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.

A Very Busy Galaxy Started out as the ultimate cross over between sci-fi universes. And was an rp for a short amount of time.

Here is an overview of the main powers of the galaxy:

The UNSC

There are thousands of other more minor powers in this galaxy which I shall go into if you guys are interested? Any alien species suggestions I will try to include although a wikipedia article would help :) Also would you guys want to restart the rp?

Why do aliens keep having meaningful human names? You should at least mess it up a little, for example, I have two Mass Effect OCs- Turian sisters who are essentially named Lilith and Eve. BUT I did a bit of research, and came up with reasonable portmanteaus of older versions of the "Lilith and Eve" names and related figures, while remaining close enough to the source.

Liritu and Hivan are their names.

They also, as you may have guessed, had a brother named Admarr.

BUT that would be my advice, because seeing a really blatantly /English common/ human name as an alien name is just jarring. I may also be biased because I know two real-life Liliths.

Lilith is also found in Jewish mythology, too, although there she's more of a tragic figure and a warning about the perils of wanting too much when you have what you need. ALSO she's supposedly the mother of all demons.

Edit: WAIT NEVERMIND YOU CAN TOTALLY USE LILITH BUT ONLY IF SHE HAS ADRAT-YAKSHI KIDS BECAUSE THEN IT'S SUPER MEANINGFUL and I'm an advocate of "you can use meaningful names but only if you make them super obvious."

Lilith was born on Coruscant though, so a human name is not a far stretch, especially if the asaris partner was human.

T-Rex and Fakey you are both accepted :)

Just letting you know, I got a lot on my plate lately and it might affect my game play.

I added the Awards my character won today because I was bored, and I'll put them here because I crave validation and attention.

Gonna post my character at some point. There doesn't seem to be any rush, though, and other things need attending to right now.
Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea.

If any of you want your character drawn you can get it done here pretty cheaply.

Real money is money you can touch and feel, and grope and-

I'll stop myself there.

Virtual money is stored on computers and tends to stay there. In fact, most of the money in the world is stored in this virtual form.

No I don't, I'm asking because she's changing jobs and needs money to get over the trial period, and I thought it might be nice to let you all know you can get pictures if you want.

You need to get to know and artist and become their friend, then wait until they feel like doing requests to get them most of the time.

Get a bank account and a paypal. All money is virtual, unless you only use Krugerrand or something. Cotton paper and cupronickel aren't worth any more than numbers on a screen.
