Locate new friends in the void.....

The speciesdex hosts info about the many intelligent species in the universe. A species is a group who can reasonably perform, or at least comprehend, higher action skills, such as driving a ship, building shelter, or farming. Almost all of the species here have entered the universal society one way or the other.

Marsich

Marsiches, generally, hate 'unnecessary' conflict. There have been few actual wars in known marsich history, and it is common for a marsich to try to push two enemies to become friends. This doesn't always work, of course, but marsiches seem to usually be quite pushy when trying to solve conflict. Marsiches are incredibly social creatures - while there are always exceptions, most marsiches will try to surround themselves with either people or animals.

Marsue

The marsue are "perfect." They can do no wrong, and they deserve all of your food. This is what people under the control of a marsue believe. Marsues are memory editors. Once a marsue is in range they will edit some of the memories of the person to cause them to believe that they and the marsue are friends. The marsue can do this to a few people each day, slowly taking control of an area with their forced friendship. If a marsue isn't caught in this stage, things can only get worse.

Melodico

The majority of the melodico keep to themselves, hiding among the shadows and other dark dreary locals of the universe. To any onlookers stumbling across a melodico during the night, the only thing they would notice is the glow of their eyes, and the occasional spark of electricity jumping from their bodies. They keep their attention on any and all creatures under their watchful eyes, following the will of their queen to find the most powerful creatures for use in bringing forth more melodico.

Messenger

Messengers take time out of their day to pray to their gods. This praying session mostly takes up to an hour and is usually very silent. They may not stop unless ordered to by a higher up or something of utmost importance is happening around them. Several messenger only jobs are present on Votum.

Metaparxi

The metaparxi as a species are very docile, non-confrontational creatures, with a knack for negotiation and compromise. They will do anything within their power to avoid arguments or backlash. They are known for being obedient and submissive to higher classes and anyone who might be more powerful or wealthy than they are. Despite all of these traits, they are privately sarcastic, nihilistic, and classist, with predispositions to loathe anyone that is capable of bossing them around.

Metima

Metima culture is based around their universal religion, which exemplifies beauty and perfectionism, believing that only through the endless pursuit of such can divinity be approached. The center of this religion is the Adamant Citadel, a mountain-sized piece of near-flawless diamond which is held, in its gleaming facets to be the most ultimate beauty in the universe. Into this, the central temple and seat of power in the metima hegemony is carved. This beauty is, to metimae, so great that the Citadel is thought to be divine, and it is a vile heresy for metimae or any other species to suggest otherwise.

Mettaet

When the universe met the mettaets, they were organized, vain and selfish, and after hundreds of years, the universe still believes that, which is close to what they really are. In addition to selfishness and vanity, mettaets hate any kind of garbage and will try to keep the place they inhabit extremely clean, and if the place can't be constantly cleaned, they usually leave to go anywhere else.

Mialcsem

Mialcsem vary in personality as most sentient species tend to be, though it is an almost universal constant that mialcsem tend to be extremely paranoid and fearful about anything concerning coming into contact with their head. This is an ingrained reaction borne from their juvenile form's fragility that sometimes extends to their adult one as well. It's not unusual for them to have a preference for wearing hats as some sort of psychological comfort even if the hat is too soft to actually protect them or their head is hard enough that they don't require it in any case.

Minstrae

The minstrae are natural attention seekers with high regard for their musical ability. Individual personalities usually depend on the caste or type of minstrae, as lower-class materials such as plastic within the minstrae society tend to be friendlier and more energetic, with less of a focus on conformity within their instruments caste.

Mite

The mites are a rather intelligent species, and are often deep thinking individuals. However, the intelligence of mites is often overlooked due to their limited range of communication with other species. Despite this, many mites will find jobs to utilize their intelligent thinking skills whenever possible. Space faring mites are very eager to join with crews, and will happily work any job given to them as long as it is within reason.

Monocerii

The monocerii are rather superstitious but friendly folk. Sometimes though, they can be pushy about their newest group. They are very impressionable and always open to new ideas which unfortunately includes fanatic conspiracies. Though most monocerii stick to the theory about Nevra. This has gone to a point where some select groups actively hunt down Nevra. These groups aren't only consisted of monocerii though. These groups have led to minor incidents with groups being too aggressive about getting information on Nevra's whereabouts.

Musial

Musials are often considered "laid back" and "chill" by most species that they are likely to interact with. Both of these labels are fairly accurate, given that musials are unlikely to hold a grudge against a majority of species simply by the actions of a single individual. Although this may make them simply too open for their own good at times, they'll often forgive others even if said others happen to be a constant and consistent threat to them.

Nanovvire

Nanovvire were a race of peaceful, happy-go-lucky technologists. They admired nothing more than the advancement of their species and the development of technology they felt was "cool." Many regard this as a rather cavalier attitude to go about dealing with advanced and potentially dangerous technological developments.

Nautalid

Nautalids build complex social structures within their own species, developing large family groups that include both relatives and friends. These groups, called festivals, build towns out of coral and rock on the ocean floor and among reefs, utilizing the natural formations when creating their homes. Inlays of precious metals and minerals, as well as corals and even bone, are used as identifying markers, and carvings are very common in these communities.

Nerodrake

Among themselves, nerodrakes interact on an autonomous basis, calculating their best route of support for one another without communicating. By gathering materials, reinforcing stations, and keeping other units in working conditions they ensure their individual survival, not creating or planning anything together.

N'nik

N'nik are friendly and social beings, they love being in large groups. They are very contact-oriented and have a hard time reading people's emotions without touch upon introduction, as such expect new n'nik crewmembers to be very physical when they first join, and even after they've gotten to know everyone, since they enjoy initiating cuddle piles when there is no work to be done.

Nonny Mice

An embodiment of anonymity and literal mob rule, everything in nonny mouse society is accomplished through large crowds of individuals performing tasks anonymously. It is incredibly difficult to track any one individual as they continuously move, blending in with the rest of the crowd. Jobs are not held by any singular individual, but rather filled on a rotating basis by those with the required skills.

Notail

Alone, a notail is but a simple creature, but together they are the universe's worst nightmare, and that's how they want it.

With their antennas, notails can speak to each other non-verbally to up to 20 feet away, but some can even go farther than that. With enough notails around they can create networks, allowing one notail to be able to contact another from miles away by bouncing their signals off of other notails.

Novan

Novans are generally quite friendly and do their best not to make enemies. They are extremely lax and chill, even in the face of death. Some people tend to be extremely unnerved by this drastic level of indifference, while others find it admirable. Novans are also surprisingly apologetic, and often try to help others out, examples including if someone short of points or are in urgent need of ship repairs. Most novans are at least somewhat empathic, even towards strangers.

Noxis-Noverum

Most noxis are aggressive and easily angered, often leading to fights. They are very intelligent though, having made many advances in technology.
