| Reigar, from Boo's Astral Menagerie |
Reigar are androgynous folk who evolved into a humanoid shape from a species of cephalopods similar to octopi. They have bioluminescent freckles and the ability to change the coloration of their skin. A glory (or halo) surrounds each of them. This magical display is a cloud of twinkling, glittering motes that changes color randomly and repels attacks.
History[edit]
Millenia ago, the reigar waged war across their homeworld's landscape. Since the start of their history, the reigar followed the pursuit of art, with their greatest art being violence. Once they developed their esthetics, living spaceships, those above the planet destroyed their homeworld in its entirety in what would be known as the Master Stroke. After this, the remaining reigar abandoned their world with little regard for it, pursuing new ways to find the ultimate expression of art and war.
Society and Culture[edit]
Reigar are a scattered people, living individualistically on their esthetic spaceships across the phlogiston, with the remaining reigar lacking any trust in eachother, and any meeting will likely result in hostilities. However, most reigar still follow their people's beliefs that the warfare is the greatest form of art, and that violence is a beautiful and creative act. Reigar are also very flashy and artistic in other ways, labouring to ensure their appearances and presences are striking and unforgettable, though this varies from elegance to gaudiness.
