The Broken Stone
A people of deep spirituality and shamanism, the Magnin are unique among the galaxy because they are, by the biological definition, not alive. Magnin, instead of being born, are constructed by other Magnin. They have a deep reverence for nature and the natural world as a whole. A calm and peaceful race, Magnin are a wise and stalwart people, known for their gentle nature and they propensity to talk before resorting to violence. They are well known for their love of music and forming deep, lasting bonds with many different people. Though their race is currently in a deep decline, those still loyal to the Magnin crown maintain the strength of spirit of the Magnin people.
Appearance
The Magnin people have some of the most varied appearance of any race in the galaxy as their features are limited only by the patience and imagination of the builder. Some Magnin will spend years sculpting their progeny to look like a marble statue while others are content to slap together some stones with the roughest features before inserting the Heartstone that gives them life. Most often, their eyes are constructed out of precious gemstones. Other times their eyes are simple glass orbs. Really, anything can be used to construct a Magnin so long as it is a natural material of dirt, stone, or similar mineral. Most Magnin opt for granite, volcanic stone, or sandstone. Their colors can range from grey, black, white, or brown. As a byproduct of the Heartstone, all Magnin have lines coursing through their body that resemble magma but give off no heat. These magma is often red like the Heartstone but can range from purple, blue, or even green depending on the purity or condition of the Heartstone.
Personality
As stated before, Magnin are a deeply spiritual people with roots deep in shamanistic arts. To them, the earth is their mother and father and they will one day return to it. They are deeply philosophical as well, known to ponder deep concepts for days at a time, either alone or surrounded by friends and loved ones. They are lovers of art and music but are also builders and crafters. Nothing brings a Magnin more joy than building something or enjoying a piece of art. They are trusting but they are not naïve. It is not uncommon for a Magnin to deeply ponder the actions or words of others before acting upon them but they always err on the side of a person wanting to do good. Despite their often huge and imposing statue, Magnin are also very gentle and empathetic, willing to share in the pain of others if it means that person can grow from it.
Pathers
Magnin Pathers are highly sought after by Pather teams for their wisdom, companionship, and company. They are also sought after if a mission is to take them to a planet or asteroid for Magnin have a knack of being able to know things about these places that others may not even think about. Despite this, Magnin pathers are rare as they will consider an offer for days before accepting and not all teams can wait. If a team really desires a Magnin to join them, they will be patient and wait. When they do become Pathers, Magnin most often become Avengers, Juggernaughts, or Crusaders and, rarely, Spiritualists.
