i wanted to share the lore ive made for imps (the species my oc loam is) because theyre funny little guys
heres a basic refsheet for a rando, theyre typically colored like dogs or other canids
imps have two types, scholomancers and common imps. common imps are like the guy above and dont really have that many special characteristics. however they are all kind of dumb as a bag of rocks
scholomancers, on the other hand, are a class of magically altered imps that are all wizards. they tend to seclude themselves from society, working on their craft or whatever their goal is, while taking apprentices under their wing. any imp can become a scholomancer but more often than not uh...
theyre basically altered to their teachers' whims as part of their studies and are kind of fucked up. mastery over the shape of the body is a big part of how they view magic, and they believe that magic cannot be properly harnessed unless you can shape your body to your will. basically every magic user is a shapeshifter but they tend not to.
most common imps without much knowledge of magic see being altered by a scholomancer to be a mark of high class, even if they arent a student of one.
imps arent that advanced technology wise, and their planets' society is pre-industrial. however, because of their species' use of magic, they have magical technologies, such as rune-based lightbulbs and magical hover wagons. spacefaring imps before the war were either abductees or students, but for the most part imps dont have space travel. and they dont use spaceships either, they just teleport to other planets and space stations
THE WAR BETWEEN IRK AND IMPS
this war lasted like maybe a couple hours at most because a group of scholomancers who consider themselves the highest authority on wizardy things on their planet were like HEY. those guys keep blowing up planets!!! and they declared war on irk and thus the imp homeworld got blown up too. thanks to some smart scholomancers habitable parts of the planet still survive, and the planet itself is kind of locked in a magical stasis so at least all the bits are floating in the same area. but for the most part its fuckin gone lmao
so yeah this is all why loam is always so fucking stoked to get surgeries done on them
