Appearance & Physiology

Lumistera typically stand upright at an average height of 5’11”/1.65m, have forked tongues, large paws with non-retractable claws and one fused pad between the palm and fingers, their fur varies in length and they will commonly have longer tufts on areas of their body such as elbows, hocks, chests and back of the neck. They can have a variety of ears and tails, though it’s common for them to be a bit long.

Most notable feature of the lumistera is their bioluminescence, seen in their flesh, markings, horns/antlers and hooves. Most lumistera will possess some kind of bioluminescence, it’s rare for lumistera not to have any, but it can occur in lumistera born outside of their species’ glowing and shaded homelands, additionally lumistera that spend extended time in brighter environments may have their bioluminescence dim. In such cases if said lumistera spend time back in their homelands or consume food from them, their glow will return. They can also somewhat control their glow, making it dim at will, though this takes conscious effort, so they don’t do it very often.

Second notable part of lumistera is their horns and hooves. While some may lack horns, non-hybrid lumistera are not seen without hooves without body modification. Lumistera horns come in all shapes and sizes, while as previously mentioned they may lack them entirely, having a good set of horns is a point of pride for lumistera. They can shed and regrow their horns occasionally, but don’t usually do so regularly.
