P.S:His not really a villain he's just villainous, like in the bio he doesn't want to hurt anybody but if you cross the line he can do bad things to his extent

1. Appearance, also need to flesh the details of his facial features.
2. As Star said, grammar and capitalization is needed.
3. The bio needs to be fleshed more. His childhood, also try to make it more understandable, with well-placed commas. For example.

Star Dark Ones should be good, now.

Accepted.

Thanks!

I can't wait to interact with other heroes as the Speed Demon. And when I get Aleam or Quaestio involved in this, it's gonna get interesting fast. Who wants to interact with what by the way? I want to know who I'm dealing with when I make my first post tomorrow...

oops, just realized the IC isn't up. Or is it? I dunno...

I would like to see speed demon getting into a fight with Blackmore, just to see if Speed demon velocity and his pyrokinetick powers can evaporate or evade the raindrops and deal a blow to Blackmore

Also how will fights determine a winner, will it be determined OOC or the GM will have the say?

Winner will be determined by the decision between the two or more players who are involved in the fight, unless you fight against an NPC where the GM will decides who's gonna win and who's gonna lose.

Also, GM will intervene the fight between two players or more if the argument to determine who's winning turns toxic.

Name: Alexandre Flamell

Superhero Name: Flesh

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Race/Species: Metahuman

Appearance: http://img03.deviantart.net/4f63/i/2011/123/9/7/alex_mercer_by_ravenmadwolf-d3fi3ra.jpg
I know, I got no other idea for appearance.

Personality: Andre believe in the small spark of humanity, and more than willing to protect what is left of it. Even though he views himself as above the law and vowed to never be under the control of anyone, he still questions his own view on what is best for the world and if metahumans should actually be under the surveillance of authority. While he doesn't trust governments and corporations very much, he is more than willing to cooperate with organizations that don't controlled by certain bureaucracy or ideology. He serves the humanity above all else and ready to protect it, no matter how reluctant he is.

Biography:
Andre was born in Orleans, French to a quite mundane family. His father is a virologists, and his mother is a lecturer in local university. His parents greatly shaped his childhood, as they both teach him their respective field of study. While other kids grow idolizing the artist and actors of Hollywood, Andre spent his time talking to Epicurus, trying to understand Plato's ideas, and idolizing Darwin and Wallace.

He was the target of the bullies, but he barely put any attention to them. He kept evading them, and kept something in his pocket to defense himself. Andre started his heroic days this way, and he stood up for kids that had the same fate with him. Throughout the high school, he started to do a night patrol around his neighborhood, and at the same time excelled himself at science. He got a scholarship at Imperial College London, and wish to create a new life at the former capital of the earth.

But Andre wasn't blind from the injustice he saw everywhere. It was his childhood all over again, in a whole new different level. He want to change it, the way he protects the weak back at his hometown. But he was weak and facing a thug in direct combat might be the last thing he did. Not so long after, the aliens came. The box empowered him, granted him the power to be the change he wanted. But he was afraid. He was aware that sometime humanity will react poorly to things they don't understand, no master the intention is for the greater good. Andre didn't want to had his life ended like Socrates, and so he secluded himself for awhile. When the news came to him that some metahumans decided to put a fight against the Xanthian, Andre started his training. Soon he fought alongside others in the uprising, and helped his own planet against the scourge that no governments were able to fight. That was when the Flesh first seen by the world.

After the invasion, Andre's view of humanity had changed. Inspired by the Justice Queen, Andre decided to become a hero, and started a new life at the Pandora City. A scientist at some pharmaceutical company during the day, and a vigilante during the night. The Flesh has came, and he is ready to end the world of injustice and evil.

Powers/Abilities:

• Total Body Manipulation: Andre is able to manipulate his own body up to cellular level. He can deliberately cause mitosis and apoptosis to extend and shorten his limbs respectively. Other applications are weapon creation, increased regenerative ability, and theoretically (possible upgrade?) venom/engineered enzyme creation.
• Acid Spit: By hardening the linings of his digestive system, Andre can shoot his enhanced stomach acid for offensive purpose.
• Superhuman Strength: By increasing the his oxidative capacity and myosin-actin synthesis, Andre brute strength and endurance can reached a level that is beyond human's peak capacity.
• Hardened Skin: Andre can cover his skin with knife-proof, lightweight chitinous protection layer, or with bony body armor that can resist most firearms.
• High Metabolism: Andre level of metabolism is higher than mundane human, and thus able to utilize his power for long time without rest.

Weaknesses:

• High Metabolism: His conditions required him to eat large amount of food to keep up with his speedy cellular division.
• Mitotic Phases: Despite his heighten metabolism, he still need a moment to construct his armors or to heal his wounds.
• Agonizing Pain: Increased cellular growth and deaths is painful, and psychologically burden him.
• Telomer Limitations: After a few multiplication, a generation of cell will have its telomer cut so much they may be too dangerous to continue replicating, and Andre has to replace it with fresh cell from actual stem cells, which he derived from his bone marrow or he can decrease the cooldown by eating a fresh bone marrow or fetuses, although he hasn't considered trying it for now.

Equipment: A black hoodie, a simple knife, and a lot of guts.

Likes: Biology, Philosophy, Nietzsche, E. A. Poe, Thriller (As a genre)
Dislikes: Stupidity, Aliens, Cheesy horror movies, Humanism in general
Theme Song: (Optional)

Name: Jason Rodriguez

Superhero Name: None

Age: 26

Gender: Male.

Race/Species: Hooman.

Appearance: http://static.srcdn.com/slir/w1000-h551 ... Guerra.jpg

Personality:Kind, if a bit sarcastic. Never liked filling out this portion.

Biography: Jason was born in New Mexico to a pair of very kinda parents. He never had any problems in school and as far as his family life went, he didn't have many complaints. And then the event happened, and he gained his powers. At first he had trouble drowning out the constant voices in his head, but he learned how to turn them off, while focusing on the part of his powers that he enjoyed: his telekinesis. By then he had long since moved out of his parent's home and was making his own path. His powers were kept secret at least until he met Michelle. Another person who had powers like him. They dated for nearly a year and then the invasion happened shortly before they were supposed to get married, and kidnapped Michelle

Jason was never an angry person. He could count the amount of times he was genuinely pissed off on one hand. This was one of those times. He loved Michelle heart and soul. As much as he hated entering other minds, he did it to gather information on where his finance` was being kept. After "extracting" the information from their minds, he lead a one man charge against their fortification where a small number of metas were being kept. It was where he found out he could make people's heads explode rather easily. He found Michelle, but he didn't know it was her.

A few months later, they decided to keep things simple and just elope.

Powers/Abilities:

• Psionics: Jason is a powerful psionic. And while he possess both telekinesis and telepathy, he prefers to use the former as he dislikes reading other people's minds out of respect for privacy. He primarily focuses on Telekinesis and can use it in many ways. Barriers, constructs, flight, throwing stuff around.

Weaknesses

• Head trauma: Jason's powers work from his brain. Hard hits to the head will make it much harder for him to use his powers.
• Gases of the noxious variety can break his focus.
• Without shielding himself, he's only human.

Equipment: None

Likes: Inhumanly spicy food. Jokes and comedy in general. Michelle. Puppies.
Dislikes: Food that doesn't make you sweat. Cats. Michelle overreacting.
Theme Song: N/A

Name: Michelle Tassiter

Superhero Name: None

Age: 25

Gender: Lady.

Race/Species: Human/Alien Hybrid

Appearance: http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/ali ... 0910005211

Personality: Happy go lucky. I don't like having this particular tab in the app TBH.

Biography: Much like Jason, Michelle was born and raised in New Mexico. Life for her was good up until the day the box opened and she got her powers. At first she thought it was awesome, until she actually used her powers and found that, despite the fact that she could easily run at hypersonic speeds, her body was not designed for it and she got some very nasty friction burns. fortunately, she was able to heal within the same day thanks to her accelerated healing. But there's always a silver lining. Her metabolism was much more powerful and she could eat whatever she wanted without gaining any weight, much to her happiness.

Not too long after, she met Jason. Who also had powers, but with far fewer drawbacks. With what started as them taking silly potshots at one another, entered into a full blown relationship. Both of them were happy. At least until the invasion which ended up with her being kidnapped while Jason was out and about. Her powers didn't help her much in a fight. Little did she know that she was going to be experimented on. Despite her protests and attempts to resist, they just put her under and went to work modifying her DNA and physiology rather extensively. Splicing her DNA with several other aliens in the attempt to apply the powers she'd need to operate at full speed without bursting into flames while moving.

By the time she woke up, she was sore and when she finally got a good look at herself, she almost lost her mind. A few hours later she heard a lot of commotion. She couldn't make out what they were saying, but was terrified to see a Xantheian head explode for seemingly no reason. Until Jason popped up, explaining that he was here to find her, not knowing what happened. Once she explained to him that she was Michelle, telling him several secrets that they had, and then broke down crying, only to find that he didn't care what she looked like and was even "cute in a dinosaury kind of way." It took a few days to adjust to her new body. Namely re-learning how to walk and not have to large tail knock over tables every time she walked by.

But the good news was that she could use her powers to their fullest and not have to worry about. Well, that and Jason still wanted to marry her. That was also really good news too.

Powers/Abilities:

• Super Speed: Michelle is capable of moving of speeds up to Mach 50 thanks to the powers granted by the Xbox and genetic manipulation to allow her body to safely move at those speeds. This increases her healing and thought processes significantly.

Weaknesses

• Weakness GOES HERE: Her legs are the most obvious ones. It's very difficult to run with an injured leg.
• Weakness GOES HERE: Slippery ground. Ice, oil, mud, things people tend to slip on make it very difficult for her powers to function.
• Weakness GOES HERE:

Equipment: None

Likes: Small animals, swimming, soda, Jason.
Dislikes: Hornets, and most insects in general. Jason being stupid.
Theme Song: N/A (Yet...)

Name: Isaac Barnett

Superhero Name:

Age: 146 (Looks 16)

Gender: Male

Race/Species: Vampire

Appearance: http://imgur.com/a/ejOn6

Personality: Kind, positive, and sometimes naive, Isaac has a mindset where he tries to imagine the consequences his actions would have on other people, even if they appear to be enemies, believes in that people can change for the good, but he has no hesitation doing the dirty works if he sees he has no other way out

Biography: Isaac was born to a low class family in the 1870´s, he spent his childhood being playing pranks and playing with his friends, his life changed a cloudy day of september, where Isaac was playing in the deep part of the forest near his town with some friends, when they saw a man resting on some of the trees, he looked like the typical vagabond and the three boys decided to throw rocks at him until he woke up, that was the worst thing they could do.

The vagabond woke up, moving in an unnatural fashion, with his mouth open and his eyes having an empty look on them, as if he was an animal looking for prey. After seeing where they were he ran at an incredible speed, the boys ran back to the city, but the vagabond soon reached up to them. Isaac being the one who was the slowest of the three, was grabbed by the collar and pinned onto the floor where he cried for his friends to come back and help him, only to hear them scream sorry and seeing them run into the further from where he was, after screaming for help a bit more he realized the situation he was in when the vagabond bit him in the neck. It felt as if his life was being sucked out of him, he tried to break free but the vagabond had an impressive strenght despite his appereance. The next thing that happened can only be described as pure and simple luck, while the vagabond was sucking the blood out of Isaac a part of the cloudy sky cleared up and a ray of light passed through the dense trees and reach the vagabond and Isaac. The vagabond started to burn and Isaac used this chance to escape from the vagabond grasp.

Isaac was very confused what had just happened, a man had just tried so suck him dry and started to burn in the sun, it all sounded as the horror story his father used to tell him at night, he decided to go back to the city believing that the worst had happened but still couldnt get the thought that his friends had abandoned him, it filled him with an irrational rage, he wanted revenge againts them, those feelings of revenge made Isaac unaware of the biological changes that were happening in him.

In the dead of the night Isaac, still in the forest heard some sounds, the sound came from his friends, as if they were looking for something they could use as an explanation of what happened to him, Isaac sneaked up on them feeling angrier by each moment he was near them, but the feeling of rage soon changed into hunger, like the man who attacked him he lunged at his friends pinning both on the floor holding them both by the neck, in an unconsious move he bit one of his friends, the more blood he drank from him, the more the feelings of hunger and rage calmed, it was only the moment that his hunger had satiated he realized the situation he was.

He had become a monster and had killed one of his friends, he released the other one from his grasp and escaped from the proximity, he decided he would find a way to become human, even if he took his whole life, now Isaac is still searching for away, having also found out that his kind doesnt age, he has met many people like him, some irrecognizible from normal humans and some that were nothing better than animals, he has also met vampire hunters, and after various close encounters with death stopped explaining his plan on returning back to a human, he has still no clue on how to become human again but he thinks that an answer may lie in pandora city, hoping to cure other people that were involuntarily transformed into vampires.

Race Application

Race Name: Vampires

Location: Europe mostly, but are all over earth

Race Appearance: They look like normal humans but have some different traits like are fangs and grayer skin

Culture/World: There are many types of vampires, the most common trait their share is their feeling of superiority, believing humans to be animals in comparision to them, most of them also suppport the secresy of their existence believing they would be hunted to extinction if their existence was known, in all vampires there is a part of the beast that their race once was, most vampires keep their instinct under control but some others letting it all out, these vampires are usually killed very fast either by their own kind or vampire hunters and can get very dangerous if left alone for a long time.

Vampires are usually very knowlegable in one or type of fields and despite their hate of humans, value literature and the arts. Most vampire factions have a heirarchy based on the age of the vampire, since older vampires are more powerfull and experienced than younger ones, combined with their usual arrogance this leads to a lot of fights inside a faction. A rare type of vampires are the ones who want to actively want to help humans and turn back to normal, tought there are some vampires that dont see humans as below them they rarely want to help them againts other vampires, out of spite for the deaths of their kind caused by humans or they simply dont care enough about them, much less they would be giving up their inmortality and powers, even their weakness to sunlight isnt a big deal enough for them to want to return to normal.

Biography/Lore: Vampire have been on earth since the dawn of man, being the terror that kept them awake and forced them to hide in their homes during the night, in their early days they were nothing more than beasts that hided in caves during the day to attack the unsuspecting people during the night, time passed an they grew more powerful from their age, managing to infiltrate human society without any suspiscion to them, but the beast that they had been in their early days still existed in them, manifesting in them as a irrestible hunger that left many victims, some of them that joined their ranks in undead life, or manifesting as the desire to be above humans, these type of vampires became the tyrants and psycopaths that we know today, using their charms learned by years of experience to obtain positions of power and subjugate their human minons.
But their infiltration couldnt go unnoticed forever, Vampire hunters were created by humans who had survived encounters with them without being turned into them or remorseful vampires who told humans their weakness, soon these people joined and formed their organizations, hunting anyone who fit the description of a vampire, the newer vampires gained a high mortality rate, but the old ones had high positions of power where they could not be suspected without risking some sort of torture, connections with supernatural beings that granted them protection, or were powerful enough to completly eliminate the most obvious weakness.

But even them could make mistakes and little by little, with each century passing their numbers decreased, this caused panic on some of the older an newer generations, that caused them to divide in the ones that wanted to propagate the vampire race, to create an army powerful enough to subjugate or exterminate humans and the ones that want to keep the number of vampires low, after all less vampires means less competition for the rest. These ideologys combined with other differing opinions about how to beat their weakness to sunlight, their dependance of the human race, the secret of their race and how they came to be has caused the rise of many vampire factions, especially in Europe where most of vampires live in what can be called a faction war.

Inherent Powers/Abilities:

• Vampiric powers: They have super strenght and speed as well as heightened reflexes, dexterity, Inmortality and regeneration
• Age: The older a vampire is the more powerful he becomes, with age also comes the ability to eliminate some of the most obnoxious abilities like having to count seeds or the inability to cross running water
• Inmortality: Vampire´s inmortality usually gives them time to study some field of science and become familiar with the supernatural creatures that are around them.
  Weaknesses
  [box]
  • Vampiric weakness: These range in burning in sunlight, salt burning their skin, crosses, holy water and holy ground feeling like acid in their presence, forced to count small objects such as salt, pebbles or seeds, cant cross running water like oceans and rivers and have to be invited to a house before being able to enter.
  • Thirst for blood:They cant be free of their thirst for blood, if they go without drinking blood for a period of time their subcounsious will take over and force them to act like an animal.
  • Age: Younger vampires usually are very arrogant, believing themselves to be the best of their kind, this either ends with them gaining humilty or death, one of the many reasons new vampires have a high mortality rate.
  • Vampire hunters and themselves: Vampires are target of many organizations that want to destroy them, they also have the unfortunate tendency to battle one another, causing the majority of vampires to be very wary of using their powers in places with many people
  • Regeneration: Their regeneration cant heal injuries caused by sunlight or death by decapitation/stake trought the heart and the more it has to regenerate the more the vampire thirstier the vampire will get

Name: Valancy Stirling

Superhero Name: Nature's Voice/Mother Earth/Speaker for the Trees

Age: 30

Gender: Female

Race/Species: Demi-Primordial

Appearance: Here

Personality: Valancy is basically the mama bear of the Justice Queens. Loving, sweet, and fair, she attempts to make the best out of her life and bring the best out of others. When her loved ones are near danger or close to harm, the claws come out, and ill betide anyone who attracts her wrath.

Biography: Valancy's father was Taren Stirling, a botanist. The literal embodiment of the Earth, Gaea, happened upon him, and the two of them fell in love, Valancy being the result of that. Gaea dumped Valancy on Taren's doorstep and departed. Taren, however, had always dreamed of having a daughter and brought her up with love and care, all though Valancy soon grew hateful of her mother. Valancy followed in her father's footsteps in a manner of speaking, growing a love and affinity for plants, and soon discovering her powers over wood in high school, although they were miniscule. Going to college, she majored in environmental science and studies and after that, headed to law school, where she emerged as an environmental lawyer. Getting her first job and buying an apartment, she lived next to a younger college student named Katie Prince.

Life was going great, she had just won a big case against a corporation, and then, her mother returned, abruptly, looking haggard and worn-out, stating that she was tired of being trodden upon, and suffering from the pollution, desertification, and all the others things humans did to her through the Earth. And so, she gave her powers to Valancy, despite her daughter's protests, making Valancy Stirling the new Mother Earth. For days, Valancy struggled with the pain, input of information from a global network of plants and animals. But slowly, over the course of months and years, she started to gain more control over her powers and begin to quietly work to end some of the injustices and terrible crimes and horrors committed under her watch. Then one day, she ran into Katie and someone knew, whom Katie introduced as Cora. They became fast friends, and after going off to lunch one day together, Cora was suddenly attacked by a mysterious person. And Valancy displayed her powers to the world for the first time, the grass, soil, sand, plants, animals and more at her command, and along with the powers of her two friends, they were able to overwhelm the Cyborg, Katie finishing him off, while Valancy stopped a building from collapsing.

Deciding to stick together, then came the Xantheian Invasion. Finding other superheroines along the way, they started to fight back, and then snuck onto the Xantheian spaceship, freeing the prisoners, before blowing it up, isolating the Xantheians on Earth, where the superheroines and the armies of the Earth were able to finish them off. Seeing how well they had worked well together, they decided to stay together and form a team, staying in Pandora City but moving into a skyscraper which they titled Justice Tower, and fought crime together ever since.

One day, a young man, boy really, named Roy attempted to rob them with a fake gun, but the Justice Queens and their receptionist were easily able to apprehend Roy. Valancy was drawn to Roy, and after she learned his story and got to know him better, fending off his father, she offered to adopt him, and to her delight, he accepted.
Powers/Abilities:

• Nature Manipulation/Creation: Valancy has nearly power over almost all aspects of nature. However, she cannot manipulate the elements(besides plants and the earth, not including metal), or the weather.
• Wood Mimicry: Valancy can transform herself into a tree or her body into hardened wood which is impervious to most bullets, and knives.
• Healing: Valancy can heal herself and others at nearly anytime, restoring a biotic organism to its optimal condition. She can also heal herself by transforming into a tree and staying in the sun for several hours. However, this comes at great cost, as Valancy must also take the pain of the healed wound upon herself. Thus, healing a person nigh to death might cause her to fall unconscious.
• Floraportation: Valancy can teleport herself into any tree or plant on the earth.
• Ecological Empathy: Valancy can sense the overall well-being and conditions of her immediate environment and natural setting.
• Plant/Animal Speaking and Empathy: Valancy can speak to all plants/animals and sense their emotions.
• Immortality: As long as there is some vestige of wood or trees on Earth, Valancy will never truly die. She can be killed, but she can regenerate in any tree/wood.
• Demi-Primordial: As a demi-primordial, Valancy has superhuman strength, speed, agility and durability. While she cannot fly, she can leap very far and high distances in one bound.
• Terraforming: Valancy can now change the environments of different areas into completely new environments. However, she cannot change an ocean into a mountain, for example, and the bigger and more drastic the terraforming, the longer it takes.
• Avatar Creation: Using some powers and some earth, Valancy can create avatars of herself that can carry out tasks for her, rescue people, and etc. She can only create a few, and she must subconsciously monitor and control them to a extent so that they do not dissipate. The avatars cannot think for themselves, and thusly, this takes a lot of energy out of her, but right now, she can juggle 3 avatars around the world if she is not using her powers in any other significant way.

Weaknesses

• Fire: Valancy's main weakness is fire, which she has little defense against
• Limitation of Wood Creation: She can only create wood/trees where it is viable for the tree to survive, and not out of thin air.
• Human Body: Valancy still is part human, and her wood mimicry won't defend her against several nuclear weapons, high-powered attacks and etc.
• Limitation of Terraforming: Terraforming is limited and takes time
• Cost of HealingHealing causes pain of the wound to be transferred to Valancy. Valancy can potentially restore limbs lost recently and cure advanced maladies, but that tires her greatly and can send her into a coma.
• Pollution and Cities: Pollution, and cities, are very, very toxic to Valancy. Being in a city without protection via being surrounded by trees, plants or nature greatly weakens Valancy and her powers.

Equipment: Valancy possesses her beloved beige longcoat which is lined in metal, with wood sewed into the seams, and covered with plants to protect herself and her powers against cities.

Likes: Food, cooking, the Justice Queens, Roy, Nature, books, fireplaces, the Earth, Hamilton.
Dislikes: Cities, big oil and big gas corporations, pollution, uncontrolled fires
Theme Song: The Shire Part 1 and Part 2

Additional information: Her cooking is glorious.

Race Application

---

Race Name: Vykladei

Location: Andromeda Galaxy

Race Appearance: Vykladei are humanoid beings with various degrees of reptilian features. They are split up into four different groups:

• Munthrekiri: The least reptilian, the Munthrekiri are almost entirely human in appearance with the exception of a single trait affecting a small area of the body, such as horns, claws on their hands, or scales on their face.
• Luhiri: The Luhiri are also mostly human, but have more than one trait (usually two or three). The most common combinations includes a tail and horns, a tail and wings, a horn and wings, and claws and fangs.
• Siliri: The Siliri are essentially "halflings." They have the best balance between their reptilian and human-like features. Virtually all of them have scales covering their entire body as well as other features such as horns, spikes, tails, etc.
• Gliiwriri: The Gliiwriri are the most reptilian sub-group. Structurally, they are more reptilian than human-like, and usually the extent of their human-like features are limited to their limbs and torso.

Culture/World: The Vykladei's homeworld is a planet named Oshoria. It's largely a single-biome planet, filled with lush forests. However, there are some areas of the planet covered in deserts. The Vykladei are technically advanced, having reached FTL travel over 3 million years ago. They've reached a state of synergy between their advanced technology and nature. The majoirty of the species is not religious, however there is still a small minority who cling to the traditional religious beliefs that the majoirty have long since abandoned.

The social structure of the species is fairly simple. There are no nations or borders, though there are large, sprawling cities that are in themselves analogous to countries on Earth. There is de jure equality among the sub-groups, however, there is de facto societal discrimination based off of the amount of reptilian traits one has. Essentially, there is a social belief that the more reptialian traits one has, the more barbaric they are. Income inequality is largely based around sub-group lines, with the wealth being largely concentrated among the Munthrekiri. The only exeption to this is a particular group called the Darastrixi.

The Darastrixi technically belong to the Gliiwriri subgroup, however, they are essentially humanoid dragons (e.g. here). This is significant because while a majority of the species does not hold religious belief, there are still remnants of religious tradition that have firm roots in society as a whole. One such belief is that the Darastrixi are descendents of the creator gods whom took the forms of dragons when using their mighty power.

Biography/Lore: According to Vykladei legend, their world was forged from within the stomach of the Elder God, Daarkrix. The Elder God was a large dragon, spanning the length of entire solar systems. He consumed desolate and empty planets and dying stars, allowing them to gestate within his stomach over millions of years, before being regurgitated back into the cosmos. The stars would be reignited, and new life would be breathed into the planets. It was believed that all life forms on said planets evolved from bacteria-like organisms within the gut of Daarkrix, and therefore, there was ultimately a shared origin among all life in the universe. Once the planets and stars were regurgiated, the Elder God would release a cosmic flame from his fearsome maw, and from these flames, gods would form and watch over the life developed on the planets.

Over the course of billions of years, eventually the Vykladei came into existence via natural evolution. Lines in the sand were quickly formed as nations came into fruitition. They seperated themselves based off of sub-groups, though not the same sub-groups that the presently exist. At the time, virtually all of the Vykladei were what would today be considered Gliiwriri. Therefore, they grouped themselves based not on how reptilian they were, but the type of features they had. For example, a nation was established for any bearing snake-like features while another was established for any bearing lizard-like features.

Naturally, this did not last very long, and wars broke out. There were several reasons behind the wars. Some were politcial while others were based in simple prejudice. However, the central reason was ultimately religion. According to legend, eventually the Elder God would return to consume their planet and use it to fuel the creation of other planets. However, a subset of the population on the planet would be chosen to become a new generation of gods. As one would expect, every group believed themselves to be the "Chosen People." Over time, the groups slowly but surely began to get along with one another, and interracial marriages began to occur more frequently, though they were highly frowned upon. Ironically, from some of these marriages, the first Darastrixi were born.

This caused a widespread shift in belief and hastened the breakdown of national barriers constructed along racial lines, as these births were seen as signs from the gods that no single race was the "Chosen People." The various sub-groups came together, setting aside their differences. However, prejudice does not disappear so easily, and rather than it vanishing, it simply changed forms, as more humanoid Vykladei began being born. For a time, the more humanoid Vykladei were heavily discriminated against, however this quickly flipped on its head as a growing cult began spreading its message that these more humaniod Vykladei were merely the other side of the coin of the sign from the gods first received in the form of the birth of the Darastrixi. As technology developed further and further, religion faded, but these cultural biases remained, and fostered the current social climate of today.

Currently, a Cold War of sorts is being fought between two opposing factions--one fighting against the inherent discrimination based on sub-group and another not necessarily supporting it, but maintaining that it does not significantly affect any groups and that it would require they abandon ancient, long standing tradition. The Vykladei are fairly active in intergalactic trade, though they mostly keep to themselves and are not really interested in intergalactic warfare. Individual cities have democratic forms of government, with species-wide decisions being overlooked by the Council of Ten, which is made up of ten special Darastrixi. These Darastrixi are extremely powerful, having mastered an ancient form of energy that the Vykladei can only consider to be magical.

Inherent Powers/Abilities:

• Superhuman Physiology: The Vykladei are far stronger, faster, more agile, etc. than even the most peak non-superpowered human.
• Regeneration: Vykladei can regenerate from injuries that would be fatal to a normal human, especially, lost limbs.
• Sub-race specific abilities: There are abilities specific to certain sub-races and are dependent on the reptilian trait the individual has. For example, individuals with wings can fly, some can spit venom, some can breathe fire, etc.
• Enhanced senses: Vykladei have enhanced smell, taste, hearing, etc. While some have poor eyesight, they more than make up for it via sensing body heat and vibrations.
• Decelerated Aging: Vykladei age at a far slower rate than humans, and usually live around 1,000 years, give or take a century or two.

Weaknesses

• Low temperatures: Having evolved on a planet with no low temperature biomes, Vykladei are significantly weakened in a cold environment.
• Feral Outbursts: When provoked, Vykladei are sometimes subsceptible to periods where they become feral and their ability to use reason becomes hindered. Contrary to the common belief among the species, this is true for all Vykladei, regardless of how reptilian they are.
• Brumation: Vykladei must under go brumation, which is essentially a form of hybernation. This is not really an issue on their native planet, however on planets with actual winters, it becomes vitally important.

I got strangely sad when reading Cora and Val's apps.

Just... I wanna join, but there's a big mess to deal with IRL. Lots of technicalities and just straight issues. I'll try to report back once I can join.
