Sorry!

I owe you guys an apology. I'm sorry the rest of this post is two days late. The internet went down at the lab, and I was in bed for a lot of yesterday due to illness. Still, better late than never! Here's Zasters description and some information on Ether Trees.


Zaster

Age: 16
Hit: Poetry, her brothers
Miss: cruelty, hurry
Self-Description: Fun
Described by others as: Fun and very kind.

Superpower: Ether manipulation through the use of martial arts and dances- invulnerable to ether attacks
Superproblem- mute, easily fatigued

Despite being mute, Zaster can be the most obnoxious member of the family. With a prankster nature and an old soul, she has the patience and the forethought necessary to pull off truly legendary practical jokes. Easygoing and loyal, her friendly exterior belies her observant interior. Very protective.


ETHER TREES:

A lot of creatures in the world live on ether or use it for survival. Ether trees have found one of the more efficient ways to use it. An Ether tree actually bears more biological resemblance to a lily pad than to a tree. After powerfully rooting itself in the surrounding soil, the tree uses its wide leaves to lift iself off on Ether current, which carries it closer to the sun. Trees typically can't go above the cloudline, so that the earth they carried with them can retain water. Ether trees drop seeds from their roots.

Because a mature trees roots can extend for up to two miles, and ether trees are frequently a dominant species wherever they're seeded, floating islands are common. They do present dangers- those who live on them are always traveling as the island floats on ether currents, and when the trees die, the island crashes to the ground. All floating islands are city states. Some of the richer of them can afford gardeners or pressurized ether tubes to keep the island afloat even after the first trees are dead.

Trees are also used for transportation. Ether Trains are common for travel between islands, but for ground to air or vice versa, most people take Ether Cars.

Thats all for now. Later!
