Lumanaika

Luminaika are human descendants and appear mostly humanoid with a few defining features. Their most defining difference is their bioluminescence. Every Luminaika has bioluminescent eyes, hair, and lips, though some Luminaika have additional bioluminescent markings on their skin. Some Luminaika invest in luminous tattoos, as well. They are a mysterious, religious people. They love the truth and despise dishonesty. They also value silence- they are a people of few words. When Luminaika do speak, their words are usually measured and well thought out. Of course, this is only a cultural standard, and behaviour varies from person to person. Luminaika have impressive darkvision, as well as enhanced senses. Because of this, they often linger in dark spaces, having little need for electrical lighting. They are able to hear, smell, and feel more subtle sensations than humans can, though they are not quite as sensitive as some annids.
