Ekisian

Eksian is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are characterized by their bioluminescent skin, which glows in a spectrum of colors depending on their emotional state. This unique trait serves as a primary form of communication among Ekisians, with complex patterns and intensities conveying nuanced messages. Physically, Ekisians are tall and slender, possessing four limbs with three-fingered hands and three-toed feet. Their heads are elongated, featuring large, dark eyes that are highly sensitive to light and atmospheric vibrations. They have no visible ears; instead, they perceive sound through specialized organs located along their jawline.

The Ekisian society is highly communal and values cooperation above all else. They live in large, interconnected subterranean cities, designed to protect them from the harsh radiation of Xylos's twin suns. Their diet consists primarily of cultivated fungi and synthesized nutrients. Ekisians have a long lifespan, often exceeding several centuries, and their development is slow, with young Ekisians undergoing extensive education and mentorship. Their technological advancement focuses on bio-engineering and energy manipulation, with little emphasis on conventional mechanical engineering. Their culture is rich in oral traditions and intricate artistic expressions, often incorporating their bioluminescent abilities into performances and ceremonies. They are known for their peaceful disposition and their deep respect for all forms of life.
