Spectera Species in Reki Orbital Space Station | World Anvil

Spectera

 
Those guys? I think they are from Rant. It's hard to tell though. There are a lot of species from other planets that look the same. Ears like that are apparently common.
— One Station inhabitant to another
The Spectera is a sapient species native to the planet of Rant. They are one out of two sapient species on this planet. Like the Dragons they have a second form, but unlike the Dragons the Other shape of the Spectera might or might not be natural. It's the condition of their magical use.   All Spectera have a mental link with their God and Goddess which means that they can communicate personally with them. One Spectera can also relay a message they have to another Spectera who is across the planet from them through their God or Goddess.  

Magic

The Spectera were very well versed in the use of magic, however, since their God decreed that magic was not to be used they lost their ability and knowledge to use it. Only one ethnicity of Spectera, the Saquron retained their abilities and have since then learned even more magick with the introduction of magick from other planets. Many Spectera from other ethnicities want to relearn the use of magic now, but most of the Saquron refuse as the other ethnicities treated them badly when they refused to adhere to their own God's decree.

Their eye colors are usually black, pink or purple.   The men of the species is larger than the females and have more robust features. Their magic is also different colors. Females usually have warm colors, while males have cold colors. The men usually can't grow their hair longer than to the chin either. While the hair of the females grows like weed. Neither males nor females have hair on their face but other body parts can be hairy.

This species has a an interesting history. It reminds me of the "angels" in the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy by Lani Taylor. Would love to see more about their culture.

Check out Natural Magic : a coming of age fantasy novel, because life is hard enough when you're fourteen, even without saving the world. Or listen to it in podcast form .

Thank you for your comment. :) I haven't read that series. I will have to put it on my tbr list. XD One of the main characters in one of my visual novels is a Spectera so I will have to consider cultural things when I develop the plot. The only thing I know about them culturally right now is that they are very gender binary. *ponders*
