	The '''Aeternapes''', better known as '''Lux Monkeys''', are a non-sapient species of apes found all across [[Cosmoria]]. This is largely due to their highly nomadic nature, as the species migrates to different worlds seemingly at random. However, instead of being intentionally introduced to said worlds or smuggling themselves aboard ships, the Aeternapes travel by shifting through the [[Lux Aeterna]] itself.

	Rarely, an Aeternape will be born with a shimmering coat of silver fur. It is theorized that they are born when a female Aeternape enters its frenzied state while pregnant, but this has not been confirmed. They are larger and more aggressive than regular Aeternapes, easily becoming the ~~alphas~~ of their troop. When they become enraged, their fur turns to a bright golden color, letting loose powerful arcs of Aeternal Energy. They are even able to activate their teleportation abilities at will, jumping short distances to close the gap between them and their prey.

	The Aeternapes are actually an ~~evolutionary offshoot~~ of [[Humans]]. The ~~Humans~~ ~~that would become~~ the Aeternapes were ~~those~~ who ~~chose to live~~ on the [[Hedonist Worlds]], the paradises for mortal beings created by [[Sachitel]]. They enjoyed peaceful lives on these worlds, all their troubles seemingly gone as they lived under the watchful eye of the Second Angel. However, as time went on, ~~they~~ ~~began~~ ~~to lose much of~~ their ~~mental acuity~~, their millennia of living in ~~ignorant~~ ~~bliss~~ ~~beginning~~ ~~to show~~ its effects. They grew shorter, their bodies being covered in thick fur as their minds continued to deteriorate. Eventually, those on the Hedonist Worlds became little more than animals, left on their Hedonist Worlds by their own mistakes. But despite their loss of both their sapience and the ability to pilot spacecraft, they were still able to escape into wider [[Cosmoria]].		The Aeternapes are actually a cousin of [[Humans]]. The ancestors of the Aeternapes were creatures who lived on the [[Hedonist Worlds]], the paradises for mortal beings created by [[Sachitel]]. They enjoyed peaceful lives on these worlds, all their troubles seemingly gone as they lived under the watchful eye of the Second Angel. However, as time went on, the environment changed their biology, their millennia of living in these thaumically-active environments showed its effects.

	During their long period of evolution, their brains began to change in a strange way. Thanks to their years of consuming thaumically-sensitive foodstuffs found on the Hedonist Worlds, those Humans grew the semi-crystalline thaumic sensor. This provided them with not only the ability to seek out sources of Aeternal Energy, but to establish a short-lived connection with the Lux Aeterna should enough of them convene. Sensing a possible threat, the [[Cherubic Sentry\|Cherubic Sentries]] stationed on these Hedonist Worlds sought to exterminate Humans on the Hedonist Worlds before they could spread out. However, the Humans were long gone by the time the Sentries arrived, vanishing into the unforgiving currents of the Lux Aeterna.

	The unintelligent humans would not be seen again for a very long time, thousands of years going by before being seen again. They would be encountered around ~~52,789~~ CE by explorers from [[Sedrua]] as they were settling a forested world they found suitable for colonization. ~~Those~~ ~~unintelligent~~ ~~Humans were~~ largely ignored by the Sedruans at first, being documented as just another new species for their databanks. They would soon come to realize their true nature when a group of Sedruan biologists studying a troop witnessed one of their teleporting events. When the troop rematerialized ~~back into the material plane~~, they found themselves right in the middle of a Sedruan city, and right in front of a pair of traveling Magi at that. Upon sensing the large amount of Aeternal Energy that the pair gave off, the entire troop entered their frenzied state, lunging at the surprised Magi. The pair was quickly torn apart, with the troop being killed by law enforcement shortly afterwards.

	While initially believed to be little more than a one-off incident, encounters happening across Sedruan worlds, with some even being seen as far away as [[Florathel]]. The Sedruan government quickly scrambled their science teams, capturing many specimens to see just what made these creatures tick. Despite their best containment efforts, they weren’t able to stop the troops they captured from teleporting away. It was even worse for the science teams that had Magi in their ranks, as they had to deal with dozens of the creatures constantly bashing on the walls of their cells. Upon learning of their ability to travel through the Lux Aeterna whenever they teleported, the species was renamed as the Aeternapes.

	As the scientists slowly increased their understanding of the creatures, the Sedruan government proceeded to issue a shoot-on-sight order for any Aeternapes found, offering substantial payments for each one killed. This attracted many hunters eager for a payday, but the species’ teleportation powers quickly proved to be an issue for any hunting parties tracking them. Eventually, Sedruan scientists devised a method of tracking the Aeternapes by introducing ~~foods~~ ~~filled~~ ~~with~~ ~~nanobots~~ ~~that would enter the bloodstreams of the Aeternapes upon being eaten, activating after a certain time.~~		As the scientists slowly increased their understanding of the creatures, the Sedruan government proceeded to issue a shoot-on-sight order for any Aeternapes found, offering substantial payments for each one killed.

	With their new tracking methods, the hunters were easily able to trick the Aeterapes into vanishing before striking while the troop was weak. Without the energy to fight back, the Aeternapes were slaughtered en masse, their numbers getting so low that they were driven into near-extinction. The survivors, those lucky few that did not eat the nanobot-spiked foods, went into hiding.

Their bodies are covered in dark fur, though it becomes brightly-colored as they become charged with [~~https://100th-millennium.fandom.com/wiki/Lux_Aeterna~~#~~Aeternal_Energy~~ Aeternal Energy]. They possess blunted claws on their toes and fingertips, which helps them with climbing on many different surfaces. Their upper and lower canine teeth protrude slightly out of their mouths, with males having bigger teeth than females. They have three eyes, with their central eye seemingly glazed over. However, they are capable of seeing from this eye, except that the only thing that this eye sees is sources of Aeternal Energy, particularly the energy that [[Magi]] give off.

	No one in Cosmoria is sure where the Aeternapes even came from. Some say that they evolved naturally, gaining their teleportation powers in response to threats in their environment. Others claim that the species was artificially created or, in some circles, taken from their original homeworld and experimented on. However, the truth is far more ancient than what the peoples of today think.		No one in Cosmoria is sure where the Aeternapes even came from.

	The Aeternapes are actually an evolutionary offshoot of ~~the [[Dökkálfar]], the ancient species created by [[Zaphenim]] that would later evolve into other races such as humans, [[Vexlores]], and~~ [[~~Ekrosians~~]]. The ~~Dökkálfar~~ that would become the Aeternapes were those who chose to live on the [[Hedonist Worlds]], the paradises for mortal beings created by [[Sachitel]]. ~~The Dökkálfar~~ enjoyed peaceful lives on these worlds, all their troubles seemingly gone as they lived under the watchful eye of the Second Angel. However, as time went on, ~~the Dökkálfar~~ began to lose much of their mental acuity, their millennia of living in ignorant bliss beginning to show its effects. They grew shorter, their bodies being covered in thick fur as their minds continued to deteriorate. Eventually, the ~~Dökkálfar~~ became little more than animals, left on their Hedonist Worlds by their own mistakes. But despite their loss of sapience and the ability to pilot spacecraft, ~~the devolved Dökkálfar~~ were still able to escape into wider [[Cosmoria]].

	During their long period of evolution, their brains began to change in a strange way.

Sensing a possible threat, the [[Cherubic Sentry\|Cherubic Sentries]] stationed on these Hedonist Worlds sought to exterminate the ~~Dökkálfar~~ before they could spread out. However, the ~~Dökkálfar~~ were long gone by the time the Sentries arrived, vanishing into the unforgiving currents of the Lux Aeterna.

	The ~~Dökkálfar~~ would not be seen again for a very long time, ~~millions~~ of years going by before being seen again.

They would soon come to realize their true nature when a group of Sedruan biologists studying a troop ~~of Dökkálfar~~ witnessed one of their teleporting events. When the troop rematerialized back into the material plane, they found themselves right in the middle of a Sedruan city, and right in front of a pair of traveling Magi at that. Upon sensing the large amount of Aeternal Energy that the pair gave off, the entire troop entered their frenzied state, lunging at the surprised Magi. The pair was quickly torn apart, with the troop being killed by law enforcement shortly afterwards.

	While initially believed to be little more than a one-off incident, ~~Dökkálfar~~ ~~troops began popping up on~~ ~~more~~ Sedruan worlds, with some even being seen as far away as [[Florathel]]. The Sedruan government quickly scrambled their science teams, capturing many specimens to see just what made these creatures tick. Despite their best containment efforts, they weren’t able to stop the troops they captured from teleporting away. It was even worse for the science teams that had Magi in their ranks, as they had to deal with dozens of ~~raging~~ ~~Dökkálfar~~ constantly bashing on the walls of their cells. Upon ~~finding~~ ~~out~~ ~~the~~ ~~Dökkálfar~~ ~~traveled~~ through the Lux Aeterna whenever they teleported, the species was renamed as the Aeternapes.

	Several thousand years later, as the [[Triumvirate Civilization]] crumbled and Sedrua shrank in size, as new powers took their place, they began to encounter the Aeternapes once again.
