Luminous were once an elf like race that was involved in a prolong
battle with evil. As their numbers were dwindling the Gods granted the
remaining Luminous the power to combat evil and the undead. Where
as undead have the power to drain life, luminous have to power to
restore and heal others. The infusion of divine energy into the
Luminous altered the race significantly. Much of their facial feature
disappeared and their entire body began to glow with their new powers.
They are no longer capable of eating in a normal fashion and must
hold food in their hands to transform it into energy that is then
absorbed into their bodies. They can still talk, but they have no mouths,
only a face with eyes as the distinguishing characteristic.
Luminous make their presence known wherever they travel and they
are not afraid of drawing attention. Luminous are generally welcome in
any city accept one with a strong evil presence or ruled by cults of
demon worshipers. More often then not they dwell with either humans
of elves, but some have taken up residence with the other races. Once
the initial fascination with them has disappeared the Luminous goes
about his or her business of rooting out evil. Keenly aware that their
presence is both fascinating and intimidating Luminous avoid most
social occasions. They know that their method of eating and drinking is
somewhat disturbing so they are not fond of attending dinners or
frequenting taverns. More often than not if they are present in such
areas it is to serve as a guard or listen to rumors. The only races that
Luminous have a difficult time dealing with tend to be orcs, drow,
duergar and fire and frost giants.
Luminous are obsessed with the eradication of evil and will go to no
end in confronting evil when it is found. Most are drawn to become
Templars for one of the gods or titans. Others are drawn to take
Healer and assist others in their confrontations with evil and darkness.
Luminous have a particular hatred for undead and will often frequent
crypts, ruins and graveyards in their desire to stamp out these affronts
to life. Luminous are not greedy but often accumulate large sums of
money in order to purchase stronger weapons or raise armies to
confront widespread evil.
