Ancient Scraps

The Ancient Scraps were a species of magical entities, existing from around the Scrapbook first appeared in existence. We don't know much about them, other from old paintings, books, and certain items, but we do know that they are the parent to every other Scrap here in existence (Scraps are our residents in the Scrapbook, by the way!).

Basic Information

Anatomy

The Ancient Scraps, as are called the old entities that appeared in the Scrapbook, were considered shapeless or only having phantom, humanoid shapes. Obviously now, their descendants gained more form, ranging from humanoid to whatever else has come through.

Biological Traits

The Ancient Scraps were androgynous beings that stood around 7ft (213.3cm) tall and weighted about a pound (0.4kg). They were so light because they were "mere shadows," or ghostly creatures that were able to control great power.

Genetics and Reproduction

The Ancient Scraps didn't need to reproduce. They could make more of themselves.

Ecology and Habitats

The Ancient Scraps don't adapt to their environment - they adapted the environment to them.

Dietary Needs and Habits

They were not known for eating, but they sometimes held large feasts in celebration and ate everything prepared.

Additional Information

Social Structure

Ancient Scraps often kept apart, usually only being seen in groups of two or three. The only time they gathered in more than groups of three were for feasts and banquets.

Facial characteristics

Ancient Scraps had high cheekbones, and the more feminine ones had more hollow cheeks while the more masculine ones had more sharper jawlines.

Average Intelligence

The Ancient Scraps were considered hyperintelligent, and they created a special magic called Ancient Scrap Magic.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

It is said that the Ancient Scraps could hear, see, feel, and smell things halfway across the Scrapbook. Imagine how annoying that power would be! Unfortunately, we don't know why or how they obtained this ability, or what they used it for. We could theorize that the Ancient Scraps used this ability to settle issues.
We do know for certain that they had magic, considering how you and I are here right now. And how these planets around us exist. And how a few dead planets- oh, whatever, you can learn about those later. Anyway, the Ancient Scraps had magic! They could create places to live, sentient and sapient beings, everything! They could harness lightning, bring about thunder, freeze fire where it stood, and even remove the heat from stars!
Or.. so it's said. Again, we do not know exactly everything about the Ancient Scraps - or anything at all, for that matter - so we don't really know how much of this is true, but nothing so far can prove anything wrong.

Civilization and Culture

It is believed that Ancient Scraps had no use for names, and therefore never gave themselves names. It is unclear if they did actually have names, however.
