Helovxi (Humanity)

Helovxi (hell-o-viks-ee) are a branch of Hominini belonging to the family of great apes. They are characterized by erect posture and bipedal locomotion. Their manual dexterity and increased tool use allowed them to evolve with larger, more complex brains.

Helovxi refer to themselves as human.

The spread of helovxi and their large population profoundly affected pre-impact Ramaxicon. Helovx use tools much more than any other animal and are the only extant species known to build fires and cook their food–they remain the only extant species, pre-impact, to clothe themselves and create and use numerous other technologies and arts.

In 2025, the helovx population peaked at roughly 8 billion. The helovx underwent a population bottleneck in the mid-21st century following a destructive impact event and the subsequent eruption of a supervolcano.

Many key helovx cultures survived the Dark Years through pre-impact conservation efforts, like the Whakaari Koru, the Ural Wall, Project Noah, the Saharan Exodus, and the organization of the Jungwa Collective. The helovx quality of life rebounded during an age of outreach by the southern polar femmar that bolstered trade with Ramaxia. This age ended, however, with the 2196 genocide perpetrated against the Australian people by the femmar. The ascendancy of the Ninth Generation has curtailed trade and stunted helovx technological advancement.

As of 2245, there are approximately 16,000 helovx (with over 1,700 more living at sea and on land, outside the protection of organized population centers).
