Martian

The Martians were a race of aliens from the planet Mars that unsuccessfully invaded Earth in 1898 because of their planets natural cooling and oceans drying up. Even though the Martians look like octopuses they have quite more advanced technology than Earths (prior to the invasion).

## Appearence

Martians are about 4ft in height and 8ft in diameter (including the tentacles). They have a bird like beak at the front of their body that isn't used for eating and is used for speaking otherwise its quite useless. Martians have 2 groups of 8 tentacles and 16 in total and are also useless as they have built heavy machinery that can do all the work for them. All Martians have a oily brown skin color but when it comes to eye color it is very diverse. Martian society seems to be based off eye color with ruby, red, pink, and purple being the most common eye color with ruby and red being slightly more common than pink and purple. The far more rare Martian eye colors are green, cobalt, and amber (especially amber). Martians with green eyes are picked for the highest rank in the Martian invasion core (most Martians who invaded Earth had green eyes). Martians with cobalt eyes are reserved for government positions and it is very rare for a Martian without cobalt eyes to hold a position in government. Now Martians with amber eyes are by fare the rarest kind of Martian with about 1 in 5,000,000 Martians having amber eyes, Martians with amber eyes are always made into the Martian Emperor with the luxury of staying on the coast of Mars last rapidly shrinking ocean.

## Biology

Martian biology is fairly simple with their body's being pretty much a giant brain with a small heart with massive lungs with their eyes jetting out of their head. Martians are not know to have an immune system and if they do its very weak since they couldn't fight off the common cold which led to the invasion failing. Martians do not have a digestive system because of their Hematophagic diet which leads them to get their nourishment from injecting themselves with the blood of other living beings. Martians also reproduce asexually with them growing a new Martian off the side of their massive head, Martians also have no defined gender.

## Language

Martian language is described by a survivor of the invasion of Britain as hoots and wales sounding much like a didgeridoo. It is believed that Martians could communicate telepathically but this took a huge amount of energy. Martians are also know to have a war cry sounding like "Ulla Ulla" and it could be heard as the invasion force was being defeated by the common cold.

## Current State

Since the only other life supporting planet in the solar system being a toxic wasteland for the Martians and their technology not being yet advanced enough to leave the solar system, the Martians had no other choice and as the last ocean on Mars dried up all Martians went extinct around the 2010s

## Facts of Stupidity

1. The Martians present in That One Reality are obviously based off the Martians from the novel "The War of the Worlds".
2. No one in That One Berg knows about the invasion due to government censorship.
3. Mars was invaded by the Byss and the Martians defeated them by the skin of their teeth.
