Improve the stomach.
you realize that you could have earned more energy by better digesting it...
and generating more heat.
you puzzle on it for a while, and after a hardened effort, serrate your stomach with valves to keep it pressurized, and start seeping inside a highly caustic natural body secretion, maybe you took it from the ants. You might never know. Yet, it seems it would work. Problem is, this time you can't control it anymore. Who said complicated organism were the best?! you still can produce heat the other way, but this one...you can't stop it.
-4 energy -12 food -1 filament=
acidic stomach every day, once a day, 12 food are detracted for four energy.
> change your general top level body plan into a long chain of small segments each very similar to an entire ant. Each abaut a 1-centimetre diameter sphere. (Sort of like a centipede, but we don't know that.)
(i have no friggin idea what you just wrote. So i'll just write it works. since it does seem to be only graphical/cosmetic with little camouflage bonuses i suppose)
you wriggle as your mass begins to shift and move. and there, in the silence of the lair, your skin cracks and shifts until you obtain a new form. a strange one, indeed.
-1 energy=
top level body now is a long chain of small segments similar to an entire ant.Acquire the ability to "hibernate". In hibernation, we will seem lifeless and feel like rock. We will also have no body temperature or make any movement. This way we can hide ourselves when necessary.
-2 energy=
a kill switch for every not useful is implemented, you realize that maybe, sometime, food might be a problem and you'll need to just wait. like now since there are no ants around anymore. you also realize the need to keep perfectly still while doing this.
Grow a brain
you start changing free unspecialized cellular filaments into mind filaments. the three extra filaments which are not specialized or rock-like are immediately atrophized as nerves begin stretching through them, and as they are placed inside the rock-like protection.
Consume 2 filaments to improve mental capabilities, (i'll go with the precedent "grow a brain" and add your number limitation) then start to think about powers you can acquire.
-2 filaments=
+0.0002 mental pointsyour cellular mind nearly explodes with the possibilities, and with the amount of energy for the new day, you come to realize importants thing:
-1 energy=
you could develop a secondary pouch which could fill up with the acid in the stomach, and earning yourself an acid-spitting weapon-1 energy=
you could try and expand your antennaes capacity to be able to emit a terrible or extremely suave voice, which could disperse attacking enemies or attract themi stop at two because "powers" had the S of the plurals, but using number limitations would be nice. from now on, unless otherwise states, i will stop at two when i see an S and at 1 when i don't see numbers nor S
Status-External:
Width:12 Centimeters of which 7 armoured with rock-like armour
Heigth:1 Cm (due to legs, NOT to extra filament)
Powers:None
Capacities:
Stomach (acidic-rudimentary)=6 food for 1 energy (at will), once a day (forced)=12 food for 4 energy
Pouch (rudimentary)=can store up to three units of food for later use.
Rock-like armour: for 1 filament, 3 filaments get rock-like armour, useful against insects.
Legs: you have obtained basic ant-like movement! this makes you stable, and makes you capable of withstanding far higher weights
Mouth (rudimentary): a bonus in filaments while eating organic materials.
hibernations protocol (rudimentary): you kill-switch everything useless until you feel something worth eating.
Cosmetical change: you know look like a long chain of small segments each very similar to an entire ant. each about 1 cm of diameter sphere.
Defenses:None
Energy Storage:2
Food Storage:70
movement Type:Ant-like Normal
Sensors: Vibration (you feel vibrations through the earth)-air waves-chemicals
Status-Internal:
Mental: 0.0004
Physical: 0.0001
Number of cellular filaments: 15
number of specialized Cells: 12 of which 8 are armoured with rock-like, 4 are the mouth.
Feeding way: Mouth (rudimentary) = Bonus in filaments in eating organic.
No reproduction ways (at the moment)
