Lunarians

Lunarians are a race of people from the Red Line capable of creating fire from their body. The race is commonly thought to be extinct, with King as the only known survivor.

Appearance
Lunarians are mostly human-looking people noted for the following distinctive traits: large, black-feathered wings on their back, silver-white hair, and brown skin. In addition, lunarians can make a plume of fire visibly, near-constantly burn at their back, although it can be put out willingly.

Inter-species Relationships
Lunarians used to be known as a tribe of "gods" while they dwelled on top of the Red Line. According to Whitebeard, there used to exist a "Kingdom of Gods" (神の国) on the red continent long before Mary Geoise was ever there.

However, under as-of-yet unknown circumstances, lunarians have gone nearly extinct, with but a single survivor of the tribe currently known. The World Government seemingly hunts lunarians around the world to this day, rewarding anyone with a handsome sum of 100,000,000 for any tip-off about a lunarian's whereabouts.

Accordingly, lunarians are one of only three races not present in the nation of Totto Land, where various races of the world unite. For this reason, Charlotte Linlin has expressed her wish to recruit King into her crew, so that she can have a lunarian reside in her nation.

Biology
Lunarians possess the ability to "ignite" (発火) their body and manipulate the fire they create. Additionally, their physiology somehow grants lunarians incredible physical resilience, allowing them to thrive in any natural environment. They lose their durability by turning off the flames burning on their backs but gain extra speed in exchange.

Unlike the inhabitants of Skypiea, the lunarians' wings are functional and allow for at least gliding.

Overall Strength
Lunarians have the ability to emit fire from their bodies which they can control and weaponize in combat, such as using flames to boost the power behind their melee attacks, unleash powerful fire blasts, and even shape their fire into constructs, even very large ones. At their strongest, King's flames are so potent, they appear to take on the consistency of magma. It is unknown if excessive use of these flames causes any kind of drawback to the user.

He can't beat King...!! That guy's a remnant of the extinct lunarian tribe!! A monster that can survive in any natural environment. In the distant past, "gods"... That's what they were called!!

In addition, lunarians are noted for their incredible physical toughness, something that supposedly contributed to them being known as "gods" before going extinct. The surviving lunarian, King has been described by Queen as a "monster that can survive in any natural environment". Furthermore, when the flames that burn on their back are turned off, lunarians seemingly lose said characteristic endurance, although this comes in exchange for a massive boost in speed and agility, allowing members of this tribe to reach speeds faster than the untrained eye can follow.

Trivia

 * Lunaria is Latin for "moon-like". In fiction, the term "Lunarian" is sometimes used to describe inhabitants of the moon.
 * The lunarians' ability to create and control fire is similar to the minks' natural ability to conjure electricity from their bodies, as well as the abilities of fish-men and merfolk to manipulate water via Fish-Man Karate and Merman Combat.
