[color=blue]Lots of races like to think that they were the first intelligent life to evolve on the planet, that before their arrival the planet was just a hunk of molten rock in space that slowly came to accommodate life and evolution. In most cases, they are right. In others, they're dead wrong. Take for example, this planet here. This planet used to be the home of nearly five different civilizations, all composed of different races. Note "used to." Long before the present, the planet was ravaged by inter-dimensional raiders known only as Shifters. In one of the most devastating of attacks, one civilization launched all of its nuclear devices simultaneously.

Life was not wiped out at that point and would safely continue for another three centuries. One race managed to survive and thrive hiding underground, returning to reclaim the ruined world for themselves. Restoration was barely underway when the planet simultaneously lashed out against its occupants. Tsunamis, massive earthquakes, and hurricanes the likes of which have never been witnessed before ravaged the land and killed off the survivors in droves.

The planet was wiped clean of all traces of life and any signs of civilization completely destroyed. The planet had been defiled by the races living on it for far too long and it had finally lashed back out against them. Over the course of uncountable of years, the planet remade itself. If there was anyone left to remember the old world, they would be unable to recognize what their home had become.

New lifeforms slowly evolved on the planet, now standing on the threshold of intelligence and organized society. Shall these races follow in the footsteps of their long-gone predecessors, inevitably facing nuclear holocaust and complete annihilation? Perhaps they will instead redeem these forerunners by living in universal peace and prosperity, soon forging a mighty interstellar Empire?

Odds are they're going to end up nuking each-other again. Though there's only one way to know for sure...[/color]

If you're unfamiliar with the premise of the Roleplaying series, here it comes. Rather than control a single character, you control the fate of an entire race, obviously taking control of a single member of that race as need be. The most advanced you may start is Early Civilization (think something along the lines of Sumer 4100 – 2900 BCE). If you want your race to start in a less advanced position, feel free to do so. Right below this is a list of stages you can refer to. Yes, I know some Early Civilizations had a whole lot of complex instruments and knowledge that wasn't even considered again until much, much later. I'm not saying your race can't make some of those things, but this is just for simplicity's sake, really.

[list]Creature (Growl. I am an animal.)[/list]
[list]Tribal (Nomadic bands and such.)[/list]
[list]Early Civilization (Roughly anything in the BCE time frame.)[/list]
[list]Middle Civilization (9th Century CE to 16th century Europe. )[/list]
[list]Pre-Industrial (17th, 18th, and early 19th century Earth.)[/list]
[list]Industrial (Middle to late 19th century, early 20th century Earth.)[/list]
[list]Post-Industrial (Mid-20th century Earth)[/list]
[list]Modern (Late 20th century, early 21st century Earth)[/list]
[list]Interstellar (Sci-fi. Lasers, phase space drives, advanced AI, nanotechnology. You know the drill.)[/list]

[b]Rules/Character Sheet:[/b]
1) Do not make your race immortal, invincible, omnipotent, or anything else that can be considered a Godmod. Telekenesis, Telepathy, and other "magical" abilities that your creatures posses may be allowed to some degree. However, it will need to be approved by [i]me[/i].

2) Insta-killing is only acceptable in the case of large battles involving armies. If its a small enough battle that I can count the numbers on both sides with my hands, Insta-killing is [i]not [/i]allowed.

3) This roleplay is a Sandbox. There is no definite plot line outside of whatever the goals of your race are. Feel free to start a small story or event if you want.

4) You are allowed to describe your environment in anyway you please. The green areas on the map can be anything from swamps, to forests, to Jungles. Just keep in mind what the environments of other people are in the event you go out and seek them.

5) Don't post irrelevant OOC in the main thread. Feel free to put an OOC in along with a IC post. Keep it in the OOC thread, folks.

6) No Autotranslating languages. Especially if both races have different methods of speech. An insectoid that chitters through its mandibles is not going to communicate adequately with a member of the Slug-people race.

7) There is a significant probability your race may have a number of ill events befall them. Like being subjugated, conquered, enslaved, and so on. In the event that any of these things happen, oh well, so sad, too bad. Do not fret, however, as your race can only be completely annihilated on [i]your [/i]terms. If your race gets annihilated, feel free to make another.

8) Time passes at a variable rate here, 100 years might pass for one person in one instance, only 1 may pass for another person. However, this is only allowed if you have not done any significant interaction with another player. If it is decided you are living near multiple players, they need to agree to go forward 100 years or make any other significant time skip.

9) Before you make a significant advancement in stage, please say you are about to do so on the OOC thread. Judging from the reactions of other people, you should be able to gauge whether you can/should advance or not.

10) Don't be an Aravan.

Hiide

[b]Starting location:[/b]

Hiides are plants which seem to have originated near the very center of the continent; likewise, their means of reproduction mean that more Hiides only sprout up adjacent to the original, so they are focused in a very small cluster, roughly a few miles wide.

[b]Appearance: (Pic or description. Or both)[/b]

Hiides are waist high plants, with the earliest phase consisting of a single leaf. As the plant matures, the single leaf begins to split in half, drooping back down to the ground. From there, the roots grow out of the plant, sprouting up elsewhere with yet another leaf. After the plant has re-rooted, and thus reproduced, another leaf grows out of the plant, repeating the process.

They are around 4 feet high, and a vibrant shade of purple. Some strains have yellow spots, others just solid purple. Regardless, they are rather noticeable, and dotted up and down the leaf are small pores, roughly 1-2 centimeters wide.

Perhaps the most intriguing feature of the plant are, near the base of the plant, where the leaf extends, are several tendrils, about a foot long, and not unlike flagella. They seem to move on their own, normally just swaying along with the plant, but are capable of very fast movement and seem to have a very firm grip.

[b]Abilities/Traits:[/b]

While conducting photosynthesis, not only do the Hiides release oxygen, the release varying forms of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD. Courtesy of Wikipedia), THC, and trace amounts of chloroform. Thus, organisms that venture near Hiides tend to get very...trippy. While disoriented, the plants tendrils wrap around their target, pulling it to the ground, and burrow into the victim's flesh until they hit a nice artery. They proceed to chemically break down the blood, sucking the victim of any nutrients it may have had. The body then decomposes, fertilizing the plant. The circle of life is a beautiful thing.

They are also capable of very rapid reproduction rates, along with tightening their tendrils to such an extent that, once wrapped around a victim, it is near impossible to wriggle free. Escaping requires very careful slicing off of the tendril: and given the clustered together nature of the plants, and the trippy-factor, actually escaping becomes very problematic. Man.

The interconnected nature of their roots allows for nutrients to be distributed from one plant to every other Hiide in existence. Additionally, the vacuoles of the plant contain not only significant amounts of water, but an extra reserve of the Hiide gas, meaning that if a plant is cut or burned, things get that much more trippy.


[b]Culture/Disposition:[/b]

I will not lie: these plants are f*cked up. Their sole goal and desire is to repopulate and nourish themselves. Biologically, their most basic desire is that of reproduction and consumption. They are emotionally incapable of feeling compassion, remorse, or kindness. They do feel a very intense camaraderie amongst their fellow leafy brethren.

In short: evil plants, hell bent on world domination.

[b]Miscellaneous info: [/b]

If you can avoid the death-inducing tendrils, they make for a very wonderful stress reliever.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3582484.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3582484.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3582520.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3582520.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3582525.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3582525.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3582548.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3582548.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3582553.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3582553.page GMT [b]Starting location:[/b]
South Western Continent, city located at the mouth of the river.
[b]Starting Era/Technology:[/b]
Early Civilization.
[b]Appearance:[/b]
[url=http://locitp.mornproductions.com/locimgs/Kreen.jpg]Humanoid mantids[/url] with golden-brown coloration, they possess six limbs. One pair functioning as legs and the other two pairs as arms. Like most insects, they posess large compound eyes. In place of skin, the Kraylk'Sut have a thin exo-skeleton. Mandibles take the place of a mouth, leading the Kraylk'Sut to communicate entirely in a near indecipherable cascade of chitters and clicks. Kraylk'Sut, when stripped of all personal affects and attire, are generally almost indistinguishable. However, all Kraylk'Sut give off a unique pheremone only detectable by others of their race.

[b]Abilities/Traits:[/b]
Kraylk'Sut have excellent agility, in addition to their quick speed and reflexes, Kraylk'Sut posess venemous bites and sharp claws as natural weapons. Some Kraylk'Sut have been seen to develop Psionic abilities, but the trait is generally recessive amongst the race. The Kraylk'Sut's exoskeleton allows them protection from most minor injuries.

[b]Culture/Disposition:[/b]
Kraylk'Sut typically live in tightly-knit nomadic clutches that wander throughout the desert. They often feel a strong connection with the land, revering it as a divine spirit of some sort. Transportation is often accomplished by means of large pack beasts the Kraylk'Sut have come to name and domesticate, Kacht. Kacht largely resemble Atlas Beetles, but range from about the size of a Cow to that of an Elephant. The smaller, docile Kacht are bred by the Kraylk'Sut as opposed to the giant, angry ones. For now, at least. Kraylk'Sut nomadic tribes are often guided by the eldest of the clutch. The successor is generally whoever is the next oldest, unless the next oldest is disliked greatly among the rest of the clutch.

The city state of Drik'Chkit is the largest and only stationary settlement of Kraylk'Sut. The city lies on their native continent, along the mouth of the river, where it is ruled over by a single monarch. The majority of the city's population take up the trade of farmers or hunters, a small minority finding employment as scribes, physicians, artisans, and professional soldiers. It is lorded over by a single "noble" family of Kraylk'Sut, though supreme power in the family rests with the oldest living male figure. Slavers, stemming from the minority of inactive soldiers in the city, are largely responsible for the city's growth, kidnapping their nomadic brethren and forcing them to labor in the city. Their freedom is eventually earned and the slaves unanimously find it a better idea to remain in the city rather than return to a nomadic life in the desert. Despite this, nomads continue to begrudgingly trade with Drik'Chkit. As the city produces supplies the nomads have come to rely on.

[b]Species name:[/b] Arsylth

[b]Starting location:[/b] Around the Western Tip of the Island Cluster just South West of the North Western Continent (Not the big northern polar continent).

[b]Starting Era:[/b] Early Civilisation. (Think early Bronze Age here)

[b]Appearance:[/b] The Arsylth are a race of Cephalopods strongly resembling squids. Check this image

[url=http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/invertebrates/squid/label/labelanswers.GIF]here in this link[/url] for a basic diagram.
Arsylth are actually quite small with quite stubby bodies and three complex eyes on each side along with three sets of gills instead of siphons. The gills give Arsylth high performance capabilities but in reality their volume to surface area ratio is low enough that they can in fact breath through their ‘skin’. They are generally dark blue in colour speckled with lighter shades of blues, blue-greys and browns.
Occasionally an Arsylth is born in a dark shade of red with more pink shaded speckles, these Arsylth also have extra arm-tentacles which give them greater manipulative ability. The colouration and the arm-tentacle number are both related.
The Arsylth do not have a nervous system in the sense other creatures do. Instead they have networked Localised Nervous Systems where the neurones loop straight from the receiver to an available responder, not sending pain signals to the highly complex brain that the Arsylth has. As such Arsylth are not incapacitated by pain but localised networks work in correspondence to give what could be called a damage report which leaves the Arsylth somewhat detached from its body.

[b]Abilities/Traits:[/b] Because they are not the strongest, fastest, smallest, biggest or scariest creature in the oceans the Arsylth have adapted to have a high intelligence and innate knowledge on ambush tactics which it uses to obtain prey with which is feeds. Their arm-tentacles are very manoeuvrable and very dextrous which gives them ability to manipulate objects very closely.

The Arsylth favour lying in wait for prey and enemies alike, partly due to their own nature and partly due to the nature of the environment in which they live in.
Arsylth technology, primitive though it might be, is built around the environment and is designed to withstand the oceans.

[b]Culture/Disposition:[/b] The Arsylth typically live in medium sized communities, this allows safety in numbers and larger prey can be brought down by lots of Arsylth who will then “share” the food out amongst each other. The Arsylth have no religion to speak of but make up for this in their intense curiosity, they are never happy with an answer and are always seeking to challenge it and see if there is a better one behind it or not. The Arsylth have no domestication, fish are very hard to domesticate after all, and so the concept of pens or prisons is alien to them. An Arsylth does something that is deemed wrong by others is outcast.

The Arsylth live in two “settlements” which have their own set of smaller communities which have branched out from them. These settlements are situated in separate Sea floor trenches a few miles apart. The two settlements are called, “Uuauo” and “Ouuae”. Neither of the names have harsh letters in as the Arsylth struggle to produce harsh sounds under water, above water they tend to clack or hiss. Uuauo is the slightly older and larger settlement but Ouuae is in slightly better waters. The two don’t really fight each other as the Arsylth don’t see much point in doing so although when feeding season comes and all the fish arrive they do have clashes over shoals, usually resulting in neither getting them.

[b]Miscellaneous info: [/b] Err…. Nope.

[b]Abilities/Traits:[/b] The top Gaia, the Ukur, function as predators and the defenders of the group as a whole. They are generally fed excess Tui from their herd, which they supplement with hunting and bodies of potential predators. They work a lot like animals we are familiar with, except their brains, which are the Brain Tui which give them the ability to separately "breed" and copy personalities and behaviors. They sometimes emerge in feral packs without a herd to protect, but these Ukur are generally less intelligent and capable then their herd based counterparts.

The Gaia Egeria are the primary members of a Gaian herd. The actual Gaia itself serves mostly as a thick biological shell, a body and organs to hold water and their photosynthesizers, the Tui. They move them about and get them important nutrients from the world's other plant life, and they turn sunlight into energy with industrial efficiency. These Gaia also possess specialized Tui in a sac inside their body, who connect directly into the spinal cord and serve as the brain. These Gaia cannot use tools, and many thus have only basic brain Tui formations, but some more advanced ones exist for different roles in the herd, including to try out a new Ukur mind. The Gaia Egeria holds the genetics of many other Gaian branches inside (they are one species which develop into Gaia or Ukur due to select enviromental influences) and other Gaia may thus emerge in certain groups.
[b]Culture/Disposition:[/b] The Gaia are all currently in basic tribal societies, partially intelligent Egeria serve and worship their Ukur, whose only thought is to defend them, to hunt and to kill. They haven't developed any more advanced of a society and the various herds do not cooperate, and the Ukur will fight other, one kills the other followed by their entire herd.
[b]Miscellaneous info: [/b] They could develop psionics later, but I doubt it. I'll see how it plays out.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3586610.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3586610.page GMT
Appearance: The first feature you would tak notice to is its face. Two ever staring eyes will great you. Of course, if you were this close to a Zivindari, you'd notice that their lower jaw is fixed in an open posistion and a set of mandibles carefully covers much of the opening. When the mandibles are opened, a long barbed tongue hangs out of the mouth. Getting away from the head, the lead muscular armored (and bumpy) body of the Zivindari is clearly noticable. A long tail with a hock gives a sinister feeling to the creature.
More bizzare than its head are its six paris of legs. All are sythe-like but the front two pairs of legs are attached, giving the front legs an appearance of a strange set of claws used for walking. A mebrane further attached these legs together and keeps the pair that is in the middle fairly close to its front ones. The remaining pair lacks the upper part of the sythe that the others legs do. Insead it is somewhat more insect like in design.
The last feature of this strange beast is its small strange arms. They are placed just lower than the point where the neck of the Zivindari meets the body. There the small weak arms are not used for too much as the Zinvindari rarely need them for things other than griping prey.

Size- Roughly 10 to 12 feet tall at the shoulder. They reach a length of around 16 to 19 feet when measured from head to the tip of the tail. The tail is typically raised up though.

Lifespan- 18 to 23 years with multiple stages.

Diet- They are solely carnivrous and will feed on many creatures of the mountains and the lower lands. Much of their prefered meals are invertabrates or other Zivindari.

Habitat- The Ultirem Mountain Range. They typically roam the lower parts of the mountains where it is warmer.

Reproduction- The Zivindari mate three times in their lifetime at the most. Each successful time, hundreds of eggs will be produced and later laided in a cave that is guarded by the male Zivindar. After the eggs are laid, it is the males responsibility to take care of them as the females leave and never return to the cave. The tail use is for the mating process.

Nervous system- A Zivindari has no true center 'brain' and appears to run on instincts most oftenly. Instead, multiple regions which are made up of cells similar to the brain that work in unison. Each control a completely different function such as the tail or the legs but all are linked by a matrix of nerve cells.

The remaining systems in the body are somewhat not as unique as the nervous system.

Call- Clicking and an eerie moan are the main systems of call. If you hear the moan, you typically won't see the next day.

Stages of Life-
Larva- Extremely small at around 6 inches long. They have multiple legs many of which are wasted. During this time, they scavange on the meals that their father supplies them with. Since eggs hatch fairly early and are small, the larva have to grow for about a year before going into their next life stage.

Pupa- A 3 month change that gives the larva a new shape. Shortly after reaching the length of around 1 and half feet, they scuttle out of their cave and find a more seclude parts to pupate. Many will die during this time period. After this they will come out as a nymph of the adult.

Nymph- A smaller version of the adult. Emerging from the pupa, the nymph is around 3 feet in length At around age 8, they will grow to the size required to be an adult.

Adult- The second to last stage and the longest.

Elder- The final stage of life. At this point, an elder is recongnize by their lack of the tail hook but the more knarled appearance of the armor they grow.

Culture/Disposition: They are intelligent and territorial. However, they don't have tribes due to them not liking to work with other Zinvindari. Slowly this is changing as they progress towards tribal culture (I'd call them late creature right now)

Miscellaneous info: Regarding their nervous system, they don't feel pain. KEEP THAT IN MIND!


So yeah, I settled on resurrecting these vicious beings. And this time I want this RP to last if it happens long enough for me to have some fun. ]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3586768.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3586768.page GMT
[b]Starting location:[/b] The central plains/savanna/desert of the southwestern continent. (( Seems like all the action is taking place there...))

[b]Starting Era/Technology:[/b] Late tribal.

[b]Appearance:[/b] ((I don't have my camera with me this week so pictures will be out of the question for now.))

The Tsokumoi are tall, bipedal animals with many equine features. Their face is much like the face of a horse, but shorted down to nearly half the length of a horse's skull. The skull is rather tall in order to provide the animal with a large brain case, resulting in a tall, inexpressive face. Long, gazelle-like horns protruding from the back of the head develop during adolescence in males while the females sport much shorter, less defined horns.

The chest is very thick and barrel-like in order to house the enormous lungs and diaphragm characteristic of the mammal-like Centauridae of the southwestern continent. The torso quickly narrows at the hip which leads to the legs and the long, brush-ended tail.

Their hind legs are thick, muscular, and double-jointed and end in thick three-toed hooves that have a tendency to contract together when they are not being stood on. This springiness to their hooves gives the Tsokumoi extra spring in their step as they chase down prey on the open plains. The two front limbs are not used for locomotion, and as a result have shrunken and become much thinner and nimble than the hind legs. On the front limbs, the hooves have separated into three finger-like digits that the Tsokumoi have a great deal of control over, ideal for grasping and manipulating things.

[b]Abilities/Traits:[/b] With their enormous lungs and sturdy legs, the Tsokumoi are incredibly agile predators, though still not the fastest creatures on the plains. However, what they lack in speed that their grazing prey are endowed with, they easily make up for in endurance. The Tsokumoi are not sprinting predators like the cheetahs of Earth that rely on short, rapid bursts of motion that wear the creature out, but endurance runners that drive their prey to sheer exhaustion and then easily overtake their exhausted prey. In addition to this, the Tsokumoi are highly social and extremely intelligent, allowing them to work together to capture packs or entire herds of grazing Centauridae or other grassland grazers.

[b]Culture/Disposition:[/b] The Tsokumoi are highly social animals and live in large communities called clans of anywhere from 200-750 members. These societies are sufficiently large enough that specialization of work has developed in them, where there are professional hunters, toolmakers, young-rearers, etc. Unlike many primitive cultures, Tsokumoi tribes are often dominated by a number of older females who frequently expel various young males from the clan for polygamy. It is thought that this cultural development arose to prevent inbreeding in the tight-knit clans, and so Tsokumoi culture espouses monogamy in mates and polygamy is seen as something of a crime. Of course, males are biologically predispositioned toward having many mates, and so there are always a few rule-breakers.

Because the Tsokumoi rely on hunting herds of grazing animals, maintaining control of rich hunting ground is vital and not surprisingly, clans are extremely aggressive in defending their territory from poachers from other clans. Clans tend to be somewhat nomadic and occasionally move their camps of hide tents and yurts with the ever-shifting herds. Feuds over territorial disputes along with the simple desire for new, better hunting grounds, ignites frequent clashes between clans, resulting in a very martial culture. Already, larger Tsokumoi clans have specialized in training young to be tsu'miz'chiche - "hunters of men" in the primary Tsokumoi tongue. This early establishment of a warrior caste has already made the Tsokumoi a rather belligerent species.

Despite their rather violent nature, the Tsokumoi must be given credit for establishing a very complex tongue as far as primitive languages are concerned. Seashells are used as a kind of primitive currency due to their rarity on the central plains and serve as a common currency throughout almost all Tsokumoi clans.

In the mountains that rise in the northwest of the central plains, there is a very jagged, tall yet thin granite mountain that is often struck by lightning that the Tsokumoi call Hihitele'imihe - the Roost, due to all of the flying animals that nest on its jagged ledges. It is thought by the Tsokumoi clans that this mountain is the tallest point in the world, tall enough to scrape at the sky itself. Elderly or sick Tsokumoi travel throughout the plains to die at the foot of this mountain. The bones of thousands and thousands of Tsokumoi are picked clean by flying scavengers which take part of the remains to their nests to feed their young high on the mountain. According to the spirit healers of the Tsokumoi, the scavengers will take the spirits of the dead up onto the mountain, where they can easily jump from Hihitele'imihe into the clouds and the afterlife beyond them. The Tsokumoi believe that these spiritual leaps to the afterlife manifest themselves at bolts of lightning.


[b]Miscellaneous info:[/b] I'll think of something sooner or later for this.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3586860.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3586860.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3586884.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3586884.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3586901.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3586901.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3586924.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3586924.page GMT
I am deliberately doing the character sheet in this fashion, as it happens. There is a supremely good reason for it. Trust me.

*****

[b]Culture:[/b] A highly cooperative and peaceful culture has taken over this species, with a strong emphasis on farming and domestication, a task found to be remarkably easy due to the unusual structure of their vocal chords, which are divided into three separate sections each of which is fully capable of independent vocalisation. Taken together, this can produce a harmonic modulation along an exceedingly large scale, including being able to copy practically any sound another creature can make. Consequently, 'speaking' to the lower animals is not entirely a dream for this race, which uses this strange ability to heighten docility and foster cooperation in tame and wild animals alike. However, whilst any given tribe harbours little hostility towards any other given tribe, each acknowledges that their mastery of agriculture and selective breeding is producing friction, as growing populations strain limited resources to the limit - all agree that unless a compromise can be reached, violence will break out until only a fraction of the tribes remain, united under a single all-powerful leader. Despite the presence of an unexplored land just to the north of their island home, they are reluctant to leave these ancestral lands, which yet hold vast spiritual significance to them, as well as have the benefit of being known safe havens with established farms and herds. Refugees to a new land will have to start anew.
[b]Starting Location:[/b] The south-eastern islands of the mega-continent.
[b]Appearance:[/b] Standing just over 4½ feet tall (1.4 metres) at the shoulder and approximately twice that in length from snout to tail, their greatest size aspect is in wingspan, with each wing being nearly 20ft (6m) long and 6ft (1.9m) across. This comparative immensity is necessary for them to achieve any degree of flight, given that they are not particularly aerodynamic and are actually better suited to an earthbound existence. Even living in highland regions where it is easier to take off from, they are simply too heavy (with the average adult weighing in at a horrific 1200lbs, or 545kgs) for conventional aviation and rely on a unique wing system in order to achieve lift, whereby each wing is divided into anywhere between three and fifteen segments according to the individual's age, with each segment providing its own portion of lift at an optimised point during a flap. The effect is much a jerky rippling, with especially large wings sometimes beginning to 'flap' again at their base before the preceding one has reached the tip. Only the sexually mature adults are capable of flight, since they develop the necessary muscle strength and minimum number of wing sections (seven) to achieve lift-off, which also marks the first deviations in their colourings, with deep-blue stripes overriding the dark and light browns from throat to flank, signalling a readiness and ability to mate.

A further indication of maturity is the tough ridges that now begin to grow around the eyes and along the spine, where the bones of skull and vertebrae expand enormously to provide added protection for the most vulnerable locations of the body - with the underside protected by a pair of legs that are almost pure cylindrical slabs of muscle and long arms ending in claws and opposable thumbs, and the rear by a long and thick tail capable of striking like a falling branch, it is only the top and the wings which are in any meaningful way exposed. The species as a whole has a particularly unsettling habit of dealing with the flight-crippled, in eliminating the wasteful portions of their biology as soon as possible - tearing off and eating their own broken wings is a common occurrence, invariably leading to a significant increase in the number of matings with such an 'unfortunate' after the first couple of years, since they have proven they are able to sustain themselves without the ability to fly across the necessary large territory needed to support creatures of their appetite.
[b]Abilities:[/b] Aside from their peculiar vocal chords, this species is also possessed of a redundant physiology from their pre-sentient days when life was hard and death was easy. Although biologically of extreme complexity, it operates on a very simple principle - when there is plenty of food, bodily functions accelerate to a maximum efficiency so as to withdraw and store as much nutrition as possible, which can result in such sights as injuries visibly healing due to a sudden influx of converted materials. When food is scarce, the deepest energy stores are activated in the post-reproductive adults so that they can attempt to find food for their group, which has retreated into a state similar to hibernation. If they fail, they and any immature members are immediately cannibalised so that the sexually mature adults are able to survive long enough for the situation to turn around. As a direct consequence of this heritage, the species retains a number of unusual traits including a necrotoxic enzyme in their saliva that can predigest most organic matter, a series of inter-stomachial bones that function as both organ support and gastroliths, and most tellingly, a four-jawed mouth lined with hundreds of teeth perfectly designed to reduce even the toughest foods to an easily digested pulp.

I've been gone for a real long time, but I have my spurts of activity now and again.

Anyway, at no point when the Shifters attacked the Yanme'e were the Yanme'e fighting only with claws. I seriously doubt my competence as a roleplayer all the way back then (I used the damned ` key for apostrophes. I still can't believe no one said anything about that.), but I don't think I would have them clawing through 4" inches of natural armor. I did probably downplay the Shifters a helluva lot more than I should have anyway.

I think it was that the Shifters were clawing at the Yanme'e, but I so eloquently stated it didn't do much to them because of their hard-as-hell exoskeleton. Hell, I hardly even recall 4" of natural armor on the Shifters being mentioned.

[b]Abilities/Traits:[/b] The Hezcari are not generally different from each other as far as abilities go, most of the differences are cosmetic. There are three different fur colors that a Hezcari pup can have at birth. Brown, Black, or White. Their fur eventually changes to Grey with age. Brown furred Hezcari always have green eyes. Black furred Hezcari have blue eyes. White furred Hezcari have pitch black eyes. Hezcari fur is thick but soft. Their skin on the other hand is rough and leathery. This is one of their natural defences against predators. Hezcari can move at above average speeds only when on all fours. Typically they move around on their back legs to get a different perspective, or when they are in their Pride's territory. The arms of the Hezcari are strong but not as strong as the legs, this is because of the length. Almost all of the power in the arms is located in the hands. The legs are extremely powerful because they are always being used to move around on. One of the main reasons for the strength is their speed and their lunging ability they use to tackle prey. The upper and lower jaw of the Hezcari are built to use extreme amounts of pressure. Most of the Hezcari abilities are for hunting since they rarely gather.

Average Lifespan - 20-40 years

Height (On all fours) - Roughly 3-4 feet from the ground to the highest point of the shoulder.

Height (Standing) - A standing Hezcari is, from the ground to the top of the head, seven to eight feet tall. Males are always larger than the females.

Weight - 240-340 pounds, most of which is muscle.

Diet - The Hezcari are omnivores but all of them prefer meat.

Habitat - Hezcari prefer forested areas and savannah. They will move through any other areas though. Hezcari absolutely hate deserts.

Reproduction - A Hezcari female will mate at most twice, in her lifetime. This is the result of the fact that she will give birth to 3-7 pups. The only time a Hezcari female will mate again is if less than four of her pups die. The Hezcari female will stay with all of her living pups until they mate. The male will only stay with his pups until they reach a certain age, then the male will typically leave. The reproductive systems of the Hezcari are very active. This means that it usually takes only five months of pregnancy before the pups are born. Hezcari males will and do mate more than once.

Life Stages
Pup - During this stage, the Hezcari will grow to just above one foot. They are extremely vulnerable to disease and being killed. During this time they are also learning the bases of Hezcari life. Pups never travel far from their mother, and during this time the mother will be very protective. Birth to Three years old.

Youngling - During this stage, the Hezcari will grow from Pup size to about three or four feet. They are extremely resistant to disease and they are very active. Hezcari Younglings are taught to hunt and kill during this time. Three years old to Fifteen years old.

Adult - This is the last stage of Hezcari life. During this stage they grow to their final height and weight. Fifteen years old to death.

[b]Culture/Disposition:[/b] Hezcari travel in packs. Each pack consists of 15-25 Hezcari. The pack is led by an Alpha male and Alpha female. The Alpha male doesn't do a lot minus protect the Alpha female and mate with her. The Alpha male position is often challenged before the Alpha female is mated with but afterwards the Alpha male usually goes unchallenged. The Alpha female will usually distribute the hunted food and take care of disputes. A Hezcari pack is less of an animalistic thing but more of a nomadic civilization.

Hezcari worship three gods, this is one of the disputes between packs. Kraet is the God of the Hunt. Moor is the God of Bloodshed (more or less war). Hayeth is the God of Mating. Kraet and Hayeth are worshipped the most, Moor is worshipped less because of what he is assosciated with. Which of the Gods is worshipped is determined by the Alpha female. Most of the worshipping is done through the Shaman who is the only Hezcari that will paint his fur.

The Hezcari will establish what they call "Pack-land" which is their Pack's territory. If another Pack or Packmember enters their Pack-land, it will typically end with violence. The Hezcari language sounds similar to German or Scandinavian. Basically they sound like Vikings when they talk.

[b]Species name:[/b] Invinu
[b]Starting location:[/b] in the mountainous ridges around the north pole
[b]Appearance: [/b] large birds, with small proto-arms poking out of their chests. they use these to eat, as their neck is short(and thickly covered in feathers), to avoid losing precious body heat. They can fly quite well, and look somewhat like a messed up osprey with tiny arms. Their plumage comes in a variety of colours, usually grey, white, or dark blue, with a lighter underbelly on all 3, but they can quickly adapt their feathers to a new environment. An adult placed suddenly in a brand new environment will have completely replaced their feathers within 3 years. They stand at roughly 3 feet tall.
[b]Abilities/Traits:[/b] They can fly, obviously, and are very curious, like most birds. they will be relatively weak, but use their natural flight to make up for that failing. very addaptable, they will have minor trouble for a generation or so after coming south, but then be relatively fine.
[b]Culture/Disposition:[/b] Curious and friendly, unless you are less than 1'6" in height, in which case they will view you as prey. they have a deeply ingrained group dynamic, and any that act against the goals of the pack/ tribe/ town will be ostracized.
[b]Miscellaneous info: [/b]

as usual, it's my goal to expand on this via RPing. After all, most of this will be changing throughout.

Any suggestions in terms of names are welcomed.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3589770.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3589770.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3589780.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3589780.page GMT
[b]Species name:[/b] Velidus
[b]Starting location:[/b] The Velidus live on the largest continent near the equator in a forst a good ways west of the large mountain range. This forest is directly north of a somewhat large gulf and conveniently close to an incredibly large lake. Climate is just barely a notch below tropical. Summers aren't unbearable but there really isn't much of a winter season. We have both a dry season where most would have summer and varying degrees of rainy for the rest of the year.
[b]Appearance:[/b] Velidus are more or less humanoid in shape but that's where the similarities end. For one they don't have a head so much as a face on their large torsos. This face is adorned with six holes just above the mouth line. This mouth line located literally inches higher than most would guess as a location for the stomach. No eyes decorate this strange picture but they would be unneeded anyway. Bat like ears protrude somewhat near the shoulders and have movement joints almost as complex as those found in the human shoulder. Velidus are six to seven feet tall on average and are incredibly muscular and agile.
[b]Abilities/Traits:[/b] Velidus oddly enough have no spines or any bones at all really. Their bodies are supported by an incredible network of hardened muscle tissue. This makes them incredibly resistant to blunt damage but somewhat more vulnerable to sharp weaponry. What they lose in sight they make up for with two senses that no other animal combines. Like sharks they can sense electrical energy right down to the nerves. Like many reptiles they can sense heat well enough to get a detailed picture of other creatures regardless of lighting. Their obscene strength is outmatched only by their agility in their forest home. Naturally nocturnal they prefer to hunt at night. This allows them to take advantage of others who must rely on vision to gain knowledge of their surroundings.
[b]Culture/Disposition:[/b] Velidus tribes are some of the most widely feared by man and beast alike. Their tendency to kill in the night normally turns them into the stuff of nightmares. Their brutal two sided weapons don't help that reputation much either. On one side of these usually incredibly heavy polls rests an evilly sharp blade curved into the poll in such a way that stabs can be made without worry of getting the blade stuck. This sharp edge runs roughly a foot along that side and ends at a point so fine it could pin a fly to a tree without instantly killing it. The other end holds quite possibly the heaviest object of bone shattering blunt pain to have ever been invented. While Velidus are omnivores meat is definitely the most common staple in the diet.
[b]Miscellaneous info:[/b] Velidus nests are usually found in large trees. Let all who are foolish enough to wake them in the day weep at the combined fury of the tribe. They normally hunt in groups of two for the sake of covering a wide area but in all honestly even one of them is a terrifying thing to behold on the battle field. They can sense by the pulse of your nerves when you're moving and with enough study can even predict your movements up to five seconds in advance by sensory data alone.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3589831.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3589831.page GMT

Their hands can make them climb up trees to reach fruit, and have a pseudopod-like nature, allowing multiple fingers to reach out to different places. Their natural diet is an omnivorous nature, primarily feeding on fish, insects, fruits, vegetables, and the occasional large prey.
[b]Culture/Disposition:[/b] They are basically an early civilization, knowing how to farm plants. They have a simple language, and a social structure based around friendliness.

[b]Starting location:[/b] Their populations are concentrated mainly on the southern half of the eastern half of the super continent. There a four cities each dominated by a different subgroup of the Tigrock. Coed Cartref is the largest Tigrock city controlled by the original subgroup of Tigrock and it is located deep in the forest between the two rivers below the massive lake. Glaswellt Cartref is the third largest city and is located around the river in the south eastern corner of the continent surrounded by grass lands. Dŵr Cartref is the second largest city and is located along the coast at the mouth of the river Glaswelt Cartref was built on. Mynydd Cartref is the smallest city and is located within the mountains to the north of the other cities.

[b]Starting Era/Technology:[/b] Early Civilization

[b]Appearance: (Pic or description. Or both)[/b] Is 4.5 meters long weighing in at 500 kilograms. It has only one horn at the front of snout. It is built much like the American Lion though much larger and with two sets of two arms one set in the front of its body and another on rear. It also has a large spiked club at the end of its tail. Their fur is also tiger like in coloration.
The original group of Tigrock have split off into three other variants from living in different regions. The Tigrock living in the grasslands around Glaswelt Cartref have grown smaller and their coats have become yellow in coloration to match the grasslands more. While they're not as strong as the original their muscles are built in more of a way to give them greater speed on the flat plain.
The Tigrock living around Dŵr Cartref at the coast have also become smaller having more of a build for swimming in the waters around them. They've also have stronger lungs with more capacity then the others. Their fur has also turned a light blue that fits in more with the color of the water of the ocean.
Mynydd Cartref Tigrock are the largest and strongest of all. Their fur has turned white to blend in with the snow. While some of their additional size is due to larger muscles a large amount of it is due to a new thicker layer of blubber to keep warm in the cold climate.

[b]Abilities/Traits:[/b] Tigrock as large predators they are relatively quick and strong. With their assortment of teeth, claws, and their horn and club they are well equipped for fighting and hunting. Unfortunately due to how they organize themselves they are frequently using those abilities to kill each other.

[b]Culture/Disposition:[/b] Tigrock are fairly aggressive as a people respecting strong hunters and warriors greatly in their society. While the hunting is due to their carnivorous diet the many conflicts between Tigrock prides. The Tigrocks as a whole are rarely united each city being controlled by a separate pride. Occasionally throughout their history one Tigrock has been able to prove themselves to all the prides and taken control forming the Great Pride of Tigrock. The leader of each pride is always known as Lantor in respect to the original leader of the Tigrock who lead them to sentience. Each city is controlled by a single pride which is lead by two separate things. The first is the pride's Lantor who has final say in all matters for the pride. Beneath him is the Clan Council which is made up of the patriarch of the major Tigrock Clans of the city. The Clan Council advises Lantor and fills in for him when he is unavailable.
Currently there is no Lantor in control of the four major prides but despite that the four cities are enjoying a period of peace at the moment. While most Tigrock live within the cities small groups have formed outside the cities focusing on gathering the necessary prey to feed the cities some have even taken to farming some of the local wildlife despite it still being somewhat frowned upon by the society as a whole.

A few quiet signals were passed between the Tigrock and one of the archers quickly grabbed the axe using his tail and then passing it off to one of the spear man's rear hands. The four Tigrock effectively turned in a circle one archer and spear watching one of the strange creatures each. The archers were experienced hunters and this wasn't the first time they had to hit a moving target. Aiming just ahead of where they were preparing to fire when they had their next shot. The Tigrock knew if they fired while they were running the Velidus could suddenly change directions but if they fired while they were jumping up or down they'd be helpless in the air.

This.

Also, Chibi, just fill out a sheet and I'll accept it provided it doesn't look over-powered.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3619759.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3619759.page GMT [b]Starting location:[/b] [url=http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/Rndom_Guy/rpmap-1.png]This general location except for obvious exceptions, like water.[/url]
[b]Appearance:[/b] I did have a picture of the specie, but it's not with me and I have no scanner at the moment. Permians are basically omnivorous monkey people. These monkey people, when standing are their full height are statistically speaking about 5'7" most of the time. They are rather unique for having two tails that share a base by only two or so inches, and having two legs with four extra arms up front, each completely separated from the other. Their eyes are also different. They're black and beady and each side of the face has three black marble looking eyes in the shape of a side-ways triangle, so that would make six eyes all together. With these traits, other species appropriately nicknamed the Permians "spider-monkeys". They are most often seen having shades of grey with white being the most common. There are also grey Permians, black Permians, and the occasional brown one. Their face and skin (hands and feet) however are always pink and their faces are long. Like a hunting dog, their fur is thick and they have a lot of skin so that if they were to be grabbed, they wouldn't be too harmed. Unlike a dog though, it isn't just around their scruff but everywhere except on their face, hands, feet, and tails. The tails do have a little extra skin however, but nothing noteworthy. While the do have nails, they are not long or strong enough to be considered as weapons, and are mostly used to pick off ticks and other parasites.

[b]Abilities/Traits:[/b] They are extremely intelligent and cunning and even during their early creature phases, they were able to pick up sticks or stones and use them as tools to get food. They are really fast on the ground, but not enough to outrun a greyhound, but they are the best climbers in all of the forest. With two tails and four arms, they rarely ever fall from a tree and move through the trees with amazing agility.They have very good eye sight and are able to spot food from the thickest of trees and would be able to see a predator coming from nearly a mile away if they were on flat ground. They have managed to develop their own form of communication.

[b]Culture/Disposition:[/b] While the Permians aren't a tribe, they are close to being so. A single pack works together obediently, and there is a type of caste system in a pack. It is determined by the color of one's coat. Black coats were of the highest respect to put it simply. A black coat would be the leader of a pack and other black coats would act as another pack member would take whichever duty they choose, but when the leader dies, one of them are allowed to step up. Be it a battle to the death, or that all but one refuse the position. All coats must be present to witness the new leader. Grey coats basically guard the pack and the camp of said pack. Brown coats are the hunters of a pack and bring back fresh kill for the pack. Brown coats are among the stealthiest of a pack being stuck with their position. They may choose whether or not to lay down scent markers which tells others that they're in their territory. White coats are the lowest one can get, and probably the most common. They gather fruit and vegetables, put down scent markers, do things for the camp, et cetera.

The Permians as a whole aren't too aggressive to other species, but they are very territorial, especially around the main camp of the pack. The camp isn't so much of a camp, but the general area where all the Permian rest and sleep and shelter themselves, which makes this place the most valuable to them. When faced with a predator too large, they all join up together, flex their arms and stick out their tails wide. The numbers and suddenly becoming larger often scares away most predators. If they don't leave within the next few minutes, they attack in overwhelming numbers. They would use anything as a weapon and would like hit them with a stick or smash them with a large rock. Speaking of which, they aren't the strongest thing around, but they're stronger than you would expect and could move a small boulder using all the strength in their four arms. Permians are very thankful to the forest for the gifts of life and while they do sometimes tear off branches, sticks, and leaves and flowers, if they see creatures acting trying to damage the forest or trees, they can get pretty pis[b][/b]sed.

[b]Miscellaneous info: [/b] They don't like water too much, but are able to tolerate it. So if they suddenly fall in a river or some body of water enough to actually get them wet (excluding puddles) without expecting so, they will freak out. This includes being forced into water, or accidentally falling in it. They also react badly to something scaring them, so jumping out of the bushes is probably a bad idea. Like most species, they're very protective of their young.
Also, fun fact. Venom in insects such as bees, ants, or spiders won't really affect them and the most they get out of it is getting high. So they often times eat them and when they find it, spider webs as well! Webs are considered to be a candy-like treat in their culture.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3619786.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3619786.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3619883.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3619883.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3619903.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3619903.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3619987.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3619987.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3620004.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/75635/3620004.page GMT

[b]Starting Era/Technology:[/b]Early Civilization(Discovered Archery, Bronze, Stone working, etc)
[b]Appearance:[/b] Large, hairy, and colorful. The Smonqui has a body similar to a Human's, but with more hair. They have four toes and five fingers, which are connected to their two legs, and two arms. Their heads are an olive color with a white stripe going across the back. This stripe crosses the three ears the Smonqui possesses. Two ears are on each side of the head, and one is on the far back. Smonqui hair is dark brown for boys and creme for girls. Plus the two eyes are blue for males, and green for girls. Males have much more hair than females, and are known to grow long beards at old age. Also, the Smonquis have shiny silver stomachs. The mouth of a Smonqui is very complex. They have large jaws and teeth for eating. Smonquis are Omnivores, so they have a mixture of teeth spread throughout their massive jaw. A giant cyan tongue can extend all throughout the mouth of the Smonqui. Right above the mouth is a tiny nose. It's just a tiny stub with one small nostril, but it can detect many widespread scents. Overall, the Smonqui is about six feet tall, and weighs around 150 pounds. It has thick bones, and large muscles too. They are quite unique and mysterious.(Normally I post spore pics, but spore is completely destroyed on my computer at the moment.)

[b]Abilities/Traits:[/b] Large and strong, but possess many health issues. They can climb well, run at a decent speed, hunt strategically, and swim for a short time. Also they are very vocal, compassionate for their kind, defensive when strangers approach their territory, and cultural. Smonquis have a great sense of smell, average eye sight, and very accurate hearing. A small amount of Smonqui have even started exploring nearby lands for strong materials to improve their weaponry. This is because Smonqui have always loved crafting different kinds of rocks and such.

[b]Culture/Disposition:[/b] The Smonqui culture is quite vibrant. The people in the two cities have designed numerous styles of architecture and jewelry. Buildings tend to have curvy lines near the doorways, and swirly gray points on the top of houses. Jewelry is made from colorful rocks, gems, and sometimes metals found nearby the cities. The Smonqui capital is called Aukzahqui, and the secondary city is named Qiavchitqui. Although there are only two cities, many towns and villages surround the cities and stretch upstream. Aukzahqui is located in a tropical rain forest along the northern side of the river. Also Qiavchitqui is along the coast. As said above, many small villages are spread out up the river, which brings exotic kinds of resources into the Smonqui trade network. This important river was named Nabazaqui by the Smonqui people a while ago. The Smonqui believe they must name all settlements after their god. Qui. This god is supposedly their god of everything except life. The god of life is Yekatenke. These two gods share power and are in a forever lasting friendship. Smonqui cuisine is all based on surrounding farms, fishing, and hunting. They eat numerous kinds of meats, tropical fruits, and seafood. When it comes to warfare, the Smonquis will aggressively defend their home cities and towns. However, they prefer peace to war generally. Smonquis respect the environment as much as they can, while taking what they need to survive. Plus, the Hunters praise animals after they are hunted. The Smonquis are a monarchy. Their king, Zyenvaii is very strict. He lives in the great Aukzahqui Palace. Kings must pass down power to a female relative when they die, and viseversa for female rulers. King Zyenvaii is looking into enslaving foreigners to build a ginormous temple in the nearby mountains, which would honor himself. Although many people dislikethis idea, he is building up forces to invade nearby tribes. He believes this will advance the Smonqui culture greatly. Although the Smonquis have great potential to expand into a thriving empire, they prefer to take it slow, and spread their species the way they have been since their cities were first constructed. This is why there are only two cities, and small villages so far.

[b]Miscellaneous Info: [/b]King Zyenvaii is 35 years old, which is about the same age as a 35 year old human. Women have no rights except for those in the Royal Family.
I'll be RPing as a small group of citizens, who are each skilled in a different area. One is a 17 year old boy, who is very skilled with spear fighting and hunting. The second one is an 18 year old girl, who is an excellent archer. The third person is a 21 year old boy, who is really good at operating boats, and using axes in a variety of professions. The fourth person is a 15 year old girl, who is a skilled healer. Lastly, there is a 68 year old man. He is very wise, and was trained his whole life in the art of taming animals. He has many different animal companions, which have helped him often in his daily life. Dart blowing through tubes is another skill this man uses every once in a while. He prefers not to hurt others with his darts, but he knows a lot about the different kinds of darts available, and how to customize them using poisons, parasites, and such.

[b]Species name:[/b] Talmekel
[b]Starting location:[/b] Some rain forest on the Southwest continent.
[b]Appearance: (Pic or description. Or both)[/b] The Talmekel are an intriguing species, and their physical appearance only adds to the curiosity inspired by their existence. The Talmekel appear as tall figures, slightly hunched over and covered in scales of pale or bland colors, with a poly chromatic plume of feathers covering their head and spreading down all the way to their tail. Their scale color ranges from blue, red, teal, white, and many other colors of this kind, while the plumes are much more vivid and prismatic. Reaching down from their shoulders are two arms, reaching about two-thirds of the way down to their feet, and their legs make up for almost one half of their body mass. Their appendages are thin and skinny, and their hands and feet have three long fingers, as well as an opposable thumb on each. Their tales are long and thin, like Jaguar. Their mouth and head is beak like, yet covered in the same scales that the creature itself is.
[b]Abilities/Traits:[/b] The Talmekel have superior speed to many others, and their rate of technological advancement is very high. Their agility and speed allow them to be great warriors, hiding in the many trees of their forest.
