NEW PBW Game : Galactic Realism

[dogscoff]

In response to your email Intimidator:
I can't get to my email until later tonight, so I thought I'd upload my race description here and now for you and the other players. I don't seem to have left you much scope for "personalising" the game experience per your email, but maybe you can come up with something. The shipset I will be using is my own KanesS set, which just happens to be fully optimised for Proportions =-)

Biological Description := The KanesS are up to a metre long, thin and snake-like. They use their highly-developped tails to grip and manipulate objects. They have powerful jaws capable of digging through ice or shattering bone, a sensitive sense of smell, a keen sonar sense and a refined palate. The KanesS evolved on an ice world, where they live in vast tunnel sytems bored into the thick ice layer. They are as at home above the ice in the thin CO2 atmosphere as they are below, where a warm ocean nurtures a wide variety of life forms. The KanesS are scavengers, feeding on any dead or nearly-dead thing they can find, and are not averse to cannibalism. They breed rapidly and adapt very quickly to adverse environments.

Society Description := The KanesS Conspiracy are much like other KanesS, but with a somewhat better idea of how to properly interact with aliens than their forebears. Their actions are still very much governed by their appetites, and the higher qualities like mercy and empathy that they aspire to will often be overridden by their baser instincts to undermine, deceive, divide, weaken and devour anyone who looks like they might make a decent meal. Nonetheless they are highly sociable and organised, living under the rule of a crown prince who is descended directly from the true KanesS monarchy.

General History Description := The KanesS Conspiracy is actually a lost colony of the original KanesS Society. During the violent social upheaval that surrounded their discovery of spaceflight, the ruling powers needed to eliminate a certain rebel princess and her supporters, who believed in dangerous and unnatural concepts such as "compassion". These troublemakers were tricked into boarding a coloniser fleet and then flung headlong into deepest space. Somehow they survived and found a suitable world to colonise, and after many lifetimes in cryogenic storage and hundreds of generations spent developping their new home, the descendents of the KanesS Conspiracy are ready to take to the stars once more.

BTW, just writing the above has got me pining for Xenology yet again. I love writing for the KanesS, and I may have to do some game-driven fanfic for this game. I might also have to bug a certain someone else into joining us...
