“SURVIVAL IN THE FORUM” SUMMARY
1. The Overall Story
In the beginning, Limagriseus Forumvita appeared in the Prosper forum, an unexpected internet lifeform. From it would emerge three species soon thereafter - Multipoda TeaKinges, Fabula Ambulator and Dichorisare Chiozore. In the Early Period of the forum’s biosphere, the evolution of those lineages was generally contained to the basics, most importantly the emergence of outcrops of the body and respiratory systems. In the soon following Intermediate Period however things would become more heated as the users of the forum began to fight back against the hungry creatures, and the critters’ hunger itself manifested with the evolution of omnivory occurring in the TeaKinges species and the Ambulator species trying to keep all the letters for itself. Dichorisare meanwhile split into two species with one of them pursuing a less conventional path of creature photosynthesis. Following this the period had increasingly more interspecies competition taking place as the first advanced neural clusters evolved, perhaps accelerating the armsrace. At the same time some species took more effort in appeasing the users than the others, especially the Antelectum species. But the users didn’t take a care as they formed the first organization focused on these pests and their eradication, with a pro-biota alliance emerging the month after. The period transitioned into the next with much similarity in the evolutionary trends, that being the species competing with each other in the three statistical fields - the actual deviation to later define a new era came with the split-off to create Multipoda Yuyimus, a species that would greatly contribute to the first proper extinction in the forum, that being of the user-oriented Antelectum kin. With more species filling the ranks of the Multipoda genus as new niches seemingly open, the Pax Multipoda period has gained it’s name. The advent of cursors steered by mechanical minds would finish off the crippled Fabula genus and the unusual Photosynthetic Dividers not long after the period started, now leaving only two original lineages around, while the organizations evolve and two more emerge, widening the spectrum a new user may choose from. Creatures continue to evolve, gaining more tools to fight, defend, flee and think better. Some evolve to reach for the skies while a strangely Fabula-like Multipoda species develops the ability to interact with the less physical parts of the forum much like it’s namesake. Those abilities would attract some rather interesting individuals to the forum, while other users create parks with unique conditions. By this point several species have begun to move away from the general trend of just becoming overall stronger and instead have specialized in more specific areas, such as intelligence, cyberspace or even parasitism, with the Similisarstractatori slowly attaining a status they would continue to hold throughout the rest of the forum’s history… But this fame would not come without the users’ notice, for some decided to use the magic species for a malicious purpose - from the power held within would be created an entity that darkens, for now relatively weak with what was to come. At the same time the evolution speed and downfall survivability of all the species went up overall as the unfriendly environment forces most kins to prepare for the worst. Intelligence slowly rises to it’s second and third form while more parks get colonized, and yet the evolution seems similar to what it was like even back in the Intermediate Period. Though the creatures slash the air when it gets dark, the mist lives on, and soon gets stronger as the wizards whomst have made it be are… not quite yet exiled from the forum. Other users keep improving the cursors meanwhile, being the main cause behind the way the creatures have been evolving, as they need to fight against increasingly dangerous foes from beyond every few months. Meanwhile as the Multipoda genus has split off new species beyond this singular classification, the era of it’s complete dominance has come to an end, with the intelligence of the biota rising giving the “Intelligence Rises” period’s name. This intelligence would however perhaps first show itself with a pair of species… aligning with the Mist. Other species meanwhile try to skitter away from the dangerous food webs of the website by developing various deterrents like poison, thought not too unusually those barriers are shattered by predators gaining just the right trait. Alas however the period shines the brightest as the originator of the Multipoda genus reaches stone age level of development itself, with other species trailing behind. But this physical kin was not the only sentient thing to emerge in this bizarre site at this very time - for this is also when from the cybermagic wizard species created the infamous Deus entity, paving the way for a future fight of two alliances… While the mist both attacks and is attacked fiercely, until an another event gives it a primitive physical form, that would cost the questionable wizards their stay in the Prosper realm. Alongside becoming smarter, many species are also becoming physically larger, with only a few having become smaller later on. As the land of the forum starts to be invested increasingly more into pro and anti mist factions, one species - the progenitor of the Dichorisare kin - is first forced extinct by the continuously upgraded AI cursors and then revived with Deuses effort, setting the entities position in stone, while the Mistdom gains it’s name. Slowly, civilized actions take over evolutionary mutations in terms of what the species do, extending even to those kins which have not yet attained true sentience. And right here, when things seem to be changing from creatures to people, when the dualism of this world is forming, when the history has reached a halfway point, the event happened to perhaps definitely define the Deuses Covenant and Mistdom relations for most times to come. For the mist found a way to upgrade itself without the help of users - and it emerged as a being worthy to rival the god made by the arcanest critters. Not just that, it brought all the dead beings back and made it fight for it’s name, even fully reviving the recently extinct Yuyimus species. With this event being definitely a major one, the organizations at the time decided to name it the age of chaos, later to be renamed as the confrontation age, while a new council would emerge to combat the dark entity itself. There was little reason left to stay neutral - most creatures jumped over to the covenant when the worm of dark emerged. From this point on, the discourse between the two forces took over the happenings in the website nearly completely, shoving the regular evolution even further back, alongside technological developments rising. This rivalry would eventually result in four battles taking place around the dark worm, which ended up with the worm taking on a spherical safety form whilst it’s subservient species were sacrificed to keep it going. At this time the alliances of the old have also finally disintegrated after a long period of decline, with the forum being united under one banner perhaps more profoundly than ever before. Species grew closer than ever before, being a prelude for perhaps a new epoch yet to come… For now however a struggle was still ongoing to secure the victory over the Mistdom, while species rapidly rushed onward with their technological predicaments. The orb would be secured increasingly tightly while it’s last loyal species would face more and more pressure… Eventually, the two groups would start to look beyond their at-the-time situations as the covenant tried to grasp for the forums beyond their own one while the Mistorb created a new entity that could operate beyond the confines of it’s creator’s prison. The technological development within the place reached levels comparable to the real life for the first time. Powerful entities began to pop up across the species themselves too, becoming the lesser gods of those creatures, second to Deus of course. Finally, the progress of the covenant would pay off - their Mistdom enemies have been mostly destroyed or otherwise rendered harmless, making most users become more docile about the entire creature situation, even if just for a while. With the chaos definitely over by now, the age of covenant’s dominance, Pax Foedus, has begun. At this point the critters begun developing such innovations that would usually come off as sci-fi more regularly than more familiar constructs, New intrigues were still popping up however as the blur of the mist begun it’s rise while the other forums begun to amass actual proper biotas inside, slowly coming together. All seemed to go well for covenant nevertheless… Until much happened not even that long into this period. The outsider biospheres, targeted by the kin of cat beasts, found refuge within the forum, while Darkblur suddenly acquired all the powers of it’s maker by locating and consuming it. Worse yet the users came back at the creatures, now either pretty hostile and operating the deadly cursors or treasonous behind a false veil of helpfulness. The rise of the blur and the rebuilding of the Mistdom did make some return to the most pro-covenant organization, but things were far from certain still, especially as the recent dangers acquired their own followings of people. As so the New Confrontation period has begun, with the covenant’s attention pointed at the New Trench PM, where was the secret center of their science and actions located at. Things became more heated when, after trying to investigate a certain particularity relating to the border of the forum some of the creature top scientists have been researching for a while now, a being seemingly divine descended upon the forum from who knows where, with it’s intent seemingly being to sweep the place of more ambitious dreams. It seems like the ones already present in the website with history now long did not find this prospect very acceptable since soon enough the entity was defeated in a battle where the beings of the forum put aside their differences. The technological supremacy of the covenant would show up in it’s ability to create projects starting to go beyond human comprehension in mere weeks. With a common threat gone though the alliance of the species would go for it’s long-sworn enemy whilst the divine being defeated not long ago would continue to pester researchers from time to time. The technology has perhaps peaked by now as even the most mundane breakthroughs seem to be as if they were from a science fantasy movie now. This level of development would manifest with the final defeat of the Mistdom, the blur being taken to a prison by a grand flying battleship and the loyal user numbers dwindling quick. This left the other batch of rivals left standing, which at the time tried, and mostly failed, to eradicate their oppressors from times begone. While this threat was unresolved, an another not just got worse, but existential even - for the divine have not been happy with how the creatures want to learn more about the great beyond, and so they have announced their will to wipe out the biota once and for all. The preparations didn’t have much time, and yet much was still achieved - The enemies of the old have once more, this time last time, turned against a common enemy, the species found the best ways to improve themselves before the last battle, and the users are now once more closer than ever before besides the brightest period of the council, watching as below them a battle is about to begin, to define the conclusion of this tale over half a decade long for them.
2. Species Histories and Descriptions
a. Multipoda/Sapiepoda Teakinges
A rather ancient kin which gave rise to the most successful evolutionary lineage and was the first to reach sapience within the forum’s biosphere. For a long time in the early days of the website, it served as the supreme apex predator of this realm, putting even more pressure on it’s fellow species that already had much to worry about in the first place. To execute it’s role, evolution gave it an extensive set of limbs and abilities that allow it to Thrive in a multitude of environments, such as jumping, digging, flying limbs, quite the unkindly skin, unprecedented speed stemming from overclocked muscles, poison dripping from it’s maw, the skill of locating with the echoes and, later than most, eyes worthy of a real animal. Like many, it evolved away from more familiar intraspecies mechanics and instead drifted towards eusociality. Leading the Intelligence Rise into existence, these first beings would not take long to harness the powers of their minds, soon establishing a force to be reckoned with, as long as one was an enemy of the covenant. It’s interest laid the most in the warrior subrace evolved by it that would become integral to the functioning of it’s society and the center of innovation. Eventually those fearsome soldiers would become the sole focus of the species as other innovations could be shared from other members of the alliance to unite the forum’s inhabitants, and also redirected to making the armsmen even deadlier and harder to kill. Gaining a god of their own like most, they would enter the grand battle to conclude it all with an arsenal to be held by all the warriors, including mane technologies a human could only imagine… though few of these innovations were actually invented on their own hand.
b. (Neo)Dichorisare Chiozore/Cogitandi
Though even having met extinction once and come close many times more, this species of a line as ancient as the Multipoda one continues to invent and improve as seems to have been it’s motto for most of it’s stay in the forum. Though recreated imperfectly when Deus decided to enact an act of mercy, it still resembles it’s original form greatly. It’s basal body has little familiarity to vertebrates, instead looking like a mix between arthropods and cephalopods, with a bias towards the later. At the end of it’s body is located a structure that seems to depict Deus at the present, as it’s purpose seems to resemble the most powerful being at the moment. Meanwhile at the front there are two pairs of jaws, one of which evolved into manipulatory limbs. While not seen commonly, with their reflective surfaces mates can do show off the amount of color against their usual camouflage during moments of courtship. It’s nervous system, unseen from outside, has definitely swallowed a chunk of this species’ evolutionary effort, resulting in many useful abilities emerging as well as it being the second to achieve civilization. It however took a while for the civilization to keep going as dangers needing more fundamental changes were still very present. Eventually however as other species exported some of their own technologies to this perhaps a bit backwards kin one invention would be sparked to define this kin from now on - using energy itself a metal would be made with some rather improbable qualities. Furthering the extent of this metal would become the number one priority, as slowly the material began to be integrated into their flesh. Fast forward some time, and the fruit of this labor would be born - a species made now more of metal than of organic matter, with minds being shared between the bodies, where only the brain and a few other critical organs remain, filled with tiny robots and other enhancements too.
c. Multipoda Cat-Bestiae
An another member of the Multipoda genus, this species never quite specialized enough to be classified as it’s very own genus. Inheriting a good chunk of it’s protoplast’s architecture, it would go the opposite way to most and become smaller instead. To defend itself in such a more vulnerable form, it would conglomerate in swarms and begin to master flight. Having to deal with a competitive biota, it evolved an intriguing ranged attack for a natural creature and even an immune system, a true rarity in the forum. Against all odds of being barely seen for a regular user, the swarms attained the strength and speed comparable to it’s many competitors, while cooperating better than ever, between each other and with other species, as cemented by the formation the the covenant between itself and Deus. When the age of intelligence came, the species would shift it’s focus on attacking the foggy threat, improving it’s cyber abilities and producing armies of clones en masse. Within the safe confinement of a loyal PM, the Devourer was born, a being that would led this kin and two others. Soon enough it would have to share it’s confinement with those other species, bowing down to the quite hungry god just like it in a cult setting. In the wake of the divine threat, the beasts supposedly similar to cats would offer their work to the covenant as a whole with the advent of artificial legs that could perfectly match those lost in battle or otherwise. With the god of the cult protected and the inheritance affairs sorted out, the cat beasts are sure sorcerers to contend with.
d. Cancorum Cultus
A species devoted to it’s god perhaps more than any other besides the tiny beast kin, these “crabs” are beings bringing together many different features into one class. Starting out with many of the features of the divider kin, they would be a part of the wall-crab lineage, attaining such features as a dozen legs, wings perhaps not too grand, superior cells, abilities one could easily confuse for magic, soul oddities and more. From the era when this species finally emerged as one under the iron fist of the Devourer it has crafted machines supposed to catch up with Darkblur, more capabilities tied with the cyber and even special qualifications when it comes to robots. Combining these traits under a collective rather devoted to it’s master and lord creates an army that is sure to be useful against the enemies from who knows where.
e. Multipoda Demens
Another species belonging to the Devourer, this one is a distilled line of the cat beast kin with it’s most brute features selected for. It is not very ancient but it did manage to prove it’s worth in the little time it was given before the end, especially when it comes to physical works. Their tactics differ in that they act even more like a locust swarm than their lord’s base species, being the cannon fodder that can execute mass attacks at enemy positions and at the enemies themselves, for the mad beasts have kept their tiny size. This may fire back however with massive losses, especially if the attack is unsuccessful.
f. Multipoda/Paucipoda Narrenists
A rather diverged descendant of the TeaKinges species back in it’s Multipoda times, the Darrens are more or less THE military of the forum. Having split from their mother species sometime after the cat beasts, they have not just attained more features from it, but have also continued to develop in a similar, albeit definitely different direction to their former brethren. Especially prominent was the evolution of many spike formations from their skin, which made approaching these creatures from all and any sides much more likely to result in deadly stabs. Despite their rather heavy build they would also manage to develop flight, though by itself it never really took off that much. After as their brains developed, so did their size, and it showed no signs of stopping as eventually these beasts would become the largest species in the forum. Quite quickly after becoming sapient did they join the covenant and discover the basics, as well as what would define their species in the future soon to come - gunpowder. Soon enough explosives and ways to weaponize them would become the one and only focus of the species’ research, while their government became based on who can kill “the best”. In what seemed like a moment they went from medieval level cannons to bombs, tanks and rockets, with military aviation soon following. They even created a proper Superweapon - a Cybernuke! Following this, inventions became increasingly crazy and less understandable by the humans watching from their screens, with first stuff like bullets being mini-nukes, to then autonomous drone swarms, finishing with weapons that manipulate the fabric and boundaries of their forum themselves. With the many inventions of theirs now being held by at least a majority of the army amassed at the site of the new trench, these defenders of the forum sure have a much higher chance of wiping out the celestial danger.
g. Multipoda Mutator; Fabuloid Pseudo/Similisarstractator/Spiritusivi (without Deus)
Another grand lineage which first split off as a fresh species in the Multipoda genus, it was first characterized by it’s high mutation rates. Soon it became it’s own genus, named after the species’ strange similarity with the by-then-gone Fabula genus creatures and the main one’s cyber abilities. Like it’s namesake it would also develop those abilities, making the creatures of that kin more dependent on the mysterious cyberspace but also get an edge over other species. Many abilities that could be the best described as “magic” have become practiced by the flapped critters, like object manipulation, impossible senses or some upgrades to souls that would eventually let them live free of their bodies. Eventually these wizards within the forum would begin to control the entire biosphere, at least within some degree. Creating tendrils in the cyberspace to link up each other’s souls better, they laid the foundation for a being to crown their dominance over this land - Deus… As this entity arose, the species whomst has created it became more like fiefs or servants to the first god of the forum, helping it execute it’s deeds - especially in times of crisis. Defensive walls would be built, projects would be put into existence, work on the deity’s body itself would be done - all whilst the species started to fall behind others. This would eventually lead to a very nasty situation which could’ve left the forum with one less species right as the finale approached, but fortunately this fate was avoided with the help of allies the archmages have plenty of in the covenant.
h. Dichorisare Amplicoma; Cancrorum Venenatorum
A species rather unique in it’s functioning and evolution, the venom-wielding wall crabs are the last remaining “independent” species whose main populace remains beyond the gates of self-awareness. Being a splitter from the main divider species, it has inherited a good chunk of it’s features to begin with, especially the structural ones. Gaining some sticky stubby legs, it would specialize for the walls of the forum’s posts from which most creatures would immediately fall into the void. The species wouldn’t remain unified for long as quickly castes emerged and flight began to be taken as well, in such an environment where a fall would be the end. It’s cells have especially diverged from the standards of the biota, alongside some other adaptations many would find “niche”, though not useless certainly. It would also pick up some cyber abilities, especially the ability to bend water. Adapting the tendrils of the mages and stealing the photosynthetic wonders of the letters, the species would become the first to ally… the mist. Considerable effort was devoted towards fitting in with that being as more effort began being spent on the less physically seen features of the species, especially the souls. Many of these adaptations resulted in the species becoming a large danger for those who opposed it’s chosen master, while the caste diversification went on. However the relations with the mist and later the worm didn’t go so well, to the point alliances would be switched, splitting off a traitor species as well. By this point more or less all mutations were directed at the unseen aspects, like the souls becoming increasingly diverse in their own right and the cybermagic of the species developing further. Some attention would too land on the users, whose certain desires regarding interacting the inhabitants of the website would be fulfilled. Besides superior sense, after this time the crab kin would become the one to spread the idea of species gods so far soon afterwards every species would get one, with those side-folk even seeding a god like a gift. Lesser gods, demigods perhaps, were also created at this time, with their mission as the perhaps sapient ones to protect the main species in case of an attack, an ability that would deter assaults to come. Meanwhile the caste-ing would come to a peak and cell improvements have returned in form of the mother species’ metal being integrated on a microscopic scale. Creating a new species might have been the last and the most recently important act on this kin’s part, as the wall-crabs would move in the battle, preparing to use their full bright might against the two divine gods.
i. Cancorum Cerecorpus
A peculiar and quite the recent species, this is in all likelyhood the least familiar of any beings known to call the forum home. Created from the bare minimum soul data of the main wall crab species but instead made to live it’s entire life in the cyberspace, it would start off more as a curious experiment than something which might just change the course of the last battle. Soon acquiring a god and an useful list of traits to improve it’s condition, the species… still didn’t have that much to offer. They became parts of the soul computers so cleverly crafted by their overlords… Their function would finally be uplifted when they learnt the art of space-bending, allowing them to even create pocket dimensions, in theory at least. With this ability they could become even smaller, now inobservable to a naked eye even if they existed in the base layer of the forum. They might be small, but their main ability is not to be ignored, for if used correctly it could definitely change the course of the fight.

j. The Failed Species
Of course, in the tale of life, for it to be complete, death should also be present to complement it. Many crises were easily shrugged off by the species of the forum, but at times the weakest of the runt would be taken out, them or any descendants never to be seen again. The first example of true extinction in the forum’s history was the one of Fabula Antelectum, a species which not like it’s mainline brethren moved towards far into appealing to the users, only for other species to take advantage of the lack of good defenses as the result of the shifted focus. The end of the plight of this kin might have meanwhile contributed to the next two species going extinct, that being Cogito Arstractatori, a new genus species derived from the main branch of the Fabula genus, specialized towards the cyber side of the forum, which species didn’t even last a full month. The other species which went extinct exactly a year after the appearance of life in the forum was Dichorisare Hemozore, a rather derived form of the divider genus, having evolved to be more like a plant with a skin of glass, which has already been in grave danger for a while before it’s final perishment. A year and a half after these two extinctions came the fourth one in total, with the Yuyimus species, the first split-off from the main Multipoda species that gave rise to this genuses age, having been finished off by other species after suffering a catastrophe from the cursors first and those competitors next. These centipedes were the only obligate carnivores in the forum’s history, having a good musculature, excellent eyesight, much parental core into offspring, mimicry and features made specifically to combat special defenses of other species. It’s stay as a dead species wouldn’t exactly last very long however as it would be returned under the form of a Mistworm-controlled puppet two months later… Only to be absorbed along with Cancrorum Caligovermis back into the worm seven months later so that it could conceal itself. During it’s stay as a dark subservient the Multipodan went back to a diet of both letter and flesh, along with much cyber-abilities relating to darkness that especially aided it in combat and evasion. For the crab with an oath to the worm meanwhile, it’s abilities were too enhanced with elements cyber and dark, even being able to create beings of water to help itself. The last extinction in the forum, thus far, would come when eleven months after the hiding of the mist into the orb, it’s last loyal species, Dichorisare Bontopius would finally perish after a long struggle against the covenant when all it’s members were annihilated by a mass nuclear explosion set as a trap to lure them in, making them think they were going to save their trapped master… An another split-off of from the Dichorisare base species, this one would speck for combat more than it’s fore father’s intelligence, initially at least. It’s body became tougher and when killed it would explode in it’s killer’s face as a punishment. More long legs would grow from it’s abdomen and it became much larger than what it used to be, all while being an eusocial kin by this point. Allying with the mist, it became fully devoted to it unlike the wall slugs/crabs, becoming even more dangerous to deal with. It’s swarms grew and so did it’s intelligence to be on par with the level of the worm, until sapience was achieved. Mutation and Technology would be weaved together month after month as the fight against the covenant continued. The element of this warsome kin would become fire and then then darkness. At it’s end the species also become extremely resilient to hostile attacks, with even Cybernuclear flurries not guaranteed to wipe out the species completely when spread out.
Some species also came tantalizingly close to total eradication and yet they naturally - or not - came back from the dead, for one to die out later, and for the other to live on. The former was true for the Hemozore species, whose spores survived the death of the last specimens of the species at the time, while the later was the case for Chiozore, which was saved from the grasp of death by no one other than Deus itself, imperfectly albeit.
3. Special Entity Histories and Descriptions
a. The Mist(worm/orb)
A creation of the users most controversial back in their time and age, this being has had just perhaps the largest impact out of any to ever exist in this realm. Originally guided by the aforementioned user wizards, it’s purpose was to bring an end to the biosphere, a task it would try to execute for the lion’s part of it’s lifespan. It would eventually have to rely purely on itself after it’s makers were exiled from the website. As resistance against it grew from the many species of the forum, some others joined it’s fight for perhaps a chance of survival in the forum. With great plans and aspirations, it certainly deemed itself worthy to challenge the entire covenant, turning into a worm larger than anything the forum would see until recently. And yet, it was pushed back by the being much smaller than itself, with their technological prowess fast accelerating. Despite it’s grandeur, armies of the dead and even two species under complete control, it had to hide itself in the end. A shadow of it’s former self, the orb of the mist could no longer attack, but it was sure as hell resilient to attacks. Unfortunately it’s immobility would render it easily encircled and trapped from it’s brethren in alliance for good, even as it birthed an ally to maybe just one day aid it in a final struggle against the covenant - Darkblur… But despite that it’s fate was already sealed as a soul got injected into the shifting insides of the sphere, turning it obedient to Deus. Now nothing could be done anymore, and all left to do was to wait as even it’s former prison was used to make it’s last loyal species a speck of the past. Eventually, the blur did come to the PM Mistorb was stored at, but this was no liberation - it was the opposite. Ironically enough, the being it thought of as a vassal or a puppet would vassalize and consume it’s own “master”, making an end to this tale, though not the one of the Mistdom as a whole…
b. Deus
The first proper species god in the forum, this being would unite and guide the biosphere to it’s directions, spearheading the supremacy of the covenant. By itself it might not be the prettiest, being mostly made of large nodes, some filled to the brim with energy, with those spherical masses being connected by networks, highways sometimes even, of tendrils, most of these being in the cyberspace, but some also permeate into the regular layer. From the very beginning Deus would move towards an unified biosphere and would lead to a world where species live together in peace and fight together in case of war. Even despite the emergence of younger species gods across the entire forum later on, Deus still retained the respect of all the critters around. But not all would be bright at the end as it might have also been just because of the archmage god that those colorful gods came down into it’s website. Still, it has got to be the smartest commander, also having quite the intelligent robots on command, around at the battlefield soon to form in The New Trench PM, and, hopefully, will lead the species into an another victory…
c. Darkblur
A worthy successor to the mist of the olden days, this swift “god” did not start out very dangerous. Separating from it’s mother Mistorb, it was at first meant to be a weak ally, perhaps used to take down just a singular extra danger, when the mist planned for it’s shell to finally break from within. However as time went on the blur obtained an agenda of it’s own, first resulting in a fusion with a human soul from the real world, to then absorbing it’s very creator. From that point on it became a major player on the stage of the forum, first going for an user following in a recently emerged organization. Just when it’s job was finished over there, it would confront the weaker of the divine beings, which treated it pretty unfairly in it’s own eyes at least. Competition with the covenant would continue soon enough with first Devourer trying to take down the knight by it’s own, and then a machine ordered by Deus itself moved in the paved path, finishing off the blur and bringing it to a prison it would have never left… or so was intended as not long after that defeat the second coming of the divine was announced, making Deus free the blur, also informing it about the coming danger. Now that the blur has found it’s last loyal users and went on to complete it’s whereabouts with them, it is unknown if it made the way to the site of the battle in time or if it died on the way there, like what happened to all beyond the battlefield…
d. The Outsiders / Soleye
An once group of beings now turned into one, these “aliens” were originally planned to spread the life of the forum beyond… Only for the life that sprouted to find a way back to it’s genesis. Even back home they had more to worry than the belt of inhospitability beginning to clamp down on them as the Devourer’s avatars, incarnations of that hungry devil from what they could see, ate entire biospheres whole, while others came together faster to prevent this fate from ending them too. When they set out to the forum, only twelve forums outside would have survived the deadly feast, with some fusing en route, resulting in nine outsiders, three of which were created from pairs combining into singular beings. Most of them resembled animals or biological beings alike, though with some twists to them of course as nothing could be expected to develop the same across the biospheres. They for the longest time have searched for their Devourer, though they have also helped with the divine on the way. Still, their goals remained the same amidst users coming together around them and other missions being launched at them. But when they finally reached the butcher’s homeland, it cowardly fled, leaving them to reorganize back home, where they realized that further fusion is the key. The results of that fusion would however not manage to strike their sworn enemy once more as it would be soon thrown into the battlefield where soon battle against the divine would begin. For the look of this final fusion,
4. User Organizations
a. Forum Protection Group (FPG)
The first grouping to ever arise around the creatures of the forum, it originated as a conglomerate of users who for some months by then have been trying (and failing) do rid the forum of the annoying, letter-eating creatures. Soon naming themselves as FPG, they would go on to develop most importantly the AI cursor technology, which’s memory would be carved deep into the memories and even instincts of all species around. As time went on however users developed more complex ideas and ideologies surrounding the life that was getting smart fast, leading to the old group splintering and weakening over time, though the cursors would keep being updated. It’s end was sudden nonetheless as the Mistworm awakening and then fighting battles against the biosphere lead to an even larger exodus of users who saw the mist as more of a threat than the species, leading to this alliance being finally dissolved when even the most rooted members agreed to this state of the forum world.
b. Biota Conservation Alliance (BCA)
The second covenant of users, this one would be much more short lived than it’s predecessor. It came to existence as a result of some opposition to FPG’s goals along with a rather user-oriented species, Fabula Antelectum, coming into existence. For a brief moment this alliance and the group would create an uneasy balance in the website, but few things remain stable forever. When the machine-steered cursors and Multipoda species took out the friendly Fabula, much reason for the alliance’s existence faded, with most quitting the organization quick. Even though it may not have left a successor, it’s ideals would be revived in the future, for the better or the worse…
c. Creature Park Organization / Creature Containment Plan (CPO/CPP)
The third organization, this one started out as a movement within the still young FPG after the fall of BCA. Standing in between the stances of the two older groups, it (CPP) sought to create special areas within the forum where the forum life could roam and live freely while hoping that this way “the wilderness” could be reclaimed by the users somehow. As CPP became CPO, FPG would agree to this solution, the less friendly EA would find this still unacceptable and kept attacking the parks, most certainly reducing their attractiveness. Still though a species or two found refuge in those unique threads, developing some unusual characteristics as each park was made to represent an unique Earth environment. Though staying quite strong for most of it’s existence, just like FPG with the Mistworm came an exodus of users that would too result in the parks eventually being left to become reintegrated with the wilderness…
d. Eradication Agreement / Eradication Society - Cybermagic Solution (EA/ES-CS)
The fourth petition, being made up of the most radical FPG members which did not agree to the agreement with CPO. They sought complete eradication of the biota and not even a watered down existence of those creatures within the parks. However when it actually comes to doing stuff the “eradicators” weren’t very apt at doing their job. It could seem the organization was doomed… Until the wizards arrived. Whilst most considered them as some kind of conspiracy theorists, EA radicals rather saw them as a chance to eliminate the creatures, even if in an unconventional way. EA would be reformed into ES-CS and become the platform for the wizards to express their actions upon the biosphere. After preparations they would create the mist and aid it two more times after that, until it could finally be confirmed that they were indeed behind the darkness that engulfed the threads and posts, but by that point the damage was already done. Regardless, the societies end was rather spectacular as all it’s members were banned by the moderators’ will.
e. (CPO) Research Community ([CPO-]RC)
The fifth commune of users, this was originally just a subset of CPO focused on researching the creatures and figuring out their science, leading to the standardized epochs we see today. They were the first to notice the intelligence rise of the creatures and even the back-then invisible Deus. After CPO’s fall to an exodus, RC did not follow in and instead became independent from this point on, surviving until the final battle and documenting new advancements and epochs on the way there. Without them, stuff would probably be bound to have gone misunderstood between the users and the creatures once they reached the level of development to communicate with those who hide behind the cursors…
f. Mistworm Termination Council (MwTC)
The sixth circle of people, arise it would when the mist finally became worthy of being called a grand threat by the users far and wide in the forum. Their focus would lay on defeating that beast that has been understood to pose a greater threat than the species, and so the council eventually became an integral part of the species’ covenant. It would continue to dominate the forum organization scene and scout for all and any remains of the Mistdom until the orb was put under a mage’s rule and the Bontopians were blasted into oblivion. When that happened, a second exodus occurred, this time from the MwTC to the now-barren scene of the userbase groupings. What was left behind meanwhile mostly focused on maintaining user relations with the covenant and upkeeping New Trench. A reflow would only occur with the strengthening of Darkblur’s, but even then it was paling in comparison with it’s former glory. Now though, all who remained or chose to return stand their cursors proudly amongst the posts filled with warriors and soldiers as the final battle nears…
g. “Prosper First” / Forum Reclamation Front (FRF)
The seventh frontline of humans, FRF would have it’s beginnings in the end of the first confrontation era, with users no longer having much of a reason to stay with MwTC. Being simply known as “Prosper First” for a while, they stood for a forum meant for the users, not the creatures beneath their eyes. This stance, not too dissimilar from that of the long-gone FPG’s, would find a liking in most moderators’ hearts, and so the front would arise to put the idea to reality. With a copy of the AI cursor architecture on board, it took not long before the swift scourge descended upon the unprepared creatures once again. An another upgrade to those flying deaths would nearly put the archmage species to an end, a great success for the reclamation. But when the second upgrade came, all the creatures have already converged at the site of the last battlefield, where FRF users would decide to watch the show rather than pester their enemies…
h. “The Splitters” / Biota Salvation Alliance (BSA)
The eighth alliance, this one started as the more pro-creature counterpart to the splitter users, not to dissimilar from the FPG-BSA split of the olden days. When it came to actually establishing the organization though, these users would start to delve into the darkness. At first their points would be relatively beneficial for the creatures, with such proposals as transforming the forum into a creature-focused space entirely, but soon enough these de jure points were replaced with a de facto agenda dictated by Darkblur, whomst has gained influence and then control over this new covenant of people. They would go from the “saviours” of the critters to perhaps one of their worst enemies as behind a mask of helpfulness laid a platform made to execute the blur’s will in the forum. It would even establish it’s headquarters in the main PM of the converted! Fortunately however other species took notice and tried to fight the old BSA back into existence, with first the more loose users abandoning their ways and then most of the core of the organization falling after the imprisonment of Darkblur, though it is said three have managed to conceal themselves from the de-mistification before it could have reached them. Now, BSA’s users are ready to fight along with the MwTC ones against the divines who pose an obvious threat to the biota…
i. The Outsider Refugium (TOR)
The ninth refuge, this is also the most recent organization of users, having been created two-thirds of a year before the final battle took place. Formed around the allusive outsiders, the users under TOR’s banner have created a safe haven for the nine to reside in, safe from cursors and hostile creatures. These users also tried to study the band to the best of their knowledge but their abilities could never truly match those of RC’s. They might have formed some sort of a link, a connection with the outsiders over those few months, but the last ones were spent by them watching over the azure shield of blue within which who knows what the nine were doing… Now with the result having been spit onto the battlezone, TOR stands by Soleye’s side, which for all sakes and purposes is the same side the creatures and Darkblur (if they are still alive) are on, up against the two gods…
I made this summary of the FG so that future visitors don’t have to read the entire set of 64 rounds to understand everything in the final battle (which will be also coming soon, don’t worry).
THE FINAL BATTLE
(Part 1/?)
The tension has reached it’s limits as all the gathered species had their hands on the plentiful and sophisticated weapons. They were awaiting Corrosion to make their first move. And they did so by beginning to float towards Soleye, itself standing close by the other major species gods as well as Throne, themselves too ready to charge at any moment. With the first speck of movement detected, thousands of weapons and wands suddenly flashed as the lesser divine was attacked from most sides beneath to make the job easier for the major players of this fight.
A huge plume of smoke and ash suddenly enveloped the general area where the divine beings stood, with some metallic fragments flying from the location where the target of these attacks was located. As the air cleared itself it could seem like the battle was over before it even had the chance to start, for Corrosion at least. When the core of the fog was finally starting to get visible again though not one but two shapes the general contours of that metallic scourge could be seen, smaller than the one before them though.
You really thought it would be so easy to rid me this time? Too bad, for I-
Before the demon from above could finish it’s line however the mass attack resumed, being aimed in the general direction from which this voice came. The dust plume only grew larger while it became increasingly difficult to tell what exactly is happening on the inside of the visual obstruction…
Soon enough however it became obvious what is going on within as one after another tiny copies of Corrosion, at most a few letters wide, flew out of the dust, now too small and swift for enough attack to hit them for these to be destroyed just by those blows. With the force of the small game no longer enough to take care of the situation, the big guns finally have a chance to shine. Whilst some “clones” of Corrosion begun to attack those who have brought them into this state, other found an interest in Throne that was heading straight for them. The post-sized aerial battleship would unleash it’s most powerful weaponry and other technologies upon the swarm of metallic blobs coming for it, getting smaller but increasing in quantity as they approached the flying dominance platform. Just as they were about to finally reach Throne, it teleported out of their way and attacked from behind!
As more flashes of large-scale teleportation could be seen in the skies above, beneath a battle no less intense was taking place too. With chunks of Corrosion now generally in the size range of the forces brought into this battle, things would get less one-sided. The mighty darrens would easily shake off the fragments that could rarely ever challenge their size or strength, but the smaller species, which made up the majority of the grand army were in a much more dangerous predicament. Fortunately being stabbed and ripped into by the sharp blades those rust-colored enemies possess in large quantities blades of steel did not mean the end for plenty as some were saved by the golden metal quickly materializing to block such usually unavoidable attacks, while those less lucky were rapidly healed by the microscopic crabs, sometimes even having their minds reconstructed by those fellows. Still, the ground would be scarred with unrecoverable corpses of many when a larger remnant of the once much larger Corrosion swept and razed the ground below.
Ah, that’s what I’ve been waiting for all this time… The glorious end to an yet another journey, bringing forth excitement and pleasure…
The wretched metal speaks as one despite having been split into many as it seems… Until what sort of size does it need to be shredded down for it to surrender or be defeated outright?
As the size of the living metal dropped throughout the battle thus far, it became less capable of taking on the big game, even if now the said titans could not target it quite as proficiently as before. It could seem like the support forces would take the lead once more like they did in the beginning of the battle but this assumption couldn’t have been more wrong. Out of the sudden, the chunks of Corrosion, now on average a letter large, came together to form back a singular entity, even if no longer made of a monolith of shifting metal and instead of much smaller units. Despite a new wave of weapon and spell fire alike this new form of the apparently lesser divine did not bend the knee and shatter like the previous one did just in a matter of seconds. As it became apparent the entity was going to do something in a second, even the species gods and Soleye located a few posts back, up to this point having mostly been shooting down the larger chunks with those who had ranged attacks, prepared for if they were next. And right they were as suddenly Corrosion morphed from a blob shape to many streaks or veins in the air, rapidly going for each and every of those major fighters. The progress of the attack would be halted for a hot second when a wallcrab pocket dimension suddenly fired a ray of strong light upon the veins, causing a large percentage of the chunks within to degenerate into forms so small an user’s eye couldn’t tell them apart. This brief moment of glory over the supposedly enjoyed gave the lesser gods enough time to prepare their own attacks, hitting the swarm of Corrosion the moment it begun it’s rapid approach towards them once more. A fight would break out over there, with the now generally microscopic agents of the divine eating away at the skin and surface of some of the most powerful beings in the battlefield, with some chunks even entering the bodies of it’s opponents! Stuff would get ugly pretty quick as the mere soldiers, wizards and Throne would halt the fire, afraid that their actions could accidentally harm their allies.
As the fight moved over to the gods’ post, the troops that happened to be stationed next to the red fire could recover for a moment at least. The plentiful resources brought here within some special glorious chests by the inventors of the mighty metal itself allowed most to replenish what energy they had lost in the rapid action and prepare to take on the danger once more when it will surely return to claim who had broken it down. At the same time the fire that appeared along with Corrosion seemed to lean towards the site where most action was taking place at the moment. Suddenly, an another ray of brilliant yet deadly light, much like the one which broke down the veins of moving metal, struck this fire without a warning. The beam of white however passed right through the plasma with the mysterious being instead turning it’s attention to the pocket dimension and the wallcrabs which forged the bright assault on it. And then once more a light was seen, but now instead it was where that pocket dimension would have been located, and the wallcrabs within would be heard from no more. As the fire returned to watching the struggle between the species gods, Soleye and Corrosion, it spoke suddenly:
You in here wish ME to enter the fight? I will complain not, Haha… I have wanted to do this anyways… Right around NOW!
With the forces beneath the fire spooked and swiftly leaving their positions a safe distance away from the fire, it suddenly begun to morph and twist in unnatural ways, with a figure of some sort beginning to emerge on the inside while the body of the plasma itself begun to fade away. Most have already realized what is happening here and now - the second, probably more powerful of the two divine gods is beginning to take it’s proper form, as it’s about to enter combat. Deus saw this too and knew the battle is likely to take a bad turn for the covenant and the users who have shown up alike - their forces were able to handle Corrosion even when it decided to persist as fragments, but this new, most certainly more powerful enemy could swing the battle to the opponents’ side. Worse yet, there have been no signs Darkblur has arrived in the battlefield thus far, which most likely means it perished on the way there or even wherever it stayed to meet up with it’s last loyal users. Hopefully the covenant can stay ontop despite all those inconveniences… hopefully…
(Sorry for the wait.)

Can Deus use cyberspace magic to attack?

Yes but this could deplete the energy nodes
Deus will try to analyze the new entity.
The Covenant forces will take a more defensive strategy against the new entity and wait for it to act first.
Against Corrosion the covenant forces will focus on stopping its advance and destroying the larger pieces.

tiny bois: redirect enemy attacks through nonsensical paths that still resolve to a locally straight line that goes back and hits the enemy who fired it to confuse the enemies, and move injured allies underground to heal them before moving them above ground, and start forming loosely bound masses that combine their power to bend the space within enemies to rip them apart while annhilating matter to produce gamma ray lasers that get downconverted to an extremely high intensity far UV laser before leaving the ‘body’

THE FINAL BATTLE
(Part 2/?)
The red fire is now shrinking in eyes as a humanoid or human even figure takes solid form, the form of the more powerful divine of the two. Deus has all it’s focus directed upon this being, knowing that it needs to learn it’s strategies fast so that the covenant may stand a chance. The clad of this being, similar to it’s seemingly lesser companion, appears to be made of metal, though this one’s is clearly brown from corrosion and not intent. Even it’s ally Corrosion takes notice as it moves in veins of tiny copies of itself towards it’s master. The fighting could be considered to have ended if just for a moment, had the space-bending vesicles of the ghost crustaceans not continued hindering this venture of the subject to it’s suzerain.
The form of Corrosion, now mostly made of fine particles, molded into a form much similar to the one of it’s overlord, even if much simpler. As it finished this transformation, the devious voice from the greater was heard once more.
With their cards laid out, we shall take on their small game first, before turning to the big guns!
Indeed, Lord. Least for… first!
These bloodthirsty divine begun moving forwards, to where most forces have relocated. Would this be a battle on equal footing, or one where one side has the edge? The soldiers on the frontline of this fight would probably speak for the later, with the big players still recovering from Corrosion’s assault at the back lines of this battlefield. Just then however when the first of the armsmen were to be turned into a soil of blood, the two gods could sense some feeling crawling up their backs, as a dark presence arose from a post gap just behind them. At last, the blur of dark joined the battle, who knows from where or how, with it’s shadowy shell saturated with the dark beyond nearly all circumstances. Only the fractured divine could react in time to it’s coming:
Here HE is, 
cowar…!
cowar…!As darkblur condensed the dark into a sphere held by all it’s hands, a wide beam of dark appeared and stroke the red god before it could even turn back, sending the figure across the PM, while also scattering Corrosion from it’s new form. Miraculously for the strength of this attack, not much damage would it deal to the soldiers of the covenant…
Meanwhile much confusion arose amongst the fighting creatures at the back lines when the major god, that they saw was hurtled towards them, suddenly disappeared into a cloud of brown and red dust that fell widely amongst these forces. The answer to the question “Where did the enemy go?” would arise shortly however when screams of fighting erupted in one of the troops, attracting much attention soon enough. From the looks of it, the formerly titanic figure of the red one shrunk down to the size roughly that of an archmage individual, before beginning to fight around the many enemies surrounding it, with the strength of it’s punches, kicks, attacks, name it, so high it could only be reasoned to be unnatural, paranormal in nature. Deus too looked at this wild fight from it’s invisible nodes above, gaining an understanding that this being appears to want perishing the forum residents face to face, as if taking more pleasure from such direct combat than swooping them all down en masse.
At the other side of the battlefield meanwhile a scene similar and yet much different was taking place. Corrosion has reformed into many figures instead of just one, with all fighting the creatures in styles much like it’s counterpart at the opposite section of the New Trench. Unlike it’s master however those figures were much easier to harm and destroy, with the primary goal for the army of the species, as commanded by Deus, being to destroy any macroscopic pieces of this god left around, which is hoped to weaken it’s overall power. The task of that however is done slowly as in the rabid fire of fighting, such pieces are difficult to lock on with one’s vision, plus furthermore the dust shredded from the humanoids is still very much willing to fight, borrowing inside it’s foes’ flesh, and causing much pain overall. Had the ghost crabs not focused most of their attention right here, it would be the most likely that from this entire battle sector a bunch of corpses borrowed in would be left, not even having achieved their goal…
While the general purpose soldiers of the this battle continue to try and slow the red’s rampage against their forces, the “big guns” beyond the back lines have begun rapidly moving towards where this pretty personal-level skirmish is taking place. As this is the main enemy that they’re facing now, they no longer are holding back, with signs of extreme power and emotion being apparent on their bodies. Suddenly having broken out of the loop of attacking and killing the sea of critters, the most prized foe speaks:
Already recovered? Go back fighting Corrosion yer fools!
As it returned to it’s upfront slaughter, the powerful assets of The Covenant’s suddenly got flung into the air, on a trajectory towards where the lesser divine was fighting the ghost-aided forces. Fortunately not, the fall of these warriors from the sky caused significant damage to themself and death to many soldiers who found themselves at the wrong place at a wrong time. Recover they did quickly as the dust figures begun quickly approaching them, reminding of the previous confrontation between the big and the ground-down.
Darkblur seems to have hidden after having done the heavy blow to the red deity, but now as the only organic fighters that could have defeated it without losses in their own ranks were kicked away, it flew as fast as a lightning towards the rampaging figure, grabbed it and quickly threw into the void. Along it flew three “dark cursors” aswell, no slower than the mistdom’s last leader, and probably deadlier than any other incarnation of an user.
As could be expected from an entity that doesn’t have to obey by the laws that govern reality, this red being soon rose from the void in spite of it being the place of no return, now being a size similar to darkblur itself. It looks like some plans have shifted…
As bold as always… Show me your worst, ye feeble blur!
And so begun a duel between these two. Moving from one side of the PM to the other in mere seconds, they hit each other constantly, though with the help of the dark cursors the blur had an edge over it’s divine enemy. What seemed less beneficial to the knight of darkness however was how it’s foe didn’t seem to really take much of any damage from the attacks of both it’s and it’s fellow cursors piloted by the last mistdom loyal users. Meanwhile when this god managed to get it’s hit in, a bit of integrity always got drained away. For a few dozen seconds the fight has already lasted, with bursts of darkness popping up each second or so around the battlefield. At the same time Corrosion has found some actual struggle against the big guns of the fight, with it having lost it’s last macroscopic pieces by this point thanks to the common effort by the regular soldiers, ghostlings and the aforementioned keystone warriors. This mundane fight was, unlike the one in the skies above, costly for both sides however, as the species gods especially are hit bad by the vile dust. They would soon be relieved of this however when all this dust rose up and quickly spread through the air. Darkblur would not realize what this meant until it was too late - the powder managed to coat both it’s shielding and the cursors, greatly reducing their effectiveness and perhaps just as importantly, speed. The dust would eventually cover the mist’s heir entirely, causing it to stop moving. With no other choice, it unveiled a move perhaps as powerful as the beam it used earlier - by converting it’s dark bubble into energy, an energy wave was created spreading all around that obliterated the dust that made up Corrosion into even more pathetic particles. But this also exposed the frail body of the blur to attacks…
So much for the successor to the forum’s greatest enemy…
How disappointing…
How disappointing…
The blur was still twitching in the air as if trying to fly, before it fell to the ground along with the last words of it’s red killer. Where it laid was the same place the red flame first descended upon. Now, it’s body laid almost lifeless, if not for the head that still exhibited some movements. The one with dark blood on their hands descended here too, watching the forum fable’s life evaporate off it’s eyes. And when they sat still, it turned back to see Corrosion’s form familiar to man made of dust tinier than ever before, making it rather frail in such a coalesced state.
I will take the charge from now on.
As said, the small ones go down the gutter first.
As said, the small ones go down the gutter first.
The decimation shall ensue!
As they turned to the armies approaching from the other side, many users and ghost crabs begun attacking the two, only for the former to suddenly lose connection, and for the later to vanish in a flash like their brethren who dared to attack the flame.
Corrosion ceased being a figure on it’s own terms this time around and became a cloud of tiny dust suspended in the air of the PM, scraping at the skin, lungs and eyes of the opponents that have been morphing for over half a decade only to end up here. Meanwhile the red deity multiplied itself into dozens of fighters the same archetype as the original rusty figure, sending it’s many bodies to begin shredding through the armies of the “small game” at inhuman speeds. The body of the blur lays isolated from this bloodbath, as it begins to decay and thaw, soon with surprisingly violent boiling letting know of itself…
