TETRIS PEOPLE

Pronounced Teeet-ris

The Tetris people are perhaps the most intelligent being to have ever been created. They are formed from the particles in their atmosphere that used to be other Tetris people, their entire life is extremely short as once they complete a perfect line in their world they evaporate into the same particles that made them, allowing for other formations to occur. Although they spend their whole life wanting to complete a line, as that is their purpose for life. They happen to contain all of the knowledge of their former people, making them extremely smart they live their whole life falling from the sky of which they were born and trying to complete lines. Their retaining of past lives is good for anyone daring enough to try to come into contact with them, for when you get the reclusive race to speak they can tell you everything from what happened to Messier 82 to the creation of the universe. They are such an ancient and old species that unfortunately they have no desire to do anything but die for they feel as death is the only release to their never ending cycle of falling from the sky and completing lines. Although some have hypothesized that if they were to build up to the sky without completing a line they could possibly end the cycle no one has dared to tell that to the Tetris people because they are a very proud people, mostly due to their ancient and mysterious lives. There are many different types of the Tetris kind, for an ancient people they are surprisingly diverse, for they come in seven different colors and seven different sizes. Some have hypothesised that the colors and shapes form similar to how planets and systems are formed in outer space, this has made the tetris people key for observation as the more we study them the better we can find out where we came from. Fortunately upon the studying of these creatures and with the first interactions scientists have debunked the Handkerchief religion as when the scientists asked the Tetris people if it was right they laughed as they were falling, fell into their line and disappeared before any further questions could be asked. They have the most smooth functioning government that has ever been documented; however we have no idea how it works, but they have a zero percent crime rate, their economy is steady, and all of them share very similar political views, as they are all made up of the same ancestors. Since they have no desire to explore the universe they don’t build spaceships or explore anything. There was one case in which humans had an interaction. While Earth still existed and one human was offworld, her name was Trillian, she was traveling with the president Zaphod Beeblebox who randomly came across the world. She went out to explore only to almost get crushed when one of the blocks moved itself to avoid crushing her entirely, at that point she had messed up their line so the blocks were intrigued and started talking to her. She perhaps got more information from them than the entire scientist crew that visits every couple centuries. Unfortunately there was a system malfunction in their ship while they flied away that caused Trillian and Zaphod’s memory to get erased.
