Homebrew Locus Species Details

Cosmic Creations:
A Locus is a product of a rare series of cosmic events coinsiding with rifts inthe weave of magic. During local solar system events, such as eclipses, meteor showers and comet passes is when you're most likely to see them pop up, as they tend to form more frequently during such events. While traveling to a planet, their bodies begin to form around their rocky center. When formed into a baby, they are encased in a cocoon that supplies them nutrients and protects them from the heat of re-entry and the elements of a planet until they're fully developed, upon which their rocky prison hatches. Their bodies are made up of a combination of syntheitc tissue and cosmic matter combined to form their physical body. They tend to feel very cool to the touch, and have a distinctly mysterious aura that follows them around everywhere they go.

Mysterious Omens
Loci tend to appear before or after certain events where the cosmos and the mysterious energy of the arcane weave intersect. Such events are usually an omen of some great change within the world. As such, the sighting of even one Locus is interpreted by most as a sign or an omen of a change in the world. Loci are sometimes the targets of bounties or chased out of towns due to their association with such signs or their strange and utterly alien appearance. Other times they're welcomed into these communities, usually because they assume they know more about these signs and future events than the average person would. They usually don't, but they're kept around either way.

Locus Traits

Locus biology is a strange and unique one. Their entire form is built around a core consisting of some kind of cosmic debris, such as a piece of a meteorite or an orb filled with plasma. Their skin can either be soft blue, light green, or gray. Their eyes glow softly, giving them cosmic heat vision, and are usually purple, blue or orange in color. Their hair is commonly milky white or dark gray, although it can be brown, black, green, blue or purple as well.

Heatsight

As a Locus, you have a second sight that relies  purely on the heat of the world around you. While using heatsight, you see the world as a spectrum of reds, blues and yellows based on how hot or cold objects and creatures within 30 feet are around you. You can see invisible creatures, but only if you are aware of them and if they are not hidden from you. You can switch between heatsight and your normal sight as a bonus action.
