Stalk

Stalks are a plant based species from the planet Evergreen. Evergreen is a plant haven with a biome that caters to every plant type.

## Anatomy & Physiology

Stalks are plants. Their bodies are composed of movable plants, like tree trunks. They can be any plant color or pattern. 'Feet' are pointed nubs and 'hands' are bifurcated nubs. Their "head" is an eye (any iris/pupil shape/color of an eye). The eye is freely movable (except over neck). It is more like hard plastic rather then a typical eye.

They speak by sending their thoughts using psionics, they cannot read thoughts or invade minds just messages.

They are capable to graft flowers on to their body.

Stalks are sexless, they decide what gender they want to be.

Children are created by making scrapings of two parents and planting it.

Stalks use photosynthesis to gain energy and do not eat.

## Society & Culture

Stalks society is very in tuned with nature. They have no built structures and prefer to be in the open but if necessary they grow trees to use as shelter. They are a very caring and nurturing species. They are friendly to anyone until they show themselves to be destructive. If harm comes to something they will swiftly deal with the issue, whether it is death or punishment. Killing is considered wrong unless it is in retribution for a crime. Stalks have no government preferring for self-accountability and respect/understanding for each other.

Grafting flowers to their body is another way of expression and communication Stalks have meaning for every flower and uses this to show emotion of as a gift.

Romance/Dislike is the common ones. For Sporite (love), a flower meaning love will be given to the one who has fondness and vice versa, grafting these flowers common practice making it 'official' or public. Removing the flower is their version of breaking up. Plagat (dislike or hatred) is similar where a flower with that meaning is given (not necessarily reciprocated). This usually ends in avoidance. If a minor crime is committed flowers with the meaning of hate/dislike may be forced on to that stalk.

If there is any worship it is of Evergreen itself, being considered the bringer of the stalk species. God Tier Entity (GT) might be a minor god as she brought 'gifts' to Evergreen.

Clothing can be anything (uses plant fiber rather than wool etc.) but usually prefers long garments (dresses etc.).

God Tier grants an 'emoter'. Emoters can be anything but it has to help express emotion.

## History

There were little plant variation in the early years of Evergreen and stalks were few and far between. Loneliness was common. God Tier Entity (GT) brought plants for all over the universe (and others) to Evergreen. More stalks developed and there was a boom in the species. Balance formed between the new and old Stalks to create the understanding they have now.

When some Bonbon arrived, they were welcomed as a new addition to the planet. However, most bonbons try keep to themselves but due to the friendly nature of stalks they tend not to give them space. Issues with punishment arrive as well, due to stalks views of death sentences.
