# Magox’i The [[Species - Magox’i✅]] a humanoid species on [[Nadlee'han💭]]. The mainly live in the city of [[Nadlee’sh]] and in the [[Abyssno’sh✅]] areas close to the city, mostly in tree houses or in rooms or appartments in their [[Lupag’on]]. Their brains are shaped by an evolutionary specialization for **impulsivity, emotional amplitude, social vitality, and novelty-seeking**. In particalar, there are 4 specific neuro specificities: **1. The Ekstio-Dopaminergic Resonance System**: A merged reward–motivation circuit that combines irregular dopamine–norepinephrine surges with sensitivity to turbulent Relation’in (Ekstion’in). Motivation comes in pulses, not a steady flow. Impulsivity, creativity, emotional swings, and sensuality ignite instantly. Ekstion’in amplifies these pulses, making Magox’i vibrant, seductive, energetic, and nearly unstoppable during Thyssi’en. Long-term planning is weak; the present moment dominates. **In short:** their nervous system runs on _emotional electricity_ and relational turbulence. **2. The Flickerband Attention Network**: A highly dynamic attention system marked by unstable prefrontal–parietal regulation. Their attention “flickers” rapidly between stimuli. They excel in scanning crowds, sensing emotional shifts, improvising, performing, and hosting. Forgetfulness, disorganization, and unfinished tasks are side effects of this design, though Magox’i remain only partially aware of their own inconsistency. Their intuitive communication style makes them charismatic, seductive, and persuasive — even when they don’t fully understand what they promised five minutes earlier. **In short:** their perception is a _dance of impressions_, not a focused beam. **3. The Social Radiance Network**: A hypertrophied limbic–prefrontal reward loop that makes social interaction itself intoxicating. Making someone laugh, welcoming strangers, flirting, performing — all release intense reward signals. They read emotional atmospheres instinctively, even when they miss details or forget context. Warmth, charm, persuasion, and dominance all come naturally; intention matters less than the _feeling_ of connection. This system is also why they make perfect hosts, callers, entertainers, marketers, and house-leaders. However, they are also hypersensitive to rejection, conflict, or tension, and can easily turn aggressive, grumpy, sad, or any other type of emotional reaction to even small negative social signals **In short:** connection hits them like a drug - and they radiate it outward. And as with all drugs - going on cold turkey turns them crazy. **4. The Volari Memory-Dampening System**: An adaptive mechanism linking the hippocampus, amygdala, and R-resonant circuits that softens or erases difficult emotional memories. Pain, shame, fear, obligation, conflict fade rapidly. They often forget promises, logistics, tasks, or lessons learned — not out of neglect, but because their brain releases anything that carries friction. This maintains their optimism and emotional buoyancy but makes them easily manipulated, chronically disorganized, and unaware of recurring harm. During Flor’een, when Ekstion’in collapses, this system overcompensates: identity blurs, motivation sinks, and they fall into [[Inermors’sigil]], the heavy torpor state. **In short:** they remember joy and connection — but pain dissolves like mist. As a consequence, they think of themselves as rather forgetful. Physically, they have evolved: - An elastic, highly muscular body, similar to a mix of gorilla and gibbon, but with much less hair - A (compared to [[Species - Humans ✅|Humans]]) enlarged face with exagerated facial features, radiating strong and clearly visible facial expressions. In some individuals, this even includes coloring marks that emphasize emotional expressions, looking a bit like full body makeup and/or tatoos - with a wide individual variation of form, size, and color. These are called [[Mago'namen]] and light up depending on the [[Relation’in✅|r-field]] - A suprisingly inviting body ordour, able to adjust pheronoms to the preferences of other individuals, making them perfectly seductive even for members of other species Simiarily to the [[Species - Abyssno’i ✅|Abyssno'i]], they have evolved a big variety of body shapes, sizes, and specific face colorings, and a richly ornamental and diverse fashion sense that consists of a big mix of types of clothes and fabrics. However, in difference to the [[Species - Abyssno’i ✅|Abyssno'i]], the variation is not individual by individual, but rather follows quickly changing fashions and subgroup affiliations. They also sometimes use clothing to express social status, e.g., [[Lupag’on]] leaders and other high status individuals using heavy coats and extravagant cuts to manipulate their silouette. Clothes are mainly designed by [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] and produced in manufactures by [[Species - Abyssno’i ✅|Abyssno'i]]. While [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] can’t perceive the [[Relation’in✅]] field, they do have an excellent sensitivity for the resulting physical and emotional states. As a consequence, they have developed cultural mechanisms that indirectly change the [[Relation’in✅|r-field]], but they do not understand why they work. As a proxy for [[Conforion'in]] states, they use the presence of visitors, the excitement of others towards messages and stories, and the offering of money. As these stimuli make them feel anticipative and excited, they will themselves change the [[Relation’in✅|r-field]] to [[Ekstion'in]], perceivable indirectly as strong joy, excitement, passion, and ability to push through. Regarding [[Jezzirion'in]], it’s the opposite. In small amounts, it causes them to feel boredom, annoyance, and activates their volari system, i.e., they become increasingly forgetfull. When exposed to pure [[Jezzirion'in]], as in the [[Flor’een]], they go into [[Inermors’sigil]] - loosing all conscious attention, feeling intense negative distress, and perceiving their body as extremely heavy and basically impossible to move. In [[Thysi’een]], this perception system allows them to intuitively sense the needs, desires, and interest of their [[Species - Ksall'i ✅|Ksall'i]] visitors and allows them to create events, interactions, meals, and shows that attract and bind them, puring in money and [[Conforion'in]] into [[Nadlee'han💭|Nadlee’han]], and activates enormous energies and ability to make things possible. There’s also a specific ability and resulting technology that they have developed based on their neurological specificities: The [[Nostri’con]], which is basically a [[Relation’in✅]] based type of social and broadcasting network that spans the entire continent of [[Ksall'han]] and the island of [[Nadlee'han💭|Nadlee’han]]. At it’s core, it’s an information transmission network based on the [[Relation’in✅|r-field]]. However, as neither [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] nor [[Species - Ksall'i ✅|Ksall'i]] can directly perceive or influence that, the [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] employed [[Species - Abyssno’i ✅|Abyssno'i]] with an [[Eidet'elu✅]] around [[Relation’in✅|r-field]] communication to create sending and receiving appliances that allow [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] to entertain over distance and [[Species - Ksall'i ✅|Ksall’i]] to watch and enjoy these products. The system functions like a mix between broadcasting and social network: Only [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] can actually send content into the network (as this requires [[Ekstion'in]]), but any species can react, comment, and discuss content (as this can be done with any type of [[Relation’in✅]]). Physically, the senders and receivers of this network are small appliances people wear on their arm-wrist that look a bit like magical smart watches (they are called [[Nostri'catsh]]). The [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] use this mainly to promote the wonders of [[Nadlee’sh]] and attract new customers with beautiful visuals, exciting shows, interesting music, and mysterious [[Eidet'naos ✅|Eidet’naos]] knowledge to discover. The content broadcasted can be text, video, audio, touch, and smell; however, they do not produce any fictional story formats. When [[Species - Ksall'i ✅|Ksall'i]] are organized in large clan like [[Arins]] and [[Species - Abyssno’i ✅|Abyssno'i]] live in individually chosen networks of likeminded individuals, [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]]‘s society is build upon small families and loosely organized groups, clubs, friendship circles, and projects. Families will usually share one tree-house until youngsters move out and venture into the world, joining a club or society, and living a relatively loose social life until they become parents. Then, for a limited time, they will form a new small familiy that dissolves again when children are old engough to venture. With their natural hosting abilites and charisma, they find it easy to form new bonds - but with their forgetfulness, they also find it quite easy to leave them. As impulsivity and forgetfulness make conflicts likely, the social life of [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] can be quite turbulent and include feudes, violoence, and intrigues. However, they never hold for long, and new bonds are made quickly go cover up old wounds. This also translates into their sexual behavior, being very promisque and intense, but not intimate. [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] love to bond physically, and they do so for a lot of purposes including attracting customers. In [[Thysi’een]], they will also expect [[Species - Abyssno’i ✅|Abyssno'i]] to do the same, sometimes resulting in toxic structures like [[Species - Abyssno’i ✅|Abyssno'i]] doing sex-work for a [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] leader against their preferences. They are quite oblivious to moral codices and pruderie of other species, however, they can become quite passionate about specific rituals and fashions around physical intimacy and create short lived sets of rules that are then quickly abondoned or forgotten. Almost all [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] are pansexual, not only across genders, but also across species, and change their sexual preferenes several times over their life. As a consequence, gender differences have eroded, and almost all individuals are non-binary with a mix of masculine and feminine features (Which is different to the [[Species - Abyssno’i ✅|Abyssno'i]] who have a very wide range of identities and gender expressions). Physically, that means that [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] have a penis and a vagina like receptive organ, and can mate with all other individuals. As overpopulation was a threat, they are not very fertile, resulting in around 2-4 children per couple. The [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] culture is very “thing” heavy. They love clothes, decoration, technological gadets, and any other items of possession, resulting in spaces to be cluttered and overwhelming. In [[Flor’een]], the [[Species - Abyssno’i ✅|Abyssno'i]] will get rid of most of these things in the [[Thesacur’an]] that have a mythological importance for the [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]]. As they do forget about the loss of these things, from their persepctive, [[Thesacur’an]] are magical gifts from the [[Kaiuree ✅]] who noursishes and supports them with everything they desire. At the age of 14, every [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] is expected to venture in a quest for a [[Thesacur’an]] called [[Thesacu’varin]] - and once they find it, the ingredients of this will form their identity, determine their profession, and even their social bonds as they go on this journey alone, but form groups and bonds over the time of the search and so usually discover a [[Thesacur’an]] in that group. The [[Thesacu’varin]] will be repeated across life as a reaction to every major life or identity crisis including the [[Inermors’sigil]]. With their naturally nurturing and care-taking dominance, [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] are usually quite generous, protective, and jovial parents, leaders, and hosts. However, they do not really perceive when they hurt other’s boundaries; mostly because of the volary system and the respective lack of cognitive empathy towards trauma and pain - they believe every pain can be overcome. As a consequence, they can also be quite harsh, dominating, manipulative, or outright forceful to get their will, resulting in the almost enslaving relationship with the [[Species - Abyssno’i ✅|Abyssno'i]], that gets only outbalanced by their forgetfulness and the intellectual dominance of the [[Species - Abyssno’i ✅|Abyssno'i]], who can easily manipulate the [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] into forgetting their own rules and structures. [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] typically think of these relationship of friendship, buddies, or even partnership, and are pretty unaware of the actual distance the [[Species - Abyssno’i ✅|Abyssno'i]] keep up. [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] live in a world of wonder, suprise, and child-like excitement. They believe the [[Kaiuree ✅|Kaiuree]] to be the creator and originator of all this, and are passionate believers in their powers. However, as writing and reading are not really important in their culture (in fact, many [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] are almost analphabets, just using the bare minimum of reading and writing to communicate with the other species), the mythology around the [[Kaiuree ✅|Kaiuree]] is quite dynamic, with topics, creation myths, and resulting interpretations of the world changing often. As they do forget about [[Inermors’sigil]] and [[Flor’een]] very quickly, each event feels like an apocalypse for them, that they interpret usually (depending on the respective social dynamics) as either a tantrum or a health problem of the [[Kaiuree ✅|Kaiuree]]. When they awake, they are quick to make up covering narratives, interpreting the phase as sleep and basically just “reinventing” their world and a signal to go on a collective [[Thesacu’varin]]. They do not know that the [[Species - Abyssno’i ✅|Abyssno'i]] play an important role in their cultural stability, as they will teach them the basic aspects of their own [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] culture in the first months of [[Thysi’een]]. And I think, with that, the [[Species - Magox’i✅|Magox'i]] are sufficiently described for this level of world building, yey :-) Let’s continute with the remaining elements in [[Cultures and species ✅]]
