Samsaran are a humanoid race with pale blue skin, solid white eyes, and dark hair. Their personalities seem to be a mixture of being old and wise, and this is often true as they keep reincarnating every time they die where they get a chance to do better.

Keeping some of their memories, although more like half-forgotten dreams, they try to live a simple life where most things could be continued in the next life cycle. They can have human children, though some can reincarnate as a Samsaran.

Seeking self-reflection and knowledge, they pass through communities, towns, and cities, often choosing one of them to settle down for a more stable life. They also keep their names which can became known, names like Bakji, Walu, and Zonja.

The reality they live in is a neverending cycle of reincarnation, where Samsaran partially keep their memories from their old lives, albeit more as half-remembered dreams. Their solid white eyes and pale blue skin are the main physical difference compared to humans, and they tend to live simple lives, doing things that could easily be continued in their next life that is bound to happen. Think about where the character was first born, what kind of a life they led, how many lives did they lead before this one, and create a name worthy of their wise nature and all the advice they are more than ready to share.
