Luminescence Suon
A Special gene of Suons allowing the affected person to control the intensity of their own bioluminescence.
They can stop themselves from bioluminessing at all, as well as increase it to much higher levels allowing them to easily navigate an otherwise dark room.
The persons emotions will still have an effect, however, when trained this can be eliminated. This can also be exploited for deception; as many can read base suons emotions from the normally uncontrollable bioluminescence. In some cases, it could effect the outcome of a war. A luminescence suon can play dead if they stop bioluminessing.
However, bioluminescence is necessary for suon survival. Light is a byproduct of the biological process involved to create magnetic monopole matter, whe building blocks of suon biomatter. They can only stop bioluminescence for about several days before a biomass defict can become dangerous.
The luminescence gene was created by a number of mining and other mostly underground organisations to help their people navigate more easily in the dark in case of equipment loss. This gene was difficult to create as suon biolumienscence happens through a symbiotic microbe rather than the host itself. The host will send signals to the microbe to build monopoles much faster, thus creating more light but this is effected by the very energy inefficient process which results in a massive number of magnetic monopoles being formed, beyond the safe amount. To fix this problem, the luminescence gene also contains the genome of a different microbe which creates more light by destroying monopoles. This second microbe is what allows a luminescence suon to create most of their light. The introduction of the second microbe to other genes of suons can be fatal if it is not fought. It might consume too many monopoles in other suons, which can prevent growth. Bright bioluminescence can also result in the body heating up as a large amount of light is created within the body. It is unable to re-emit those photons so their blood also contains a type of coolant which can be deployed by the blood when it detects a lot of heat.
