Goldbloods

Goldbloods are a type of sentient creature that is able to learn and control magic, as well as revealing a familiar. 25% to 40% of humans are goldbloods, while 85% of Khimeri and 70% of Avia are goldbloods. A mere 2% of Orcs and 1.2% of Agrodiles are goldbloods as well. There is no guarantee that a child will be a goldblood, even with two goldblooded parents as the trait is not genetic and is instead, adapted from the environment. A child's soul is the first thing to be formed upon conception, and it has to accept the goldblood trait. Most human souls tend to reject it as they are too weak to accept it, while Orc and Agrodile souls are almost entirely resistant to the trait.

Those unable to learn magic are called redbloods.

Human and Dragonborn Societies
Because goldbloods are considered rare in human society, many people believe goldbloods to be superior in many aspects, physical, physiological, and mental. However, given that the majority of humans are redblooded, some tend to shun goldbloods and consider them mutants or freaks.

Khimeri and Avian Societies
Given that a majority of Khimeri and Avia are goldbloods, it is considered bad luck to be born redblooded and a defect. Redbloods in these societies tend to be given less opportunities and have a lower status in society.

Orcish and Agrodilian Societies
While Orcs believe being goldblooded goes against tradition and the trait is shunned, Agrodilian societies hold goldblooded brethren in extremely high esteem. Goldblooded Agrodiles are considered godlike in their community and are treated as royalty, but are also expected to do the most work. They tend to be given positions of power, but expectations for them are high and being wrong as a goldblood is taboo.

Types of Magic
Goldbloods can all learn different types of magic, though some species have stronger affiliations to certain types of magic.
