Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

Well I can't exactly make a news story for every character. It's only for major events and major plot devices to get the characters moving.

So basically, I'm asking you all to suggest something to be the main plot device.

Like I dunno, a giant, alien dildo falling out of the sky and killing the mayor's pet cat or some crazy shit like that.

Basically, it so everyone can start immediately.

I also have a character (an NPC) who ties into that particular idea; I'll try to add him soon.

Member Name: Russwallac (NPC)

Character Name/Secret Identity: Joseph

Character Bio: Joseph is a mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) whose genes were altered as an embryo, granting him intelligence beyond that of most humans. This was a result of an experiment by the scientists of GeneTech, a biotechnology company specializing in genetic engineering. Joseph, along with several other primates, was freed when the scientist heading the project disappeared. The apes' whereabouts are currently unknown. As the experiment was technically illegal, GeneTech did not report the missing animals.

Powers: Joseph possesses the normal physical abilities of a male gorilla; he is much stronger and more agile than the average human (although his endurance is significantly less). His high intelligence allows him to solve problems extremely quickly. In addition, he is extremely even-tempered and calm.

Weaknesses: Due to obvious differences between gorilla and human physiology, Joseph has trouble pronouncing certain words. Also, his large size means that he cannot move easily indoors. He is shortsighted, and requires glasses to see clearly.

Character Music:

Specific Music: Joseph leads his fellow test subjects to freedom.

Accepted!

I'd add 'lower endurance than humans' to his list of weaknesses.

After all, while he might be agile and be able to make a quick get away, he still doesn't have the endurance that we humans do. It is one of our defining traits as a species, right next to throwing and sex for fun.

I am guessing this guy probably won't like Ikabod's methods then?

I like him :)

Anyone with a name as weird as "Ikabod" is bound to attract attention.

Also, a storyline involving a rivalry between Ikabod and Joseph would be AWESOME. (Might Ikabod have some sort of tie to GeneTech..? Probably not, but it's a neat idea...)

Just wait until you meet him, thats when you learn what a shit magnet he is...

He could have easily worked at Genetech, most likely kicked out for even more unethical research...

I loved that movie!

That was intentional, right?

I can't see what movie it is... And I didn't name him after anyone.
