Obsidikin (Ob-sid-i-kin)

Description:
The Obsidikin are a race of sentient, living obsidian crystals with a humanoid form. They stand at about 2 to 3 feet tall and have a sleek, dark, and reflective surface. Their bodies emit a subtle inner glow, giving them an otherworldly appearance. They possess glowing, gem-like eyes that can change color based on their emotions.
Lifespan:
The average Obsidikin lives about 30 years. Once the energy stored in their bodies is almost spent they make a pilgramage back to the crystal enclave of their birth to pass the remainder of their life force unto a new crystal. Once this exchange been completed the Obsidikin's body falls to the ground as lifeless stone. This sacred act begins the formation of a new individual enriched by the natural energy of the surrounding crystals. The newborn Obsidikin emerges in 3-4 days.

According to Obsidikin legends, they were created by an ancient cosmic event that infused their crystal forms with magical energy. They believe that their existence is linked to the balance of magic in the world and that they have a unique role to play in preserving that balance.
