M'ha'oth

The M'ha'oth are the race that LBP belongs to and also the race credited with the creation of the Sç'rr'œnch, an art that eventually led to the invention of the Scronch. They are a people that inhabit the planet of Ha'jhar'oth, which actually consists of several planets with only one biome mashed together into one. They inhabit the equator, which is a rainforest, similar to bland-reality Earth. They are born when an entire galaxy is made to collapse, then the resultant singularity is imbued with Scronch essence and an egg is thrown into it, a process known as Shkorgling.

## Appearance

When M'ha'oth are first born, they resemble a brown, long, thin branch. Most are between 3 and 4 feet long and about half a foot in diameter. They eventually form a chrysalis and become an adolescent after about 300 years of life. In their adolescent state, they have several main colors: red, yellow, blue, beige, white, and black. The former three are much less common, but do happen occasionally. They strongly resemble a bland-reality peppered moth, although the beige ones do not have spots, but with glowing blue eyes. As they reach maturity, usually at around 1900 years of age, their fur turns gray and the glow in their eyes shifts into the center instead of their entire eye. They also tend to don maroon cloaks with yellow designs on them as a show of status. Once a M'ha'oth becomes old enough, typically 3300 years old, they create another chrysalis, this time transforming into an egg.

## Abilities

### The Sç'rr'œnch

The Sç'rr'œnch is the art from which the Scronch evolved. It is used to imbue their weapons with supernatural properties, to heal, to make portals to other places, to use telepathy, and various other uses. The M'ha'oth use it quite frequently, and are trained in its use from an early age.

### The Scronch

The Scronch is a subsidiary of the Sç'rr'œnch which banishes a being to the void when it makes contact, eviscerating any inorganic material in its path. It is usually red in color when discharged, and can be discharged as a constant beam of Scronch energy or as a rapidly-moving orb.

#### The Omega Scronch

The Omega Scronch is a rare variant of the Scronch that is notably capable of affecting an incredibly large spatiotemporal region, usually 3-6 CR.

#### The Dimensional Scronch

The Dimensional Scronch is a more powerful version of the Scronch that deletes the target from all realities simultaneously. It will follow the target wherever they go, even digging holes through spacetime to reach them. Once it makes contact, there is no way to reverse its effect.

##### The Omni-Scronch

The Omni-Scronch is a subsidiary of the Dimensional Scronch. It is able to erase a target from all realities at all times, making it so they never existed, do not exist, and never will, at any point in space or time. Similarly to the Dimensional Scronch, it is also relentless in its pursuit of its target.

### The Infini-Scronch

The Infini-Scronch is a technique used by LBP that is performed by merging together a Scronch, Omega Scronch, Dimensional Scronch, and Omni-Scronch. It has only been used by one or two individuals in history, and is so ridiculously powerful that most beings attempting to even perform the preliminary steps to discharge it are immediately incinerated by the sheer amount of Scronch energy present in one space. If it is successfully fired off, the Infini-Scronch will, like the more potent of its components, endlessly home in on its target unless called off. When it connects, it will erase its target, or any extant object, formerly existing object, or yet to exist object similar to its target to be immediately erased from the entirety of the omniversal spatiotemporal continuum. As such, it prevents its target, or anything like its target, from ever existing.

## Society

The M'ha'oth are a warrior people, with every M'ha'oth of fighting age (basically any point in their adolescence) being armed and sent to a training ground. After rigorous training with a weapon of their choice, they are divided among Kh'Hæl’nk, which are large groups of warriors led by a Jk’næ, which is essentially a warlord with immense skill in combat. Kh'Hæl’nk are not further divided into sects, and as such are typically sent out in their entirety, even if this is not necessary. A Kh'Hæl’nk consists of around 1,500 M'ha'oth warriors, though some may have more or less due to losses in battle or excess members.

When a warrior progresses into the later stage of its life, it will become an Æl’dhâr and be given a characteristic plain red cloak. Æl’dhâr typically act as advisors for the Kh'Hæl’nk they belong to, and assist in enchanting their weaponry.

## Weaponry

The warriors of the M'ha'oth (the adolescents) use spears and swords enchanted with the Sç'rr'œnch to make them more effective. They also employ the Scronch in ranged situations.

### The Jr'æ'jthk

The Jr'æ'jthk is a pole arm consisting of a long pole and a blade on the end similar to an axe. The blade is enchanted with the Sç'rr'œnch, allowing it to cut easily through basically anything and never dull.

### The Mha'þak

the Mha'þak is a weapon resembling a saber, albeit with a blade more similar to a greatsword, though curved like a saber. It also has two blades, one above and one below the hand, and some have one directly in front of the hand, however this design never reached mass production.
