-		They have a flexible and lightweight skeleton and a two-channel redundant nervous system. They generally stand anywhere from 1.3 to 2 meters tall, averaging at 1.5 for most Vox, taller for Armalis, with a primarily green and brown coloration, but can have different colored quills and body markings. \
-		Their bodies are scaled with rigid, nonconducting plates in overlapping rows, which can be bristled or flattened at will to optimize cooling or form interior seals as to retain heat. \
-		Their aforementioned quills act as a supplementary cooling system, with tiny capillaries allowing bloodflow into the hollow recesses inside of the quills, which they may often violently shake to produce a cooling effect with the air; this also functions as a threat display, as many Vox will attempt to cool themselves down before engaging in a fight as to regulate their body-temperature though exertion. \
-		They do not respirate as humans do, but they do require a nitrogen-rich atmosphere to 'breathe', and suffer badly in the presence of oxygen. \

This mechanical brain is installed the minute a Vox is produced by the Apex, mind uploading being one of the oldest disciplines of the Vox, and it holds their memories, personality, and body information. \
-		These machines also hold their genetic information, a newly 'resleeved' Vox physically mutating into the parameters set by their stack. A Vox is not considered 'dead' as long as their stack can be put in a new body, and this process affords them functional immortality. \
-		However, no other beings are considered 'alive' either due to their lack of one; their absence of the divine spark of the Auralis. They feel neither empathy nor hatred towards aliens, their short, violent and ephemeral existences ultimately meaning as little as furniture to the Vox.",

-		The exact specifications and duties of a Primalis may change throughout their life according to the enigmatic will of the biocomputers fabricating them, and their duties may be oddly specific at times; \

-		These magnanimous (for a Primalis) individuals are very, very rarely seen outside of an Arkship due to their assignments requiring 'active duty'. \
-		To see a 'Leader,' in a place of aliens is to know that they are almost assuredly an exile, and shunned by all varieties of Vox. The Vox consider 'drains on resources' as inexcusable, and to be one is an act to be shunned upon.",
