Out of Context: Wow, this looks amazing. I'd better get typing!

In Context: Two massive blobs, just floating there. What are they doing? No one knows. Are they getting closer? Oh geez, yes! They are going to crash! They hit each other in a loud SPLAT! Doing so opened a little hole in each, spewing out planets, stars, and entire galaxies like candy in a pinata. As time went on, the universe started coming together, to form a map-able web. As we take a look, we notice that life is already forming in the most unlikely of places.

Radium- Uranium desert

Radium, is a small planet. It has been hit with constant radiation. This makes a planet-wide desert of radioactive sand on the surface. In between the grains, we find small organisms who have grown to adapt to the radiation, and use it to their advantage. Since radiation fuels evolution, these beings can evolve faster than any other life on the universal web. It wasn't until the eighth generation of yearlings began poking out to the surface. They have scaly skin, two legs, fat little bodies, about 20 lb. and 30 inches tall. These guys will be known as the Gorgets. They are carnivorous, and feed off of another surface species. Known to be called Ventalites, they are herbivores and feed off of deep-rooted plamts, that barely pop out of the sand, like a shrub on Earth.

To be continued...

OOU to Caleb; Is calling you just Caleb fine? Good first post, but you are moving a bit fast. Don't go crazy slow just keep it at an even pace. Usually there is one or more new posts every day so check back in, and your Out Of Context (OOC) are sometimes called OOU on here, but you can call them OOC if you want.
OOU to Gamer; things that are sentient can also be sapient. Might have misunderstood but it just looks like you're picking one or the other.
OOU to all; This next post is really cheap, but I couldn't think of any other at least sort of sensible way for new plant species to appear, since all I gave myself to work with was moss, and I don't wanna overdo it with the Renn.

IU; The rift in the universe was ripped open wider, as a small fleet of spaceships came through. They began to fly around, searching for a place to make a colony. They avoided the green galaxy and it's massive radiation, but as they flew around it they jettisoned some strange cargo, which flew towards the planet with life quickly. They went down towards the orb galaxy, and hovered over a temperate planet, with a breathable atmosphere, but nothing aside from slinks and moss lived there. They beamed down some grasses, trees, seeds, all kinds of things. They scanned a slink, and came up with minor traces of the mineral Renn. Wait, what? Minor traces? The slinks were literally Renn that had been radiated at a high enough level! They had changed almost fully into something different then Renn by now. The spaceship flew off to join the mother ship. All the other ships had gone in different directions. As they headed back towards the mother-ship, several of them scanned one of the dust clouds, and then practically flew at the speed of light to get away from it... back through the rift, and were gone. Forests spread quickly through Whiterocks. That was what the temperate planet was called, though it was no longer temperate. The plants were producing oxygen, and one species of plant released water. Though summers were hot and humid, winters would be cold and snowy. The trees were conifers with needles. There were several kinds of bushes, with different fruits and seeds, and the grasses varied. Some were thin and green, others were thorny and brown. Lakes began to form, and rain was common. Whiterocks' climate had drastically changed. A few deserts existed, but it was mostly wide forests that spread quickly. The mountains were almost always snow-capped, even in the deserts, and the clouds were thick and many. SLinks managed to stay slinks. They hunted each other as usual.

Edit; now we have two other people to talk to!

Wizard
OOC/U: About sentience and sapience, the life in my universe is, by my understanding of your definition, half sentient, and a few are sapient. They are half-sentient because they are aware of their surroundings, but not themselves. The energy forms however are neither sentient nor sapient at the moment.

Calebfvg
OOC/U: Welcome! If you prefer a nickname, say so.

IC/U: Of the entire universe, now two had carbon-based life, or for that matter, non-energy based life. One had animals with the beginnings of emotion and a somewhat basic memory. The other was simple cells. Of the energy-based life, the advanced KZKZA could now comprehend more, a second place for memory which was about if it was forming other life or not. It was not very advanced, but there was one trait it had that no other life, energy or not, did, and that was omniproximsensing (made up word). Basically, it could sense all around it in all directions up to the fourth dimension of time. Wait, how did that work? Well, its reactions would make it be able to sense the past, and because it could also sense where it was moving, it could also sense the future. It was not even a second into either direction, but it could be said that was true.

At the carbon-based life, in another few million years, a special type of brain evolved that worked on referential learning in addition to primal instinct. It would associate what had harmed it to avoid, and what types of food were more beneficial it would look harder for. It was a basic intelligence, but it would soon become much more.

OOU to all; I've made Cuddlefish and Sppedish, though I hadn't made the name when I was making the speedfish, so it's just waterslinks. I'll post a link if anybody wants to see 'em
OOU to Gamer; don't want to annoy you with questions, but what happened to the ploners anyway? I just got bits and pieces after they launched into the other galaxy.

OOC: I assume ooc mean out of context, but what does OOU mean? Not that it matters. And I will slow things down a bit, taking your advice.

Continuing...

Radium
The Ventalite species dash across the sand to escape the dangerous jaws of the chicken-like Gorgets, as they are larger. For further escape, they can spread bat-like wings for temporary flight. You could compare them to a Pterodactyl. As said before, they feed off of plants. When night fell on the planet, the radiation was capable of making the sand have a slight glow to it, proving that not very many species needed a decent eyesight. More flora has been sprouting above the surface, providing moisture, free from toxic chemicals that is brought by acidic mist that barely falls into the category of precipitation. This leads to an established ecosystem.

Wizard
OOC/U: About Cuddlefish and Sppedish, sure, where is the link?
OOC/U: About Ploners and questions, no problem on the questions at all. They joined MOSSA as a relatively minor member, and not much happened involving them after that started. There wasn't much about them after that point, and any plans I had (have) for them would not be fulfilled for awhile.

Calebfvg
OOC/U: OOC can also mean out of character in some RPs, but OOU means Out Of Universe. Since we're narrating one, it's to distinguish when we are in and out of it.

IC/U: That intelligence began to learn. Ofter species like it began to slowly form over the planet, each adjusting to the variant climates. It wasn't very adaptable on its own. Eventually, one of the species in a jungle-like climate, began to grow appendages that would allow it to better grip trees. A basic hand was developing.

But elsewhere in the universe, most was dark and dead. The talked about planet was an unlikely one, but it was inevitability of the sizes. Other planets close to life were interfered with by things such as their star exploding, or other stars doing that too close.

The energy-based life slowly moved on, as it always had, with almost no changes here and there including the movement of place it had. By the end of this universe, it might have the ability to sense light. But the spread of its kind continued regardless, and as before, it would find a way to survive even the end.... but what about the middle, would it thrive then?

A Form Z happened to enter the atmosphere of the increasingly intelligent carbon-based life, but not one with hands, but one of a colder climate, and in this individual, connecting, the creature became less instinctual, as something was overriding his normal thoughts. This was slight, however, but enough so that when it was on the move, it made slightly different steps. Slight enough where it pushed a rock of the ground, where originally intending to step over. The rock moved of course, and this was noticed, and then explored.

OOU to all; Hey guys, sorry about the poll. I meant for it to be one day only. I'll get rid of it soon.
OOU to Gamer; It'll be up later. Sorry, I tried to post them but my internet's getting spotty on my computer. I'm using the Mac right now .
OOU to all; I don't have alot of time, and as said above I'm on the stupid frigging Mac, so this'll be more abbreviated then I'd hoped.

IU;

Growing... Growing... Growing...

It's a strange thing. A tiny single celled creature can evolve into an enormous whale, and a tiny sprout can become a giant sequoia. Almost everything grows, one way or another. The seeder plants on kunjabu were growing to immense proportions. Well, actually they were the size of a small shrub, but remember that the Slinks and Pinks started out about the size of ants or smaller, and hadn't grown much larger through any stages of evolution. now the Skipalongs would have to grow. Thier main and very nearly only source of food was to large and thick to eat. They were dying fast. All they had to eat was a few small patches of dry moss that remained. On Whiterocks, the Slinks were also growing. The forests that surrounded them had 20 or 30 foot trees, and more growing fast, as well as deep fast rivers.

Wizard
OOC/U: About the links, okay then, no rush.

IC/U: The creature with the Form Z then explored the rock, by moving it around with its feet. This was a new idea to both life forms. After awhile, it moved on, not finding anything to keep it looking. Later though, this thought would spread, the thought of basic curiosity. After the carbon-based life form had died, the Form Z went on and eventually left the planet. The effects made though would be bigger than one would think. Over time on the planet, all of the life adapted in different ways, and the climate slowly changed. From that curiosity difference, some also explored the nearby climates. They became more adaptable. The other life of the jungle began to grow hands, but the jungle too began to shrink, as the planet was getting hotter, not colder. As it was not very adaptable, it was slowly losing the battle. It had found though that some branches were weaker than they used to be, as sometimes they snapped. It did not think to use them, however.

Elsewhere, the energy forms continued. The Form KZKZA had made a second of itself, and that one began to go as the first. The progress of these forms were slow, but that was clear. At this stage, the Form Ks were the most common, but they were the simplest. The Form KZKZAs were the rarest, but the most complex. However, as the forms went on, slight changes were made that wouldn't occur without them. A notable one was the effect of pushing rocks, another was the course of a blackhole. As one light years away, approached the solar system with carbon-based life, the slight energy variances caused by the Form Z which had left, a slight distortion of its path would make it gain power. Enough of such power, that it would attract other stars, and they would attract it, messing up the path, and leading it enough away to not be effective. It's as if the Forms knew, but truly, they were clueless... right?

OOU to all; It was the first day of school today! I'm homeschooled, and this was actually my second day of school but my siblings went to school. You should've seen the fit my little brother had when we woke him up.

IU;

KRAKABOOM! The first star had been gone for a while now, but just now went the second star. KAPOW! The third. KABLAM! KABLAM! next the fourth and fifth. The first few stars all formed at about the same time, and died just minutes apart, which was as you know etremely unlikely to happen. However, being some of of the older, longer living and larger stars, the explosion was enormous! The bright flash in the sky from the biggest star caught the attention of all the slinks on one small planet in a different solar system, though it was still very close. far less then a lightyear in fact. Most of them lived in an area of a few miles, which was huge to them. Then, a few hours later, the loud KABOOM! and then a shaking and heat. This planet was changed radically. Most of the moss and slinks had gotten killed in the earthquakes or from the radiation and heat. The few that lived, lived in a world with jagged cliffs and rocks, it was hot and dry. The only food was each other, and even that was scarce. This planet would never be the same. It was called Nekash.

Splont

The speedfish were gaining size. This was an advantage. It they caught a Cuddlefish and they were twice the size of one, how impossible would it be for them to get away? Remember that these fish aren't fish. They are in fact air breathers; no gills or lungs. but they are developing better and better breath holding skills. As of now they can go for almost fifteen minutes. The Cuddlefish began to hide inside small holes and caves in the rock, but it was very dark and if one swam up for air, they hit the top of the rock, and were lost in he darkness, so instead they tried to stay close to the bottom in the open, blending with the sand.
Now, on another topic, it the past, Cuddlefish didn't mate for life, but now, mates were becoming very emotionally attached to one another. They didn;t take mating lightly either. The males and females would swim around and watch each other when mating season came around. They found who they liked, and if the other liked them to, then they would mate.
Mates never split up. They were nearly always swimming around together. They raised their children from tiny eggs into adults. Usually females would lay about three two six eggs a few days after mating, then waited about a week for them to hatch. when they did, they were the size of a fine grain of sand. But they grew fast. After a year or two, they would be almost more then a millimeter long like thier parents. Cuddlefish usually lived for about twelve years. After the children had grown to be about three, they would swim out on their own. They wouldn't swim far though. Cuddlefish stayed in small communities near the shore.

Edit; (The Next Day) Was anybody here earlier today? Yikes! What were those codes? Does that happen alot?

Wizard
OOC/U: I'm trying to imagine it.

IC/U: Eventually, through branches snapping, falling, and landing on predators chasing the life forms, they began to realize that they could be used to attack things. Some began to look for weaker branches, so when they were chased, those would be grabbed. Over time, this also led to them understanding the beginning of tool using. There was a problem though, forests and jungles were becoming rarer. But this is thousands of years, time to speed things up. The forests continued to recede, the life forms got more advanced, but because of their poor adaptability, the life in the new climate was tough. Only the strongest survived. Tree branches continued to be sought, and one day, they saw a branch fall on it's own after something bright smashed in a tree. The branch also had some of this light, but it wasn't as much. Others might call it fire...

The energy forms were indeed clueless, but their reactions were very specialized. So much so, almost everything they had a special reaction for. The ones they didn't were only to each other, because of how often they were near one another. Ironic? Not really, just how it was.

Elsewhere in the universe, many things had happened, but none as significant as mentioned. They would become significant in billions of years, though, so not too long now.

OOU to all; What keeps happening with the sporum? I have to keep moving. I'm just doing some QPs before I do my schoolwork. May or may not be back later. TTFN!
OOU; hey, guess what? I'm back later!
OOU to all; Alright, I feel like I'm holding you guys back from evolving. Go ahead and evolve/post at your own pace. I don't want to make you post when you have any ideas or not evolve at the rate you want. Also, the narrator can be a charachter

IU; The walls of the universe hold everything in. They keep things from spilling out into other worlds or in the space between worlds. If you think outer space is nothingness, you have not seen nothingness. One day, an inexplicable even happened. In every universe something inexplicable is bound to happen sooner or later. The wall of the universe ripped open, but in a different way then a dimensional rift. Dimensional rifts are purposefully opened by a race, or powerful being, or whatever it is, but it's safe. A wormhole connection is made that will not allow most objects to pass through. It won't affect every universe it touches, and it touches every universe, and it is not in the wall. A tear in the wall of the universe is different. It affects everything, in multiple worlds, though not every world. Some beings came. Powerful beings who live unimaginably long lives appeared. You might call them gods, though that's not what they are, so they may repair the tear in the wall. It is dangerous work and I will not be able to tell you the other events in the universe while it is going on. The next time I'm here, things will have changed. so many of your earth years will have passed in this world, that every life form will have evolved drastically.

Wizard
OOC/U: I've been more busy than usual the last few days plus Sporum glitches when I wasn't.
OOC/U: I try not to back to back post unless it's been at least 24 hours between them, and I feel sure enough that my posting will continue the topic. My last OOC/U though is why I haven't been posting more this time.
OOC/U: If the narrator will be a character in my story, it will be him explaining the past (or an idea of it), and why will be revealed at the end. It'll be awhile before then, though.

IC/U: The life began to explore the properties of said strange light when it at first went for the branch as a tool. Once it noticed how the light effected other things, and spread the light (burning the place), there was a mixture of great fear, and feeling of great power never before felt by any life form in the universe. But this was a short-lived time. As the life continued, others eventually heard of such light, and tried to learn where it came from to get more of it. Eventually some looked high enough to find more of the light, but farther away... the stars. The passage of astronomy had eventually made it intelligent enough to reason... that it must get there. But how did it know the stars were balls of fire? It didn't, but the mind of such creatures thought if it could be looked at, they should be able to get there, but it was too high like a cliff right now. As all of this was going on, experiments with tools combined began to create new insights, and sparks... created fire... controlled fire... other creatures being burned... cooking... radical change in the way of life... more time... other explorations... cooperation... teamwork... socialization... almost society, but not quite. A few things were missing.

The energy forms, as said before, though had no knowledge of such things, not even the idea there was something in front of them. They reacted, but there was no idea or awareness of such a thing. They continued on despite this, as they had since the first universe. Despite their simplicity, they survived the longest, and would survive the longest... but how long?

IC/U: But these few things missing were relatively quickly fulfilled, only a few thousand years. As they were not very adaptable on their own, they lived in a smaller place than most sentient beings could. As the idea of construction came, and soon, more advances in technology, they became less adaptable, but more able to develop things which would allow them to live elsewhere. Competition for the land they had amongst their own kind however, never happened. There was too much else to worry about. At this significant time, they had begun to understand domestication. On a colder end of the planet, a similar creature, but not as intelligent began to explore tool using. This was not from traditional evolution however, but the slight variances caused by the Forms in the past.

As the two groups advanced, the colder climate ones became more hunters, while the warmer climate ones became more farmers. The hunters were weaker in intelligence, but were considerably stronger. These two groups however wouldn't meet for many years. So, quite quickly. Eventually, the idea of the wheel entered the warmer climate's group, and travel became a bigger part of their existence. But would they ever travel through the void of space? The answer is yes, but not in the way most would expect.

IC/U: Eventually, the two species met up, mostly on how the warmer-climate species was exploring by the newly invented boat, but got lost from not being used to navigation or traveling by sea. When the two met, they were different enough to not communicate and think they were only similar. This led to the awareness of themselves more from something to compare it to. Over time, more expeditions were made both ways, as the colder climate species imitated the boat-making and using skills. However, there came a time when the colder-climate ones tried to attack from fear, and that led to the first war. Meanwhile the Forms, completely oblivious, went on, as if this wasn't happening.

OOU to all; Hello guyz! Sorry for being a n00b and for not being here, but I started school four weeks late not knowing they changed the schedule this year and had LOTS of catching up to do.
OOU to Gamer; Thnx for posting! They have language, I suppose? I was about to start the Cuddlefish off with language.
OOU to all; ARRRGH! I thought I was going to have time to post something but I have to get back t work. Probably will post on tuesdays, wednsdays, and saturdays. Those are the days I have the least work, and yes, I have work saturday until I catch up . See you later!
