Colurisn

Colurisn is a race that spawned when the Stead was empty. They created the two Spheres of Existence and proceeded to build the world. They can change things' colors by touching them.

Appearance
Colurisn can have many different skin, eye and hair colors. They will have two antenna-like features called Reachers that can have different shapes. They have large eyes and lack a nose.

They also have an eye-shaped symbol on their chest, which is called a Forcis (translated "center"). It shows their genetic color and if damaged, they will die.

When two Colourisn have their children for the first time, one will be the combined genetic color of the two. All children afterwards will have the color of it's parents, randomly assigned.

Biology
Colurisn do not have biological genders, they can grow to adopt a feminine or masculine personality but their bodies all look the same.

They reproduce by intertwining their reachers. One of them will grow a small piece out of their body which then detach and grows into two new Colurisn.

They bear a genetic color, which will pass on to their children. They can also touch things and make them change into this color. However on living creatures this effect will wear off eventually.

History
The very first Colurisn came to existence as a single living cell, named Rysis. It developed Reachers, first for the sole purpose of navigating the empty, weightless Stead. It would use them to "row" through the air. When it first came across the Light, it developed eyes so that it could see it. It used the light to create it's partner, Ildotia. They proceeded to evolve their bodies and discovered the ability to communicate, speaking the first words of Chijus ever, "ai a" (me and you).

They created an offspring, Skeleos. He was eager to create and stole the Light from them, creating the very first color; blue. He used this to color the skies. Afterwards, he forced Rysis to create his offspring. Their names were Waythes and Angiata. Waythes carried a new color; pink. They then had two more offspring, Oroos and Sylvus. Sylvus carried the color green.

Ildota took the Light, encasing it into an object so it's power would not run wild. It was called the Sphere of Making.

However, Sylvus wanted power, and she took the sphere, using it's power to further enhance her body. She then used the Light on the void of the Stead. However it turned into Darkness instead, and she harnessed it, creating the Sphere of Nothing.

Waythes and Angiata had given birth to two more offspring, Drousis and Stobos. Sylvus decided to test the power on Drousis, hitting it's Forcis with it, and killing it. Angiata tried to attack her but was struck in the back with the force. She was hurt and her hair turned black but she survived.

Oroos questioned Sylvus, but she grabbed him and forced him to give birth to many of her children. She gave them protective chestplates and weapons that could use the power of the Sphere of Nothing, and then sent them out to threaten the others to submit to them.

The others refused and they fought. Colurisnen on both sides were hurt, but eventually, they overpowered Sylvus and took away the spheres of Existence. They exiled her and her offspring into the depths of the Stead.

Now with peace, they created a temple for the spheres where they would be protected. They used the Sphere of Making to evolve their bodies.

A long time passed and the culture grew. Only Rysis and Ildota used the Spheres so no one would abuse them again. They created homes and landscapes to enjoy. They created games and music, art and sculptures. They created words they could write down, and soon, books.

Eventually, some descendants of Sylvus returned, asking to rejoin them, not wanting to be part of their ancestor's violent ways. They were accepted in. Now, they could continue to reproduce with all colors available and all the colors of the rainbows came into existence.
