General Overview
Elxingns are a sci-fi based humanoid species. They are typically well known within the galactic universe although they have methods of disguise to shield them from potential threats and a well developed military. Elxingns originated on their home planet, Xngn, where many still reside but a good number of them can also be found off-world as they have advanced technology that allows them to travel between galaxies on organized missions.
All major decisions for their race are chosen by the elders, Xle, and Gns, the oldest and everlasting of the species. No one knows their true age. Not even the elders know themselves, as they went into a hibernation after the first extinction. This extinction wiped off nearly the entire Elxingn race leaving only those considered the elders. Growing from the experience of witnessing their entire population dwindle to nothing they've decided to alter the base elxingn gene to ensure the new resurgence survives after their long slumber.
Social Hierarchy: Elders, Mystics, Lyts, Nimz, citizens
Basics
-Lifespan is based on the strength of the certain Elxingn. This based on their disc.
common Elxingns tend to live for 800-1k years
Rare Elxingns can live up to 1.5k-2.5k years
Mystics are everlasting* (Based on Tail)
*Every 100 years an Elxingn grows a disc. / The common 'drinking age' for Elxingns is 500
*Note: An Elxingns can only grow 10 disc. After this point their age is not as evident*
-Time A day on Xngn = 60 earth hours
A year on Xngn= 500 Xngn days
Week= 10 Xngn days
Month= 50 Xngn days
-Knowledge is a strong point for Elxingns.
They can learn new languages in a matter of weeks, how to do something correctly in minutes, and read a persons body language almost instantly.
-The reproductive process for Elxingns is very similar to humans. Elxingns produce live young, called xlings, and have an average pregnancy term of 2 months. Most Elxingns are able to conceive xlings after they turn 200, but this is usually looked down upon. Most wait until at least 400 years of age.
-Sexuality As in most species any term of sexuality or gender are present. Yes, they may be in a relationship with other species.
-Death Like most societies they have a ceremony to honor their dead. This can be done with any size group or none at all. They are usually put in glass cases for their ceremony and incinerated at the end of the ceremony, a family can decide if they would like to be there for this moment or not.
*All Lyts and Nimz deaths who held an important role or died in the line of duty are given a public incineration ceremony.
Leaving Xngn
Elxingns typically leave the planet in groups. Only during very special circumstances may an Elxingn leave the planet alone. Groups are made up of 4-10 people, one of which always being a pre-assigned Lyt.
Lyts are a group of powerful life element Elxingns who act as a type of body guard for their colonizer groups. More information on them will be provided in the following section.
After a group is formed they are given three years to be screened for stability and are given rigorous classes and training pertaining to the planet they are to be immigrating to. After those three years, they are given two months to spend with loved ones and ensuring they were ready for departure before being shipped off with their group in special made pods.
Once at their new destination, they are given a two week grace period (in Xngn time) to go back to Xngn , but this decision will revoke their ability to ever leave Xngn again. At two weeks the decision to continue or leave is deemed final and any attempt to change the decision after the grace period will be deemed invalid. At the end of the two week grace period those who wish to return to the home planet will be required to stay within the confines of their landing pod until departure. This is due to an additional 2 weeks on the planet being utilized as integration with help from Lyts.
During these two extra weeks on the new planet the Elxingns who persevered will be known to rapidly adapt to the new planet's environment. If there is already an established alien civilization on the planet by the time of arrival this will also include heavily adopting their customs and culture to better migrate into the new community. All of this is done with the help of the group's assigned Lyt.
The Lyts <- Click for full lore
The lyts are a group of powerful life element Elxingns who are sent with groups to help them migrate and to tend to their health.
These Elxingns are picked out as soon as their first ring shows. They are trained in a special school on how to use their element to do their duty. When they are of age they are given the choice to become a lyt or stop their training from that point.
Most accept the duty. They get high status among the society. when a strong life element rejects the job they are mainly looked down upon.
Nimz<- Click for full lore
Nimz are almost the equivalent of all of the armed forces and police. They are a highly respected group of specialized Elxingns. Nimz can have whatever element, but they must pass an extreme endurance test both mentally and physically. This test can last up to a year.
Most Nimz have a four-part disc. Very rarely will a weaker Elxingns make it past the test.
First Extinction
The Elders were two of the six survivors of the first extinction. No one knows how long ago the extinction was because after the extinction the last survivors all went to a deep hibernation. Only five woke from this hibernation alive.
The first race of Elxingns would all be considered mystics. The main reason for their extinction was overpopulation. They were producing faster than their planet, Xngn, could produce the products needed to keep the race alive. This led to a planet war. They fought for food, housing, and other means of survival. Some would give up before fighting.
After the five mystics woke from their hibernation they worked on re-population. They were the smartest of the mystics. They had survived by both strength and wits. When they had their first children they altered their genes to avoid mystics ever being born again. (Of course, this can still happen in very rare occasions.)
Two of the mystics wanted to create a new type of world order that the other three did not agree with and this led to a fight among the last five of them. This war was known as the Battle of Redom. The fight lasted over 2400 years. In the end, the three mystics beat the two who wanted the world order. They were given a proper incineration ceremony.
Xle and Gns along with one last mystic were deemed the elders. Elxingns were named after these three.
The last mystic created the technology to travel between the planets and galaxies. After the first few groups came back from their test journey, the last mystic left with no contact and never came back. To this day no one knows where they are or if they are still alive.
Current
Elxingns live in peace for the most part. They live under the rule of the Elders. The elders created the X's' (The rules of Xngn)
The most prominent of the rules in the X's' are:
-All Elxings are subject to exile or death for the death of another citizen of Xngn.
-Elxingns are required to update their record if any changes happen relating to their elemental state.
-Every Citizen is allowed to be part of a universal traveling group at least once in their life. Leaving the group before departure will allow for another group chance, but coming home after the two week grace period will end this right.
