Tangean

Tangeans are the native inhabitants of the planet Tangea. Unlike other species, the Tangeans are split into two highly divergent races: Tangean Royals and Tangean Grounders. Due to their prominence and diplomatic capability, the Royals are commonly referred to as Tangeans by both themselves and outsiders, whereas the Grounders are simply referred to as Grounders despite both races, living on the same planet, being Tangean.Both divergent species possess extraordinary powers unique between them. However, should a Royal be in the presence of a Grounder, or vice-versa, both species' powers will be rendered unusable.
==Biology==
===Tangean Royals===
Royals are generally humanoid with blue skin. Some of them are shown to have abnormally long necks, and most have small, pointed ears. The majority of Royals are often skinny and lanky, though some appear to have more muscle than others. They are able to move through solid objects, a technique referred to as "Ghosting."
===Tangean Grounders===
Grounders have pinkish to tannish colored skin and elongated heads. They are completely hairless, and possess very few distinguishing traits from one another. Although Grounders are typically heavily built with muscle, they are capable of emitting mind pulses.
==History==
Tangean Royals were known to have evolved from a sentient ooze-like species. It is unknown if the Grounders evolved from the same species.Upon reaching the height of their civilization, Tangea's two more prevalent species established themselves across the Galaxy. Tangean Royals came to live in highly advanced structures established high above the planet's surface, while the Grounders live in a nomadic lifestyle down below. Royals rarely leave the planet, while Grounders were known to leave the planet for various reasons, such as bounty hunting.
==Powers==
===Tangean Royals===
*Intangibility/Phasing: Tangean Royals have a psionic ability that allows them to phase through solid objects thanks to their powers of intangibility. This ability is referred to as "Ghosting". This is usually accompanied by a blue energy effect.
**Energy Absorption/Power Ghosting: A Tangean is also capable of phasing through volatile forms of energy unscathed. Any Tangean who phases through energy will also absorb said energy, leading to increased speed, strength and stamina. The drawback to this is that the absorption is heavily susceptible to addiction, which if not moderated will lead to a Tangean burning themselves out.
***Optic Blast: In the episode "Super Nova", Mira discovered that she could fire energy beams out out of her eyes after ghosting through energy.
**Tactile Telepathy: They can read people's minds and possess several telepathic abilities. They can read minds by forcing their intangible hand into people’s brains, a process the recipients often describe as physically disgusting. Tangean Royals can also form a Mind Link with others, including Grounders, even when their powers are canceled out. At one point, Mira Nova was able to sense the location of her planet which mysteriously disappeared at one point, suggesting that Tangeans can use their mental powers without their intangibility.
***Mental Manipulation: They are able to temporarily brainwash/erase, control the memories of others, and even change the phase-minds of people.
===Tangean Grounders===
*Mental Energy: Grounders are able to project mind pulses/beams of mental energy from their foreheads. Grounders can also emit mental energy shockwaves to take out robotic machineries, despite making them too exhausted to use another mental attack. They can also use their mental pulse to cause a huge explosion and escape without a scratch. If Grounders, like Romac, are well trained they can be unpredictable fighters, skilled in using other weapons like laser shooting experts or expert jetpack flyers, and excellent shooters with their Mental Blasting abilities, able to focus their strength to overpower opponents in single combat.
*Mind Link: Like Tangean Royals, they can Mind Link towards each other when given guidance. One Grounder known to have this ability is Romac.
==Culture==
===Tangean Royals===
The average Royal believes themselves to be superior to other species. They exist in an elitist, upper-class society, often wearing fancy clothing. Royal structures possess no doors, due to a combination of being able to ghost through walls and the unlikelihood of offworld visitors.Royals often look down upon their groundbound brethren, and will often use them as an insult when prompted.
===Tangean Grounders===
The Grounders appear to be more "rough" than the Tangean Royals. Like their snobbish cousins, they are quick to insult them, typically referring to them as "Bluebloods". Grounders are typically simple, and care little for anything beyond the here and now. While most of them are openly brutish and lack social graces, there are exceptions to this, such as the Bounty Hunter Romac.Grounders are said to have their own form of language, although this is more akin to a dialect rather than a language.
==Government==
===Tangean Royals===
The Royals are ruled by a monarchy, hence their name. The current ruler of Tangea is King Nova, and the heir to the throne is his daughter Mira. Their palace is located in a floating city above the surface.The Royals' government is infamous for its many convoluted rules and laws, which eventually led to a failed uprising led by Lord Angstrom.
===Tangean Grounders===
Grounders possess no form of government due to their primitive, nomadic lifestyle.
==Military==
No details are known about the Tangean military, but the Tangean Royals are shown to have guards, while the Grounders seem to lean towards a militia-style military.
