> Phoslytes live on Phobos, Mars’s biggest moon. While they live there it’s pretty clear that they are not native from there as the moon is completely barren and not life friendly. Judging by their appearance (very pale skin, levitation capabilities and glowing hair) it would be quite possible for them to be a hybrid mix between Greys and Nordics (perhaps some Human also) that ended on one of Mars moon and built a colony there. Greys loving to conduct biological experiments, they could be the result of a very old hybridization test.

> To live on Phobos They have created huge domes. While these massive bubbles looks clear, they are actually made with their very common Amber tech. Just like with spaceship cores, these domes are much bigger inside than out.

> Earth History is a mandatory course in Phobosian school but most are not interested in it. They are not hostile toward humans, just uninterested. They are also neutral toward most other alien races. (They are a very small population so even if they wanted to be hostile they wouldn’t have the army power to do anything)

> Most Phoslytes eventually leave Phobos to find better living space as their moon is small and barren. Even if the domes are big inside, the space available is still fairly limited and creating new cores of this size for new domes is no longer possible. Any large core created these days are exclusively used for spaceships.

> Phobos and it’s inhabitant has not record of any type of wars (withing themselves or other races). They are very peaceful and diplomatic for the most part.

> Phoslytes have Pale greyish blue skin (there are some darker skinned individuals but even those are paler then how dark human can get).

> Their hair glow from the excess electrical energy coursing through their body. When weakened, sick or dead their hair do not produce any light leaving their hair jet black. Injuries can result in permanent black spots in the hair.

>The color of their hair never change since birth but it’s unclear how it’s defined as children can sport colors entirely different from their parents (A yellow Phoslyte and Green Phoslyte can give birth to a Pinkphoslyte)

> They have human-like hand but with no nails and gecko-like fingerprints. Their feet have 3 toes and the same gecko grip.

> Their diet mostly consist of plant produces as it’s harder for them to farm animals on their colony, but just like lots of herbivores from earth they will gobble meat if the opportunity is presented to them. However even if they end up somewhere than give them permanent access to meat they will limit their intake due to folktale talking of Phoslytes going mad and ravenous, corrupted by the flesh.

> They have neurocables/biocables hidden in their hair in pairs from 2 to 6 (2 being the standard and 6 being nearly unheard off anymore). They use these to plug into other lifeforms and read their emotions but only that! they can't clearly read minds and dreams! they can feel you're sad but not what you're sad about. Additionally those connected can/will feel soothed by the Phoslyte.

> The tip of the neurocables are not needles that jam themselves into a surface but the soft network of thin veins that can easily weave itself between scales and though pores. (Here's and IRL gif of what it's like when the inner cable "plug itself" into the skin: Worm and "disturbing content" warning!)

> These neurocables can also be plugged into machines as long as it has the proper ports and connectors inside. When plugged, Phoslytes can either power their device with their innate electrical energy surplus (same energy that makes their hair glow) or control the device with direct brain commands.

> There is currently no canon depiction of their genitals! but here is a semi-canon (aka you can ignore it if you want) bit of sex/gender/sexuality lore doc I made (warning for images of peepees and veevees but more in a "biology textbook" way and not a "naughty smutporn" way

Additional note: While the up to date anatomy has been show above, there are to possible alts: The one with vestigial nipples in the pelvic area (as useless as human male nipples) and a “chest core” alt.

Phoslyte have what the call Amber Technology. Despite it’s name it’s not made out of Earth Amber but some sort of squishy material that conduct and stores energy really well. It’s featured on a lot of Phobosian tools:

> Bodysuit cores: Store power, Charge devices, Emit light

> E-vac cores: Shrink and convert into data object in order to store them inside, space capacity is way much bigger than what the outer appearance may suggest

> Spaceship Mega cores: Instead of just storing everything as raw data like the E-vac, it feature an inner non-euclidean space (The inside is much bigger than the core size). There is still a mild form of data-conversion somewhere in the process even if it's not completely clear. Phoslytes being vessel full of electrical energy they have no issue with it and neither do most plants but animals from earth (human included) show sign of health deterioration when inside a core for too long (this is why maintaining fauna of Phobos is hard).

> Stasis shelves: Store stuff without shrinking/datafying them, they can be seen inside the amber. While inside their decomposition is drastically slowed (DOES NOT WORK ON LIVING BEINGS!)

> Amber Glasses: can improve one’s eye sight if faulty but are mainly a piece of tech quite similar to a smart watch as it provide the wearer informations and remind them of notable events. 

> Portable cores: Comes in many sizes, usually work like a bodysuit core if unmodified.

Shown below: Bodysuit core (top left), E-Vac core (bottom left), Stasis shelf (Middle), Ship core (right)

Another big part of Phoslyte Anatomy and technology is the biocable. As mentioned previously, they have head tendrils and they built tech around it. There are many devices they can plug into to both power and control such as instruments, computers, weapons and more.

> Echo Pups and Echo Grubs: Echo pups can easily be judged by their names: one one had they are dog-like in both behaviour and status toward Phoslyte, and on the other they use echolocation to navigate like bats. They are kind of a mix between mammal and insectoid. Adult Echo pups give birth to live-grubs (no eggs) and do initially feed their young milk (they sweat their milk, they don't have teats) until the grub grow teeth they can chew food with. Eventually the grub will pupate, spend a couple month int their cocoon before re-emerging as their adult form.

> Yoozles: Also referred to as Slimes by humans, they are gelatinous being that originate form early Amber Core technology. The very first Yooyles were pretty much core that got corrupted by Phoslite energy and became living beings. They initially were all Amber-colored by after years of breeding they now come in all kinds of colors. Some of them can still act as cores/store objects but most do not.

> Fairies: These insectoids are named after the human mythological faes but are not whatever the real fairies might be. You can however find some of these on Earth thanks to irresponsible Phoslites releasing their pet fairies into the Terran wilds. There are many subtypes of fairies:

• Pollen Fairies are the most common ones and are vastly used in the agricultural field. They are also the most docile and easy-to-care-for fairies making them common “entry pets”.
• Hunting Fairie: These aggressive fairies were one of two by-product of early simulated wildlife back when Phoslytes attempted to maintain livestock from earth. These Fairies are carnivores and mostly hunt other fairies for food or scavenge from fresh corpses.
• Tooth Fairies: These are the second livestock-experiment by-product, they feed on bones rather than flesh unlike their hinting counterparts. They are named tooth fairies since they like to take the teeth from carcasses to decorate their nests during mating season.
• Hawk Fairies: These were bread from both Hunting Fairies and Pollen Fairies to create a new species that would pollinize crops like the green fairies but also fight off the aggressive purple ones as well as other parasites. It didn't work however and they are even more aggressive than Hunting fairies. They are however very popular as an exotic pet (but hard to take care of).
• Arctic Fairies: Acclimated to cold environments, these are the only fairies that live in large hives rather than individual nests. That aside they are functionally identical to pollen fairies. Them needing to live in colder dome make them less likely to be kept as pets.

Phobos being barren, most fruits, veggies and other plants are mutated or scientifically-modified plants imported from Earth and other planets. OOC Note: some of the followings are reworked/retooled concepts from a previous work of mine. Most of them were modified to be easily farmed inside ship taking as little space as possible, especially with wall crops.

> Harpeechas: These huge heart-shaped vine fruits originate from a planet unknown to the phoslyte that was gifted to them by the Greys. They originally were small and grew in clusters like grapes but now Grow in singular units and can be as big as someone’s head. They taste like “blue strawberries”. The solid seed inside is often used to make perfume.

______________________________________

> Cocktail fruits: These hard-shelled pear-shaped fruits seem like they could be related to either bottle gourds or pears but are in fact distants cousins of the passion fruit. To eat the fruit you have to vigorously shake it to loosen and mush-up the insides, you then cut off the top and drink the smoothie inside. It tastes like a mix between peach and salted caramel.

______________________________________

> Deep Melons: These altered watermelon were modified with the same process that made passion fruits into cocktail fruits, resulting in a similar hard-shelled mutation. These can be grown either out or under water, how deep they are grown affect both their texture and taste. Melons grown out of water are firm with a very sweet “tropical sports drink” taste while ones coming from the depth are softer with a very sour “red berries mix” flair. Letting them ferment inside their own shell creates a fruity alcohol that is very popular amongst Nordics.

> Dorel Pips: Another imported fruit from a foreign plates. The insides look strikingly similar to oranges but taste nothing like it nor like any citrus fruit for that matter, the flavor is much closer to honey and roses.

______________________________________

> Arcatia Nuts: These are pretty much just very large hazelnuts. Their taste is however slightly altered, bioengineers managed to make then taste like sweetened hazelnut cocoa spread. These are their world source of “chocolate products”.

> Phoslytes write in a 26 letter alphabet that most likely evolved from human's Latin alphabet. Same goes for their numbers and Arabic numerals. It's clear that human culture was a big influence on the Phoslyte population. their spoken speech sound like a mix between slavic languages and old latin somehow. Font pack Download

> Common Adjectives related to the species:

• Phobosian: Inhabitants of Phobos. It’s common for humans to say Phobians instead but it is not correct!
• Phoslitic: Something/objects made by or originating from Phoslytes. A synonym for it is Phoslitian but it’s outdated/only used in certain dialects.
• Martian: While Phoslytes live on one of Mars’s moon they do not called themvelves Martians and are very against being called-so. It is seen as kind of a slur to them!

> Other alien design I made as part of the phoslyte universe, these concept* are F2U with proper credit _{*some of these are less species concept but more personal interpretation of mainstream species (ei: Nordics, Greys and Reptilians)}

Some have alt designs

 I will come back to this bulleting to edit some things. I might also move this to the Literature tab? idk.
