	The Abyssal have existed for almost as long as the Thalassans have, though they haven’t always existed together. During the planet’s foundational days, only the Lucent Stratum and Twilight Stratum sectors existed, as going any lower was deemed dangerous to life. Most lived closer to the surface, but those who lived towards the bottom of Twilight Stratum (and closer to what would later become Noct Stratum), began evolving and adapting to their environment over the years. They began to adapt to the darkness, gaining more features that deep sea animals would have, and appearing akin to predators–noticeably different than common Thalassans, but not different enough to call for separation.

They began to adapt to the darkness, gaining more features that deep sea animals would have, and appearing akin to predators–noticeably different than common Thalassans, but not different enough to call for separation.

	As more time passed and differences became more noticeable, their senses were becoming less adapted to the surface, and some Thalassans began to treat them differently, and slowly began to be cast aside from society. Driven by the desire to belong, many of these Not-Thalassans began to delve deeper instead, in order to properly sustain themselves and exist in a comfortable environment. This dive was also encouraged by the discovery of ~~Pelagia’s~~ radioactive core, which many Abyssal were curious to discover. Once Noct Stratum was established as a sector and the first cities and towns were built is when the separation began. Their traits began to evolve and change due to pressure changes and long-term exposure to radiation, and after years of existing in the depths they were different enough to be another species. This is when the distinction between a Thalassan and an Abyssal was created.

This is when the distinction between a Thalassan and an Abyssal was created.

	It’s important to note that the separation between Thalassans and Abyssal was not because of their marginalization. The Thalassans valued technological evolution and expansion, while the Abyssal valued discovery and expression of self. The Thalassans wanted order, while the Abyssal desired to free themselves from those confines of order. This conflict in views is what drove the rift between the two species, and the physiological evolution of the Abyssal is what drove to the eventual separation between the two. Most Abyssal never cared for opinions of the Thalassans, and simply fled to Noct Stratum for their own comfort and safety, and because they didn’t agree with the Thalassan lifestyle. It’s less of a case of oppressor and victim, and more a case of inevitable cultural separation.

	The Abyssal tend to be solitary, associating with very small groups at best. They’re scattered all over Noct Stratum, often not having any defined cities or towns. The few cities that exist are closer to the surface, in which some Thalassans reside and are often the ones who govern these cities, and Abyssal are not as free here as they are on their own or in other places.

	Familial ties are not as maintained as they are in other cultures. When children are born, they are given a temporary name based on an object or virtue important to the parents, and are raised to be independent and self-reliant. Once the children are old and mature enough to maintain themselves and explore the world on their own, they choose their own names, sometimes sticking to the same naming scheme of objects or virtues, or simply choosing a standard name. As such, there are rarely blood-related families living together.		Familial ties are not as maintained as they are in other cultures.

	Most Abyssal have no religious beliefs, often finding it difficult to understand a higher being able to grant them knowledge and answers. They do not believe in artificial gods, nor do they believe the Nullstar to be worthy of faith as it’s portrayed by the cosmos.		Most Abyssal have no religious beliefs, often finding it difficult to understand a higher being able to grant them knowledge and answers. They do not believe in artificial gods, nor do they believe the Nullstar to be worthy of faith as it’s portrayed by the cosmos.

	In quiet corners of Noct Stratum, however, some begin to worship a figure commonly referred to as “The Stranger”, an artificial deity whose identity and specifics are unknown. Some relate The Stranger to ~~Pelagia’s~~ core, others deem it is a completely separate being. The focus is not on providing answers, but rather finding solace and comfort in the unknown. This structureless, nameless cult is sparse between the Abyssal, worship often being individual, but those who believe in this have an unwavering devotion to The Stranger.

	In terms of spirituality, the Abyssal find a great importance in their patterns and bioluminescence. Being the only form of colored light that they can “see” without their senses being overwhelmed, they decorate their homes with glowing plants, paint the walls and roofs of their homes with bioluminescent paint, and show off their patterns as a form of self-expression and freedom. In the deep of the abyss, they greatly value the color and vibrance that bioluminescence brings to their lives. These patterns and colors present themselves in the magic that they use and rituals they participate in. Followers of The Stranger do not follow these practices, and instead cover up their patterns and live in complete darkness.

	Though most Abyssal are more inclined towards magic, they can also be knowledgeable and skilled engineers. Most machinery they employ are things that would make their jobs easier, such as drills and cranes. Most machinery tends to be closer to the upper layers of Noct Stratum, as the pressure deeper down makes it difficult for machines to operate and maintain. Machinery closer to the core are more commonly power generators, providing hydraulic power, thermal energy, and some small nuclear plants that draw energy from ~~Pelagia’s~~ core.

Machinery closer to the core are more commonly power generators, providing hydraulic power, thermal energy, and some small nuclear plants that draw energy from [[Pelagia]]’s core.

	Most of their scientific advancements are towards nuclear sciences. The goal is to understand the intricacies of the core, harness them safely, and use them for the betterment of Thalassan technology. These developments have been difficult to achieve, however, as the core’s high levels of radiation are difficult to create protections against, and getting closer to the core has proven to be difficult. Outside of the nuclear circle, scientists often study the plant life in Noct Stratum, which has been used for medicinal advancements and material applications.

	Most Abyssal stick to occupations within Noct Stratum, very rarely taking jobs in any higher sectors. Typically used to grunt work due to them being adapted to the depths, thus being able to work more efficiently. Construction and engineering work are two main occupations taken. They handle the maintenance of power generators and other similar structures, as well as ensuring no significant structural damage due to pressure happens.

	Another common job is those related to ~~Pelagia’s~~ core. Abyssal are often sent to survey the core and perform maintenance on the small nuclear plants due to their slight resistance to radioactivity. Despite this, these jobs still have high casualty rates and are avoided, though most have no choice but to do so regardless.		Another common job is those related to [[Pelagia]]’s core.

	Those that take jobs in Twilight or Lucent Stratum often land positions in archival roles, serving as information gatherers and keepers due to their excellent memory. Other roles include covert operations and intelligence gathering, despite the Thalassans’ mistrust and aversion towards the Abyssal.

	Their space travel is entirely based on Thalassan space travel, as they have no access to these space ports on Noct Stratum. Their starships take the appearance of sea life and sailboats, and vary greatly in shapes and sizes. The Abyssal often don’t own large ships, and instead stick to smaller, personal ships and shuttles. The ships they utilize are commonly hybrid starships, used for travel both within and outside of Pelagia.

	Those that leave Pelagia and integrate themselves into other societies keep their starships despite their cultural changes. Maintenance of their ships can be difficult depending on the location, so it’s common for Abyssal to replace some parts of their ships with easier to find parts and materials, leading to unique appearances of the same starship model.

	In the deepest trenches of Noct Stratum, in those areas called Hadal Zones, there are several nuclear research sites established by the Thalassan government in an attempt to better study and understand ~~Pelagia’s~~ core. Due to the core’s very radioactive nature and the high pressure of the atmosphere, only Abyssal are authorized to go down to these sites. Once again, the architecture of these buildings is akin to that of high-security Twilight Stratum buildings, with large layers of protection and several ports for vehicle entry and exit. Due to the radioactive environment, Abyssal are completely forbidden from entering the Hadal Zones without heavy-duty protective gear, and even more so forbidden from exiting the research sites for any reason. Travel between research sites and out to do maintenance is allowed only through the use of specialized crawler vehicles, modeled to look like crustacean species.
