Alien Lore

The term ‘Alien’ is rather broad; when it comes down to it, an alien is anything that doesn’t come from this world- other planetary, so to speak. Aliens generally vary from individual to individual; skin colours are most commonly some shade of red, blue or grey- and their eyes are usually black, sometimes with alternative iris colours akin to blues, reds and greens. Aliens are never bright white or pure black, due to the fact that this means they have some form of physical handicap, such as deafness or blindness.

You may find that aliens are covered in unique markings- of which varies depending on the alien. These markings are purely cultural, and are some form of permanent tattoo magic. Markings are given to those who pass milestones and occupations by the “Pillars”, an elite group of aliens who possess godlike powers. While they can also offer tattoos, they can remove them just as easily. Aliens with markings removed past their maturing age are considered criminals and outcasts, not welcome to where they once called home.

Aliens are sensitive creatures. This species is incredibly pain-sensitive, as they can experience pain up to ten times as bad as that of a human would; therefore a light graze would feel like a deadly wound for them. Naturally, their skin is soft. This is how you can tell by touch if an alien is unwell; their skin will feel hardened and flaky. An alien, on average, will be able to live for upwards of five-hundred human years. To them, each year is the equivalent of ten human years. Aliens mature at the same rate as humans, meaning that aliens reach maturity around two-hundred years of age. Kaladrian:

Kaladrian aliens are an unusual kind of alien; they possess the ability to transform into a human, allowing them access to Earth and surrounding colonies. Kaladrian aliens are typically categorized by their blue skin and often “squishy” looking appearance. A Kaladrian alien gains the ability to shift into their “human” form after a long training routine, which usually takes them to the age of twenty in human years (two-hundred in their own). Kaladrians are known for their unique style; they’re devoted to adorning themselves with accessories and family heirlooms, along with extravagant clothing and appearance choices. Some Kaladrians may sharpen their teeth to gain a “dangerous” or “punk” appearance.

Young Kaladrians do not often visit Earth, if at all. However, unlike their younger generations, older Kaladrians find themselves overwhelmed by curiosity and obsession when it comes to the human race, and their quirks and lifestiles. Due to this odd obsession and admiration, Kaladrians have attempted to replicate human life over the many centuries they have evolved with humans. Due to their shifting ability and technology, Kaladrians have lived with humans for many years- humans totally unaware of this fact altogether.

These aliens don’t have a massive magical ability, however they are advanced with tinkering and healing. This is down to many reasons: formulae developed on their own planet, their scientific knowledge and from learning of humans’ own techniques to combat their issues. Kaladrians are considered highly social creatures, and often replicate human mannerisms in trying to be helpful and understanding. Kaladrian mourning is an unusual experience; they will hum as a form of singing to lay their dying at ease, and will often mourn those who have died for every day of their passing life as a form of respect and recognition.

For how peaceful this race is, they’re easily found in conflicts. Kaladrians have found themselves stricken by constant wars caused by the people of Caracalla, a neighbouring planet of intelligent beings. It’s unsure why these wars originated, but it’s highly assumed that the Caracallian people are jealous of something that the Kaladrian people have found, discovered or become. These wars occur annually, forcing Kaladrians that are too young to fight in these wars to flee to other planets, such as the one they love dearly: Earth. Caracallian:

Aliens of Caracalla, also known as Caracallians, are considered to be a “jealous” race of aliens, often prone to starting wars and causing devastation over the smallest kind of jealousies. This race is known for their red-tinted skin and strong tinkering, weaponsmith and smelting abilities.
