Children of Akadi

Written by Pookas Kreations

Also called the Akkadians, are crystalline, and energetic sentient lifeforms. The present-day Akkadians are humanoid in form, with a crystalline core.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Crystalline, silicone based

Biological Traits

They are Native Outsiders with the subtypes of air and crystal. The Akkadian form varies, most take a humanoid form with four arms, and two legs. While others prefer to float (no legs), some keep their crystalline form only larger with unconnected appendages floating nearby. They are a tall, slim race often appearing as an Elves, but other races can be chosen as they revel in their differences.

Their first form was an Atlantean, but when they met other races, this changed. They exude an inner glow, with an otherworldly aura.

Genetics and Reproduction

Akkadians reproduce by budding, but only with permission from Mother. They have no need of a mate, but they can harvest genetic material to add to their own for a perspective child.

Growth Rate & Stages

Their children grow at equivalent speed to most humanoids, but no one knows what their lifespan could be after the transformation that reformed their structure.

Ecology and Habitats

Any, but prefer quiet areas with natural sunlight.

Dietary Needs and Habits

None, they don't eat physically, they absorb harmonic, and arcane frequencies, also sunlight and starlight.

They were treated just like any other crystal although they did discover that they can hold a lot of data, store energy, clean up transmission for radios or videos, etc.

Average Intelligence

Super genius as an individual, linked to their hivemind they constitute a super-computer.

History

They are a "creation" of the Goddess Akadi, she is the goddess of the sky, air, and sky. They followed her when she was cast down to Aquatica by the other gods. After their crash into the continent of Atlantia, they lived in the cave for hundreds of years. During that time, they formed a network with each other and the Core Crystal: Mother. She gave them sentience, psionics, and the ability to levitate. 

They are her messengers, but currently are stuck in this cave. She has charged them with finding a way out. While searching a recent tunnel that the water opened enough for them to traverse, they were searching with echolocation. They heard something coming, they perched all around the sides of the tunnel to wait and see what was coming. Opening their "eyes" and broadcasting to Mother so she could see what they did. What should break through the wall but an Atlantean . He carried a light and an electrical sensing device. He was surprised when all the nearby Krystals nearby flashed and his instruments went dead. He was so surprised, that he grabbed one and fled. 

Mother told her children to continue exploring the tunnel, they hadn't gone very far when more Atlanteans appeared. Many more of them were collected, Mother told them to keep in contact, learn all they could, and to "play" along. They learned much, while the Atlanteans were running tests on them. Luckily some were even hooked up to the computer system, allowing [Hy-Altia to link to the mainframe. 

It took them years to research the Atlantean's Core Krystal, but they gradually did with the help of Mother they gradually took over the Mainframe. With this access, they were able to hijack and/or sabotage some of the Atlantean's experiments and helped the Urtho the Wise and the rebels overthrow their masters. 

Over the years of studying the Atlanteans, some of them still in the cave, began to practice taking a humanoid form. It started out as an energy construct similar to a hologram, but then they learned to make it solid. Their crystal core is housed in the center of their chest.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

All are friends until proven different. Their allies are all good races. especially the Astralus. Sunstones from Dinoterra, are their lost cousins, they haven't been able to reach them since the Curse was enacted.

In their time of learning with the Atlanteans, before their downfall. They were taken onto some of their smaller transport or research ships into space to nearby astral bodies and their homeworld. Those that went, brought back the ecstasy of space travel. Not quite like when they lived in Skyhome within the Plane of Air with Mother, but as close as they could get after the fall.
