Turn One - The Beginning

The beginning. The cosmos itself has combined and created a world finally compatible for something rare for the infinite universe; life. This lifeless rock had an atmosphere, magnetism, even a moon from the remaining energy of the cosmos, slowly twirling around it. The planet slowly aged, the atmosphere thickening, air and oxygen growing, molecules, atoms.. and cells. Oh how they flourished, species being created constantly.. This includes the new species of before, five small and almost insignificant species swimming in the primordial cell pool.. What do you do?

Species Name - Kashyykius Genericus
Appearance - Bright green
Adaptation - Chlorophyll

Species Name - Bacillus Sanguineous
Appearance - Dark red, with flecks of color based on it's last meal. Membrane appears to be translucent.
Adaption - Extremophage: capable of digesting most sources of nutrients off the bat, provided that adaptations are in place to prevent poisoning. Does so at a slower rate if it has not developed specialized means of digestion for the form involved.

Species Name - Golus Edificus
Appearance - Single cell organism, color varies from blue to green depending on the light. The membrane appears dull but if the cell burst its cytoplasm shimmers in the light.
Adaption - Membrane and cytoplasm contains larger quantities of minerals which makes it harder to break or digest, but also makes it more weighted and slow impeding the cell overall.

Species Name - Amandnus Minor
Appearance - A cyan single cell organism that slightly glows
Adaption - Slightly more streamlined than a normal cell

species name: canisia lupusia minor
apperance: greenish-seethrough, single cell organism
Adaption: resilient membrane.

Golus: Evolve our membranes to contain even higher densities of minerals, improving our defense but further slowing us.

[Dustan Hache]

Bacillus: Go to the ground and start to try and break down bits of sediment, while evolving some enzymes for the purpose of doing so, with the goal being to replicate rapidly.

Apologies, I cannot update today due to lack of time.

[Chiefwaffles]

I assume it's not too late to join?
Also please forgive my horrible and atrocious crimes to binomial nomenclature.

Species Name - Gilvas Planetis
Appearance - A fairly standard light blue single cell organism
Adaption - The cell is more energy efficient than others and requires less nutrients for most if not all tasks.

Here's my submission if there still acceptable.

Species Name - Lopus Sinilarus
Appearance -  Single Celled Redish black organism.
Adaption - The cell more efficient at integrating and managing foreign elements.

Spoiler: Organism If you want it (click to show/hide)

Name - Swarmus Majorum.
Appearance - single celled blackish grey organism.
Adaption - The cell attacks other organisms and consumes them from the inside out, reproducing in the process.

evolve defensive stuff

Name:death
Appearance:A murkey black cell in the shape of a scythe
Adaptations: can cut other cells and absorb those parts for nutrients

This good?

Seems unbalanced and unoriginal.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Okay then give me suggestions to make it better

[Dustan Hache]

Try to use actual bacteria names, or at least something resembling them. Look at how we named ours for examples.

remove the shape as until a solid membrane is made it is basically formless, not to mention unrealistic to expect it to take the shape of a scythe.

The ability is rather unbalanced because "cutting" the cell rips the membrane open and destroys the cell. You would basically be a superpredator in the early game, and that is hardly balanced.

Some suggestions: think up a good bacteria name using our examples and Wikipedia.
Remove the shape, which is unnecessary at this time.
Change your ability to something utilitarian or defencive , such as being naturally poisonous. Those tend to be a bit more balanced while still proving useful.

[Shadestyle]

Species name: Infantem Puppis
Appearance: Black tinted sphere shape with cillia.
Adaptation, Toxic waste product, discourages predation upon territory.

[Sl4cker]

Species Name - Orthomyxoviridae mutans
Appearance - Bright pink, rodlike
Adaption - Viral - Is a virus, and has all the qualities that go with it, like being able to infect other cells and not being alive.
