Solus

The Solus are a rare race only currenly present on Rathnir. They are beings from the stars, who crash to planets in what is known as a shooting star, where their life begins.
== Biology ==
The Solus are highly adaptable to their surroundings, and as such will take on the form of whatever material they first touch after landing on a planet. This variation is called their Roi. For example, if they touch dirt their body will reconstruct to be made out of dirt, if they touch stone their body will be hardened like stone, and so forth. As part of their adaptablility, they will live naturally longer lifes, hundreds of times the length of a normal human's lifespan. Their hair usually takes the appearance of the surface of the planet, which is a key identifier on Rathnir as the world is mostly water.
=== Origin ===
The age of a Solus is derived from how long it has been since they parted from the Thite Kelas, which has been broken up into the Himoa Judac and the many Gimo Judacs that are spread in the universe. The shard of the Himoa Judac or Gimo Judac (commonly referred to as Judal) grows a Solus inside of it, as long as it's big enough. Part of the Judal shards are burned away while entering the atmosphere, so in order to grow a Solus it must have at least a 3 meter thick diameter at the thinnest. The Solus will grow out of the rock inside, which has led to various sizes of Solus, but usually within natural human sizes.
As all Solus come from the Thite Kelas, they do not have parents, but those who adapted on the same planet with same Roi share more genetics, so it is not uncommon to see them adopt a parent-child or sibling-like relationship with eachother, with the older Solus acting as the older roles.
The Judal Shard that a Solus comes from has unique properties, though the effect may vary from planet to planet, but in general the outer rock is a highly sturdy material and the inner rock posseses slight maigical properties, such as being able to float ~ a meter off the ground. This property is amplified in the Solus, which is the core of the Judal Shard.
