Avanus Parelli

Avanus Parelli is a master zoomancer, best known for his contributions to the Milky Way Encyclopedia of Life. He has studied, identified, and submitted 386 million unique species into this Encyclopedia, the biggest contribution from any single person.

Personal History

Avanus was born on Norrab, three-hundred and seven years ago. His family were master sorcerers that grew up in a small coven hiding deep within the Sandaris Highlands. They had no connection to the wider world, sticking to their magical ways. Both parents guided him down the path of magic, training him to understand and communicate with animals.

He first encountered the Milky Way Encyclopedia of Life when he was fifteen - his coven would not use modern technologies, such as Utopia, a network system used across the Yonderverse.

A visit to a small town north of the Sandaris Highlands brought him into the modern world. Through the magic of online research, Avanus discovered just how big the world he lived in was. Avanus became fascinated with the idea of visiting other planets and discovering new creatures.

Avanus contacted a group of sorcerers online, asking to meet in person. He sought advice and knowledge from people from distant lands, as he was terrified of the thought of leaving his coven, but knew he was destined to explore the world. In just a few years, Avanus had ventured around five planets and had registered two hundred and fifty animals to the Milky Way Encyclopedia of Life.

Avanus continued to register new creatures into this online compendium, not stopping for two hundred years. He retired at the age of two-hundred and seventeen, spending his later years as a volunteer at the Marble Mud Ranch, on planet Mars. He still volunteers to this day, passing on his knowledge to young sorcerers. Outside of volunteering the ranch, Avanus spends his time taking care of three silt hounds, with his husband.

Items & Accessories

Five months of scouring the markets of Razhea Capita's Underworld, and I finally found one of the last rings I needed. The Ignited Ring, now I can control dragons.
— Avanus Parelli

Avanus is extremely proud of his Rings of Dominion. The Rings of Dominion are a set of rings designed to give the wearer power over certain creatures.

Over a hundred types of these rings exist, with thousands of copies of each. Avanus has every single ring, acquired through his journeys across thousands of planets and magical realms.

Every clothing item of Avanus's is dipped in flowers. The scent of different flowers induces a calm state in distressed animals. He also carries a fire and ice amulet, to help strengthen his fire, water, and ice magic abilities.

Adding new entries to the Milky Way Encyclopedia of Life is probably a neverending job. He seems like a lovely guy ^w^

At the end of everything, hold onto anything.
