The '''Vox''' are remnants of an ancient race, that originate from arkships known collectively as the <b>Shoal</b>. "Vox" on its own usually refers to the common <b>Vox Primalis</b>, just one of many castes among the Vox. These strange bioengineered beings have a physiological caste system and follow the tenets of <b>'The Inviolate'</b>. Breathing pure nitrogen, they require specialized masks and tanks for survival outside their arkships. Their insular nature limits their involvement in broader galactic affairs, maintaining a distinct, yet isolated presence away from other species. | The '''Vox''' are remnants of an ancient race, that originate from arkships known collectively as the <b>Shoal</b>.

While vox are gifted the power of biological immortality due to their cortical stack, they still face issues with their bodies' upkeep and health, most importantly, their species' unique organs. Vox organs are specialized and designed specifically for arkships or oxygen free environments. They are adapted and designed by the Apex to be as low maintenance as possible while keeping their versatile and valuable organs in top shape, however still being prone to aging via the body as it naturally deteriorates overtime. | ||

Composed of primarily voiceless velar and voiceless alveolar plosives, the names are a combination of words within the language created by Vox based on their setting or background. There are two distinct naming schemes for Vox to choose from. Clan based naming scheme, or individualistic that only the naming vox understands. | ||
Clan based naming Vox utilize a combination of physical or mental features, the name of the clan in question aboard their original arkship, and a short unique sound. For instance: A vox can name themselves Ka-Ke-Kori or Kakekori to translate into, Vicious-Darting-Minnow. 'Vicious' is the formative physical or mental feature, 'Darting' is the prefix of the clan name aboard the ark, and 'Minnow' is the modifier sound. This naming scheme is reserved for vox who are considered worthy of their clan affiliation and have earned such achievement by showing loyalty and devotion to their designation. Commonly used by those proudly still aligned with their home arkship. | Clan based naming Vox utilize a combination of physical or mental features, the name of the clan in question aboard their original arkship, and a short unique sound.
