"And affinities and what they look like."

"Right. Wulong... That's chinese dragons, right? Huh."

"Right. Not odd to meet one from Korea or Thailand, but you, ginger miss, must have one very far back."

"Who knows. Dad's a deadbeat... I can't really see myself as a dragon, though. I want to do a lot of magic, right, so the charge method seems most important? And the rez method. Can you just... Go down the list?"

"Method and storage. Getting mana out of your you into some other form is a hassle, so if you do not want to be generating it to always use right away, good to have plenty of space. Mimi have low storage, high speed - exact value varies witch by witch so these are low granularity, low medium high, but mimis are highest of the high - can pat their own heads for mana but it makes them sad. Oreads are double high, we get mana from being near our favorite people or critters. Luxals and neutrals are double medium - neutrals by sleep, luxals by being around 'spensive things, rocks and gold and such especially if they're worked fancy. Pharons, low speed high storage, charge off being famous - don't have to be popular, supervillain or cancelled on the interwebs works fine. Hannya have high storage medium speed, charge off getting drunk. Wulongs also high storage medium speed, being around art charges them, does not have to be pricey, do it by pirated ebooks and kids with crayons perhaps. Orcs high storage low speed, charge off having kids - fastest when pregnant, boy orcs get the raw deal. Gnomes medium storage high speed, they get mana by building contraptions. Dravir are also dragony; low storage medium speed, mana by wrecking shit, charge a lot faster if it's killing people. Daeva medium storage high speed, charge off other people's feelings - about them, one on one, or about something else, big groups at the football match. Nymphs like my girlfriend low storage high speed, get a charge of being desired like because they are so pretty so she can always tell when I have been thinking about her all day at work, or making people desire other things sales pitch style. This rule anything out or shall I do all the immortalities now?"

"...Rule out Hannya. Also probably Orc, and maybe Dravir. I'm not sure Nymph or Pharon is part of my best life but I'm not ruling it totally out? And more complicated feelings about the rich bitch charging method."

"Neutrals age, slower than human aging by twice but all the way to old. Must source other means to be not dead like being a lich or having friends with the arch-curatives on the shelf. Daeva do not age but do not have an in house rez supply for being chomped by monsters or dueled to death by baddies. Oreads, age like neutrals but take a cozy dirt nap to go backwards and land at twenty; if dead bury what's left in the ground, wait not longer than a month, but there must be stuff left. Nymph pops right up with true love's kiss or whatnot but if there is nothing to kiss nothing doing. Luxals don't age if they eat right, "right" means "metal" but it can be a thrift store fork; have gem hearts and metal bones, retrieve heart and dunk it in molten matchy metal and they grow back but it takes all day. Wulongs slow down to almost no aging at apparent eighteen, stop altogether by the look of forty, and if they bleed on an art they can pop out of it again after dying, and if they run out of bled on paintings somebody can make a real good portrait of them and bam. Dravir also slow at eighteen and if they die you can get an egg out of their body that will hatch them back out in a year but if that is wrecked too then kaput. Pharons eat this ambrosia stuff they make, it de-ages them, and it'll perk up a corpse or even an ash heap. Already mentioned the crying on a shrine for a mimi, and they do not age past eighteen if they are little or mid thirties tops if they are the big kind. Gnomes nothing special here. Also they are four inches tall, that is a thing, convenient in the right neighborhood but not everyplace."
