Loreans

Loreans
Loreans are an open race of humanoid beings. They often look like angels and have more natural powers than the average human. They live on the planet Lorea.

Appearances
Loreans are very human in appearance, and it wouldn't be hard for one to be mistaken for a human. Loreans have varying skin tones, just as humans do. Hair colors are usually bright and can be anywhere on the spectrum. Eyes can be any color, though the most common is a strange bright blue. Adult Loreans have angelic wings that they can summon at will. These wings are always naturally shades of white, perhaps with colored tinges, though they can be dyed. When the wings are not in use, or when a Lorean is too young to summon their wings, there are two marks on their back that look like small, stylized angel wings. These marks are always where the wings will appear from.

Lifespan and Maturity
Loreans live and age twice as long as humans. This means that a Lorean that thinks and looks like a 15 year old will actually have been alive for 30 Earth years. Because of this, Lorean children are often wiser (though not necessarily smarter) than human children of the "same" age.

In addition to a puberty similar to what humans go through, Loreans go through the Change. This Change lasts around a week and is an extremely unpleasant experience. During the start of the Change, a Lorean will start "glitching"- they will appear to waver like pavement on a hot day. They will usually get their wings on the first day of the Change and their ability on the last. The Change can happen at any point between 10-18 (20-36) years of age.

Abilities
All Loreans, mature or not, have super strength. A Lorean will naturally be 2-3 times as strong as an average human. Age does factor into a Lorean's strength, as a child will be nowhere near as strong as an adult, but biological gender does not. A Lorean's strength can be improved through training, just as with humans.

A mature Lorean (mature meaning one that's gone through the Change) has a pair of angelic wings that they can summon at will. When summoned, the wings will appear with a sort of glow. These wings can be used for flight.

Each Lorean has a certain ability that they get after the Change. This ability can be anything from teleportation to fire manipulation. The ability a Lorean receives is not dependent on genetics: a child born from two parents, each with fire manipulation, will not necessarily have fire manipulation. If they do, it would be a coincidence.
