VIIIAn

## Anatomy & Physiology

VIIIAn have 4 total eyes, one set is smaller than the other and rests right above the larger pair. The smaller eyes are used for scouting out electricity, their element, and elements that may cause unsavory reactions to that VIIIAns element. Larger pair are used for general sight, Both eyes are completely black with electricity coursing through them reacting with the VIIIAn’s element showing Colourful sparks inside eyes and augmented segments, VIIIAn wings have a similar effect where the wings have a thin layer of electricity and gas that create long thin sparks almost constantly. VIIIAn have short fuzz in two colours which relates to their element, their main colour covers their entire body, while their secondary colour covers their body in chevrons in varying widths, mainly on the face, torso and feet, chevron shape  and direction depending on element. When there's a lack of electricity VIIIAn get low on energy and get tired easily, without electricity for too long VIIIAn go into hibernation to preserve energy, until more electricity is found or introduced. VIIIAn have one large sharp front tooth which tends to stick out, their two front bottom teeth are connected and very sharp, rest of teeth are sharp and pointy, made for their diet of hard shelled nuts and fruits, with the occasional crustation.

### Element specific features

Oganesson CXVIII

Always have one of their eyes permanently concealed be it by hair eye cloth or any way seems fit. Oganesson have 3 wings on each side and have 3 visible eyes (main big one, two smaller ones on top) 2 wings are removed when defective or “Retired”. Limitless colours, Tend to use rarer combos. Longer Antenna, Splits off at least once, ends bent. Normal Electricity effect in eyes and wings  transforms into a metallic liquidity effect. Electricity is still there if you look hard enough, not that anyone has seen a oganesson in person before. Limbs are noticeably longer compared to other VIIIAn, neck is also noticeably thinner and longer, oganessons are overall more slim and lanky than other VIIIAn.

## Society & Culture

Each hive has slight differences in culture but overall VIIIAn society is very work focused and believe every member of the hive has something they can contribute and work for, Augmentations to help you with your work or to help you with your work aren't uncommon but are not necessary. Oganesson are viewed very highly almost to a god standard, most VIIIAn are unaware how Oganessons are formed and it appears some want to

keep it that way. There are two types of relationships, platonic and romantic, they are viewed the same as each other. The only difference is how the ones in the relationship feel towards one another. Around the same time they got introduced to tech and augmentations a sort of marriage was created, to show you are “married” an augmentation on the thumb knuckle would be done. If “divorced” The entire thumb would become an augment, therefore “marriage” is rare among VIIIAn. VIIIAn when writing add parentheses to show importance to the words inside. Referring to any VIIIAn without their first name, last name, element, and numeral is highly taboo and very rude. If you are another VIIIAn and refer to them without the parenthesis that is also very rude it's basically saying they are not important enough.

## History

VIIIAn society has been very stable and simple for a long time, do your work and help your hive mates. At some point technology was introduced to them and there came oganessons. [WIP]
