Cera Omnis Mundi

Cera Omnis Mundi, are small wax figures. A strange engine that can neither be turned off or stopped has been creating these small creatures for what can only be imagined as an experiment of some calibre.

"Every time it rains, I hear thousands of broken hearts pitter against the ground" Nebula Precursor 

Cera are humanoid candles, slowly melting from their own flames they wander the world searching for their second half. Being a living candle, the Cera must be careful during wet weather or around water, for if their flames go out so too does their heart. The easiest way to put down a Cera would be to extinguish its flame.
