Motio

Motios are a humanoid species created by the High Evolutionary to serve as Recorders, the scientific division of OrgoCorp. They appear to have been created on Counter-Earth, known as Halfworld to the galaxy at large.

Biology
Motios are humanoids with a mostly Human-like appearance. However, the sides of their scalps possess many bluish veins visible through their skin, and a ridge with the same bluish tint tracing a loose circle along the top of their scalps. Female Motios are known to have brighter veins than males. Motios also have white irises and black sclera. It is unknown if Motios were modified from animals, like other species created by the High Evolutionary, or if they were an entirely artificial creation.

Culture and society
Motios serve as the scientific division of OrgoCorp, an intergalactic bioengineering company founded by the High Evolutionary as a front for his extremely unethical illegal experiments. Motios under OrgoCorp are known as Recorders, collecting scientific data relating to the various OrgoCorp projects, especially the High Evolutionary's attempts of creating a "perfect" species from Earth animals. Male and female Recorders both wear tightly fitted white suits with long coats, and Recorders also have a cybernetic computer implanted on the sides of their heads, visibly protruding through their heads, allowing them to store and mentally access the data at any given time, with the computers remaining operational if removed, although removing the cybernetic would require killing the Recorder. Male Recorders have their cybernetic implanted on the right side of their heads, while female Recorders have it implanted on the left side.

History
Motios were created at an unknown date in the past by the High Evolutionary, an enigmatic alien geneticist who sought to create the "perfect species" out of lower lifeforms in order to create a utopia. In pursuit of his goals, the High Evolutionary had also created the Sovereign, Xeronians, Ani-Men, and more, with several races of the outer parts of the galaxy seeing the High Evolutionary as God. As the High Evolutionary's experiments were incredibly unethical, involving mass extermination of "failed" experiments, the High Evolutionary created a corporation known as OrgoCorp as a front for his operations, which he was the CEO of. By the early 21st century, OrgoCorp had been in operation for 300 years, and the Motios were serving as Recorders, the corporation's scientific division. Two Motios, a male named Theel and a female named Vim, were the High Evolutionary's personal Recorders, following him wherever he went. The Motios appear to have been created on Counter-Earth, a planet the High Evolutionary would model after 1980s Earth, as the High Evolutionary had visited Earth in the 1980s, being fascinated with human culture but disgusted by humanity's many flaws. To the rest of the galaxy, Counter-Earth was better known as Halfworld.

The High Evolutionary also recovered several animals from Earth, who he began modifying into sapient lifeforms. These modified animals were known as Halfworlders to the rest of the galaxy, and went through 88 batches of Halfworlders, who were all deemed failures for one reason or another. Theel and Vim remained in the High Evolutionary's service during this time, and recorded all of his work with the various animals.
