Darwol

The Darwol are a race of free willed deep water creatures who are seemingly very philosophical and thoughtful.

Species
The Darwol are (atmost basic form) deep-water cells that act mainly as nerve cells. These cells can pass on electrical signals, ingest small protein compounds and move with the tail-structure on it's behind. These cells can latch onto other cells of it's kind to make complicated structures such as brains and other sensory organs, making the perceived creature of the Darwol look like a floating nervous system.

The larger the construct of these cells, the "smarter" the mass of creature would become. They could make themselves more powerful in mind by joining together, but they would only be one mind. When the structures of cells split off they will become separate minds that are less powerful, thanks to having less power from the individual cells.

As for reproduction the cells continually grow until they can split into two cells. They copy DNA code from telomere-like structures that are built up when enough of the right chemicals can be found. This allows the Darwol to completely avoid the Hayflick Limit and potentially live forever.

The Darwol feed on microscopic smaller cells that live around geothermal vents which provide the chemicals and proteins they need.

Culture
The Darwol are self-proclaimed as living in a free-willed society. The system used by the Darwol for structuring society is that of having no structure at all. There are no punishments, no rewards and no levels of class. This allows the Darwol to be without restraint on what they want to do. This also lets them deconstruct other methods as in a group they can switch between what laws they want to use fluidly.

Technology
The Darwol do not have much technology. The only technology they do have is a compression chamber which allows them to interact with other species.

This compression chamber can also be used as a vehicle and translator for the Darwol, effectively letting communication possible.

These compression chambers can come in many shapes and forms with lots of form of travel to allow the Darwol to interact with others.
