History Literature / Elcenia

* ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty: Not actual immortality, but Elcenian dragons' human forms age ten times slower than actual humans (with the equivalent age for other races), and stops at equivalent age 20. Barashin elves and Barashin halfbloods all stop aging at 25 and stay in that age for a few centuries, then start aging again.

''Elcenia'' is a series written by Alicorn (author of ''{{Fanfic/Luminosity}})'', and is currently in-progress. ''Summons'' and the ongoing ''Blood'' can be found [[http://elcenia.com/index.shtml here]].

* TrappedInAnotherWorld: Basically the premise of the story so far. An unusual example in that Rhysel is also from a a MagicalLand.

** As of Chapter 13 of ''Silver'' just one of the ten most prominent couples that appeared so far is the same species through and through, with three other couples involving a partial species match with a mixed species partner.

** Shrens are dragons who can't fly with their natural wings and therefore suffer from esu. They eventually stop noticing most other pain; a shren who ''broke most of her bones'' wasn't particularly bothered by it.

* InterspeciesRomance: There hardly seems to be any ''intra''-species romance. As of Chapter 12, all romantic involvement has been between people of at least partially different species.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: One of the abilities of Elcenian dragons. Can also be done with kamai.

* ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty: Not actual immortality, but Dragon's human form ages ten times slower than actual humans (with the equivalent age for other races), and stops at equivalent age 20, Barashin Elves and Barashin Half-bloods all stop aging at 25 and stay in that age for a few centuries, all three species eventually start aging again.

* ImHavingSoulPains: In Elcenian dragons not flying causes a longing called ''esu''. After a while esu will manifest as physical pain and steadily grow worse without upper limit. The only way to end esu is flying under their own power.

* HalfHumanHybrid: Rhysel is half human, half elf.

* HomosexualReproduction: Directly stated to be possible via magic, though male couples require a surrogate.

* FlatWorld: Elcenia is one.

* BlessedWithSuck: Hearers, vampires that can hear objects talking about themselves. Every single object. '''ALL. THE. TIME.''' Hearing is considering a mental illness because, it eventually does make the vampires crazy.

** Hearers, who are considered insane, despite actually having the power to hear objects, see BlessedWithSuck.

* TranslatorMicrobes: In the form of a natural dragon ability and various wizard spells.

''Summons'' opens when two school-age wizards summon half-elf kama Rhysel from her home world Barashi. This would normally be mostly harmless... except that no one can ''undo'' the spell, which means Rhysel is stuck on Elcenia until someone can. Rhysel adjusts to the new planet itself fairly well, but finds herself both experiencing and creating various upheavals, ranging from the personal to the romantic to the magical.

''Blood'' is the story of Talyn, who was a secondary character in ''Summons''. He can read minds, and [[PowerIncontinence does]]. The story starts with him breaking his arm cliff-diving, chronologically a little after the beginning of ''Summons''. Talyn is very interested in how things work; for example, he chose to leave his arm broken longer so that he could see the healing done slowly and learn more about the process.
