The Sidera are the main species of the shop, and will be the most common. Shimmering in their steps, they now traverse around our world always looking for fun and adventure or whatever floats their boat. They are guided by their Lums, which are the floating stars that hover near them. They share a special connection with their Lum, having been reawakened due to their perseverance and work, and also share a special connection with the key that they hold.
specifics._//
Lums; A Lum is a special companion to each Sidera, unique in personality from every other kind of their species. A Lum's color denotes which deity they follow, gold being Hyperion (the sun) while Silver denotes Selene (silver). The deity which a Sidera and their Lum follow may have some effects on their adult life but none have been discovered. Lums have been entrusted with protecting and guiding a Sidera from reawakening to adulthood and even then, most Lums choose to stick with their Sidera past then. There have been instances when a Lum has changed it's own shape to fit their Sidera's needs. Each Lum begins as a simple star, void of life and thinking, but when Selene cast the vessels of the Sidera into the sky, those that were touched by a vessel came to life. It is a Lum's life goal to find the true caretaker of their Sidera, for which, they had been given a key.
Locks and Keys; To awaken a Sidera, the caretaker must simply unlock the vessel with their key and BAM! there's their Sidera! Each key is specific to their own vessel, and while we may not be able to tell the difference between keys, a Lum can tell their key from another without a second thought. Each Sidera has a predestined caretaker, and the keys have been enchanted to know who the right caretaker is. However, finding the true caretaker is a task left completely up to the Lum. If a caretaker had been decided on by the Lum, the key test shall either confirm or reject the Lum's prediction. If the prospective caretaker cannot unlock the vessel, then he/she is not the true caretaker.
anatomy/physiology._//
The Sidera are overall unlike any creature seen before although some traits are very similar to creatures of this dimension. Most notably, a Sidera's tail function similarly to that of a squirrel or monkey, in that a Sidera may use it as a fifth limb, using it to hold or pick miscellaneous things up and also to hang from ledges and branches of trees. The Sidera also walk/run upright and have opposable thumbs which can be used to take and pick things up. The facial features can also be compared to that of a mix between a squirrel and a bear.
Some things to note, however, that have been recorded:
- Agility; The Sidera have an unusually fast running speed and are able to scurry away from potential enemies/captors with ease. It is extremely frustrating to play hide 'n' seek or tag with a group of Sidera as it will be near impossible to actually catch one.
- Balance; With the balance of a cat, the Sidera are able to land from any height on their feet. They are also able to flip and tumble through the air with ease and can imitate any gymnastics move once seen.
- Senses; The Sidera have heightened senses and often use their senses to their advantage. Most notable are the Sidera's heightened senses of smell and hearing. They can smell sugar and caffeine from a mile away and can sometimes hear a person's thoughts and feelings.
jobs
-from left to right-
Some Sidera like to take a more interactive role in helping out at the Observatory and the Estrella and specialize in certain jobs. In order to get a 4th stage, one must post in the respective guild thread and ask to be apprenticed. Once apprenticed, then the owner must answer one RP prompt and based on their response, the Sidera may/may not be accepted. More detail on this to be posted.
each job is inspired by an aspect of alaster. many different personality types and subdivisions are within each job so please read on for more info. each job is able to participate in the battle and quest systems too.
[layfu]// and on shimmering wings he descended to the land, putting his people to rest.
the most prominent feature about the layfu is that the lum of each layfu has almost tripled in size, allowing their sidera to surf/glide on top of it to wherever it needs to go. layfu are the performers of shishini, always willing to perform their craft to a willing audience. jobs include dancers, singers, bards, storytellers, and the like.
[sesenti]// with a sword with steel as cold as the darkest night, he vanquished the darkness to whence it came.
sesenti are the warriors of shishini. deftly handling their swords, they travel around shishini looking for work either as protectors, or knights if they are lucky. all sesenti aspire to be a part of the royal guard of the elders, protecting shishini's leaders from who or whatever plans to hurt them. their lum has transformed into a magical sword which can be transformed according to the sidera's preferred fighting style (i.e. spear, broadsword, etc.).
[chyanten]// he began to glow with a blue-ish light and just as quickly as it had come, it was gone.
chyantens are sidera that are skilled in the magical arts. coming by magic scrolls and spellbooks is pretty hard these days so the way to a chyanten's heart is by offering them a new spell. their lum has transformed into a magical staff, able to channel their magical energies into a single spell or a flurry of quick shots. their spells can vary from elemental manipulation to EXPLOSIONS and gravity. chyanten's can be traveling wizards looking for apprentices or wizards isolated from the rest of sideran civilization. a chyanten's magic can be basically anything from colored magic (elemental), to arcane magic (light, dark, time, and space). other forms of magic not discovered yet are still out there.
[kyshin]// a gold shimmering shockwave hummed as it flew over everything, searching for any trace of Alaster's power.
the kyshin are the merchants of shishini and their wares can be anything, ranging from magical creatures of their own design to supplies and ingredients for spells and whatnot. nobody truly knows how a kyshin comes by their wares as it is a kyshin secret. revealing the source of their wares would invite competition and they are not ones to enjoy competition.
