i almost forgot to mention that there are no extremely deep oceans due to both temperature and pressure, but mostly just the fact that the water has sulfuric acid in it, that does mean though, that there will be easy ways to see if metal is near with seawater
Forum isn’t about getting badges.
ROUND 1
you spawn in as about 100 simple proto-cells, able to feel their DNA replicating and control how it replicates, preventing and\or adding errors as you please, though you can’t feel much else about them except the fact that they are under enough pressure to crush you in an instant had you gone here without spawning in through ascension. you can still think the same as you could before you ascended, which is weird because you now lack specialized cells, especially brain cells. you can tell that there is light but not what kind, though you can tell what kinds there aren’t, those being UV and gamma. if you hadn’t personally felt those in your past life that might have not been the case though.
despite your species having known absolutely nothing about what happened after ascension before you ascended, you know know something that would seem impossible to even your species’ most gullible people before you ascended; if a species controlled by an ascended soul is made extinct by another ascended soul, both souls fuse together and combine all of their information not related to personality and any perks both of them had before they fused get upgraded, during this process the personalities are kept separate so the souls may split when they are ready, though if one gives up all of its information is assimilated into the other, however if an ascended soul gives up afterwards, all its ascension points and perks will be given to the player who last made it extinct, if an ascended soul gives up before being fused with another ascended soul it will shatter into soul shards giving anything that absorbs them godlike powers and perks the soul once had, if a being collects enough of these shards instead of dying it will reincarnate as an entire species, if it is not created by an ascended soul already, in the case that an ascended soul finds all of the soul shards it will transfer all the perks the soul that gave up had to its own soul having the same effect as making another species controlled by an ascended soul extinct but without the addition of a species splitting off due to the absorbed soul needing to control its own species

every single way to get ascension perks
- use ascension points
- level a kleptogenesis part to lvl 10 or higher and steal the perk from one member of a species[7]
- make a species extinct to absorb its soul and let the soul split off and make its own species[8]
- absorb soul shards made when an ascended soul that has never been made extinct by another ascended soul gives up
- go extinct 3 times in a row due to a specific element or combination of elements[9], [10], getting all of the elemental phoenix perks will give you something very special, there are at least 22 elemental phoenix perks so it will take at least 66 rounds to do, and adding in the fact you need to be able to survive after you get them all it’s more like 66 plus 12 in between every set of three extinctions assuming an extinction event happens every 15 rounds

mutation partially failed, you need to be big enough to contain flat membranes to have a proper thylakoid, thus you are instead getting a vacuole full of chlorophyll ↩︎
depth: 0m, pressure: 100 bar, light: 80%, temp: 32C ↩︎
depth: 50m, pressure: 105 bar, light: 58%, temp: 48C ↩︎

depth: 0-5m, pressure: 110 bar, light: 75%, temp: 90C ↩︎
this only lasts one generation if the member of the species that took it fails to reproduce or does not incorperate the perk into its genome and the soul it came from ↩︎
if a species has the phoenix perk and you make it extinct its soul will fuse with yours and then split off and revive its own species without giving you the phoenix perk ↩︎
water, earth, fire, and air elements, not periodic table elements ↩︎
unlocks elemental phoenix perks, for example, if you go extinct 3 times in a row due to being crushed by metal or hunted to extinction with metal anything you will get the (not so) secret (anymore) perk called metal phoenix which gives you the ability to turn your body into metal when in danger with the ability to melt around wounds and manipulate the molten metal to remove the wound before turning back into flesh, it also lets you incorperate metals into your body while in metal mode or forge your limbs into weapons and simply melt them back into limbs when they break, you cannot die of blood loss in metal mode meaning you can weld your limbs onto someone else if both of you are in metal mode, this includes the head if you have formed one, and if you die with this perk you will melt into a puddle and respawn at the earliest stage you can survive on your own at(can be prevented with water), these are in addition to the non fire-related parts of the base phoenix perk. extinctions reversed by the base phoenix perk count towards getting an elemental phoenix perk, having the base phoenix perk before getting an elemental phoenix perk will make the elemental part of the phoenix more powerful due to a lack of needing to add magic that reverts death ↩︎

Mutation: Size increase.
Action: Focus on reproduction.
I shall name my species Ascendentes solis (ascendants of the sun)
based on what you named your species i have the perfect secret perk for you
mutation: lipogenesis proteins
action: photosynthesize some lipids to remove the inorganic from my lipid membrane
M: Nitrogen Fixation
A: Eat the sunlight
mutation: significantly more thermosynthase, arranged in a ring around an as of yet “empty” space (unspecialized cytoplasm)
action: spread throughout the cave
it’s not just unpecialized, it’s basically just water
that’s what cytoplasm is
normally cytoplasm has lots of complex things like proteins, specialized RNA, and organelles in it even when unspecialized, the starting cytoplasm is just slightly ionized water with nothing else in it but nucleotides, sugars, and a single strand of extremely unspecialized RNA, so it’s far closer to just sea water but a bit more ionized than it is to regular cytoplasm, especially with the almost complete lack of metabolic patterns.
mutation: movement cilia
action: head toward food
mutation: Chemosynthesizing proteins?
action: find random rna? if not find food
that great start, i think
m: Double layer of membrane
a: Focusing on establishing my position in the niche
Mutation: Jet Vacuoles
Action: Consume organic compounds on the sea floor
I am gonna join
Moon gravity
Phoenix
Extreme cold/heat tolerance
Apilimus Yusil
M: Chemosythesizing proteins.
A: Defend the population.
Edit: I didn’t read the moon gravity thing now I am gonna experiance venus gravity (normal)
Edit 2: I got bored from survival in the forums because doom didn’t mutate right away.
