Species

The third of the four major species of Xaoc, are the Xulap. These are beings with the fantastical ability to phase through matter of any kind. They are able to share these abilities (if they choose to) with others once in contact. With great training, some are known to manipulate aspects of matter as well; being able to adjust atmospheres and landscapes to their will.

A Xulap appears to look like a ghostly aquatic creature. Around them are floating particles that look like torn pieces from their body. It is futile to attempt touching them, as doing so will only make the individual phase through a Xulap. They are essentially hollow, and typically float in midair.

Many fellow Xaoc inhabitants need to remain hidden during missions to fix broken multiverses. To avoid the possible complications of being discovered by mortals, having a Xulap to tag along greatly increases their chances of visual secrecy.

A Xulap has two forms: their regular form and their “Phantom Form”. In their phantom form, they become shadows with a constellation-esque design on its surface. The area a Xulap may cover is often quadrupled its original size when using its abilities. Their phantom form size can grow even bigger through dedicated training.

Anyone within this shadow can remain hidden in plain sight. Xulaps could also conceal any sound made within their shadow’s scope, as well as allowing individuals, who are within the scope of their shadow, to phase through matter.

Despite these amazing abilities, they can only use this if they are focused. If they are disrupted and their focus lapses, all their abilities will retract immediately. A single drop of distraction can cause an entire mission to fail once the Xulap accidentally reveals their entire party to an unsuspecting passerby.
