Setting: An island where people and creatures coexist. Story will begin in the small village of Degar. (wip. I'll come up with names/images if I see any interest)
Beast tamersTamers are born, not made. At a certain age (between earliest records show at 15, the average is between 18 and 23, but beasts have appeared as late as into someones 30s) their Guardian Beast will be summoned. These intelligent creatures are bound to their tamer for life. Since there are so few tamers on the island and so many monsters, it is required by law that all gifted join the Guild. Life in the Guild, until recently, is straightforward; protect people from monsters and protect monsters from people. Keep the balance and all will be well.
MonstersThe monsters are not born into this world, they are summoned. Gates open at random, transporting creatures from different realms and planes of existence. Researchers have identified 4 gates, based on the type of monsters that emerge.
Fairy type monsters. Water aligned creatures. Some are pretty little winged things- others are definitely not.
Demon type monsters. Fire aligned creatures. Not all of them are mischievous and cruel…
Mechanoid type monsters. Use electric spells. Range from tiny bots to huge clunking contraptions. They all sport incredible AI, not all speak however.
Beast type monsters. Use wind spells. Often feral and rarely speak, but are famed for their loyalty.
