Korisians
The Korisians are a fictional sapient species originating from the planet Koros. Their homeworld is characterized by a dense, temperate atmosphere and vast, crystalline oceans. Physically, Korisians are humanoid in general shape but possess a unique bioluminescent quality, their skin emitting a soft, pulsating light that shifts in color based on their emotional state. They have large, dark eyes adapted for low-light conditions and typically exhibit slender builds. Korisian society is highly communal and emphasizes collective well-being over individual achievement. Their technological advancements are focused on bio-integration and sustainable energy, drawing power from the geothermal activity of Koros and the unique properties of its flora. Their primary form of communication is a complex blend of telepathic projection and subtle shifts in their bioluminescence. Korisians are known for their peaceful disposition and a deep reverence for their planet's ecosystem, which they consider a single, interconnected organism. Their cultural practices often involve elaborate light displays and synchronized sonic vibrations, used for storytelling and ritual. Exploration and scientific inquiry are important to them, but always conducted with a philosophy of minimal impact.
