From publisher blurb:
Six Lineages
Asterianti. While drifting along in the void of space, bits of stellar debris or planetoids occasionally meet each other in impact, splintering into countless fractal pieces. Upon collision, The Quantiscience may impart a sliver of its sentience into one of the falling fragments. This elevated remnant awakens once on the surface as an Asterianti.
Consunathi. Much like the incomprehensible singularities from which they manifest, much is unknown about Cosnunathis. The current leading theory is that when a Black Hole sucks in "enough" material (whatever that means), or the "right kind" of unknown material, the Quantiscience collapses the once-mighty rift. In its place, a Cosnunathi comes to be.
Magnetetanthi. In the wake of a star's degeneration and resurgence as a neutron star, the Quantiscience can conjure a Magnetetanthi from the stellar remnants. Creatures formed of metamorphic energies, distantly aware of what they once were and now are, Magnetetanthi are mercurial and unpredictable personalities, constantly shifting between conflicting inner states.
Nebenulati. When a star finally burns through and sheds away its outer layers, becoming a mystifying cloud of radiated gas, the Quintiscience can mold these disparate elements into a Nebenulati. Nebenulati have passed through the valley of a stellar death and become suffused with raw aspects of the cosmos. They no longer see themselves, or anyone else, as a singular entity but rather as a reflection of the celestial infinite, intrinsically interconnected.
Rosgiganti. Rosgiganti are unique in that the Quantiscience brings them to life by imbuing form and thought into the throes of a dying star undergoing one of its subultimate transformations. Born from finality and cosmic dissolution, Rosgiganti are far more aware and observant of the transience of the spirit, the cycle of endings and beginnings, and the metaphysical connection all mortals share with the heavens.
Ivynconsuani. It is theorized that at the exact moment a Cosnunathi coalesces from the remnants of a Black Hole somewhere out in the cosmos, a Ivynconsuani forms at the wormhole's exit. This poses many questions to scholars about the nature of Xanthi metaphysiology and The Quantiscience: are they two "twin" separate individuals? Are they of a single soul divided amongst two bodies? Or is it all mere coincidence?
