Exo

A Exo (plural exos) is a member of the alien race that this wiki is built about.

Nomenclature
The word "Exo" comes from the word "exosolar" as in an exoplanet. The word exosolar (spelt extrasolar) often is meant as "outside the solar system". In this case, it's outside Earth.

Age and process
The Exos diverge from an unknown race that settled the Archipelago before they arose. In mythology this is treated as the precursors seeding their last settled isle with eggs for the new world to follow. This took place according to the Exos, about a thousand completions ago (around 500 years), and temples have been found on desolate islands.

Early Exos began on the island of Unmegisle and reached the current location around C -313 (if you want to know how time works, see the Externian clock page), or around 1933 on Earth. Settlement began with the formation of Exo City (previously called Exenpolis) in the east, while the western areas were explored. To this day, the entire Megisle has still not been traversed.

Dispersal
The Exos are spread across the northern areas of the Archipelago, but a majority of the populace lives on the Megisle and neighboring islands. Towns such as Megside and Unvenience are located incredibly far and are the equivalent of rural American towns. Around C -120, major settlements formed on the Megisle, and soon became the most developed area of the Archipelago.

Anatomy
Exo bodies are similar to humans, except they have the absence of the liver, pancreas, among other things. Organs in the average Exo body include the invisieater, the thoughtholder, the decomposer tract and the bones, better known as the bodykeeper.

Exos are built to be incredibly robust, and thus have incredible resilience against major damage such as bullets, blunt weaponry, ranged weaponry such as bow and arrows, lack of oxygen, among other things. They are not resilient to major trauma such as tank shells, large falls (such as cliffs and buildings) and major blood loss. Fire, hot temperatures and presence of boiling water weaken the Exo, but not enough to kill it.

Blood
Depending on the insides of the Exo in question, for example a mantle or outer core, the Exo's blood is often the core's contents pumping through their body. For example, Earth's blood would likely be an incredibly hot system of molten lava, since in real life, the planet's core is made of that. On the other hand, gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn have blood made of hydrogen. Both lava and hydrogen, among other things, do not seem to harm the Exo.

Organs
Most of the Exo's body is not organized like a human's body. There are five systems that go through an Exo's body; the venticular system, the mantle system, the volcanic system, the pulverizer system, and the thoughtmaking system.

The Venticular system is analogous to the human heart, and is what the core of the Exo is for. The core does not have a heartbeat; instead, it has a low humming sound reminiscent of a deep tuba.

The Mantle system is analogous to the muscle system, and is why an Exo has extreme resilience to weaponry.

The Volcanic system is the digestive system and is the most active of the five systems, requiring constant management of hunger and food.

The Pulverizer system is the lungs, and is not fully explainable to the Exos; how they still survive with it is unknown, but it is obvious it is doing it's job well.

The final system, the Thoughtmaking system, can be best summarized as an alien nervous system.

Culture
Exo culture is heavily introverted, and most Exos often don't socialize, save for festivals or events. Very few Exos are extroverted, including Earth. Soltown is one of the unique settlements with an active population.

Food is nonexistent; the Exos prefer to consume tree or raw materials that aren't used; how digestion works is unknown, but it's obviously powerful.
