Fiction:Union of Mecholife/Members/The Meta



Meta are large, semi-humanoid, and shadowy. They have thick fur that covers their entire body, jet black in color, and brilliant colored eyes. They come complete with a single large tail, a pair of large, rabbit like ears -which are folded back against their head- and 2 large, green or blue eyes. The eyes turn red when they get angry though, so if you see one with red eyes, just back away slowly and pretend your not there. Their tail is flexible, like a monkeys, and can be used to grip things. They usually use it to grip their worldtrees, and to catch themselves if they fall (rare). Meta tend to be quiet, because they are used to be hunted on their homeworld, and as such can scare people when they suddenly turn up right next to them without a sound. They have a number of glowing spheres of light that orbit their bodies, these are their main weapons and the source of their power.

The Metamind
The Metamind is the ruler of the entire Meta species. He or she is voted in and will serve for life, or until they retire. They are chosen because they are best for the job, not because of family ties or wealth. Neither things are important to the Meta, and they know that they need someone who knows what their doing, not some dunderhead with a big wallet or a big fist.

Additive
Additive Power adds to things, allowing the creation or alteration of, well, anything. They can use this to create powerful black holes or set fire to entire planets (if given enough energy to use). However, those with only additive power cannot destroy something using it. They have no choice but to create things, or alter existing ones. However, that means they can create weapons to destroy, or change a substance's nature. For example, they could turn flesh and bone into solid stone, and then revert it back to the flesh and bone it had once been.

Subtractive
Subtractive Power takes, always and completely. With it they can cause stars to die by taking their energy, wipe out matter utterly, and even neutralize massive energy sources like black holes. Those with only this kind of power have no choice but to destroy, they cannot create things. But destruction is a powerful weapon in and over itself...
