They are all extremely weak willed beings, narrow of mind and spirit and capable of little more than base violence and aggression.
That might sound weird but its the truth. The simpler the solutiosn a man seeks, the weaker their wills are. It takes vastly more strength to keep empathy and emotion despite the odds, than it does to separate yourself from others emotionally and numb yourself. The virtrumite have done this on a species level…
By all means if they encountered a powerful psychic race they’d get wiped out easily and completely.
Weird take lol, definitely not close to right but that’s ok
Dude litreally everything i’ve seen and read of these mofos, aside for the prime mark, has them being simple brutes that either are supremely selfish and barely obedient or completely indoctrinated with little thought for themselves. That is not the behavior of a highly intelligent species. Especially with how old these guys can get and sitll not develop mentally. Just compare omniman to immortal. Mofo was literally a caveman and WAS the most powerful individual on earth for all this time… yet he chilled out. mofo became abraham fucking lincoln of all people.
with a lot of ‘psychic’ tropes, its those that have weak wills or more susceptile to suggestion that re the most vulnerable to influence. would say beings that could live for thousands of years and not evolve mentally in the slightest would apply to that defininition. whether jut cause of culture or them literally genociding more complex mental patterns out of their species.
