rinjës

Rinjës are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are a silicon-based lifeform, characterized by their crystalline exoskeletons that shimmer with a variety of colors depending on their mood and environment. Rinjës communicate through a complex series of harmonic vibrations produced by resonating plates located on their thoraxes. These vibrations are inaudible to most other known species.

Physically, rinjës are typically bipedal, standing around 1.5 meters tall. They possess four slender limbs, two for locomotion and two for manipulation. Their sensory organs are distributed across their cranial structure, with multiple facets that allow for a wide field of vision and the detection of subtle atmospheric changes. They have no discernible mouths or noses, absorbing nutrients directly through specialized pores in their exoskeletons.

Rinjës are known for their exceptionally long lifespans, often exceeding several millennia. Their society is highly communal and focused on the study and preservation of cosmic knowledge. They have developed advanced technologies, particularly in the fields of energy manipulation and interdimensional travel, though their exploration of the universe is primarily driven by scientific curiosity rather than expansion. Their homeworld, Xylos, is a geologically active planet with a dense, mineral-rich atmosphere, perfectly suited to their unique biological needs. Interactions with other species are rare, and they generally prefer observation to direct engagement.
