This universe is not Lovecraftian. Don't worry, if any alien is out of continuity, I will modify it accordingly. I think I may allow DanSmithers' slime their psionics, since they only work on Micronoids. It will be rediefined as chemical / electrical influence or some such sciency mumbo Jumbo. Else, it dangles a little too close to "magic" of which there is none in this universe.

As far as cell-cell communication: It is a real thing in real life.

That's what I was going for with the chemical bit. It's part of how our very own neurons work.

Did my sheet - you'll have to judge how allowable it is.

Species: Concentrus Mammarius, A four armed, six legged lanky mammalian race that have evolved to process multiple streams of information quickly and efficiently, due to their excess of limbs. As such they tend to be able to focus on many separate tasks at once without affecting their overall performance. They also have a very loving and supporting nature, and their culture supports close interaction between all members of society, intermixing family groups. As such they have a tendency to not appreciate other races personal space and are often violating other cultural "boundaries" unintentionally. For example, it is not unheard of for one to attempt to breastfeed a child of another race, often to it's parents horror.
Individual: Th'thix Ar'Arus, a male of the species with a typical unfit build. He acts as the Primary Docking Officer, and also as an Outgoing Communications Officer.

Hopefully, Cheesecake and Xantalos can get their aliens up today. I'll stat putting your alien descriptions and whatnot in the second post this afternoon, and with two more completed aliens we can get started. Be sure to read your alien descriptions in that post, in case I have added/modified anything. Hary Baldman - perhaps it is a shortsightedness on my part, but I can't figure out just how your species will break my game, so it is acceptable as is, for now.

Cool, I'm in. I'll post a sheet in the morning.

Alien species: Ood
Alien individual: Ood 2 Delta 3, 57, Head Waiter. He was sold to the ship, along with several others, who are working in various positions around the ship.

Please write out the relevant bits. I want to get a feel for how you intend to play this race. Also, in this universe, there is no telepathy, though your species can communicate in various hard to decipher nonverbal ways that other species would not perceive.

You know, this is a processed Ood. One of the kinds that don't have their brains external. So it'll have that communication ball, allowing it to speak in that pleasant tone of English. And as for how I'd play the species, I'm going to try to play it as canonically as possible, with infrequent violent outbreaks every once and a while, mysterious murders, etc., etc. For the most part, he'll just be that really obedient alien waiter.
Is that okay?

[Ozarck]

The first four alien profiles are up. Please review them and see if they meet your expectations. If you want to make alterations, or suggest additional roll modifiers, I am open to that.
We'll give Xantalos and Cheesecake some time to post before we start. I think tomorow evening (~8-10 Eastern Standard / GMT+4) I will post game start, if not sooner. Sound good?

That's fine. I do not follow Dr. Who, so I am not familiar with the species. The reason I wanted it written out is so I don't have to do a lot of research to run the game -everything I need to know should be in this thread. Also, bear in mind that this is an advanced civilization. Violence and crime have consequences. How successful you will be at hiding your crimes remains to be seen.

What kind of environmental suit would a puddle of slime wear, exactly?

Thanks. Taking care of a family member for now, so the sheet should be up in 3-5 hours.

It looks fine! And I really just like imagining an Ood in a tuxedo, it looks surprisingly cute.

An interesting question. Perhaps a coffee thermos? A rather large one, I'd guess.

Looking forward to it. I hope your family situation is well, and if not, you have my condolences.

[Xantalos]

Just babysitting.

I have now created the weirdest astronaut ever. I win at Roll To Dodge.

I love that the whole breastfeeding joke netted me negative interspecies biology
