| 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.

I am the Clocksmith. I have traversed the entirety of time and space. I have seen the beginning of things, and I have seen the end. I have seen all of the universe and its splendor. I have seen other universes as well. All of them. I know every detail about them, in and out. I am the Clocksmith. Guardian of Time. Protector of Space. I am history repeating. I am here to offer you an opportunity. An opportunity unlike any other. I have the desire to see a new universe. But I wish to be surprised. I will not interfere, but I will give you a basic structure from which you can build the ultimate universe. You shall begin life on Earth. It's history is relatively the same, with minor differences. This Earth is incredibly similar to yours, to the point where you could spend an entire lifetime without finding one. This is where you come in. I want you to fill the planet with changes and alterations. Nothing too drastic. I want differences that, with time, will give rise to a drastically different future. I want you to make superheroes. Supervillains. Anti-heroes. Anti-villains. Everything in between. There is a section labelled 'character allignment'. Basically, there is a grid on which you allign your character. There is Good and Evil scale, and there is the Lawful and Chaotic scale. Here's a sample, with several recognizable people from other universes, along with flavor text. Spoiler: click to toggle I shall provide a template with which you can build a life.
I shall provide a filled out template with a character to help you get started.
Remember, I want to see a brand new universe. Create something original and break the mold! Edited by Kamidio, Jan 21 2013, 08:53 PM.

Alright, but Lex wasn't actually a prince to begin with; his father was one, but he was exiled for falling in love with a human. So I suppose the entire "prince"concept doesn't matter very much at all... But yes, I shall do that. Do I need to re-post my character info at all, or do I simply need to edit it? |

Edit is fine, but I prefer reposts, because they show the evolution of a character from point A to B. |

Oh. Alright, I'll repost it then. I also forgot to add that he was once an alcoholic, anyway, so I suppose that would be best. |

Here's my edit, with the necessary changes: Character Name/Secret Identity: Alexander Draigoran Dragonne a.k.a. Lex Character Description: He is an orange-haired half dragon, with blue-green eyes and slightly pointed ears. He’s about 5’10”, semi-muscular and about 170lbs. He has scars all over his body, mostly on his legs and back, and though he once had wings and a tail, they had been cut off when he was sixteen; his tail has grown back, though it’s only about four inches long, but his wings won’t grow back until he’s twenty five years old. [Character pic can be found here: http://fav.me/d5bohlg] Character Alignment: True Neutral Character Bio: Lex is the son of the former(though now exiled and disowned) Dragon Prince of Austria and a human woman from Wales, seen as a half-breed abomination by both sides of his extended family. He didn’t let that get to him, though, and retained a pleasant and cheerful attitude until the age of twelve years old, when his mother died. His father became violent as the years passed, and by the time he turned fifteen he couldn’t stand living with the verbal abuse he’d suffered from each day. He ran away from home with a backpack filled with some clothes and a few of his most prized possessions, along with all of the money he’d saved up over the past three years, and he wandered around for a little over a year before he found the Neon Forest Circus where he was given a job and a place to stay. About two weeks into his employment he unknowingly attracted the attention of the Ringmaster, Rick Daimon, who sexually assaulted him and forced him to become a performer. When Lex resisted Rick began to torture him, cutting off his wings and tail and giving him most of his scars; he took to drinking beer in order to forget what was happening to him, though he quit when he ended up burning his throat. His assault and torture lasted for over two years, and the only reason why it had ended was because he had finally managed to escape. Now twenty years old, he’s still incredibly afraid that the Ringmaster will find him and bring him back someday, which causes him to travel around the United States without staying in any one place for more than a month or two. Powers: He can breathe fire, absorb the energy from any sort of flames through his skin (Except when he has any sort of flammable liquid on his skin), can lift twice his body weight, and he has minor healing powers(he uses his fire to seal his wounds, which heals him but leaves scars if the injuries are deep enough). Weaknesses: Staying out in overly cold temperatures for extended periods of time, any sort of overly-flammable liquid(mentioned above), he was once an alcoholic so there is a chance that he could become addicted again, he can't really handle having beautiful women flirt with him(shyness), he's wary of men between the ages of 25 and 35, but only those who could/would try to take advantage of him(fear), and he cannot feel anything in his arms, legs, or back.

Since I presume this is going to be a bit less interact-ish than SSU2, I'm probably gonna join. Not this issue, though.

Your music should be "Mr Blue Sky" by ELO. |

"You shall perish, whatever you do! If you are taken with arms in your hands, death! If you beg for mercy, death! Whichever way you turn, right, left, back, forward, up, down, death! You are not merely outside the law, you are outside humanity. Neither age nor sex shall save you and yours. You shall die, but first you shall taste the agony of your wife, your sister, your sons and daughters, even those in the cradle! Before your eyes the wounded man shall be taken out of the ambulance and hacked with bayonets or knocked down with the butt end of a rifle. He shall be dragged living by his broken leg or bleeding arm and flung like a suffering, groaning bundle of refuse into the gutter. Death! Death! Death!" | |

Accepted. It's nice to see a hero the suffers from Stretch Armstrong syndrome. Though I wouldn't call it suffering, so much as 'they've got gigantic arms and will use them to bash in skulls'. Abe Lincoln had the same condition. |

Over-powered. Try again. I would eliminate the fire and lightning. Heck, his powers could be psychic in nature. Advanced telepathy could easily be used to make people stop in their tracks, psychokinesis to assist in jumping and running as well as enhance his voice into a weapon. It would also explain why overloading his senses is a weakness, because if you overload the brain with information, then you can shut down psychic abilities. Anyhow, I've got an important question. What happens if someone is hammier than him? Like say, roasted ham. |

"IT APPEARS THAT YOUR FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBLE ROLE-PLAYING GAME CANNOT EVEN BEGIN TO COMPREHEND MY AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAZINGNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Yes, we get it. BACK TO ZE DRAWING BOARD WITH YOUR FACE. *Attacks with giant rubber* Well, your main problem seemed to be the rageface. He usually makes an extremely loud and awesome one-liner before ditching, instead of getting angry, when he's losing/lost. Might be best as a weakness, instead, because he has to break and rebuild his ham from it too. Best thing to do would be remove the evil laugh (possibly freeze ray from dodos, too), since when he gets a good enough laugh (or freeze rays people), anyone else could simply explode them into a pile of gore without having to fight. If someone is hammier than him, then he ONE-UPS THEM. If you're hammier than him by a magnitude (usually by using voice powers to be far louder, since he can pick out amplification), he usually just puts on an 'o fak' face and ditches. And then come back next time with enough other hamminess to be equal again (such as a robododolauncher). One of his weaknesses, however, is that he operates on rule of cool instead of rule of efficiency. He's always willing to build an electrocannon instead of an A.K.A-47. |
