Nihaviita

The Nihaviitas are a race of powerful but peaceful warriors.

Abilities and traits
The Nihaviitas are known for their peaceful nature. Despite their might, they don't use it for war and for conquer, but only as a means to achieve peace. They mostly rather seek wisdom, as they study all imaginable ways of purify their minds and spirits. They fear any kind of darkness and misuse of their power, and their moral goal is to rid the universe from that darkness.

As a consequence for their cultural beliefs, the Nihaviitas don't believe in the three virtues. In fact, they reject them, with the exception the concept of duty, which they believe it exists, but not as a virtue. They must rely on themselves alone, so unity will only weaken them, or tempt them into want to store more power than their own. They are masters of their own fate, and the future is always on motion, so destiny is just a misinterpretation since nothing is written.

Despite their solitary attitude, the Nihaviitas answer to the command of the strongest but also the wisest member of their race, who will receive the title of The Gravitas, which is a Matoran word for "hope". However, he does not act as their ruler, but mostly as their guide in times of need. When the Gravitas calls for his race, the Nihaviitas will find him and follow him.

All of the Nihaviitas possess the elemental power of The Nothing, which allows them to control the energy that fills the space that the matter can't, and since that element is opposite to all known mater, when contact with it, they destroy mutually. That's why they refuse to use their power for their own goals, for misuse them could mean the end of everything. They also possess telepathy, but they can only communicate between the members of their own race. Another trait that they all share is the ability to see the possible future that is to come, which they call "Preknowledge".
