Celan

Basic Information

Biological Traits

Celan are massive, muscular, made of fire, skin colour of embers; everything in them is fire, their hair being actual flames, eyes of bright burning ember, or their body texture of coal at calm, that become hotter when angered. When in calm state, their hairs are red and their body temperature is close to that of hot water (~60°). Difference between masculine and feminine is hard to make, maybe feminine have sometime longer hair and slightly upper tone in voice; other than that, their shape is the same, they yell as loud, fight themselves without any distinction.

Common Dress Code

They are the only Athrian that actually have a real dress code that is not the one of the humans. As they are elemental of fire any burst of anger (which is at least once a day) would make any clothes burn. What ? Aether clothes, or enchanted fireproof human clothes ? Never heard of it! Whatever do you mean it's just an excuse to be showing our perfect bodies ?

Culture and Cultural Heritage

They are impulsive, prone to fight, but always in respect and honour. Bad celans are violent, burning whatever is in their path, slaughtering the weak and worshipping the powerful. Good celans are stubborn, show-off and inclined in banquet with lot of food and alcohol for the simple pleasure of leaving long faces to humans. However, they are more than capable of having etiquette and martial honour, and are even extremely picky with it. For a good Celan, being weak is not a shame, it is respectable to be weak if you try your hardest to surpass yourself and fail; “better live a thousand fail than resting in simple life.”
On Athria, they were fond of metallic structure with a lot of spikes, floating on lava rivers. Nowadays they just avoid living on anything that can burn.

Common Customs, Traditions and Rituals

Fight, pride, honour and respect (except evil celan), raw fire and muscular power. Battle every day, show your muscles, show your pride. Yeah, totally show off. Even if Athrian doesn't need to drink or eat, they feast like no tomorrow.
When a Celan is born, the parent are to fight each other in pride and happiness (if they are both Celan, otherwise... well anyway any Celan that know that new Celan are born will eventually brawl to celebrate). When a celan die, they build a statue of them, and then smash it to powder with their mighty fists.

Common Taboos

Not enough fight, not enough person willing to spare.

History

In Athria, they were pure flames, burning and lively. Their world was lava, on which they forged rock houses covered in spikes. They were short-sighted, living for fight and giving other their heat, and rocks for Emkar to live on when fighting Sahime (and Elzia’s cloud). They are master of fire; the temperature of their body can reach that of lava at maximum of their power. In the rage of battle, their hair turns from red to blue, and are capable of melting most of the metals. Phyrios Onirem is known for having been able once to unlock furthermore power, and being able to melt even rocks. Celan can even drive lava flows, and bend rock and metal by heating it, making them the best smith. They often fight bare fist as no human weapon is able to resist their tremendous muscular pressure and heat.
