The Mindrakari are a species of psionic realm travelers, originally found in the Byway, the Mindrakari now live on their flying ships, moving between realms using their psionic abilities. Their species predates the gods, as does their magic. They are on good relations with all people, and can even be used to travel the realms, for the right price.

## Biology and Appearance

Mindrakari are notably tall, most reaching a minimum of 7 feet tall with darker skin tones in shades of black and blue. They appear to be humanoid, with pointed ears and black scelera easily setting them apart from humans. Their clothing styles stand out amongst crowds, taking on unusual patterns and coloring as well as armor made of an unknown material. Mindrakari have been known to live up to 300 years, and appear to have minor abilities in tune with the gods of Terratus depending on their clan. All members of the species are capable of hovering in place of walking, only using their legs when in the presence of one they respect. Mindrakari also possess the psionic ability to communicate mentally to other beings in the form of images and words. Mindrakari are incapable of reproduction, having been kept alive by their gods until their untimely death. To overcome the sudden decreasing population, the Mindrakari create parasites which will infect other lifeforms and transform them into Mindrakari.

## History

### Early History

The Mindrakari used to be led by 8 great warriors with amazing powers. These warriors had created the species, and had let them live long lives, before creating more once the generation was dead. However, one day, these warriors mysteriously disappeared, all traces of their magic gone, except for the small bits of it that had stayed with the Mindrakari who had pledged their lives to serve them. Due to the loss of the one thing stopping their species from going extinct, the Mindrakari panicked, going on a search for something to save them. That's when they found a parasite, which when altered with Psionic powers, could force any sentient creature to become a Mindrakari, and so they started creating more of this parasite.

### Present Time

The Mindrakari have created temples throughout the realms, made to provide and care for those that have been treated badly. Every temple has a secret chamber with a symbol on the ground, these symbols are used to contact the Mindrakari, and summon them, for travel purposes. The Mindrakari have since split into 8 nomadic clans, who move using the great warrior vessels. One of the Mindrakari clans, whose name translates to Realitywave, runs the business that deals with traveling between realms. They are a rather peaceful civilization, mostly focused on figuring out a better way of reproducing without use of the parasites. They are even on good terms with the gods.

## Powers and Abilities

### Psionic Abilities

The Mindrakari have the ability to use their mind to influence the world around them. Every Mindrakari is born with these abilities, though some master them better than others. The Mindrakari have tuned their vessels into being used only by psionic ability, making it so no one else could possibly steal their vessels. The Mindrakari have adapted to the use of the their psionic ability to make it so they don't have to walk, using it to hover above the ground at all times, walking only when they feel the need to. Those who are more skilled in the ability, have the potential to bend almost anyone to their will, or even force people to move, or stay, should they feel fit.

### Heritage Abilities

The Mindrakari all have minor abilities based on what clan they are from. These abilities spread from the worship, and following, of the 8 great warriors. Though the powers have waned over the years, the Mindrakari can still access these abilities, and use them to alter the environment to their will.
