Tell me more about this original species with fused mask faces.
You utter fool, straight into my trap card. You have no fucking idea what you've just unleashed.
Alright below are some VERY OLD info panels that I need to update sometime soon. They aren't incorrect information wise or anything, it's just old old old art.
I'm still undecided on If I need to change the species name at some point, but for now we can call them Aurians or alternatively, by their subspecies, Daylings, Nightlings, and Dusklings.
They came about because I needed a special race for a medieval fantasy setting of mine, moon and sun themed specifically. They are an open species and I try to allow everyone as much freedom with them as possible. Whether it be for people to make their own and even use them in stories if they really want to, or to make adopts and sell them. I'm pretty chill with what others want to create with them, provided no one claims the species as a whole as their own.
The sun god Soline and the moon god Nicto fled from the mainland to get away from the humans hunting down the various main deities across the continent, presumably imprisoning or killing them, history doesn't seem to know which one it was. They both settled on a distant island, then both cried over what they assumed to be the deaths of their deity friends. Those tears changed shape and turned into intelligent beings with extreme magical capabilities.
Some extra facts!:
Aurian's can reproduce without the tears of either of their deities. They will take a sort of special tub or vat, fill it with water, place their soon to be child's mask in, and will add their own blood to the water. It's tradition for would be parents to sacrifice their ring finger.
Because of how they reproduce, biological sex, isn't much of a thing. Some may still have what could resemble sexual organs but its considered a mutation. Their language mostly uses gender neutral terms but some may still go by more gendered terms, This isn't a thing of "they are all canonically nonbinary" and more so of "nonbinary is considered a default for them".
I draw them as mostly humanoid but honestly, be as shapey as you want. Make furries, make abominations. Just got to make sure their masks are gold/silver, can't be taken off without killing them, and that their skin resembles the day, night, or dawn/dusk skies respectfully.
concerning the skin of Nightlings, feel free to give them galaxy skin. It wasn't shown in those simple drawings but I do often draw them with galaxies on their skin.
Although they were created for a medieval fantasy setting, I also use them for modern and, will eventually use them, for sci fi space settings as well. No issues with others using them in non medieval settings either.

I think the top one was closest to what I wanted? They have larger eyes and pointy faces and I’m not sure they have noses. They’re anime. :p I never said I was an artist..
A new blog post, this time on one of the game's factions: The Aurians
Hi Everybody, Duffy  and Chris here. This week we’re going to talk about a faction we’ve mentioned early on but have never really dived into. The wait is over, because today we’re talking about the Aurians. (more…)
"The most influential, but smallest group is called the Aurians. The Aurians are humans with advanced brains, having developed a means of containing deep mana reserves. From what I collected, they have an ability to wield magic effectively, but more crude than that of graceful beings such as Elves. And this allowed them to conquer the continent in ancient times."

"The Aurian people are not so much for physical prowess, although there are some exceptions. I noticed that the males are typically slim, and can range anywhere from five to six feet in height. Females are also slim, and can range anywhere from four to five feet in height. Aurians always have fair skin, many are albino and pale. Some have odd hair colors, but white and black are the most common variations of Aurian hair color."
- From Dale Bookman's "Humans - Volume One: The Aurians"Â
"The Aurian's society became rigid and dictatorial, as it struggled to maintain order over numerous continents. They began practicing infanticide, killing infants with poor magical power and artificially created marriages between those of power, purely for the sake of producing stronger offspring. The end result was that modern Aurians have great magic strength, but numerous genetic illnesses. All of this was due to recessive traits and inbreeding being ignored, for the sole purpose of producing greater power.
This split the Aurians into two categories; stable, and Psycho. Psycho Aurians have suffered a partial fusion of the various lobes in their cerebrum, making all functions relating to personality warped and distorted. Thoughts and inhibitions, in them, are deeply changed as instinct and raw emotion governs rather than reason. They are often sadistic and insane, but these sacrifices make their spiritual functions much stronger.
They are a necessary evil for what remains of their country. And although they were once kept carefully locked-up, after their empire collapsed in the onslaught of slave rebellions and resistance from all other races, they were needed dearly. It is thanks to these destructive beings that Alexandria, the oldest standing human country, remains standing and well. But also loathed by others."
-Â Brandon Pageless'Â "The Aurian Kingdom"
