Dark Matter[edit]
Physical Description[edit]
Dark matter whithout a consciousness take the form of a shapless black substanse. after being shaped by a hive mind they take the form of dark sphere but when doing almost anything they take a huminoid form with 2 arms, 2 legs, jet black skin, and a single eye. phisical differences seem to depend on the type of subrace the individual is part of, for example the standerd type of dark matter posses a frill of orange petals around the "head".
History[edit]
The creaturs born from a matter most dark seem to have no begining and many have gone mad from trying to find the truth of their birth. the dark matter seem to be made of a substance that does not have a natural form and is simply bound together by a consciousness from whatever being is their master. some dark matter seem to naturaly have this mind to think and use it to create make this substance take differant forms to act as workers in a metaphorical hive although if the workers escape the "hive" then they develop a consciousness of their own.
Society[edit]
Dark matter society is a hive mind with a very specific type of consciousness originating in one body and creating many more to controll like pupets, sharing all information between them all. Some dark matter who are broken or kept away from the Hive start to develop a mind of their own, often reforming themselves to blend in with the first form of society they find and lose all the information they had as part of the hive, often spending all that remains of their life without descovering their origin.

Dark matter go without names unless the hive mind gives them one. the few that are independent take a name from the race they live among.
