| Species | Atomic Gnome |
| Over-species | Gnome |
| Classification | Vaettir |
| Family | Hylic Gnome |
| Sphere | Force |
| Origin | From the rules of fundamental particles. |
| Lifespan | 80-120 years |
| Habitat | Forested mountains, where they live in burrows and earthen structures |
| Food | The smelliest, most unusual aspects of human fare |
| Description | Atomic gnomes are short (about 2.8'), Their heads are slightly too big for their bodies. They have big noses, wide grins, and human-hued hair and skin, though usually with differing coloration on their arms and legs in patches. |
| Procreation | Gnomes breed with each other, where the type of gnome is determined by the mother of the gnome. Breeding with non-gnomes is only possible with supernatural intervention. |
| Esoterica | Gnomes are hegnhic beings who are compelled to obey specific rules. By obeying the rules, they gain insights into systems and mechanism that gives them a supernatural affinity for devices and engineering. Atomic gnomes also gain insights into nuclear engineering through fundamental aether. Gnomes can use almost any supernatural energy except entropy, and atomic gnomes cannot use msawhat. The most commonly used are Foundation, aether, ethereal essence, yahas, void, mashoaab, damaskian power, dumaqu, arnum, and ordinal power. |
| Special Powers | Atomic gnomes have supernatural skill with nuclear engineering and devices. Like all gnomes, they have gnomish illogic damage, wherein their inevitably dangerously failed experiments do not, in fact, hurt them. They also tend to inherently know the age of inanimate objects. |
| Weaknesses | Entropy and msawhat. If a gnome violates their rules, they become a rogue gnome whose energies are askew and dangerous. |
| Rules | Atomic gnomes must obey three basic rules:
|
| Culture | Atomic gnomes live in small complexes where multiple families live together. They work together to raise the children, care for the elderly, and work on major projects. Safety and testing are important parts of their work, and they have extensive compounds where their subjects live comfortably. Every complex and compound is run by a series of inspectors and administrators. The administrators control the basic civic needs and rules of each community. The governing of the wider atomic gnomish nation is done by a massive parliament elected by different communities. The parliament enforces its laws through regulators and regulatory agents, including regulations on testing, schools, electrical and nuclear power, and weaponry. The school administrators are the most powerful faction, and their running of the schools in each community is one of the few things independent of the communities. |
| Engineering | Atomic gnomes are skilled with nuclear engineering. The most common uses for this are energy and weapons. They use uranium, plutonium, and other radioactive materials. They have to rigorously test their devices and inventions for safety reasons, and therefore, they must work with others and make sure they understand as best as possible the potential outcomes. |
