Roleplaying

Today was any other normal day for Cairo, as usual he was waiting for the waters to grow dark. he thrived when the waters were dim, as the loricious was built for seeing through the dark water on nights. 

he swam off the rock he was sitting on, looking around for a morsel to eat, as usual, he kept an eye on his sleeping pack in case the males decided to go charging..er...swimming after him. eventually after a few minutes of swimming, he saw a small school of fish that were still existed even after the five main species came to life on this planet. he wrapped himself in some kind of dead plant, and opened his mouth ever so slightly to catch the fish that swam his way.

an hour passed, no luck. in frustration, cairo unwrapped himself and darted towards the fish, using his streamlined body to quickly maneuver the waters. the fish he was chasing after were slower than he, and one managed to slip under his jaws. Cairo quickly ate the fish and swam back home. another day would begin already, and soon.

but not without a little twist, the dominant male of his little 'herd' woke up, and glared at Cairo, frantically swimming, now, to get back to his cave. he quickly rammed into cairo, digging his claws and teeth into him to show who was boss.

and like that, it was over. Cairo was bleeding, but still alive in his cave, cowering under a rock. as soon as he calmed himself, he slowly drifted off into some sort of sleep.

The days are shorter than Earth's as of now. the air toxic as usual. However, a few volcanoes on doredan island seem to be waking up from their recent slumber. especially the big lumbering volcano at it's edge. time can only tell when this great volcano will erupt.

The climate seems to be getting warmer with the recent waking up of volcanoes on the islands....hmmmm.

Fenir wakes up in his cave the burns paining him. He feels rather hungry and decides to go hunt. He swims out of his cave and quickly hides in some black seaweed. Fenir waits for nearly three hours and a school of fish swimm above the the seaweed he is hiding in. He waits for a moment and positions himself ready to strike. A fish is about to swim above him and it comes closer....closer.....and.....BAM. With a burst of speed Fenir strikes and eats the fish. The school is swimming around frantically as he eats them one by one. Fenir soon eats ten fish and feels satisfied. He swimms back to his cave. When he gets back he smells another riile in there. He takes another sniff and relizes its a wounded female. He swims in slowly as to avoid startling the riile. She looks up at him and watches as he swimms closer....and closer....and closer....ever closer until he is right next to her. She is covered in bite marks and deep cuts. Fenir leaves the cave and comes back with a few fish. He sets them down and she eats.

Cairo woke up early to the smell of fish blood...he opened his eyes, dazed to the sudden burst or light, when he came out of his underwater cave, he glanced at the surface of the water. Some objects, covered in something bright, were hurdling near him, or away...he couldn't tell. the smell of blood didn't awake his curiosity, only his hunger.

he bolted off, scratching at shells to look for the hidden fish. nothing.

a few insolitus hours passed, and he had only found a few shell fish to subdue his hunger for now. Cairo looked around for schools of fish, but he only saw a tuluu in the distance with it's calf...this was something to run from. cairo forgot about his hunger and bolted back into his cave, for now, at least.

Added an update to the qui!

 

***males are smaller than the females

 

***females fight for the males when breeding season comes!

want a species to have a certain adaptation/something different? message me :)

 

thanks.

Iden was bleeding badly,she had run in with a lrger and older female she had got in a fight over terratory and Iden dident win.

She was on her way to a new terratory now that the old female had pushed her out.But she was still bleeding this was not good it could attract unwanted attention and she had seen a loricious sevaral times in this area.Luckaly it was a female not as vishious as a male loricious.

Movement! she thought it was a fish so she quickly swam towards it expecting a meal but what she found was a female loricious swimming out of her cave oviously she smelt blood.Iden froze the loricious was searching for a bleeding creature her!

Luckely her bleeding had had almost stopped only a few drops of purple blood was still coming out.The loricous looked sevaral times near Iden but her deep blue color helped her blend in.

Finally the loricous whent back to sleep in her cave.

Iden moved on looking for a new terratory ones again.

a new planet named insolitus
is around 7 billions years old and has begun to develop aquatic life, the air is warm, and toxic meaning no person can settle there. The life there however, is unique, evolving from very primitive fish and other things to survive such temperatures and air.

there are only small islands so far, as most of the land is covered with semi-toxic waters, about 90% water. 

in the veopocian stage, there is only aquatic life, several different species of fish, all somewhat adapted to the waters in which they live. the main species, however, dominate these waters.

the current islands are:

 

Ruphrim islands:

the smallest islands are here, and for the moment; mainly flat due to the glaciers that pounded it's surfaces a few billion years ago. there is a small volcano on the main island, named ruphrim, which in turn gave these small islands their names!

Doredan island:

the largest island so far, and certainly the most dangerous if your species is not fit to live here...why? most of the island is covered in volcanos, the largest one giving the island it's name. it erupts every so often. but these eruptions can cause a species to go extinct. Loricious seem to thrive along the coastline.

Noratus island:

the second largest island here, known mainly for the strange things growing there. plants. only small grasses not yet quite adapted to fit life on the island, though it does hold the future of the land animals that could live here.

Coronus ocean:

this is the ocean in which you will live in throughout the veopocian age, it seems almost clear, except for the acidic and toxic parts around some reefs, and especially doredan island. it has underwater volcanoes, which constantly spew out black clouds of ash like material.

 

 

You are an animal, small or large, living on Insolitus, and through the first stage on the 7 billion year old planet after a long ice age hid the planet from life. 

the stage has a unique name, veopocian, meaning young stage in greek(if i translated to english correctly?)

 

and you never know, the species you are may dominate the land one day....or it could e the shadow of something grander, merely invisible to the world.

After the forming of insolitus, it was a rough road. although no life existed, it's been through:

small ice ages

a huge ice age, this gave way to land, however, it deposited a lot of water.

several major volcanic eruptions.

and life.

 

1. general EX RP rules.

2. body language only, the animals here cannot speak! (yet, i don't know if i'm ever going to change this.)

3. pay attention to where your animal is in. if you're a tuluu, do not go wandering into the toxic waters, because you won't live long! unless, you know, you're bored.

4. odd coloration is certainly allowed! however, no neon or rainbow coloration, please.

5. pay attention to the RP master notes! they will contain information regarding changes to the climate, or events that could, or are happening on the planet. Why? because these notes could extinct the entire species in time. c:

6.it will take a loooooong time for aquatic life to adapt to grow on land, again, notes will be posted on which species looks ready to adapt first! 

7. your character CAN DIE. beware of other creatures, as they can prove deadly for you, or your character's offspring :)

 8. young animals(all of them) grow up to adulthood at 2 years of age!

Species and their information:

Loricious:

a medium sized aquatic reptile about the length of a young adult human and the height of a small car. it looks like a raptor built for swimming, but it's head is wide, and more crocodilian. The gills on the side of it's face are quite large, and get even bigger when the animal breathes, not only does this capture more oxygen, but it can also scare off potential predators! the loricious mainly feeds on small fish and shell fish that are quite a ways away from doredan island, where they thrive. weighs about 600 pounds. 

Tuluu:

the largest animal in the veopocian, it easily dominates the majority of the seas, minus the toxic parts. it is the length of 3 buses, and the height of a large truck. it's weight is a temendous 5 tons. the tuluu almost looks like a nightmare: you might say it would look like a cross between a dolphin, a crocodile, and a frilled shark. it feeds on whatever it can get it's mouth around, and in desparate times, even underwater plants.

Qui:

a small eel-like fish with an elongated crocodilian snout, like a gharial. it lives in the semi-toxic waters in small reefs. the qui is the longest animal here, about the length of about 5 buses. it relies on fish in their shells to eat. the qui migrates to colder waters for feeding every year, but strangely they do not breed here. and daringly enough, when the tuluus come around to raise their young, the qui will prey apon these massive babies. weighs about 700 pounds. During the breeding season, the females fight for the males, what's even more peculiar, you ask? well, the males are smaller, weighing around 300-500 pounds, and the length of 2 buses.

Riile:

a rather wolf-like reptile creature with the strangest of appearances. it's feet are webbed, and reptilian, but the rest of it seems to look like a hairless wolf. but the oddity does not stop there, it has spines on it's legs(all four of them), neck, and back. they're similar to a porcupine, but do not fall out when they strike something. these spines make them look bigger, and are also used to entice the ladies. these spines also inject some kind of poison into their attacker, which could end their life. so eating the riile is no easy feet. and surprisingly, the riile is the first mainly omnivorous predator. Riiles are about the length of an average lion, and the height of a normal riile goes up to about the hip of a normal, full grown human. weighs in at about 1 ton

Nautilus:

the largest fish around. it's about the size of a large great white shark, but only half the length. it's a gentle giant, feeding on plants. it's one of the main prey animals of the tuluus, but other than that it gets left alone. weighs about 1.5 tons.

 

-more species WILL get added, if you have a suggestion, poke me in the OOC chat!-
