Description: Elemental humanoids from the Gas Giant Pyros. Usually look like nude humans if you overlook elemental hair and tattoo-like markings on the entire body. Both markings and hair are usually fire but can vary based on the Patron/Matron Deity.
Abilities: As an elemental race, Archons can manipulate and create their element in most environments to create weapons and armor as well as provide buffs to speed, strength and natural healing ability that would require steroids for a non elemental to copy. Most Archons also hover about 6 inches off the ground or nearest surface.
Race Persona: Archons generally come off as friendly with a fiery temper though the temper may be a reflection of their element. Most who encounter Archons only ever see the mercantile type with a slight religious militarism that run the tourism industry on the many moons of Pyros.
Social Customs: Highly religious in most cases and militaristic as well the usual greeting would translate as "Still Alive." in the sense of "So, you're still alive.". The merchant greeting is closer to "Pockets overflowing?" while drifters will be more casual and pick up greetings from the other races they encounter.
Language: Much like the Paragons they worship, the written language resembles Morse code while the spoken language sounds Asian
Hierarchy: A combination of military and religious, outsiders are considered on the same level as the homeless and the servants while the high priests are the ruling class secondary only to the Gods.
Tech and science: Science is tribalistic at best while tech is advanced enough for antimatter based weapons and propulsion. Armor and shield tech is diamond based and can block most non antimatter based weapons. Sensor tech is mostly thermal with other sensor types reaching only a few miles. Communications tech is good enough for interstellar travel with only a few relays needed for more distant planetary systems.
Transportation: Most ships are roughly spearhead shaped with freighters being more boxy in appearance. All ships built by Archons use antimatter engines and diamond reinforced tritanium hulls along with a full sensor array and comm suite. Armament varies from simple laser cannons to antimatter railguns and missiles.
Spiritual Beliefs: All Archons worship the elemental Paragons as the creators and ultimate leaders of the planet Pyros and its moons.
