-The ''chemoautotrophic'' {{Plain|[http://pre04.deviantart.net/c4f2/th/pre/f/2016/130/4/e/4ed57401218642ed8698bb5d3766b01f-da204ai.png Crystaliens]}} are an ethereal, almost angelic species. Standing approximately two meters high, they are primarily confined to the watery depths of the subglacial oceans of Titania, and are said to resemble glowing angelic creatures of the night.
+'''{Loading Screen}'''
-===Anatomy and physiology===
+'''{Cinematic}'''
-Physically resembling the ''anthropoi''—apart from being thinner—their primary characteristics is a pair of vast, six meters long membranous wings connected to their arms, ending at the wrist. Smaller secondary and tertiary pelvic fins aid in maneuvering. They lack anal fins. Possessing a two meter long "tail"—actually their digitigrade hind limbs pressed close together—ending in twin vertically forked fins they can move swiftly when desired. While these "two tailed" fins are mistaken for feet they actually hidden at the base with four clawed and webbed toes. Instead of hair they have a long cartilage "wing" dividing into forked membranous fins; this connects to their dorsal fin heterocercally. Extending from this connection is a single dorsal fin that divides in two when it reaches their pelvis. Their arms are humanoid and end in four, webbed fingers. These are extended when in motion.
-Crystalian blood is {{Plain|[http://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/28276/other-blood-colors yellowish-orange]}} in color, and they "breathe" hydrogen. This process is inefficient compared to oxygen-breathers. Their bioluminescent skin is studded in mottled light bluish-green patterns and can change colors. In addition to camouflage or luring in prey, this bioluminescence is used for communication. It is soft to the touch, almost like statin, with small electrical impulses jumping at contact. Their humanoid faces, while smooth and nearly featureless, possess two pairs of eyes, a mouth, and a protuberance which resembles a nose. Gills are located about the neck. The eyes are colored either cyan, magenta, yellow, green, purple, or related shades thereof.
+''Fade in to a view of the twin Martian moons, [[Phobos]] and Deimos, and the gaping hole left by [[Mars]]'s absence. Piloting their ship, the Guardian arrives within the local orbit of Deimos.''
-Crystaliens possess little sexual dimorphism and generally resemble ''anthropoi'' females with minor differences; "sex" is instead recognized as a social function, with three different "female" genders recorded and one "male". Monogamy is unknown, likely because of the disparate ratio between the different types. However there is a definitely sexual aspect to their reproductive cycle—any of the three female types can be fertilized by the male, and once this is accomplished, she goes and lays nearly microscopic eggs near or within a crevice, and then abandons them once done. This kind of fertilization may account for the disparate eye color and sizes. Crystaliens live for typically four hundred years because of their slow metabolisms.
+:'''Commander [[Zavala]]''': The discovery of these mysterious beings we now call the "[[Forum:Shadowkeeper|Shadowkeeper]]s" and their connection to the Darkness is a breakthrough. [[Eris Morn]] is working with [[Ikora Rey]] and [[Osiris]] to form a plan to address this, and I believe they will see this through. In the meantime, the Hidden and [[Variks, the Loyal|Variks]] are investigating the activities of the Cabal. The loss of their planet, [[Mars]] to the [[Forum:The Black Fleet|Black Fleet]] is worrisome. More intelligence is required.
+:'''[[The Ghost|Ghost]]''': Zavala, what exactly does this have to do with what's happened on [[Earth]]?
+:'''Zavala''': We don't know much, but I can tell you that your encounter with [[Forum:Eobard Thawne|Eobard Thawne]] was just the beginning of what's about to be a major battle. Rendezvous with the [[Elisabeth Bray|Stranger]] and find out what's going on, Guardian. We cannot allow this threat to compromise our safety and spread any further.

-Uniquely, the Crystaliens communicate not only through color-coded patterns but telepathically. They possess a organ in their frontal temporal lobes which allows them to somehow communicate via the mind. This is poorly understood. Touching one's skin would establish contact yet they can communicate effortlessly with individuals they have never seen before.
+''The camera fades in and pans down to the Aerodrome, where the Guardian previously escaped. The area is completely silent, and now overrun with Shadowkeepers. Dead Guardians blanket the field. A perspective view shows the members and followers of The Shadowkeepers—resurrected villains from the past—all gathering around the portal. Large black flames hove into view as [[Forum:The White Angel|The White Angel]] prepares for her partner's return. [[Forum:The Black Swordsman|The Black Swordsman]] walks over to his allies, surveying the scene. All of them kneel to the floor in reverence. ''

-===Culture===
+''The Swordsman sneers down at the newly Shadowkeeper life forms. A Lord Shadowkeeper demonstrates his ability by splitting into two copies of himself, still kneeling. A Cherubic Shadowkeeper lowers her head.''
-Despite living underwater and having no access to fire—and thus, technology—the Crystaliens possess a marvelous culture. In addition to communicating via the colors of their skin, Crystaliens have a musical language of haunting beauty. Each song is filled with complex, melodious symphonies which communicate every emotion possible to one another. Due to their telepathy, they have a richly preserved culture, allowing for an individual's achievements to live on enshrined in racial memory.
-Courtship is a very involved process for the Crystalien species. The male would approach a certain "female" with a mixture of singing and fluidic dancing. The female could either respond favorably or not. If the latter, the male moves on to another. If the former, she answers in likewise manner, dancing in intricate patterns while singing in harmony, unison, or dissonance. These courtship rituals can last for many months of the Titanian year, as time is reckoned, and are largely dependent on the participants' skill in wooing the other.
+:'''[[Forum:The Black Swordsman|The Black Swordsman]]''': Finally... at long last... After 7 centuries, I am finally free.
+:'''[[Forum:Malcolm Merlyn|Malcolm Merlyn]]''': We've been waiting a long time for your return, Kirito, but I think you'll be surprised to find out that [[Forum:Eobard Thawne|Eobard]] and [[Forum:Morgana le Fay|Morgana]] had already lost their lives in the process.
+:'''Kirito''': Not quite, Malcolm. With technology like this, anything is possible.
-While lacking fire, this did not prevent them from building an elaborate network of Hives and nests around strategic hydrothermal vents. Similar to insects, the Crystaliens meld together rock and a waxlike substance they secrete to form bubble-like buildings with multiple chambers branching outward. Entire reefs which form around vents often become part of these interconnected buildings, blurring the difference between artificial and natural. Entrances are usually located in the top, windows are unknown, with certain "plants" and animals cultivated as light sources.
+''Malcolm Merlyn smirks as Eobard and Morgana approach near Kirito, looking over as their apparent corpses reveal themselves to be, in fact, the dead bodies of Lightbearers.''
-{{expand-section}}
+:'''Eobard Thawne''': I see you've pulled out a trick on our enemies, Kirito.
+:'''Morgana le Fay''': If I didn't know any better, I'd say that you've managed to have the Guardians do our work for us.
-===Governmental structure===
+''Kirito smirks as he walks towards the audience.''
-{{expand-section}}
-===Religion===
+:'''Kirito''': The Guardians... they think that they can kill us so easily and destroy everything we've built, but eventually, they'll come to understand that the Darkness can't be destroyed.
-{{expand-section}}
+:'''[[Forum:Sasuke Uchiha|Sasuke Uchiha]]''': And how do you know that?
+:'''Kirito''': The Darkness showed me the truth about how the universe had fallen prey to the corrupt and the greedy with selfish needs ever since the Traveler arrived... and about how we can rewrite not only reality, but also history... all so that we can save our people and usher in a new era. A better [[Forum:Aincrad|world]].
