The Wrights
Wrights are the most magically gifted of The Bound, and have the easiest time passing as one of the Unbound. Wrights can pick up almost any magical skill with ease and are able to accomplish feats of the mind that are beyond any other bloodline. However, Wrights are also the physically weakest and most vulnerable of the Bloodlines. Though they are hardier than the average Unbound, they cannot get much stronger than the strongest of the Unbound. Because of this weakness, they struggle to pick up combat abilities.
Wright culture is fundamentally shaped by the fact that they are so easily able to pass as the Unbound. Wrights often act as the touchpoints between the Bound and Unbound societies, providing resources and cover for Bloodlines that cannot pass as normal mortals. They have tight-knit family groups that look out for one another, as they are the physically weakest of The Bound. Wrights are taught from childhood that they have a responsibility to look out for other members of the Bound community and to help them avoid exposure to the Unbound.
Druids
Druids are Wrights that focus on the connections between the natural magic found in the Fae Wilds and the magic that they practice in their spells. Druids tend to keep track of which magical components can be found where and focus on gathering those components in sustainable ways. They feel a connection to nature, and think of practicing magic as an extension of themselves.
Druids are born with birthmarks that tend to be easily recognizable shapes – typically those of animals. These birthmarks tend to be on their necks, hands, or wrists. Some Druids have been unlucky enough to have been born with the mark on their faces. In Druid culture, the shape of the animal you’re born with is assumed to say something about your personality, but there’s some contention over whether this superstition is true. Druids typically cannot feel pain in the area of the mark, which is something Wright Hunters have exploited to tell the difference between Druids and Unbound with druidic tattoos.
Witches
Contrary to popular belief, witches can be of any gender. Witches approach practicing magic as if it is an art form. They’re well-known for adding their own flair to alchemical recipes and rituals, with sometimes mixed results. Nevertheless, their magic is usually particularly beautiful to observe. They are well-known to be powerful generalists, and try to think about magic holistically.
Witches will usually have at least one streak of an unnatural color in their hair. Sometimes, their hair color will be entirely unnatural. Their eye color may match their hair color, but this appears to be a trait that only shows up in some families.
Wizards
Wizards can be of any gender. Wizards approach practicing magic from a scientific mindset. They will try to replicate the same spells in the same way every time, following their formulas to the letter. They are rigorous, take copious notes, and will usually hone in on a specialty that they are particularly interested in. They are known to be excellent researchers, and often try to develop new forms of magic in whatever their specialty ends up being.
Wizards always have unnaturally colored fingernails and toenails. The colors of their nail beds will sometimes match their eye color, but similarly to witches this trait only appears in some families.
