Profile
Luminites are colored light yellow with tan stripes. Their heads, backs, and ankles have orange-tinted feathers, and their eyes are pale purple. Their skin also emits a faint golden light.

Luminites are named after things associated with light. In Japanese, their names are wordplays of various types of beans and other cultivated plants.

History
Several million years ago, as a war across the Baklava solar system neared its end, the people from each planet sang a song and focused their planets' light at one central point. This light formed Nova the light planet, and the Queen of Light spawned the luminites while stowing Nova away in the sun.

Trivia
