Sonipes, right? Nothing. No peculiarities. When you have species that uses dark matter to starve themselves and toxic slimes, pegasesus tends to be more or less normal horses in the grand scheme of things.

I was actually of going with that first, but thought giving them wings might make it more interesting in the end Also, it's pegasuses or pegasai.
And which ones here use dark matter?

Mine XDDD

Well, not dark matter... and even if it is dark energy, that was a poor description used to describe a phenomenon that I didn't want to bother explaining in any other way.

Feylins have physiology that literally prevents them from being touched by any matter. I am debating whether I will have Feylins be vulnerable to radiations (ie. lasers) and such an so forth, but I know that it doesn't transfer heat atm. I used dark energy as a poor excuse, but basically it is a psychic biology that I need everyone to look over so that it isn't something that will become a lore-problem.

They aren't invulnerable, though, are they? And how do they exist in the material world if they can't touch matter?

[G-Tech Corporation]

Dark energy?

Erm.

[Denmark-Hanover and Skaneland]

Ooh! Do we actually have a mechanic for world wonders?
That would be awesome!

Is anyone noticing how oddly similar this sounds to The Sid Meirs Civilization video games?

Well, this rp is more or less "Sid Meier's Civilization" in SPACE, so no surprise here.

Roll through the mechanics thread- you'll see a bit of inspiration, but it looks quite a bit different.

Plus, civ never had neurotoxins, ents, and giant chitinous beetles.

Okay, Mystica only suggested Faustian Physics. It was Harks choice as to wether or not it would be allowed. Also, since when did the Mzistiki have the wheel? We never said that. I can make a post that goes into further detail with Mzistiki tech if required. And Energy swords and Plasma weapons have been branded uncreative as they were copied from Halo, therefore I will either not use them or use very little.

They had, in Alpha Centauri. There they had awesomely interesting things like mind-controlling worms and later, self-policing intelligent AIs.
Here, have some wonder videos to illustrate it. (They are called secret projects in that game.) Notice the effects mentioned in the video description.

Dark energy?

Erm.

I know, right? I may need to edit it. I was just reaching out for random science atm and I think that it would be more appropriate to say that it just emits a unique energy field. The fact of the matter (which for whatever reason no one reached out to me over the three times that I mentioned this subject so that I can get feedbacks from) is that Feylins are basically incapable of touching other things except Conruptios

They aren't invulnerable, though, are they? And how do they exist in the material world if they can't touch matter?

As in almost everything else in material world is repelled by the field. There are few exceptions to this:

1) Things that are near Feylin for over "a season" (4~6 months)

2) Conruptios

#1 is the reasoning behind Feylin's greatest tragedy: they literally starve to death (until they domesticated Conruptios). They cannot eat anything that hasn't started rotting process already, or they have to sick by the tree and hope that they can harvest the fruit after half a year. They cannot reproduce in normal matter and it takes ceremonial orgy that takes years worth of preparation to even began thinking about bearing young (nursing, as the young is made from within the field, doesn't matter as much.).

#2 is both the blessing and curse of Feylin. Conruptios started out as only predator of Feylins, as Conruptios as a species can bypass Feylin's fields effortlessly (and as such, anything made from this free-forming flora can bypass Feylin's barrier). Since taming the species (still work in progress, as domestication process is deadly), Feylin has managed to fix both the starvation problem as well as predation problem (they can eat the fruit from Conruptios and tamed Conruptios protect Feylins against wild Conruptios).

Basically... Conruptios are Feylin's greatest weakness. Anything made from Conruptio can touch Feylins, meaning that if one can fashion a weapon out of them, Feylins would be completely exposed. For that matter, if Conruptios as a species dies out for whatever reason, Feylins revert back to starving race that cannot live up to its full potential, and probably their mentality wouldn't last, degenerating them back into barbaric species vying everyday for survival.

Right. That's why I said "cannot approve," instead of "not approved."

It is indeed up to Hark whether Faustian Physics is something that can be approved or not. If you feel offended by wordchoise, I will change it to "Need Approval."

... if I read the cells correctly, the wheel rant is for Kerbal. Are you having troubles with Google Sheets? I'll try to put a list for you if you cannot see them.

[Oscalantine]

Conruptio?

Name of another species that has symbiotic relations with Feylin. Semi-intelligent, free-forming, free-moving flora.

What is Faustian Physics anyway?

Something about being able to manipulate laws of physics through use of life force and therefore being able to achieve feats that normally is not possible otherwise. I cannot link you since there is no link and I only saw it from a television somewhere. Basically a very scholarly excuse for using "magic," if I got the arguments correctly.

Sorry, I see the Wheel part under the Mzistiki block. And I have stated( Mystica did to) that the option of Faustian Physics is completely Harks choice. If it is approved(Faustian Physics, I mean), the Mzsistiki will not like, control the weather or the moon(s). I will moderate it so it didn't turn into god mod. I believe the strongest thing they would be able to conjour up would be a sword. And not even an energy sword, I mean like a medieval human sword.

Heh, it's hardly scholarly. It's magic, with as much explanation as any other magic system.

Alright. Without that Faust Physics I think that it is within my power to approve... as long as you ask him to edit out the "empire" part, since we are starting at tribal settings.

I'll edit the changes, and change the status. Sorry for the mix-up T^T. Please let me know ASAP whenever Hark decides to approve Faust Physics or not. In the meantime... I am going to ignore that section of the post in the app (well... just leave as is, since it wasn't part of the app to begin with), and leave a comment on the list.

I cannot believe you found that article. So... magical.

Anyhow, that's basically what I was thinking of. Again, I am going to ignore Mzistiki having such problem until Hark says otherwise.
