Let's consider briefly Heir race species traits

Native planet of Heir race is Lux.

Heir race is not a race, but intelligent species. They just called themself "Heir race".

It's plant life form. The members of the Heir race look like humanoids, but, their structure indicates that they stay be plants at the cellular level.

'Halo' around the head is external organ, the use of which is solar energy storage. Floral species from Lux feed off the sun's energy coupled with nutrients derived from the fog. Because of physical activity members of Heir race need more energy then their static brothers, every minute, and Heir members use the energy of sun from their halo in the dark to be active.

Some members of Heir race can use Harmonic energy in 'magic' way.*


Heir race - asexual plant organisms - reproduce by budding. So newly created organism is a clone and excepting mutations is genetically identical to the parent organism.
Participatory plant breeding is possible only between Monk and Missionary subspecies, but produced organism is always barren. (about subspecies is written below)

Members of Heir race have learned social roles of different genders and became to change their appearance according own wish:
- male
- female
- androgyne
- genderless (luxians who reject 'false' gender difference)

Luxians culture based on a nomadic way of life. They have to move from one place to another to give the area a rest for few years. Cause of it Luxian's houses and even whole cities doesn't stand on the one place, but moved by animals or various devices.


Heir race is divided into few subspecies which different from each other:
•common luxian
•Missionary
•Monk
•Apostol

Common luxians is the largest group among the Heir subspecies. Common members of Heir race can't use harmonic energy consciously.* Average life expectancy is about 80 years.

Uncommon subspecies live separately from others to avoid of miscegenation.

Clan of Missionaries:
To make the missionary activities on other planets possible the most hardy and capable members of the species were selected and grown. The rigorous selection process is continuing to this day.
The main specific trait is halo. Missionary's halo is amazingly developed. It allows the members of clan to survive a hostile environment for few years without any serious consequences.
Family values deeply entrenched. Every family has family ornament, which is used in clothes of family members.
Almost all Missionaries are male. Average life expectancy is about 150 years.

Clan of Monks:
It's a subspecies which can contact with the World Heart better than other luxians. Monks dwell near the Sanctuary and work closely with Licci, the last of Senjor race. Monks can communicate with forest spirits. 'Forest spirits' is a spiritual essence of luxian forefathers.
The first specific trait is vault of spirits. Every of them carries a vault or few vaults of forest spirits. The first vault is transmitted by a preceptor to a disciple. Skilled Monks must create their next vaults by their own if they want to have more spiritual power.
The other specific trait is eyes color. Monks have dark-colored whites of their eyes and irises without pupil. Eyes glow during contact with spirits.
Monks grow old and die very early. Average life expectancy is about 50 years because of heavy mental strain.



Clan of Apostols:
The high society of Lux. They live in Emperor Palace city, which is moved by three huge elephants. The Palace is depicted on the Lux's coat of arms, and every Apostol has the coat of arms image on the clothes.
The extremely long-lived subspecies - about 500 years and more. The oldest living Apostol is Emperor, he's about 2000 years (but it's an exception rather than the rule).
Halo of Apostol is a light-filled disk, unlike ring-like halo of other luxians.
They also have huge growth (one and a half times more than other subspecies).
To define themself from 'commoners' Apostols change their bodies using methods like tree shaping. Some of them take a rest in special sarcophagus which gradually gives requed shapes to the body. Others use stuff looks like something between splint and armor, and have to wear it over few years - it allows them to get the result faster. Apostols call this changes 'theomorphism'.
Apostols wear mask when they contact with other subspecies or when they leave the Emperor Palace. It doesn't apply to 'strangers' - other species and non-luxians.


Common:
1. Small simple halo with small (or without) lighting beams (1 ring)

Missionary:
1. Huge complex halo with big lighting beams (1-3 rings)
2. Family ornament on the clothes

Monk:
1. Small complex halo with medium lighting beams (1-2 rings)
2. Dark-colored whites of eyes and irises without pupil (glow during contact with spirits)
3. Vault of spirits
4. Shining of forest spirits

Apostol:
1. Halo is light-filled disk (with or without 1 ring) with big lighting beams
2. Mask
3. Theomorphism
4. Huge growth
5. The coat of arms image on the clothes
