It was meant to be barely smart enough to be able to reproduce and maintain itself alive, and be able to learn maybe one or two tricks(which would consist of reacting to a simple input with a specific action) if tamed, so I think non sentient would fit it.

[IcyTea31]

It's in the name: a sentient being can sense, and make decisions based on that input. These decisions may be hardwired, so it does not necessitate free will. Instincts, such as reproduction and survival, may work as these hard wires, but are unrelated to sentience; a non-sentient being can have something definable as instincts as well.

$$$ check


A giant tangle of flesh, stone, and metal about 15 yards long in all directions, made of several oddly intertwined networks of thick tendrils about 1 meter in diameter on average. Grant it intelligence above average mortals by giving it several less intelligent secondary brains to control movement, and one larger brain for sentience, and processing destinations for the secondary brains to attempt to move towards. Have it move by using several dozen large tendrils designed to move it from one stable position from the next. Have several smaller creatures, fungi, and plants live within these behemoths, providing it with some nutrients, and make them have the ability to hibernate and gain stockpiles of nutrients to make treks.

Do you people actually keep up with this thread or just skip to the end whenever there's too many posts in the way? >_>

Why does that remind me of a zerg overlord?

SHHHHHH NO REASON

But yeah, I was thinking of them as an inspiration.

I tend to skip large parts of the ic thread once I stop caring (like the second of the sun/world creation debate). For whatever reason it's usually easier to keep up with the OOC thread.

I do skim a lot though.

I do keep up with both threads, but that's mostly because I have way too much free time on my hands.

Oh well.

Pricecheck on the previously asked life form, but with all the fluff about sentience/non-sentience previously mentioned taken into account. Don't bother giving the pricecheck of the previous one(but only that species, I still want the rest).

Edit: and thanks Demonic spoon for that summary, might be useful. I do find it funny that my species is the only one with linked

[~Neri]

I keep up with both threads.

[Demonic Spoon]

So two questions I guess. Can we give essence to other gods?

If yes, does anyone want a magic system? If so, I'd be up for making it at the discounted price I get from my sphere, at cost if you give the essence to do it, so you'd be saving essence, and I'd be getting influence, a deal where both sides benefit.

[~Neri]

I'm interested in magic. However I have something in the works that is a very Nilva styled kind of thing. Perfectly fine with letting it mesh with your system though~

[IcyTea31]

Aurosseu already made some magic. Publicly, even, if you know to read between the lines.

Well, I mean even if you have it in the works, if you let me make it you'd be saving essence (probably. your own sphere bonus might play a role). I don't mind if it doesn't mesh with any systems I made, though that'd be cool too. I just want there to be more magic, since I'm the god of magic. Basically, I'm hoping that if I can give people options for cheaper magic systems, more magic systems will be made.

My offer still stands.

[~Neri]

My system is pretty sphere based.

[Demonic Spoon]

My system is pretty sphere based.

...it summons wolves of ambiguous gender? Or shapeshifts people into wolves with ambiguous genders?

[~Neri]

Nein~

Well, it definitely can involve wolves.
