*slides you ten dollars* Can it be over for us bitches, I enjoy body horror and inhumans and I have no fucking clue what a Lumian is, but I need more
gonna try to keep this short!
lumians are the semi-popular name for a fanon species from the yogscast minecraft series. usually xephos and strife are the ones drawn as them, sometimes other characters. basically the fandom was like "hoooh bioluminescence good," xephos is ambiguously a canon "spaceman," strife knew him in college, people made those two the aliens. the only real basis is "they have glowy freckles" and all other lore depends on the person! random old fanart, this fanon has been around for AWHILE
me and van headcanon xephos and strife (yogscast) as lumians, as well as RTgame, who's a xephos clone, eret (dsmp, has glowy eyes) and scott (3rd life/osmp, is literally a starborn on the origins server) as subspecies as them, ive also drawn sparklez as one but Cant Find It, Dammit. this is the explanation behind this post of scott and martyn interacting, martyn commenting on scott being a lumian is funny because he canonically knows xephos and strife in yogscast canon
our lovely friends mint and eddie headcanon strife and xephos, and zoeya (yogscast) as neohumans! ironically enough he also drew martyn as one in the zoeya art. instead of being aliens they're future humans, but still have the same bioluminescent trademark. different name, same idea.
same with myke and shep, who headcanon angor as one along with the two usuals. and there's a bunch of others in the fandom, i just wanted to keep it to peoples lore i actually know. obviously not everyone's individual lore has this headcanon, it's just kinda common!
TLDR: yogscast fanon lore about glowy aliens that i think is fun to apply to greater mcyt fandoms.
if you wanted specific information about me and van's lumian lore, well... i can certainly do that, but just... send another ask so this isn't ten pages long :P
