—Luminae Basic Info—
Name Reason
It's just a word play on "Luminant"
Also referred to as:
Lumins
Abilities
They basically just glow in the dark, (from their Cheeks, which can be any pattern, their chest fluff, and their paw beans!) they can semi control their glowing (if they are in the dark, they have to glow at least a little.)
They are also the main producers of light (other than the sun) in their world, they can make light (in their glow color) and contain it into a jar usually, to be shipped off and sold.
How are they named?
Anything that has to do with their color really, or things to do with light.
Lifespan
It's usually from 40-70 years, but some have been recorded to live longer.
Who do they live alongside with?
They live with their subspecies, but treat themselves better (see in my not WoF oc book- in the Info chapter it shows the subspecies because I'm too lazy to put them all here :) )
Royals?
The Luminae are actually the royal species in this world, that's why they are very rare. since there are few of them, a lot of interbreeding happens (which doesn't effect the children, thankfully) they are trying to boost their numbers, and make some that aren't related to royalty. (Like, make some that would be commoners, so not as many blood related royals have to work as Light-Crafters.)
King/Queen?
Queen- Radience
King- Bloodmoon
Culture
Purebred Luminae that have a child with a subspecies will not be tolerated, the child would either be eliminated or taken to be a light slave. (To work in a prison-like place and produce the light into jars.) the royal Luminae keep this under reps, not wanting the subspecies or the non royal Luminae to know. Holidays and Celebrations will be in a different category.
Holidays/Celebrations
~Festival of Light~
This celebration takes place in the capital of the kingdom. A month before the celebration, extra light is made for this festival. The Main Market (the main chain of stores/booths in the capital) sells mainly "fireworks" for the whole day. Then at midnight, everyone sets of their Lightworks, (what i call the light fireworks :3) they do this to celebrate the Luminae ancestors and the hard working Light-Crafters (the workers that aren't slaved that make light.) This takes place in the middle of winter, when the light shines brightest. Subspecies are welcome to attend this event as well. The entire celebration lasts a week, with almost everyone off of work except bars and such.
