OOU to all; every time I post something I feel like I come out sounding like a bigger dork then before! I should be here at least every other day.
OOU to Gamer; I don't suffer from depression, if that's what you thought. Just some big things going on in life which I don't want to bother you guys with now.

OOU to all; I have read more of LATU, and since the LATG universe survives and turns into LATU, Mantell I and Mantell II exist there.

IU;

Mantell III

The Fadine and the Glowers found life far easier than life on Mantell II had been, though the original Mantell was ideal. Using strange tall dry plants (grass) and the sticks and leaves they were used to, their villaige was soon rebuilt and life went on as usual. The Glower hive worked on rebuilding thier hive since it was seriously damaged during both transports. Soon, they began assigning families the difficult task of establishing new cities, but they rose to the challenge and soon beautiful silvery cities dotted the wide grassy fields. The Faxdine and the Glowers that lived with them tried to stay away from the fields which were occupied by the Civ Glowers, for the noisy hum of machines was always there.

And so life went on. Cities grew and spread all over the fields and some even in the trees as the Civ Glowers spread thier empire. Eight legged spider like creatures had been transported here with them, and they were always watching for an unwary Glower, though there was rarely a report of one succeeding. Mostly, things were safe and fulfilling for the Glowers.

The same could not be said for the Fadine or the Tribe Glowers. They were happy enough, but often they missed life on thier planet. Where was thier planet now? What had happened to it? But they tried to move on. Eventually they discovered that a small pack of hunting creatures called the TerrorHands had been taken with them. The TerrorHands had sharp claws they used for ripping up prey. Right now, they were scavenging dead insects and other such things. The Fadine felt they had nothing to fear.

By the time a mere 118 years had passed, which was about four generations for the fadine and two for the Glowers, everything had changed. The Fadine called every sunrise or sunset (of which there were three due to the twin star system) for other Fadine. They were lonely. And all the children were told stories by thier grandparents about how beautifu Mantell I was, and how amazing Mantell II was. They longed for home.

Lucky for them that the Glowers wanted to expand to the stars for other reasons.

Over the 118 years that had passed, technology had increased in the world of Glowers. They had freeways and skyscrapers, rollercoasters and sports games, Supercolliders and microscopes that could view atoms, and all were small enough to be toys for human children. The Three Queens and Three Kings had expanded the Glower empire much farther then they ever imagined. Several Colonies, though they were now more towns and cities then real colonies, were in the trees. The fields were so filled with cities in some places that you couldn't see the grass. They even built a bridge across the nearest canyon and began to colonize over there too. They couldn't pass the next canyon, so they used airplanes and other means to get there. Once they had expanded out, then naturally the next place to go was up. But it took them another few years to finally create a spaceship that was safe enough. There were three explosions, five windshield breaking, and one total disintegration. Not only that, all these came just from simulations! They never sent even one of these into space.

The first working spaceship, named the Wizard was launched in the year 120 A.L. (After Leaving, meaning after they were abducted fro Mantell I) The Glowers let the Fadines stick thier heads into the nearby cities and watch the amazing event on Television. The Fadine understood what television was well enough, so it didn't scare them, and they spoke very nearly the same language as the glowers so they could understand what was going on. One of the Queens gave a long speech about thier proud history, and told about what she had heard of Mantell, since she was so young at that time. She finished with saying that it was now possible to colonize new worlds, and eventually they might find Manetell I.

And with that they launched t. The first Spaceship. It went up, up up, and succesfully went into orbit. They then tried flying to another planet, and after several hours of top speed travel ended up in orbit around a world that was far colder then thiers, but supported the life of some basic moss, slinks and pinks. The brave astroauts landed and walked out. This was where theyd set up a colony.

"Ladies and Gentleman" Said the queen "We Give you Planet Glow!"

EDIT; Hey, five pages!

OOC/U to Wizard: On depression, I couldn't tell. The word 'depressed' made it unclear. I see what you mean now, though.
IC/U:

The life grew everywhere, each with different cultures, and ways of thinking. The three main ones began to realize they were like gods in this universe, but even they had questions. They wondered if the old gods they believed in were really races like them who had ascended so far. With the physics incomplete, it seemed to suggest so, but then Any-Time Viewing technology was made, and showed they had only arose through evolution. There was no more to it. The answer of where they came from remained unanswered.

The other millions of races though had no knowledge of them, and continued exploring and progressing. They had their ideas, their conflicts, their progress, their wars, their advancement, their awareness. The higher three noticed that occasionally the Forms influenced the paths of the growing life ever so slightly. But it was slight enough that in years, it could make a huge difference. One race's leader was influenced enough to think slightly more about peace during a war, and went for it. The higher three noticed if it wasn't for that, another race would have continued the war and destroyed them with their developed weapons. Not everything the Forms did was peaceful, but it seemed strange what they did. It was then the higher three wondered, what if these Forms were the past gods?

OOU to gamer; Since I never caught that hint about the Ploners, I'm now wondering if the forms have something to do with it. Enjoying your posts as much if not more then LATG.

OOU to all/any; Because both me and Gamer are dealing with spacefaring empires and I am planning on dealing with multiple spacefaring empires, there will be some "Empire Sheets" on the first page, since saying the name of the planet might get confusing.

The Cuddlefish's first war broke out over something very trifling. There were two Cuddlefish, neighbors, hated each other. Someimes they would throw things at each others houses. This didn't cause much damage but was annoying. Sometimes they would argue and fight, but finally, one day, it happened. One Cuddlefish attacked the other, ad they fought. Others rushed over to try and stop the terrible fight, but it ended up that many people were fighting with each other depending upon sides. After three days of planned attacks, terrible wounds and three deaths, one strong cuddlefish made himself known. He rushed out, and stopped the fight. He took both Cuddlefish, and asked "Who attacked first?" veryone pointed at the attacker. "Was it provoked?" "No." Said the attacker. The Attacker was put in a small crck in the rocks, and given food every day, but never let out.
Now, if you stole, murdered, graffitied, or commited any other crime, the leader would entance you to time inside a small crack in a rock. SOme were never let out, but it kept the criminals in line and made things safer and more peaceful.

Glower Empire

Planet Glow had ship after ship sent, set up several cities, and had flowers transported so they would have alot of nectar and food. Pinks became popular pets, and Slinks were avoided at all costs. Everything went on normally, however, the Glowers had been led into a dangerous belief. After thier three experiences of space travel, they thought every planet was safe and could support life. They flew to an atmosphereless ice ball with a thousand or two glowers in thier biggest space ship yet. They anded fine, and were about to open all the door and let the glowers come out to colonize the as of now unnamed planet. The airlocks opened, and everything changed. Whooosh! air went rushing out so fast it sucked Glowers with it. On intergalactic television, a few hundred Glowers suffocated and froze. The airlocks sealed, and emergency oxygen reserved were released. The remaining Glowers were horrified. They were returned to thier homes, on both Mantell III and Glow.
This was a dark, but importnt moment in history. They explored the solar system, learning that in order to colonize a planet, it would need to have certain things on it, like fertile soil, a temperature between 110 to 50 degrees. Anything more or less was unbearable for the Glowers and the Fadine. Yes, at first they began transporting the Fadine through space because Glowers were too valuable, but soon they began transporting them to set up colonies. The Fadine were part of the Glower Empire. They had two villages on planet glow, twenty villages on Mantell III and one village on Mantell III's moon. They set up and air dome there that supported a few Glower cities and the small tribal huts of the Fadine. The Glower empire was going on.

Edit; is it shocking to anyone that this is one of the hottest topics in the RP section?

OOC/U to Wizard (first part): The Forms are a part of it, indeed, but in what way is somewhat far from being revealed completely. Also, thanks!
OOC/U to Wizard (second part): I'm not sure, but I think the Hottest Topics is based upon the activity in the last few days or something. In that case, it seems kind of surprising.
IC/U:

The high three had noticed that the new life that had reached sentience almost all came up with different religions. A couple mentioned the forces of three main gods with varying perspectives who had created them, but they were so few, it seemed it had to be a coincidence. They could even see through time that they had come up with that belief to organize the forces, but yet it was right. There were many though that were not correct as far as the high three knew. They were wondering, still, and then found one culture with a religion that surprised them. What it was the belief that life went in cycles with small changes made by the gods of not large, but small.

This seemed to be a coincidence, but they wondered. Any-Time Viewing showed the Forms made no clear intervention. Despite this though, there remained no answer. As far as the high three could tell, the Forms were not capable of thinking outside a limited memory, but then they only had limited reactions. Then an idea struck. Because they knew there were multiple universes, but they could not leave the current, what if the Forms had come from another universe, which the gods or at least a very advanced race, sent to influence the way this turned out to create what it had.

Meanwhile, the first few of the new life had begun to make faster-than-light travel, and their first inter-species contacting. As more life was known about, eventually the high three noticed something they never had experienced themselves, war amongst the life. The high three wondered if they should intervene.

OOU to Gamer; I think I figured it out, or at least part of it.

Kunjabu

Some say death is not easily evaded, but that is not true. It is impossible to evade it. Everything must eventually meet it's end. A terrible end was coming to Kunjabu. Death can mean new life, and so does it here, though for a long time there will be nothing. A comet orbiting Kunjabu's star had for many millennium been getting father and farther away from the sun. Now, it was on a collision course with Kunjabu. KABOOM! The comet had been small, but still, it destroyed much of the planet. Trapped gas and newly formed dust exploded into the atmosphere. toxic water from the melting peices of comet spread throughout the planet. Sunlight was barely able to poke through to the planet's crust. No life forms survived, accept for a few bacteria nestled safely underground. Soon the planet's atmosphere was nothing but swirling gases and dust.

OOC/U to Wizard: What do you think it is, or the part is? PM if you prefer. And do you want me to tell you if you are close?
OOC/U to Wizard: Ah, so that's what they look like. Cool creatures.
IC/U:

They decided not to, knowing from their own pasts, that when life was intervened with in the past, it caused problems. But then they also realized they didn't think about the outcomes of creating new life, that seemed to be a unquestioned agreement. Why was that, they wondered.

The wars happened, but so did alliances, and soon federations, and united groups. Those groups advanced more in weaponry and defense, than in science and culture, the high three noticed. The militaristic of the high three understood their reactions to build weapons, but not to use, as it seemed peace should be fine. The peaceful did not understand the reasons to build, but understood why peace was not fine.

Too many people, or races, could make life violent, and too few could as well. The high three had more people who became peaceful from too few life, rather than warlike. The militaristic also followed this, as when in the past, it had built weapons, it had suspected an enemy was around, but it never was proven.

As the high three talked about these matters, the life below continued to do what it had done. And as those did what they had done, on the lowest scale in size, but yet highest in curiosity, the Forms acted as if nothing was going on that had not before. But soon, something that had not yet happened, would happen with two of the more advanced Forms. Despite their specialized reactions, this had not happened exactly before.

OOU; I'll PM Because if Alpha's coming back and if I'm right I don't want to spoil it for him. Yes, please tell me if I'm close.
OOU; If you want I'll upload some other creatures from this. I've already been working on them for A while.

The Cuddlefishes population was very small, but they still wanted to expand. Some of them sent out a small party to a strong and well known current so they could start more cities far away. The small group could travel very fast by following the fast current, but soon, they found that the water was becoming deeper and colder. It was far heavier then they were used to as well. Eventually, they decided to leave the current. Giant Kelp-Like plants surrounded them. They were in an undersea forest.
It was cold, an dark. Not much light reached the floor. The tall plants were beautiful, but something struck them as odd. What was that noise? It wasn't a speedfish, or an insect... it sounded much bigger... Something was swimming just outside the kelp forest. They moved towards the noise, and found an enormous drop off. The strange sounds were coming from there.
Most of the Cuddlefish were terrified, but curiosity got the best of them. They swam down into the deep dark cave. The water got heavier and heavier. Suddenly they realized what danger they were in. No matter how hard they tried they couldn't swim back up. They were sinking..... down down down, until they reached cool soft sand and quiet darkness.

EDIT; Wow! This is the second from the top of the list!

OOU: Twang!

IU: Raduim
Naturally, a planet that has species with a racing physical and genetic change, they would shatter apart from single species to two similar, then three, four, soon dozens popped up from the father race. Since change was a common phenomena, racial tolerance was at it's fullest. The main government had one prime minister, with a whole counsel that votes for laws, and gives fair trials. Everything was good for little Radium.

OOC/U to Wizard: Received, and replied to.
OOC/U to Wizard: Sure, go ahead.
OOC/U to Calebfvg: Welcome back.
IC/U:

So what was new with the Forms? The new thing was that three Forms, one the most advanced, one relatively simple, and the unique one caused by the high three intervention, all met up with each other at the same time. They combined, and merged into a very complex one that had more places for memory, while still having specialized reactions to things. The high three noticed this, and thought that it seemed too unlikely to be just a coincidence, and whether or not it was, it had happened. The high three wondered if it was set up so they'd evolve by the Forms, just to make the Forms evolve, but was that even possible?

The Forms seemed too simple to be such a way, but then they had another idea. Maybe the Forms weren't responsible as much as the thing that created the Forms, or even started existence. "What did start existence?", they wondered again. The new physics model showed there were multiple universes, but only one was known about. The Forms had evolved in the past universe, so either the ones who made them were there, or even further back, and had planned all this out. Why? And was this really the case? The high three had realized that even with all their abilities and knowledge, this remained unclear. How could they know? There seemed no way to know, but an answer showed itself quickly. They had created other life, millions of species, when they reached the levels of the high three, they would learn things the high three had overlooked, and then working together, they would surely figure it out.

That is, if it happened. As the main life grew and spread, they often resorted to war more often than peace. So technology grew more in weapons than in understanding the ways of existence and life. The high three partly thought this was the new direction of thought needed, and partly thought that maybe they need to intervene.

OOU; sorry for inactivity this week.

IU;


The Glower empire continued to thrive. Poverty levels were extremely low on Mantell III and an absolute none on the moon and planet Glow. Most were happy and well educated. The Fadine were all beginning to grow happier and progress further with technology. The glowers had a hand in that of course.
Eventually, they wanted to leave thier tiny solar system. The Fadine wanted to see if they could find thier home again, and the Glowers wanted to push onwards and colonize. They began to study the stars, learn all they could about galaxies, comets, stars planets, and with the Wizard and soon other working spaceships, they were able to explore other planets in safety.
After a deadly encounter with a gas giant, the Empire went back into general inactivity as far as space exploration goes. Still, it did spark thier interest. It wouldn't be long before they would push onward once again.

How can I register?

OOC to 98wizard523: Sorry for my inactivity as well.
OOC to SnappCreaturez: I guess just start posting. That's what I did. There was no specific registration method.
IC:

All over the universe, the different species did different things. They were all pretty similar when you get down to it, though. War, alliances, peace, sciences, militarizes, culture, economics, trade, religion, destruction, construction, etc. The high three were surprised on how much war there was as they never had that much while they arose. They realized why, as they had found life more precious as they grew. The millions of species saw it as commonplace.

That one advanced Form had begun to reach it's first species. The high three wondered if they should do something or just let it be. The Form began to influence one being of that species towards a pursuit of war where the race had normally believed in peace. The high three knew they could intervene, but weren't sure if they should. They decided to do so, by changing the interference in that one's brain to believe in peace more again. The Form adapted to the high three's actions but instead of changing it, it left as the physics directions made it. That one individual though could feel the differences occurring, and that had led the peaceful nation to study science more. Even if it was different than war, the interference had been done.

Meanwhile, the high three had also discovered a curious physics formula, one that explained how a universe could have formed from a single type of matter. It was called Zazaza-Matter.

OOU to Snapp (it's okay to call you Snapp right?); Welcome, and yes, to join you just give a first post describing big bang or any other sort of beginning to the universe, and continue from there.
OOU to Gamer; I think I have another Idea... well maybe.

Glower Empire

The glowers had telescopes and satellites with the capabilities of the hubble, and were beginning to see the beauty of the universe, some of them yearning to explore it.
They saw many worlds that they thought could habitable, but all were too far. They even saw an oceanic planet that there appeared to be plants ad maybe complex life forms on! Unfortunately even this was too far. One day however, they saw something else.
Positioned almost conveniently between the Orb and Green galaxies was a long... something. Enormous amounts of sca patterns could be detected... from traces of radiation to what seemed like radio broadcasts! They could make out music and words from these. All kinds of strange words, some even in their language! Terrible things as well, signals sometimes had screaming words pleading for mercy, or saying last goodbyes. Every single message or video or sound or radiation or incomprehensible alien technology or anything that went out and was lost seemed to be pouring through that crack, that rip, that whatever it was...

OOU; Hey, I would like to join, so what do I do? I read the first page yesterday so I kinda get the idea. I'll just put the big bang in as said in OP i guess. You can remove it if you need to right?

IU; There was nothing, then there was a bang. A BIG bang. And there was.... A PLANET!! WITH A PERSON ON IT! Not exactly a person, but a cell. And the cell met another cell. And they made an egg. And the cells kept mating and evolving until the whole tide-pool was full of tiny little cells.

Then, another kind of cell evolved in the same tide-pool, and for the first time in their tiny little lives, they either had to hunt or be hunted. Many of them began to disappear, and the tide-pool was starting to get empty. The force, whatever mysterious force it is that drives evolution, told them that they all had to leave, but first they had to evolve...

OOU; Yeah, you can just start.
