I didn't think that ocean acidification would be a huge problem for the creatures who live off the volcanic vents considering how incredibly hostile that environment is anyway. Extremophiles are very good at surviving in certain extreme conditions. Put them them in a different extreme condition and they'd die off easilyh.

She continues this for a while (walking behind a wall to change her outfit now and then), until one of her visitors coughs.

Yeah, and even if you don't agree with creationists on that concept, that doesn't mean they can't be decent people. I have friends who are creationist (possibly even young earth) that I get along with fine in general life.

But Souls are delicious. They're like bacon - they taste good on anything. But if you eat them, you completely remove them from existence! They can't move on or... or be reincarnated! Huh. I never really gave it much thought. Besides, what do you mean by reincarnation anyway? You know, being reborn as someone or something else. Which means different body, different memories, different experiences, yes? So isn't being reborn as "something else" the same as being "removed from existence"? I... I... eating souls isn't right! That depends on your definition of "right". All living things survive by eating other living things. So what? You're a god. You should be above all that! Gods are above living things, which doesn't necessarily mean we care about them.

Yes i did read the article, I didn't account for anoxia with the deep sea fish. I didn't think that ocean acidification would be a huge problem for the creatures who live off the volcanic vents considering how incredibly hostile that environment is anyway. That still doesn't rid the tardigrades though, they can hibernate for ages and are probably the hardiest creature on the face of the earth, and laugh in the face of radiation and subzero temperatures. Or they would if they had the proper body structures to do so. I mean look at this face. Tardigrades are only "invincible" when they're in cryptobioses. Otherwise, they're just as delicate as any similarly sized animal. Also, it takes tardigrades quite a bit of time entering and exiting cryptobioses. In fact, I think several nematodes rival the durability of tardigrades. But yeah, I think some might survive. But for the sake of this, let's say the extinction was SO bad, that not even tardigrades would survive. Even the one metazoan that made it through just barely survived. I think this is a good place to start:
After a while, when the surface of the earth starts to become a little more hospitable, bacteria starts clumping together to from stramatolites. Eventually, there is tones of structures made of bacteria, as well a a thick biomat of bacteria. Then, after a long time, our hardy little animal surfaces to see this recovering biosphere. They eat tones of bacteria, initially causing a population crash. But the bacteria adapt. This starts a new arms race between the bacteria and the nematodes. This eventually leads to the Initiovumian explosion, and the start of a new eon, the Nematozoic.

Projects Punga: A terraformed world with no vertebrates Last one crawling: The last arthropod
ARTH-6810: A world without vertebrates (It's ded, but you can still read I guess)
Potential ideas- Swamp world: A world covered in lakes, with the largest being caspian sized. Nematozoic: After a mass extinction of ultimate proportions, a single species of nematode is the only surviving animal. Tri-devonian: A devonian like ecosystem with holocene species on three different continents.
Quotes "Arthropod respiratory systems aren't really "inefficient", they're just better suited to their body size. It would be quite inefficient for a tiny creature that can easily get all the oxygen it needs through passive diffusion to have a respiratory system that wastes energy on muscles that pump air into sacs. (Hence why lungless salamanders, uniquely miniscule and hyperabundant tetrapods, have ditched their lungs in favor of breathing with their skin and buccal mucous membranes.) But large, active insects already use muscles to pump air in and out of their spiracles, and I don't see why their tracheae couldn't develop pseudo- lungs if other conditions pressured them to grow larger."-HangingTheif
"Considering the lifespans of modern non- insect arthropods (decade-old old millipedes, 50 year old tarantulas, 100+ year old lobsters) I wouldn't be surprised if Arthropleura had a lifespan exceeding that of a large testudine"-HangingTheif
"Humans have a tribal mindset and it's not alien for tribes to war on each other. I mean, look at the atrocities chimpanzee tribes do to each other. Most of people's groupings and big conflicts in history are directly or obliquely manifestations of this tribal mindset."-Sceynyos-yis
"He's the leader of the bunch You know his Coconut Gun is finally back to fire in spurts. His Coconut Gun Can make you smile If he shoots ya it's firing in spurts. His Coconut Gun Is bigger, faster, stronger too! He's the gun member of the Coconut Crew! HUH!

Future Evo: Future Ice Age of sorts. Terraformed world only populated by Iguanas and Invertebrates.
Alt Evo: A no PT Extinction (Permian-Triassic)
All I can think of. Had a few ideas for the No PT extinction, but they never really kicked off (If you get which creatures I'm talking about.)

I wonder how big and complex the future nematodes could get........ Like car sized grazing nematode slug-monsters, and massive swarms of mini grazers crawling through the undergrowth. Then, maybe burrowing ambush predators with multiple sets of jaws and extendable neck. I really like this idea.

Then, maybe burrowing ambush predators with multiple sets of jaws and extendable neck. I really like this idea. We have to remember one thing. Chordates and panarthropods both evolved from primitive "worms". Hell, the urbilateran ancestor was probably a "worm". But there is one other thing to consider.
Cycloneuralia is being considered paraphyletic by a growing number of people (sort of the ecdysozoan version of platyzoa). The general consensus is that nematodes (and nematomorphs) are closer to panarthropods than to scalidophorans. If this is true, then the wormy ancestor of panarthropods had cycloneuralian features, like the position of the brain around the pharynx.
This means that our lonely little nematode would probably give rise to neo-panarthropods if given enough time. What do you think?

That still doesn't rid the tardigrades though, they can hibernate for ages and are probably the hardiest creature on the face of the earth, and laugh in the face of radiation and subzero temperatures. Or they would if they had the proper body structures to do so. I mean look at this face.
Tardigrades are only "invincible" when they're in cryptobioses. Otherwise, they're just as delicate as any similarly sized animal. Also, it takes tardigrades quite a bit of time entering and exiting cryptobioses. In fact, I think several nematodes rival the durability of tardigrades. But yeah, I think some might survive. But for the sake of this, let's say the extinction was SO bad, that not even tardigrades would survive. Even the one metazoan that made it through just barely survived. I think this is a good place to start: After a while, when the surface of the earth starts to become a little more hospitable, bacteria starts clumping together to from stramatolites. Eventually, there is tones of structures made of bacteria, as well a a thick biomat of bacteria. Then, after a long time, our hardy little animal surfaces to see this recovering biosphere. They eat tones of bacteria, initially causing a population crash. But the bacteria adapt. This starts a new arms race between the bacteria and the nematodes. This eventually leads to the Initiovumian explosion, and the start of a new eon, the Nematozoic.
I wonder how big and complex the future nematodes could get........ Like car sized grazing nematode slug-monsters, and massive swarms of mini grazers crawling through the undergrowth. Then, maybe burrowing ambush predators with multiple sets of jaws and extendable neck. I really like this idea.
We have to remember one thing. Chordates and panarthropods both evolved from primitive "worms". Hell, the urbilateran ancestor was probably a "worm". But there is one other thing to consider. Cycloneuralia is being considered paraphyletic by a growing number of people (sort of the ecdysozoan version of platyzoa). The general consensus is that nematodes (and nematomorphs) are closer to panarthropods than to scalidophorans. If this is true, then the wormy ancestor of panarthropods had cycloneuralian features, like the position of the brain around the pharynx. This means that our lonely little nematode would probably give rise to neo-panarthropods if given enough time. What do you think?

Projects Punga: A terraformed world with no vertebrates Last one crawling: The last arthropod
ARTH-6810: A world without vertebrates (It's ded, but you can still read I guess)
Potential ideas- Swamp world: A world covered in lakes, with the largest being caspian sized. Nematozoic: After a mass extinction of ultimate proportions, a single species of nematode is the only surviving animal. Tri-devonian: A devonian like ecosystem with holocene species on three different continents.
Quotes "Arthropod respiratory systems aren't really "inefficient", they're just better suited to their body size. It would be quite inefficient for a tiny creature that can easily get all the oxygen it needs through passive diffusion to have a respiratory system that wastes energy on muscles that pump air into sacs. (Hence why lungless salamanders, uniquely miniscule and hyperabundant tetrapods, have ditched their lungs in favor of breathing with their skin and buccal mucous membranes.) But large, active insects already use muscles to pump air in and out of their spiracles, and I don't see why their tracheae couldn't develop pseudo- lungs if other conditions pressured them to grow larger."-HangingTheif
"Considering the lifespans of modern non- insect arthropods (decade-old old millipedes, 50 year old tarantulas, 100+ year old lobsters) I wouldn't be surprised if Arthropleura had a lifespan exceeding that of a large testudine"-HangingTheif

But Souls are delicious. They're like bacon - they taste good on anything. But if you eat them, you completely remove them from existence! They can't move on or... or be reincarnated! Huh. I never really gave it much thought. Besides, what do you mean by reincarnation anyway? You know, being reborn as someone or something else. Which means different body, different memories, different experiences, yes? So isn't being reborn as "something else" the same as being "removed from existence"? I... I... eating souls isn't right! That depends on your definition of "right". All living things survive by eating other living things. So what? You're a god. You should be above all that! Gods are above living things, which doesn't necessarily mean we care about them.

They would also have to get passes eutely and their exoskeletons (remember, nematodes, like arthropods, have chitinous exoskeletons that they molt).

Startled, she looks up, apologizes, and grabs a handful of textbooks and novels before daintily running off to join them. What, you want me to tell you what these mean?

Yeah, and even if you don't agree with creationists on that concept, that doesn't mean they can't be decent people. I have friends who are creationist (possibly even young earth) that I get along with fine in general life. I don't think they're right of course, but that doesn't make them intellectual degenerates. ~~The Words of forbidden3

Even though he is our creator, that does not afford him the right to take our lives on a whim. But that is the thinking of a homs. He is a god. Such morals cannot apply to gods. So you think we should just shut up and die?! If that is the fate decided by a god. You are mistaken if you think we will simply accept such a fate and wait to die. We'll never stop fighting. Not till the end. To Zanza, the outcome is the same. Thus your logic is flawed.

But Souls are delicious. They're like bacon - they taste good on anything. But if you eat them, you completely remove them from existence! They can't move on or... or be reincarnated! Huh. I never really gave it much thought. Besides, what do you mean by reincarnation anyway? You know, being reborn as someone or something else. Which means different body, different memories, different experiences, yes? So isn't being reborn as "something else" the same as being "removed from existence"? I... I... eating souls isn't right! That depends on your definition of "right". All living things survive by eating other living things. So what? You're a god. You should be above all that! Gods are above living things, which doesn't necessarily mean we care about them.

As for the legs, is there a specific part they have to be derived from or can they "just grow" legs? If the former, what is that part?

Projects Punga: A terraformed world with no vertebrates Last one crawling: The last arthropod
ARTH-6810: A world without vertebrates (It's ded, but you can still read I guess)
Potential ideas- Swamp world: A world covered in lakes, with the largest being caspian sized. Nematozoic: After a mass extinction of ultimate proportions, a single species of nematode is the only surviving animal. Tri-devonian: A devonian like ecosystem with holocene species on three different continents.
Quotes "Arthropod respiratory systems aren't really "inefficient", they're just better suited to their body size. It would be quite inefficient for a tiny creature that can easily get all the oxygen it needs through passive diffusion to have a respiratory system that wastes energy on muscles that pump air into sacs. (Hence why lungless salamanders, uniquely miniscule and hyperabundant tetrapods, have ditched their lungs in favor of breathing with their skin and buccal mucous membranes.) But large, active insects already use muscles to pump air in and out of their spiracles, and I don't see why their tracheae couldn't develop pseudo- lungs if other conditions pressured them to grow larger."-HangingTheif
"Considering the lifespans of modern non- insect arthropods (decade-old old millipedes, 50 year old tarantulas, 100+ year old lobsters) I wouldn't be surprised if Arthropleura had a lifespan exceeding that of a large testudine"-HangingTheif
"Humans have a tribal mindset and it's not alien for tribes to war on each other. I mean, look at the atrocities chimpanzee tribes do to each other. Most of people's groupings and big conflicts in history are directly or obliquely manifestations of this tribal mindset."-Sceynyos-yis
"He's the leader of the bunch You know his Coconut Gun is finally back to fire in spurts. His Coconut Gun Can make you smile If he shoots ya it's firing in spurts. His Coconut Gun Is bigger, faster, stronger too! He's the gun member of the Coconut Crew! HUH!

An idea for a project I want to do once I get a proper drawing tablet.
The Ark
The year is 6313. Humans have colonized many parts of their galactic arm, simultaneously sharing it which other space fairing sophonts. On the other side of the Milky Way, a dangerous alien race of bio-cybernetic creatures called "Malaware" were waging war on all "lower" life forms. They spread like the virus they are across the galaxy, until they came across the arm that humans and many other species reside in. The Malaware, at first, slaughtered everything in their path, but the galactic residents fought back. The combined forces of all these alien races were too much for them to handle. The Malaware had not come across any sapient that could take down a whole fleet of their ships with one beam. In a storm of panic and rage, the Malaware released their ultimate weapon. The Galacticide. A swarm of nano machines that could render a galaxy steril in meer centuries. The galacticide had one goal; make more galacticide. Once the Malaware released it, the machines spread like wild fire. Going from planet to planet, dissolveing all life down to its molecular components, building new rockets from those components, and repeating the process. The humans and all other alien races had no way of stopping this destructive force. So, in an effort to save all life from the Milky Way, they created an Ark. A planet four times the size of earth, but with the same amount of density and gravity. They took animals from several worlds, put them special habitats, and put the planet inside a temporary pocket dimension. The humans and the other races built a gateway in the center of the galaxy, turning the black hole into a wormhole that would connect then to the closest habitable galaxy; Andromeda. They pulled the Ark out of its pocket universe, gave it an artificial sun (that would become inactive and become the planets moon once the planet found a stable orbit in a naturally occurring star), and threw it into the portal. The Alien races sealed the doorway up, saving life in the Milky Way. The planet soon found itself in orbit around a star similar to our own, and millions of years later, life has evolved into many strange forms.
