Nyctopods

Nyctopods are an alien species living with humans on Earth. They have more supernatural features than humans but also resemble their sibling-like race.

Appearance
All nyctopods have pointed ears, with the color depending on their gender. Their blood is usually purple. Half-human nyctopods have pink blood.

Female nyctopods, like Min, usually have cyan ears. Their glow is cyan.

Male nyctopods, like Max, have red ears. Their glow is red.

Non-binary nyctopods, like Aries, have purple ears. Their glow is purple.

All nyctopods look like normal humans if these features were removed.

Differences from humans
Full blooded nyctopods don’t have hearts. Half humans do but it’s at the bottom of their rib cage instead.

Their emotions are a way of showing who is a nyctopod and who isn’t, as their anger can activate Nyctophobia and causes them to glow in their gender’s color.

Nyctopods can go through an awakening, which can cause problems for other species living on Earth due to their destructive nature. This usually occurs around the human age of 11-14.

Nyctopods can be immortal by choice. They never have an age. Half human entities are exceptions, as Min and Max have ages due to being half human.

Nyctopods have an echo in their voice but this can be controlled at a young age. This is one of the first things nyctopod children learn.

The nyctopod language is the ROT13 code. This is how they activate Nyctophobia.

Trivia
Nyctopods can speak human languages, as Daniel and Solo can speak in Vietnamese.

Nyctopods are the species that are friendly with other species (humans, demons, etc.)

It would be strange that some children have a different last name than their parents. In Min and Max’s case, their last name is from their human dad. The reason behind Jason’s last name being different than his sisters is unclear.

It’s uncommon to see a non-binary nyctopod. The only known non-binary nyctopod is Aeron’s sibling, Aries.

They used to live on Nyctopia but half of them relocated to Earth due to planetory genocide.
