June Challenge

Welp. I'm now doing the World Building June thing because of an 11:30 thought that came to me as I was going to bed, whoopee.

Day One: Introduction

SpoilerSo the basic idea of this setting that took me all of five minutes of sleep deprivation to write down is set in a universe similar to ours. Somewhat. The earth is less spread out, with only a few continents instead of the normal seven. On these continents, mainly dotting the coastlines, are huge, concentrated cities towering above the treetops. The fauna and flora of the world are significantly larger, more jungle-like in nature, and tend to be more dangerous the farther away from the cities they are. The main city (or at least, the only one I've really given any thought to) is known as New Santiago.

Humans are still present in this world and are pretty much identical to us. However, somewhere along their development as a species, they came to coexist with another group of creatures, said creatures being significantly more enigmatic than humans. These creatures, known as of right now as 'Spectra'. The Spectra have come to coexist with humanity over time.

The Spectra seem to have adapted their lives to match humans' in strange ways. Their more notable features involve bonding with human children at birth, staying with their bonded human until the human dies, fading away when their human dies, and being completely invisible to most people until their human's eighteenth birthday.

Yeah, the prompt questions for this one were really open ended so I didn't know what to do, so I just spewed out a bunch of stuff.
