That's the first horse drawn house carriage I've ever conceived of, I like it better than their tree tower.

horse drawn carriages are just little houses

yes, lamplighters are vampires in that they start to die in direct ardentlight and drink blood to survive, but that's about it. they're a normal race who've been here since before time began

a curse vampire is afflicted with a curse by Calamity, the God of Curses, and as such, whatever narrative role they originally had with regards to their race is usurped by their new nature, which is definitionally a curse on both themselves and everyone around them, so fear of curse-vampires (true or real vampires) is a valid and justified fear

for starters, lamplighters are just unicorns who feed on blood and wilt in the sunlight. curse-vampires are functionally dead and animated by a curse (ghost element) version of their soul. being fed on by a lamplighter hurts a bit but you're probably getting paid for it, and some people make their living being lamplighter food, it's nice. being fed on by a curse-vampire is often non-consensual and passes on some of its curse to you, ranging from having a few days of bad luck to being doomed to die to being turned into a curse-vampire yourself, depending on how often or how intensely you've been fed on

being around a lamplighter is difficult because their entire race is magically superior and so they're all arrogant jerks. being around a curse-vampire is difficult because they are surrounded by a haze of bad fortune that has to go SOMEwhere and if it isn't ending up on their neighbors well it's. it's going to go somewhere and maybe you might not want to know where it goes if you're friends with one to be honest.

despite being arrogant and often racist jerks lamplighters are otherwise pretty much normal people you can be friends with. curse-vampires are aware they're now very different from everyone else around them, and no matter how hard they try to hold on to their personhood, eventually they're going to start taking convenient shortcuts because they're an immortal ghost-monster and you're just another mortal. no, no, i'm sure you'll be different, though!

curse-vampires aren't actually all that bad, though. the intensity of their curses, both directed at themselves as weaknesses and to be directed outwards at neighbors, is proportional to their vampire powers. so long as the curse-vampire doesn't seek to expand their curse-powers they're very safe. i'm sure having a button you can press for "more superpowers" isn't tempting at all and in an immortal lifespan they're never going to start pushing the button more and more.

This is wonderful in every way, from the design of the wizard lord to the "you're also very short" line. Really love the treehome, too. I imagine that miss pretty green would feel right at home there, but that might be slightly racist.
I always enjoy your bios for the species, too. I like the difference you describe between the types of vampires and the idea of focusing on the curse element inherent in them; a bundle of walking curses.

it would be extremely racist, do you live in a house made of meat?

As a dead thing my body is more like a house that I move in and out of, so. Sort of?
Oh balls I guess that makes me a hermit crab.

i guess people also live in huts made from animal skin so like

Minecraft tree house.

uwi is basically minecraft

There's nothing wrong in many ocs, and I wish I was plant, too.
Plants can regenerate limbs and even better, make new selfs from severed parts! I wonder if Mrs. Plant can regenerate herself. I guess it's useful with such a teacher...

imagine wanting a little sibling so you cut your arm off and tend to it until it grows up... i think that should be canon

he's a boy, though, the problem with being a flower person is you're always very pretty no matter what you are

i don't think that's a problem really either though

magicks!

vampire magic is just as valid as any other!

At first I read this as "oh_good_more_orcs" and thought you added a whole new orc species to UWI

nah i don't touch nothing that weighted down with pop culture baggage with a ten foot pole

i mean i do have vampires but like

look vampires are cool,

she's short but has a tail long enough for two people! And how did she become mayor? By a regular election or by a different weird & wonderful method?

she's part snake, part cat, part fox, part hedgehog, and part deer, because ohno were brought into the world when a wandering god did sex on the universe and these are his children

she was elected the same way all the mage-mayors (magyors?) are elected: by being too powerful to not grant office to

that's quite a combination, and quite an effective election strategy as well! I'm sure she's a fine mayor even if she's a bit on the short side
