Chrysalids (16 RP)

==Physical Description==
Overall Chrysalid-sapias Carry a very striking appearance, with a wide ranging variety due to the chaotic makeup of their genetics, bloodlines, and regional adaptations. No matter what, they will bear an unmistakable insect-like resemblance, whether that is more of an ant, a wasp or even a moth depends on their descendance. 
While Chrysalid-Sapias do come in a wide range, some of the most prominent varieties are; Antlion, known for their tough hides with a typical yellow, to orange carapace with sharp protruding mandibles and a toughened claws. Appearing sharply ant like, however bi-pedal with a more rigid carapace.; Mothren, although quite rare their beauty and mesmerizing appearance, can entrance many, typical in appearance to that of moths, the patterns their wings show are quite brilliant. Their appearances tend to be quite alluring.; Mantoid, probably the mostly objectively disgusting of the Chrysalid-Sapia species, they are the most disturbing in appearance compared to their cousins, and hold the strongest relation to their ancestry compared to the other bloodlines. Almost the least humanoid of the three major bloodlines, they can be easily compared to standard Chrysalids.

==History==
Chrysalid-Sapia are not of natural origin, they came about when an Elder-Chrysalid-Queen sought a way to transcend her aging body into a greater and more suitable form that would not continue reinforce her instincts compelling her to die and produce the precious queen jelly that is coveted among the more intelligent members of the Chrysalid colonies. Tasking the un-witting soldiers to seek out test-subjects for her to toy with and experiment upon, treating certain eggs and slowly propagating a strain of eggs that began to integrate the genetics of their hosts, until finally the Mantoids came into existence, at first she would recycle the biomass of these creatures, and she tried to tweak and push them further. Eventually a mutation formed and pushed them forward over the bridge into sentience, and when she tried to recycle their biomass they put forth a futile resistance, however this fight managed to allow dozens of the Mantoids to escape the queen's clutches. 
The Queen would continue her research and ultimately fail after she passed. The primitive mantoid packs that managed to escape would spread far and wide and while some would try and integrate, others formed their own colonies and hives. As time passed, the Chrysalids would loose their primitive frames as they slowly evolved into the three separate bloodlines. 
== Temparent & Behavious==
Chrysalid-Sapias, can range in divergent manners, and some can acquire an estranged taste easily enough for predation on other humanoids. However, many are not like this and try and form their own colonies to the best of their ability away from the rest of civilization. While others do their best to integrate and lead normal lives among standard society. Chrysalid-Sapias find it easy enough to form long lasting bonds, when they are not of the depraved variety. Chrysalid-Sapia are usually guided by their strong instincts, though in some odd cases they are able to resist these impulses entirely and forego this temperament entirely.
Depending on the Bloodline of the Chrysalid-Sapia, they can form tight knit hives, tribal packs, or in some cases they can completely forego any kind of bonding and travel the world without interacting with any of their kind. In these hives, they will typically be very well aligned in personal beliefs almost forming an homogenous society within itself, customs, traditions and all kinds of value would quickly spread. For migratory tribes, oral tradition was most common, with artistic carapace scarring as a way to tell stories being most common. For singular individuals many attempt and succeed at integrating into normal societies, though the ones that hang around towns and do not choose to integrate, are seen as vermin and vile creatures sought to be exterminated before they hunt and kill for their accursed means.|
Chrysalid-Sapias are a tragic species, forced to incubate their eggs inside a living warm humanoid body in order to prolong the existence of the species; however a select few choose to bear the responsibility to bring the young to fruition inside their own bodies, which results in their inevitable death. While it is possible for the Chrysalid-Sapias to incubate inside deceased corpses, however it is more than likely that malignancies will form and kill them while they are gestating. Yet there are those insidious enough to kidnap and implant their eggs inside their victims and then let them go and travel whilst the young grow inside later to roam free after devouring the victims corpse, forced out on their own.
==Adventurers==
Often times Chrysalid-Sapias will wander out from their tribe, searching for meaning, or looking for a means to gather strength and potentially start their own hive. Other times they could be banished, for violating the hives strict traditions and laws, other times a more depraved side overcomes them as they seek to prey on the un-suspecting of the civilized world. Typically they embody the natural strength of their bodies and use it to their advantage, but in other cases, they merely use it as a supplement to path's they desire to take.
