[@6slyboy6] This is my WIP for the race. Tell me if it's acceptable before I continue, please :) [hider=The Ubi Vermis] Name: Ubi Vermis (Latin for worm) Flag: None [hider=Type of Governement:] Hive-Mind [/hider] [hider=Description of Governement:] All Ubi Vermis submit to the all knowing will of the Matriarch. Free will between the ubi vermis is considered taboo. [/hider] [hider=Main race: Ubi Vermis] [img]https://orig00.deviantart.net/2444/f/2010/302/e/7/bore_worm_concept_by_nicksketch-d31qqni.jpg[/img] The Ubi Vermis are a worm-like race that live within their hosts most of their lives. From the moment they exit the eggs laid by the Matriarch, they are hers to command. While mostly defenseless while outside a host, they become stronger when infecting a creature. As soon as they enter a host's body either by entering through an open orifice,an open wound or by making a small incision with their small but sharp teeth, they make their way to the host's brain and assume complete control. When the control is established, the host's body starts changing itself at DNA level and 'thus enhancing the host's natural abilities. Be them simply a greater physical strength and a higher regenerative ability or changing the host's DNA in a way that would make him a monster in the eyes of his brethren. Ubi Vermis can enter the host's body and stay in a "latent" phase for as long as the host doesn't die / make an X-ray control 'thus making the worm visible. In their natural form, a Ubi Vermis can withstand extreme temperatures (from -100°C to 150°C). They can burrow into the ground using their teeth while also being able to cut through ice and low level materials (plastic and the like). [/hider] [hider=Minority races:] Uninfected humans, Ubi Vermis that have not infected humans and Fugere Explosiva Fugere Explosiva are the first race that the Ubi Vermis infected when the first Matriarch evolved. Flying creatures that are akin to flies from Earth except for their natural ability explode at will, spewing their acid blood in a 1 meter radius and their size (big enough to be able to hold a human on their backs). [/hider] [hider=Demography:] 60% humans, 30% latent Ubi Vermis infected humans, 5% Ubi Vermis and 5% Fugere Explosiva [/hider] [hider=Religion:] The Matriarch is their Goddess [/hider] [hider=Culture:] The Ubi Vermis don't have a culture per se. Because of the Hive-Mind is their will and thought. The Ubi Vermis adapt to the culture of the hosts they inhabit so that they pass undetected.
