Cirxites of Cirxia
Natives to the plane of Cirxia, Cirxites are also known as ‘Demons’ by those native to Terra, or 'Daemons’ by those native to Angaea. Of their own species, they come in a base of seven unique different "xyntypes", differentiated by color and shape.
Cirxites are ranked biologically by the count of their horns, the count of their wings, and state of their tails, which are also tipped with the corresponding shape indicative to their xyntype. The highest rank, 'Royal’, possess three sets of horns, three sets of wings, and a hollowed tail shape. The middle rank, 'General’, possess two sets of horns, two sets of wings, and a full tail shape. The lowest rank, 'Common’, possess one set of horns, one set of wings, and a full tail shape. Each of the seven different xyntypes is culturally observed to have only one Prinxe, the title of a ruling royal, that they serve.
Cirxites are also separated by xyntype, a biological typing that determines, according to several cirxites, "how they serve their God, the Many Handed". Cirxites are required to perform their xyntypes to fulfill a certain "xyn quota", which renews every eight days as according to the individual cirxite's date of birth, and begins for each cirxite when they grow in their wings, horns, and tails, which is typically around the range of 10-14 years old. If this quota is not met at the end of eight days, the cirxite is at the risk of undergoing a state of being known as "the compelling". This state of being "compels" the afflicted cirxite to perform their xyntype until the quota spanning all eight days is completed. A cirxite undergoing the state of compelling seems to have no memory or control over their actions, which the majority of cirxites find to be an unpleasant experience. To prevent themselves from undergoing the state of compelling, cirxites of different xyntypes have built their cultures around their specific xyntypes, intended to help each individual cirxite reach their xyn quota and to prevent themselves from undergoing the state of compelling as much as possible.
Cirxites of differing xyntypes seem to be able to bear children of their two xyntypes, known colloquially as "motley cirxites", or "a motley cirxite". However, this is widely discouraged in Cirxia, likely because of the way the xyntype cultures are built, and how they are only meant to house cirxites of one xyntype. The full span of motley xyntype combinations is still unobserved, but it is theorized that cirxite biological rank may affect how the differing xyntype genes interact with each other.
