First step(Evolution RP, ISRP style, OPEN)

Postby Alliir » Wed Dec 11, 2013 1:41 pm

“Extinction is the rule. Survival is the exception.”
― Carl Sagan


Today the idea of Evolution is widely accepted. Almost every school teaches children that humans came from apes, that the world is a harsh and old world. That we are but one stage in an endless cycle of extinction and change.
And so we say we are survivors, when all we are is one page of an endless novel.
And so we take our first steps.

Hello! Welcome, and thank you for checking out this roleplay! Now, before anybody flames me, I myself don't believe in evolution. Its just a fun thing to roleplay.
Now, this roleplay is going to involve extinction, change, survival and some other interesting plot points. The point of the roleplay, however, will be to survive as long as you can. A lot of the first people will die off, and hopefully restart. Therefore, as the ecosystem changes on the fictional world I have created, you will have to change with it. Starting at only an inch long, you will have to either fight or fly.
And so let us begin.

Gameplay
In this roleplay you will begin small and practically defenseless, stuck under water. Over time you will be able to evolve, either growing bigger, more defenses, or practically anything else you can think up. Not necessarily scientific, it will be interesting and allow you to create complex creatures. To begin with you will be one inch long, with simple organs. Over time this small creature will be able to grow into what you envision as the perfect creature.
Now, throughout this you will run into problems including lack of food, predators and changing temperature. You will be able to adapt to each of these, one at a time.... But when you have two at one point, you will have to decide on how to handle them both. In the beginning there will be little competition, but if you don't adapt to changes you will be destroyed.


Rules
Listen to me.
Try to be relatively original.
Don't get mad if you go extinct. It happens.
Don't flame, argue or simply be mean in this thread. I dont want to hear it.
Join. Its a rule, so you must follow it.

App-
Code: Select all
[b]Name of species:[/b]
[b]Diet:[/b]
[b]General habitat(preferred temperature, distance to coastline, etc):[/b]


Apologies for the short OP, but if you really think about it, there isn't much more I can write. If this really is too short Ill try and re-write it, but I would recommend joining now and at least trying it out.
Also, this will be used as an IC, as this is technically a branch-off of Galactic Conquest, a roleplay in which you control a race/FT nation and create alliances/wars. Therefore, likely on page two or further, I will tell you that there will be no more OOC on the thread and further OOC will then be posted on GC.
Galactic Conquest
Feel free to criticize if I mess up on anything. Hope ya join!

Name of species: primo vermilicus
Diet: Organic particles, dead animals and anything else that can be scavenged from the sea floor.
General habitat(preferred temperature, distance to coastline, etc): prefers deeper water with a soft, muddy/sandy floor that can be burrowed into. Likes temperature that's not too hot but not too cold (lukewarm) and can be badly affected by sudden temperature change.

My app:
Name of species:Harkians

Its ok, I suck at writing opening posts anyway...
I was wondering if you people would be interested in transformig this evo-RP into a civ-RP after our species evolve into conscious beings...
My app:
Name of species:Harkians
Diet: Herbivore. They eat plants, fruits, moss and algae.
General habitat(preferred temperature, distance to coastline, etc): They prefer to live in temperate and cold climates, but they also survive in swamps and jungles. In temperate and cold areas, they dig holes and for themselves and sleep undergroud.
Appearance: I'll make one with spore when I get Home.

Heh....
You actually begin underwater..... and as a worm-thing......

Other stuff:
The Harkians have evolved recently from a reptile race. They are now mammals with a fur coat. The harkians live in large groups and are good runners. They can also climb trees, but they prefer not to. Their teeth isn't sharp enough to be used to kill other species. They are poisonous to eat if they are killed by predators, unless they are killed quickly and suddenly. This is due to the stress hormone produced by the Harkians. It's poisonous in large quantities. Larger Predators or close relatives of the Harkians with good livers may still be able to consume their meat. Others must be careful not to eat too much...

That... Would be swell!
May I be the OP once we get to that part?
Also, I'm working on a map of an Alien planet for another RP. We may use it on this one too...

I suppose you could OP after we evolve.....
Wait, actually, once you guys evolve you could just continue on GC, which is basically exactly that. Check it out with the link in the OP.

Wow, nice rip off. Sorry, but an RP before this one already existed, xD
My dragon creatures occupy two planets... Allysia, and have re-appeared on Earth for the first time in a few thousand/a thousand years.

There are two main factions in the Dragonry, those opposing the use of the Dark Arts and those encouraging it.

I know. But a evo roleplay is a evo roleplay.
Your basically saying every zombie roleplay is a rip off if there is another active zombie roleplay.

No, we were the first evolution roleplay on NationStates. You took that idea because you thought it was a good idea. I'm officially blocking you, next time don't rip off roleplays. Zombie RPs are different, those are in popular culture.... evolution RPs are new and original, now they're not.
