Edionans
The first species developed for this Headcanon, and in fact the bedrock of it and this site!
This Humanoid species is notable for their light green coloured skin and vibrant coloured hair. They are more feminine in appearance by human standards, with naturally longer hair and eyelashes.
Traits
Their hair can come in a variety of colours, females hair can range from pinks to reds to purples with cooler colours highlighting their bangs. On the opposite side of the spectrum, males' hair comes in colours of blues to greens with warmer colours highlighting their bangs. This colour pallet can also be applied to eye colour. Their skin seems to have a limited range of variation, not leaving the traditional green colours. Though some have been known to be paler or darker shades of green.
Edionans rarely vary in clothing style, sticking to the traditional body suit and vest combo the most often, however examples of wearing other clothing exist, such as the case of Fiore, these are considered regal formal wear and are mostly seen adorned by Noble Clansmen or Cardian Masters. Male Starseed Holders of the species are also noted to wear something like this. Often the colours of the vest tend to stick close to the shades of the Edionan's hair and eye colours.
Abilities
Botanokinesis
Edionans naturally possess more magical abilities in comparison to Humans, one of the less common but notable abilities of the race is the use of Botanokinesis, which is the manipulation of plant matter. This was used back on their homeworld to construct housing structures or other buildings, but this can easily be applied to fighting. This ability requires training in order to properly use.
​
Psychokinesis
A much more commonly used ability is the use of Psychokinesis, much like Botanokinesis, it requires training to use. This can be applied to many of the other abilities they seem to display such as Flying and Teleportation, these are extensions of these powers. It's believed this ability can also allow for rapid assimilation of new languages for them to speak.
Shapeshifting
An ability that is shown by all examples of their kind is Shapeshifting. It's unknown the exact extent of this power, but it's believed they are limited to just humanoid forms, such as the human disguises that An, Ail and Fiore display. This limit does not apply to changing sexes though.
​
​Fingernail Extension
Edionans are capable of extending their claw-like fingernails to a much longer length, this can be used as a medium ranged weapon.
Culture & History
Being born from the Tree of Life that grew on Ediona, the race feels a strong attachment to it and even worships her. They can naturally receive energy to survive from the Tree itself, not needing any other form of sustenance, but if it's required, Edionans can use a function like photosynthesis to recharge themselves. Ingesting food can also help sustain those that are the product of parental reproduction, rather than born straight from the Tree itself.
​
Using the abilities given to them by the Tree, they initially weaved her roots to form shelter. But soon the Tree began to produce saplings, which she graciously donated to her children to weave more structures further out onto the ocean.
Large cities were raised from the oceans, long canals mazed through these cities to allow easy transportation. Around this time, the use of Cardians began, starting off as entertainment for Edionans, and from this a strong affiliation for music began, resulting in the creation of many wind instruments.
​
In their native tongue, "Ediona" means Paradise, which lead to their naming of their world. Shortly after this, they discovered a form of space travel unlike how humans would travel, instead they would use their Psychokinesis to form bubbles of breathable air, which would be able to be moved at high speeds. This would carry the Edionans away from their home and to nearby planets of their star system, and eventually away to other star systems entirely. However, due to their connection with the Tree of Life, they never left Ediona for very long, but when away from home, they would often spread her gift of life to otherwise barren worlds.
​
The act of spreading plant life around caught the attention of some potential enemies and lead to the beginning of the Cataclysm Wars.
Society
The Edionans of the Homeworld are host to several noble houses, with Ive holding one of them, the House of Linguistics. These houses are formed when a new Matriarch is established. The Matriarch is the spiritual leader of Ediona and her will guides the people. The Meidan Edionans do not participate in this practice, but still respect the Matriarch.
