Elfane Life Cycle - Female Aetherian
Doodled this up while I was waiting for
vinz to finish playing Crackdown 2 so we can sleep. I'm so tired. =_= Took an hour for this.

Elfane lay eggs. :V They develop in the body until they are birthed at 6 months. They must then be taken care of and kept warm until they hatch. They are a bit about half the size of a human baby, since Elfane are already smaller than humans, plus the egg is a bit smaller than an Elfane baby.
Baby Elfane are like baby humans. They don't do much at all. Their ears are floppy and their tails are small.
Toddler Elfane begin developing their magic. They have very little control over it. It's not seen often. Toddler Elfane learn fast and can already run and jump. Not the most graceful, but they can escape danger usually if left alone.
Child Elfane have learned how to manipulate their magic at will, though, at times, they may accidentally conjure something up. By now they're very alert and inquisitive.
Teenage Adolescent Elfane are formidable opponents. Full of life and ready to test out the limits of their power. They can keep up with the adults now. They begin to develop "whiskers"(think Eastern dragon or catfish. Not cat whiskers) at age 35, which is age 25 equivalent to humans.
Adult Elfane are very strong, physically and magically. They're at their peak. They fly best at this age.
Elderly Elfane have little physical strength towards the end of their life cycle, but are highly intelligent and very powerful with magic. Their bodies usually show signs of wear and tear, and their fur gets longer. This example is a female's life cycle, and this is assuming she's reproduced, so she has breasts now.
When the Elfane die, their soul is preserved in a rose. Aetherian Elfane produce the blue rose, and Chiropterian Elfane produce purple. They glow. When these roses are in proximity to the collectors shrines, they will be reincarnated. A rose that has ascended to reincarnation will fade to gray and eventually wither and die. Thus the cycle begins once more. If the rose is not returned to a shrine within 5 years, it will begin to die and the soul dies with it.
I wont make another for males or Chiropterian because it's very similar.
IM SO TIRED. This is probably crap and it probably makes no sense. GOOD NIGHT.

They are only recycled, thus it's very important that the Elfane be returned to their shrines. It's why the jobs of Collector are so important. They keep the species going. Every now and then, the Goddesses will create more souls, but I'm not sure how many and how often yet. I just imagine it would take a lot of energy to make more, so it would be rare.
Hmm. That addresses and solves the issue of a potential constant decrease in souls as any die. Makes for a precisely stable population for the most part it seems.
Now I'm curious... "We'd like to have a baby, but there are no souls available." What happens then? Are they just not fertile? Do they get a soulless child? Is it luck of the draw on who gets to be the parents of a soul when one becomes available? Or is the death rate higher than the birth rate so there is never a lack of souls?

I'm still going over this in my head.. I'm thinking that if they're in a "drought" and lacking enough souls, they'll just have to keep trying until some are available. Surprise pregnancies! :O I'd imagine if the population got low enough, the Elfane who are "pure breeding" would get priority on children. So, if we have a fire couple and a fire x ice couple who both want babies, the fire x fire couple will be chosen to reproduce because they will produce pure bred offspring to keep them going strong.

Only 110?
X3
Going from immortal to 110years.
:P
But this is AWESOME.
Major question answerage!

I love the rose idea, very poetic.
I hope they get a heaven :x
Don't like the idea of souls just stopping X3
-Whatever you decide will be awesome though I'm sure, it has been so far and nothing's likely to change that.
