This is a Kardashev illustration of two different civlisations at various chronologies in my fictional multiverse. For those who don't know what the Kardashev scale is, whip over to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashev_scale. To clarify the Saiv civilisation, they are not transsentient. They have taken apparently conventional technology to the extreme.

All other emos are traitors. They hurt themselves and forgot to hurt others!
That made me laugh too. Hey, we should make an RP entitled 'Hitler: Chronicles of an Emo'.

Saiv Homo Sapiens Beatitas (literally: Feline Wise Man), a psychologically indifferent humanoid species of extraordinary finesse and intelligence, enigmatic to a fault and the primary antagonists of the known universe. This species, having developed on a carbon planet, respire efficiently with carbon monoxide and consume cobalt-based foodstuffs, causing their blood to lose it's lustre and turn red-grey. Their darkly demeanour is reinforced and reassured by an appearance anologous to that of a human missing half his blood capacity, as the efficient metabolism evident in this species throws away the need for dense quantities of blood. Despite their lack of a drive for existance, the Saiv do exhibit survival instincts, and respond to a stressful situation in a way not unlike the 'fight or flight' mechanism of humans, secreting the repressing hormone Quartezol-4 that would overload human metabolism. Relative to humans, their skin is slightly pale, their faces are minutely taller, they are typically taller and they possess defensive features anologous to that of terrestrial cats. An example of their defensive features would be their claws, projecting forward from the carpal bones and extending to the equivelant length of the proximal phalanges bones of the finger it extends over; in females these claws can extend to the length of the associated metacarpal bone (note: this is a comparison of length of claw and bone, not anatomical distance). Another example would be the "scissor molars" that encompass the molar regions on either side of the upper jaw; again females have longer scissor molars that partially overlap the teeth on the lower jaw. Both these musculoskeletal defenses are, due to their almost indestructible molecular structure, sharp enough to cut through diamond silicate with some ease. The way this species has developed reflects the harsh, unforgiving nature of Ravion's ecosphere and plagiosphere.
It's important to understand this species does not look or act entirely like cat-people, they just have a handful of their characteristics. They aren't covered in fur; they have less body hair than us. Nor do they have whiskers or cat faces. ;D
The Rúhga Nama is a partially sentient bird of prey that has become the national emblem of the Saiv Empire. I'll talk more about this creature sometime in the future.

It's core is not particularly dense. Otherwise, this phenomenon could be attritutable to a weak electromagnetic field. There's a lot of things I haven't elaborated on, but this dilemma would be a good place to start.
I'd be very interested to talk about it. Will do soon.

Not exactly a work of absolute genius, but designing planets in this way is enjoyable for me. Please give feedback!

When you put two really cool things together, the end product has a tendecy to be not so cool. In the combination of cowboys and magic, the psychological phenomemon is apparent. This is the main reason why this RPG can't launch off yet.

Compute? It means work out in this sense. Magic and cowboys don't fit together.

That's my main stumbling block. In the later stages of the timeline, I have to combine cowboys with magic. It just doesn't compute.

And that is what I mean. I don't think much of that series, but it's the same principle.

This is a timeline of a pilot RPG I'm working on. It's a demonstration of my skill with two-dimensional design. The text for the RPG is still in development, but it will be ready soon enough. Any feedback/constructive criticism would be great.

I'm sorry for seeming inactive, but I'm just choosing the most appropriate starting role-play from the collection of text files on my hard drive.

Hi there!
I've written too many long introductions to want to write another one. Just know I'm good with language, philosophy, science fiction and the like, and hope to have a great time on Embyr Haven. I particularly prefer Space Opera roleplays.
