Yankh

The Yankh are far travelers from beyond the influence of the Nodes, traders, and xenophiles. They tend to not settle in one area for too long for fear of fading. They would much rather live out their days sailing the Void and singing tales of their travels. With a shorter than average life span (maturity at 13, and not living much longer than 60) they have to meet as many people and do as many things before they fade. Fading to the Yankh is a beautiful part of life, to them, life doesn't end at the fade for it's only a new beginning. They believe in reincarnation, that mortal life is only one part of this wonderful journey. Before a Yankh fades they shine brighter than ever before, filled with vigor and spirit, a testament to their star-like demeanor. Most but not all Yankh have a humanoid upper-body and a squid-like lower body and their skin color typically matches their personality.       Starborn: Being born of the cosmos you need not walk, you can instead float up to 5 ft off a surface as a part of your normal movement though you may choose to walk at 25ft.   Through the Looking Glass: You can telepathically communicate with other creatures in a 30ft radius centered on you. This ability goes through most walls and materials but may be blocked by magic.   Cosmic Xenophile: It is tradition for young yankh to live amongst other peoples for a few years after maturity. +1 other language +1 skill
