Superion

Superions are the sole survivors of a lost civilization that destroyed itself experimenting with volatile magics. Stored within magical gems, infant superions are raised by those who find and free them. Though millennia have passed since their homeland’s destruction, superion infants are being discovered to this day. As adults, superions gain power from the sun, which gives them increased strength and the ability to fly. Superions hide their true identities by subtly refracting light around their faces.
