Wolpaster

Wolpasters are a mammalian-draconic humanoid species. Most of the surviving members of the species are unaware that they have a home planet.

## Anatomy & Physiology

All Wolpasters are covered in fine, black fur with a patch of white fur on top of their heads that is similar to hair. They have big, floppy ears that point downwards located on the side of their heads. They have two eyes with no pupils, instead their eyes look like they are filled with stars. They have a single pair of whiskers that are the same color as their sclera. On their forehead is a bony protrusion that is referred to as a gem and is the same color as their sclera. They have a pair of horns that have X number of points that corresponds to their age. Wolpasters have long tails that end in a feather plume that is the same color as this sclera with a pair of whiskers that are a secondary color. They are digitigrade, but as they get older the move quadrupedally.

### Abilities

All Wolpasters are born as twins. Between two Wolpaster twins, one has a healing aura and the other a decaying aura. These effect anything that resembles life, but are nullified if the twins are near each other. Conversely, if two Wolpasters with the same aura are near each other the area of effect increases. This aura power mostly comes from the gem in their forehead. If this gem becomes cracked or is removed their aura's range and effect is weakened or greatly reduced respectively. Wolpaster twins are able to communicate with each other telepathically, an ability that cannot be blocked or hindered by outside forces, or the cracking/loss of their gem.

Wolpaster are a rather hearty species, able to survive in the vacuum of space. If one of the pair is attack, the wound is also inflicted on the unharmed twin. When they grow older, many become nomadic and travel through the universe. While the pair can separate, they have the urge to stay close together and are subconsciously pulled towards each other.

When Wolpasters reach maturity, they grow dramatically larger, and continue to grow until their death.

Due to being so reliant on being twins, shapeshifting species are unable to change into them.

## Society & Culture

Wolpasters rarely see another of their kind that isn't their twin. This coupled with not having a home planet or any knowledge of other Wolpasters, they do not know their species history, society, or culture.

A Wolpaster's pronouns are dependent on their aura. Healing aura Wolpasters have the pronouns ha/har and decay aura Wolpasters have the pronouns de/der.

## History

Wolpasters used to all live on one planet until an event known as "The Uncoupling", where a group of Wolpasters with a decaying aura decided they want to take over the Universe. They tricked their siblings and managed to put all of them into in a medically induced coma in a hidden facility. After making sure everyone thought they were dead, they left their home planet at set about their plan of killing all life on neighboring planets as a start of their empire. However, as these Wolpasters stayed together their aura grew to such a range and power that nearly all life within the universe was wiped out, the only ones left being the Wolpasters due to the the healer Wolpasters' aura similarly growing in range and power, albeit much slower due to their being unconcious. An attempt to reunite the groups of twins was unsuccessful, as instead of their auras cancelling each other out, the strength of the decaying aura causes the healers to die, which in turn caused the ones who started this whole mess to die, but not before wiping out the rest of the Wolpaster population.

At least, most of the Wolpaster population. A pair of twins who had been tasked with experimenting with reality had, just before the reunition attempt, been tasked with taking all the current Wolpaster babies into a pocket dimension just in case something catastrophic happened. 25 pairs were taken in before the rest of the population were wiped out, leaving 26 Wolpaster twins left. When the first pair realized that there was no life left in their universe, they used their knowledge of reality to send out the 25 pairs to different universes to avoid the same thing from happening again. This first pair is still in their original universe, working to try and fix what had happened.

## Naming Conventions

When born, Wolpasters instinctively know their names and the names of their twin. Their names start with the same letter, are similar sounding, and are 9 letters long.

Wolpaster symbols are generally the first letter of their name colored with their primary color, and a squiggle over the letter in their secondary color.
