Lumites

Lumites
Radiant, light fairies that live in the floating community of Erutan, Trepolis.

Physical Description:

 * 1) The Lumites are an elegant fairy species known for their enchanting appearance. Their radiant skin that glows brighter than the sun is said to attract the eye from miles away. Their light is golden yellow and rich, though varies in power depending on their mood or the time of day.
 * 2) Up close they look like any fairy. In their natural form they are petite in size, about three inches in height and typically fit. They are always groomed neatly and dressed in the best clothes, high quality and expensive. Their wings are typically glossy and transparent, and can vary in size. The ears are pointed as most fey creatures.

Powers and Abilities

 * 1) The most common ability amongst the Lumites is their ability to bend light and conduct energy. While some are more efficient than others, each one of them has the ability to create and shape light as they need to, and in doing this they are able to produce natural energy.
 * 2) Just as their kin, the Solies, they are able to shapeshift sizes. Their natural form is small, but they have the ability to morph into average human size while they are in contact with certain species and enemies.
 * 3) A cunning species, these fairies are always well known for their illusion and deception. The more experienced fey are able to warp reality to trick others into believing whatever they desire, good or bad. This is often used to their advantage.

Culture

 * Trepolis has an elected queen named Daphne, who has a council of hand picked trustees whom she consults to make the laws of the land. All of the Lumites look to their queen without a second thought, as their species has always been ruled by one leader. That's not to say that everyone agrees with her decisions all of the time.


 * This species lives a high society life. They work very few hours and live in extravagant palaces that are crafted from the beautiful stone of their land. They only accept the best in life, and will turn their noses at anything they consider imperfect. This includes the Erutani who live on the mainland of Erutan.
 * The Erutani aren't governed strictly, as they only have a council of guiders who direct the locals through rough times. The Lumites do not agree with this laissez faire approach to governing the land, and wish to overthrow them and gain control. They will stop at nothing to achieve their goal, including poisoning the waterfalls that nourish the flora of the mainland to show the Erutani that they need better government.


 * Those who do work are miners, searching for the sacred gems that are found deep underground. These gems are worth millions, and sold all over to the high rollers of Cadis Su.
