Plantopians

**Plantopians** are a humanoid species of what can only be described as *human plants*; they derive from an island referred to as **Vetate Isle**, which is located off somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.

## Overview

### Home

Plantopians are born and raised on a medium sized Island, named **Vetate Isle**. It is located in the Atlantic Ocean, very far away from North America, and right in between South America and Africa. Along with the Plantopians, it is home to several animals (that are larger than their counterparts in other continents), such as boars, pigs, hawks, squirrels, and various species of bugs. Vetate Isle is one of, if not the most natural places in the world.

The only man made things on the island are the castle on top of a small mountain that the royal family lives in, consisting of *Mother Nature and her five daughters*, and the singular village that the other members of the species live in, where the homes and other buildings are built using trees, leaves, and dirt from trees that the Plantopians were given permission to use, by using their plant communication ability.

### Characteristics

Plantopians are humanoids with apparent green skin and leaves for hair.

Most males of the species tend to develop rather large muscles, regardless of any workout routine. Once they grow said muscles, it is imperative that they train and get used to them, otherwise their bodies will collapse with all of the extra weight, and it will be near impossible to move without help. There are some males that do not have this trait, though it is currently unknown why. *Members of the royal family* all are born with protrusions that look similar to gemstones as proof of their relation to the family, though they are not gemstones; it is actually only hardened tree sap, they can be removed from the body to be worn as an accessory itself.

Females of the species tend to be rather short, especially when compared to female
homosapiens. Several female Plantopians tend to also be very flirtatious, so when they encounter males of another species, or even homosexual females from other species, they put the charm on in order to get what they want with little to no hassle. Plantopian schools even have classes on how to be flirtatious and arousing. Older Plantopian females tend to mask their flirtatious side until they need it, though there are a few that turn this into a base part of their personality.

Plantopians age at a very slow rate, 1,000 years to them is equal to one human year. Because their queen, "Mother Nature" is a God of the Earth, the entire species has the option to age whenever they want. By entering a sort of a cocoon, they are able to skip the 1,000 years and age instantly, though this only works once a year per Plantopian. Most do this so that they can stay within the age range of people that they care about outside the species, such as significant others, friends, surrogate family members, or even other Plantopians that have gone through the aging process too.

Unlike a plant, however, Plantopians all have snake tongues. Instead of a heart or brain, Plantopians carry a seed inside their chests that act as a heart and brain. This seed pumps electrified *Karma* to the rest of the body, which acts as brain signals, and a Karma based power source. The Plantopians do not need to breathe unless extremely tired, meaning they can survive underwater and cannot suffocate in small spaces or choke on food. A Plantopian can even act as a tree and give off oxygen if they stand still and concentrate. Gifted Plantopians, and members of the royal family do not need to stand still or concentrate to do this, and can do it whenever they want.

While the species has a very long lifespan, contrary to popular belief, they are not immortal.

## Culture

### Diet

Plantopians do not eat fruits and vegetables. This is because their urine is essentially fruit juice, and their feces are varying kinds of fruit and vegetables. So, the species feasts on exclusively meat, insects, water, and sunlight, making them, more or so, Carnivores. They can go a long time without eating physical food if they want, so they leave the animals on Vetate Isle alone for long amounts of time so that they can reproduce and fatten up to make for bigger feasts. They also turn their arms into sharp vines in order to effortlessly fish in the ocean surrounding them. They'll eat almost anything they fish up, from octopi to entire whales.

Even though they don't eat fruit or vegetables and would only eat them if their life depended on it, they do actively grow crops in farms and let fruits grow outside the village. When humans or any other species come to the island, they are not allowed past the docks unless for VERY special circumstances. Usually the Plantopians will sell the visitors their fruits and vegetables and send them on their way. If they try and go farther than the docks, they will be killed and their vehicle will be raided and destroyed. If special visitors that are allowed past the docks try to harm nature in any way, shape, or form, depending on the severity of the offense, they will either be killed and have their vehicle raided, or be sent away from the island with a strict warning to never return.

### Currency

Currency on Vetate Isle are: coins made out of hard compact dirt, called 'Dirti', which equivalent to an American penny (1 cent), 'Soili' which is equivalent to an American nickel (5 cents) 'Groundi' which is equivalent to an American dime (10 cents) and 'Earthi' which is equivalent to an American quarter (25 cents). There are also leaf dollars, which are called 'Omni.'

### Reproduction

When a female Plantopian has intercourse with another male, regardless the species, the semen will change into a literal seed while inside the female's body. The female then shoots out a small seed, which would make Plantopian births a lot less painful than human births. The seed then has to be taken care of as if it was an actual seed. Watered, exposed to sunlight, etc. Plantopian homes feature sunroofs for sunbathing and photosynthesis, and holes in the ground so that baby Plantopian seeds and other plants can be taken care of. If the baby seed is left out of the ground for 24 hours, it will perish. A seed and it's roots can be transferred to a pot for mobile purposes. A Plantopian is born already fairly big and intelligent depending on how they were taken care of in seed form. They have the brain power and size of a 2 year old upon birth, already being able to walk, and the ability to talk after about 3 months after birth. Depending on the father's species, the baby can have a variety of features that resemble said father's species.

## Abilities/Powers

The Plantopians are a powerful species, capable of destructive force even without their powers. While the males tend to focus on brute strength and durability when it comes to combat, the females focus on precision and speed. The females are usually more skilled and powerful than the males.

* Enhanced Speed
* Enhanced Agility
* Enhanced Strength
* Enhanced Durability

**Regeneration:** Because they have the genetic makeup of a plant, they can regenerate lost organs or other bodily parts almost instantaneously.

**Sun Absorption:** Again, because they are practically plants, they can absorb sunlight, photosynthesis and all things that plants do with sun.

**Animal Communication:** Simply, they can communicate with animals and plants.

**Limb Control:** Plantopians can extend and shape their limbs to their will, usually they shape their arms into sharp vines for hunting.

**Poison:** The species possess a natural venom in their bodies, they're able to secrete this poison from their teeth or even projectile shoot it out of their mouths if they please. Depending on what they eat, it can change the properties of the poison: corrosive, scattershot, paralysis, etc.

### Weaknesses

As strong as this species is, they are prone to death by a few things. Just like any plant, their weaknesses are:

* Lack of Sun
* Dehydration
* Overexposure to fire
* Predators, the very large bugs on the island
