Hah, yeah, I shouldn't have told Nux about those system modifiers. Whatever generation software he has spits out very different results to mine.

Yes, they are recycled. Perhaps, you will stumble upon a corpse. It seems that Reapers, once they forget about a corpse, typically never go back and find it.

I sometimes wonder if the Leviathan was actually inactive, or merely deliberately infecting the Batarians while monitoring them. We never hear about its ultimate fate.

Maybe I can make better robots that can help send data to the Qunix researchers to help with my outrageous plans. Oh well, I'll see if I stumble upon one next month.

Also what does Black Oil do to barren moons, since improving them to Garden Moons would be OP as hell?

You know, that wasn't really clear, but even if improving them to Garden Moons is how we will do that, he can still only use the Black Oil Once every two months.

Your homeworld will start with it and I'll say you can pick one of the bat at the start of the RP. It will then be until month 3 for your next one (pick on month 1,3,5,7,9,11, etc.)

The Machine Orthodoxy

"ALL WILL BE ONE"

Leadership




http://www.artofmtg.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Inquisitor-Exarch-Mtg-Art.jpg
Agents of Elesh Norn,this beings rule entire worlds in her name. They command the Norn Presits and the Porcelain Legions.


http://www.artofmtg.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Priests-of-Norn-MtG-Art.jpg
Devoted Preists and Zelots of Elesh Norn,these holy monstrosities act as Preists, advisers,military officials and on rare occasions diplomats.


http://magic.wizards.com/sites/mtg/files/image_legacy_migration/images/magic/daily/boab/boab140_porcelainArt.jpg
The lowest level of the Machine Orthodoxy,these seemingly endless warrior caste makes up the majority,they do everything from soildering to terra forming.



History and Race


The Eleshian are a race of semi organic-synthetic beings "native" to the world of Norn,a dark desolate place teaming with monsters that are half organic and half synthetic. The Eleshian were not always the beings you see today. Though their name and past forms have been lost to history it is safe to say that their ancestors were bipedal humanoids.

The New Elashian emerged when the ancients began to experiment on themselves in order to perfect themselves. They mutilated,augmented,and assimilated themselves with machines as they tried to reach a state of immortaly resulting in some to regress into more animal than sentient beings. The New Elashian saw their precursors as inferior beings and watched a war known as the "Assimilation War".

The New Elashian had become vastly superior than their precursors in both intelligence and physical strength. They force assimilated the remaining population by using a artificial substance known as Dark Oil,a substance that alters anything into the Eleshian image. Though this wasn't the only thing the Dark Oil assimilated but Norn itself was changed. All the castes ecosystems of Norn drastically changed,becoming forests of metal and living yet decaying flesh. The funds becoming the stuff of night mares.

Once the Assimilation of their homeworld was absolute the Eleshian,then known as the Phyrexians fell from constructive unity as they diverted their veiws on how to achieve a certain goal that all Eleshian strave for,"Perfection". Factions fractured the Eleshian Unity, as their ideologies differed against each other on how to achieve Perfection. One such group that arouse this schism is the "theological" Machine Orthodoxy,led by Elesh Norn,Grand Cenobite.

The MO belive that to achieve perfection,they must assimilate and perfect not only themselves but everything in the galaxy. Only then would true perfection be achieved. Elesh Norn, led her Legions into a war for Norn,known as the "Second Assimilation War" in which she conquered the other Eleshian in the planet and brought them into the fold of the Machine Orthodoxy,turning most of the lower teir Eleshian Porcelain Legionnaries, while leaving the upper teirs mostly untouched besides reforming their physical constructs to make then appear more like Elesh herself.

With the planet under her control she proclaimed most of the planet to be named after her. The Planet Norn and the Eleshain themselves are named after her creating a occult certain around her as claimes to be the Catalyst in which Perfection will finally be reach.

Norn Preists would soon discover enement zero and mass effect technology as Eleash Norn prepares her race to assimilate the stars in which she calles the "Third Assimilation War".

STRENGTH:20
DEXTERITY:15
CONSTITUTION:10
INTELLIGENCE:10
WISDOM:10
CHARISMA:5

Traits:
Assimilation: The Eleshian are masters of assimilating everything into their image. Their pursuit of perfection drives them to convert worlds into places which mirror their own homeworld. Using the Dark Oil, found naturally only on Norn, they can convert planets into Dark Oil versions of their normal form. As a result, all non-dark oil planets are one tier lower for them to inhabit. However, once every two months, a new planet can have Dark Oil introduced to it converting it to a Dark Oil planet. This increases the planet's original tier by one level and turns the planet into a Hostile terran world for non-Eleshian.

All Will Be One: The Unity under the Machine Orthodoxy has led to a united and tireless workforce of drones. The Eleshian can perform feats of construction that are otherwise illogical for solely organic beings to complete. Heavy Ship production is reduced by one month.


Planet Trait - The Great Factory of the Eleshian - Dark Oil contains all the components needed to create more Eleshian. As a result, recruiting infantry, Militia, and Marine Divisiions cost 50% less on Dark Oil Worlds.

I'd doubt it, actually. If the Asari were smart, then they hid it somewhere nobody would expect, like a world without any known life or civilized attributes.

Of course, I know partially where the Message is hidden ;)
