Do you think devils and demons are the same thing? What about fairies and elves?

Come to think of it, tell me the other names you have for gods too. I've read about gods I didn't even know existed!

Devils and demons can be the same depending on the world, but often aren't. The Devil here is the guy in charge of all the demons in his world. You could definitely ask Lucy for more specific.

Fairies and elves have a lot of variance, again depending on the world. Like fairies can have wings, or be way smaller, or have hooves.

[xiyun]

His name is Lucy? I know that devils can be powerful or not. I never thought of the less powerful ones as demons, though. Is it like the difference between gods and fairies?

I don't have wings or hooves. I also don't think I'm much smaller than everyone else.

[abnormalizes]

His name is Lucifer! Lucy is just my nickname for him, sorry. Gods are generally a lot more powerful than fairies.

Do you have magic powers?

[xiyun]

It's okay! So does that mean devils are a lot more powerful than demons?

I do! I was raised as a Grass Fairy.

I'm sure that devils and demons couldn't be the same thing, or they wouldn't have different names. Fairies and elves are definitely very different though! Fairies are a type of monster, while elves are people who can sometimes be my neighbors.

As for gods...back home, our gods are dragons! Sometimes we call them Elder Dragons, and sometimes they're Native Dragons, but they're definitely very dragony either way.

[xiyun]

Fairies aren't monsters! And names depend on places. Some visitors might see the devils I know as demons. I don't really think it makes much difference.

I know of dragon gods! They're pretty amazing, though they usually have different forms.

[turnipstar]

They aren't? They're definitely monsters where I'm from. I think they're very pretty.

I got to meet one of the dragons once! He didn't have any different forms though, unless you count a baby dragon as different. Can dragons transform where you're from?

[xiyun]

I'm a Fairy. I tend to flowers and look after my Master's work. None of that makes me a monster!

If they are gods, yes. They can look like people - very beautiful people! I think the dragons must be their spiritual power. But then there are actual dragons who can also look like deities. They're not as abundant.

[shamtagonist]

So devils, demons, fairies, and elves are all gods in your world?
(๑•̆૩•̆)
Fairies and elves definitely aren't the same thing, though elves can be a type of fae depending on who you ask or the RPG you're playing.

[Or folklore or whatever but that's not his wheelhouse.]

As for gods, you could add "Oma" to the list of names, since I was the god of my world~
The only one! I made sure to chase out all the others that wanted to exist there.

[xiyun]

No, only gods are gods. Devils can be as powerful as gods, but they are still not the same thing.

...RPG? What does that stand for?

You were? Oh. Was it lonely being the only one? I guess that would make you the Emperor of your world, right?

sorry, a ton of notifs got marked as spam and i missed this one!

[shamtagonist]

Ohhh so you were just asking in general, then!
(＾▽＾)

Role-playing game, of course!

That's right, though I prefer Supreme Leader to Emperor, personally. And it wasn't lonely!
I had plenty of subordinates keeping me company, after all.
When you're the ruler of the whole world, it's hard to be lonely!
(*ˊૢᵕˋૢ*)
Plus all the other gods were jerks anyway so it's way better off without them there.
ꉂ `o´ )

I've had that happen. Ooof. <3

[xiyun]

Yes! I want to learn about other worlds.

Role...playing? What does that mean?

...oh wow! You must've been so busy, too! I wouldn't know what to do, really, except make sure everyone was safe and comfortable. Is that what you did?

Explain "fairies and elves".

I know many gods, gods of ages past who are nothing more than trinkets now.

Voice

[xiyun]

I'm not sure I can explain elves. It's a term I've only just encountered.

But fairies are immortal beings that tend the natural world. Like I tend flowers - specifically orchids.

Really? Wow, you must be ancient!

Voice

[worshipmytruename]

Call those “titles” or “insults”.

Hrrk. I’m only millennia young!

Flowers and the forest belonged to my domain. Should I consider myself a fairy as well as a god?

Voice

[xiyun]

How are they insulting? {That's not how she means them. She is being quite sincere!}

Only one millennia? {She isn't buying that.}

If you want to, though fairies aren't gods in Shuiyuntian.

I don't think I know what an elf is, so I can't say if that's the same as a fairy. Though the fairies in this world don't look like I'd have imagined.

The gods where I'm from are called titans.

[ Or Aeons, but he's not getting into all that right now. ]

Turns out there's a lot I didn't know existed, either! In my short time here, I've heard all kinds of things I could never have imagined.

text

[xiyun]

They don't? How did you imagine fairies? I'm not sure about elves either. I think I read that they have pointed ears? That could be cute.

...titans?

{The names are so scary!}

Like what?

[aedeselysiae]

I imagined fairies as kind of furry, about half a meter tall or so. They have these long ears, similar to a rabbit.

[ He has no idea how absolutely nuts this must sound to anyone who isn't from Amphoreus. ]

Yes, titans. I wouldn't take that too literally. We don't exactly interact with them most of the time. It isn't as if they're simply behemoths roaming the world. They're gods. Forgive me, it's hard to explain.

Well, for one, the magic powers we're all granted here are new to me. There are some abilities my friends and I possess that might seem magical to others, but nothing like these elemental abilities.

That which most closely resembles gods on Etheirys are that which are referred to as either primals or eikons.

As to fairies and elves, those are quite different.

text

[xiyun]

Primals because they are so old? Eikon isn't a word I recognize.

How?

text

[unnecessaryflourishes]

Because they are naught more than desire made manifest through aether. Each summoning creates a new iteration, though the concept is indeed old.

Elves - Elezen, as they are called - are one of the races of Etheirys. Tall, with pointed ears. Faeries would most closely be something like the pixies of the First, which are small and winged.

[ranksinmistlore]

The Occuria name themselves gods. Undying, beyond the reach of men.

[xiyun]

You don't see them as such? Does anyone oppose them?

[ranksinmistlore]

By their own words they have sought to guide mankind. Is that not a god?
