Ratorians

Ratorians are a race of creatures built out of Spirit-infused metals and minerals native to Rathnir.

Genesis
First Ratorians, The Primordials, were as old as Rathnir, built of primordial materials and full of wild spirits seeking peace in the deep caves of Rathnir.They were built out of metals and gems, infused with the spiritual powers. They lived in caves, meditating and polishing gemstones.Primordial Ratorians did not build civilizations or gathered into groups. They would gather amethyst and perform sacred rituals in their caves, most of them were lost to time. The Primordials after tens of years infused into Rathnir, which made their bodies fall apart and their spirits fill Rathnir. The spirit surge has changed Rathnir and created the first sentient lifeforms on the planet.

Characteristics
Ratorians are humanoid creatures with distinguishable body parts, similar to those of humans. They may have different skin colors, but they are usually grey, or in colors similar to teal. They are around 2 meters tall. They are unable to grow hair, and have monochrome eyes.

Sometimes, minerals and stones under places soaked with spiritual energy might create a cocoon. Inside of it, structure of a humanoid body is built. After decades, when development is complete the cocoon turns into liquid that soaks into born Ratorian's body, leaving only a thin shell that Ratorian can easily break through and be free.

Ratorians wear simple clothes, as they have no need to protect themselves from temperature or weather. They do not need food to survive, but it refreshes their minds and gives them energy. They however still have to consume water, as it is needed for the spirits inside them to keep the Ratorian's body and mind intact. They are unable to have children or give birth, as the only way for them to be born is from the Rathnir's ground.

Culture
Ratorians are pacifistic in nature, rarely taking part in any conflicts as they are close to indestructible, and they do not see anything as truly dangerous. They are very devoted to their leaders. Ratorians usually adopt their religion from the place they were born in, yet they always additionally worship the planet Rathnir, and the spirits that roam it. They know every planet inhabited by sentient creatures is full of spirits keeping the life of the planet. They also believe creatures on the planet are similar to spirits that inhabit it. Their Pacifism is related to the fact Rathnir is inhibited mostly by peaceful spirits. The Amethyst is the most important gemstone in the Ratorian culture, as it has the greatest potential to hold spirits and is most useful in various rituals.
