Sorry Org but no 6 races is heaps for a small map like this, don't worry i'll be expanding it later so you can join then. You'll be on top of that list.

Edited rules list read for more details.

[SHAD0Wdump]

I'm thinking to go deity,but before I submit a profile,I'd like to know more about the possible spheres.(basically are they the same as the six spheres for races or are they of a separate 'deity' exclusive type?)

[Sean Mirrsen]

For fungus' sake people, it's not "diety", it's d-e-i-t-y!!!

The last of these games annoyed me to no end with it, now this one too!

Uum no they're not related to the creature spheres. I only used the terminology "sphere" because it was used in previous iterations of Evolution, you could have something like technology, sun, fire, storms, or even flesh. use the previous threads for inspiration if you really need to.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Uum no ... use ... inspiration ...

Gotcha doc.

You saw nothing. <_<==>_>


Alrighty,

Name:Keelat
Major sphere:Air,she uses the wind to manipulate precipitation and slowly change terrain,and if angered,sweep it through those she sees not fit to prosper.
Minor sphere:health,she can strengthen those that hold her in their hearts against disease and revoke wounds from their bodies.Or inflict ailments on the unworthy.
Weakness:sympathy,it is actually rather easy to sway her heart,to actually anger her you would have to do something mighty drastic.

[Shikogan]

okay as a general rule, maximum of 5-6 deities ok i don't really feel like spending an entire hour on each turn.

[Dwarmin]

Name: Oulatahe

Major sphere: Animals, Oulatahe has mastery of the creatures of the world. He can bend their wills to his own, or even posses the spirit of one himself.  He is known as the patron saint of hunters and outdoorsman.

Minor sphere: Rage, The driving force of survival is anger-those who harness their rage against death to beat impossible odds gain his favor. His followers say that only through the thrill of the hunt and bloodshed of honorable combat may they even come close to communing with him.

Weakness: Oulatahe's connection with nature makes him brutally primal and unforgiving. Like any animal, he has no concept of mercy or pity-only strength and the will to survive. As such, he is a lonely deity and his followers are often the same. It is said that only the cooling breeze of Keelat can quench his smoldering anger when aroused.

History: He was one the first Deities to rise from the primordial nether. Once his control of the world was absolute, but as numerous races began to gain intelligence, they were no longer under sway-such qualites they possesed, like logic, mercy and kindess were alien to him, and he disowned them as abominations upon the natural order.

[Servant Corps]

Name: The Rodhian Alliance of Minor Deities, Entities, and Races Dedicated to the Colonization and the Furthering of the Rodhian Cause By Using Peaceful Means, With Violence as a Last Resort

Major Sphere: War. What can you say? Before the RAMDEARDTTCATFOTRCBUPMWVAALR was formed, the RAMDEARDTTCATFOTRCBUPMWVAALR well, killed each other in utterly pointless warfare. The Allaince is more than willing to use the skills they learnt from warfare to gain followers.

Minor Sphere: Economy. Everyone knows that you cannot win a war without a military, and you cannot have a military without the infrastructre to back it up. A functioning economy is key to fighting warfare.

Weakness: Disunity. Let be honest, the RAMDEARDTTCATFOTRCBUPMWVAALR doesn't really act as a single unified entity.

History: Once upon a time...Evolution Stones bombarded the island of Rodhia. These evolution stones caused the 6 races on Rodhia to evolve very quickly. At the same time, the mass sentience of Rodhia creating of powerful Dieties. The result, as you would expect...was war 500 years after the Evolution Stones hit Rodhia. The racist Xenomorphs and the cannabalistic Bhuur square off against...well, everyone else.

As the Xenomorphs was being defeated, a rogue Xenomorph hatched a great idea to end the war and let the Xenomorphs win. Since evolution stones work on livingbeings, why not make the stones living? The stones would then evolve sentience and therefore grow more powerful and effective at promoting evolution. This will lead to the Xenomorphs to evolve quickly, thereby causing them to become 'supermen' and win the war.

The plan had one flaw: The Xenomorphs evolved out of their racist ideology, and thus, decided to stop fighting. Eventually, a peace treaty was signed, in which everybody agreed to work together in this Alliance.

Eventually, everybody evolved into perfect beings, and there is no war, injustice, or poverty. And everybody agreed this was boring. So when one legalistor proposed to interfere in the development of other planets for giggles, the rest of the Alliance said, "Why not?" It's not like they had anything better to do...

[Shikogan]

oh and for creatures you must say what rank your abilities are at eg, claws(rank 3), Flight(rank 2). I'm just trying to see if each creature fits within the 40 EP limit, I would appreciate it if you could do this yourself.

[SHAD0Wdump]

I'm just going to refer to the roflmaoblahblahblah as Corps.Sounds fitting to a war-monger.

Also Shikogan,you might want to pay attention to the previous posts,DUKE and I have already submitted our entries.

[Shikogan]

done and edited. just need the players to submit their creatures and make sure they fall under 40 EP.

[Wimdit]

Right. The Yrb. Just so everyone knows, Iituem came up with the idea and not me. I'll be stealing some of the fluff he wrote as well.

Race: Yrb
Singular: Yrble
Genitive: Yrben

The Yrb is the result of a melting pot of micro-organisms brought together in the midst of a world undergoing a surge in psychic evolution. It can best be described scientifically as colonies of fungi infected with various specialist bacteria and other microbes living in symbiosis. To the layman, it looks like large mats of mould. Large mats of strangely unappealing mould.

Individual colonies of Yrb can be described as Yrbles, but the distinction is a loose one because overlapping colonies can mesh. For the sake of population counts, a single Yrble can be defined as a quantity of Yrb containing enough supplementary microbes to function as an Yrble in the event of being cut off from the larger colony mesh.

Diet: Detritivorous, but for the purpose of this game, they'll be omnivorous. They can digest all manner of dead creatures and plants, their staple (at least for the moment) being dead leaves.

Physical attributes: Being a collection of fungal colonies, the Yrb lack any means of locomotion. Migration is currently accomplished by extending long stretches of hyphae and transferring specialized 'seeding' microbes to the ends, forming new colonies. This gets the job done, but it tends to be quite risky over any long distance. However, the Yrb do possess an important advantage: they lack any vital organs. Cut off a large enough piece of Yrb and it will still function as an independent Yrble. Stab it, and it will just re-route its connections. Burning works, mind, but generally Yrb is difficult to kill simply because of how time-consuming the necessary large-scale destruction is. Excising or poisoning specifically the specialist microbes that serve as its 'brain' will just render it harmless fungus, however, and killing off the fungus that serves as its body will starve the neural colonies in turn. The Yrb, while lacking traditional sensory organs, have specialized neural colonies which can sense nearby creatures, as well as approximations of the surrounding environment. Such colonies can focus their pereception on a small area in order to make a fairly accurate picture, but lose their wider perception while doing so.
Traits: Tough hide rank 5 (29 EP)

Environment manipulation: Nothing so far. As far as protection from predation and the elements goes, growing their central nodes within trees and leaving satellite nodes beneath is the peak of Yrben innovation.

Social abilities: The Yrb mindset encompasses certain basic concepts and events, which it can communicate via direct physical contact. It lacks distance communication at this stage, but concepts spread from a single Yrble via information exchange can reach the entire network of colonies. The limitation upon Yrbs is not the ability to express concepts, which can be copied from 'mind' to 'mind' exactly, but the ability to grasp them in the first place. Basic exchanges of information, nutrients and agreements on available land to colonise are being conducted between Yrbles, but without a unifying social structure this cannot emerge beyond the most basic agreements.  Trade is still enforced by mutual threat between parties.
Traits: Language rank 2 (5 EP)

Combat abilities: None.

Special abilities: The Yrb, while sadly limited in their psychic abilities at present, do have the ability to plant basic emotive thought. Right now this is generally used for the purpose of fending off other creatures by putting out a sense of aversion: 'I do not want to eat this, I should leave this alone.' In addition, since their mental structure only vaguely resembles that of other sentient beings, the Yrb have a certain resistance to the powers of other psychic races.
Traits: Psychic prowess rank 1 (2 EP), Telepathic domination rank 1 (2 EP), Psychic resistance rank 1 (2 EP)

Total is 40 EP. Made up one trait which shouldn't be too difficult to implement.

Edit: Starting location is B-14. That IS the forest tile in between the two water tiles, right?

[Siquo]

Question: Cannibalism and Carnivorism are just about the same, does cannibalism really have a different rank?

[Pandarsenic]

Wimdit, I'm never going to be able to take the Yrb seriously because of that name.

Read your fluff out loud with a serious voice and face. Seriously. Try it.

[Shikogan]

Well i meant canabalism as an addon to carnivorism, i somehow neglected to mention that. Also canabalism affects you're population growth rate BUT it means that the ones that you do have will be stronger.
