Homebrew Luma (SMW) Species Details

The lumas are quite odd in that they are a species that originates from space.  They were first discovered when a space traveller named Rosalina helped a young lost luma.  She “adopted” them, and now the whole species treats her like their queen.  The luma are perpetually naive and good-natured, though they will be troubled by depression when others act aggressively towards them.  They occasionally travel down to the world to gain more life experiences, and they fly back home when they’ve decided they’ve learned enough.  Most believe the lumas are the souls of humanoids who went up to Rosalina, and the lumas haven’t really ever confirmed or denied this.

A luma is a star-shaped creature with two small eyes and a mouth located in the center of its body.  They glow very faintly, and they are capable of flying with no assistance of wings.  Each one has a very distinctive color, but they identify each other by the sound of their voices, which can sound like pleasant chimes.

(For the purposes of simplicity, the lumas speak elvish as their natural language.)
