Fiction:Yotunian Ideom

"We live in the cold. We are barely understood by anyone. We get bullied by aliens through fire. We are nomads in the Galaxy, we are Yotun."

- People’s Governor Yefual

The Yotunians, part of the Yotunian Ideom, are a species of nitrogen-phosphorous composed beings native to the Kraw Galaxy.

Yotunians have a very weird and mysterious culture, due to their composition, but the thing that sets them apart from other aliens is their weird language, composed of voice, clicks, and gestures. Yotunians are so used to their language that they fail to comprehend most other empires’s languages. Even with translators, Yotunians are still hard to understand.

Yotunians become adults at 12 years old, they weigh an average of 60 Kg and measure an average of 1.89m. Their lifespan is 75 Years.

History
Yotunian cells started developing in Planet K’liparka 3.76 Billion years ago, swimming in liquid ammonia. As creatures, Yotunians developed a symbiosis with corals that lay in their bodies, which provide Yotunians with energy, while the corals feed off the ammonia in the yotunians’s blood. Eventually, they made ice shelters, built poles to gather yotunians, and developed their complex language. Yotunians were already United during that era.

The Yotunian Civilization age was more of a technology discovery era, as they weren’t split up into factions, however, they were in only 3 cities. More came afterwards. During this time, they experimented with early technology, however, the heat produced from them caused some yotunians to die – the technology had to be replaced.

After 100 years, in -1099 KRE, yotunians found cold light technology and analog technology, meaning they invented analog computers, which are a business thing in yotunian society, and they could finnaly illuminate their dark cold worlds. However, they were threatened by the constant warming of K’liparka. People were dying of heat by the thousands, which then became tens of thousands.

They built their spaceships out of the same cold technology they had before, and the Yotunians moved all of their people away from K’liparka in -1001 KRE, however, some flew apart from the main fleet, thus the Yotunian Ideom was now splintered.

In -812 KRE, an empire known as the Kolzakian Daak Rulership found the yotunians, and tried to contact them, however, neither could catch each other’s langauge. So the Kolzakians went to their planets and started terrorizing the Yotunians, melting their ice buildings and generating overall terror.

15 Years later, the Yotunians secluded themselves underground, their last act was propelling K’liparka back to its original orbit, cooling the planet. Now that the Kolzakians could not bully them anymore, they remained in peace for 1200 years, until they re-emerged, in 403 KRE…

Culture
Yotunian culture is considered the most alien in the Kraw Galaxy for many reasons.

Composition and its implications
Yotunians live in extremely cold environments, in temperatures around -75 to -85 Celsius. If they are put in hotter temperatures they roast and then burn. This also makes Yotunians slow minded, so they perceive the rest of the Universe as being too fast. (Just as Humans perceive bugs to be too fast)

Yotunians speak a language called “D’omzhm’ani”, a language that uses voice, clicks and physical gestures. This language is the hardest in the Kraw Galaxy for many reasons.

Yotunians drink Liquid ammonia, which is toxic for every other living thing. Yotunians don’t need to eat, as they are in symbiosis with algas in Corals, which provide them with energy, in exchange for ammonia in the Yotunians’s blood.

Yotunians spend their energies very quickly due to their composition, so they fall asleep quite often. It is common for shop owners to fall asleep while waiting for customers, so Yotunians often wake them up. Yotunians also often smell terribly bad due to their composition.

Yotunian ilumination is done by cold light. All their broadcasting and computer equipment is analogic. Yotunians still have Slower than light propulsion, however, some empires are planning to help them get FTL propulsion technology. Yotunian transports use Alkalines to corrode the ice in the roads, so the vehicles will slide. Yotunian architecture is often made of ice.

General Culture
Yotunians are lead by 16 people rather than just one. These 16 people have equal powers over all Yotunians. Should one of the leaders die, a new one is chosen by the other leaders. If all are killed, anarchy will happen.

There are no Yotunian Schools, instead, Youtnians are taught all they need by their parents. This leads to hereditary jobs.

Yotunians join the army if they want to. In the army, called the “defense zone”, Yotunians are not trained, but expected to know how to defend the Ideom.

Yotunians are not arrested upon doing crimes, they are just forbidden from leaving their home. There are no death penalties, as that is considered “wrong” in Yotunian society.

Yotunians often shout “Haag!” before starting to talk. This is so that the recipient can listen and see the Yotunian to comprehend him. This is the only word that does not require a gesture to comprehend. Megaphones and Analog screens are used at the same time for announcements.

Yotunians never play sports. Instead, they play intellectual games, such as Kpylpo, which involves 121 squares and triangle pieces, and they must try to get their triangles to cover the other player’s triangles, eliminating them. The game ends when a player has less than 3 triangles.

Yotunians count in 11s, being called 11-base counting, so 10 is actually 11, 0A is 10, A0 is 110, AA is 120, and 100 is 121 in Yotunian 11-base counting.

Religion doesn’t exist in Yotunian society because they never needed it.

Empire Size
The Yotunians currently have 1787 Colonies in the whole Kraw Galaxy, being scattered around many regions and cold Hydrogen planets.

Military and Technology
Yotunians join the army if they want to, though they are not trained, but expected to know how to defend the Yotunian Ideom. They are also expected to know how to build weapons and Pilot spaceships. To-be soldiers often study alone or are taught by military parents. Yotunians have a wide range of alien technology, including:


 * Analog Computers
 * Cold light Technology
 * Alkaline sliding technology
 * Slower than Light Technology
