Lunarikos
Lunarikos are an ancient race of creatures that have relations to faes, and possibly Veelas. They look like humans, but are on no accounts human. Lunarikos are so rare nowadays that they are believed to be extinct. It might be true, however, they are still some half-lunarikos walking this earth.
Lunarikos are usually quite tall and slender, and have very pale skin, and though coloring varies, most of them are very light. Hence their name: Moon Children. However, their features are not the only thing that attracts the name. They have a need to stay in moonlight at least twice a week, and they lose all powers during moonless nights.
As Lunarikos are related to faes, they share a common weakness and abhorrence towards iron. Silver, on the other hand, seems to heal all their injuries and give them comfort. This applies to half-lunarikos as well. Both halves and full-blooded lunarikos have wings, and are usually reflect their souls and auras. Their wings can support them in flight, though it will take quite a few years.
Lunarikos have exceptional powers, like heightened senses, immunity to poison and certain spells and potions imperio, veritaserum. Their restoration speed is also higher, hence they are hard to kill.
Their biggest weakness is their mate. Lunarikos mate for life, and when their mate dies, they die along too. If lunarikos are rejected by their mates, they will also die, as their heart cannot take the blow of rejection. Normally, lunarikos start to find their mates at an age of 8, which is around 16, in human years. Their sense of time is slower then humans, thus they live longer lives. When they bond with their destined mate, the gift of longevity is passed on to their mate.
Their mate can be either gender, and can be human or non-human though they are usually humanoid as long as the pair can bring out the best in each other, and have the potential for greatness. The first stage of the bond is the marking, in which a kiss is shared. They will then gain certain abilities, shared and personal. Shared abilities include telepathy between them, and they can usually sense each other, be it their locations, feelings, or health. Personal abilities varies with different lunarikos and their mates. The second stage is non-physical, as they start having dreams of each other to strengthen the bonds. It would probably last a month, and during this time, they usually have to stay within contact with each other as too much distance between them would cause great pain, especially if one of them had a terrible past. The last stage would be the consummation of the bond. The gift of longevity is then given to the mate, if said mate does not possess this gift. Lunarikos are very protective and quite possessive of their mates. They are usually dominant in the physical sense, but, in reality, their mates hold complete power over them. Even the slightest rejection from their mates can hurt a Lunariko.

A/N: Well, hope that was useful... or at least given you a basic idea of Lunarikos. Chapter one will up pretty soon as soon as I finish typing it. Handwritten work is much more safer for me, since I have a faulty computer. Thanks for all the reviews! Muackx
