Species:
Main) - Cosmic
No matter the coloration or the biological form, all members of this species are referred to as a Cosmic. The title was initially given to this species due to their overall appearance, given that the majority are easily mistaken for the very environment of the galaxy. Key trademarks of this breed include a gelatinous body, a glowing body/color pattern, and extreme intelligence.
Read on to learn more detailed information about this alien species.
Sub Groups) - Coloration
Contrary to any assumptions, coloration does not disctate the gender of a Cosmic. Temperature does. As such, temperature will naturally dictate the possible elemental attributes of a Cosmic.
Continue reading to view coloration information of the Cosmic.
- Red
A red Cosmic is defined and known not by a red body, but by the color of its glowing stardust pattern. Given that the starting material of a Cosmic is always composed of dark space matter, a coloration pattern can easily be differed from the body itself. However, under proper circumstances, and over the required amount of time, the body itself can shift from black, to red. Even then, the markings will still be noticeable due to the glow that they give off. In such case, they are dubbed as a Bloodborne Cosmic. The coloration itself is usually deep in shading regardless of whether or not it is of the body or of the pattern, which easily prevents any mislabeling of orange. Both males and females can be red in color, as can Cosmics that have taken on unique biological formations.
- Blue
A blue Cosmic is defined and known not by a blue body, but by the color of its glowing stardust pattern. Given that the starting material of a Cosmic is always composed of dark space matter, a coloration pattern can easily be differed from the body itself. However, under proper circumstances, and over the required amount of time, the body itself can shift from black, to blue. Even then, the markings will still be noticeable due to the glow that they give off. In such case, they are dubbed as an Azural Cosmic. The coloration itself can be light or dark in tone, creating effects that can be described as neon, or ghostly. Both males and females can be blue in color, as can Cosmics that have taken on unique biological formations.
- Yellow
A yellow Cosmic is defined and known not by a yellow body, but by the color of its glowing stardust pattern. Given that the starting material of a Cosmic is always composed of dark space matter, a coloration pattern can easily be differed from the body itself. However, under proper circumstances, and over the required amount of time, the body itself can shift from black, to yellow, or gold. Even then, the markings will still be noticeable due to the glow that they give off. In such case, they are dubbed as a Solarburst Cosmic. The coloration itself can be light or dark in tone, creating effects that can be described as electrical, or sun-like. Both males and females can be yellow in color, as can Cosmics that have taken on unique biological formations.
- Orange
A orange Cosmic is defined and known not by a orange body, but by the color of its glowing stardust pattern. Given that the starting material of a Cosmic is always composed of dark space matter, a coloration pattern can easily be differed from the body itself. However, under proper circumstances, and over the required amount of time, the body itself can shift from black, to orange. Even then, the markings will still be noticeable due to the glow that they give off. In such case, they are dubbed as a Sunset Cosmic. The coloration itself can be light or dark in tone, creating effects that can be described as fiery, or hot. Both males and females can be orange in color, as can Cosmics that have taken on unique biological formations.
- Green
A green Cosmic is defined and known not by a green body, but by the color of its glowing stardust pattern. Given that the starting material of a Cosmic is always composed of dark space matter, a coloration pattern can easily be differed from the body itself. However, under proper circumstances, and over the required amount of time, the body itself can shift from black, to green. Even then, the markings will still be noticeable due to the glow that they give off. In such case, they are dubbed as a Wildform Cosmic. The coloration itself can be light or dark in tone, creating effects that can be described as leafy, or natural. Both males and females can be green in color, as can Cosmics that have taken on unique biological formations.
- Pink
A pink Cosmic is defined and known not by a pink body, but by the color of its glowing stardust pattern. Given that the starting material of a Cosmic is always composed of dark space matter, a coloration pattern can easily be differed from the body itself. However, under proper circumstances, and over the required amount of time, the body itself can shift from black, to pink. Even then, the markings will still be noticeable due to the glow that they give off. In such case, they are dubbed as a Romantic Cosmic. The coloration itself can be light or dark in tone, creating effects that can be described as calming, or powerful. Both males and females can be pink in color, as can Cosmics that have taken on unique biological formations.
- Purple
A purple Cosmic is defined and known not by a purple body, but by the color of its glowing stardust pattern. Given that the starting material of a Cosmic is always composed of dark space matter, a coloration pattern can easily be differed from the body itself. However, under proper circumstances, and over the required amount of time, the body itself can shift from black, to purple. Even then, the markings will still be noticeable due to the glow that they give off. In such case, they are dubbed as a Toxicity Cosmic. The coloration itself can be light or dark in tone, creating effects that can be described as toxic, or possessive. Both males and females can be purple in color, as can Cosmics that have taken on unique biological formations.
- Black
A black Cosmic is typically defined as a member of the race who has yet to reach adult age. Going by terms of Earth time, it takes an average of 60 years to reach adulthood. Age itself is not used to determine whether or not an individual is an adult, but rather, as an estimate of how long it takes to reach that stage. A Cosmic reaches adulthood once its glowing, colored markings appear. This happens only after a specific amount of active energy has been stored within its dense frame. This amount has been dubbed as twice that which is needed to power Las Vegas - an assumption of 16,000 Megawatts. Said energy is believed to be what causes the glow of their colored markings. However, in the rare event that a Cosmics markings are also black, a being described as the Phantom Cosmic is formed. These members sport markings that, rather than glow, absorb surrounding light. It is unknown what triggers this anomaly, but it is believed that these individuals spent a majority of their time feeding off of the energy provided by nearby black holes.
- White
A white Cosmic is defined and known not by a white body, but by the color of its glowing stardust pattern. Given that the starting material of a Cosmic is always composed of dark space matter, a coloration pattern can easily be differed from the body itself. However, under proper circumstances, and over the required amount of time, the body itself can shift from black, to white. At times like this, it is very difficult to spot the glowing pattern on the Cosmic. This is because white naturally stands out in space, so the body itself may seem to glow. Regardless, those with both white marks and white bodies are dubbed as a Starlight Cosmic. Both males and females can be white in color, as can Cosmics that have taken on unique biological formations.
- Mixed
A mixed Cosmic is defined in multiple ways. In some cases, the term is applied to an individual whose markings hold multiple colors of varying shades. At other times, it is used to describe a Cosmic whose body is a completely different color than their markings - but this is only applied to those who have lost their initial dark coloration. An example being a Cosmic who has consumed enough red material to turn their body red, while their colored markings are green. Affectionate names can be applied to a mixed Cosmic, but none have been made official.
Alternate Forms) - Natural Biological Forms
The Cosmic are unique with their ability to change their biological states. Given that the material they consume is not used as nourishment, but often times as a means of replacing unwanted components of their bodies. Certain individuals will opt to replace every portion of their original matter, which can take thousands of years given their density.
Continue reading to learn of the alternate biological forms that a Cosmic can take on over time.
- Rock
A rock Cosmic is defined as an individual of the species that has primarily consumed asteroids, or other mineral forms of space debris over the course of its existence. These beings can come in any of the typical colors of their species, and they have the capability of using abilities not found in the basic members of the breed. While their bodies are still gelatinous, they have developed the ability to convert the outermost area of themselves into stone. Thickness of this stone will vary depending on the size of the individual, as well as the reason behind them literally becoming petrified.
When behaving in this way, the stone shell of the Cosmic will crack and grind with every movement of the core. This stone shell provides another ability that the common Cosmic lack: physical sharpness. These Cosmic need not rely on their ability to wrap around a threat in hopes of dissolving and killing them. Instead, they are able to form pointed stone structures, which can be used to impale a target. Such is a highly desirable ability at times. Males and Females can take on this form.
- Ice
An ice Cosmic is an individual of the species that has primarily consumed water - while at the same time being constantly exposed to chemicals that cause freezing. An example being liquid nitrogen, or dry ice. This unique and unusual mixture of exposure and diet results in a being that can freeze itself - or a threat - at will. While the core of an Ice Cosmic will remain in a constant gelatinous state, their outermost area is typically decorated in frozen patches. This is an uncontrollable dilemma which cannot be undone. They can, however, control how much of their body will continue to freeze should they need to brawl. Males and Females can take on this form.
They can freeze over and become living weapons, which are capable of impaling and freezing any living threat on contact. Albeit, these abilities harbor little use when put up against an enemy Cosmic. This development can only really harm living beings who harbor an organ structure, or creatures who need high levels of heat to survive. Only Males can take on this form.
- Fire
A fire Cosmic is an individual of the species that has primarily consumed super-heated substances throughout their existence. The most noted example being an individual that will approach a small star to devour its flames, or absorb its heat. Fire Cosmics are unique in form, given that their gelatinous bodies are constantly alight with heat. They literally radiate flame. If not for their distinct gravitational fields, these flames would likely flail about their bodies endlessly. The only unique means of a fire Cosmic attacking an enemy revolve around its heat. Few beings are able to withstand the extreme temperatures, and fewer have a means of safely containing them.
As such, those attacked by a fire Cosmic are likely to die from the heat alone. More unfortunate beings will be snagged and burned alive. Only Females can take on this form.
- Water
A water Cosmic is an individual of the species that has primarily consumed water throughout its existence. Only while in this form will a member of this species be transparent, and resemble that of a typical slime in terms of appearance. Their glowing markings will remain, giving an almost magical effect to the aquatic Cosmic. This form of biology is not known to offer any real advantages in terms of fighting. As such, it is unknown why such a form exists in the first place. Males and Females can take on this form.
- Metal
A metal Cosmic is an individual of the species that has primarily consumed metallic substances and alloys throughout its existence. This results in the being taken on a form that is quite akin to murcury, or any liquid form of metal. Color can help determine how the metal might look once incorporated into the gelatinous body. As such, they come in many bizzar looking forms. In terms of fighting, the metal Cosmic is yet another form that is capable of becoming sharp in order to harm enemies. It does so by compressing areas of the body into a point, and striking. A very good skill in terms of war against enemy beings. Males and Females can take on this form.
Creature Type:
Inorganic. The Cosmic has been playfully dubbed as the 'Space Goo', or the 'Galactic Slime' as a result of their overall composition, and certain traits. Very much like a slime, their bodies are highly mobile and lack anything akin to an organic organ or skeletal structure. They absorb objects or substances that are sucked into their body, and they portray extreme levels of intelligence despite completely lacking a brain. Some describe a Cosmic as 'A powerful mind which inhabits an inorganic body in order to thrive for eternity'.
However, unlike other Slime creatures, the Cosmic is not transparent. Nor are their bodies composed primarily of water. Most - if not all - of a Cosmics body is composed of space material. A hefty portion of it being mineral or stone based. Less than one percent of a Cosmics overall mass consists of water - unless they have taken on a separate composition type. As such, how a Cosmic manages to keep its body in a gelatinous, fluid-like state is unknown. Such may simply be hidden for all of time as a result of their age, and unknown place of origin.
Gender Forms:
Male) - Male Cosmics are not unique in color. They do not sport any noticeable genetalia. The only differences between they, and females, are temperature. Males thrive on negative energy. They thrive on the negative charges of atoms, and are hence believed to be the very essence of dark energy itself. Sometimes described as being composed of anti-matter, male Cosmic are cold beings in terms of temperature. Albeit, personalities have been known to be warm.
Female) - Female Cosmics are not unique in color. They do not sport any noticeable genetalia. The only differences between they, and males, are temperature. Females thrive on positive energy. They thrive on the positive charges of atoms, and are hence believed to be the very essence of light energy itself. Sometimes described as being composed of pure-matter, female Cosmic are warm beings in terms of temperature. Similar has been said about them in terms of personalities.
Habitat Forms:
Basic) - Space
The Cosmic are beings which primarily inhabit the limitless expanse of space. They roam the cosmos freely, moving around in a manner which perfectly portrays their fluid forms. Often times they do not take a form that can be recognized as living. Much like a flatworm or an eel, they move about without much care. Their free rang motion only stops when they desire rest, so to speak. They will allow their bodies to fall still while their minds remain entirely active. As such, they become nearly invisible due to lack of movement.
Alternate) - Inhabited Planets
The constant travels of a Cosmic often leads to them coming across planets that harbor life. In which case, there is chance of them deciding to spend extended periods of time there - or even stay there long enough to perish. As such, any one of these planets because an alternative, or secondary home, to a Cosmic.
Anatomy:
There is little to describe when it comes to the overall anatomy of a Cosmic. They are, inorganic creatures. Their bodies lack bones. They do not harbor organs, or muscles. They lack eyes, ears, noses, and mouths. Despite all of this, they can hear. They can smell. They have a sense of touch, and will consume food even though they do not need it.
Read on to learn exactly how a Cosmic retains the senses of living beings while lacking the basic equipment to do so.
- Sight
Despite lacking eyes, the Cosmic are indeed capable of seeing. In fact, they completely lack a blind spot in terms of this. The entire outer area of the Cosmic is capable of seeing. As such, they harbor a full 360° bubble of sight that can expand in any direction. The unique abilities of their minds allow them to live and cope with this as if it were a complete natural state of being. What is most unique about their ability of sight is how it functions. Despite being a gelatinous mass of substance, the Cosmic do indeed have a front and back - along with a top and bottom - side. The best way to tell which area is which is to simply watch it move.
A Cosmic will only travel forward. This is because their front size can view everything in what could be described as high-definition sight. The front air can see colors, textures, and capture important details of a being or object. This amazing vision become gradually grows more mediocre the farther along the body. The back end can see, but vision is distorted and blurred. Images appear in black and white with only a handful of details - such as body or facial outlines - being visible. This is more or less the result of a 'I don't need to know what's behind me, I already know what was there' mindset. Their focus is primarily on what lies directly in front of them.
As is, it's not a matter of what they can see. It's a matter of what they will pay attention to. Such as other Cosmic, objects of interest, possible allies, established threats, and so on. The type of interest will determine the behavior. All is a matter of perspective.
- Touch
This sense is the one that is most understandable in terms of the Cosmic. Their frames are fluid, but still dense enough to be touched - and to touch. They can determine hot from cold despite lacking the ability to be harmed by temperature. There is little that needs to be stated.
- Sound
The mind is the Cosmics means of hearing and speaking. Most of their communication is through telepathy. They can recognize the voices and minds of other members of their race. At the same time, they are capable of mimicking any noise that they hear. This gives them the ability to communicate with any and every living being that exists - with the aide of their rapid learning abilities. Voices are used in place of telepathy in order to keep from damaging the minds of lesser beings. Albeit, the use of a voice is unusual given a lack of vocal chords, but such is nothing new when it comes to any creature that can be described as a Slime. Every mind and every voice will be unique to that particular Cosmic.
- Smell
Yet another sense that a living mass of inorganic material should not logically harbor. Only a specific portion of the Cosmic is capable of catching on to smells. That area is only found on the portion of the body that will face front. How they can sense smells at all is unknown, and all in all, no verbal explanation has proven to be understandable.
- Taste}
The Cosmic claim to have a sense of taste, though this cannot be proven to be true or false. The ability to read minds and sense emotions allows them to automatically know how offered items will taste to another being. Perhaps they only believe that they have a sense of taste, and imagine how the substances of space might be flavored. Chanced are just as well that they can legitimate sense taste and, will sense, crave specific items which make them experience euphoria. Such things may never be fully known as fact or fiction when it comes to them.
Body Description:
The Cosmic harbor a very unique pattern that has yet to be portrayed elsewhere. They are capable of altering the very biology of their body to mimic other creatures on a cellular level. Only a handful of atoms - which can only be detected with the most advanced of space-age technology - can be detected in every cell. These atoms hold the key to these transformations.
Read on to uncover the mystery of Cosmic Transformation.
Natural State) - The Natural state of the Cosmic is that of an inorganic, gelatinous being that lacks the ability to become physically sharp. Their bodies start out dark and without color, and usually take on a glamorous glow after so many years pass. No one element seems to be dominant in their bodies. A Natural Cosmic is described as a soft bodied, gel like being similar to a Slime. However, touching them proves that their bodies are neither wet nor sticky. Temperature is dependant on gender.
Alternate Composition) - The Alternate state of the Cosmic is that of an inorganic, gelatinous being which has a body that is composed of a specific set of elements. An Alternate Cosmic is described as a soft bodied, gel like being similar to a Slime. Some have the ability to become shark for the sake of attacking an enemy. Some can become completely solid, like a stone. Others are so hot or so cold that no mortal man could dare to touch one without fear of serious harm. Temperature is dependant on gender.
Semi-Transformed) - A Semi-Transformed Cosmic is a unique state of being in which they have partially transformed into another lifeform. How this might look will be dependant on what the creature was in the process of changing into. Often times, a Semi-Transformed state is both organic and inorganic. This partial transformation removes specific traits found in a natural Cosmic - such as a lack of organs or genetalia - while granting them traits of that which they were trying to mimic.
Telepathy and the inability to age or suffer from an illness are retained, as well some of their shapeshifting abilities. In counter effect, the being will be susceptible to death as a result of extensive injury or starvation. The markings and glow of their natural state are often retained, if only partially and only on certain places on the body. In this state, gender will no longer define the temperature.
Transformed) - The Transformed state of a Cosmic is where the alien will be completely unrecognizable as what it is. They lose almost all of their abilities. In this state they can age, starve to death, succumb to illness, and even breed with other beings. All is dependant on what they have become. The change is in effect on a cellular level with only a handful of atoms in every cell remaining Cosmic. These atoms are the key to reversing the transformation. The only lasting physical evidence of a being being Cosmic will be seen come a full moon, an eclipse, or anything that results in the breeching of a planets atmosphere.
This evidence is a vibrant glow that will be emitted from the body of the fully transformed Cosmic. As is, the key abilities that are retained are telepathy, and constant absorbsion of information. They will be able to communicate with any living being, and will often hold a desire to experiment. Temperature will not an indicator of gender. Genetalia will be present.
Behavior:
The Cosmic are complex beings with a number of interesting behavior traits that are not portrayed in other slime beings.
Continue reading to learn of these various behaviors.
Feeding)
While Natural Cosmic do not need to eat, they technically do so. The information below briefly describe their feeding habits.
- For Growth
In terms of growth, a Cosmic exands its size by absorbing desired material from substances found throughout space. Be it the minerals of an asteroid, the fluid of water, or raw energy from a surrounding star, they do eat. Objects are enveloped in the body and rapidly absorbed on a cellular level. No matter the size, no matter the density, solid matter can be reduced to nothing in a minimal amount of time. This absorbed material is used to add size to their bodies. Why do they seek to grow when it has no effect on lengthening their life? For the sake of breeding.
Excess material will later be used to create offspring. If not that, then it will be recycled. Unwanted material is disposed of after a certain amount of time. These unwanted substances are compressed under high pressure, then simply released from the body. One knows that a Cosmic is eating or releasing food based upon whether or not it has formed a spherical shape, or if there appears to be a large limp in the body. They are prone to carrying unwanted material for extended periods of time. The reason behind this is unknown.
- For Energy
This is something that the Cosmic do constantly and without control. Such is their literal means of survival. Every physical object or substance in the universe harbors energy. All atoms produce these less than microscopic levels of pure, raw, and constant power without stopping. This is the key to the life of a Cosmic. They can naturally absorb this energy, and do so on an endless level. Such is what keeps the beings functioning. This is also what triggers growth into adulthood. A Cosmic cannot breed prior to reaching this stage, because until becoming an adult, they lack the ability to expell unwanted energy or matter. Thanks to the endless supply of energy, a Cosmic can never starve. They will never cease to exist. They will continue to thrive - in terms of existence, and reproduction.
Mating)
Like most other living beings, the Cosmic have developed a unique means or reproduction. This is their means of keeping their race abundant. Albeit, it is an unusual one that does not seem to resemble intimate intercourse at all. Continue onward to learn of how the Cosmic reproduce.
- With Other Cosmic
The mating habits of the Cosmic are unique and seemingly platonic in terms of emotion. When an able male and female meet, they will begin an intricate dance. The two will circle, drawing near enough to touch one another, only to pull apart. Around and around they will spin. They will offer a soft and intimate touch, only to pull away a moment after. This can go on for days before mating will take place. The touches will become longer. They will grow more intense. Eventually one will be unable to tell the body of the male from that of the female. This is when breeding will take place. The act itself lasts hours.
Excess material and energy from both the male and the female will be forced into the center of their unified bodies. Like a temporary womb, the parents provide a safe place for their offspring to thrive. The high pressure and mixture of matter and energy create a dark bodied, genderless being that will be up to 1/3 the size of either parent. Once the child is conceived, the parents pull apart to release them into the expanse of space. From there, the family may spend up to a ten years together, before all go on to resume their solitary lives.
- With Other Lifeforms}
The Cosmic can only mate with other being's while in a partially transformed, or fully transformed. Any mating habits will have changed depending on what they have become, and what they are trying to breed with. Regardless, offspring will be born as one of two things. Those matching the gender of their Cosmic parent, will be Cosmic - just one that is already transformed. Those matching the gender of their non-Cosmic parent, will simply be more powerful versions of that being. Telepathy and minor shapeshifting abilities are often present in these mixed, non-Cosmic young.
Travel) - The Cosmic are known for one well noted behavior. Their knack for exploring. Various galaxies, hundreds of planets, the endless expanse of space. A single Cosmic will instinctively set out in search of something. None know what that thing is, but it often leads them to inhabited planets. Those who settle into a world, transform, and willingly die are believed to be the ones who find what they were after.
Social) - Very
Although the Cosmic are primarily solitary beings, they are extremely social once they come into contact with other beings. Among their own species, they form temporary families after breeding. Not out of need, but from simple desire. Their ability to sense and understand emotions makes them keen on making friends. More can be said about their social behavior. Read on to find out what there is to know.
- With Other Cosmic
When it comes to interactions with other members of their species, the Cosmic are both complex and predictable. When and male and a female meet, their near immediate response is to mate. The begin their dance, mate, produce a child, and often times spend a hefty amount of time together as a family. The average amount of time that these three unit families will remain intact is at an average of 10 Earth years. However, in rare occurrences, one pair of mates will refuse to separate after siring a particularly strong child. In which case, they remain together for the sake of consecutive breeding. In which case, the male becomes highly protective of the female, and vice versa.
In cases where a mated pair become long term, or permanent life mates, hostility can easily form between they and other members of the species. Females will fight to protect their males, just as males will battle to protect their females. These fights sometimes, but but do not always, result in death. Brawls between Cosmic usually consist of two or more individuals seeking to harm the other by partially consuming them. This cannibalism results in tremendous pain, and is often enough to bring battles to an end long before death can occur. During fights, individuals will attempt to engulf one another. The first to flee will be deemed to loser. When neither are willing to back down, the first to surround and consume their enemy becomes the victor. This brings about the death of the loser.
Parents are often protective of their offspring while around them. The earliest years of a newborns life are difficult, because excessive stress can result in something commonly referred to as Sudden Death Syndrome. As such, even though young are perfectly capable of caring for themselves from the day of their birth, the emotional comfort provided by the very presence of their parents can give them a greater chance for survival. This is likely why families will remain together during the first few years of their offsprings lives. In some cases, the offspring will follow one of their parents for an extended amount of time even after the family separates. These young will remain alongside their parents for up to 100 Earth years.
Extra) - Although most battles between Cosmics revolve around attempts at consuming one another, when one - or both - are unwilling to perish without taking out all nearby enemies, a self destruct can be triggered. During this, all energy trapped within a Cosmic body is compressed, and quickly becomes unstable. The resulting explosion (females) or implosion (males), is often equal to that of the death of a star. All is dependant on how much energy is housed within an individual. In these cases, should the would be winner house less energy than the suicidal loser, they will be completely destroyed. If they are lucky enough to house more energy, then they hold a chance of survival.
Albeit, up to 99% of their total body mass can be destroyed, and only the extra energy can be salvaged. In which case, the damaged individual loses the ability to breed and is forced back into a juvenile stage. They must restart their energy and material absorbsion to return to their former state.
- With Other Lifeforms}
How a Cosmic interacts with beings outside its own race is completely dependant on the emotions that are sensed. If a non-Cosmic lifeform portrays curiosity, affection, fear, or confusion, the galactic being is likely to approach them in an non-threatening, playful manner. This behavior is meant to show that a Cosmic does not attack without reason. Fear is an indicator that trust has not been earned, and as such, the being will behave in a docile manner to create a sense of security. Curiosity is viewed as goo, because it shows that this unknown being seeks to learn from the Cosmic, who would eagerly learn from them. These encounters can last only a few hours, or until the non-Cosmic opts to leave.
In some more known incidents, a Cosmic will take to following their newfound friend around for months, years, or even a lifetime. All is dependant on the emotions portrayed between the two. When a first encounter revolves around emotions that can be viewed as hostile, such as anger, then the Cosmic will react accordingly. In most cases, they will proceed to light up. These beings can use pent up energy to bring about split second changes in color. As such, they can flash in ripples of bright colors, much like a sea squid. These flashing colors can be meant as a warning (vibrant colors) or to calm (cold colors).
The vibrant colors are used as a means of discouraging an attack, while the cool colors are used to calm an aggravated individual. Should this work, then they encounter may go on to lead to friendship, or an understanding that the Cosmic need not be made into an enemy. If this fails, and the galactic being is attacked, then they are likely to lash out. It is rare for deaths to occur without the threat being deemed extremely dangerous. The more dangerous the threat, the more extreme the assault. An individual may self destruct for the sake of eliminating a threat and protecting the other members of its species.
In Captivity) - Docile and Well Behaved
While forcing a Cosmic to remain in a specific location can be costly, they can be brought into captivity. Befriending or earning the trust of these Space Goo can coax them into remaining near, or even living with an individual for extended periods of time. This is the easiest means of bringing a Cosmic into captivity, where they can be safely studied and questioned. Most are eager enough to answer questions or experience the way that other beings live. In which case, they may even transform - partially or fully - to better partake in this experience.
Forcing a Cosmic into captivity is more difficult and can spur issues. A powerful field of energy, wind, or gravity must be maintained in order to prevent a Cosmic from escaping. They cannot escape from a surface that they cannot absorb. Using glass coated with a strong electrical current can also be used to contain them. The issue with this is that the Cosmic will grow hostile. Sensing that they cannot leave and that their captors are a clear threat, they are likely to self destruct. The action is a means of ensuring that other members of their race need not be put in such an unwanted position.

Death:
The Cosmic are described as virtually immortal, especially while in their natural forms. However, they are perfectly capable of dying. Usually through suicidal behaviors or as a result of homicide. They can only die of more natural causes while semi or fully transformed. Continue onward to learn of how the Cosmics meet their fate.
Natural State)
- Young
The most common form of death among juvenile Cosmics has been dubbed as SDS. Sudden Death Syndrome. Extensive levels of emotional distress has been known to cause a sudden and complete loss of their neutral energy. These deaths come with virtually no warning, and by the time said warning appears, it is far to late to prevent demise. These deaths, while tragic, are often described as being beautiful. Juveniles lack a means of causing massive destruction to their surroundings come death.
When a juvenile Cosmic reaches its end as a result of SDS, they will first become subject to a series of spasms. These spasms cause unusual ripples of monochromatic light, as well as unusual changes in shape. An individual may begin to glide upsidedown or even backwards. This monochromatic light show is the result of their neutral energy escaping their bodies. The glow will radiate around their bodies. Come the end of this dramatic death, the body of the juvenile will expand as if inflating, then burst as the final pulses of energy are lost. The leftover matter will quickly dissolve once the energy is lost, leaving behind a black cloud of space dust.
Lesser known causes of death are usually the result of cannibalism. Adult Cosmic who seek to mate but lack the material have been known to first absorb lone juveniles in order to obtain the expendable substances needed to produce a child. At this point, the unneeded neutral energy is expelled as what many call a 'light belch'. The cannibal releases the monochromatic light as a gas cloud, which will quickly disintegrate and leave nothing but darkness. This death is painful to witness, because the distress of the juvenile is often portrayed through vocalizations of pain.
- Adult
Adult Cosmic in their natural States experience more unique deaths when they meet their fate. Most of these are the result of cannibalism. Individuals who get into fights will consume one another with the expectation that their enemy will attempt to flee. In the event that this does not happen, the loser is usually fully consumed and used as breeding material later on. This is described as an agonizing means of death, because it is slow and loud vocalizations of pain will be emitted. The victor must expell the unwanted excess energy in a gas form once done consuming their enemy. The color of this cloud is usually the same as the glowing markings that had been on the deceased individual.
The other known means of death occurs when a Cosmic resorts to self destruction. The cause of this can fall into any of two specific situations. Destruction to destroy an enemy - usually another Cosmic - or detonation to protect other members of its species from a threat. Males will implode, creating a black hole should an individual harbor enough power, or if enough of them are present. This implosion creates a wave of raw energy that tends to tear surrounding objects - or beings - apart before it is sucked into the initial detonation point. If a black hole is not left behind, then the resulting inward suction of mass will create asteroids or even small planets.
A detonation from a female is a definite explosion. The outward burst of Chaotic energy can vaporive nearby objects or creatures, and reduce everything else to to rubble for miles to come. Again, the sudden relapse of the outward wave creates a suction. The heat will bind the outward rubble together. If this explosion was large enough, or caused by multiple individuals, a 'big bang' can be triggered. In blunt forms, planets may form around the nearest star. The true conditions that bring about the sudden formation of the solar system are difficult to explain, but a lot of movement and heat is involved.
These self detonations are described as beautiful from an extreme distance, but an absolute cause of the demise of anything that was unfortunate enough to be captured by the chaos.
Partially Transformed)
- Young
Deaths in this state are usually the result of extreme damage. Another being must have attacked and caused serious harm to the newly developed organ structures. Starvation or organ failure caused by lack of food can also result in demise. In this state, and 'blood' that is shed will glitter, and will be an unusual color. The color will usually be black or gray, due to lack of maturity in the individual. As an added segment, any young who have transformed will lack any form of genetalia. Such is a result of being completely genderless during the start of their transformation.
- Adult
Deaths in this state are usually the result of extreme damage. Another being must have attacked and caused serious harm to the newly developed organ structures. Starvation or organ failure caused by lack of food can also result in demise. In this state, and 'blood' that is shed will glitter, and will be an unusual color. The color will usually match that of their coloration markings.
Transformed)
- Young}
Deaths in this state are usually the result of extreme damage. Another being must have attacked and caused serious harm to the newly developed organ structures. Starvation or organ failure caused by lack of food can also result in demise. Natural cause suck as sickness can also bring about death. In this state, color of blood will match that of the species that they have turned into. As an added segment, any young who have transformed will often harbor both biological forms of genetalia. Such is a result of needing to complete their transformation while having been completely genderless during the start of it. Unable to select a gender, they go with both.
- Adult}
Deaths in this state are usually the result of old age or other natural causes thanks to the complete loss of their virtual immortality. Deaths can also occurs as a result of different extensive damage. Starvation or organ failure caused by lack of food can also result in demise. In this state, color of blood will match that of the species that they have turned into. Genetalia will match their initial gender as a Cosmic (male or female).
Origin Information:
When it comes to the exact origin of the Cosmic, none know for sure. All of the original members have perished, and seemingly did so without passing that information on to their offspring. As such, it is unknown whether they came to exist while in the Milky-way Galaxy, or in a place well beyond the reach of man. As such, there is little that can be said. An origin can only be applied to an individual who is aware o their birthplace. Not to the entire breed.
