About Dvergov.
People here are reluctant to learn that they have Dverg genetics, especially if it was the first incarnation or the predominant genome in the current body. And they begin to look for a mistake in this. There is a certain unspoken opinion that the Dverg are worse than all other races. In addition to the fact that they have not grown tall, they are also hiding underground, and not the greatest intellectuals of all, and in general a race of workers - we are digging a mine, we are not asking questions.
But everything is not so simple at all. Firstly, if you incarnated for the first time among the Dvergs (and this is a minority of those people who are present in the field of our school), then your soul is older than that of the majority of all the students here. There is no need for even comments here, in my opinion, you have seen everything that happened in this world, starting with the first artificial race on Earth. I myself am sorry that I will someday be able to remember all the movement not from the very beginning.
Secondly, Dvergs have unique abilities to work with crystals. And if this still doesn’t seem cool to you, it’s only because in our paradigm this topic is not highlighted much. Our focus is always on Combat Magic. And here we see from different angles how and why she is cool. And the magic of stones - why do you need to put them somewhere? Crystals have very interesting and complex consciousnesses. All practitioners quickly manage to make contact with totems, with ollies it is more difficult, but in general few people manage to make friends with stones. Meanwhile, stones have unique properties. This is a door that is not open to everyone, but behind which there is a whole world to explore.
Let's move on. No one has a pure Dverg genome. In any case, we get buns from the whole soup that our genetics includes. What does the part of the Dvergs give us if it predominates in the current incarnation, in the body? — I would say some kind of social adequacy. One might regard the Dverg's tendency to avoid danger as cowardice or a lack of intelligence and ambition. But in fact, the nicest people you know, in social terms, the easiest, the friendliest, the most comfortable, are most likely the people with a strong Dverg genome. Without them, all the Alvas would have hidden in the forest, the Vanirs would have fought with everyone, and the Asuras would have been soaring in their fantasies about a better world. Doors maintain a certain balance of norms of behavior in society. They are well adapted to it, they understand perfectly how to make money and know how to handle it. Even Dvergian scientists, who by the way, in my opinion, are the most unpredictable dreamers (and at the same time one of the smartest people in principle), already in their youth acquire all the necessary resources to ensure their safety and meet their basic needs. Dvergs generally have great imagination, it's just focused on achieving real goals by default. But Dverg will never refuse to mentally speculate about parallel realities and space travel if you ask such a topic.
Let's look at people with the enhanced Dverg genome by specialization.
People of the first castes will have the gene of either a Worker or a Warrior - this means very good physical endurance. Even if a person is small in stature and does not have any generally outstanding body parameters, he can be stronger than those who are stronger and two heads taller than him. The Dverg warriors are such stubborn guys rather than aggressive, they are unlikely to get into a fight, but they can take revenge for a long time and desperately.
Dverg Officers and Lords are very smart guys, but they don’t boast about it, they quietly rejoice at their superiority in solitude) But seriously, they feel the law very well and live “justly.” Everyone thinks this way about themselves, but if you talk to these guys, you will feel like violators in the extreme. Which, by the way, may give the impression of a certain “limited-mindedness” to some. But play with them in some game that requires non-standard solutions, and you will find that these are people who see the most subtle moves.
Dverg Scientists are people who can build a time machine out of anything they have lying around, even if it's just old boards and tape, you get the idea. They make something that moves, and you realize that this thing should never have moved by all the laws of physics.
Dvergian Magicians and Healers - Healers are such brilliant guys, very warm, inviting, sociable, often the life of the party, a wide circle of friends, a high level of empathy, capable of transforming your mood from the most decadent into something surprisingly cheerful so skillfully that you won’t have time to notice it. Magicians are colder, but they sense people perfectly and the harmony of the surrounding mental and physical space.
And by the way, Doors are not at all greedy, as shown in Tolkien’s films. They are rational. But a person is of much greater value to them than any resource, because resources will appear, they are never left without them in their lives and therefore do not experience such fear.
That is, in the end, we have a race with very interesting abilities and enormous potential, which may not be immediately visible only due to the fact that with this potential they are not trying to take over the world, subjugate all of humanity or turn reality upside down, but simply remain in harmony with the world around them and direct their abilities to create their own maximally balanced life.
