Let's do this! I'm bringing the Solstici back with quite a few edits, so you approval guys will have to read it all over again. Yeah, I feel sorry too.
The Solstici is a race that devoutly believes any hardship, goal, and the unknown itself can be overcome by simply believing in oneself and putting all of their effort to achieving that. Unlike before, the Solstici use their Aura as their weapon.
Their Aura is directly linked to their emotions, and the size and intensity of their aura is directly equal to their spirit energy. To use their aura, the Solstici must expend a small part of their spirit energy for their aura to become a viable energy source usable for attacking for about a few weeks. Unlike magic, Aura is not restricted by elements or something as trivial as how tired someone is or their lack of energy, but they also hold no advantage over regular magic. The Solstici can do pretty fancy stuff with their aura, and even can replicate a lot of magical techniques used by other people, as well as abilities available only to the Solstici or users of Aura. However, like mentioned above, to even make use of their Aura is to chip away at their life force, their Spirit energy.
Their Aura is, again, linked to their emotions. How it does so is like any normal human being like you and me. Everyone that's alive expends an aura that is colored a certain way that is synonymous with how they live, their character, and even their current emotions. Depending on the color is the properties their aura will have whenever spirit energy is applied to it. However, everyone's aura is not dominated by purely one color, but almost every color with one being present more than the others. Although the auras themselves have no specific elements, certain ones take on their properties and how they feel (Some auras will feel hot, others cold, maybe some even shock you the moment they touch you even though they have nothing electrified about them at all.) The colors and how they affect the aura is listed below.
Purple: Comes about when the main thing anyone thinks about is life, spirituality, or anything related to it. The color is very rare. When it does so happen to appear, Aura tends to be intensified and very powerful as to reflect the intense thoughts of the person that does think about their very being and what can or will happen to it before and after death. However, there never really is enough of the purple aura to really use it as a weapon, and is considered a 'weak' color among Solstici. It's properties is completely unknown, as whenever it's used, anything it touches has absolutely no effect at all. However, it provides immense energy to other auras whenever it's applied to them.
Blue: Shows the person as a calm, relaxed, and balanced person, and make excellent unbiased teachers or public speakers. Emitters of this aura will find their aura takes on properties similar to ice and water. Blue is a good aura for a good defense and counterattacking due to the calm state of the user.
Turquoise: Very energized and people wanting to do various things all at once expend a lot of this aura. They have trouble focusing on one thing, as their aura takes on somewhat of lightning properties to amend this weakness (lightning tends to focus on one thing.), and to properly reflect the user's energetic personality.
Green: Peaceful, anyone possessing a green aura is often very restful and does not like conflict, but rather peace and quiet. The green aura doesn't really have any offensive properties, but rather focuses on healing wounds and purging the user of unwanted thoughts, mind control, and even foreign objects found in ones body. One might say a green aura's property is life itself, as those with a green aura find it very easy to grow plants and raise animals.
Yellow: The feeling of freedom and not owing anything to anyone along with joy and happiness. The properties of the yellow aura is linked to air, or wind to be more precise to reflect their will to spread their joy everywhere and to be felt by everyone.
Orange: Those that expend an orange aura are uplifting and emit a feeling of sturdiness and courage. However, it can also mean the will to control people. This aura's properties is akin to metal and earth itself to reflect their stubborn emotions, as well as to reflect the idea of being able to shape earth/metal to whatever they want to fit any ideals they need it to.
Sulphur: Like a dark mustard color of sorts, the sulphur aura is prevalent in those that use anger as their weapon and is their primary emotion. It takes fire-like properties, expressing the thought of burning everything, to destroy until they are no longer angry.
Red: Often exists in materialistic people, or those that wish to own things over anything else. This aura doesn't really have any properties, and the Solstici often look down on anyone with a red aura, citing them as weak.
Pink: Pink is the combination of both Purple and Red Auras. This is the most rare aura possible, and is almost impossible to achieve. It reflects love in all things both things of our world and spiritual, or things not of our world. There is not much known about this aura among the Solstici, as it is often unseen. However, it's properties take on something similar to a warm light, and is the most powerful of all of the auras. However, despite it's rarity, it appears in people sometimes, though it doesn't remain for long.
--- Gold: The gold aura appears only with the Pink aura, and the existence of it only comes about with certain individuals. The gold aura doesn't do anything, but signifies that those that possess it wield a certain, expert-like mastery over their aura and their thoughts.
White: The weakest aura, only appearing in those that are artificially stimulated or artificially enraged (Stim packs, drugs, or mind controlled individuals.). The Aura takes no properties at all, and actually consumes other aura colors. The only other time white appears around an individual is when they are near death, as if their spirit that held the colors has left them. Although the aura itself doesn't do anything, the Solstici benefit from increased strength or physical properties in their bodies.
Brown: A unsettling individual, the color appearing upon people that don't have faith in other people or themselves, and look down upon many things. The property to this aura is similar to a cold darkness, but unlike other auras, cannot be used for anything. It tends to blot out other colors like white, thought not as fast.
Gray: Depressive, unclear and a bad personality in general is those that hold the gray aura. Like Brown, it also holds properties like a cold darkness, but once again cannot be used. Like brown and white, Gray also tends to consume the colors of other auras. The aura can only be used in battle or anything if both gray and brown auras combined to form a single, black aura.
Black: Evil individuals, the aura comes about when Brown and Gray are combined. The cold darkness properties of an aura are very powerful, rivaling that of a pink aura if not a bit weaker. However, this power often cannot be controlled correctly or efficiently at times. The black aura is more common than it needs to be, especially in people that feel they must destroy everything in sight or only wishes to do things for their own personal gains. This aura tends to reflect that although being evil or doing bad things may get you stronger faster, in the end though, it is still beaten by those that worked harder to attain the same strength with different ideals.
Like before, Solstici still regain their spirit energy by being near celestial bodies or planets. Although instead of taking it, it regenerates by itself by just being near or in sight of the sun, moon, planets, and even people or living things. The most destructive and saddening thing one can do to a Solstici is total solitude from everything. This is what is considered 'hell' to the Solstici, unlike the popular belief among humans that pain is the worst thing.
Also like before, the Solstici do express an interest in learning more about everything, and wish to explore everything. Ever since their creation, when they learned about outer space, they worked at it continuously to be able to go up and explore it, unlike humanity or other races that only do things when they are on a payroll.
Once again, the Solstici also have been exploring various other dimensions and universes as well, and have a lot of abilities from those places to show for, often replicated through aura or sometimes their own spirit energy. Some of them go beyond the scope of whatever is usually seen in the Shattered Planes, and have odd effects in comparison to the abilities here that focus mostly on destruction.
Once again, the Solstici are simplistic in appearance, but contain strong convictions to plow through whatever it is that troubles them. They are not full of themselves, but just long to better themselves. However, this time they CANNOT take whatever appearance they want to because of their race, but they still have this ability (They just have to expend a bit of their auras to do it. What auras are used is dependent on the race they take the appearance of, as the most common colors among the race are needed to take their looks.). Their original look though, defaults to one of two appearances,
a gold, shining wolf or a luminous, moon-like wolf. It is unknown as to why their original appearances take these two forms, but their appearance seems to be akin to what celestial bodies they regenerate the most spirit energy with. Moon-like solstici, like their appearance, regenerate near moons, and Sun-like solstici regenerate near suns. They both regenerate the same amount when near other solstici, people or living beings, planets, etc.
Like before, Solstici have no home planet on the Shattered Planes. They live wherever they want or where they think they'll learn more from if they so happen to live there. Because of their ability to take on whatever appearance they want, they can live completely undetected with other races.
Finally, to summarize. (TL;DR)
The Solstici are much like before, but this time revolve around their auras and how they use them. They still look like wolves, but now have two different appearances: a sun-like wolf and a moon-like wolf. They once again can take any appearance they want, but have to use their aura to do it and they can also replicate things like magic and fancy techniques as well. They also have their abilities from other universes, dimensions, and realities that they can use in the Shattered Planes as well. They still have the desire to know and to achieve impossible things.
For those wanting a comparison, I'll kindly quote the original race request, as maybe a bit of the feeling of what I was going for with this race may have been lost with the changes.
Solstici.
A race that firmly believes that anything can be achieved by simply believing in oneself. Rather than Magic or technology, they directly use their spirit energy as a means for attacking and for various other tasks rather than combining it with magic to amplify it's power. As such, they can't use fancy abilities and do everything like magic can, but the fact that their attacks are pure spirit energy means that there is next to nothing that can counter it, if at all.
So how have the Solstici lasted this long if they use only their spirit energy? The Solstici have a special connection to celestial bodies, like stars and moons, and even space itself. An old religion of theirs states that they were created by these celestial bodies, or they were lower organisms that attained enlightenment from them. The religion is cast out by now, but many of them still hold respect for these bodies. If they're near any of these (Or more specifically, in sight.), their spirit energy will regenerate. Solstici live very, very long lives, often being classified as unaging. They can do this because these celestial bodies seem to have enormous amounts of this energy, whether it's living or not.
How do they use spirit energy? Like stated before, they can't pull the whole "fuck you it's magic" sort of thing. Think their spirit energy like the force, they can manipulate it and convert it to different energy, or entirely new substances as well. They can draw out spirit energy from celestial bodies and other inanimate objects (They get the majority of it from space.) and even other living things if they so will it (But it's considered one of the greatest evils unless they get the expressed permission of the living thing to do it. Otherwise they'll use it if they really think it justifies something, which is very rare.). They can convert this spirit energy they receive into other elements, like fire, water, wind, earth, ice, etc. Whenever they're converting energy, or whenever they're setting themselves to a certain element, an ice-like substance grows from their arms, colored differently for whatever element they're using. Meaning they can produce these elements from their spirit energy alone. In fact, they can even produce magic through this process if they wanted to.
For ever since their genesis, the Solstici had the growing feeling of exploration, to better themselves beyond what anyone could possibly imagine. It was this feeling alone that propelled them to explore other dimensions, other universes, everything. The Shattered Planes is but only one of their discoveries among their races, and they continue to explore even now. Their longing to explore and gain knowledge on everything seems to be much like how humans started out; once they learned of outer space and it's deep vastness, they wanted to expand and explore it, but felt like it was impossible. Unlike humans though, the Solstici continue their goals, expand on them, and as an end result, grow even further beyond what they were before they did that. Because of this, the Solstici have other strange abilities that can go beyond the scope of what is usually seen in the Shattered Planes, but using these abilities outside of their home realm seems to take more out of them than usual.
The Solstici are simplistic in appearance, but contain strong convictions to plow through whatever it is that troubles them. They are not full of themselves, but just long to better themselves. They can take on any appearance they wish to, but their real look actually defaults to wolf-like creatures that look as if made of ice, which also changes color depending on whatever element they use.
And finally, Solstici have no home planet on the Shattered Planes. They one day just, well, came out of nowhere in peace. Many of them take sides in wars to learn more about those around them, others stay out of conflicts to learn from the outside, and often many just don't care about the people but the shattered planes itself, and want to explore it instead. However, if something stands in their way, if something tells them that they can't do something because they're not strong enough or just aren't smart enough; they'll push forth and achieve whatever it is you said that they couldn't do. Quite a few of them seem to have decided to take up residence on planets like False Heaven and other interesting worlds. Some have even started living on Novier and Nil, completely undetected due to their ability to take on whatever appearance they want.
And for those that still can't piece together what I'm saying, I'll put this in layman's terms. Everything has spirit energy; moons, stars, and space itself has a crapload of it. The Solstici use spirit energy itself for their abilities, and they draw this spirit energy from the aforementioned objects, and even living things. They can convert this spirit energy to other elements, even magic itself. They've explored countless other universes, dimensions, and have a lot to show for it. They are just now exploring the Shattered Planes. They look like wolves but can take on any appearance, and their only desire is to grow and be a better person, beyond what they were before they do an ordeal. Each and every one of them doesn't want to be famous or any of that, but just want to know that they're living their lives to the fullest.
Feel free to lul at it lololololol
