Negative

**Negatives** are a powerful spacefaring race that largely operates on one or more hiveminds.

## History

Negatives are among the oldest species in the universe.

## Biology

### Anatomy

The majority of a Negative's form consists of a material called "nyctoplasm" that is able to transition between a tangible and intangible form. In most cases, the body is solid, though with enough mental concentration from the Negative, it can become a pseudo-gas, allowing for levitation, flight, and/or teleportation. The older the Negative is, the more control they will gain over this ability.

Every Negative has a central, magnetized core which acts as a vital organ as well as their optic center. It is this core that allows for the rest of the body to shift forms, as differing magnetic pulls cause the flux between states. As a result, extremely powerful magnets and the poles of a planet are detrimental to younger Negatives.

### Sex and Gender

Negatives commonly have three sexes: GWJXಲ (commonized as "Gwion"), ∴NX (commonized as "Ainah"), and ┴REWʎ (commonized as "Shrewa").

GWJXಲ are capable of asexually producing offspring, or traditionally impregnating a ┴REWʎ. When commonized, most GWJXಲ ascribe to she/her pronouns and align more towards a feminine side of a gender spectrum.

∴NX are capable of reproducing with any non-Negative species that can incubate offspring, resulting in a child that recombines genes from the non-Negative partner (in essence, creating an imperfect clone). When commonized, most ∴NX ascribe to he/him pronouns and align towards a more masculine side of a gender spectrum.

┴REWʎ are capable of traditionally reproducing with GWJXಲ, or collecting genetic samples from an ∴NX to combine into a new offspring. In either case, the ┴REWʎ incubates or otherwise produces the offspring. When commonized, most ┴REWʎ ascribe to xe/xym pronouns and are often mistaken for being feminine-performing by cultures lacking Negative influence.

### Life Cycle

Negatives begin as Drones, which serve as emotionless stock workers of a clan. Connected via hivemind to a Lord Negative, there is a chance that they may develop free will and emotions over the course of many years. These lucky ones evolve to their Elite Stage, during which they are granted agency in their decisions. However, many stay loyal to their Lord Negative and serve simply as higher-ranking underlings. Elite Negatives, if they are granted the title by the defeat, abdication, or retiring of a sitting Lord Negative, are considered "Lord" of that clan. However, in terms of biology, chemical changes do not take place until years later. Once this change completes, they officially become Lord Negatives, though if the title transfers owners at any point in the process, the chemical changes stop shortly after.

## Culture

### Clans

Negatives are organized by clans, in which one Lord Negative rules over a number of Drones or Elites.

### Evolution and Conversion

Incomplete conversion into a Lord Negative as the result of a passing title is considered a great dishonor.

### Language

Negatives speak a language known as Tetronas, which sounds raspy and "staticy" to the native speaker. Negatives retain some vocal traits from Tetronas when adapting to new languages, but will often "simplify" their names in order to be easily pronounceable to non-speakers.

### BLʎDSPORT

BLʎDSPORT ("Bloodsport") is an activity that serves roles of both punishment and entertainment in Negative circles.
