Lithium is a member of the Crescentarian species, a cannibalistic cave dwelling people whose intelligence ranges to that of a Neanderthal. Their language consists of a few spoken words and snarls, growls, and other animal-like noises. They’re capable of basic ‘finger painting’, and on top of decorating themselves with the teeth and finger bones of their prey they also draw symbols on themselves in the blood of the fallen. What the species lacks in intelligence it more than makes up for in combat skills. Often referred to as the ‘children of the gods’, this species is best left to its own devices as a single member is fully capable of taking down a heavily armed vehicle by itself with little to no harm. This species is highly combative, although depending on the subspecies communication and basic communities structures can be found.
A physical description-
-short, uneven cream hair that’s usually kept pinned up with a myriad of golden pins. In the sun the hair gains an almost gold hue.
- Curled white horns that have a pearlescent sheen to them. Think of a treble clef- a tight curl close to the skull with a more lax curve upwards and a sharp tip pointed downwards at the end similar to the tip of a fishing hook (made for hooking horns with others and tossing over backs) Positioned more to the side of the head, a bit behind the ears
- Black furred ears with pure white insides, similar in initial appearance to that of a cats that function more as a fennec foxes, capable of turning 180 degrees to hear in most any direction. Positioned to the side of the head closer to top than the base. (not important for arts but an interesting tidbit- ears fold out some-what like a butterfly wing and curl into cones to tighten the range of hearing and pinpoint spots of sound) if wearing earring they are at the very base of the ear, often hanging on an extended chain to hang at a ‘normal’ height, laying even with where a humans earlobe would be
-Right eye is the missing one. She was born missing an eye, and a early injury further damaged the right side of her face. Always covered, as she’s incredibly ashamed by the injury. The eye is completely gone, as is most of the surrounding tissue and eye lid. Underneath the eye patch is a heavily scarred uneven hole, at the very back of the scarred eye socket is the glimpse of her skull, a deep gunmetal color.
-Left eye has a scar running through it, as though it were cut with a blade. Eye color is several rings of increasing dark shades of orange down to a black pupil. Eye area is ringed with a very thin circle of black, similar to eye shadow but part of her ‘coat’.
- Lips are naturally black
-Her coat. Her species has a very short, very thin coat of ‘fur’ that’s clear, the skin shows underneath and that’s the ‘tricky’ part.
Her species has an almost snow leopard type pattern to it, but gray instead of white and faded spots.
As for spot placement it’s not hard. Think of an animal coat, the ‘underside’ (her front) is usually solid with all the spotting’s and patterns on the back (her back)
Her neck, chest, thighs, and forearms are devoid of any spots and are a solid light gray. Her lower arms and legs (as well as the very outermost of her sides) have small spots that get gradually bigger the closer to her spine in the back, so for artists you don’t have many spots to draw.
That being said, her hands and throat are darker gray as they’re stained in the blood of her species (cannibalism and her species has dull silver blood)
^ All coat sorry
-her hands are fairly feminine and small (but proportionately so!) her wrists, hands, and fingers are the darkest gray on her body as they’re most in contact with the silver blood of her people. If you want you can give her black fingernails but it’s not important
-if you’re going all out tribal she wears gnarly bracelets of teeth, finger bones, and other such accoutrements you could imagine a cannibal wearing. Heck, if you want to draw in a tiny shrunken alien head on a necklace go for it!
- As for tops it really simple (or again up to you) usually she wears a few thin gold chains and a necklace with a few bones or feathers that cover the uh, important parts of her breasts.
-bottoms are fairly simple black short are easiest as the dark color blends in with the dark caves and offers the most maneuverability. Usually crossed and topped with rugged belts of little bones and teeth
-Her tail! A slim super flexible pearly-white tail that reaches down to the bottom of the ground if stretched. It’s tipped in a heart shape, connecting at the meeting point of the two halves like a spade.
-Foot wear is usually some form of black heeled boots, small and slim as they rely on their strong legs to move fast and prefer to keep them covered to give them an extra layer of protection, and heels because their species is short and the few extra inches help them seem over the tall grass in their plains lands
- her feet are fairly small too, again proportionately, but she’s rarely barefoot (unless you want to draw an all-out crazy Neanderthal cave alien with ‘tribal’ clothes and no footwear, then go for it!)
Now outfit is really up to you if you decide to go outside the cave dwelling clothes descriptions I’ve given.
If you want to go frilly and proper, go for it! Her mate is royalty to say the least, so she’s just as capable of being dressed in finery as she is in gross body parts and ‘rags’. Just keep in mind she has an aversion to colors and is almost always in black and white, red, or gold. But if you want to squeeze her in some pink fru fru stuff go for it, it’d make me laugh at least x3
If you want to know actual details go ahead and ask. She’s a dead god in her world, and is very out of place among the gods she’s meant to rule beside. So she’s often confused, sad, and curious just to name a few emotions.
Here’s a tiny excerpt on some stuff about her kind-
Crescentarians have silver blood that’s heavy in metals and other-worldly elements. Their body temperatures run VERY high to keep the metal in their blood a liquid, although thanks to a heavy ‘blubber’ layer and insulating skin, touching one would not give this away. On top of the metal-rich blood their bones are made from super-dense metals. These bones are purposely brittle and break upon high impact, but due to the temperature of their internal systems the bones fuse rather quickly, making it nearly impossible to cause any lasting damage.
On top of fighting for territory and a namesake, Crescentarians also collect and hoard treasure, more specifically rare metals and minerals. They sparingly decorate themselves with gold, keeping the rests of their hoards buried for when they find their mates and begin the egg laying process. Crescentarians are neither mammalian nor reptilian, and are quite alien. They are an egg laying species but produce milk. Forming the egg saps the body of much needed metals, hence the precious metal hoards to feed on in pregnancy. Both male and females produce eggs. Same sex and opposite sex couples can produce eggs, as can a single Crescentarian.
That being said, as one would expect from a Neanderthal-like intelligence this species is very inquisitive and more often than not are easily drawn out with anything new. They’re curious with visiting species, and can easily be coerced onto visiting ships. Lithium herself is heavily curious and rarely fearful, even going so far as to stick her curious fingers in an open flame on several occasions, not because she forgets but rather because she wants to know if it ‘feels different’.
IM SO SORRY
