Note:

- These are not actually new just factions I have from my own personal universe I'm opening up to both my own use and others if any one so wishes to use/join one of these factions.

- Lots of these concepts and terms are already used for the Rin because the universe I created revolves around such concepts with most factions connected in some way to the lore and magic of the place.

Elyya (Or just Elya):

A race that has no true 'shape' or one that is known they instead they in a way choice what they look like. Most claim this happens at 12ish but some say it is a process beginning in the womb. They can only do this once naturally (Naturally as within one life) unless they have a soul stone (A small blue stone that captures their soul when they die and acts as a womb of sorts allowing the Elyya to be reborn in a new form)

Elyya also have another gift, a special connection to what the Rin call the void (Aluiditerium or as the Elyya call it Nediyya) certain worlds have a strong connection so strong Elyya are able to 'connect' them and make a stable path within the void allowing instantaneous transportation from one to another. These worlds are called Cradle worlds and many thousands are spread across the universe.

Elyya tend to stay close to these Cradle worlds only expanding a system or two away from the nearest cradle world, although they always have scouts looking for 'Shimmering worlds' (From which soul stones come from)

The appearance of a Elyya can vary but most take on a slender form with light purple skin (Some chose other colors like red or white) and what we would call 'elvish' features. They are a prideful people always searching for new Cradle worlds and Shimmering worlds to add to there respective kingdoms (The Elyya are not a united government instead they are split into a series of clans)

Jalki:

Nothing is really known of these mysterious species of what seems almost human looking beings riddled with tumors and other hideous features. nothing is known of origin some say a Rin experiment gone horribly wrong others say lost human explorers corrupted by the Demons of the Void.

Of what is known is these beings are a plague spreading the vile 'Red Scar' across the universe in large and rather shoddy constructed 'Plague Ships' (Massive asteroids with stations and massive engines built all around).

The Rin tend to exterminate 'Cults' of the Red Scar when ever they pop up maybe the people of the universe should too... after every outbreak worse things begin to fester and spawn....

Nek'ta:

A species that long ago 'died' in the sense. Of what is known is rather little other then the Nek'ta as a civilization where destroyed when the Angels (The one's of Rin myth) imploded their home star. What the Angels didn't know is that the Nek'ta spread far across the universe finding suitable worlds to build massive sleeper colonies called 'Tombs' from these they have slept some of the tombs have been destroyed over time while others prematurely awaken.

As a people they look sort off like the Rin (Most confuse them with a Rin sub-species) most are of a light red tint and with elvish like features but much more is different. They are a people united by the sole rule of a Padishan who rules over all tombs and in all senses of the words is immortal (His corpse is plugged into a massive computer world)

His rule is not full though the empire is scattered and splintered after years of slumber many rivals have risen to power making there own Dynasties across the universe. It is in this situation most newly awoken Nek'ta find themselves split between loyalties.
