Matterkind

The Matterkind, is a unique intelligent humanoid alien race that seem to be based on materials and elements. They have started to evolve and become intelligent much later on in the universe; much after both humans and Miktam races around A.D. 2199.

The Matterkind are known for their extremely diverse ecosystems due to how vastly different each subspecies' needs are.

## Origins

The Matterkind, as an intelligent race rose around the 23rd century. They are a unique evolution of what would be called lifeless origins, such as minerals, elements and materials that reign over natural biomes. All subspecies have roughly the same level of intelligence.

Similarly to the Miktam, they originate from three different colonies: PROCYON, Termina and TRAPPIST were the starting points of the Matterkind. Termina and TRAPPIST were already filled with life prior to the Matterkind becoming an intelligent race. The current running theory is that the nanomachine technology the ancient have used may have found its place to these colonies due to the aftermaths of the Ancient-EF War, allowing those runaway nanomachine colonies to bound with certain elements and natural minerals.

This is the only running theory due to how unfeasible it would be for elements and minerals to gain consciousness, let alone have organic-like evolution.

## Orders and Physical Attributes

The Matterkind are human-looking, mostly in shape. Due to their diversity in subspecies, most of them have a distinct appearance and bodily properties. They categorised themselves into four groups of subspecies; the Elemental, Roche, Halloween and Liquid orders, where each of them come from a different homeworld, with the exception of the Liquid order coming from the same colony as the Halloween order does.

### The Elemental Order

The Elemental order are native to the PROCYON colony. They are the class of subspecies that are based on natural-occurring elements. They used to boast vast empires. Some of them cannot come into direct contact with organic lifeforms, due to how they body properties function. They have developed special clothing and technologies to circumvent this for the Starfall Foundation. Their survivors can be found in numbers on the newly colonised PSRB-Shiver.

* **Flare :** this class are based on the fire element. Normal humans cannot approach them due to their scorching body heat.
* **Fulmina :** this class are based on the lightning element. Organic living beings should avoid direct contact, as it could lead to electrocution.
* **Aqueta :** this class are based on the water element. Everything they come into contact with turns wet. Antithesis of the Flare class.
* **Aura :** this class are based on the wind element. It is hard to touch them, as it could result into cutting.
* **Gaelia :** this class are based the earth element. They are the closest to organic lifeforms as they are made out of soil and coming into contact with them is effortless.
* **Luxia :** this class are based on the light element. They are very rare and a less dangerous version of the Fulmina class.

### The Roche Order

The Roche order are native to the Termina colony. They used to be the most numerous subspecies in terms of population, prior to the Termina Conflict. Their homeworld was used as a central hub within the Matterkind Complex. A tiny amount of the remaining population can be found on RRP2-Ripple, otherwise, they are considered as an almost extinct species.

* **Petrae :** this class are based on rocks and stones, the easy differentiator with the Crystalline class is their greater height and shorter lifespan.
* **Crystalline :** this class are based on refined crystals, or gems. Due to their higher density and stronger structure, they are much shorter and live longer than their Petrae peers.
* **Saccharid** : this class are strangely based on sugar and salt bonds and compounds.

### The Halloween Order

The Halloween order are native to the TRAPPIST colony. They are considered the strangest form of life thus far. The Booh Kingdom comes notably from this order, as they reigned over all of TRAPPISIT during their existence. Their survivors can be found in numbers on RRP2-Ripple and most notably the Eldridge Orbital Space Station.

* **Spectre** : this class are based on ectoplasm material. They function similarly to how ghosts are known in folklore.
* **Chandelier** : this class are based on candle/wax material. The flame on their head is the source of their lifeforce, which cannot be extinguished by normal means.

### The Liquid Order

The Liquid order are native to the TRAPPIST colony alongside the Halloween one. Due to the colony having very distinct water and land borders, this allowed to happen. Their survivors can be found across both RRP2-Ripple and PSRB-Shiver, although their numbers, which can be counted in hundreds now, are dwindling on an extinction course faster than the Roche order.

* **Bubble** : this class are based on viscous materials, such as jelly, honey and syrup.
* **Magma** : this class are based on the magma and lava material, living under the planet's crust initially.
* **Parasite** : this class are based on parasites, based on the bubble and magma class but need other lifeforms to depend and survive on.

## History

### Home Colonies

The Matterkind are native to three different colonies.

Termina, used to be recognised as the Matterkind's capital, due to its gigantic population of 9.9 billion people at the time. It was an Earth analogue about 3 times the size of Earth, big enough to fit under the Super-earth category. It used to be the homeworld and birthplace of the Roche Order, which is now almost extinct after the Termina Conflict that destroyed this world.

TRAPPIST, used to be an annex colony that hosted the powerful Booh Kingdom that reigned all over the colony. It used to be the administrative capital of the Matterkind. Their population migrated to the Eldridge Space Station, orbiting the RRP2-Ripple colony after the destruction of TRAPPIST during the Matterkind Massacre. This colony used to house 2.2 billion individuals from both the Halloween and Liquid Orders, which they originate from.

PROCYON, used to be a brown dwarf that became a Super-earth with time. It was the birthplace of the Elemental Order and home of 7.7 billion people, outnumbering Earth and being the second most populated colony of all civilisations, after Termina itself. The Solaris Empire used to reign over there, and the survivors moved first to Termina, then to PSRB-Shiver after its destruction during the Solaris War.

### Colonised Colonies

The Matterkind, due to suffering heavy losses by the Earth Federation and many other organisations, they decide to colonise two colonies that they have terraformed. The Matterkind seem to possess the most technologically advanced form of terraforming, even surpassing humans with the powers of the Apocrypha, allowing them to terraform two entire colonies in geological no-time.

RRP2-Ripple is the new Matterkind capital, and only has 98 million survivors from the various conflicts. The colony is home to various Orders and even some other alien races have started to settle in alongside the Matterkind, notably some Miktam thanks to the Alliance Union. Ripple is slowly becoming the new melting pot of civilisations, as a couple humans from Earth have decided to move in, and a few Thaellians as well. The Eldridge Orbital Space Station was constructed first to house TRAPPIST refugees, but it is now the headquarters of the Alliance Union as well.

PSRB-Shiver is the second annex colony of the Matterkind, which is where the bulk of Elemental Order refugees have settled in. It is one of the only colonies that are free of any conflict so far due to its harsh climate, just like how Procyon had extreme biomes. People that want to escape the Earth Federation can find asylum there.

### Civilisation Beginnings

The civilisation began roughly around the twenty-second century in the human A.D. calendar. The four Orders were already in contact with each other, through some means similar to the Miktam's Starflight System Network and mankind's Universalis Network System.

They came into contact with the Miktam first, triggering the Esirnus-TRAPPIST Conflict, which resulted in the creation of the Alliance Union. They seem to possess advanced terraforming, and biome-altering technologies but aren't seen as advanced as either the Miktam or mankind in general technological prowess.
