Refugees on the [[Prime Material]] after their home plane was devoured by the dread [[Tzet-Askhari]], the ch'taren are alien, hybrid spirit-beings that champion the ideologies of the Light.

	When the ~~ch’taren~~ arrived on the Prime Material, they were alien spirit-beings with no corporeal body.

Being slightly out of phase even now, all ch'taren are partially translucent and may pass through some physical barriers.

			==Culture==
			As a species, ch'taren are noted not only for their skill at wielding magic, but also their free-spirited nature and good intentions, though this does not make them easy to get along with. Unlike species native to the plane, ch'taren are wholly unable to comprehend temptation or lures to evil. While intellectually understanding that this occurs, they will never feel what drives a heart in such directions. This makes them the staunchest of allies when battling the forces of darkness, but ill-suited to persuade one who might yet be turned.

	~~==== Example Descriptions ====~~		Owing to their unyieldingly good natures and broad rejection of authority, ch'taren have struggled to integrate into Avendaran society ever since they were summoned to this plane during the War of Night. Among their own kind, they tend to reject structures of law entirely, living instead as stateless anarchists. In their havens, they live without much concern for material goods, private property, or hierarchy, guided instead by their innate sense of benevolence towards others. On those rare occasions they do follow a leader, they do so of their own will, and only for as long as they find that leader personally compelling.

	~~Below~~ are ~~sample descriptions~~ from ~~NPCs~~ and ~~past player characters~~. ~~These descriptions are for reference only; you should~~ not ~~use them for your characters~~.		Though they are still hailed as saviours in many of Avendar's city-states, these traits make most ch'taren ill-suited to live among those who feel harmony comes from people’s actions and not the ills in their hearts. Likewise, one who might or might not care about the actions of their neighbour is often unsettled by the absolute judgement of the ch'taren, or the ch'taren's flippant attitude toward law and order.

	~~''Lilihara the Merciless''~~		==Religion==

	A distinctly serene air permeates this girl, a vivid contrast with the sunset orange of her carefully-styled hair. Threaded through a line of hoops on each ear, a thin chain dangles a small jade stone just above her shoulders. Bright green eyes add a sharp point of focus to her translucent gold face.

	Ch’taren must be played as having pure and good natures, and thus require some extra consideration when roleplaying. They are more likely to be attacked by some NPCs and PCs simply because of their race than most characters are. Likewise, they are more likely to be trusted by strangers and called upon for aid.

Refugees on the Prime Material after their home plane was devoured by the dread Tzet-Askhari, the ch’taren are paragons of goodness that are here to stay.

===Appearance===
When the ch’taren arrived on the Prime Material, they were alien spirit-beings with no corporeal body. In order to remain on the Prime Material and survive as a species after the War of Night they underwent a permanent transformation that diminished their spiritual powers in exchange for granting them mostly-physical bodies.

Appearing as tall, slender humanoids with golden skin of every shade, the ch’taren are noted for their wildly mutable alien beauty; many possess unusual proportions, variable numbers of jewel-toned eyes, hair that seems to defy gravity, unusual numbers of fingers or joints, or any number of other minor aesthetic variations. Being slightly out of phase even now, all ch’taren are partially translucent and may pass through some physical barriers.

==== Example Descriptions ====

Below are sample descriptions from NPCs and past player characters. These descriptions are for reference only; you should not use them for your characters.

Threaded through a line of hoops on each ear, a thin chain dangles a small jade stone just above her shoulders. Bright green eyes add a sharp point of focus to her translucent gold face.
