i'd like to start a rpg here, i don't have any ideas yet but i know i want it to have aliens in it original species are welcome and encouraged.
-
how about a species that evolved in space instead of on a planet...would that be possible?
-
Provided that it did not require oxygen, warmth, or food and water, yes. ;)
-
Lol, I created an alien species like that a few weeks ago out of sheer boredom. The species I created live off of light-rays.
I don't know if that's helpful.

ok a kind of mix of venber...helmacron (assuming they don't breathe instead of being able to breathe water)...and...I don't know.

all great ideas people i myself have created a species and am hoping to use them in an rpg here are the details
Species Nyac
Physiology: Humanoid
Homeworld: Nya, 4th out of 10 with 2 moons, both of which have been colonized. The planet orbits a red giant sun in the Dembari system.
The planet has high gravity, which may account for their strength; a Nyac male is as strong as 5 human males.
Average height: Males 6'6"
Females 6'2"
They have four arms and four hands, and 24 fingers, with six fingers on each hand. They also have two legs, and two feet, four toes with two large toes on each foot. They have one mouth, two ears, one nose, and six eyes, with the ability to see in all wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum, including invisible light.
Unlike most humanoid species males have their testicles located inside the body.
Skin color: Females: Pale gray. Males have tiny chromatophores all over their body that change their skin color. They may have used this ability to attract a mate. This adaptation is believed to be linked to their emotions.
Hair: Both genders are bald.
Body temperature: 32°C
Mental ability: All Nyac possess mid-level psionic abilities, including telepathy and empathy. Five years after reaching Adult status they gain complete control over their mental abilities in a transformation known as the Narcon-Gleesh or final stage.
Technology/Development: The Nyac have achieved local space flight and have launched many artificial satellites that monitor the condition of the colonies on their two moons. They also have invented transportation vehicles that are powered by thought. They have developed Zero space travel technology
Society: The Nyac live in a society that excels in the study of science, mainly in the fields of physics and bio-genetics, many of the plants and animals found on Nya have been artificially created. The people are ruled by a council of their wisest citizens. Both genders are treated equally. The people have many political freedoms, including freedom of speech and freedom to worship. Because they are telepathic, they also have the right to free thought.
Religion: The Nyac have a basic religion in which they worship Qraj the god of order and Paox the god of chaos. The religion is completely voluntary.
Family: The Nyac are a family orientated species. Children stay with their families for 15 years. During that time they go to a large education facility, after which they train as an apprentice in a various craft for five years, where they learn the life skills necessary to better their community. They reach the Age of Significance on their 20th birthday, during that time they achieve adult status within their community.
Evolution: The Nyac evolved from smaller gliding mammals that flew from tree to tree, using a thin membrane stretched between their six limbs. As they grew larger and denser, and learned to walk upright, they lost the membrane and with it their ability to fly. One in 500,000 Nyac is born with this membrane still attached.
Atmosphere: Nya has an atmosphere composed of 65% oxygen, 25% nitrogen, 8% carbon dioxide and 2% trace gases.
Calendar: The Nyac calendar consists of 420 days and 14 months, they are: Grod, Fexar, Xiot, Martas, Mizrig, Loctel, Udar, Safod, Darshig, Apgen, Jrok, Tarpen, Nerrog, and Vapeer. Each month has 30 days, and each day is 32 hours long. Every 50 years a new age begins this practice began 500 years ago.
Geography: Most of the planet is inhabited; however the uninhabited portions are covered in dense forests. A large ocean separates the five main continents.
History: 2000 years ago the Nyac were a tribal society. They waged war on each other over territory. 500 years ago however, they had a renaissance period led by Bonlin the Learned that greatly enriched their culture. 200 years ago they abolished war, and 50 years ago they colonized their two moons. 20 years ago they invented Zero space engines and 15 years ago they joined the Federation.
Flora/Fauna: There are many different species of plants and animals on Nya, such as the Devashi, large predatory reptiles that live in the forest. They are pack hunters and their territory stretches for miles. They were created by the Nyac using the latest in genetic engineering as a way to balance the ecosystem. Or the Kintish-Noxima, large toxic fungi that blanket the forest floor and act as decomposers.
Language: Nyish is the native language on Nya. The Nyish alphabet contains 32 characters, 11 vowels and 21 consonants.
Homes: There are two types of housing structures on Nya, Single homes and Family homes. A family home has seven to eight rooms and two floors. On the top floor there are two to three sleeping rooms, and two washrooms. The lower floor contains an eating room, a spare room used for storage, and a fantasy room. A Single home is the same as a family home, except it only has one sleeping room and one washroom. In both houses the floors are reached by standing on a circular raised platform called a Lift, which uses antigravity gyros to move the house occupants between floors. A Nyac upon reaching the Age of Significance is given a Single home until they choose to become life-mates with another person at which point they will be issued a Family home. The house is equipped with an artificial intelligence that constantly monitors the life signs if its owners. If the owners of the house were to die then the house would notify the deceased's next of kin who would then call the medical scientists to have the body removed to be studied. If the owner has no living relatives the house may contact the medical scientists itself. Death Customs: The Nyac have an interesting way of looking at death. They see it as an opportunity for study. There is an entire department dedicated to the study of death on Nya.
Reproduction: The Nyac reproduce sexually with two individuals joining in the copulation and subsequent procreation. To enhance the experience a couple may choose to perform the Voap Tusreen or the blessed union where the two minds are connected sharing thoughts and emotions.
you don't have to be as specific as me i just want a species name a basic physical outline and a history and society have fun with this

I'm not so sure about the name Nya Class M. they should've known it was a planet and named it before they learned of other planets. so just take out class M, and I'll like it.
-
lol the name was always nya class m just means it was sutible for humanoid life
-
does anyone know how to post pictures on this site?
-
use [image][/image]
-
i did but the image doesnt show up after i upload it
-
huh? no you post it here [image]url here[/image]
-
what do you mean by url? i mean i know what url means but what do you mean in this context
-
http://...jpg or http://...bmp for instance, are both urls.
-
ok i got it to work just click on the link to see what a Nyac looks like
-
actually, you can show it to us using [img]http://url[/img]
-
lol just click the link.
so tell me about some of your species.
-
I'm sure it'd look even more impressive in real life...
-
so morfowt do you have a species in the works?
-
Take it easy, please, Yarin. :)
You cannot rush these things, my friend.
I'd be happy to join your RPG, if you'll have me. I have quite a lot of experience with these games, and I may be able to help things to go more smoothly for you. How are you liking RAF so far?
Warning: The species that I am 'creating' is more of a running joke (or, at least, everyone else believes it to be one) in RAF, involving me personally. Do not be surprised if I claim to be a member of this species. I am being perfectly serious, when I say this.
Species: Humanoid Organism/Sentient Star (abbreviated HOSS, and pronounced like the character from Bonanza...let's just say that there is a pun involved here, and you have to know me a LOT better than you currently do to understand the joke behind the name.)
Homeworld: Insfrea, second planet of the star Aldebaran, with three moons.
Average Height: Five feet, precisely and without variation.
Skin Color: Totally white, but not albino: the coloring results from a pigment that reflects all colors of light. Their blood varies from red, to purple, to blue, within the same body, due to the presence of different chemical compounds.
Hair: Either dark brown or black, kept very long, and naturally wavy/curly.
Body Temperature: Between 98.6 Fahrenheit and several thousand degrees Fahrenheit.
Mental Ability: Unparalleled. HOSSes make it a point to learn everything that they can. They aren't psychic in the accepted sense, but they ARE moderately pyrokinetic, able to manipulate thermal and radiant energy.
Technology/Development: Whatever happens to be at hand on the planet that they are visiting...they focus more on learning about existing things than on creating new things.
Society: Most HOSSes are extremely solitary, but some have sentient symbiotes inside their third brains.
Religion: Christianity is the closest definition...they believe in ONE God, an omniscient being who has sent a favoured servant...maybe even a son...into the universe as an intermediary and a teacher.
Family: Other HOSSes born into the same cluster, with no living parents.
Evolution: More or less an accident, if anything. A happy accident, with no genetic predecessors.
Atmosphere: Anything that can fix to iron and/or copper, they can breathe.
Calendar: A 'Cycle' is one full rotation around the center of the galaxy. HOSSes live varying lengths of time, so their definition of time is subjective and arbitrary. Suffice to say, a 'year', in Earth terms, is like an eyeblink.
Geography: Insfrea is much like Earth, but with less water and fewer mountains. Its poles are capped with frozen methane, not frozen water.
History: The first HOSS existed several billion years ago, and nobody remembers her, so HOSSes generally avoid thinking about her. Nobody REALLY wants to know how long ago things began for them. The numbers involved are massive and staggering. All they know is that at least four generations have passed since her existence.
Flora/Fauna: Insfrea has many bird-like creatures, as well as several species of animals much like cats. Trees are large and green, but there are few flowers or grasses. Over all, there are fewer than seventy species of animals and plants on Insfrea, and microbes are virtually non-existent.
Language: English, Star-Speak, and anything else they happen to pick up along the way.
Reproduction: For new stars to be born, an old star must die by nova. The mother never meets her offspring.
(I may edit and add on to it later. We'll see.)
-
interesting species
-
You think so? :)
-
yes i do they sound interesting do you have a specific character?
-
so morfowt do you have a species in the works?
no. I didn't say it didn't work. it's good. it's just drawing it on say paint...well let's not draw it.
I feel like I used the wrong choice of words...
-
ok what's your species look like
-
well I haven't thought of one yet.
-
well if you need any help just let me know i have created 11 original species
-
ok i want everyone who wants to join my rpg to create a character. it can be human or alien but just no offspring of existing characters.
-
how does an rpg work anyway?
-
do you mean my rpg specificly or rpg's in general?
-
Yarin, I've already announced it in the intro/departure thread, but I shall be away from tomorrow (Sunday) until Saturday, at the very latest. I apologise for any inconvenience to you, but feel free to get things moving without me. I have a lot of practice popping into a story without interrupting the progress of it, so I don't need to be in it immediately.
Farewell until we meet again!
-
do you mean my rpg specificly or rpg's in general?
mainly rpg's in general, but if yours is different, feel free to explain yours too.
-
Mine is the same as most what i think happens is we all have a character and there's a plot to follow and we build of of each others posts. im new at creating rpgs so that's all i know if any of you have any plot ideas let me know im usually good for thinking way outside the box when it comes to this kind of thing lol
-
plot ideas? I don't even know how an rpg works.
-
*sigh*
It appears that I shall be playing teacher...again. :)
I suggest that you read a page or two of an existing RPG. It's self-explanatory, if you look around for the information that you need.
I'm afraid that I'll not be able to help you much until my return.
G'bye!
-
ok before i go any further with this i need to know am i doing this before, or during the yeerk invasion or after?
-
It's YOUR RPG. That's for YOU to decide.
-
ok i've decided that its after the yeerk earth invasion but the yeerks are still a major galactic threat there is a galactic council of aliens that humans are a part of the yeerks have invaded a peaceful planet. and its our job to stop them. we all will get the power to morph
-
so i need to know how many people are planing to join and what race there character is
