Traits

Your xyn has the Suneater Curse.

The Suneater’s Curse is a strange variant of corruption that’s extremely rare to come across. This curse can affect any xyn. It causes the xyn to grow 20-50% bigger, causes large star-shaped patches to appear on the body, their colour becomes a shade of black and their pupils shrink. They become manic, seeking sunlight at any cost. Their regular breath or magic is replaced by a fiery plasma breath that tears open holes in dimensions. These tears don’t close themselves so knight xyns often have to scramble to repair these holes. Suneater xyns almost always tear holes into other dimensions seeking sunlight. They use their bigger body to find the sunniest place possible and absorb massive amounts of energy. They’re known to cause chaos in other dimensions, destroying things, inflicting hysteria, etc. Sunlight is extra invigorating to xyns so the huge amounts of energy and magic often make them feel manic and grandiose. 

When Suneaters eventually run out of energy they revert to their original xyn form extremely tired, disoriented and run-down. Suneater xyns have at least one star-shaped patch and dark starlike markings in their normal form. They have little to no memory of what happened when transformed so they often don’t know where they are and have little energy to get back. Suneater xyns usually need to be rescued by special dimensional rescue teams that follow their tears through spacetime. 

The Suneater’s Curse has no known cure. Large amounts of sunlight or other sun-related celestial events are known to trigger the transformation. Xyns with Suneater curse often stay inside and avoid sunlight during Sunrise Celebration and other similar events like solar eclipses. 

Some consider being moonstricken a curse and others consider it a blessing. It’s a rare affliction that can affect any xyn. It causes a xyn to gain “waning markings”. These are dark markings that change with the phase of the moons. During full moons, there are no waning markings and the xyn’s magic is supercharged. During new moons, they are completely overtaken by the markings and their magic is extremely weak. The markings shift through the phases - the xyn is more powerful the less markings are active. 

Moonstricken xyns can use “moongaze” to look through any moon in the universe. This makes their eyes look like the surface of a moon and glow. Their pupils always turn light. Xyns need to make sure they’re in a safe place and position to use this trait since they will no longer be aware of their surroundings. Using moongaze requires a great deal of energy and often leaves xyns drained and tired afterwards. 

Being moonstricken has no known cure. Xyns learn to adapt and pay attention to the phases of the moon to take advantage of being supercharged and to take it easy during new moons.
