Psions

Psions are a race of humanoids with smooth skin, large UV-sensitive eyes, and generally high Mana counts. They are herbivorous natives of the planet Psio of the Harmun system of the Core. With eyes capable of seeing in the ultraviolet spectrum and a pair of antennae used in their empathic abilities, the Psions are vastly intelligent and powerful with Magick, predominantly the arts of Augury and Abjuration. They were the leading race that founded the Alliance of Core Worlds, alongside the Vaan, Vilor, Felisians, Tyranians, and more. Currently, they stand as a voice of leadership in the Core, though their practices of soothsaying are sometimes doubted by their fellows.
== Appearance and Biology ==
Humanoid in shape, with generally lithe frames and standing around 5’5”-6’2”, the Psions are considered beautiful by most races in Aeos thanks in no small part to their pheromones and feminine features. Their face shapes are human, though their eyes are somewhat larger and have an upper layer of protective gel that obscures their pupils from sight. Their heads are adorned with thin antennae tipped with small fur fibers capable of retracting and twitching as they are used to "smell".
Their hands and feet have three, long digits, and spots and stripes decorate their skins in exotic shapes. Their skin colors range from green to blue to even red. Their eye colors are generally bright and glow in contrast to light. The Psions are mono-gendered, with all Psions being female though some will assume male pronouns if desired. While they can reproduce sexually with many different species throughout Aeos, a mental link known as a Jameng or "Joining" is required.

=== Architecture ===
Psions traditionally have built tall Involine structures suspended in the air by kinetic fields. These crystalline structures made use of kinetic sky bridges and special, fast-moving segment trams to get from place to place. Much of the Psionic architecture style is centered around separated buildings or structures held together through kinetic bonds.

=== Philosophy and Religion ===
The Psions revere the Qazzat, whom they call the Par'xun (Psi. "Forever Ones"), as well as honored ancestors they believe have transcended to a greater existence. The Psions believe that the Par'xun found a virgin Aeos in its formative years and created order from the chaos, allowing life to grow and last rather than be consumed as quickly as it is made.
The Par'xun are regarded as a largely neutral pantheon of unknown alignment, favoring those that champion order and preserve knowledge, history, and culture. They are opposed by the Du'vira, the Psions' name for the Daemonas, in a struggle for supremacy over order that will span until Anavorae - the end of the world.

== Military ==
The Psions do not have a large military force on hand, instead relying on alliance agreements with the Kandarrians to make up the bulk of their military defense force. However, the elite Ventali are an order of Psion warrior women trained to fight using Magick and are regarded as some of the best soldiers in the Core.
