CHONPS Spectral Elements

Based on the findings of the Universal Historical Parish of the Ionite Flotilla of Space-Faring Colonists, intelligent life in the Hellecian Sector can be measured in relation between the Cosmic Aurora and various proportions of the following elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus & Sulfur.
Each creature has a Spectral Element; which defines a species' primary characteristics in relation to the Cosmic Aurora and their role in the life cycle of the universe or what the Hellecians call "The CHONPS:"

	Spectral Characteristics	Role in The CHONPS
Carbon	Strongest Connection to CA; resembles humans the most	From Chaos, Life is formed
Hydrogen	Blue-skinned beings filled w/ vaporized gases like a balloon that fulfill all necessary bodily functions	Life reduced by its atmosphere
Oxygen	Beings w/ permeable (almost incorporeal) skin; waste products float from body and oxidize all it touches	Life donating matter until Equilibrium is achieved
Nitrogen	Red-skinned beings made from nutrients of decomposed creatures; semi-permeable skin used as fuel and medicine	Equilibrium dies
Phosphorus	Amorphous clouds of vaporized Ichor (released from femur after death; highly poisonous) - manifestation of soul	Equilibrium dissipates
Sulfur	Yellowish, rock-like beings (with putrid smell rarest species, formed as a by-product of the COAG refinement process and only under the right temperatures and pressures (contains traits of all 5 elements - considered demons).	Equilibrium fossilizes, waits in Chaos to be released; starts cycle over as carbon

  The farther along in The CHONPS a spectral element is, the more aggressive and unstable the species will be.

However, the X-factor in this process is Cosmic Aurora. Even though it is the spark of creation that started The CHONPS in the first place. No one in the sector knows how every combination of 6 elements will react in the presence of this energy state.

There are four predictable patterns found in the four Patrokonoi-Hellecia. However, diluting the gene pool with too many variable traits leads to complications (see Poisoned Femur Madness).

Hence the distribution of Ichor or the genetic material capable of controlling Cosmic Aurora to non-Hellecians is done with the greatest of care.
