Sunbathed

The Sunbathed are a radiant race of humans shaped by the relentless heat of the world’s hottest regions. Their smooth, bronze skin gleams like polished metal beneath the sun, a living adaptation that not only withstands scorching climates but thrives in them. This unique skin absorbs sunlight and converts it into energy, accelerating the body’s natural healing and fortifying the immune system against disease. Where other races wilt under the desert sun, the Sunbathed grow stronger, their vitality tied to the very light that burns others. Their bodies are completely devoid of hair—an evolutionary trade-off that enhances their heat resistance while leaving them vulnerable to cold environments. To survive in cooler climates, they often rely on layered clothing or radiant stones that mimic the warmth of the sun.

Yet their brilliance is both blessing and curse. The same lustrous sheen that empowers them also betrays them, for their reflective skin catches even the faintest glimmer of light. Whether beneath the sun’s blaze or the moon’s silver glow, the Sunbathed can rarely move unseen. This has shaped their culture into one that values openness and pride rather than secrecy—they walk boldly and stand visibly, embodying the honesty of light itself. Among the Sisterworlds, they are admired as healers, warriors, and living symbols of endurance, their presence marked always by the shimmer of sunlight that follows wherever they go.

The intensity of the shine of a Sunbathed's Solar Skin varies. Some are very subtle, giving an oily look to the skin, while others look like they are made of Bronze.
