Ent/Venus:
The Ent and Venus are a race of plant people that live entirely on Geyze in the Great Forest. They live almost entirely for Gnome and Terra among the various cities inside it. While the two plant races were once at odds, they now work together despite there being slight differences between them. They are also all female.
The Ents love nature and come from where they live amongst the great trees. Almost every Ent is Earth Elemental Core based automatically due to the Great Earth Spirit making them. Ent grow plant armor for their item armor slots if you choose to wear it, other wise they typically just wear leafs to cover their bodies so they are not nude. The Ents draw their substance from the plants and life around the forest.
They have around 4 children max, seeding or being seeded with/by their mate. However, this can be with the same mate or with different mates, it is up to the Ent - but in the end they simply will have 4 children in the end.
The Venus look very similiar to the Ent, however they are noted to be more beautiful, and have purple-green bodies. Their darker color 'skin' is denoted along their entire bodies, and they also have beautiful tatoos along their hips that are noted to be sensitive to touch. These tatoos allow them to absorb sunlight to keep them going in dark places thrive in darkness for long periods of time. Their side of the Great Forest is known for it's beautiful darkness and warped touch as well tentacle vines. Being the anthesis of the Ent, who call upon nature and ask for it to help out, the Venus have mastered it and use it to their control. They draw their substance from meat.
The Venus use their tentacles to mate, so unlike the Ents, they can have unlimited amount of children and with more species if necessary, meaning their population is higher than the Ent population. It also means the mate does not always survive mating with a Venus if it will result in a child, so not many wish to do so and many only do it if it is true love.
Now that the daughter of a Venus/Ent has taken over - Leafy - the two populations have used the capital under Gnome/Terra to see if the two races can co-exist due to the differences.
Both Ents and Venus are long living races, lasting nearly a 1000 years if they get the proper sunlight and food.
