Birth

Birth was the first ever Exomen, and the last to be able to reproduce alone. Birth was the only one ever to name Exomen, up until The Adumbral Empire came along, and amazingly, she never once utilized the same name twice. Birth has the least amount of toes of any Exomen, even when including her ancestors. Though she'd never show it, Birth has always been bashful about all the celebrations that her children made in her honor, but you'd never catch her missing a single one of them.

As Life and Death Retired from creation, they, like the Starmaker herself, crafted one more being to take up the duty, as well as a planet specifically for her. They named the new child Birth, and due to the amount of energy used to create her, she was the final member of creators that would be able to reproduce without a partner. Referring to a scripture left behind by her parents, Birth honed her skills as a creator, and took great joy in her ability to craft beings that were like her, as well as teaching them what she had learned.

Amidst the many eons of conceiving, Birth's energy had begun to wear thin, as such, a new order of reproduction was put in place for the Exomen, where the current generation would squander themselves entirely, putting their mass amounts of energy together to create an entire new generation of Exomen all in one fell swoop. Initially, Birth detested the idea, and struggled with the concept of giving up what was thought to be her only purpose in life, though she was eventually able to be convinced, as she shifted her objective to being a teacher instead.

Though she, as well as the rest of her kin, was able at any point to leave the planet she called home, Birth never once left Xeptuthina-koff, nor did she aim her eyes towards planetary creation as her ancestors and descendants did. She instead put all of her time into being a mother and caregiver to her children. It was often brought up within the groups of her offspring that Birth should be allowed to create something on whichever planet that generation was working on, but each time she refused, insisting that she'd much rather preserve her energy to continue to teach her children, even long after the new order of reproduction was put into place.

Birth is shown to be of the utmost kind and understanding of any Exomen, and she encourages each of her children to be as such as well. She never singlehandedly put rules in place, instead allowing each new generation of Exomen to create said generations decrees. Though there always seemed to be common themes despite the thousands of generations of difference between each other, each generation's rules followed the themes that were first observed in the initial sets

The common themes follow a simple set; To create out of love, never malice, To only use matter currently not being utilized by any living thing, And to only ever create, never destroy.

When The Adumbral Emprie first landed on Xeptuthina-koff, Their demands were paramount, but lost in translation. The Scouts that were collecting data on the planet were not very successful and translating their language, and in the process, accidentally demanded the sacrifice of Birth instead of the solar system's sun, as the Exomen misinterpreted what they meant by "The One Who Shines Brightest Of All". Though despite everything, Birth was quick to give herself up to these creatures, as she believed that if she did so that her children would be spared. Despite endless pleading from the Exomen, Birth was adamant in her decision.

When presenting herself, the Empire was befuddled, though since Birth emanated the same source energy as the sun that they were seeking, the hungry Empress accepted the sacrifice regardless, as a little food was better than none at all. Sadly though, Birth's final wishes of her children being spared from this tyranny was never recognized, and the Empire took the now leaderless planet as their own, enslaving the remaining population.
