Name: Squamatae Volans (A scientific name using latin for flying lizards. The beasts themselves don't really have a name for themselves, as they use a different type of language which doesn't employ traditional gramatics. More info on that later)
Picture or physical description: Simple: Flying lizards. Complicated:
         These beasts are a most peculiar race. They share the general appearance of the common Earth lizard, save for some striking differences. Most obvious are their rather large, leathery wings, which allow them limited flight, and are their main advantage in their natural biotope, the mountains. Other differences are the trachees in the front of their bodies, allowing them to respirate while eating, though these do provide a weak point in their otherwise strong scales. They are larger than normal lizards, varying in size between a small dog and a large horse. Internally, several more differences are found. Their ribcage has grown together into a single plate. Though this limits their movement, it's a great aid in their defense, and allows them survive hard landings. There's a very large difference possible between the members of the species. These differences seem to be defined by the situation of their childhood, and not by their individual genetics
Racial characteristics: Limited flight, cold blooded, slow metabolism, Dimorphism (large differences possible between species members)
Biography: They have a pack based tribal culture, which is loosely governed by a group of elders, which remain on a secluded city deep in the mountains. Every half year, just after the biannual migration, a ritual meeting occurs there, where experiences are shared and the leaders of the individual packs are enforced in their status. This also marks the start of the mating season. Mates are often chosen for live, and as such these meetings have a strong cultural significance.
Solar system, planet, where at the planet: Starting planet, coastal mountainous site. Semi local migration. (They migrate to the coastal side in the rain season, spread across the entire mountain range in normal seasons and towards the continental side of the mountain in the dry season. (They do this in order to get dominant upwinds))
Technologies: Vocal tradition, fire, ...
Building to start with: Temple lab combination. The council of elders. Not really a building perse, but more of a place / institute
Anything you want to add: Not much know, might add more later.

Not the most original or inspired sheet, but...

The only problem I can find with that is a single typo, which doesn't even matter. Accepted.

Once the others have turned in their sheets I'll finalize the map and put the sheets in the OP.

  Name: Silicoids
    Picture or physical description: http://sirian.warpcore.org/moo1/imp-pix/rbo1-sirian-5.jpg
    Racial characteristics: Immune to pollution and hostile environment but have a slow reproduction rate due to their crystalline bodies.
    Reproduction: They reproduce asexually by taking a shard of themselves and put it in a nutrient rich bath. Eventually it grows into an individual has some of their experiences of their parents. 
    Biography: Once ruled by a ruling elite eventually turning into a kind of direct democracy
    Solar system, planet, where at the planet: Starting planet, the mountain range in the center. They are located close to or inside a  volcano within the mountain range.
    Technologies: basic form of mining, early form of geology, land manipulation.
    Building to start with: Lab
    Anything you want to add:
Good researchers but poor combatants
Silicon based Life-Forms

Accepted, if you remove the "all the prior knowledge" thing. I know it's from what it's based on, but that's a bit too overpowered eventually.

[jaass]

Hmm ok, I was kind of meaning they pass on experiences. I changed it anyways.

Hmm ok, I was kind of meaning they pass on experiences. I changed it anyways.

Now that's not overpowered aside from making historians sad. Accepted.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

The historians would be less than sane.

[jaass]

Alright, thanks I changed it back. I am assuming that the game will start soon.

I made a minor change to my sheet. ((Basically just a note that there's a rather large difference possible between species members, caused a bit by their parents, but mostly by the conditions in which they were born.))

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Updated the Cactisapien sheet.

[Kaleb702 Games]

Alright, later today I'll finalize the map and update the OP. Right now I'm drowning in hilariously broken things.

[jaass]

Thanks for updating Kaleb.

[Kaleb702 Games]

IC active. It is recommended not to post too frequently, so the less active can post. Perhaps a rule?
Posting must look like this:
Person1
Person2
Person3
Person1
Rather than this?
Person1
Person2
Person1

Also interesting fact: the ocean floor DOES have seasons.

I made a free for all text based game once, which used a set of rules.

1. There must be 2 post or 1 day (whichever is shortest) between the posts of one player, unless roleplaying requires otherwise
2. The amount of turns that have been taken by each player are counted in a spoiler. As such, if someone lags behind, he can do multiple turns at once.
