Nescerei

An aerial race that came to Alandor from the Elemental Plane of Air following the Planar Clash.

The Elemental Plane of Air
The Nescerei were one of the more dominant races on the Elemental Plane of Air, being one of the firsts to establish a greater civilisation on the plane. They created giant, towering cities made out of air and metal.

They founded a culture that was built on effectivity and usefulness, dedicating a lot of time to understand the magic that flowed through them. In their Elemental Plane they were not bound by armour or clothing, instead allowing their forms to flow free.

The Planar Clash
When the Planar Pillars cracked and crashed the Elemental Planes into the Material Plane, the great Nescerei city of Halaraua collapsed into the Abyssal Expanse. The Nescerei within dispersed and later reformed all across Alandor. A large amount of the Nescerei remaining in the Elemental Plane of Air came through to find them. They found that their forms could not keep in the Material Plane and donned armour and clothing to keep themselves whole.

Most Nescerei returned to the Elemental Plane of Air, but a few curious individuals remained in Alandor to explore the new world. They established a new home in founding the city of Halariau in the north.

Names
Nescerei choose names that evoke air or elegance. They want their names to represent the race as a whole, graceful and pure. They have no sense of gender and use the pronouns that fit them

Neutral Names: Anima, Aura, Bellus, Collibet, Caelum, Comtus, Gratia, Lautus, Lepos, Mundus, Musa, Nebula, Nitor, Ventus, Venus

Appearance
Nescerei are utterly unique in appearance, mostly due to their lack of a solid form. Nescerei are, at least to some degree, incorporeal. They are lithe and tall, with whitish and purplish toned "skin." As they don clothing, it becomes light and wispy, as with their bodies. As they don armour, it becomes spiked and almost a hard shell over their contained forms. Nescerei have blue or purple eyes, faintly glowing, and the presence of hair depends on the individual, but usually takes on the form of white or black wispy, long bangs.

Age
The Nescerei do not necessary age, but their forms are slowly dispersing the more time they spend on the Material Plane. Their forms do not heal themselves when they return to their Elemental Plane, so most Nescerei spend only little time in Alandor. The ones who stay live near to 200 years before becoming wispy airs that return to the Elemental Plane of Air.

In the Elemental Plane of Air, they can live nearer 1,000 years.

Personality
Nescerei are peaceful and curious in their nature, always looking for ways to evolve their magic. They are not necessarily made for travels, instead opting to stay in developed cities with their kin. But their curious nature can sometimes make them wanderers and they travel the world to find new wonders.

Subtypes
The difference between the subtypes of Nescerei depends on what they clothe themselves in: Storm Striders wear heavy armour, while Ethereals wear light.

Storm Strider
Nescerei are born of air and the power of the sky, as such many Nescerei gain powers over thunder and storms. As a Storm Strider, you have the ability to walk through the storm and remain unscathed. Your allies will bewilder as you revel in the chaos, using it to your advantage. Before your enemies know what hit them you will have already survived the storm and come out from the other side as if it had never happened.

Donning armour that is harsh and shell-like, almost metallike in appearance, they shield themselves from harm.

Ethereal
While some Nescerei choose to embrace their wild nature, you have elected to become more focused and controlled. As an Ethereal you have control over your body and it's power of air. You can become an airy phantom, using your incorporeal body as a tool of subtlety and utility. You allies and enemies alike will be mesmerised by your wispy dance through the air.

Donning light armour, it is just enough to keep their almost wispy form contained.
