Hello everyone,

As I haven't seen many Lucidians around the block I would like to say what it is they actually look like in terms of anatomy. The only good reference is the image on the website and maybe the lucidian researchings?

However, I am interested in knowing how you describe your lucidian..do they have large crystal crags, spikes, ecetera..

So if you wish to share, please post the description of your Lucidian.

Thank you!

I've read a book called the Crystal Singer by Anne McCaffrey, from that influence I've pictured Lucidians as physically quite musical. Notes emitted as they move, light shifting the internal colouring, also with the rising of the sun pure chimes ring the land.

Walking Quartz.

This was Barrin's lucidian description (he's human now, and, yes, he knows marble isn't exactly a crystal). I particularly like the punny 'finely sculpted physique' and 'chiseled muscles'.

QUOTE
He is a crystalline lucidian and is composed entirely of creamy-white marble crystal, flecked and streaked through with black. He has a finely sculpted physique, with polished surfaces that glitter in light, and powerfully-chiseled muscles from spending much time in the wildes. His face exudes a kindly aura, despite its sharp features, and his sapphire eyes blaze with an electric-blue inner light. His seemingly diamond hair is short and spiky, and catches the sunlight, throwing it back in an array of rainbow hues. His chest has been engraved with spidery runes of ancient druidic origin, that have been inlaid with pure gold.

I did have spikes of onyx for hair at one point, I'm not sure what happened to those.

QUOTE
He is a crystalline lucidian and the hard, smooth contours of his body are shaped from smoky quartz. Deep shadows ebb and flow slowly through his limbs and torso in an endless echo of the song of the Wyrd that drives him, leaving his angular face clear and translucent. A cold melancholia underscores his expression, and his eyes are a piercing, unclouded emerald green. His fingertips and palms are lightly scuffed from his constant use of the lyre and quill.

How do lucidians breastfeed?

Are Lucidians mammals?

I remember reading in some book in lusternia that somone wrote that its some form of Algae that acts like their blood it repairs their skin and in a non-oxygenated atmosphere they are actually a clear substance only once they get air do they turn red, and actually die.

Maybe, for the sake of less biological confusion, Lucidians could be supposed to be humanoid mammals but just with like, a crystalline exoskeleton, and more similar in bodily organs and such to humans.
Druken2008-05-02 17:58:13
I sort of work off that, Ashai.

He is a crystalline lucidian and stands at an impressive height. The illusion of supple flesh clings to his strong form, silvery and almost luminescent in color. Long, black veins crawl along his body just underneath the outermost layer of silver stone like the webs of a spider, reminiscent of the natural marbled lines in cut quartz or granite. His eyes, like the passive, graceful features of his stoic face, are almost without emotion, staring like the eyes of a statue.

It's in progress, obviously, as I've only just reincarnated, but that's my take on Lucidians. smile.gif Hope it's helpful

Nihmriel wrote a really cool book called "Experiments with Crystal" that's in the Lusternian library system. I encourage anyone with an interest in lucidians to check it out and visit Elostian's temple and look at the rose bush in the gardens.

A description for a lucidian alt I played for a short time. It's a little much, but I hope it helps.

QUOTE
She is a crystalline lucidian and resembles nothing so much as a statue of a woman fashioned from gemstones. Her body is composed of translucent living crystal as deeply, darkly red as blood. Thus, rather than throwing a shadow when light falls upon her, she instead casts a faint crimson glow behind her on the ground. Though of medium stature, she appears taller due to the delicately faceted angles and smoothly polished curves of her slender figure. Set on a glassy oval face, her eyes glimmer an intense, dazzling gold, with flecks of violet that whirl about as her moods change. Her features are sharply chiseled and inhumanly symmetrical, with high, sculpted cheekbones and a haughty, generous mouth with a pronounced upper lip. When she speaks, it is with the grave resonance of an earthen rumble; when she moves, it is with the subtle, refractive glitter of a jewel catching the light.

I always thought of Lucidians as very "Vulcan" for you trekkies. I had a Lucidian when I first EVER played the game, and he happened to fall for a Trill, and doting on her was basically the only time he showed emotion.

Thank you for all this information, I am going off to read those books you suggested. Thank you also Varrin for suggesting that reading matieral, Crystal Singer.

Lucidians I just find fascinating and I received the most beautiful vision in my head when you said as they walk they breathe music. Very beautiful image and very inspiration.

Thank you everyone for contributing to this thread so far I have been away and had not the chance to check up on it.

I love lucidians very much so I appreciate all the thoughts generated here.

I'm pretty sure there's some musical...um what do you call random lines that youhear while standing around....if you hang around the luci obervatory.

Yeah, that doen't make much sense, but I dunno how else to say it.
