self-replicating information as well as see what will happen because of you messing with it, shortly thereafter you see what seems to be a piece of paper with something written on it in English if you remember correctly. it reads as follows
welcome to the realm of those who failed to ascend. here you will be given a second chance at ascension due to the circumstances that led to your demise.
the laws of the universe are not the same as they were in your universe but they are quite similar
you failed to ascend due to enemy spies closing the portal as soon as half of your population was through the portal and you just so happened to have only gotten all the way into the portal a mere second before it had its power supply of 1000 suns reduced to to the full output of 2 red dwarf stars and only a few thousand of your ships made it through
now that you have been told what led to you being in your current state you will be told all the rules of this universe that you need to know before having a proper brain.
you are currently a simple protocell in the depths of the hydrothermal vents of the 15th moon of a gas giant with a molten iron core that provides an extremely strong and large magnetic field able to completely stop you from getting obliterated if your star goes supernova, your oceans are a 50/50 mix of pentane and water with the pentane being only above the water with films of air separating them due to pentane being nonpolar and water being polar. due to this silica and carbon based life are able to exist on your planet in different niches but without lots of adaptations neither can survive in the same niche.
You may choose what element you will use as a base and thus which fluid you will start in with silica and carbon being the options with carbon staring in water and silica starting in pentane
use this template to describe your organisms to the best of your ability
[color=]base element:[/color] [color=red]common name:[/color] [color=orange]scientific name:[/color] [color=yellow]existing traits:[/color] [color=green]respiration methods:[/color] [color=blue]mutations:[/color] [color=purple]description:[/color] [color=red]current habitat(s):[/color] [color=orange]new habitat:[/color]
it should start as this(fill in the blank spaces with what you want them to be)
base element:
common name: (PLAYER#) organism
scientific name: Primium Thrivium
existing traits: RNA duplicase, monolayer bilipid membrane
respiration methods: ion gradient
mutations:
description: an extremely simple protocell containing nothing but a single RNA replicase
current habitat(s): hydrothermal vents
new habitat:
information storage molecule: RNA
you may only have 2 mutations per round at the start of the game with certain traits increasing this limit like making your genes swap places or having multiple sets of your genome to sandbox with
these will be what is used to determine the outcome of your changes
mutations:
1 = 1. mutation with the opposite effect than what you wanted.
2 = 1. what you wanted but with a BIG detriment.
3 = you get a useless structure that looks like what you wanted.
4 = what you wanted.
5 = what you wanted but better.
6= what you wanted but even better
patch moves
1 = 1. You lose 50-100 pop in your current patch depending on your species move speed higher speed = lower pop loss
2 = 1. You move to your desired patch but you lose 5-50 pop in your previous patch
3 = 1. you lose 1 pop
4 = 1. You move to your desired patch
5 = You move to your desired patch + another randomly selected patch
6 = you move to your desired patch + 2 patches i select based on your dependencies and resistances.
castes, specializations, and modules:
1 = opposite of what you wanted
2 = -1 pop
3 = nothing happens
4 = what you wanted
5 = what you wanted but 2* better
6 = what you wanted but 4* better
1 = digested+ 3 pop
2 = digested + 5 pop
3 = digested but you get some of it’s genetic information into your genome +8 pop
4 = not digested and you get the organism staying in your organism
5 = digested but you get all the genetic information it has incorperated into your genome and thus can produce it and discard any non functional organelles of it’s species +8 pop
6 = you ingest several in a row and a few survive but the ones that didn’t have relinquished all of their genetic information to you + 20 pop
behavior: no dice chart for this you just get exactly what you want
a nucleus protects your genome so if you have one you get advantage on all mutation rolls for every layer you have of it.
you are able to move organelles between your nucleus and the rest of your cell, get rid of your nucleus, and get rid of the rest of your cell.
each round consists of 2 parts. these are the the editor round and the RPG round.
this is what determines the outcome of what you do in the second half of the round
ACTIONS:
1= you fail horribly
2= you fail badly
3= you fail but nothing else happens
4= you barely succeed
5= you succeed exactly as well as you thought you would
6= you succeed better than you thought you would
STARTING ROCK
type: moon
orbiting: gas giant that is almost a star
starting atmosphere: 90% nitrogen, 0% CO2 0% O2 5% argon 5% SiH2
starting patches:
the core: void(you must be able to break bedrock to get here),
near mantle: superheated magma, brimstone caves,
abyssopelagic: abyssal ocean, abyssal seafloor, abyssal hydrothermal vents, abyssopelagic caverns
bathypelagic: bathypelagic ocean, bathypelagic seafloor, bathypelagic vents, bathypelagic caverns
mesopelagic: mesopelagic ocean, mesopelagic seafloor, mesopelagic vents, mesopelagic caverns
epipelagic: epipelagic oceans, epipelagic seafloor, epipelagic vents, epipelagic caverns, great lakes, ponds, pretty much any body of water that goes deeper than sea level on the surface, estuaries, coastal, etc.
surface: desert, beach, cave, mountain, glacier, north pole, south pole, floating sea rock, island, plateau, ravine, holes to bedrock made by a gamma ray burst eliminating all the life on your planet that also happened to vaporize a lot of rock on opposite sides of the planet, etc.
skies: low atmosphere, high atmosphere
space: low lunar orbit, medium lunar orbit, high lunar orbit, the rest of the solar system
NEIGBORING ROCK
type: moon
orbiting: gas giant that is almost a star
characteristics: always near your starting rock but not orbiting it, deep red oceans made of ammonia, high pressure atmosphere with no oxygen, lots of volcanic activity, more will be revealed with technological advancements through technological or biological evolution.
