Welcome to Gaia! ::

I've been developing a race, called the Exathrians, of my own for quite sometimes and recently fine-tuned them with capabilities beyond planetary only technology. Meaning they reached the capability to travel space and transforming their 'magik' into weaponry. Technically its not magic, its just a natural energy reaction within their body that releases a disruptive field around themselves when they feel threatened by predators (falls back to the more primitive evolution of the race).

Most equipments used will be plasma powered because combustion or nuclear reaction is too harmful for them to secure and maintain. They have a more natural method of containing plasma. I'll leave most of the details unfold when told in RP, if it seems deent enough to be used.

The Exathrian society is based on the cast system so theres the working, miilitary and leadership classes that are choosen and handled by the head council's Queen.

Anyway, the story for their entrance. (Sidenote: despite RP Character Thrie being an Exathrian, he has evolved and altered through being in the hands of various organizations in his travel thus making him very different to the original Exathrian anatomy. He would not serve very much of an advatange in knowledge in defeating the original Exathrian.)

The Exathrian's homeworld was devastated by the planets' unfortunate side affects. The galaxy suffers from frequent wormhole effects due to the strong magnetic forces of several habitable moons orbiting a large size planet. To make matters worst, an exsisting blackhole parrallels the galaxy thus connecting with the wormhole effects.

A bad timing with a solar flare and a comet crossed path and disrupted the magnetic field from one of the smaller moon and its moon causing the field balance to collapse. The other moons fell into prey as well. On the Exathrian home planet, Exathra, the Rip effect they have experienced and studied for traveling turns into their doom. Their studies and experiments on them plus the change in the galaxy make-up develops it into an anti-core weapon. Slowly the planet begins to die.

With only a limited controlled Rips, only a small percentage of Exathrians used it in an attempt to escape disaster and in hope to find a better world. Knowing that previous studies had shown some rips leads them into the sun, space itself or even deeper into their own planet.

The Exathrians somehow survived and with fears of staying on planets that did not have the perfect eviroment and conditions. Because of such picky attitude, many planets were rejected for settlement until the reached the the Gaian system. Their target, Gaia. With resources running lower and lower within their fleet. They have no choice but to take Gaia as their own.

The only problem is that Gaia possessed intelligent being that required oxygen to survive. Exathrian survives on both meat or plants. But their vegetation requires Oxygen to grow and releases a susbstance poisonious to the Gaian population but does not affect Exathrians. A full out invasion would be of a disadvantage to both sides. The heat generated from a war of this magnitude would accelerate the green house effect and renders it useless for the Exathrian. The Gaians may survive but it would not be the same.

Thus the Exathrians proceed their plans in secrecy. Infiltrating the Gaian population and attemping to create a way to destroy most of the population, mainly the side that possessed the means to fight. The rest of the Gaian population may be left to die from the Exathrian's vegatations and hunted for meat once normal human livestock are hunted or no longer can sustain living.

Only recently, has intelligence noticed a small change in population and the increase number of military bases and science facilities owned by suspicious characters that seem to be related to each other by characteristics. This suspicion was confirmed by an insider within the government who worked close to an undercover Exathrian that talked and drank too much attempting to be more human in personality. Soon after the information had been confirmed, all contacts with the insider was lost and his existence simply disappeared from the government's knowledge as though he never worked there.

Thats pretty much the outline of the story. It sounds a little faf fetched but yeahm, i've been meaning to test out the development of my race. Also hearing that there should be an opposing force that is aiming for a goal thats neither good nor evil but only in the terms of survival. Leaving a story where the defeat of once race would mean the end of them. What do you think of it?

hellz yeah lindy! lets get this mofo goin!

I'll be posting again soonish, but by soonish I mean within the next day. sweatdrop Chiropractor appointment right now, and then a World of Warcraft guild run after that....then work...then home at 6am Pacific sweatdrop Maybe I'll post at that time 3nodding

Sephiroth's easy if you level your group lots outside. sweatdrop

And I liked 8 a lot, but many people didn't. I have a strong feeling I liked 8 a lot because of the fact that my favorite Final Fantasy character is in it: Quistis Trepe. Finally a female character that isn't a White Mage or obviously meant to be the cute one.

Haven't played any other MMOs besides FFXI and WoW, so can't really help you there.

...aaanywho, yay for Department 5 getting in. Now for a way to get Chaos Seed in as a group.... building bridges for so many subfactions... so hard. @_@

Awesome donation items whee

Its pretty much a one time deal. I try to not let things happen more then one time. ~shrugs~ Uh how about we delete the the OOCs from the main thread?

NOTICE:

Ixmas is over, Sao is back home, and the work schedule has stabilized. I will be working the overnight shift in my shitty photo lab from now on. This means two things:

• I will have all the free time in the world on my off days.
  
  
• However, those off days are every other week (i.e. I work 7 days, then have 7 days off).

What that basically boils down to is that I can ease myself back into RP mode, but every other week I'll be posting little, if at all.

(I doubt it'll matter that much, though; things tend to move just slowly enough for me to get away with that. sweatdrop )

I haven't read any threads yet. I just wanted to let you guys know my situation before I started getting back into the swing of things. Tomorrow starts my first week on, so I'll probably be reading more than posting. Next Tuesday night, I should be ready to jump right in.
