Hear ye, Hear ye. All must read these rules.
First off, my name is Rexy. I am the forum moderator. In addition, for those who do not know I am a girl. If you do not read these rules, however, I shall close your RPG until you do so. For although I am a nice person over this past week (while I have been away) there have been around 2 topics, which make no sense. In addition, 1 warning given out. I shall give you words or a sentence to type after reading each rule, to show you have.
Rule 1.) Please do not run more than 3 RPG topics at a time, or have your character in more than 3 topics at a time. It’s a lot of work for you and me. So don’t or I shall close your thread/delete your posts, and pm you about the rules. Sniff-sniff banger, is your word.
Rule 2.) Before creating sequels, prequels must be finished and closed. Also, they must be approved by moi. If you don’t, I will not be a happy bunny. Bunny.
Rule 3.) When creating a new character or species put it in here, or I will again pm you. And please let me approve of your char/species before using it/them. Choc.
Rule 4.) When creating mini-rpgs, please notify me in any way. Whether it’s on oddchat, in this topic or in a pm/email. Pmmers.
Rule 5.) Frink frink, be the word. Please please please! Put more detail at the beginning and if the topics name is (e.g.) “rebuilding rupture farms” make it about rupture farms. (And not about killing Abe.)
Rule 6.) If you are on the fame/shame wall, don’t complain. It’s for the best/worst. And if you’re not on it. Try harder next month. (To be on the fame bit, not shame bit) Shobble.
Rule 7.) It’s got to be about Oddworld. Just earlier, I moved hobo’s topic about the matrix. And as there wasn’t a rule about it, I couldn’t really tell him off. Therefore, it’s got to be about ODDWORLD.
If you think we should have any more rules, then please reply. I'd love t hear your suggestions.
Plants:
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. It’s got a larger starch count though. It will give food for a village and allow them to go with out food for 2 days because of the amount of starch in it. The bad part: it taste pretty disgusting.
Iocw
looks like an over turned octopus! Its a ball of nutrients a the bottom, but at the top, tentacle like vines spread out from the soil, with small leaves on them. Its whitish coloration gives the gardens a beautiful look, and their leaves smell good. They're not very filling but they are a good snack. The root part is only edible
Hiyuki: This green plant is very rare. And can only be eaten by certain species. Which include most natives. It has a red stem, which is very sweet, but if you cover the leaves with honey it becomes a delicacy.
If you have any more ideas please post them up, thanks.
Poll:
Should I apply for an out-of-oddworld RPG? We wold have to use it of course, but i've had a few people asking me about it. What do you think? Yes or no.
And Finally Species list:
(Any one can use these species as they are not in use and are pretty old)
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 (except for the eyes, duh) the cloak has a padded collar that raises up behind thick, and thins out as it comes to the front. Without the cloak the Shadows body is actually a giant celestial mass, from which they can create arms or other appendages.
They stand at least 12ft tall, and are extremely sinister, do not trust them at all. Suggested you avoid them at all costs.
Territory
The Shadows live in vast networks of caves throughout Oddworld were they sleep and learn. 12 lords rule the cave networks in Oligarchy. The walls of the caves are lined with special crystals, which the Shadows use to collect beings to absorb. 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 intelligent 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 Families or Sex's they live with whom ever they want, and make "Shadow lings" by combining celestial energy to create a being like both of the parenting Shadows. The Shadows have been staying in their caves until now. They have re-awakened 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 don’t exactly eat, they consume the life force of wounded creatures, the more intelligent the better, but what they're mostly draining, is there energy. The victim’s energy is drained from the body and kills them. Meaning their most favorite meals are Muddies, Tak'la, and Vykkers.
Weapons
Not really weapons they use there shape-shifting abilities and the ability to "Infest" a wounded opponent to combat. You could say they are weapons themselves.
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 centurion style helmet, of which 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 their slits when they use high power attacks. Strange.
History
The Shadows were created by the Ancients along with the Tak'la and many other legendary races’. Both being brother race's they hate each other. Except for the Gen'krok. The 2 races have been seen working together on numerous accounts.

Sien-kar (Translation: Sprit minded)(I made all these names up off the top of my head so, if I copied something or it mean something in another language, then sorry): A faction of the Tak'la that believe in freeing their mind and souls from they're very bodies, by going through a process, they all become mentally one, allowing greater phsyic reach and ability.

(Done)
(EXTRA): Tak'la means "Wingless Angles" in the Ancheints (*Having a Off day*) Language
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-gray 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 stump like 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 warmonger against each other. The Yinkar live in clans, and fight each other’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.
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.
Anything else you wanna say? Then reply! I might change the poll, and add stuff later. So stay tuned!
