omnours

Omnours are a fictional species appearing in the speculative fiction works of author K. R. L. Jenkins. They are primarily depicted as a sentient, silicon-based life form originating from the planet Xylos. Physically, omnours are described as crystalline entities, often taking on geometric shapes with multifaceted surfaces. Their exact form can vary, but they typically possess a rigid, translucent exoskeleton.

Their biology is fundamentally different from carbon-based life. Instead of organic compounds, their internal processes rely on complex crystalline structures and energy transference through specific resonant frequencies. Omnours are known for their advanced understanding of energy manipulation and resonance, which forms the basis of their technology and communication. They communicate through a form of modulated light and vibration, a process that can be perceived by other species as intricate patterns of shifting colors and subtle hums.

Omnours are characterized by their logical and analytical nature. They tend to approach situations with a detached, objective perspective, often prioritizing efficiency and long-term stability. While not inherently aggressive, they are fiercely protective of their home world and their unique way of life. Their societal structure is believed to be highly communal, with individual omnours functioning as integral parts of a larger collective consciousness, though the precise mechanisms of this are not fully detailed. Their interaction with other species in Jenkins' narratives often highlights the contrast between silicon-based and carbon-based forms of intelligence and existence.
