You-niverse!

The possibilities are limitless...


Once upon a time, a gateway to other realities was accidentally opened by a space faring race. They used it to travel to other worlds, and get resources, money, do whatever they wanted and commit any kind of crimes, then pop back into their reality where nothing had happened. One day, they found a universe that was not ready yet. Nothing was there. The big bang had not yet occurred. They found lots of worlds like this. Then when they would come back, it would be filled with stars and planets and life. What happened in that time? It had only been one or two days! How were universes created?


The answer to that, my fellow sporesons, is you! There are a few minor rules, but mostly, it's whatever you want! Create your own Universe! Tell about it's planets, it's life, it's history! Grow up species, then grow up a new one when you get bored with the old. What's at the center of your galaxy? What's the shape of your galaxy? Now, before we get to creating, here are some...

Rules

1. Godding is under no circumstances forbidden. However, put some time and thought into this. Three posts doesn't get you a space faring empire, guys.

2. no sexual references or swearing.

3. You never RP as a specific person. You just tell the story of what you want your universe/galaxy to have in it. Sort of, documentary style. tell about it.

4. Details! Details! This is, again, like a nature documentary of sorts. Explain the aspects of ecosystems or histories of races. Don't just have them do random stuff.

5. This is sort of like what's said above. Ic posts should be about a pararaph or more. You're welcome to post as much as you like. If no one else will, I'll probably read it.

6. Pictures are welcomed, but not required. I myself do not have the ability to put in pictures due to the quality of my internet.

7. for purposes of this RP, Sapience is partially or fully developed emotions, Sentience is awareness of themselves and thier surroundings. Nearly all creatures that are multicellular should be sentient, but it is up to you whether sapience (emotions) are present.


Registration
Joining is a bit complicated. Just read through this and you'll understand what to do...

To join, there are no character sheets. Just say (I've read the OP and I'd like to join, then post a descriptive paragraph or two at least, of the big bang and first billion years of everything falling into place.

Origami Sigs

You absolutely have to go there! New Entity makes gorgeous sigs! Look at the bottom of this post for an example.

Ooc; a couple more things, the beginning of your universe can be nothing like mine, and the beginning of life can be nothing like mine. This is supposed to be about what you want. So if you do want something similar or the same, go ahead, it's just not required.



silence, and a never ending emptiness, so empty it didn't even have a color. Then BOOM! The universe was born. It expanded at an incredible rate! every hundred or so earth years it had expanded many miles. It was almost 30,000 miles long before even a million years had passed! It kept expanding and expanding, until it was about half the size of the earth's universe. Then it slowed down, to about a foot every few million years. It was still quite fast, but not as fast as before. Then the dust clouds came. From whatever caused the life giving explosion came a tiny cloud of dust, which expanded as the universe did to make thousands of enormous dust clouds. They began to form into a sort of odd shape. At this point, space was freezing, with not even a single star to warm up anything. They froze and hardened. Now, the first star formed from the size and pressure of one huge dust ball creating a new kind of... anything! As of then, there was nothing but dust! It was gas. Hot burning gas. The star began to expand with heat, and soon there was a relatively tiny star. Smaller then most in other galaxies, but what it did was incredible! Dust clouds came near it, and caught fire and turned into gas itself. Stars were forming in a small area. They were quite close to each other. Planets formed in a very similar manner. A ball of frozen dust was warmed up by one of the stars, forming into rocks and minerals. It orbited around the star and gained molten core. Other planets followed. New gases were created, and formed atmospheres round the planets, which led to water, and then, life followed. A comet had passed by an extremely hot and radio active star. An odd mineral, known as Renn, developed into a tiny life form. This was a moon sized comet, so it managed to take with it a thin breathable atmosphere. The tiny creature became an ant sized creature, with no legs or arms. It just slunk long on its bell eating ice and other Renn based life forms, of the same species of course. Then the comet collided with a planet, and life thrived there on that cold planet. Other planets developed life in different ways, but it was mostly comets and meteors bringing tiny animals to a new world. The galaxy was a collection of close knit stars in a small circle, with occasional stars hovering in the blackness a moderate distance away. This universe was born!

OOC: Sounds like an interesting and fun idea.
IC: In the beginning of this universe, there was nothing except an particle unique to here to be known in the future of this place as Zazaza-Matter. To most species though beyond this universe, it was called just the Big Bang Beginning. Boom it went, and over the years, the first matter appeared, then the first stars, but unlike most universes, the matter to appear was not as stable. Before many atoms could form, this defect caused only the most stable matter to remain. Most of the universe became empty, unusually empty though, even for an universe. Despite this, as I said before the first stars began to form, but no galaxies yet. The hydrogen combined, but there wasn't a lot, so few stars anywhere formed. No planets yet, as stars were not yet common enough to supernova to create materials necessary for planets. It was an unusually dark beginning...

Hey Awardga... weirdomarge... can I just call you Gamer? Anyway, I've seen your posts on a couple of other things, one was Life After The Grox and I loved the story of the Ploners so I look forward to some very interesting posts here.

OOC: Hey 98wizard523 (or do you prefer a shorter name?), thanks. I'll see what I can do. Also, calling me Gamer is fine.
IC: Because only the most stable hydrogen formed, the stars were more stable as well, but they'd still have a limited lifespan, about the equivalent of a few billion years for what a normal star would survive for around 1/3 that. As more stars formed, but not many remember, the metaphorical competition for the remaining got... worse. Wait, what?

Remember because stars were rare, instead of being around 5 light years away on average, they were almost a thousand light-years away on average EACH! Pretty rare indeed. But when they formed, they often formed small to medium-size stars, as the more common universes did near the middle of the life, rather than the beginning. So far though, not a single planet had formed.

As the first few billions of years passed, more stars formed, and less hydrogen was readily available. After about the equivalent of 4.7 billion earth years, bang went the first supernova, and with it, more heavy materials? Indeed, in fact, much more than the normal star would produce. The heat of such a concentrated fire fused almost 95% of the material into things heavier than helium. The other five percent remained hydrogen or helium. The most common material of the new fusion was also not light materials like carbon or oxygen, but in fact... iron.

Desperation can force a man to do that which his ancestors shunned, to deny everything he once was and any morals he once held, and work solely for his own survival.

Every living thing in the universe was rapidly approaching an inevitable destruction. They all sat and watched as atoms decayed and the energy from long dead stars floated off into the empty blackness. The few survivors (the races who had been significantly advanced and with the proper hindsight) had built massive installations in days long past, built of the most stable of materials and hiding inside the energy of hundreds of harvested stars. They'd outlived the universe, left floating amiss in the final bubble of existence, surrounded by true nothingness, true chaos. Those who looked outside lost their minds in those terrible empty places in the sky. One of these beings had an especially firm resolve, or at least a peculiar kind of madness, that drove him to new lengths. His race was dead, be it in a few years or a few seconds. But they didn't have to be gone forever, they would not have to be forgotten.

The Grey Goo scenario was intricately familiar to our new hero, Duan Zhin. His species had worked long and hard to eliminate the results of hundreds of worlds ended by their own scientific ambitions, devoured by a mass of unthinking, unfeeling automatons. They stored each and everyone of these abominations in the Database. They were too large, too complex to survive their Ragnarok, but he could create something better. It was smaller then an atom, and would be capable of working with any sort of energy or matter to create more of itself. It would multiply and slowly branch out, repair itself as it could. It wouldn't last forever, but it could outlast them. It could even hold the records of their race, their history, their technology, their genetics, their minds....It could make them anew if it could last....last till something, last till anything. No one even felt it happen, Duan inhaled, and then was nothing but a collection of heartless machines carrying out their new programming.

Survive, multiply.

(This universe is going to effectively end and then have a second Big Bang.)

Ooc; Leestriter, Great first post! Just make sure that the second big bang happens quickly. Not so quickly that you can't get a bit of story in, but quickly enough so that you aren't already talking about space faring empires too much. Gamer, you can call me Wiz or Wizard.

Ic; A second galaxy had formed, but far different from the first. All the stars burned relatively cold, and produced a green glow that came from a particularly strange form of cosmic ray. A small meteor, carrying more of the ant sized Renn based Life forms flew into this small galaxy of green radiation. They hit a planet orbiting third from a large green star. The radiation warped and twisted their appearance, thier chemical construction, and in a matter of days a new species was born. At the same time as life was evolving in the Green Galaxy, the Orb Galaxy (name of galaxy spoken of in first post) gained plants. It happened in much the same way as Renn had become a creature. a bit of unpure Renn was radiated with the same intensity as the others had been, but the other minerals mixed with the Renn changed the outcome. tiny moss like plants, smaller then a pencil tip came to be. They ended up on a planet with the Renn based life forms, or Slinks, as they will now be known. Some of the Slinks began to eat the plants, and slowly evolved into Pinks. A smaller, plant eating creature. Now there was a food chain on this particular planet. Moss eats sunlight, Pinks eat Moss, Slinks eat Pinks!

EDIT; Alright, I would like this to be a rather fast moving Roleplay, so if you do not have time I understand but please expect at least one response a day and try to post each day if you do have time.

OOC to Wizard: I'll try to post at least 6 times a week, since that's how often I'm usually on the Sporum right now.
IC: Excluding hydrogen and helium, iron was now the most abundant form of atomic matter that existed. Atomic that is. Because of the defect in the past, energy that couldn't form matter normally was much more common. This created an interesting effect on how the physics worked between stars. From the extra energy, space was slightly denser where there was just space. This made it harder to move through, and with the distances vast, this would slow down travel significantly including for particles. However, if a spacefaring race ever harvested this energy, they could travel closer to the speed of light easier than most universes.

But that's in the future, not now, as planet formation has not yet occurred. As slowly more stars formed and died, over time, the weak gravity gradually pulled things together. It wouldn't be for trillions of Earth years they would meet up though, but at the rate of things, maybe then would life as we know it events occur.

As the energy between stars could not clump into matter though, inevitably something else began to form. It couldn't stabilize enough for matter, but it began taking another form. It still could be called matter, but it wasn't using the conventional structure. For instance, if matter was energy + energy + energy, then this was the squared version of energy - energy. It was significantly different. Rather than stabilizing into matter, it was more about the different ways it could push and pull each other. This remember is on a greatly small level. Billions of years passed. Stars got slightly closer, some died, some became, but on the energy level, one combination of actions began a form of cycle that would cause it to propel itself when it encountered a specific type of energy push, and it would push towards such energy. A form of life had begun!

Orb Galaxy

As Slinks and Dry moss became more common on dryer planets, and Pinks and wet moss became more common on watery planets, life began to evolve in different ways. The slinks of one hot dry world developed a thick exoskeleton to protect themselves from... well... each other! Most Slinks ate other Slinks, and the few that began to eat Moss slowly turned into Pinks, as their digestive system had to change to handle plant life. Pinks, who became the primary hunting target for Slinks that did not wish to be cannibals, began to get very fast to escape the cumbersome slow slinks. They developed little stubs to hop along with, rather then slowly sliding along on their bellies. On watery planets, it was another story. Slinks and Pinks were both very fast, as they could easily swim and maneuver through the water. Moss found ways to easily flourish and evolve. Now there was algae, moss, and even an early form of lily pad, which bobbed just beneath the surface of the water.

Green Galaxy

Another creature entirely had evolved here. The star's cosmic radiation turned the slinks that landed on a planet near them into a beast of sorts. It was the size of a garden snake, and it could stand up on two "stilts" made from it's double stemming spine. It hunted tiny sparrow-like birds, which had mysteriously appeared after a meteor crash. It would later be realized that those tiny birds evolved from a meteor carrying Pinks. The birds only source of food was an even tinier creature. An insect already lived on this planet when they got there. A little brown beetle that swam under water and laid thier eggs on the bottom of the lake. The larve and eggs of these tiny beetles were the main food source, but both Standers and Divebirds tried thier best to make a snack out of the beetle while it was swimming. Standers (the snake-likes) lived solitary lived, but Divebirds lived in large family groups by the shore of a lake, and swam under water (Hence thier name) both for fun and to catch beetles.

Stars had their own history, but most of it was the same through and through. Grow larger, flare here and there, repeat. The small forms of energy though were more interesting. As time passed, the forms got slightly more complex. Some forms went after the energy of other energy forms, a primitive form of carnivores, but they didn't usually last that long from going after the same thing that gave them structure, and the fact many of these forms were far apart from each other.

So far, replication had not yet happened, all these forms were just the result of the energy shifts, but that would soon change. One form, which will be called Form A in the future, began to do a very unusual combination of shifts. It would lead to it pushing other energy around into the structure it had itself where-ever there wasn't its form. This wasn't enough to get life going elsewhere though, since it was just the structure. All it would take though is the right combination of that and another energy shift to give it a direction and what to go after. This might sound somewhat simple, but it was much less likely and much more complex than it sounded.

As the next few million years passed, eventually arose one form, to be called Form B, that pushed together energy to make another Form B whenever the energy in the area was just right, and that condition was very rare.

Over the next billion years, many slight variations emerged, not from evolution, but just how inevitability pushed them together. Only around 1000 Form Bs were ever created by another Form B, and remember a billion years had passed. Form C began to form at around this time. What made this different was that it used more than one form of energy to determine where to move, otherwise it was Form B. The life was advancing slowly, very slowly in fact, but there was more than enough time. Right?...

Okay, scratch the every day thing, just at least one post a week. Might've been a little too demanding to busy sporumers.

Edit; bumps do not count as a post.

OOC: Great idea! But in this RP, shouldn't OOC be OOU?

IC/IU: A great mighty universe, filled with beings of power and intelligence, twinkled as it slowly deflated... like a balloon... Many of the beings started to realize the sudden shift of power as the universe started to shrink. At an extreme rate, to. Many civilizations and beings were wiped out in milliseconds. Soon, the center of the universe was the size of a house. Then a ball. Then this period. And then... Nothing. Nothing now. Nothing seemed to exist.


Eons later, a tiny swirl of empathic matter, matter created by empathy, emotion, or action, formed a small ball of energy. This energy soon realized it's huge potential, then released it in a huge explosion of light and empathy. Atoms formed, and got slowly more complex, until the first galaxies were born. In these galaxies, stars started to twinkle for the first time, and leftovers from the stars forming created planets. And on one of these planets, some extra oxygen got into the atmosphere, raining down on the planet in huge torrents, creating oceans. Then, molecules came together, and a miracle happened...

OOC/U to Wizard: It's hard to have people post often.
OOC/U to Wizard: Is this post okay?
OOC/U to Alpha887: Hey, good point. I suppose it could be said that since we're presenting it as a documentary, the character is the narrator, but maybe I'm looking too much into it.
IC/U:

Time. That is a strange thing, but I'll talk about that in the future. Matter, that doesn't matter as much you'd think. Over the next many million, maybe billion Earth years, the energy forms got more complex, eventually forming the to be called Form K. What made this signifigant enough to stop the fast-forward was this form had a form of memory. It was powerful enough to remember what form it went after last, and it used this to go after it again if it was present.

It had been so long however, that the stars had finally produced something worth noting, the first planet! It was a small rocky world, about the size of Earth, but almost entirely made of iron. This might not seem like much, but this solar system was now the heaviest and densest in the entire universe. Slowly other stars began heading here, including the energy forms. But they would reach here long after the star the planet orbited would die out.

Over that time, nothing worth noting happened that wasn't already said. Now this was so much later, the end of the universe was almost here. WHAT?! How could this be? Well, trillions of years passed by now. Not sure what you were expecting. The final remaining pieces of matter were gone, except for the iron planet which was dense and stable enough to not be ripped apart by the long ago bang pull of space.

The energy forms near, to be called Form Z had reached the most advanced they would in this universe. Enough to move by the direction of four senses, other forms, raw energy, matter, and the form of memory. These energy forms pulled by their sense of matter, and gravity, went into the iron planet, sinking to the center and the densest point. As the last energy that could reach here did so, all remainders of Form Z, and some more primitive types, the planet, and one other particle remained. The universe was at it's end. Wait, what was that one particle? It was Zazaza-Matter.

OOC to Alph; Thanks for showing up! You might be moving a bit too fast. We're all at the begining don't worry about catching up. Sorry to spam but check out Alpha's RP a galaxy of life.
OOC to Gamer; For just a second there I thought you were quitting the RP! Anyway, yes, the post is fine. Remember, godding doesn't exist on here in the way most Sporumers think of it.
OOC to everybody; I'm kind of loose bout OOC and IC on here so if you want OOU that's fine but 'm just going to stick to OOC, though it would be cool if this RP had it's own way of saying that.
OOC; to everybody;Should someone PM Lee?

IC; Life had been moving slowly for a few million years. In the green galaxy a few new forms of beetles and insects formed, but all were just small winged creatures. The ORB galaxy was growing. It was about three times the size of the green galaxy and a near perfect circle. The only thing changing here was that on wet planets Pinks were developing tails and Slinks were developing both Fins and Tails. Here is a quick sort of description of each kind of environment known.

Watery Planets

There are many different kinds of moss and algae, and even one species of rooting plant. The Slinks and Pinks have not yet developed gills so they stay near the shallows. Slinks use their long fins to occasionally slide along the land like mud-skippers. Pinks live their entire lives in the water. Some forms of tiny planton soze life does swim around in the water that Slinks and Pinks feed on, but these only exist on planets where the conditions are right.

Desert or Dry Planets

Slinks are heavily armored with exoskeletons. They live solitary lives and when they see each other they will either mate and then leave or one kills and eats the other. Pinks have developed almost legs! they use them to skitter along and get away from Slinks on some dry planets. Again, this is a factor that depends on the planet. Some dry planets, the Pinks do not have these stubby feet.

Green Galaxy Planets

Standers, a snake like predator, now hunted in small groups of two or three. Dive birds feed on many different kinds of insects that flourish here. The beetles lay thier eggs in the warm shallow water, which the birds dive for. There are only two planets with life and they are almost exactly the same. Any plants that end up on these planets turn into tiny algae or die off entirely.

Edit; should I request lock on this? I mean, I've tried to make some Roleplays before and they both ended with me annoying people and I don't remember but I think I was banned from the sporum for a few hours. Sorry I'm talking too mcuh, but my point is, should I request a lock and forget about this?

OOC; Eh, sorry. Kinda' went Bang-happy there... Anyway! Yeah, I'll move slower now. I really like this idea! I think it's great!

IC: After the first lifeforms, simple oxygen-emitting cells, evolution seemed to slow to a halt. For a billion years, nothing happened...

Green Cluster Galaxy

On this one planet where life started, things weren't any new for a few hundred million years. And then, a meteor smashed into the planet, effectively evaporating half of the ocean. Yet, life moved on. It was slowed, but it moved. Now, we must leave this planet, and follow a shard of meteor that zoomed to a distant arm...

Planet KL3G-2

This planet, a warm planet with tiny, lifeless lakes of water, sat tranquil, unchanged for millions of years. And then, a meteor shard started a course straight for this very planet...

OOC; I'm not sure if that was slow enough. Was it?
