Stimuli Tribe

The **Stimuli** Tribe are one of the 13 tribes of planet Ontaria. Stimuli Tribe members form a part of the military, preform roles of an investigative manner and track dangerous criminals and Tredicim.

## Formation

Uniquely Stimuli tribe members started out as two groups, that combined into one.

Like humans Ontarians are capable of adapting and flourishing in a variety of habitats. As Ontarians spread around their planet claiming territory that was rich in resources and food, eventually some Ontarians would be pushed to the fringes of comfortable land. Ontarians unable to claim good land settled on these fringes, and in turn they pushed other Ontarians into the harshest areas of Ontaria. The artic regions and jungle regions of the planet eventually became the last resort for these settlers.

Much like humans who had to live in jungles and the coldest areas of earth, the Ontarians forced to make a living in these incredibly harsh areas flourished. They learned to survive and much like earth these regions held some of the most ferocious, venomous and cunning creatures on Ontaria.

The jungles and artic areas produced two groups that evolved exceptional sensory organs. Survival doesn't always depend on strength on speed, simply being able to know your environment at every level from sight, sound and heat and more, allows for evasion of danger and hunting prowess.

While remaining in their isolate habitats, these Stimuli would venture forth to aid other tribes in hunting their food, for a cut or trade, or to hunt individuals who were a threat.

The early Stimuli started to see the world in almost every every way a creature can and continued to evolve amazing senses. After the arrival of the Patriarchs Stimuli living in the equatorial regions and those living in the artic regions were able to make contact. The two groups recognised their shared history and challenges so combined, disseminating their incredible sensory capabilities through procreation.

As the laws of the Patriarchs took hold on Ontarian society, Stimuli would take their place in the wider society. They joined the military of Ontaria and became the investigators for the various police forces across Ontaria.

## Symbiotic Evolution

Like the Morphosis tribe and Animalis tribe, the Stimuli formed a Symbiotic relationship with the Mend Tribe.

The Mend tribe evolved alongside the Stimuli in their harsh environments, environments that triggered a different evolutionary path for Menders.

## Powers and Abilities

Stimuli posses incredible senses far beyond that of a human.

##### Sight

Stimuli can see further and clearer than a human being, as well as being able to see into the electromagnetic spectrum at a far deeper level.

##### Hearing

Stimuli can hear noises beyond that of a human. They are also able to distinguish sounds more accurately.

##### Smell

Stimuli have far more smell receptors than humans, able to pick up the slightest smell and track its origin.

##### Touch

Stimuli skin is more sensitive than a humans.

##### Taste

Stimuli taste buds are more numerous and sensitive. To a Stimuli what a human might consider bland food is actually incredibly tasty.

##### Pain

Stimuli have a higher perception of the pain they feel.

##### Thermal

Stimuli will detect hot and cold far quicker than humans. They also tolerate extremes of hot and cold to a greater degree.

##### Balance

Stimuli have exceptional balance, poise and grace. This is why a pastime of the Stimuli is dancing highly skilled and evocative dances.

##### Position

Stimuli have the ability to know where they are at any given time. They possess a special awareness unmatched by any creature. If they leave a location and end up elsewhere, they are aware of where everything on that journey is and could easily locate and return to it. They never feel lost. While a human or Ontarian will feel isolated and alone in unfamiliar locations, Stimuli will not feel this, carrying a confident and easy going atmosphere wherever they go.

##### Chemical

Stimuli can detect chemicals, environmental factors and even radiation. This allows them to understand what is going on in an environment all the way down to the microscopic level.

## Skills

### Investigating

Stimuli are trained to be investigators and when reaching adulthood are able to become detectives for police forces and pathfinders in the military.

### Creativity

Stimuli are able to perceive the world to such a high degree their artwork, music, dancing, writing and acting will evoke high emotional responses. A human observing a Stimuli piece of art will be able to perceive multiple layers of meaning.

### Tie-chee

Tie-chee is a martial art practiced by Stimuli. It focuses on developing such an extreme sensory state, that a Stimuli can sense attacks made against them and respond accordingly. Masters of the art can even dodge attacks made by Swifters, with reactions boarding on precognition.
