Celinae are a closed species. You may create one with my permission or create one for duo-Regna 


Celinae [se-li-na-eh] [plural: Celinae]


Story

Thousands of years ago, a grandfather to two children was sitting under a tree in the shrine of Faiyoraphaeh. He was dying, and hoping to recieve the blessing from the goddess of life he recited one last prayer. He sat there seven nights and seven days. When the old man took his last breath, brilliant, spectral wings unfurled from his back and his body aged backwards. Somewhere, on the other edge of the earth, the same happened to an old woman sitting by the shrine of Morteidiicum, praying for a peaceful death. Both were taken up to the sky into a sparkling city of marble and crystal. That is how the first two Celinae were born. One light, one dark. Since then many people. young and old have been carried up to the mirage cities on spectral, shining wings. These people were blessed by the deities for their achivements, dedication, strenght, bravery and courage. Celinae were bestowed with powers on a godly scale. They were also granted the ability that, by assembling all Celinae, they would be able to connect Callithrix and Lunae into one planet again.

Appearance

Celinae aren't much different from humans other that their eyes and hair are brightly sparkling. The most important and distinct feature is the wings they bear. Those wings can be any shape and are not connected to the back and emit strong light and magic. There is often a glow at the base of the wings. They come in any bright color for light Celinae, and any darker colors for dark Celinae. They live a very long life, reaching up to 10 000 to 20 000 years.

The top wings belong to a light Celinae, where the bottom ones belong to a dark.

If one was carried up by the deities to the Celinae cities, what decided what kind of Celinae would become is the deity shrine you were by or visited last at the time. Besides light and dark celinae, there are rare elemental individuals ( water, fire, earth, wind, electric, etc. ).

It is not possible anymore to become a Celinae because the deities have woved not to lift any people up again. However, new Celinae are born in their own circles.

The clothing of Celinae can be any culture. Most common is European cultures, however a great deal are Middle-Eastern, Western or Asian. The same rule of color applies to the clothes like to the wings. Bright for light Celinae and darker for dark. The clothes are often decorated with shimmering embroidery, jewels and studs.

All hairstyles, mainly female, are full of pins and accessory. Gems, flowers and pearls all grace the intricate hairstyles and complete the supreme Celinae fashion.

Culture


The are no rich or poor Celinae. Light, dark and the elemental minority live in perfect balance. In a Celinae city it is clearly seen where light or dark individuals live. However, in the daily life, they operate together. Looking at a city from above will create a pattern. The cities are surrounded by shimmering barriers that filter magic and Celinae assigned with the task can control the weather inside the city's barrier. Small quarrels happen now and then, but genereally, Celinae are very calm their entire life. They live in large, prestigious villas and manors made out of either white or dark purple marble and crystals. 

Only about 10% of the society is elemental. They usually live in smaller houses crammed in between the light or dark districts.

Religion


Celinae deeply believe in the gods. Many feasts and processions are dedicated to deities and each district has one shrine that they pray to their selected deity in. Celinae consider themselves and are considered to be the chosen, completed and perfectly peaceful race. Despite that they are humble about that position and are very acceptant.
