#lavinians

YAY MY WEIRD LITTLE HIPPIE BOTS lavinians are a race of mechanical beings known for their prowess and control over light. they started out as little crystal sprites, which developed into inhabiting rock bodies to move about. they developed into robots later, and are now piezoelectric powered robots who use their crystal as a power source! they live to be about a million years old, and they all sort of. are built at the same time. and die at the same time. yes this causes problems.

later down the road, after hardlight was developed, the lavinians had to go on the defensive due to multiple invading forces wanting to take the knowledge for hardlight for themselves. once peaceful, the lavinians developed 12 massive mechs, known as casters, who had a mastery of hardlight previously unseen or heard of. lua is one such beast. they were piloted by artificers, of which andromeda of the 502nd generation was one. they were known as light guardians, and they had... mixed opinions from the public, especially across generations. they violated a lot of long-held traditions--conserve the earth, don't take longer to die than what your crystal allows, don't commit to violence. but they were necessary. the lavinians were under siege multiple times before, and they can't survive something like that again.

time goes on, and it's unfortunate luck that attracts the earth eater, the great indifference, the primordial hunter, to their humble planet. the mortalix: the event horizon which makes its home on the edge of the universe. the light guardians did what they could, but they were nothing compared to this black mass descending from the void. andromeda and lua set their crystals aflame and burned out most of their life's energy to Burn away the mortalix, but not before it tainted the remaining guardians and drove them to uncontrollable pain and rage, leading them to lash out against the lavinians who survived the initial onslaught. the mortalix also greatly damaged the planet. unstable, the lavinians couldn't carry on.
