Have some Mass Effect music!

The little one is FINALLY sleep and dinner has been had. Soooo here we go for more of an explanation involving Animalis Mutatio!

Lore that I didn't put in because I was unsure about if I should or not. But I WILL add it now - if @Kitsuyumiais ok with it?

A few hundred years before the ARK project there was the "Eiocha" project. The aim of it was to use animal DNA to enhance human abilities in different military fields. Unfortunately, they didn't produce any desirable results so they ended up changing the objective and sent all of the experiments off on a path to a newly discovered system. The logic was that "fate" would decide if they lived or died. Well... they lived. VERY much lived. 

Ten years before the events of the ARK project Earth picked up a signal from the Orion cluster. The experiment that they had sent off to die had survived and were now capable of space travel!  

Upon arriving on Gaia they saw it was similar to Earth. Their world had technology that works together with the planet's eco system instead of destroying it. They were also shocked when they we greeted by human-like creatures that could transform into animals at will. The humans apologised for what their ancestors did and an alliance was formed. A very strained one. The Gaians have been split in when it comes to associating with the humans. (Which is understandable.) Some are welcoming and willing to see humanity prove that the alliance isn't for nothing while others have a high distrust and dislike for humans due to what was done to their people. 

Current generation of Gaians would have grown up around this friction and also have their own opinions about it. 

----

When I stated "A humanoid form" this can mean that all their features disappear or that they are left with some. It depends on how their body reacts to the pheromone that is released. 

An example - Isleen is able to hide all of her animal features when she changes where as your character can't because of her response to the pheromone. Your character is still able to change into her original animal form but she is just not able to hide her animal features when she changes over to her humanoid version. 

When is comes to the different "races" there are no sub-species. They are all the same apart from appearance and animal type. Much like different races in the real world.  For example - when we fill out a form it asks what our race is it calls it "Ethnic group" and the list will look something like this:

White:
English, Welsh, Scottish, Northern Irish or British

Irish

Gypsy or Irish Traveller

Any other White background

Mixed or Multiple ethnic groups

White and Black Caribbean

White and Black African

White and Asian

Any other Mixed or Multiple ethnic background

Asian or Asian British

Indian

Pakistani

Bangladeshi

Chinese

Any other Asian background

Black, African, Caribbean or Black British

African

Caribbean

Any other Black, African or Caribbean background

Other ethnic group

Arab

Any other ethnic group

/////

In our case it would be something like this:

Prey:

White Rabbit 

Predator:

Snow Leopard

I hope this has helped @Kissa

I am open to suggestions on how to change stuff. :3

*well holding up a single finger, the tip of the silver womans digit splits into five equal parts, swirling around for a moment before it takes on a slight, metallic, gold hue. Before lightly poking @Mystheroon the shirt, leaving a little golden star for his effort* good job! *before flicking her finger as it extended a good couple feet before rubber banding back to the normal appearance of her silvery finger*

(This was not sarcastic, just wanted to practice describing goo physics a little bit and saw this as a fun moment too)

[Starcry]

I'm loving all the new characters.

[Mysthero]

I have a very long day at work tomorrow! I'll be happy to post replies throughout the day if anyone has any ideas for a thread! Until then you all have a great night!

[Gardsorm]

Sleep well, dude. :3 And good luck tomorrow!

What is the status of Gaia now? Did it meet world end like other 6 planets? @Starcry

[Starcry]

I totally forgot about that. ^^;

I'l sleep on it and get back

[DreamsnThings]

So... as someone playing a sentient living metal slime... i was wondering if i could... up things... abit... and basically have things set up where theres enough liquid metal for me to play.... multiple copies of the same characters at the same time in different locations... and rather then saying i work one specific job... i essentially function like the ships version of alexa or siri... except with a physical body that can travel through the vents of the ship... so i can basically be called anywhere, to help with... anything i guess @Starcry

[Kissa]

Even better if the copies are chibis. Like the the more copies there are, the smaller they are : p

I can 100% make chibi me's to run errands, but im more so trying to open up my options for rps by being able to show up anywhere, anytime when someone wants

[Starcry]

Sorry I haven't posted. Something came up which meant I had to move home. I'll reply once little one has gone for a nap.

[Starcry]

Upon rereading the overview I get the feeling this is a PSO episode 1 thing going on.

The overview says that the planets "had become unstable." So that opens way for me to say that (with the permission of @Kitsuyumia) that Gaia has only just gone dark. (Lost contact to the outside.)

This has happened:

A few large comets hit the planet so the core became unstable. This meant that inactive volcanos became active again, Earth quakes became more frequent and began to appear in locations where they hadn't before, the weather system became unpredictable and harsh, and the atmosphere became mildly toxic. (Without a specialist suit a native of Gaia can breath for an hour. Other races last anywhere from a few seconds to 30 minutes depending on a different factors.) 

Most Gaians left the planet because they could no longer bare the conditions of their home world. Those who enjoy extreme survival situations have stayed. A few business owners have also decided to stay due to the fact that they didn't want others to steal their trade. (Herbs, minerals, etc) They had been trading with ships with fuel and other supplies that were exclusively from that planet. However, a few months ago any contact that was had ceased. So far no one has dared to investigate due to the dramatic shift in state of the planet. 

Has this answered your question @Kissa?

[DreamsnThings]

I now realize people are allready going... so should i just assume im fine to... start something somewhere?...

[Starcry]

I'd assume so.

[Kissa]

Comets initiating the world end for Gaia sounds like a good plan : ) @Starcry

I figured that it would the wisest decision to make my char same race as your bunny girl because at least physically they are very similar. However, I would like more distinction between the subraces/ethnic groups than dividing them in prey and predator. I was thinking that a race is important part of a char's identity, because every race has its own traditions, culture and behavior. So I would think that creatures like panthers, snakes, sharks, owls etc have all their own culture, traditions and so on. So even when one is removed from a place where they lived among their own kind, those behavior patterns and values have already influenced on their identity and beliefs. This is why I would like there to be actual subraces. 

However I understand that I'm just hopping on something you created, so if you feel uncomfortable with this change then I will figure out something else : )

Maybe I could take part of the same planet @Mysthero's Yaru is from and dedicate that part to naturally developed fluffy people. Or then make whole planet for them, but that's something I try to avoid because we have only 7 planets and we are soon going to run out of planets if there is just one race per planet.

Mysthero is playing a plain boring human sadly. Are you perhaps thinking of Yaju? That would be @Busterbugs planet.

[Kissa]

Nah. Humans aren't boring : D I should get an appointment to a optician, because clearly I'm blind. Yes. Busterbug's planet. 

[Mysthero]

No worries, happy to be of help! ^-^

Do you have discord? I ask because I would love to discuss this with you. If I am honest, everything I wrote about Gaia was just pulled out of my ass exhausted brain! So any/all input for this world would be very much welcome. When I edit it I will be sure to credit you for it. Also feel free to rewrite what I have done if you can think of a better way to word what I did. :3 

While I can be good at world building my sleep deprived brain doesn't let me word too good at the moment! XD; 

[Kitsuyumia]

@Starcry

Oh and in the overview it wasn't the planets themselves that were unstable. It was the stars the planets orbit. And if you want your species' planet to have gone dark as you want thats fine. I just wont chose it as one of the original prime homeworlds because I do plan there to be some story explaining what happened to the 7 stars of the primary founding worlds of the Alliance. And as to why all of them somehow became unstable and eventually collapsed all at once (which is strange in themselves as the stars were of different sizes and intensities.)

[Starcry]

@KitsuyumiaI was thinking that it also provides a reason for future missions for characters to do? 

[Kitsuyumia]

Yes some events will  follow this planned story line.

[Kissa]

I will PM you my Discord @Starcry : )

[Kitsuyumia]

Oh yeah people can start posting now xD

 

Just in case if you were not sure.
