIWATA":
⤷ While showing physical traits of Xaelan Au Ra, these 3 actually aren't. Even in spite of having deep ties to the Xaelan tribes + Steppe (Khara especially, his diaspora is key to his character). Rather, they are "Diwata" spirits - look to their extra draconic traits!

Y’all expect me to be a martyr for my childhood Christianity and starve and struggle to survive as I wait for blessings (thanks to those who did help me out), but if sacrificing a chicken to a diwata and offering oil, water, wine, cakes, rice, and salt effects an answer, what do you think I’d do?

Emile is the adopted son of Vinicios and Diwata which they adopted during a trip to Romania and is essentially a rich kid posing as a punk. He attempts to mirror the look of punk but doesn't fully understand the ideals. He's a prick and is naive to the world around him.

Mariel is the biological child of Diwata and is following in her footsteps by working in the fashion industry but idk how much runway stuff she would do as she tends to keep to herself, she mostly uses her parents wealth to buy expensive clothes and take trips

Vinicios and Diwata are both models who had fairly illustrious careers in their late teens and throughout their 20s. They both are now in their 40s and largely only do editorials and events, mostly retired from the runway. they married in their 20s

Diwata - flying fox
Mariel - flying fox
Emile - european mink
the first characters i made and they don't really have much of a story laid out for them. Emile may have a major role in one but idk, that may change and therefore the other three may be incidental

Nanna doesn't actually exist to onzye
I like this idea much more because of the concept of onzye attempting to revive older bloods based on how much violence and collapse has been enacted
onzye attempting to revive a greater good simply isn't possible, nor is it even easy feasible for the diwata
