So, where'd you get the idea for necromancy? And it's not like necromancy is always evil.
It is my job to free the world from these Evil Necromancers so that Good Necromancy can envelope all! Here are some questions so we can get a better description and oddism of the Tak'la! -Are the Platform Cities floating ontop the surface of Oddworld's Ocean? Or are they hovering above it? -Do they use spooce to generate their Psychic Powers? If not, what? -Where do they get the Seroon (Iron-like Metal) to turn it into Steroon? -How do the shoulder pads boost psychic powers? -What is the pearl-white material, and where do the Tak'la get it? -Why do the Geh'krok have boiling hot rivers of lava? They must go somewhere, so they go over the side, but after a long time, wouldn't it build up into an island? Where do they get the lava? -Why do the Geh'krok have dungeons? *** Tak'la Height: 7 feet, hovering 3 feet high Natural Habitat: The Large Platform citys above Oddworld's Ocean Diet: Mostly root-like plants, resembling carrots and potatoes. Description: Very thin, flat body with a skinny, oval head with slitted eyes, pointed chin. The long neck archs so that the head is near the chest. Tak'la have grayish skin coloration, orange eyes. Their arms start as one, but then branches off to two other arms. Each arm has a hand with three fingers, and opposable thumbs. Tak'la have long and skinny legs and three finger-like toes on their feet. They possess psychic powers, allowing them to hover three feet above the surface they are over. They have some telekinetic abilities, and a weak power to manipulate matter to their own will. Clothing: All the normal citizens wear a large shoulder pad made of Steroon Metal, with large orbs at each end and 2 foot long spear-like spines sticking out of them. This clothing boosts their Telekinetic Powers. Long, soft, tapestry-like robes flow down from the shoulder pad. The robes usually are colored black or red and have a Faction Isignia upon it. Info on Current Factions: Sien-kar This Tak'lanite Faction believe in heavy meditation, freeing their mind and souls from their very bodies. By going through this process each day, they sustain greater brain-power, allowing greater psychic reach and ability. Geh'krok Another Faction of the Tak'la that believe in training their people in the art of necromancy. They desire to raise their dead ancestors and create an army to overthrow the head platform, G'nek, and take over Oddworld. Pelor The Pelor Faction is teaches its people in the arts of Healing, Peace Making. Their only objective is to forge the Tak'lanite Factions together and become one empire and attempt to unite Oddworld and bring peace and harmony to all. Info on Platform Cities Although there are many different Platform Cities, they are all part of one community of Platforms, which is called Ref-puil, which in Tak'la means "Cities of the Clouds". Ten'wa The Home-Platform of Sien-kar. It is a large and majestic platform, it's temples and monastaries are made from a pearl-white material. A'kora The Home-Platform of the Geh'krok. It is large, dark, and over-all gloomy. Canals filled with boiling-hot liquid lava pour down the sides of the Platform. Dungeons and other evil structures make up the rest of this evil platform, a dark shadow over the sea of Oddworld. Tenie'ko-pa The Home-Platform of the Pelor. It is a creation of great technology and natural wonders, made up of gardens and tall towers made of Steroon; a welcome addition to the platform community. |
1. They are floating IN the are, so yes, above it
2.They are born with psychic energy, there species has developed a high level of inteligence and unlocked abilitys that allowed them to use Telekinesis and other forms of pysgonic powers 3.What? 4.There like lightning rods for them to focus their energy to, thus alowing them to use it in a larger vicinity and with stronger ability 5.In the Ocean, and from bone, and rocks, witch they find in the ocean 6.their "Overlord" raise's it with his energy(note the gothic structures witch allow larger range, he raise's it, and and yes, it DOSE make islands witch they then harvest and use for building matirial. And well....I duno the Lava just looks cool 7.They bring great warriors to them, after they have been difeated, then wait for them to die, them resumon them using necromencry Thanks for the questions |
Okay
Yeah, why not keep the billboard thing. That could work.
Sorry if I sounded a little harsh when I posted last... I needed coffee. Then again that's my excuse for everything :S. |
Yes, I know they were born with psychic powers... but what does it cost? I quote the great writer Orson Scott Card.
"What is the cost of magic? If there is none, then your characters become gods, doing anything as they please. If they are gods, then there is no problem in your story. So there is no story." - If you use the psychic powers, are you weakened? Do you feel tired? Or does it use spooce? - You said the towers were made of steel, but in oddworld, it is called Steroon. Where does your race get the metal? - You can't just have lava because it looks cool, that is wasteful. The Tak'la don't make stuff just because it looks 'cool', they build it for a purpose. - How are the Platforms held above the ocean? What powers it? |
New Weapon Format
Ok, I was being WAY too technical with you guys. Now that I find out you guys are using a different RPG style, I'll give you the NEW Weapon Format... We'll have to vote upon this in the Oddworld Council, however.
Blitz Packer (Catalog Price: 31 MLA, Worth Price: 55 MLA) Primary Attack: 5 Damage, 25% accuracy, 100 max ammo The Primary Attack of the Blitz Packer is to shoot a sub-photon vaporized blasts at a high range. The Blitz Packer need Sluggies to power it. Secondary Attack: 6 Damage, Melee, +45% accuracy The Secondary Attack of the Blitz Packer includes using the butt of the gun as a sort of club. You have to, however, get close to someone to use it. The Blitz Packer uses Laser Damage for the Primary Attack and Blunt Damage for the Secondary Attack. The Damage is what damage it does... seeing you guys don't want to use random numbers, I just made solid numbers. The accuracy is the chance that you hit, we need a stat called Dexterity that will raise the accuracy. The different kind of damage is against different kind of armor. Certain Damage Types will do more damage to certain Armor Types, get me? This is an easy way to do battles... |
The Yinkar
Name: The Yinkar
---Physical Description--- A normal Yinkar has a long, sloping face. Upon it there are two large eyes and five to twenty small breathing holes. The face slopes into an arm-like trunk, which it uses to pick up things in front of him. A Yinkar has two large shoulders, complete with large blue-grey spikes upon them. The arms are large and strong, with heavy carapace upon their wrists. The end of their arm is a stump, with a large blue spike sticking out of them. These spikes are biologically grown, and one can grow within two days if it is destroyed. The Yinkar's feet are flat and stumplike just like the arms, but they are a long and lean. The Yinkar are amazing creatures, because they don't breath out. They continually breath in, slowly. But, when their blood vessels pick up carbon dioxide from their body, they don't go back to the lungs, but to dense carbon dioxide compartments in their wrists and ankles. The carbon dioxide builds up, and on will, a Yinkar can release his 'spikes' with a carbon dioxide-based charge. This provides for a biological 'gun' that the Yinkar use. Also, when in need of speed, the Yinkar can use the same carbon dioxide build-up blast in his feet, causing him to leap twice as far and run twice as fast. The Yinkar have built in gills, as well as lungs, in emergency. They can't swim well, and they can't climb very well. But in flat areas, they rule all. ---Cultural Description--- The Yinkar believe in a snake-god above, but their god is just an excuse for them to continue their fighting and warmongery against eachother. The Yinkar live in clans, and fight eachother's family. The one distinct area they live in, where there is a large concentration of Yinkar Clan-Villages, that is known as The Gorge of Holy Battles to the Yinkar and surrounding natives, but is also called The Hunhe'mar Gulch. |
:
2.Miners. (*will post sub-species soon*) but Geh'krok mines with slaves, they take anyone they can find and make them a slave, besides themselves. 3.Heat, the Geh'krok feel that they need to have extream heat(part of their religon witch I'm not going to post YET, I haven't figured out all the details on god names, bear with me) to live at comfort, they became a sub-species after being exposed to the Lava. 4. Giant turbines, like the ones on a jet, made so that the weight of the plat form holds it down while still suspending it, some citys use large blimp sturtures. They power it with electricty, wich is gathered from storms, they set up pods that are held with baloons, that gather electricty, everyonce in a while, someone will go out and colect the cells that have filled up inside the pod, then replace them with empty ons, ect ect ect. |
See how productive this is? I ask questions and you build up your idea. I think we've come come to a creative alliance between you and I, I'm glad we solved our differences for the good of Oddworld.
Ok, more questions! *** - Where do the Tak'la mine? They are on platforms, so the platforms can't have any metals or mines. They are over the ocean, so any metals would have to be under the sea. Or do they harvest the metals from islands? - What if there are not many storms around, for say, a season? Do the Tak'la have any back up? - Where do the Tak'la grow their food, the root-like plants? Out in the open, in fields? Or in green houses? - Exactly what vegetation do the Tak'la grow? Give them names, descriptions, growing needs, and such. - Where and how do the Tak'la make their clothing? Is it silk from silk worms or is it from a certain vegetation that is like cotton? Is it taken from pack animals' fur? - Where and how do the Tak'la get the dye to dye their clothes with insignias and colors? - Why do the Tak'la hover over the ocean? Why can't they just float upon it? It would save them electricity, and, seeing as the platforms are very wide, it might be very possible to make it float. - How do the Sea Scavengers collect material from under the ocean? Do they use submarines? Or are their tunnels leading from the platform down underground the sea floor where they mine it? *** Tak'la Height: 7 feet, hovering 3 feet high Diet: Mostly root-like plants, resembling carrots and potatoes. Description: Very thin, flat body with a skinny, oval head with slitted eyes, pointed chin. The long neck archs so that the head is near the chest. Tak'la have grayish skin coloration, orange eyes. Their arms start as one, but then branches off to two other arms. Each arm has a hand with three fingers, and opposable thumbs. Tak'la have long and skinny legs and three finger-like toes on their feet. They possess psychic powers, allowing them to hover three feet above the surface they are over. They have some telekinetic abilities, and a weak power to manipulate matter to their own will. Clothing: All the normal citizens wear a large shoulder pad made of Steroon Metal, with large orbs at each end and 2 foot long spear-like spines sticking out of them. This clothing boosts their Telekinetic Powers. Long, soft, tapestry-like robes flow down from the shoulder pad. The robes usually are colored black or red and have a Faction Isignia upon it. Natural Habitat: The Tak'la live in large hovering platforms above Oddworld's Oceans. The platforms are powered by large turbines and hot-air balloons, the electricity needed for these machines is gathered from storms. The Tak'la have many small power plants in the form of weather balloons that gather the energy from lightning and store it into small, compact cells. These cells are gathered, replaced and installed into the platforms every few days. ---Known Occupations--- These occupations are for all factions, not the individual factions. That is why Geh'krok Necromancers and Sien-kar Monks are not included. Sea Scavenger - These Tak'lanite Scavengers search the sea floor for coral, bones, and rocks in the oceans from which they build their platforms from. Some are used on islands to harvest it for its material. The Geh'krok harvest the lava rocks from the islands that their Overlord makes. Energy Technician - These are Tak'lanites that find the lightning-gathering balloons and collect the energy that is stored in the cells of the balloons. Overlord - Geh'krok Official who raises lava from the inside of Oddworld to the few Geh'krok Platforms. Farmer - These Tak'la are charged with the position of growing the number of carrots and potatoes that the Tak'la civilization eat for food. Clothessmith - These Tak'la tailors and armorers make the shoulder pads for the many Tak'la. This is a tedious job, for the shoulder pads must be made exactly right so that psychic energy can be generated. Robeweaver/Tapestrymaker - These Tak'la make the robes for the many Tak'lanites that need clothing other than shoulder pads. Dyer - This job includes making the many dyes that color the Tak'la robes and clothing. Platform Inspector - This job includes checking the many engines and turbines that let the Platforms hover over Oddworld, and making sure that they don't wear out. Balloon-Maker - This job includes creating the Storm Balloons that collect power for the platforms. ---Info on Current Factions--- Sien-kar This Tak'lanite Faction believe in heavy meditation, freeing their mind and souls from their very bodies. By going through this process each day, they sustain greater brain-power, allowing greater psychic reach and ability.

1. They use Islands, correct
2.Organic waste, machines that use that burn the leftover vegtible matter from food, and from scraps of metal to small to use. 3.They grow them on the plat form, but just for refrance, heres a History lesson: When the first Tak'la took to the air, they brought with them seeds, some were lost, but they found roots to be the only thing that would grow. 4.okay, I'm going to do this one later when I have the time, but yes, I will give discriptions. 5.Silk. Silk worms were one of the things the first Tak'la took with them, Silk is what they all use, but some have other ways of doing it. 6.Again, the "Sea Scavangers" as you called them, take colored plants up with them, or report sighting them, then the Boss might tell them to take a plant up for testing and see if it can be used as dye. Were as the Geh'krok used to use blood, but they changed to dye as it would flake off and leave them wearing just silk, as oposed to red silk. 6.One thing all Tak'la want to do, is stay out of Oddworldian conflicts, as they want to stay a peaceful race, and could be reached by sea, easier than by air. But the Geh'krok do have sea establishments, for geting the warriors and sending out attacks to the coastline village's. 7.Ok, the main platform sends out small plat forms with rotatible turbines like a VTC, then lands on an Island, the Scavangers do their thing, then come back and go back to the main platform. *urge's Dark to ask a question about militia* |
COLORS OF CLOAKS(or whatever)
BLACK: Citizen BLACK WITH MUDOKEN SKULL: Necromencer aprentice RED: Sea Scavange RED WITH MUDOKEN SKULL: Necromencer worker Royal Blue Just what the name says, this is king cloaks, but black with red and silver is a Overlord (will be continued) |
.....one big mess.....one big mess......that's all i have to say...:D
|
Ok, here are your questions.
1. Tell me everything you know about the militia. 2. Where do they get fresh water for drinking and water for their farms and silk worms? 3. Are there any sports that the Tak'la play? 4. Explain the government to me. 5. Explain the religion to me. *urge's Dark to ask a question about militia* *** Tak'la Height: 7 feet, hovering 3 feet high Diet: Mostly root-like plants, resembling carrots and potatoes. These are grown on the platform. Farmers use fresh soil on open spaces of the platform to grow many root-like crops which they harvest in mass numbers every season and put them in the deep-freezer for storage. Since the vegetables the Tak'la harvest is root-like, the leafy tops of the plants are left as trash. This is put in compost heaps to enrich the soil of the fields. Description: Very thin, flat body with a skinny, oval head with slitted eyes, pointed chin. The long neck archs so that the head is near the chest. Tak'la have grayish skin coloration, orange eyes. Their arms start as one, but then branches off to two other arms. Each arm has a hand with three fingers, and opposable thumbs. Tak'la have long and skinny legs and three finger-like toes on their feet. They possess psychic powers, allowing them to hover three feet above the surface they are over. They have some telekinetic abilities, and a weak power to manipulate matter to their own will. Clothing: All the normal citizens wear a large shoulder pad made of Steroon Metal, with large orbs at each end and 2 foot long spear-like spines sticking out of them. This clothing boosts their Telekinetic Powers. Long, soft, tapestry-like silk robes flow down from the shoulder pad. The robes usually are colored black or red and have a Faction Isignia upon it. The clothes are made by the silk worms in the few silk worm forests, in which Tak'la breed and grow silk worms and take their silk for clothing. The forests are made of small bushes, the silk worm's natural habitat. The dye is harvested from dye plants that the Scavengers harvest from islands. The Geh'krok used to use blood for their red insignias, but they changed to dye as the blood would flake off and leave them with colorless silk. Natural Habitat: The Tak'la live in large hovering platforms above Oddworld's Oceans. The platforms are powered by large turbines and hot-air balloons, the electricity needed for these machines is gathered from storms. The Tak'la have many small power plants in the form of weather balloons that gather the energy from lightning and store it into small, compact cells. These cells are gathered, replaced and installed into the platforms every few days. The Tak'la dispose of rotten food and all wastes, including small bits of metal. This is compacted and recycled into easy-to-burn matter and stored in large furnaces inside the platform. If there is a lack of energy, then the platform back-up procedure kicks in and burns the disposed material. This provides enough energy for a day or two so they can get new energy cells. ---Known Occupations--- These occupations are for all factions, not the individual factions. That is why Geh'krok Necromancers and Sien-kar Monks are not included. Scavenger - These Tak'lanite Scavengers search the sea floor for coral, bones, and rocks in the ocean from which they build their platforms from. They use small mini-platforms to go down to the oceanic islands and harvest all they can from it. The Geh'krok harvest the lava rocks from the islands that their Overlord makes. The Scavengers also gather plants that possess ingredients to make dye that they use in their clothing. Silkworm Breeder - This job includes taking care of the Silkworm Forests that must be trimmed and examined to ensure maximum silk produce from the silkworms. They must take care of the silk worm, give them food and water, and harvest their silk. Energy Technician - These are Tak'lanites that find the lightning-gathering balloons and collect the energy that is stored in the cells of the balloons. Overlord - Geh'krok Official who raises lava from the inside of Oddworld to the few Geh'krok Platforms. Farmer - These Tak'la are charged with the position of growing the number of carrots and potatoes that the Tak'la civilization eat for food. They work in the open, under the sun, in the fields in the open areas of their Platform cities. Clothessmith - These Tak'la tailors and armorers make the shoulder pads for the many Tak'la. This is a tedious job, for the shoulder pads must be made exactly right so that psychic energy can be generated. Robeweaver/Tapestrymaker - These Tak'la make the robes for the many Tak'lanites that need clothing other than shoulder pads. This includes gathering the silk for the Silkworm Breeders and weaving it into complex forms. Dyer - This job includes making the many dyes that color the Tak'la robes and clothing. The dye is taken from Scavengers and heated up into vats of hot water and turned into colorful dye. Then, the silk must be dipped into it and sit there for many hours before it changes color. Platform Inspector - This job includes checking the many engines and turbines that let the Platforms hover over Oddworld, and making sure that they don't wear out. Balloon-Maker - This job includes creating the Storm Balloons that collect power for the platforms. ---Info on Current Factions--- Sien-kar This Tak'lanite Faction believe in heavy meditation, freeing their mind and souls from their very bodies. By going through this process each day, they sustain greater brain-power, allowing greater psychic reach and ability. Geh'krok Another Faction of the Tak'la that believe in training their people in the art of necromancy. They desire to raise their dead ancestors and create an army to overthrow the head platform, G'nek, and take over Oddworld. Pelor The Pelor Faction is teaches its people in the arts of Healing, Peace Making. Their only objective is to forge the Tak'lanite Factions together and become one empire and attempt to unite Oddworld and bring peace and harmony to all. ---Info on Platform Cities--- Although there are many different Platform Cities, they are all part of one community of Platforms, which is called Ref-puil, which in Tak'la means "Cities of the Clouds". Ten'wa The Home-Platform of Sien-kar. It is a large and majestic platform, it's temples and monastaries are made from a pearl-white material. A'kora The Home-Platform of the Geh'krok. It is large, dark, and over-all gloomy. Canals filled with boiling-hot liquid lava pour down the sides of the Platform. Dungeons and other evil structures make up the rest of this evil platform, a dark shadow over the sea of Oddworld. Tenie'ko-pa The Home-Platform of the Pelor. It is a creation of great technology and natural wonders, made up of gardens and tall towers made of Steroon; a welcome addition to the platform community. |
1. Militia is very scarce, but they can unleash heck if every faction worked together, on their own, they'er literly powerless:
WEAPONS(If anyone wants to, go-ahead and sell these): Daggers: Built of vairious matiral colected, very durible. Rail Gun(Imobile weapon(You cant sell this!)): Large strutures built on smaller platforms, and used for defence against any raiders. They fire large magnitized rails of Steroon, witch drive themselves into the target. Reloading is one of the drawbacks of the Rail Gun. The barrle only allows one rail to be placed into its loading tube at a time. Thus leaving it volrible for a peiriod of time. Energy Cannon(only one of them, and its Imobile, and could only be used once during combat(You cant sell this!)): Huge, and only on G'nek. It is their most powerful weapon. It fires a large beam of pure energy witch drains a specail power sectioon of the platform, filled with large energy cells. It fires only once, then the whole cell suply needs to be refilled. Wich is 500 cells, so it wont be used during live combat very often. It is the Tak'la's most disturctive thing in their ownership, and is only used under extream curcumstance's. Rifle: A basic rifle with a scope. But, it use's high vilocity rounds, they'er the Geh'krok's assasin weapon. Assualt rifle: This is what G'nek police use for a standered plat form deffence weapon. Its compact, light weight, and stores 50 rounds to a clip. Its medium velocity and has a flash light attachment. Peace keeper pistol: Very dangerous. Its High velocity and the rounds are filled with sionide. Its called the Peace keeper pistol, becuase it usaly shows someone who's boss, and keeps everything in line. Its refered to a PKP by some. Pistol: a normal pistol. Given to those who are sent on mission's to other plat forms. It looks a little like a luger but has a larger clip size. Kelr'jo: A honer weapon. This is a long pole with a curved scimitar like blade at the end, and built from steroon. Its light, and was used by the first Tak'la, called the "Iurl-ten" wich in Tak'latian means "Ground angles". As they were first living on the ground before they went to the sky. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Military troops are scarce, but some volentear to fight. They are all given a weapon of choice, and info on everything thats happening on oddworld that they know of. 2.Sea Scavengers bring all recsource's up when they go on mining runs, this is possibly the worst job. 3.Well, the children play a game like soccer sometimes on open area's on the platforms. But normaly, the only sport that anyone likes watching would be the fights! Its like a gladiator fight but on a large cup like platforms. They take people acused of crimes and make them fight eachother, but not kill. 4.The goverments pretty simple. They all just make disitions on things at G'nek. But not for the Factions. The Factions deal with whatever they want however they want. 5.Again, they all belive what they want. Price's on weapons(should be exspensive but shops shouldn't have to many because the Tak'la barely ever go on the ground): Dagger:50 MLA Rifle:200MLA Assualt Rifle:100 MLA PKP(because of the damage it dose):800 MLA Pistol:100 MLA |
-In what kind of buildings do the Tak'la live in?
-How do the Tak'la sharpen their daggers? -Name those who raid upon Platform Cities. Are they other Tak'la from other factions? Or are they from a different race entirely. -How do the Tak'la get fresh water for their Platform Cities? There must be something more efficient than the Sea Scavenger taking the water with them! Maybe a pipe that runs from the sea to the platform, then boils the salt out of it? Do they collect the rain? What? -Name all the natural resources that the Tak'la have. -What are some common holidays that the Tak'la celebrate? A festival or banquet? -Name the common religion of the Tak'la, the one that most of them believe, and describe it. -History * Origin/development of the Tak'la. Where did they originally come from? * Important people (plus living dates) or events in the Tak'la's history? Were there any important people of the Tak'la? Any great events? Put into chronological order. Tak'la Appearance Very thin, flat body with a skinny, oval head with slitted eyes, pointed chin. The long neck archs so that the head is near the chest. Tak'la have grayish skin coloration, orange eyes. Their arms start as one, but then branches off to two other arms. Each arm has a hand with three fingers, and opposable thumbs. Tak'la have long and skinny legs and three finger-like toes on their feet. They possess psychic powers, allowing them to hover three feet above the surface they are over. They have some telekinetic abilities, and a weak power to manipulate matter to their own will. They are seven feet tall normally, but they hover three fight high, giving them a ten foot heighth. Territory The Tak'la live in large hovering platforms above Oddworld's Oceans. The platforms are powered by large turbines and hot-air balloons, the electricity needed for these machines is gathered from storms. The Tak'la have many small power plants in the form of weather balloons that gather the energy from lightning and store it into small, compact cells. These cells are gathered, replaced and installed into the platforms every few days. The Tak'la dispose of rotten food and all wastes, including small bits of metal. This is compacted and recycled into easy-to-burn matter and stored in large furnaces inside the platform. If there is a lack of energy, then the platform back-up procedure kicks in and burns the disposed material. This provides enough energy for a day or two so they can get new energy cells. People All Tak'la have small psychic abilities, such as telekinesis. This allows them to hover and move objects with their mind. When using their powers, it makes them light-headed and stupid, because their mind is tracked for psychic powers and not thought. Clothing All the normal citizens wear a large shoulder pad made of Steroon Metal, with large orbs at each end and 2 foot long spear-like spines sticking out of them. This clothing boosts their Telekinetic Powers. Long, soft, tapestry-like silk robes flow down from the shoulder pad. The robes usually are colored black or red and have a Faction Isignia upon it. The clothes are made by the silk worms in the few silk worm forests, in which Tak'la breed and grow silk worms and take their silk for clothing. The forests are made of small bushes, the silk worm's natural habitat. The dye is harvested from dye plants that the Scavengers harvest from islands. The Geh'krok used to use blood for their red insignias, but they changed to dye as the blood would flake off and leave them with colorless silk. Food Mostly root-like plants, resembling carrots and potatoes. These are grown on the platform. Farmers use fresh soil on open spaces of the platform to grow many root-like crops which they harvest in mass numbers every season and put them in the deep-freezer for storage. Since the vegetables the Tak'la harvest is root-like, the leafy tops of the plants are left as trash. This is put in compost heaps to enrich the soil of the fields. Weapons Daggers - The Daggers are made of a number of materials. Those with only self-defense needs use sharpened coral, stone, in their daggers. Those who are serious about their fighting use Seroon and Steroon in their daggers. Rail Turret - The Rail Turret is an immobile weapon built upon small, mini-platforms. They are used for defense against raiders against their Platform-Cities. They fire large magnetized rails of Steroon, which home into their enemy. Reloading is one of the drawbacks of the Rail Turret. The barrel only allows one 'rail' to be placed into its loading tube at a time. Thus leaving it vulnerable for a period of time. Energy Cannon - The Energy Cannon is a rare weapon, and there is only one that exists, and that is one that is floating aboe the platform of G'nek. It is their most powerful weapon. It fires a large beam of pure electricity that drains up to five Storm Energy Cells, the ones gathered from the Storm Balloons. This ammount of energy is relative to roughly ten lightning bolts, and so it is very destructive. When fired, the beam is activated for five seconds of pure energy at a target. Rifle - A basic rifle with a scope. But, it uses high velocity rounds, they're than the Geh'krok's assasin weapon. Assualt rifle - This is what G'nek Police Department use for a standard platform defence weapon. It's compact, light-weight, and stores up to 50 rounds to a clip. It's medium velocity and has a flashlight attachment. Peace Keeper Pistol - A very dangerous weapon. It has a high velocity and the rounds are filled with psienyde gas. It's called the Peace Keeper pistol, because it usually shows someone who's boss, and keeps everything in line. Its refered to a PKP by some. Upon being shot by the Peace Keeper Pistol, you might surive the shot. But the psyenyde will qucikly seep into your bloodstream and prevent you to breathe in any way. Pistol - A normal pistol. Given to those who are sent on missions to other platforms. It looks a little like a luger but has a larger clip size. Kelr'jo - A honing weapon. This is a long pole with a curved blade at the end, and built from steroon. It's light, and was used by the first Tak'la, called the "Iurl-ten" wich in Tak'latian means "Angels of the Earth". As they were first living on the ground before they went to the sky. Occupations These occupations are for all factions, not the individual factions. That is why Geh'krok Necromancers and Sien-kar Monks are not included. Scavenger - These Tak'lanite Scavengers search the sea floor for coral, bones, and rocks in the ocean from which they build their platforms from. They use small mini-platforms to go down to the oceanic islands and harvest all they can from it. The Geh'krok harvest the lava rocks from the islands that their Overlord makes. The Scavengers also gather plants that possess ingredients to make dye that they use in their clothing. Silkworm Breeder - This job includes taking care of the Silkworm Forests that must be trimmed and examined to ensure maximum silk produce from the silkworms. They must take care of the silk worm, give them food and water, and harvest their silk. Energy Technician - These are Tak'lanites that find the lightning-gathering balloons and collect the energy that is stored in the cells of the balloons. Overlord - Geh'krok Official who raises lava from the inside of Oddworld to the few Geh'krok Platforms. Farmer - These Tak'la are charged with the position of growing the number of carrots and potatoes that the Tak'la civilization eat for food. They work in the open, under the sun, in the fields in the open areas of their Platform cities. Clothessmith - These Tak'la tailors and armorers make the shoulder pads for the many Tak'la. This is a tedious job, for the shoulder pads must be made exactly right so that psychic energy can be generated. Robeweaver/Tapestrymaker - These Tak'la make the robes for the many Tak'lanites that need clothing other than shoulder pads. This includes gathering the silk for the Silkworm Breeders and weaving it into complex forms. Dyer - This job includes making the many dyes that color the Tak'la robes and clothing. The dye is taken from Scavengers and heated up into vats of hot water and turned into colorful dye. Then, the silk must be dipped into it and sit there for many hours before it changes color. Platform Inspector - This job includes checking the many engines and turbines that let the Platforms hover over Oddworld, and making sure that they don't wear out. Balloon-Maker - This job includes creating the Storm Balloons that collect power for the platforms. Weaponsmith - Makes the number of pistols, assault rifles, and blades that the Tak'la need. They use all sorts of material, for coral to steroon. Government Hierarchy-Democracy... there is a council upon G'nek that decides on everything for every factions. The factions themselves decide upon things as well, but to a lesser degree. ---Info on Current Factions--- Sien-kar This Tak'lanite Faction believe in heavy meditation, freeing their mind and souls from their very bodies. By going through this process each day, they sustain greater brain-power, allowing greater psychic reach and ability. Geh'krok Another Faction of the Tak'la that believe in training their people in the art of necromancy. They desire to raise their dead ancestors and create an army to overthrow the head platform, G'nek, and take over Oddworld. Pelor The Pelor Faction is teaches its people in the arts of Healing, Peace Making. Their only objective is to forge the Tak'lanite Factions together and become one empire and attempt to unite Oddworld and bring peace and harmony to all. ---Info on Platform Cities--- Although there are many different Platform Cities, they are all part of one community of Platforms, which is called Ref-puil, which in Tak'la means "Cities of the Clouds". Ten'wa The Home-Platform of Sien-kar. It is a large and majestic platform, it's temples and monastaries are made from a pearl-white material. A'kora The Home-Platform of the Geh'krok. It is large, dark, and over-all gloomy. Canals filled with boiling-hot liquid lava pour down the sides of the Platform. Dungeons and other evil structures make up the rest of this evil platform, a dark shadow over the sea of Oddworld. Tenie'ko-pa The Home-Platform of the Pelor. It is a creation of great technology and natural wonders, made up of gardens and tall towers made of Steroon; a welcome addition to the platform community. |

Ok Abe's Son! I think the questioning is over, unless you have more material. Let's revise and review over it, edit it, expand and advance upon it, and it'll be worthy for submission!
Nice workin' with ya! |
Yay! I feel specail!

Sub-species:
Tak'la-sein When the first being of this kind left, he was a Sein-kar member, and achived leaving his body, he took celestial form, his legs were gone and instead a ghost like tail took its place, he was completly unsolid. He was soul and mind bound together and released from the body. He left the other members and split himself into multiples, each one having its own emotions and free will. They were a pale blue and semi-translucent. They had greater psychic powers and could fly as a beam of energy. They could be hurt though. They needed to be killed with majic of some form. Psychic energy worked greatest on them, you could disable them and use them as your own energy with the right power. The main creator made himself into a crystal in the earth, making a large valcano like form around him with small enterance's. There his creations lived, spliting. Tak'la-Ush Ush is the Tak'latian word for "Strong". This sub-species split off out of no-where and went to the ground and into the deserts. They developed tough skin and lost their second arm. leaving a stub that was movible. They used it for peirceings after becuse of its uselessness, it lost all nerve conection becuse of no use. They developed great strength also, building their muscle mass but losing contact with their psychic powers. Thus making them a brutish species. They built large scimitar like weapons and formed an extra 2 fingers alowing them to grip weapons better. They changed clothing to robes and loin-cloths, rust red, the males now wearing trophies of their newly killed, like a finger bone, a personal belonging or a tooth. They became barbarians and their intelagence of technology was reduced to melee weapons. The exstent of range weapons was bows and other implements in that same feild. Guns became something that none knew of, and they began eating meat. Their bodys became now effected to salt water becuse of the fresh water they took in, but their disease imune system grew alowing little disease to effect them. Tak'la Bineu This species was formed when a Tak'la went and lived in a swamp. He developed primitive gills, rough skin, large eyes, peupiless, and duoble eyelids. They also grew in size and their skeleton took shape into somewhat of a frog. They are in a frog position, they have webed, clawed feet and hands. Their diet is mainly fish. They created spears and harpoons out of trees, logs, stones, and bone. Bone was their greatest resource. Most creatures die in their swamps becuse of the gases. They developed an imune system, and lived after dead left overs of animals that died in the swamp. Their bones proved useful as tools. They lost knowlage of technology and newer things. being now primitive they live, iscolated from the Tak'la. Tak'la eic Eci means "Fire walker" in Tak'latian. This sub-species was formed when a Geh'krok member left and went to the ground. He went to the valcano's of oddworld and lived near the mouth. He developed thick, tough, fire resistant skin, and his feet grew a carapace, thus alowing them to, literily, walk through fire. Hence the name "Fire walker". Their rib cage became larger and more built in the upper body, it expanded. Their hole upper body became larger. Their arms lost the doubble feature and became a single arm. their skull also became larger, their bottem jaw expanded and they formed large claws. This species is VERY hostile, and should be approched with cution. This is pretty much done. Nothing more I need to do. Might be updated if I get any new idea's soon |
All we really need is the descriptions of the root-like plants.
|
Oh yeah
Ruci Looks like a bluish radish with long tall stocks growing up from its top. There are 3 stocks and they look like corn stocks, but no corn, just leaves. Uic Looks like a potato. Its got a larger starch count though. It will give food for a village and allow them to go with out food for 2 days becuse of the amount of starch in it. The bad part: it taste pretty grose. Iocw looks like an over turned octipus! Its a ball of nutrients a the bottem, but at the top, tenticle like vines spred out from the soil, with small leaves on them. Its whitish coloration gives the gardens a beutifle look, and their leaves smell good. They're not very filling but they are a good snack. The root part is only edible. Thats about it. Those are the mager crops. |
What should we do next?! How about... the Geshwar?
|
Uh..I duno, I'll post it sometime soon though if I'm going to
|
Question: If you come up with a new species, you have to have it "registered" right? right. Can we make a note at the bottom of the description stating anyone can use this species or a note saying this is to only be used by the creator?
|
well heres my cerated species
PLANT EATER hight: 5 foot diet:plants and meat and its kills any thing that enters its temples maze persinal profile:the plant eater has a wide mouth that is conected to its 3 legs it has 2 arms that have razor sharp claws and only few are in the forests infant plant eaters name:PLANTEY |
This was inspired by the zerg so here we go.
Name: Treg'nagoule (In the anchints language "Mortal demons of the flesh") Appearance: Un-diffined, they're a hive based speices and each life form is specailized for 1 type of job, the most true form of the Treg, would be the Hive Worms. Large bloated worm like beings that used themselves and other matirial around them to form a hive. Classes: Larva: Small maggot like creatures about the size of a small dog, can morph into whatever the hive mind tells them to Worker: The workers are like large beetles with scyth like claws coming out of the front of the body, small spider-like legs under it help it to move fast. They produce matirial with wich they can make structures. These are the most important but simplist of the moprhed beings. Soldier: The soldiers look like small insect/lizard-like creatures, there low to the ground, fast, and good a taring things to pieces(will continue later) |
Im sorry, but they were not inspired by the zerg...
They are the zerg! |
Yeah I dropped that Idea, now I'm gona make the shadow
|
Shadows
Appearance They all wear long black cloaks, no mater what, they always do. There heads look like black human heads with red glowing eyes and no facial features at all(exsept for the eyes, duh) the cloak has a padded coller that raises up behind thick, and thins out as it comes to the front. Without the cloak the Shadows body is actualy a gaint celstial mass, from wich they can create arms or other appendages. They stand atleast 12ft tall, and are extreamly sinister, do not trust them at all. Suggested you avoid them at all cost's. Territory The Shadows live in vast networks of caves throughout Oddworld, were they sleep and learn. The cave networks are ruled in Oligarchy by 12 lords. The walls of the caves are lined with specail crystals wich the Shadows use to colect beings to obsorb. The creature has to be wounded, or weak for it to work, other wise the creature would still be able to thrive inside the Shadow. People All Shadows are intellegent and have a small task force of creatures that the choose to "Infest", meaning if there was a war the Shadows would sit back and wait till there creatures are dead and then wreak hell on the wounded opposing force's. The Shadows live in colonies, and since there is no Familes or Sex's they live with whom ever they want, and make "Shadowlings" by combining celestial energy to create a being like bolth of the parenting Shadows. The Shadows have been staying in their caves until now. They have re-awakend and slowly Shadow's are leaving the caves. Some by choice, others were told to by the lords. And now that they've come out to feed. Almost no one is safe.. Food They dont exactly eat, they consume the life force of wounded creatures, the more intellegent the better, but what they're mostly draining, is there energy. The victems energy is drained from the body and kills them. Meaning there most favorite meals are Muddokens, Tak'la, and Vykkers. Weapons Not realy weapons they use there shape-shifting abilitys and the ability to "Infest" a wounded opponint to combat. You could say they are weapons themselfs. Occupations These are the types of Shadows that are found about in Oddworld. Remember every part is black unless said other wise. Lords- There are only 12, but they are the most powerful of all Shadows. They wear a Roman centurian style helmet, of wich the openings are glowing red. They have the ability to control massive amounts of creatures at a time, and are the most feared of all Shadows. Aen'Tu-rai- These are the most mysterious and strangest of the Shadows. They have a round head and slited eyes that look like they've been carved in the orb of a head. They use the most celestial energy and weep tears of blood from there slits when they use high power attacks. Strange. History The Shadows were created by the Ancheints along with the Tak'la and many other legendary race's. Bolth being brother race's they hate each other. Except for the Gen'krok. The 2 race's have been seen working together on numoris acounts. |
