IC: Some vent-feeding bacteria have risen to the challenge by sticking in tight groups, too tight to be swallowed whole. Eventually, this will result into multicellular life. To respond to this, the alien amoebas, or Rohthunds, have started banding together to form a large mob to eat from the tight groups. This, too, will become multicellular life. Jtfin's ecosystem will soon flourish.

This sounds interesting...most threads have died by now. Good to see one still burning. Can I join?? Y

My universe

There was once a being from another universe. An unidentified, unamed, non-physical bring. It died. It died without pain and as it died, it's consciousness ruptured. Elements where created and reacted. Planets and stars where born. Unorganised and small the universe was in it's new found infancy. Then the largest star collapsed and the universe was sucked towards it. The first galaxy. This galaxy was filled with gas and rock. Other galaxies where then born, creating a web of light and earth. On the first galaxy, the ancient beings dying conciousness took physical form. A microbe. The dying microbe had enough time to reproduce itself and life was born. The life spread on one planet. A virus was born. Then the planet's sun exploded. So did the planet and life spread throughout the galaxy, riding a million astroids.

That's my big bang theory-thing if it's good enough and I get in, the galaxy will evolve.

It sounds good! Unfortunately, this kind of is dead. I never officially announced its death but everyone stopped posting and checking in.

Oh alright then. If it's dead, can I still post my story? I don't mind if no-one reads??

Edit: I have an intergalactic empire in mind.

Sure, just don't double post too often. I'll check in and read every once in awhile!

A good, non-dead RP to join would be LATU, it's alot like this, only dealing with one planet rather than an entire universe. It allows just as much creative freedom and is easier for beginners.

Ok let's get the first race started.

The first galaxy (that will be it's actual name) was at the centre of the universe and was three times the size of the spore galaxy and had double the arms. On the out skirts of the galaxy, a meteor crashed. The planet it crashed on was three times the size of 'Earth'. A single microbe emerged from this meteor and began to multiply. After a million years, one cell changed. It's flagella grew and it developed a mouth. A carnivore. The cell reproduced and within another year, they where the top of the food chain. Other cells soon grew combat abilities so the carnivore evolved. They grew fins. Fins with claws at the tips. They also began to excrete a sort of poisonus substance. Then one day two rival cells, Kriskie, joined together. Then more joined them, and more, and more. They took on a shape and smoothed their skin. But they where still the size of an earth ant. The smooth clumps grew tentacles and sucktion cups. The Kriskie had become creatures. They looked like a sort of green octopus but had spikes on the back of their heads. The Carnivore had a major rival.

Mean while in a distant galaxy, something awakens. Something terrible and deadly. A planet moved. Well, more vibrated. It began to think and reason. A single life was already aware of the complexity of space and time. However it was unaware of other life and deemed itself god.

Back in the first galaxy.

The Carnivore where at the point of extinction. The Kriskie had hunted them relentlessly. Only a thousand remained of the once millions. The Carnivore banded together. A united race standing against hopeless odds. Hopeless as they where. The race evolved and connected into seven beings, beings the same size as Kriskie. The Carnivore began to rise up out of the water. The Kriskie chased them upwards. All this took a million years. Finally the Carnivore mated and grew.

Cool so far! I would have liked you to be bit more descriptive... but other than that it was great!

Just remember to add more details in your next post.

OOC: Glad to see another active poster.
IC: One time, one of the bacteria that was clustered up mutated. Another bacteria was attached to it, like a siamese twin. Regardless, this mutant bacteria survived, and soon, a large, naturally clustered species was born. It had a large suction cup at the bottom, and it otherwise looked like algae. A plant. It would be called a Hidrenx. It spread it's egg sacks to make some children. But the Rothunds, too, have mutated. Their amoeba-like structure allowed them to stick together, and within a few hundred thousand years, a herbivore was born, and reproduced. These creatures were just blobs, and whatever Hidrenx they touched would be eaten, it's chemical compounds which would be absorbed. But this moon won't let it's lifeforms stop there at evolutionary progress. Jtfin's freeze dosen't seem to affect the plants, they have strong bodies allowing to not be crippled under the ice's pressure. Same goes for the herbivores.

After thousands of years swimming near the surface, the carnivore had spread from from seven to seven thousand. The Kriskir had also spread uncontrollably. The two where still vicious rivals and needed to change to conquer the other and this time it was the Carnivore who evolved first. Their smooth bodies grew two lumps. The lumps stretched into arms. The arms grew hands. The hands grew fingers and the fingers grew talons. That wasn't their only change however, they had developed spiked tails and highly developed eyes. The carnivore looked at the Kriskie for the first time, having only smelt them before. A Carnivore reached down to a larger Kriskie. He picked up the cephalopod and realised how much smaller they where. Kriskie, the size of ants and Carnivore, the size of sparrows. After the Carnivore was done observing, it ate the Kriskie. The other Kriskie retreated upwards and evolved lungs. They squirmed up to the land and breathed for the first time. Carnivore where the new kings of the sea.

In a distant galaxy, the planet moved again. It groaned and massive blue tendrils reached out and wrapped around it's many moons. After a thousand years in this state, a meteor landed on the planet and life sprang up.

OCC: hi everyone, I'm going to go unconventionally in the next few posts so don't be suprised if things don't add up oh and I like what your doing Chantal

OOC: Thank you.
IC: With time, some Rothunds began to stretch out four tendril-like strands commonly, stretched out most of the time to grab Hidrenxes, except when digesting, when the strands are dragged in. These Rothunds, having evolved a new feeding method, will become the bigger Fathunds, creatures with strands thicker than their ancestor's, so they don't have to pull in their meal to eat it. But, some have begun to feel the ocean's bottom, rocks and Hidrenxes, leading to a sense of touch. But the Hidrenxes are slowly adapting...

Meanwhile, orbiting a yellow star, there is liquid water in an underground cavern on a planet known as Roob-Hald. On the surface, the star it orbits and the giant star the entire half-galaxy revolves around makes it always daytime, overheating the planet and making it unsuitable for life. However, in this underground cavern, the temperature is just right for life to form. And it does. A tiny microbe. And as usual, it multiplies, until there's an entire ecosystem. This time, these early lifeforms eat the limestone walls that surround the tiny underground lake. Eventually, they will access other small lakes, and maybe even the harsh surface, the latter of which would spell doom for the lifeforms... If they don't spread far enough.

The Carnivore, had changed. They had banded into groups who began to build. The sea had developed ecosystems of predator creatures and prey creatures. Some massive others pathetically small. The Carnivore had found massive skeletons and used sea weed or algiae to make tribes. They used skulls for food stores and the rib cages for the main tribe. They even used glowing plants to make lights. However, their biggest achievement was their mining activity. Only a few tribes did this though. They used bones to dig cave systems below their homes to mine out stone and other minerals. Some mines streached over a hundred feet down and across. The tribes never went against each other. They offered each other gifts and food but never hurt each other. A truly united race. They where still advancing. They began using more conventional resources like wood from the towering sea trees and iron iron they smelted in the blue sea fires of the valour caves. They where developing towering towns that climbed the sea pillars and learning more about science and the universe. Meanwhile, on land, the Kriskie had build a single massive city. They had createdboats that they used to observe their ancestral enemies. The boats whet sunk by the Carnivore with their iron submarines. The two lived in a peaceful state but that was soon to change.

In a distant galaxy, the planet was enhancing the life that lived on it. It evolved them into warriors and controlled them with it's powerful mind. It found a particular species and evolved them into living starships. The space creatures carried lesser minions of the planet and flew them between the stars of their galaxy. Each minion carried a cell from the living planets body and grew another body that turned the planet into a hive mind race. Each body alive and growing into planet infesting squid like creatures that dug into planets and gave birth to minions. The hive named itself... The BEAST horde.

The Kriskie had physically developed. They where tall and walked on eight tentacles. They used another four like arms. They also developed technologically. They build submarines and boats. They created a single towering metropolis where the whole population lived. All three billion. The city was walled and armed with massive turrets and cannons and an assortment of tanks. Their harbour was highly productive, making two ships per second. However the Carnivore had changed. Their diet changed to plants and they grew legs. Their fingers lengthened and their tails smoothed over. Their limbs where oddly long and their fingers intensely accurate. They could no longer be called carnivore, as they wearn't, they whet herbivores but that didn't sound right. They became the Fleesch. They build big cities across the sea bed and harvested the tunnels they had created. Boats and submarines where their weapon of choice. They armed them with missiles and machine guns. The Fleesch realised they couldn't swim in their sea forever so began work on air breathing suits. They had reached civilisation.

IC: The Hidrenxes are still able to move, and some grow a small moving appendage like a tail to swim away. Thing is, they don't have any eyes, nor a moving system. That would be about to change, for some evolved small nerves. With generations, these nerves would develop into electroreception, to actually swim away from the Rothunds and Fathunds. These Xydrenxes are rare now, but their numbers are rising. However, the Fathunds, too, are changing. As one managed to eat a Xydrenx, somehow, a malfunction occured, and the Fathund gained the electroreceptive nerves. As it reproduces, it's descendants' bodies would look somewhat like a seal, they'd have four flippers, and a round head would appear, where the electroreception will take place. One small bump serves on these new creatures as an electroreceptive eye, and more nerves would form a tiny brain. While the "eye", the brain and a little bit of skin around the electroreceptive bump are solid, the rest of it's body will retain it's amoeba-like form. These are Icthunds, the new predators in the oceans.

On Roob-Hald, the bacterias have managed to reach another cave above their home cave, causing a temporary waterfall and when it's over, it'll just make the cave bigger. There is more limestone there than in these overeaten patches in the first underwater cave. However, some bacteria adapted to just plain old dirt, and whatever else is in the land on Roob-Hald. The others have adapted to air by surrounding themselves in a film of water. There, they form large masses, and in one case, a mass mutated into a new species. A multicellular one. It will be like a plant hanging from a limestone ceiling, some lying on the limestone-covered floor. Soon, they'll adapt to plain old dirt, like the regular bacteria. However, these bacteria let off gases on which the bacteria will breathe. True plants.

Remember the other half of the universe and it's massive star? It eventually exploded in a supernova, one so huge that the edges of the half-universe were touched, and so powerful that it burst the half-universe. Now in a deep void surrounding all the universes and omniverses, this half of the universe has been destroyed by the void's powers. This event has no turning back on. The half-universe has been destroyed. Forever.

The Fleesch and Kriskie had lived in peace for a thousand years. The Fleesch had developed air breathing apparatus and sea bed walkers. Hulking machines that walked on four fifty foot legs. They where armed with an assortment of torpedoes and lasers that attached to the head. A head that contained a bridge and aqua fighter hanger. The main body was composed of operator bunks, a mess hall, an armoury, the nuclear core, security decks and massive drill equipment. These walkers are used as military transport, drilling equipment or as early battleships. Only four of these mechanical monsters where made due to their expensiveness to construct and the lack of nuclear capabilities in Fleesch race. The Kriskie didnot have any massive machines, instead they build huge swarms of boats and aqua fighters that overwhelm their enimies. They built these in massive underground factories that opened out in the sea.

One fateful day, the Kriskie launched a swarm of aqua fighters at a bed-walker. The swarm was easily destroyed but the Kriskie declared war on the Fleesch after this. The Fleesch compiled all funds into war efforts and built another two bed-walkers, but these two had land walking capabilities. These took years to build, years that the Fleesch had to resist attacks during. Fifty Fleesch cities where reduced to fifteen. The Kriskie, however, could not survive under water so couldn't operate seiges, only quick strikes. Once the land walkers where finished, they instantly began a seige on the Kriskie metropolis. The bigger land walkers on one side and the bed-walkers covering the cities massive coast line. The siege lasted five years destroying farmland and bombarding the city Walls. Every time there was a breach, Fleesch land troops flooded in. The Kriskie barely scratched the walkers and slowly began to realise they had lost. They officially surrendered after five years of besiegement. The Fleesch built them a rocket and sent them out into the darkness.

IC: There are still Hidrenxes, and they have begun to take on forms more similar to aquatic plants on Earth. As an alternative to the vents' energy, these plants can now feed on starlight, for the big star always gives off heat, but in the eclipse-bearing winter, there's still warmth and light, but not enough to keep the water liquid. These Hidrenxes will take the role of the plants of this world. While they all move, most only move when attacked, but some move around like an animal would. Bypexes, Xydrenx descendants, are two-legged creatures that run off on the vents when they sense predators, while fish-like Hidrenx evolutions, or Piksaxes, have a few sensory barbs able to detect the slightest changes in water pressure, allowing to detect predators and swim away quickly. And the Icthunds, Fathunds and Rothunds are taking advantage. Icthunds are among the most abundant and successful herbivore hunters, all Fathunds are slowly inventing a new method to catch food by spreading out like nets and catching whatever passes by, using their strands to hang on, and Rothunds now float around, hoping to touch a plant to eat. But, some Icthunds stay just below the surface of the water to ambush their prey, but some kelp-like plants beat them there by reaching above, though they haven't moved much. As they leak out oxygen and other essential gases, they create an atmosphere the aliens can breathe, trapping more sunlight. Now, the water stays frozen in winter near the top only. Anyway, could the Ichtunds possibly venture out of the water? It could only happen in summer...

Back on Roob-Hald, most of the cave is full of the new plant-like creatures as the bacteria feed on the limestone, eventually revealing two more caverns of water. It's as if the bacteria are the excavators for the plants, yet the plants are making them run out of room to live. fortunately, some bacteria tasted the plants and began eating away at it a lot. A new species of bacterial grazer. The first on Roob-Hald. To counter, the plants are starting to grow back quickly. Now, the two species are even, and an aquatic grassland has been formed, and with the regular limestone-eating bacteria, it can expand.

After the war, the Fleesch had title dominance of the planet Fleetoptis. They had sent the Kriskie civilians off into space to start anew, off in a distant star system. The officials and militia had been enslaved by the Fleesch. With the planet under control, the Fleesch decided to explore the galaxy. They quickly realised they where the only space faring creatures in the galaxy. With free reign, they quickly colonised hundreds of systems. With more territory they quickly advanced technologically. They saw off into the universe and other galaxies. They saw other advanced races and saw threat. They built a barricade around their galaxy, one thousand systems dense on all sides. Invetween the galaxy arms, they launched planet sized space stations that doubled their territory. The 'wall' made a thick ring around the galaxy but left enough room for other races to evolve and prosper under their protection.

In a distant galaxy the beast horde was growing in power. It had plagued several different galaxies, obliterating all life in it's path. The massive squid like bodies fed on the nutrients their planets held and grew to reach other worlds. The universes greatest threat had become real at long last.

The Fleesch saw this. They feared. The horde had destroyed races greater then them. However it had taken them by suprise. The Fleesch prepared. They developed more defence systems. They created another space station. One that encircled a black hole and worked off it's unlimited supply of energy. The station used the energy to create a force feild around the whole galaxy.
