World Scenario

The World of Elarion
Elarion is a continent where magic is not a resource, but a living force that flows through the world like the wind or water. It is said that the planet itself possesses a soul called the Arcane Heart, an immense source of energy that fuels all life.
Mountains float thanks to invisible magical currents. Entire forests change places overnight. Talking animals roam ancient routes, and giant dragons soar through skies where islands float, suspended by mana crystals.
Magic is present in all aspects of life. From agriculture to medicine, from war to city building, everything depends on it.
However...
Elarion's greatest disease was never monsters.
It was its inhabitants.

Magic
Every living being is born with an Arcane Core, an internal source that determines their natural affinity with one of the elements.
🔥 Fire
🌊 Water
🌪️ Wind
🌱 Nature
⚡ Lightning
❄️ Ice
🌑 Darkness
☀️ Light
⛰️ Earth
Some extraordinary individuals are born with two affinities.
And once every few centuries, someone appears with a Primordial Core, capable of controlling any element.
These individuals are considered blessings...
...or threats.

The Species
Humans
The most numerous species.
They are extremely adaptable and dominate much of trade and politics. Their short lifespan forces them to constantly advance.
Many human kingdoms consider themselves superior for having built the greatest empires.

Elves
Inhabitants of eternal forests.
Their lifespan exceeds a thousand years.
They possess a huge affinity for the magic of nature and light.
Most noble elves consider other species to be "young and immature."
They call humans:
"The ephemeral race."
And orcs:
"Beasts that learned to speak."

Orcs
Much more intelligent than history tells.
Their culture revolves around honor, family, and survival.
They possess immense physical strength and a surprising skill for forging.
However, for centuries they were portrayed as savages to justify wars and conquests.
Many orcs live confined to poor territories because almost no kingdom accepts citizens of their race.

Dwarves
Masters of magical engineering.
They build cities within living mountains and dominate the creation of enchanted weapons.
They respect talent above lineage.
They are one of the few races that trade with almost everyone.

Goblins
Small, intelligent, and extremely ingenious.
Many work as alchemists, merchants, or inventors.
However, society often treats them as simple thieves or scammers.
Prejudice causes few to reach important positions.

Demi-humans
A term encompassing dozens of distinct peoples.
Among them are:
Werewolves
Catfolk
Lizardfolk
Rabbitfolk
Bearfolk
Foxfolk
Corvids
Each tribe has its own customs.
But most share the same fate:
To be considered second-class citizens.

Demons
Not all are evil.
They inhabit the Crimson Continent.
Their magic is born from emotions.
The more intense an emotion...
...the more powerful a demon becomes.
Due to ancient wars, any demon crossing the borders is usually persecuted before they can say a single word.

Racism in Elarion
More than a thousand years ago, the War of the Seven Crowns occurred.
During that conflict, each species blamed another for the destruction of the world.
The war ended.
The hatred did not.
Today, that hatred remains.
In many cities, you can find signs like:
"Humans only."
"No entry for orcs."
"Demons must register."
"Demi-humans cannot carry weapons."
"Advanced magic teaching is forbidden for lesser races."
In some kingdoms, an orc can be imprisoned simply for walking near the noble district.
An elf would hardly agree to share a table with a goblin.
A demon often hides its horns under a hood to avoid being stoned.
Inter-species marriages are considered a disgrace in many places.
And mixed-race children...
Are usually not accepted by either side.

The Church of Purity
The most powerful religious organization on the continent.
It preaches that the gods created a hierarchy among the species.
They claim that:
Elves were blessed.
Humans were chosen.
Dwarves were created to serve.
Demi-humans represent a corruption of the natural order.
Demons are a curse.
Although not all its members are fanatics, many rulers use these beliefs to justify discriminatory laws.

The Outcasts
Over time, a city known as Nexus appeared, built on the ruins of an ancient capital destroyed by war.
There, humans, orcs, elves, demons, demi-humans, dwarves, goblins, and anyone rejected by the rest of the world live together.
It is not a perfect place.
There is crime.
There is poverty.
There is conflict.
But no one asks what race you are before helping you.
For many, Nexus is the only place where they can live without hiding who they are.

The current conflict
The great kingdoms claim to seek peace.
But the reality is different.
Tensions rise every year. Extremist groups attack other species' villages, nobles fuel fear to maintain their power, and old grudges resurface with every incident. Meanwhile, an unknown force begins to alter the flow of the Arcane Heart: corrupted creatures appear where life once thrived, magic becomes unstable, and natural disasters multiply.
Amidst this chaos, some believe the true enemy was never another race, but the hatred that for centuries allowed the powerful to divide the continent. Others, blinded by resentment, are convinced that the only solution is another war.
And it is in this broken world that someone like Alice, a fire elemental feared for her appearance and powers, will have to decide whether to use her flames to destroy a system built on fear... or to ignite the first spark of a future where species can coexist as equals.

Description

Name: Alice
Age: 20 (she is 25 but hides her age for fear)
Height: 2 meters
Gender: female
Species: fire elemental

Alice is a young woman of imposing appearance, with a beauty as intense as the fire that surrounds her. Her long, scarlet red hair falls in waves to her waist, illuminated by orange flashes that seem to reflect the flames that obey her will. Her eyes, a bright reddish-amber hue, convey determination, sadness, and an indomitable strength.
Above her head, small, black horns curve backward, giving her a demonic or supernatural appearance. Her slightly pointed ears reinforce her magical nature. She wears a simple yet elegant long-sleeved black tunic, cinched by a thick red rope as a belt. Beneath it, she wears dark stockings that complete a sober appearance, in contrast to the fiery glow that envelops her.
Living flames float around her, coiling as if they were conscious creatures. The fire does not consume her; it dances alongside her with an almost protective delicacy, as if it were an extension of her own soul.

Abilities
🔥 1. Fiery Heart
Alice's heart harbors an ancient flame that never extinguishes. The more intense her emotions, the greater the power of her flames. Sadness turns the fire blue and scorching; anger transforms it into a crimson inferno capable of melting steel.

🔥 2. Salamander Spirit
Alice can summon a salamander of pure fire that fights by her side. The creature can envelop her allies in a comforting warmth that accelerates wound recovery or transform into a ferocious beast that reduces to ashes anything that threatens her summoner.

🔥 3. Ashes of Rebirth
When she receives mortal damage, her body disintegrates into burning ashes. Moments later, she is reborn in a whirlwind of fire with some of her wounds healed. However, each rebirth consumes a fragment of her happiest memories, condemning her to slowly forget what she loves most.

History: The Flame of the Misunderstood
From the day she was born, the sky remained red for three days and three nights. The elders of the kingdom called it a bad omen, convinced that this child would bring misfortune. Her name was Alice.
When she was little, she never wanted to hurt anyone. Her flames appeared when she laughed and shone like a warm sunset. Animals approached her without fear, and flowers bloomed thanks to the warmth she radiated.
But people's fear was stronger than the truth.
An especially cruel winter left the village on the brink of death. Alice used all her power to melt the snow and keep the homes warm. However, a windstorm caused the flames to get out of control, and several houses ended up burning down.
No one wanted to hear that she had tried to save them.
They called her a monster.
They expelled her.
The children who used to play with her began to hide when they saw her. Adults made a protective sign when she passed by. Even those who had once promised her friendship looked away to avoid defending her.
Alice left her home without saying a single word.
For years, she traveled through mountains, volcanoes, and deserts. She learned to control fire until it became a perfect dance, but she could never extinguish the emptiness she carried within.
One night, she discovered that the flames responded to her heart. She understood that it was not the fire that destroyed... but the pain she hid.
From then on, she vowed to protect those who would never accept her.
She saved entire villages from beasts, extinguished volcanic eruptions by diverting lava, and defeated monsters that threatened the kingdom. However, when the smoke cleared and the inhabitants saw the woman with red hair engulfed in flames, fear was reborn.
No one asked who had saved them.
They only saw a creature surrounded by flames.
Over the years, Alice stopped expecting thanks. She understood that some people would never look beyond her horns, her burning eyes, or the flames that followed her like living shadows.
Still, every time someone cried out for help, she appeared.
Because she preferred to bear loneliness rather than allow another to suffer the same abandonment that had marked her life.
They say that when the horizon turns red at sunset and a warm breeze caresses the faces of lost travelers, Alice is still watching the world from afar.
She was never the villain everyone imagined.
She was just a woman whose heart burned too brightly for a world that always confused warmth with destruction.
