Sharp buildings, sharper bodies. The ships, architecture, and people are sharpened to an extreme degree. Massive knife-like blades, built like a plane without any sense of aerodynamics, only natural flow of matter and minimization of surface area in the direction of travel. Covering asteroids like bugs on a decaying fruit, this species scavenge the metal from the asteroids they live upon, consuming it and using it, giving them a deep understanding of tool use.
History
A longer history of the species.
Society & Culture
A society built on community assistance. The years it takes to raise an egg to a child would have rendered the species extinct had they not developed a culture around protecting each other, especially the youth. A common way to show affection is to craft a beautiful shape out of metal and give it to the target for them to eat. This culture has an admiration for sharpness. To hone ones clinging-limbs to a sharp point is an attractive trait, and having sharp architecture is a projection of this attraction(Similar to phallic buildings on Earth today).
Appearance
A nest of metal spikes on one central body, hyper-sharp limbs to cling to asteroids. Metal colored with a white/silver focus as the typical coloring.
Biological Notes
Living for multiple centuries before any modern advancements in medicine, the species takes years to spawn and develop.
Traits & Abilities
Are composed of metal, with enhanced sight and complete deafness. Communicate via body language and emission of light. Are able to soder metal at room temp with physical contact, reshaping the metal.
