![]() With their antennas, notails can speak to each other non-verbally to up to 20 feet away, but some can even go farther than that. True emotions should be hidden.Īlone, a notail is but a simple creature, but together they are the universe's worst nightmare, and that's how they want it. The mask is far too important to casually remove for most, after all, expressions of anything that doesn't display some type of joy is forbidden. Notails are disgusted by the idea of taking off their masks where people can see them, and as such if they need to eat they will lift their mask slightly to slip food under the gap or move to a location where they can't be seen. Inside the masks are usually a thin screen connected to a tiny nearly invisible camera so that the notail can see just fine without having to remove it. Any other emotion that does not express some kind of joy, but especially those of sadness or anger, are strictly forbidden. ![]() This mask must have an expression of happiness, such as a smile, or a contentment. ![]() While decorating one's mask or making it a color that isn't white or black isn't breaking any rules, it does go against social norms and is looked down upon unless the person is an L-class or very important notail. They can also be black in color, but this is much rarer. Their masks are pure white in color and made of a hardened material such as a sturdy plastic. Some notails are a little more fickle and will change masks every few months or years, just feeling the need to have a change in viewpoint. Some never even remove it from their faces, causing the skin to grow into it. Notail masks are very important to them and most notails keep the same mask for life. The most important thing about a notail is what they call their "face." To them, the mask that sits on top of their face is their "face" and what is underneath it is their "mask." For the sake of easy clarification, the Cosmosdex will use the word mask for what sits on top and face for what lays under it, but when speaking to a notail it is best to say it the other way around to avoid an aggressive correction. In some extreme and unusual cases, these refinements may fail and a notail will be born with these traits back, such as the notail developing mammary glands. Notails are mammals with nothing that sets apart the male and females except their physical sex due to the careful refinement of their genes. They also have the perfect front teeth for ripping and tearing into things, but their back teeth are fairly flat to allow for chewing, thus allowing them to eat a wide range of foods. Each of these digits has short but sharp claws. Notails have four fingers and a thumb for a total of five digits. Notails lack hair on any other part of their body and their hair doesn't grow past neck length unless they have a mutation. Uncommonly a notail will have a hair color outside of that range, such as having blond, red, lighter brown, or grey hair. The notail's black to dark brown hair does a fine job of hiding their antennas. If someone or something touches their antenna this causes the notail to feel an awful life threaten feeling that makes them automatically retract it. Notails can fold these antennas and flatten them against their head for protection and when they are not in use. ![]() These antennas normally reach upwards, before having a sharp bend in the middle, but notail antennas can come in a variety of shapes and lengths. ![]() On top of the head of a notail is two antennas. Notails who were made to work on planets where there is less sunlight tend to be made paler, where those who work on planets where there is more sunlight tend to be darker. Notails once came in a much larger range of shades a long time ago, but over time the common mid tan tone was decided to be best for surviving the sun conditions that notails are exposed to on their planet. Notails are a bipedal species that are covered in a darkish to lightly toasted brown skin that can also more rarely come in paler or darker tones. Something about the way notails look makes them appear so universally normal and casual, and this fact is what makes the notails so deadly to people who don't know what they truly are. ![]()
