What do you mean? Posting them then filling them up slowly over time?
And how do you bond with Se'po'kuk? How can you even take a shortcut?

And what color do you want?

Upper center similar to Ohios location in North America for reference... Neon Green

Okay, I get it. But please complete your sign-up sheet first, so that I can accept it.

Veoline my race is inside a volcano, but yes it is dormant. Though still hot, it's dormant.

Shortcut = killing or suicide. Depending on usage.
Bonding with Se'po'kuk is the term for dying and joining the collective afterlife mind. They believe that Se'po'kuk has a fate for everything, but Pra'lok have free will, a blessing which allows them to break their fate, but also have the potential for a great fate.

I mean, the style. Posting with long 3rd person views focusing on certain people.

You could write what it looks like instead of a picture. I would have done that if Spore wasn't extremely good in portraying their looks.

Oh, color, indigo.

Okay this looks cool, but I have some questions. Are we all on separate planets? Also do we just describe the area we want our tribe in, and you put it on the map?

1: We are all on the same planet.
2: ... Be descriptive, but yes. You could make an island chain in the middle south like I did, a continent in the north-western hemisphere, et cetera. (Not those exactly though, they're taken.)

Name of Race:Eyzmao
Color of the Race(for the map) Doesn't really matter. Orange or Yellow would be good.

Description/picture:

With Tribe clothes

Biology: The Eyzmao race has been around for a long time. They used to be very small frog like creatures that breathed through gills. The Eyzmaos had only a three inch body, two one inch legs, and a half inch mouth. They were herbivores. Once they started to grow more and more they became stronger and better set for life. They went from green to mostly brown, and they grew way bigger. The average Eyzmao these days is 5-6 feet tall. Usually the males are taller than females. Once Eyzmaos grew to be 2 feet tall they started to live more on land than in water. Therefore they breathed through lungs. Although on all four feet, they learned to run, jump, dig, stand for short periods of time, and communicate with sounds. When Eyzmaos reached the heights they are today they could stand up on two feet. Also Flagella like tubes grew from their ears that let them hear better than normal ears. The eyes grew bigger, fins appeared on its tail, and it started eating small animals, rather than just vegetation.
Not long before the Eyzmaos became sentient they started becoming smart. They would use the amphibian part of their bodies to swim after fish at high speeds. Also they learned to use the sharp spiky parts of their hands to cling onto trees like apes would. Plenty of animals lived high in the trees, so it was hard to reach them. This allowed them to get pretty much anywhere. They could swim across anything (they don't know about the ocean), run anywhere, and now climb as high as they needed to.
So as soon as the Eyzmaos were advanced enough through evolution they built huts with logs, mud, and leaves.

Culture: The Eyzmao tribe has smart people (for a tribe), okay weaponry, and a small amount of land inhabited. There are some minor break off villages in the area. They are meant to explore, although they don't usually do much. The tribe believes that knowledge is the best weapon, and will stop at nothing to solve problems. There once was a plague that killed 30 Eyzmaos. The tribesmen learned that drinking sap from a tree called an Aloefennel would heal themselves. After days of drinking tons of sap, they became healthy again. The people aren't usually all that aggressive, but will fight ferociously to defend their people. They are very close to family and friends. The tribe believes in 10 different gods.
The god of water-Controls the rivers, rain, and animals (they know that without water animals die).
The god of sound- Allows talking, and all forms of sound.
The god of soil- Allows plants to grow, and all land to form.
The god of fire-Allows warmth, and light to be emitted (shares power with the god of light). Not discovered yet.
The god of the sky- Controls clouds, and flight of all animals. Also governs the gods of water, wind, and sound.
The god of space- Decides when the stars come out and when meteors fall upon the land. It governs light and darkness.
The god of light- Controls the daytime.
The god of darkness- Controls the nighttime and shadows.
The god of wind -Controls the wind's direction, force etc.
The god of Order-Governs the other gods. It’s the strongest god. It gave birth to the 9 other gods.

The Eyzmaos respect their gods through small prayers every couple of days, where they dance around singing about the gods.
They are really good fishers, and okay hunters. They hide underwater (can hold breath for up to 10 minutes) waiting for fish to swim by and then they pierce their bodies with the two points on their helmets. When hunting land animals they have spears, but they like to be creative and ambush prey through trees. They don't way much, but their hand spikes don't let go very easily, which can be very good and very bad at times.
As for fun they love jumping around in trees, and having swim races. Sometimes adults even carry babies on their backs through the water. They act as boats to the babies. Although babies like adults can breathe both air and water, they tend to enjoy air more these days due to the fact that lungs grow faster than gills in the species.
The creatures love singing, dancing, making music with sticks, rocks, and water, and they love making friends with animals, and what will be other races. The proud tribe is currently at a population of about 50, and they are soon to discover fire, which will reveal the fire god to them as well.

Starting location (Here you describe the land around them. Then, you will edit the map to show where they live, and a few pixels around.): The Eyzmao tribe lives in a lush forestry area. It's a tropical rain forest with warm temperatures.The weather can get rainy and foggy a lot.

Form of government: Well I don't really know what kind of government this is but here it is. The Chieftain makes big decisions, but every person from the tribe that is above 13 years old has the freedom to give ideas for different decisions among the tribe. For example, if the chieftain says "we should hunt while the weather is sunny" an adult could say “but we are short on Vegetables, not meat." Once the ideas are said the chieftain and the selected elders of that time choose what to do. Nobody is unfair. The people don't fight much with each other. Whatever is best for everybody is usually what will be chosen. I suppose it's a democracy, but only the Chieftain and the elders decide in the end, not the other adults.

Starting location(Here you describe the land around them. Then, you will edit the map to show where they live, and a few pixels around.): The Eyzmao tribe lives in a lush forestry area. It is in the western part of the world on a decent sized continent. It's pretty tropical in the middle which is a rainforest, but the outside part is more temperate. It's unknown what it connects to, because only a small part is inhabited by the tribe. The temperatures are warm, and they weather can get rainy and foggy a lot.

Did I forget anything?

Some grammar needs slightly fixed but you look like you spent your time on it... seeing as though it appears you are relativly new to RP's (I'm not sure) try and make sure you are always gramaticly correct (quick run through microsoft word) and post more than usual

Not trieing to be like mini mod or anything just saying a few important things

Gah spore is not working.

If Spore doesn't work for you, you can simply describe your race!

PCookie13, you can start. Just one thing, when you spoke of the plague, and how they learned to drink the sap of a tree, you didn't finish your sentence. I guess you meant that the sap healed, but since there's no ending, I can't know!
Just one thing: you said you lived on a "decent-sized" continent. Since you only know of the few pixels around you on the map, you can't know how big it is! You can only know that there is a tropical forest, that's all!

I'll describe my own race later by the way.

I edited the map to show the Pra'lok and Eyzmao. PCookie, don't be surprised if you live in the middle of nowhere, and on a small island. It just represents the area you live in, and as you explore and describe what you find, I'll edit the map, or you can, if you want.

Updated mine I'm apt to add more but I hope that generally suffices
