Duende - Fantôme

“The smell of being lost in an enchanted forest.”

“Giant lotus pads part to make way for buds that pierce the surface of the jade green pond. They raise their faces to the sun, their delicate fragrance floating around them.

A sort of list of ghoul headcanons i have! Its a big ol thing with mostly anatomy sooo read under the cut :3

Forms and glamours

Ghouls typically have four stages to a glamour. Well, three to four.

Stage glamour:

What it says on the tin, the whole mask and everything, they look akin to humans anatomy wise (with some exceptions, i.e if a ghoul is mutated, but more on that later) but the mask is in fact, well.. part of their anatomy. They just have a second 'face' under that looks akin to their human glamours. This glamour is specifically provided for when an instrument is tied to them, and lasts for how long they play and then about an hour. It can also stack from past practices and whatnot, so depending on how long theyve been there and bonded, it can in fact vary.

Full glamours:

Carbon copies of human anatomy (again, with some exception), you cannot tell the difference between a ghoul and a human if they are glamoured like this. It is, however, extremely taxing to do so, and will end up tiring them out quickly. Depending on how much they do it, however, they can increase the duration. At the bare minimum, its about an hour before they have to turn back.

Unglamour 1:

This is, essentially, the more humanized versions. They look more like how people portray demons, with the horns and tails and other unhuman features, and features can vary from type to type. Such as:

Water: Fins, Scales, Tail is sort of like a fish.

Fire: Dragonlike in appearance, slits in eyes, tail is absent of a spade.

Earth: Goat, Deer or Elklike in appearance. Most earth ghouls have hooves, but can also have normal legs if they so wish. Tail is spiked and has a spiked spade.

Air: Fluff and fur on some spots (Knees and below) Their tails resemble a lion's. Some air ghouls have wings, but they are rare, and pretty small.

Quintessence: Space-like in appearance. Most older Quintessence ghouls have their bodies put together, but you can find small wisps emitting from the younger ones. Due to their matter not exactly being the most.. stable, they can in fact shapeshift!

Multi: Varies wildly, depending on proficiency of element, or what elements they were raised with back in the pit.

Unglamour 2:

Monster-like in appearance, you do not want to engage, as when the ghouls are in this form, they are most likely hunting. Forms can vary wildly, but still following the rules of the criteria above.. just, more. Quintessence is the only one with a major difference from the ones, as they are masses of dark matter. If you look closely, you can see specks that look almost like stars.

Element stuff:

Fire:

Fire ghouls are the most common ghouls in the pit, along with water. They can be found all around the pit, and can vary from pitborn to those who were human.

Earth:

Earth ghouls are in tune with the nature and, well, earth sround them. They can sense the weather (depending on the severity, it can in fact turn into a migrane) and have a bit of control over the plants around them.

The earth ghouls are the ones that were closest to the earth, its rare of them to be seen deeper in the pits. Most of them are humans turned ghoul.

Air:

Air and Earth ghouls typically are in the same areas, though they're typically born in the pits, unlike the earth ghouls.

Water:

Water ghouls are essentially like fire, there's a surplus of them in the pits, and can vary from pitborn to people that were once human.

Quintessence:

Quintessence ghouls are.. a peculiar type of ghoul. Exclusively pit-born, if you could even call them that. Really, they come from an area outside of it, a void. They dont have actual physical forms before summoning.

Their powers are upon the belief that humans had that dark matter, or the element quintessence, could cure any ailment. They're, by far, the most powerful type of ghouls, as this power allows the most skilled to tap into someone's mind, and due to their own lack of solid form, they can shapeshift at will.

Multi:

Multighouls are seen wildly different in the pits than in the surface. As, well, there isnt any way to channel certain elements in the pit. So, theyre considered to have no element. However, with the ability to channel certain elements in the ministry, multighouls possess the ability to have multiple elements, although their abilities are much more limited, and purely based on their proficiency with the instrument correlating with the element. They are pit-born exclusively, with a recessive gene that causes the ability to use multiple elements.

Instruments

Instruments are the main channel of elements. When given an instrument, a ghoul can bond to it, giving them access to their stage glamours. They can replenish energy, however, sleep is more efficient. Each ghoul has a specific one theyre bonded to, however it can change, and they can have multiple.

Transitions and mutations

Transitions are only available without risk to ghouls that have the multighoul gene, but are not multighouls.

Sodo had the multighoul gene, Delta, sadly, did not. (Even then, quintessence transitions are tricky.)

The ritual performed to do so causes extreme pain, and puts the ghoul subject to it out of commission. This process varies depending on the element they are transitioning to. Only the quintessence ritual requires the presence of other ghouls, and one cannot be sure what they do.

Mutations, well, there was only one instance of it occuring. (And FUCK YOU IM INCLUDING MY OC'S LORE IDC I AM CRINGE I AM FREE.)

Typically, summoning rituals need no other animal, mammal, creature, or any being in the circle. However, there was one time where a mistake was made, and a spider crawled in there.

The ritual was attempted to be cancelled, however, it was too late, summoning a ghoul with the features of the same spider.

Mutated ghouls cannot glamour well, as their mutations cannot go under glamours.

Whether they were like this before or not, nobody knows.

Hiii Comet!!! Gonna send it again cus my memory issues leave me with anxious thoughts—

Anyway, I've been thinking lately about ghoulish more like tribe-life in the Pit. About all those different habits and traditions that ghouls have in their packs, clans, species.

And I totally have a brain rot about fire ghouls thing. We know how they can be hot-headed, right? Perhaps, they're, or just some of clans are the most aggressive/hostile ghouls out of all. Okay-okay, I know it's a casual thing that maybe other clans and elements can be the same, but let's think like it's at least a general stereotype.

Fire ghouls have harsh rules in their clans, bloody traditions, sometimes their favourite dish is the flesh of their own kind. Conflicts between clans, conflicts between clan members, packmates, they fight to prove their strength, they fight to show off, maybe to find a mate.

So, I've been thinking that some of clans have a tradition, when every ghoul grows their hair. Oh, they love sometimes to weave rings or beads into it, or something else, shiny and pretty. Long and thick hair is a sign of the strength, body spirit, health.. But! If a ghoul would lost a battle, or even a sparring for title, their hair cuts off, fully or just a little bit, depends on the winner. (It would be great if a ghoul would stay alive)

The sign of the weakness, defeat. The longer it takes to grow the hair back the less the ghoul is respected. They seem less attractive, either, because fire ghouls love strength, it's their mantra.

How about Dew? When he became a fire ghoul for sure, taking more their appearance, I think he took this one tradition too? Maybe he heard it from someone, on the Topside or in the Pit, maybe he knew. I mean, even if he had longer hair even before, it looks even more symbolic now. His beautiful long hair. Sign of his victory, even if ghouls don't fight there anymore. Sign that he is not broken, even if sometimes he doesn't feel okay.

He won when he found his place and purpose, won when he finally began to live in the body in which he feels like himself. Newfound peace. Power. Willpower.

And what about other fire ghouls? What about Ifrit? First of all, I think that he's most 'tamed' one. He left all those silly traditions behind, adapting to the new world. The second thing is no matter how I like the thought of meany Ifrit, I LOVE the idea of him being golden retriever boyfriend. Cheerful and friendly.

Perhaps he is from a better clan, who knows. He doesn't seem harsh and rude. He knows about that tradition as well, but prefers to not have that long hair. It's enough for him just to take care of it, making it a little fluffy, shiny. But as you know he appreciates power/strength as well! :^) If you know you know

Hmm, what about Alpha? Honestly, I'm still thinking about him. He is an old one, so perhaps he has his own traditions too..

Have a nice day!!!🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

So many good fire ghoul thoughts! I agree with you. I think Fire Ghouls in the pit can be nasty. That living as can be hard and deadly and you really do have to prove your worth. And the traditions around hair? WONDERFUL. I like to think there are different factions of them that come from different parts of the pit. I sort of relate the fire ghouls to the different zodiac fire signs (this is because I am one and I can't help it). We have our Aries (Alpha. Oldest. Quick to anger. Wears his heart on his sleeve. Cannot hold his tongue). Our Leo (Ifrit. Middle child. Fun loving. So much self esteem and ego. Loud, and a lot. His decisions are the right decisions always). And our Sagittarius (Dew. Youngest. A little Aloof. Reckless. Blunt. Adventerous). And obviously this mutates and changes, but it makes sense to me in this context. They are so so different and yet...they are made of the same stuff. I'm going to be thinking about fire ghouls and where they come from and all their different traditions and rituals for a while now. THANK YOU, this is wonderfullll.
