They say that souls never truly die. They say that life goes on after death, in one form or another. Somewhere, deep in their minds, men have known this to be true. That's why nearly every religion ever conceived by man deals with the essence of a human being continuing on long after the body has returned to the earth.

But mankind can never agree on is what happens to the soul. Does it cluster with countless others around a supreme deity? Does it awaken in a paradise? Does it continue to move through Life, assuming different forms, seeking perfection? Does it remain in the realm of the living, wafting invisible on unseen breezes, occasionally wreaking havoc as a "ghost?"

There are a few beings who can tell the truth. Though they know not what happens to the souls of the wicked, the cruel, the deranged, or the impure, they can tell you what becomes of the sweet, the calm, the caring, and loving. They know because it has happened to them.

They will tell you of the chill of death, of the mist that will overcome the senses, of the grim realization of finality. They will tell you of a gradual awareness of warmth, and seeing the world in glowing red, as though through closed eyelids that face the sun. They will speak of the comfort and safety felt.

Then they will speak of friendly discomfort, like a favorite sweater that has grown a little too tight. They will tell you of a tiny crack in the red vision, and a wild excitement. They will grow quiet and happy as they describe wriggling out of the warmth, and into something even better. Each one will compare it to something different--a crisp autumn morning, a roaring and pleasant fire, a freshly mown lawn, the intoxicating scent of flowers or coffee or rain or life itself--but all agree it brought back the very best memories of the life they held before the Change.

Oh, they do not call their transition from one body to the next "death." They know that what mankind fears is not this. For this life is as good as--no, better than--their last. And they will tell this to anyone who asks. Anyone who can find them to ask. Anyone who truly cares.

They are living their new lives on gossamer wings. They have never been happier.

So they say.

In Layman's Terms...

The humans got stuck in the efin bodies. Teh end.

|Egg|
---The egg is the first stage in the butterfly and moth life cycle. Butterfly eggs are very small and round. Many have ribs or other tiny features. Females butterflies lay their eggs on or near the plants that will later become food for the caterpillar.

|Larvae|
--- The larva hatches from the egg. Caterpillars spend most of their time eating. Butterflies do all of their growing when they're caterpillars, and food gives them the energy and body-building materials they need.

|Pupa|
--- When a caterpillar has finished growing, it forms a pupa. From the outside, the pupa looks as if it's resting. But inside, every part of the caterpillar is changing. Most of its organs and other body parts dissolve and re-form into the organs, tissues, limbs and wings of the adult.

|Butterfly|
--- The adult is the stage when butterflies mate and reproduce. Females lay their eggs on plants or other surfaces, and the cycle starts all over again. Breeding can ONLY occur during this stage. Once a butterfly evolves into a Gossamer, it MAY NOT REPRODUCE.

|Ricewing|
|---Ricewing butterflies are skittish and delicate. Gossamers taking on the characteristics of this species are shy and fragile in their own way. Expect a Ricepaper to be introverted and occupied by several intellectual pursuits.

|Swallowtail|
|---Swallowtail butterflies are... (The rest, coming soon.)

|Longwing|
|---Longwing butterflies are energetic and full of life. Therefore, you can expect a Longwing Gossamer to be physically active with very high endurance. They are vibrant and live their lives to the fullest.

|Cattleheart|
|---Cattleheart butterflies are... (The rest, coming soon.)

The more love and care a butterfly recieves, the more they begin to bond with their owner. If a true bond is acheived, the butterfly will release it's human soul (called a "Gossamer" wink .

*Toddlers and adults have several different hairstyles and expressions.
*Gossamers will also have their original wings attatched to their backs.
