Overview

Celestials are the humans who traveled with the band of Thuwadians to the galaxy wormhole they found in modern-day Dragonoa. Once staunch allies, they have descended into a hated rivalry with the Thuwadians. In order to protect themselves from the brutish Thuwadians, they developed their own brand of martial arts, much akin to Judo, that utilized the opponents’ momentum against them. As the Thuwadians developed projectile weapons, the Celestials were nearly wiped out before one of two of their saviours, Sima Guang, learned how to use mental energy. He and his disciples drove back an entire legion of Thuwadians with their mind alone, then took the Thuwadian castle as their own. They still live there to this day.

They possess fully-functional wings and are lithe. They keep the Thuwadians at bay not with raw strength but with a combination of grace and mental prowess, the likes of which are rarely seen on Disparatus or Earth. Natural flight helps, too.


Appearance

As humans are ever varied, as are Celestials, though Celestials tend to be taller and lighter. The only difference is that their skin is a much fairer colour, though their hair can be any shade of natural colours, with brown being the most common. The main difference between the two races is that Celestials have wings, with two primary colours: white and black, along with grey. These colours, as most humans would believe mistakenly, do not represent their alignments.


Noteworthy Celestials

  • Sima Guang: One of two Celestials who has reached Master Teacher status. He and his pupils saved the entire Celestial race by crushing the Thuwadians with never-before-seen strategy and techniques. His battle prowess and keen mind inspired one half of the Celestials’ philosophical teachings.
  • Jinyong: The second Celestial who has reached Master Teacher status. He, too, saved the Celestial race before Sima Guang. Facing the largest Thuwadian force they have ever faced before, Jinyong locked himself in his temple for a week, praying to the Celestial god. At seven days exactly, he opened the door to his room and allowed each man, woman, and child to receive wings after they proclaimed their love and obedience for their god. In return for this, he and his family were willingly killed by the Thuwadians. His obedience and piety inspired the second half of the Celestials’ philosophical teachings.
