Image or Description:
They look like walking skeletons, frail, and blindingly white. They have absolutely no pigment. Their pelts are pure white, and their eyes and noses are pink. However, they are able to control light waves, so they can appear in whatever color they wish, in any patterns they choose.
Name:
Lumen/Lumen
Size:
Height: 28-46 inches
Weight: 40-80 lbs
Lifespan:
Over 300 years
Pelt:
By bending light waves, they can achieve any color.
Eyes:
Eyes devoid of pigment, appearing red or pink
Strengths:
Controlling light waves; invisibility; long life; intelligence
Blurb:
Lumen are masters of light, projecting color either onto themselves to liven up their plain pelts, or flash it at their enemy, to stun them. They can bend light waves around themselves, becoming invisible at will. They can do this with other objects as well, but it takes great practice, the younger ones can't do it at all.
Their frames are slim, and fragile. Their bones seem to be extra weak. They have little muscle mass, and less body fat, for they do not eat. They sustain their life by feeding on the life energy of all living things. If it's small, like a flower, it dies. But if it is big, like a wolf, it becomes tired.
They are a mischievous folk, liking to stir up trouble while invisible and watch from the sidelines as things play out. If they are ever seen, they lose their ability to become invisible to that wolf while he is still within eyesight. If caught by the wolf, the Lumen has to grant a wish to that wolf. But beware, Lumen don't like to be caught. They love to mess up the wish, and watch them go awry. The older the Lumen, the more complicated wish it can grant (or ruin)
LOTS:
This is an ancient species. They view themselves as a higher order of wolves then the others. Lumen only hold Sennyo and Harbingers in high esteem since the three races share long life spans, and intelligence. The Lumen detest the rest of the species, thinking that they are ugly, boring beasts that live only seconds compared to them.
They especially hate Lupuses. There is a a myth as old as the Lumen themselves that a drab and ugly wolf stole into the den of their Great Mother, the first of the Lumen, and stole the beautiful colors from her pelt, and the magic from her veins. Leaving her devoid of color, and only the power over light. The story goes that this wolf birthed the race of the Lupus. Lumen will go out of their way to make a Lupus' life hell.
Lumen travel the land, not liking to stay in one place for long. They are a scarce species, and do not believe in tainting their pure bloodlines, so all hybrids are seen to be unclean, and will be killed.
