Sotolan

Sotolans are the dominant race of Sotol. They are a humanoid species, coming from a fragment of a star- called a ruby star- which gains consciousness and has its genome completed by the touch of another Sotolan. Being made of stardust, as well as having a star-like core in their body, lets them live naturally for around 2,000 years, in addition to having supernatural abilities, with the same ability as their Ancient being referred to as a baseline ability.

Despite their long lifespan, there are only a small fraction of Sotolans alive today than there were on their home planet, since the Tasa Bombing eradicated almost all of them. They are currently broken into Sky Gods and Levunaltans, with the Sky Gods being a nomadic group of the last seven remaining Sotolans, and Levunaltans being denizens of Levunalte.

Creation
The first Sotolans, the Ancients, were created in a collapsing nebula. From there, they discovered Sotol and slowly began to grow the population. No other known Sotolans have been made from a nebula like the original Ancients were.

Average Sotolans are created from ruby stars, a small offshoot of a star. They are roughly 2 feet in diameter and float around until they die or until another Sotolan discovers it and touches it. They contain an incomplete genome, only completed when they are touched and a small amount of stardust is transferred to the star. This, for the most part, also affects the star's eventual appearance.

Races
There are a total of 8 races, one of them being artificially created. As of recently, none of the populations have any substantial number.

Ekataran
Ekatarans have a baseline ability of electricity, with other abilities being wind and metal manipulation. Appearance-wise, they usually have a pale complexion, either a shade of white or pale blue-purple, though colors like pink and silver have been seen.

Equitians
Equitians, unlike the other races, only have the ability of water. However, they're abnormal in the sense that their power is gauged by their color, not their size. Orange Equitians are weaker, then yellow, silver, light blue, and then dark blue. No completely dark blue Equitians have been seen, though it could be theoretically possible. Unlike other races, the council members (light blue to dark blue) have varying degrees of psychokinetic and telepathic abilities.

Appearance-wise, their colors vary from orange and yellow to silver and blue. Their size is random by person, since their power is not related to size.

Gikarans
Formerly Gitirsans, these people have the abilities of rock and energy manipulation. Some have been seen with light manipulation, showing the overlap between Gikarans and Satirans. finish this later its 12 am im tired
