I put the "" around light because I haven't exactly named their power yet...bad I know....especially since I'm into chapter fifteen in the book I am writing with them. Oh well, suppose it's just one of those laws of writing that I never follow. Anyways, here is my little thread about them. I know a decent amount...it's basically just a few naming holes that I need to patch up (can't decide if their language is Hebrew or Latin or a variation of the two). Okay, here we go.
Appearance: Lumanians look pretty much like humans. Their height varies but when fully grown they are never below 5'10" or above 6'3". This can make them seem intimidating to the shorter races (such as Lupis and Black Dwarves) though they don't need to be feared. Most of them have either very jet black or very light blond hair, never in between unless they are of the less common kind of Lumenian. (explained in "abilities") They are often thin and without much visible muscle mass, but are nevertheless very agile and one of the best fighting races. As for skin tone; it varies. Most common tone is a pale white, though, the Lumenians with jet black hair often have a darker olive colored skin tone.
Abilities: Lumenian comes from the Latin word lumen meaning "Light", when paired with the English suffix ian the invented definition changes to "Light-wielder" or "Of Light". They are given this name due to the ability that all are born with. A power to create glowing orbs (each different color shade) of a substance...not entirely known to man. It can disintegrate your enemies, call to your friends, serve as simply another way to throw a punch, and even be used as a shield when you are under attack. That is the basic of these abilities, at least. When fully developed most Lumenians find they have also been given the power of Levitation.
Less Common Lumenians: A chosen few of them are born with a special gift Elah Shaddaih has granted them...the gift of telepathy. They can place a whisper into the thoughts of another's mind and some find it possible to force said person to do things. Assuming the person being forced is not Lumenian himself, for he will have a certain amount of control over his mind that makes it increasingly harder to break it. Though, it is possible.
History (In Short): When Elah Shaddaih molded our planet and all living being in it they where his chosen ones. The race chosen to know of him even after the fall of Pavix, well into the days of humans blindness, and after all prophecies had been fulfilled. Though when one of their own fell (Pavix, as I have mentioned before) they where no longer permitted to see Elah Shaddaih every day, instead he roamed around. Watching in despair as Pavix's lies filled the humans minds. Some of them fell in love with a few humans they met one day...and so the race was merged with those of normal abilities and forgotten, upon the formation of the three villages; Realta, Wesmorin, and Yernen. This is what brings us to present. A young Lumenian girl whom did not know of her power and now must discover it before others are hurt by her father's own discovery.
Wow...that was uncharacteristically long of me...Don't usually know/write that much about my races. Anyways, hope you enjoyed and that I didn't just hopelessly bore you!

) Did the names you offer have definitions or did they also mean "light people"?
