Imp

Imps are magical beings belonging to the Fae group. They can be recognized by their forehead gem used to collect elemental energy. Apart from that gem, their attributes and appearances can vary wildly.

There are five types of known Imps, all living in clades in the Crimson Wound. They are currently an all-female species despite biologically being a dual-gender species. This is because male Imps were known to be brutal and significantly less intelligent than the female members of these species, often killing their partners when mating. This caused them to devise a ritual that did not require males to reproduce and only produced female offspring, slowly breeding the males into extinction. 

Fire Imp
Fire Imps inhabit Lumen City, located in the Crimson Wound.

Fire Imps are the only known winged Imp species, their primary attribute is Fire. Most Fire Imps possess the Air attribute as a secondary attribute, but due to a genetic defect some Fire Imps are born wingless and without the ability the Air attribute.

Fire Imps do not fly using their wings, instead they subconsciously use their Air magic to hover and their wings to steer them while flying. They also possess the ability to strengthen their Fire magic using this, hence wingless Imps having a lesser degree of power using certain Fire Magic, causing many of them to opt for training their bodies instead of their magic.

Fire Imps also divide their Fire magic into four groups, namely Red, Blue, Black and Purple. Sylica refers to them as following:
 * "The Red Flame signifies passion and burns bright in the of every Fire Imp that lives."
 * "The Blue Flame signifies diligence, and is only cultivated through many years of hard work."
 * "The Black Flame is a symbol of nobility; it is obtained at birth and cannot be mastered through training."
 * "The Purple Flame... is a symbol of chaos, unbalance, and uprising. It is an extremely rare flame, burning only in the hearts of those worthy of leadership."

Their society is a somewhat caste based system, stemming partially to their mastery over the four flames. This may be biased by their beliefs as their hair color changes to reflect the highest "tier" of Flame they have mastered.

The Noble caste possess the ability to use the black flame, which is known to be able to burn everything. This is an inherited trait though not all Nobles choose to cultivate their magic. Nobles are born with Blue hair.

The Fire Imps are ruled by a Princess and have a royal bloodline, but the new Princess once another's time has passed is chosen from the ranks of the Nobility based on ability to use all four types of Flame.
