Huntress Institute
The Huntress Institute is a mysterious group of elves that suddenly emerged from the underworld of Karidia. Nothing more than this is known about them. They are happy to talk about their origins but the knowledge leaks out of whoever listens to them. Their members leave the institute when their training is over to emerge from the Karidian underworld. The elves from the Huntress Institute choose the ones they serve and are very loyal. They can act as hitwomen, secretaries, bodyguards and more.

Karidian Wood Nymph
Nymphs are personifications of nature's beauty. They are extremely rare in Karidia. This is because cyberpunk cities haven't exactly been kind to nature. Only the rich and powerful have the resources to find a nymph. However, only the ones with the purest intentions can even think of befriending nymphs.
Wood nymphs are highly sought after for their voice. The song of a wood nymph is calming and uplifting to whoever listens to it. It is a perfect way to unwind from the stress of living in a restless depressing city.
People who befriend a wood nymph will also invest heavily in their well being. Often climate controlling large rooms to resemble forests and regularly spending time with the nymph. This is partly due to the wealth at the person's disposal and that the more comfortable the nymph is, the more beautiful their songs sounds.

Oh, wow! I absolutely love your art style! The way you draw these characters is something special to behold. Karidia seems like my kind of place! 
Is the artwork you post here supplementary to a story you're also writing, or are you simply each piece some lore? If the former, I'd love to see what you have so far, perhaps through a link in this thread or a new one over in the Draft House.
Either way, I really look forward to seeing what else you have to share.

Thank you so much. There isn't really a story to this. However now that I think of it, I may be able to tie Karidia in with a comic I drew 2 years ago.Oh, wow! I absolutely love your art style! The way you draw these characters is something special to behold. Karidia seems like my kind of place!

I think you have great potential for one. There's a lot of richness to the visual aspect of these characters and the world you have designed in which they reside. If you feel as if you aren't good at writing, I would definitely suggest trying your hand at improving your craft, or perhaps finding someone who could be the pen to your marker. Merely a suggestion, however. The pleasant yet detailed lore indexes you provide with each artwork are flavor enough.

Karidian Unstable Autonomous Region (KUAR)
Karidia has certain places where gravity works differently. KUAR takes this to the extreme. Gravity here is ruled by the power of the entity. Strong entities rise through the social classes and gain authority. Outsiders do not benefit from this, having to spend a considerable amount of time in KUAR first. Until then, gravity works normally on them. The Karidian government does not interfere with the internal affairs of KUAR due to difficulty enforcing the laws in the region. Thus, KUAR has its own leadership. The Lady of Faces is the ruler of KUAR. She is an entity of great power capable of gravity manipulation. Rumors say she is responsible for the gravitational properties of KUAR.

Eluthari Refugees in Karidia
What happens when a primitive species comes across advanced technology? The Eluthari are a hunter gatherer society. They lived on an artificial planet made by a long passed advanced civilization. The planet has an ecosystem of cybernetically modified animals and mechanical plants that filter and convert air. It rains a mysterious fluid that heals biological tissue.
The Eluthari live in a primitive tribal system but due to the planet, their technology is extremely advanced. They highly value innovation. As a right of passage into adulthood, their young would have to make a device of their on creation with the schematics tattooed on their legs. Tribe members who invent the most useful technologies will go on to become great leaders.
Their planet was invaded by a race of sentient spaceships with less advanced technology but more coordinated tactics. After a thousand year war resulting in the loss of 80% of the Eluthari population, a great Eluthari leader made a machine that tore through space and sent the remaining Eluthari to different planets of the universe. One of those planets being Karidia.
The Eluthari in Karidia are either very vocal and outgoing or keep to themselves. One thing they all have in common is the "Eluthari stare". They seem to stare at people or objects at random. When questioned, they would either brush it off or pretend it never happened.
