Duck Blood Soup: Races and Character Glossary

Races:

Human – Can be divided in to ordinary people and wizards. Wizards can cast spells but if they try to do too much will weaken and possibly die.
Sangres – Live by drinking blood. A side effect of the blood drinking is that a sangre will obtain all of the creature’s memories and temporarily have the creature’s abilities. For example, if a sangre drinks pig blood, they will have a heightened sense of smell for a short time.
Giants – Have wild emotional swings but are also very creative. Giants are this world’s artists, poets, and chefs but can also go on murderous rampages.
S’rephs – Human sized flying creatures, usually in the Ozeanchor air force.
