Voidlings
Appearance: Voidlings are shadowy, semi-corporeal beings that seem to have stepped from the darkness between stars. Their skin is an inky black, often flecked with glowing specks like distant starlight. Their eyes are radiant voids, glowing faintly in hues of violet, silver, or blue. They are tall and slender, with wisps of dark mist trailing their movements, giving them an ethereal, ghostlike presence. Some Voidlings adorn themselves with metallic ornaments that seem to float slightly off their bodies.
Distinct Features: Voidlings can shift between a solid form and a semi-ethereal state, and their voices carry an echoing quality as if spoken through a vast chasm.
Aetherborn
Appearance: Aetherborn are beings seemingly crafted from the raw energy of the Etherium itself. Their forms shimmer with vibrant hues of aetheric light—electric blue, radiant gold, or deep violet—swirling like liquid energy beneath a translucent, glass-like skin. They may appear humanoid but lack defined facial features, save for glowing, expressive eyes and subtle, ever-shifting patterns that ripple across their forms.
Distinct Features: Aetherborn seems weightless, often leaving faint trails of glowing energy as they move. They emit a soft, harmonic hum, like the resonance of a distant star.
Lumina
Appearance: Lumina are radiant beings with golden or silver skin that seems to glow faintly as if bathed in perpetual moonlight. Their hair, if they have it, flows like liquid light, often shifting between colors depending on their emotions. Their eyes are luminous orbs that seem to hold galaxies within them. Many Lumina wear robes or armor that reflect their celestial heritage, often adorned with celestial motifs like stars or crescent moons.
Distinct Features: Lumina are surrounded by a faint aura of light, and their presence feels warm and comforting. Their footsteps leave shimmering, ephemeral marks that fade quickly behind them.
Star-Seekers
Appearance: Star-Seekers are humanoids with skin speckled like a night sky, with constellations or nebula-like patterns unique to each individual. Their hair often appears as a cascade of stardust or cosmic energy, shimmering faintly with movement. They have elongated limbs and delicate features, with sharp, crystalline eyes that glint like polished gems.
Distinct Features: Star-Seekers often carry star charts or trinkets of celestial origin, and their voices have a melodic, otherworldly quality. They seem drawn to the heavens, constantly gazing upward or tracing the stars with their fingers.
Aetheric Phantoms
Appearance: These spectral beings seem like living ghosts, with translucent, shimmering bodies that flicker between visibility and invisibility. Their forms are humanoid but slightly blurred at the edges, giving the impression they are only partially present in this plane. Their "skin" glows faintly with silvery or bluish light, and their eyes are piercing pinpoints of light. Some Aetheric Phantoms wear ethereal, flowing garments that seem to merge with their ghostly forms.
Distinct Features: They move without sound, and their presence often brings a chill to the air. Their voices are whispers carried on the wind, and they can pass through solid objects, though this takes effort and drains their energy.
