After recovering my floating island, the Digital Citadel, I have reorganized my life. This journal have served many other purposes for me in this world. And now, it shall have its most definitive use as I gather intel of this world.
Gaia changes since my last visit. Changed a lot. And nothing shows those changes in a better way than its sentient race. The Gaians.
Being "Gaia Online" a multiverse - an universe made by an unique composition of reality layers - their most numerous and notorious have unique traits. The Gaians - or as a friend categorized then scientifically, Personae Sapiens - are adaptable creatures that can fit thenselves in any sort of enviroment, be it living confortable regular lifes, or be it gathering incredibles amounts of power. In all aspects, Gaians are humanoid creatures, incredibly similar to the Humans, but there are a few traits that makes then different by far. Here is a list of their traits:
- Gaians are born conscious. They seem to spawn in the world in a certain age. Their level of conscience and inteligence differs, but kids haven't been seen around public areas. A few orphan children have appeared some years ago, but their origins don't explain anything;
- Gaians are fashionistas. They express thenselves by their wardrobe costumes. Some tend to change their clothes according to the situation, or remains with the very same for every ocasion. Some even change it daily. The major part of its society economy spins around the dressing artifacts, takes as a sign of power, status and achievement by the majority of the race. While is highly debatable if this is a racial or merely a cultural characteristic, it is impossible to separate this costume from the very definition of the Gaians;
- Gaians have volatile emotions. They tend to exhibit their feelings in the most noticable ways. This leads to three common behaviors of the Gaians: the theatrical acts, the excited actions and the extreme social necessities.
The first leads to many Gaians acting like different persons in many circunstances or taken a dramatical choice in their words and actions to enhance anything they do. The second behaviors signs to the extremes the Gaians may reach. It is not like they are uncapable of rational dialogues and conversations, but their feeling can easily take the best of them, making most of Gaians somewhat complaining and exagerated. The older the Gaian gets, more control he gains over those elements. The third behavior takes the standart social behavior of sentient minds and take it to a new level, as Gaians tend to form groups around simple subjects and pack together for years and years, eventually changing to other subjects. The common point in all the three behaviors is that they show clearly how Gaians are devoted to their own feelings and personality;
- And finally, Gaians are distinct shapeshifters. The Gaians can change into a huge array of shapes. Sometimes, they can change in a blink of an eye, or take a semi-permanent change. Usually, those shapes are so distinct that they should be considered different species, but the Gaians are uniques: regardless of how strange, bizzare and different they are from each other, their other traits remains, showing that they remain Gaians. So, the Gaian species have the most variable number and kinds of races, and any Gaian can become any of then, at anytime.
Obviously, there is a lot more about Gaians than merely four traits. In fact, as I mentioned, some of those traits might be merely caused by their social structure, and not by their true biological composition. But their biological shapeshifting structure is their. They can be zombies, vampires and zombies, following completely their regular needs and traits, or ignoring then completely. It is such an interesting subject that require an journal entry only for it.
It is late, and my Citadel is floating through a storm. Its defenses are not completely recovered, and I must take preventive measure to secure my home for this night. As soon as I can, I shall come back to this work.
Halloween is taking too long to leave, and Gaia remains strange...
