Danl Dump 1: Saneso

Saneso is the forest spirit and guardian of their urban forest named Dibel. A forest spirit's main job is to protect the Spirit Tree, which supports life in their forest and annually creates more forest spirits. The forest of Dibel is generally exempt of humans, not because of any literal magical barriers, but because strong entities often go there to try and retrieve the core of the Spirit Tree. Bad activity usually happens on the weekends in Dibel, so Saneso gets to leave the forest during weekdays most of the time as other spirits can fill in for him. Forest spirits don't have genitalia and thus cannot breed; the Spirit Tree creates more spirits once it's aged enough after creation.

Saneso's appearance: 2 long, floppy ears, and 2 short, thin ears. Saneso has paws, is digitigrade, has a cat-like tail, a snout, a white, slightly glowing furry body, and black sclera with glowing white irises. Saneso is about 3 feet tall, similar to most forest spirits. That's what most forest spirits look like anyways. The fur glows like that of moonlight, making them easy to spot in the dark, but not blindingly bright.

Saneso, being a forest spirit and elected guardian spirit at some point in his life, has a whole slew of abilities, making him an incredibly versatile all-rounder. Saneso can conjure weapons for himself to use. Saneso can use magic, obviously. Saneso has a lot of movement options on top of being pretty damn strong for his small stature. Saneso is also known as "The Spirit that doesn't sleep", because well... No one's actually seen him sleep before, mostly because true private home is hidden well. Saneso's ears are sensitive and can pick up noise from pretty far away, and because he has four of them, he can pretty accurately pinpoint where that noise comes from and where exactly it is. Saneso is in his early 20s. Being a forest spirit, Saneso can kill anything that can spread like a disease, fungus, or cancer, and even does bonus damage to said things.

Saneso has heightened senses. Saneso's pretty desensitized to death and just killing things in general. Saneso's morals are... Questionable, but he's often... Good enough. The main reason why Saneso is suicidal and selfless sometimes is because of forest spirits' having the ability to respawn at the last place they slept (or at a Spirit Well, like a checkpoint). If a forest spirit "dies", they simply "poof" away and quickly reform at their last "checkpoint" (i.e. place where they last slept or a nearby spirit well).

Moki are feline creatures that are a mix between meerkat and cat. Moki live in and are the main residents of Dibel. Moki often support Saneso and his ventures since he does such a good job as a guardian. The Moki also see Saneso as their guardian and as an influential figure. Despite their playfulness and apparent innocence, literally every single one of them wields some sort of firearm (even the babies and the old ones). Most Moki even have jobs, with a secret base under the Spirit Tree that have researcher Moki and scientists Moki, conducting all sorts of experiments... And making batshit insane technological marvels that are exclusive and top secret at Dibel. They're all adorable.

The core of the Spirit Tree is sentient... Kinda, with the one in Dibel having lived for thousands of years. The core of Dibel's Spirit Tree is named Seif. Despite being thousands of years old, Seif is still slightly immature and childish, though can definitely defend itself at a moments notice. The core of the spirit tree can be absorbed by a forest spirit in order to create a Spirit Sapling, which must be raised by others in order to grow into a full grown Spirit Tree.

No, there are no "elder spirits". No, Saneso cannot "channel the ancient power of the Spirit Tree", though he can channel some energy in order to regenerate quickly.

Some of Saneso's gathered abilities, or his "spirit arsenal" include everything that is numbered below:

Double jump. Self-explanatory. Spirit sword: Can conjure a sword for oneself. Spirit hammer: Can conjure a large battle hammer for oneself. Ball of light/explosive spheres/Kaboom Light: A ball of compressed energy and light that can be used to somewhat illuminate a place, melt ice, or blow shit up. Primarily used as an explosive, or as a vessel for the Bash ability. It's about the size of a basketball normally. Bash: Perhaps overpowered ability that allows a forest spirit to "bash" off any single enemy or projectile, launching themselves in any direction they want while sending said enemy or projectile in the opposite trajectory. Bash has no cooldown or energy cost, so it can be spammed. Does not work against weapons that people are holding. Living lantern: Turns a forest spirit from "slightly glowing" to "definitely a living lantern", as the name would suggest. Cranks the luminosity of a forest spirit by 5 times, allowing them to easily illuminate an entire dark room or greatly assist in doing so. The light also slightly burns enemies (or evil and corrupted things) and damages them over time. Costs a very low amount of energy to activate and maintain. Spirit (means to) Arms: Gives the forest spirit the ability to conjure any firearms; a more recently discovered/created forest spirit ability by Saneso. Guns use one's own energy to fire instead of using materiel ammo. Spirit inventory: Gives the forest spirit a pocket dimension of an inventory for easy transport. Only works on items. Plantigrade: Literally just an ability that makes the forest spirit that uses it plantigrade instead of digitigrade and vice versa. Saneso was digitigrade but mains with plantigrade legs. Rocket Jump: Allows the forest spirit to instantly propel their body in any direction they want for a short period of time, even turning them self into a mini-projectile if you think about it. Mana Spear: Conjure a heavily charged spear that can be thrown for a lot of damage... If it hits. Pierces enemies. Not the same as Spirit Arms. Spirit Hands: Transforms paws into hands and hardens them. Great for punching! Drill: Twirl rapidly to turn one's body into a living miniature drill. Great for digging through soft earth, like sand or gravel. Can also dash forward to gain ground quickly or shoot out of the ground. How does a forest spirit actually truly "die", you may be thinking? Well, other than attacks and weaponry specifically designed to banish and harm spirits in general, forest spirits can actually die if they are depressed. Yes, depression can kill a forest spirit, but a forest still cannot be killed while they are depressed. They'll simply fade away into nothing. There is no afterlife for them.
