ANCIENTS
"When a star dies it can create chaos, peace...or both, it is in such cases is where Ancients come to be"
(CLOSED SPECIES)
A legend is told about beings who are born from the death of a star:
"A very long time ago, when the Earth was still new…. There existed beings born from the deaths of stars.
From the light in the moment of death, beings of Peace,
From the light in the moment of death, beings of Peace,
and from the void of their collapse, beings of Chaos.
These beings grew in power and might at the rise of civilizations…and at their collapse
And balance was kept between them, always in equal numbers. The beings oversaw the earth together
Until, that is, that war broke out with the djinn, those made of fire
Many were lost, balance wasnt equal, the world was leaning to chaos and there was only one thing the most Ancient ones could do
Numbers had to be equal peace for equal chaos, and as such, many had to die.
In the end, only the first two were left, peace and chaos, keeping a delicate balance
,
They say Peace rests within the Earth, but Chaos roams, secretly waiting for the balance to once again tip in his favor"
Said legend is in fact, the myth of how creatures known as Ancients have come to be. A wandering species, Ancients are born when a star dies and becomes a supernova, which in turn implodes into a black hole. The energy said events exudes is enough to conceive beings from it. Ancients are always born in pairs, one from the supernova and the other from the black hole. Newborn Ancients aren't sentient, The only thing they have is a mass of light energy, or dark matter, and a single eye that serves as their singularity. This eye is the core of their being, and what keeps them alive.
So how did Ancients come to Earth if they aren't sentient when they're born?
Simple, they were attracted to the planet's possibilities to sustain life, and therefore civilization. The first two Ancients to come to earth found the planet when it was erupting and only beginning. They rested within the earths core and waited, without an actual physical form, until humans lived on its surface. Their ever growing abilities, communities, and then civilization granted them power enough to form bodies and sustain their singularities. Ancients feed off other living things energy and souls to grow, which counts them as a parasitic species.

ANCIENT LIFE CYCLE

BREEDING/ GENDERS
Ancients, although usually born from dying stars, can also mate with each other. Due to the species' need for balance, Ancients have strict rules on whom they can mate with. The most accepted pairing is Chaos/Peace, but Peace/Peace or Chaos/Chaos pairings aren't looked down on so long as there is a union of the opposite kind to complement them.
All Ancients are gender fluid, but some have preferences on what gender they like to look like, Chaos Ancients often take masculine forms, and Peace feminine, but they can switch how their bodies look like at any time.
Ancients dont breed like most creatures, they can have sex like humans, but it doesn't really result in offspring. To them sex is more of a recreational activity, and a great deal of them dont care for it. For an Ancient to create new life, it is necessary to give up a part of their singularity (aka their first eye), along with their partner's. The energy given creates a new singularity. However it takes a long time for it to become a new Ancient, or pair of Ancients. The energy is encased in dark matter or pure light energy and forms an egg of sorts. Gestation time depends on many factors, the egg requires extreme temperatures to incubate, so most get put under the earth's crust. They can also be incubated within another Ancient, while in female form, that gestation period lasts about a year.
SUBSPECIES
Ancients come in two kinds:
Peace Ancients
born from supernova, other Peace Ancients or a Peace/Chaos combo
Traits:
Made of pure light, physical forms are condensed energy, their singularity is on their physical body, any gained eyes float around their head. Usually pure white in color and emanate light constantly, they prefer well lit spaces, cold weather and gain power and energy thought flourishing civilizations. Because humans constantly grow and evolve, Peace Ancients have a bit of an advantage over Chaos ones

The current ruler of Peace is: ANTIGUA
Chaos Ancients
born from black hole created by supernova, other Chaos Ancients or a Peace/Chaos combo
Traits:
Made of dark energy, physical forms are condensed dark matter, their singularity is on their physical body, any gained eyes float around their head. Usually pitch balck in color and seem to darken any space they're in. They prefer dimly lit spaces, warm weather and gain power and energy through the chaos and collapse of civilizations

The current ruler of Chaos is: ABADDON

ANCIENT FACTS
- The more power and energy Ancients feed off, the more eyes they can gain. Full grown and purebred Ancients can gain thousands
- Ancients can only co-exist in equal numbers, for example if there are four peace Ancients, there must be 4 chaos Ancients to keep balance of power in check
- Ancients attract other Ancients, so more came to earth as the first two grew, hell more might be on their way here as we speak
- Ancients have no concept of emotions like humans do, they can only ever feel extremes.
- Ancients cannot mate with other species, but hybrids can be created, although only from humans that meet certain conditions
- The only existing Ancient hybrid is Lola
Ancients only rivals are Djinn - There are currently only two pure bred Ancients on earth
