History[edit]
Seedrians lived on the lush planet of Greengate, until an otherworldly threat to their survival appeared. This threat nearly wiped the seedrian race off the face of the universe. The only way that the seedrians could combat them was using something called Mover Mode, a transformation that turned them into giant monsters for offense, however, doing so cost them their lives. The only way for them to survive was to go off world and run. However, a section of Seedrians chose to stay and fight. Finding out that they could use their planet's life force to extend their Mover Mode transformation. Doing so was a huge taboo, to the point where the fleeing Seedrians bombed the planet as they left.
Doing so made enemies of the Seedrians staying behind. They had progressed their evolution, goiong beyond the large monstorous appearences they once had to slender, sleek, almost construct-like forms. They grew exoskeletons made of Adamantine, and weapons to suit. Only five surivved the fall of their home world. Those five proceeded to start up a faction called the Metarex. Togehter, they created ships to go beyond their home world and made an empire amongst the stars, creating factories for other Metarex as foot soldiers, star ships, generals and warlords. Their ultimate goal is to wipe out the universe of animalistic life, leaving only a peaceful kingdom of plantlife in it's wake.
Society[edit]
Seedrian culture is particuarly druidic in nature, due to their intrinsic connection to plant-life. While most are pacifistic, some seedrians are not above resorting to violence for the greater good. Additionally, not all plants are simply peaceful lifeforms taht do no harm. Invasive plant life, such as the Kudzu plant, grow out to unfathomable lengths and steal soil form nearby plants, taking their nutrients, and even growing above others and stealing the sunlight from them.
