-Elevator pitch of the (SPECIES). Two easily-readable paragraphs, tops. Concise is fine.
+Glorinferosians are a short-statured blood-drinking humanoid species with long tails and butterfly wings. They have a natural ability to use fire magic and extreme heat resistance. Sometimes they are called "Butterdemons" on account of their wings, vampiric nature, and usage of fire magic. Another nickname for them is "Glowies", though some take offense to this term. They hail from the relatively isolated nation of [[shards:glorinferosa|Glorinferosa]], but can be found throughout the sector.
-The goals of a species article are to make it easy for players to understand what your species is, how they fit into the roleplay, and how to make a member of the species if they so desire. To be successful, your article will need to strike a balance between being short enough to be easy to read, while having enough detail to allow someone making a character to have all the information they need.
-If you can find a way to re-phrase something long into a single sentence without losing important details, you probably should. Clarity is key. :)

 ===== History =====
-Originally being the top species on the planet, Glorinferosians established their dominance over other species long before establishing a civilization. This led to Glorinferosians often thinking of themselves as at the top; they did not know of a world where they were the hunted. After establishing civilizations, they began to soften, being protected within the comforts of technology and groups. At first, the civilization were split up, and they tested different types of governments. Before the Kingdom of Glorinferosa was established, it was not uncommon for Glorinferosians, both civilized and uncivilized, to be abducted by alien races for slavery, experimentation, even being kept as "pets". Civilizations around Infernia merged under one absolute monarchy that encompassed the entire planet, the Kingdom of Glorinferosa. Once this kingdom was established, Glorinferosians were better protected against foreign invaders seeking to abduct them. Even after entering the space age, the nation of Glorinferosa remained relatively self-contained within their home system of Thermius, but many Glorinferosians went on to disperse throughout the sector.

Even after entering the space age, the nation of Glorinferosa remained relatively self-contained within their home system of Thermius and the other systems they would colonize (Femoria and Venaortio), but many Glorinferosians went on to disperse throughout the sector. This was aided by the other two systems being far away, causing Glorinferosians to spread out over a wider range.
 ===== Habitat and Population =====
-Glorinferosians generally live in hot environments, it would be very rare to find one living in a cold area. Glorinferosians have spread out throughout the sector, however the greatest concentration of them can be found on their home planet Infernia in the Kingdom of Glorinferosa. Glorinferosians aren't found everywhere in the sector, but they're not an uncommon race.

Glorinferosians have spread out throughout the sector, however the greatest concentration of them can be found on their home planet Infernia in the Kingdom of Glorinferosa. Due to its location, there are also a large number of them living throughout the Great Flare. As Glorinferosa has colonies in the systems of Femoria and Venaortio, located in the Mori Expanse, many can be found there as well. Glorinferosians aren't found everywhere in the sector, but they're not an uncommon race.
 ===== Biology =====

 ==== Anatomy and Physiology ====
-The most prominent aspect of a Glorinferosian's body is their wings, having large butterfly or moth-like wings on their back that grant them flight. Moth types can fold their wings down to a much more compact size, but most butterfly types cannot do this. These wings are capable of changing color, and for butterfly types, glowing in the dark. They can stick to and climb walls like a bug. They also have long tails, usually around 5 feet in length, covered in soft fur. They have sharp, retractable claws in their fingers and toes in place of nails. They have 2 antennae coming out of the top of their heads approximately 1 foot tall. They have a more acute sense of smell and hearing than most species. They have sharp fangs which they use to drink blood, and are capable of feeding off the blood of almost any species. They are humanoid in form, however their skin has a small amount of chitin in it. This chitin does not form distinct plates and is not visible to the naked eye, but it is present in their skin. They are capable of regenerating lost body parts, including limbs, as long as the injury is not fatal. On average, Glorinferosians range from 4 to 5 feet tall and weigh from 75 to 80 lbs, with no average difference between males and females. The tallest Glorinferosians do not even reach 6 feet in height. In general, there are not many differences between a male and a female Glorinferosian's body aside from their reproductive systems. A Glorinferosian's immune system has the unique ability to superheat their body to burn out pathogens, almost like a supercharged fever. Unlike a fever in another species, due to their bodies' extreme heat resistance, this does not cause damage to their own body.

Moth types can fold their wings down to a much more compact size, but most butterfly types cannot do this. These wings are capable of changing color, and for butterfly types, glowing in the dark. Glorinferosians tend to leave a colorful dust behind on things their wings have been touching for a prolonged period of time due to a small amount of the tiny scales on their wings rubbing off. These scales grow back, and losing them only effects their ability to fly if they lose a very large amount of them. They can stick to and climb walls like a bug.

 It is possible to install cybernetics in a Glorinferosian, if their regenerative abilities are suppressed. However, it would be very difficult to design implants that are capable of the same heat resistance as their bodies. For this reason, giving a Glorinferosian cybernetics could compromise their heat resistance and ability to use fire magic due to damage to the implants.

 ==== Philosophy ====
-Optional. If already covered in a Nation article, feel free to link and include a basic blurb here.
+Some Glorinferosians believe they should maintain a reputation as a fearsome species, but more are indifferent to this reputation. Most Glorinferosians believe it's important to learn for themselves and teach their children an advanced level of fire and thermal magic due to how widespread it is in Glorinferosian societies.
-===== Society =====
-Required section. You can leave this space blank, if you'd like.
+===== Society =====
 ==== Kinship ====
-Required. How do members of this species group and form relationships? Do they have families?
+Glorinferosians form families with their biological kin and relatives. Adoption also occurs in Glorinferosian societies, but it is not uncommon for children who've lost their parents to be forced to fend for themselves. Siblings tend to have close relationships and deep bonds with each other.
 ==== Government and Politics ====
-Optional. How do members of this species organize themselves into lasting, coherent groups? What are their values and how do they decide who, if anyone, is in charge?
+In Glorinferosa, the primary form of government is an absolute monarchy. Governments below the monarch usually have one leader in charge. The monarchy is hereditary, with the throne being passed down to a designated family member when the monarch dies. Several underground gangs exist, many of which are not content with the current ruler. These gangs are usually secretive, ruthless, and have no interest in abiding by the law. While Glorinferosa does technically control Femoria and Venaortio, these systems tend to be much more anarchic. They are very far away from Thermius, and as a result it is difficult for the monarchy to retain control over them. Femoria and Venaortio have governments under the monarch's authority to help maintain order, but they are weak and largely ineffective.
 ==== Conflict ====
-Glorinferosians are not necessarily inherently aggressive, however, they are known to be very easy to tempt into drinking blood, to the point where they may attempt to drink it from someone else without permission. A hungry Glorinferosian may have difficulty resisting the urge to bite someone else to feed off their blood.
+Glorinferosians are not necessarily inherently aggressive, however, they are known to be very easy to tempt into drinking blood, to the point where they may attempt to drink it from someone else without permission. A hungry Glorinferosian may have difficulty resisting the urge to bite someone else to feed off their blood. They are less likely to drink blood from another Glorinferosian than from another species, but will still do so. Glorinferosians used to war amongst themselves frequently before the monarchy was established, however, after the kingdom was formed, official warring between Glorinferosians became much less common. The Kingdom of Glorinferosa is peaceful to most other nations, so long as they haven't done anything to provoke a war with Glorinferosa or wronged the Glorinferosians (such as the aliens who abducted them in the past). Glorinferosian gangs, on the other hand, still fight with each other often and anyone who crosses them. Conflict is rampant in Femoria and Venaortio due to the lack of an effective authority over them. In turn, a larger percentage of Glorinferosians found in the Mori Expanse can be considered hostile.
-Required. Is this species violent? Do they war amongst themselves or with others? Do they harm each other?
