Whitewing
A Whitewing is a defender of Razhea Capita and everything it holds. These powerful soldiers train their entire lives to guard the planet and its sacred landmarks. Whitewings are planted around the Cantyma System, defending all five planets from outer threats, primarily focusing on guarding their home planet.
These angelic figures are adorned with luxurious white and gold outfits and armaments. Each soldier is given tailored clothing, maximising comfort and one's ability to defend the planet.
Soldiers are bestowed the Whitewing title after proving their loyalty to Razhea Capita, and Mastermind. Of the millions of soldiers trained in various military organisations, just a few thousand have ever been bestowed this title in all of razhean history.
Whitewings fall under the Winged Guards, taking orders from the Whitewing Ardour. The Ardour is a coveted title given to the oldest living Whitewing. The current holder, Essa Marona, is five-hundred and ninety years old and has been a Whitewing since her two-hundredth birthday.
Magical Military
Whitewings are trained in the art of magic. Their training never stops, soldiers honing in on their talents and raw power throughout their entire lives. Each Whitewing can choose which magic to practice, many opting for an elegant magic, such as hydromancy, floramancy, or phosphomancy.
Soldiers train within the Whitewing School of Magic, an organisation dedicated to teaching Whitewings how to master their powers. Government funding keeps this school in business, providing it with high-end facilities, such as a training arena with holographic environments.
The Whitewing School of Magic is the most renowned institution in the Potenti District. Highly trained soldiers from around the world are sent to this school for further preparation into becoming a Whitewing.
Due to the intensity of training, most soldiers drop out of the school. Some train for their entire lives and are never given the title. It is simply out of reach for most; it is reserved for only the most dedicated and skilled soldiers.
The school receives two hundred new students yearly, with a graduation rate of less than 0.1%. Students are taught the art of battle, approaching it in an elegant manner. Students must remain secretive about happenings within the school, particularly training methods and resources used.
Utilities & Weapons
Whitewings are provided with only the most delicate and powerful weapons to fight their battles. Expert artisans are tasked with carving sleek swords and daggers out of angelite, a precious mineral found deep within Razhea Capita's crust.
Blessed Weapons
To bless a weapon is to bestow it magical powers. This can be done by a sorcerer, requiring great cost. Most Whitewings have their weapons blessed by Winged Guard sorcerers, stationed around the planet. A blessed weapon does little more than provide extra power and strength. That being said, blessing a weapon can make the difference between victory and defeat.
A blessed weapon can be identified by a visible golden aura. Blessed whitewing swords have a glowing golden handle, and blessed guardian rings feature a row of purple vita crystals.
Hair
Whitewings are required to take a serum that turns their hair into a bladed weapon.Whitewing Sword

Training for decades, or even centuries, gives Whitewings incredible raw strength. A specialised diet regime in the Whitewing School of Magic enhances one's strength and perception, permanently altering and improving one's abilities. The food items in this diet are not disclosed.
History

A young whitewing is wandering the streets, handing out small stickers while guarding the House of the Mastermind. Better add it to Your Stickerbook! Click to collect sticker: Razhea CapitaRazheans are not typically a hostile species and avoid conflict when possible. Unfortunately, when battle is inevitable, Whitewings have to step up. Only a handful of major conflicts have occurred involving razheans, each time the soldiers showcasing their raw power and strength, besting opponents in war.
Whitewings were among the first razheans sent into space. Their power and influence would hopefully lead the species into the wider reaches of the galaxy, and comfortably plant them as successful, influencial people in the Milky Way. Some saw Whitewings as a threat; few species bring their strongest soldiers into space for the first time.
Razhea Capita has had countless minor conflicts with Karkhala and the oanie. While the two forces rarely broke into battle by themselves, the Galanti League called for backup from the Whitewings during the Galanti-Karkhala War and its final conflict. Twenty-five of the strongest razhean fighters slaughtered hundreds, if not thousands, of Karkhala's golden soldiers.
Did you hear about those Whitewings that left the planet a few days ago? Apparently something big's going on just outside the solar system. Kinda nervous. Yeah... I'm worried. Those apes have been threatening us a lot lately.

Interesting. I like the idea of a serum that can turn hair into a bladed weapon.
