The Novakids
Posted Image

Novakids are gas-based humanoids who possess considerable intelligence and intuitive in comparison to other races, and can live up to 2000 years. However, they are also known to have short attention spans which was mainly the cause for their lack of technology advancement and their history being lost. Novakids, though more resistant to temperature changes, are physically weaker compared to other races.

Anatomy

As gas based entities, Novakid bodies are hot plasma that is held together by a magnetic membrane that acts as their shell. The brand of a Novakid is essentially the ‘core’ of their being, as it is the source of their magnetic membrane and also preventing them from simply merging into each other. It’s also how Novakids are able to speak; their brand vibrates to high frequency that is interpreted as an ethereal voice to others.

Novakids are slightly resistant to the heat and cold in comparison to other races, as they’re composed of plasma. They have the ability to consume and taste food to a degree, and require daily nourishments to sustain themselves.

Since they’re plasma, they aren’t affected by many of the poisons that would be lethal to other fleshy races, so scientists developed drugs specifically designed for Novakid to use for and against.

It’s also important to note that Novakids DO actually need to breathe as they feed off the hydrogen in the air, though they won’t in water. Novakids are able to survive in the vacuum of space without any equipment with minimal consequences, however staying out for too long will result in the Novakid slowly losing consciousness as they’ll start to lose their supply of hydrogen.

As Novakids approach old age, their colour will fade into a dull red and their body will expand up until death, where they become little stars.Before they become one though, Novakids usually fling themselves into space before death to prevent destroying a good size portion of a planet, and people get a nice view of a giant red Novakid flying in space sometimes. Because of this, Novakids typically treat suns with respect, viewing them as their elders. However when Novakids die prematurely (ie; getting shot), they don’t turn into little stars and instead simply wither away into nothingness.

History

Originally mindless blobs of plasma within the Furnace of a now-dead star, the First Generations of Novakid came to exist when the Cultivator granted them sentience, modelling their formless body in humanoids in likeness to the Cultivator. The Novakids were quick to developing their own civilization, advancing their technology and such, unconcerned about producing their Second Generations until the Cultivator left.

The absence of the Cultivator made it impossible for new Novakids to be produced from the Furnace of the deceased star, resulting in the First Generations turning to procreation to produce their offsprings, and teaching what they knew to them. However, as each generations came and passed, the Novakids’ memories began to wane, and so did their memories of their society. This resulted in Novakid civilization dying out as the newer generations preferred to copy and adapt to other races’ civilizations, the development of their disinterest in politics and their technology advancement ceasing almost completely.


Drugs
NitronA powerful stimulant that causes hyperactivity, but has a very short duration, often resulting in the Novakid passing out. They often come in small capsule packages.
DelugeA depressant that's able to suppress pain for a while. It's often used as pain killers for Novakids.
DaydreamA powerful narcotic that induces visual and audio hallucinations shortly after consumption and makes the consumer dazed for a while. Daydream often comes come in as powder.
Lupus DustA lethal poison specifically designed to kill Novakids. It causes the Novakid's plasma to die out and gradually spread to the rest of their body, causing slow but long lasting pain. The effects of Lupus Dust are gradual, first indicated by a loss in lumiosity and parts of the Novakid's body slowly becoming dull shades of their colour. Because of how lethal this drug is, Lupus Dust is banned from public use. As the name suggests, Lupus Dust takes the form of powders
AmiobaxA serum that's created to counter Lupus Dust, making it as the antidote to the latter. It removes the pain caused by Lupus Dust and halts the plasma destruction, however it does not regenerate the lost plasma.
HydroxonePills that encourages the natural regenerate rate of plasma. It does not cause instantaneous healing however.
