Synthia

Synthia arrived on Eko at the same time as humans, and are generally viewed as their evil cousins. When Zyxus fell, humans and Synthia arose from the Sea of Ten Thousand Tears, hand in hand as friends. However, after a series of events including the eradication of almost every synthia by humans, the synthia and humans now coexist in a slowly boiling stew of hatred for each other. Humans hate the synthia for their magical abilities which seem closely tied to the Absinthe Stone, and the synthia hate humans for almost eradicating them.

Synthia are almost identical to humans but for a black or white stripe of hair that always manifests itself as synthia reach adulthood. Many choose to hide it, either by concealing it under a hat, nestling it in the center of a bundle of hair, or even shaving their head. Besides this, synthia are mentally and physically quite similar to humans.
