DITL Species 8- Allignment
Posted: Fri Apr 03, 2009 8:32 am
Week One we decided it is a Fungal creature
Week Two we decided that it would live off decay and consumption
Week Three we decided it would use ganglion- brains spread throughout its body in clusters.
Week Four we decided it would use spores in an asexual form of reproduction.
Week Five we decided that the creature was 'type D' meaning long lived but had very few offspring.
Week Six we decided that the species would live in large hives.
Week Seven we decided that the species natural habitat would be a primordial tropical swamp... leaning towards swamp.
This week we decide on the alignment, for loss of a better term, of their dominant culture. In the future we'll be deciding if they are part of the UFP or another Empire and if they are just assume they worked their way past that Took me awhile to think of how to put this in pull terms but I think Civilization IV did it best.
Aggressive - Military Conquest is a chief element in their society
Creative - Works of art in music, literature are highly prized. Very scientifically based.
Expansive - Depending on what its teamed up with can mean colonization or a rapidly growing Empire.
Financial - Maybe a whole planet that's economy runs like Iceland... hopefully they have a better ending.
Industrious - Morgan from Civ Alpha Centauri would love them.
Organized - Castes and bureaucracy
Philosophical - The best thinkers of the Galaxy
Spiritual - Highly religious.
Imperialistic - Works well with expansive but they like client kingdoms and satellite nations.
Protective - Get off my lawn!
Charismatic - Culture is highly sought after. Think of American culture on Earth today. Infomercials for fungus color changing and how to get the decaying neighbor out of the freezer. Just 19.95.
Stoners- Liberal stoners living off smoking spare body parts and living off a diet of government cheese.
You're allowed to vote 2 things but the top 3 will win. The first two will be dominant traits and the third will be a recessive that is there in the culture just not noticeable by the people of the culture but someone on the outside might take notice.
I think this is where the thread series starts to become really fun since we now have a species now we design the empire or lack there of.
