Shimreen

Shimreens are radiant crystalline humanoids who are resistant to electricity and amplify energy. They can tweak their body, shifting an arm into a weapon or adjusting their luminosity. Their home world is Shimrinsara in The Vast.

Born on a world wracked by eternal storms, shimreens are autochthonous humanoids composed of glimmering crystal who rose to prominence through tenacity and ingenuity, using magic and technology to adapt to their volatile environment. Now, these ingenious innovators live in idyllic city-states, each encased in a crystal dome that both shields the metropolis and powers the city with the limitless energy of a raging storm.

Like the technology that keeps them safe, shimreens aren't born, but made—forged in sacred volcanoes from lava and crystal shards donated by family.
