Kind of creepy really, I mean you look and see yellow slime and when you come back you see that it's been replaced by a bucket of chemicals and green slime.

Though we've been over this, that's what wee little robots are for.

It also raises the question of how they deal with the slime problem on their own ships. A ship full of them would get gunked up fast without some kind of countermeasure.

It could be able to evaporate with ease. Or maybe it could be converted into a solid form that can be flushed out an airlock.

The thought of giant slugs in zero-gee, just floating helplessly and spinning about bumping off walls is kinda hilarious.

Plot twist: That slug may not leave slime, because evolution! Or not. Ha!

I kinda changed some stuff. Still need to think up a character. I do have some sketches on that one, but still nothing complete.

Too lazy to actually link and/or quote the post. Click the link above!

...so yeah, they drink mercury and breathe with hydrogen chloride. Does that make sense?!

Also, their lifespan is longer than humans... but it takes also longer for them to grow.

And if anyone wonders what the hell that red text is, it's Deadpool's medium awareness.

Just one thing: can you do one where the text on the side looks alien?

I might alter my character's back-story just to make this a reality.

There's also one another species which breathes a gas. (I don't remember which one)

Not specified what gas (it only says it's like oxygen for it) so that one could also... be Darth Vader!

If it makes things simpler and you'd like to, I can change stuff. I wasn't thinking of using oxygen and water, since that's... too simple? And I wanted them to be more different from the so-"dreaded" humans (as we're not supposed to have these guys around). But hey, I guess I can join the main stream if it makes things better in the long run.

And I'd reply earlier, but Internet was like "oh look, they replied. Want to rectify on some stuff? lolnope I gotta connect correctly, but make your browser load forever, not even giving you an error."

Mercury doesn't make much sense as a respiratory fluid, a better alternative might be CO2, Methane, or perhaps HCN, if you're feeling adventurous.

>respiratory fluid

Respiratory sounds like it's a fluid used to breathe... or is it something used to drink? You're confusing me with this sentence, since how does one breathe with fluid? Or I am missing the meaning, since English isn't my first language?

Water = Mercury

Oxygen = Hydrogen Chluoride

I did consider O2's equivalent to be Methane, but... isn't Methane a little reactive? With stuff like oxygen? Or it was strictly the combo of Nitrogen, Oxygen and other trace gases known as "Earth's atmosphere?"


okay nevermind. Language barriers! [Spongebob rainbow face]

Methane wouldn't work, though. It has lower boiling point than the breathing gas.

The melting point of fluid has to be between -80 °C and 100 °C/-112 °F to 212 °F, though. I kinda specifed that range as their "survival range," and the breathing gas has to be in gaseous state at these temperatures.

THIS IS COMPLICATED...

...I gotta go, anyway.
