"If there’s one thing the history of evolution has taught us, it’s that life will not be contained."

"It's true!" Ava grinned. "Evolution may be one of the most powerful forces in nature!"

"Maybe you could say that.... life, uh, finds a way?" Cue the giggle.

The intelligent species of Dearth

Commonalities between all 4 species:

They are all protists

Omnivorous

All, with the exception of virals, give live birth

Social creatures

Developmental stages happen at roughly the same time for all 4

Can develop mental disorders, but may vary between species

Common Ancestor of Unankind:

Very genetically mutable ancestor, can assimilate new DNA through mutation and horizontal gene transfer

Reproductive flexibility is still apparent in the 4 modern species that evolved from the ancestor

Virals:

The result of the ancestor assimilating virus genes through horizontal gene transfer instead of becoming infected and producing copies

Both male and female virals can sire, but neither can become pregnant

The second hardiest of the species, suffer the least from environmental concerns

Lowest empathy quotient of the 4 species

Highest IQ of the 4 species

Often cycloptic, but not always

Female virals are still capable of horizontal gene transfer sexually with other virals

Petraphines:

Genetically the closest to the ancestor, evolved to adapt to mineral rich underground conditions and water, grows rock and crystal from skin for defense as well

Does not need light and are capable of seeing in the dark

Are the most durable of the 4 species, do not tire the same way and can go longer without food and water

Highest pain tolerance of the 4

"Artificials" are petraphines, who for some reason, cannot process minerals and express them, so they rely on other man made materials to supplement (For example, Detroit uses car paint and Bonnie relies on ebonite)

The least physically diverse, tend to look the most "human"

Floros (Floro Sapien):

Ancestor adapted DNA from plantlife via horizontal gene transfer

Can reproduce either sexually giving live birth, or through pollination, forming a seed to be planted in substrate

Need for the sun is unique to floros, mental and physical health are dependent on it, will become ill and eventually die without

The most physically diverse of the 4

Most susceptible to illness, both infectious and genetic

Bacterials:

More in common with petraphines and floros than virals despite being adapted to bacteria genetics as a response to attempted infection like them

Prolonged sun exposure can be damaging to them, starting with a very painful and dangerous sunburn open to disease

Prone to herd mentalities as a byproduct of bacteria's quorum sensing

Arguably the least combative and most socially adaptive of the 4, most likely an evolutionary function to survive in large groups peacefully with each other

Gram negative bacterials have flexible and malleable skin and bodies with lenient bones that can bend a good amount before snapping, where gram positive bacterials typically have sturdier bodies and normal bones

When the ancestor fused virus genes into its makeup to form virals, the new species lost its ability to reproduce with itself, despite being very efficient at doing so with members of the other species

Hybrids:

Hybrids have very different needs than pure blooded individuals. For example, bacterials find the sun to be dangerous, but their cyano offspring have no such issues and often rely on the it like their floro parents -Hybrids make up less than 2% of the population. That's roughly the same population of redheads, asexuals, and intersex people in humans

Bacterials + Petraphines = X

The soft and simple half of bacterials becomes poisoned by the concentration of minerals within the cells, Bacterial and petraphine offspring fail very early on during pregnancy

Floros + Bacterials = Cys (Cyanos)

Cys (pronounced like "sighs" are the most viable of the two possible hybrids with a success rate of roughly 80% of pregnancies occurring without complications. Cys are infertile, and while most will bud, they will never bloom.

Petraphines + Floros = Terras (Terraflors)

Like cyanos, terraflors are infertile and will usually bud, but won't ever bloom. However, their success rate is closer to 30-40%. They tend to be less dependent on sunlight, but are significantly more likely to suffer petrifaction in their lifetimes than their fully floro relatives

WHOOO, long winded ref on the species! There's a lot of stuff detailed here, and even more yet that isn't!

everything is wrong, but it's alright

Happy Holidays!! @laterisers I was your secret santa this year!! :]

And we are ONLINE!Welcome everybody!

📬THE ASK BOX IS OPEN!📬

[anonymous-harpy]

Okay in MUCH lighter news this is the look we're going for. The feathery mop of hair is a wip, but you can see what I'm going for right?

Anyhow so a Bluejay and a Wolverine meet in a bar...

[didntaskforfrozenyoghurt]

remembered my b12 for the first time in over a fortnight and oh that's where my brain went lol

[paleobird]

🕯️ (if you're still taking these!)

"Oh man, Cyan is so cool! I've definitely never met anyone like him. I wonder if he'd let me ride on his back..."

Dr Blackbyrd and Dr Eosin's Science Slapfight Propaganda Post

(Art on the left by @wackywibrart )

Guess who entered ANOTHER one of these! Voting will be up on Sunday, but for now, I provide some wonderful fun facts on why these two deserve to be crowned the best mad scientists:

Blackbyrd has turned completely organic animals into pure robots, such as Subject K-001 ("Oceanus") that was turned into a living aquarium cat

Byrd ends up with. like. a lot of bitches. like we're at like 4ish partners at once at this point she's got incredible game

They're both digital beings with the ability to spawn in items from certain libraries; Eosin can spawn any item you can get in Roblox Studio, and Byrd can spawn in any item from any game she's played before

Eosin sabotaged one of their coworker's (Cyano's) experiments with the intent of killing him, and ended accidentally up killing one of his companions instead. Used his grief as an opportunity to implant a mind control device with the facade that it could resemble the deceased companion!

Eosin also has an unholy dragon made of pure meat in their lab that nobody knows the origin of

That's all I have for now, good luck to the other beloveds! Tagging @science-slapfight for propaganda purposes

And here's an image showing some bonus lore for Byrd I might explain later...

[cyanorhis]

shhhh they're staring at each other for 5 minutes I said do not interrupt

[laterisers]

it's Cy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
