Eternal Galaxy Project

That could work. Perhaps that is also where they draw power. As for the Arcains, what if they were the only race that was immune to the crystallization process, due to their close connection with the crystals?

Also, how are they born with crystals in them? Better yet, scrap that question. Who created the Arcains?

That might be....

As for "who created the Arcains"
...well
Indirectly we could say Venturia. They were born from the First Phoenix incident along with the Prometheos
Vatians, Irians, and Papillians were born from the Second Phoenix Incident.

@Cucoo

Hmm...

So what if the Arcains were a project of sorts to try and give the crystals living properties.

Ok, so where do we stand?

Also, here's something you might like. It might provide some inspiration.

Eternal Galaxy Project

Thing is, the two crystals (which I really should name as a set rather than just their independent names) came into existence after the second Phoenix Incident.
Which would imply that the Arcains created these two... Sentient Crystals...
Could make for an interesting mystery for Alcyon... why were the two crystals created...

I think I realized my problem with Selene...
I didn't decide on a scenario...

What I mean is...
With my other solid characters I have a scenario that serves as their base.

Eleos -> Senari Republic crisis
Kiara -> War of Alcyon
Aion, Cicero, Nero, Aurora, Aetheron, Erebos -> Arcain revolt
Tina -> Adoption by Nyx
Starla, Ember -> Egale Space Colony
Venturia, Unknown -> Eternal Galaxy Project
Joe, Terrisa -> Hunters' Guild

These scenarios help me set the characters and define them for the rest of the story. I'm lacking this for Selene. I don't have any scenario to start Selene off...

... Though it might be she's normal and gets dragged into things... But...
... I don't know how normal works to define her.
The above scenarios define the characters. My best one is the one with Eleos. I should start writing it...
But point is...
Selene... Doesn't have any turning point scenario that defines her motives.
...even then her personality doesn't exactly make her a very driven person...

@Cucoo

Why would they be created?

that's the thing...
I have no reason for their existence outside of Kiara's backstory with the War of Alcyon where Achlys attempts to use the power of the Ethereal Darkness to prepare to fight against the Nihiliods.
...oh wait
...Maybe they're also Artifacts of Heaven's Forge... Left behind to protect Alcyon.
So pretty much... "Guardian Stones"

Also I think I finally got a passage for Selene that could define her...

@Cucoo

Yea? What is it?

Selene Aetas

"Damn council is going to get us all killed."
Joe smirked at Aion's irritated tone. "Anxious are we?"
"The longer we sit here waiting, the more likely the NGO is going to show up." Aion fell into a leaning position against a wall with his arms crossed. "We must first decide if it is wise to attempt another offensive against the Daedalus Project" He imitated. "Decide! They have three of the Shards and they want to sit back and think this through? If we don't take out the Daedalus Project, all those that died..."
"Aion, look..."
"We did something in that battle. That sacrifice wasn't for nothing...!" Aion's voice cracked with false confidence as doubt kept nagging at the back of his mind. "It wasn't for nothing..."
Joe, Eleos, Kiara, and Starla stood there stone faced. The silence among the group was broken only by the buzz of activity in the city. Aion glanced to each of his friend's faces, looking for confirmation, a nod that would magically dispel his fear that Sullivan and hundreds of thousands of others did, in fact, die in vain.
"...I need some air." Aion brusquely said has he turned for the door, suppressing his frustration.

BEEP

THUD
A thin hand came crashing down on the alarm clock. Selene adjusted her blankets so that she could just see what time it was, even though she already knew. "12:45... uuuungh..." She let her arm fall to the side of the bed as she hid again under her blankets. "Just... a few more minutes... hours... days..." However, against her wishes, the blankets were tugged off the bed with her in them by a Mus. "Oof-!"
The Mus and the Minume riding it went over to the source of the groans of pain, happy that its plan of getting the silver-haired girl out of bed was a success. The Mus poked its nose into the blankets, inches from Selene's face and let out a long "Muuuuuuuur."
Selene groaned, sounding just like the Mus. "Fiiiiiine. I'll get uuuup..." She said before expertly undoing the cocoon of blankets.

Selene was wearing a white, baggy T-shirt and her long silver-grey hair fell about in a messy sprawl among which she lazily blew away any stray strands that were in her face.
A moment of sitting on the floor, attempting to wake up, then suddenly she got to her feet, grabbed her day clothes, a black dress shirt with white trim and matching short-skirt, put them on and then headed for the door. The Minume and the Mus however stopped her by landing on her head, reminding her to fix her messy hair. A quick detour to the washroom and she then returned to heading out to go to the local cafe for "breakfast", grabbing a purse which the Minume and Mus got into.

As Aion walked through the busy streets of the floating city he let his mind wander through his thoughts, analyzing the situation.
On one side, the NGO still had control over the Daedalus Project and also possessed three of six Shards of Starlight. On the other, the Delta Division is still crippled and only has two of the Shards.
"We need to find that last Shard so that the NGO can't use their power... But at the same time we need to capture the Daedalus Project before they can use it." He stopped walking, his thoughts racing as he came to a conclusion. "Our priority needs to be finding that last shard."
Any further thought was interrupted by a sudden growl from his stomach. "Oh that's right... haven't had anything for the past 12 hours..." glancing up, he saw a restaurant not far from where he was. "Guess my subconscious knew enough to lead me to the restaurant district."

Selene made her way to the lower levels of the city heading for her favorite cafe. The only thing on her mind was what meal she was going to have, what would dinner be, and what would she do for snacks in between. Despite her thin build, she had a healthy appetite that is rarely sated. Her plans were cut short as she accidentally bumped into a man wearing a white vest jacket with a phoenix emblem on the back. She would have dismissed the encounter if it wasn't for a brief sensation that she only felt from objects of other timelines. She stopped and turned to watch the man walk into a diner nearby, wide eyed as she came to terms with what just happened.
Selene has a special gift. The ability to see closed Fissures of Time. She could look into these closed fissures and see past, present, and future. With this she also has the ability to sense if an object didn't belong in the current timeline when she touched it. She sensed that something was not of this timeline. And it was triggered by that man. This sudden event sparked her curiosity and she followed this person into the diner. "Let's find out what's special about you..."

@Cucoo

That entry looks good to me.

BTW, what's a Mus?

A really big mouse that can do alot of strange things. Minume are tiny humanoid creatures.
