A sketch set for @sudrien- Concepts for a character in their sci-fi setting!

Meet Hiusta<3. I designed her (with input obvs) based on what goo and body types were least common in the current character roster. As such she’s a taller, thinner character who squishes herself up *even taller* to try and be less intimidated by their formidable ship captain. She’s actually easygoing and just wants to learn all about Earth life and culture! it’s just too bad she does about as well as your average tourist visiting hawa’ii.

"'The Pinnacle of Evolution.' What is that. What Is that." "Um. Nothing ever dies?" "I think its just a writer who doesn't even know their own theories." "So. A few days ago I saw a video that claimed... uh. Larval thing. Tiny thing with lots of legs." "So not a snake." "'Pillar' something. Anyways, builds its own damn containment matrix out of local materials and comes out with wings." "Oh - so not very large then." "Shut. Listen. Whatever made the video claimed it rewrote its own genetic structure." There was the muffles sound of at least three heads slapped. There were no dedicated biologists among the bridge crew. "Ok, we have proof someone on that planet knows what DNA is." "Apparently they're not sharing the facts very well." "Wait, I...." "No offense.... or not much"

"Moths. Butterfiles. Uh..."

"She didn't finish her education, don't blame her if she's confused. Again."

"Hey, I took the survey science course. Business is about different things." "Do you think Peyde knows what DNA is?" "Oh, that's a loaded question." "Ok, DNA is?" "Cell. Instructions. For building things." "On both macro and micro levels - the proteins, and the shapes it will be arranged in." "And they don't change." "Oh ho - they change. But never by intent. Radiation, errors in copying - if the result can live with out throwing any body alarms, it will live. But one of these mis-copies doesn't spread to other cells in the body - though descendant cells themselves may end up relocating." "Is now a good time to ask about my room reassig-" "No." "However, just because a cell has a full set of DNA, that doesn't mean it has to act on the whole instruction set. SO certain sets of DNA are enabled and disabled based on ... a whole lot of things." "...what" "A whole lot of things" "Ah... expression based on hormones." "Local environment and stress, mostly. Anyways. Pillar to Moth" "CATERPILLAR. THAT'S WHAT oh sorry." "Caterpillar to Moth is not at all from the DNA changing, but a chemical signal while it's in its matrix leading to wildly different expression of that DNA - switch flip, wings get." "Unless they die in the process." "Right. Most of the time it's just an expression switch getting flipped, but very rarely those copying errors actually lead to something different happening. And the larger organisim somehow gets a better grip of it's environment that the others bedey-bey po-" "Hey, Nine Plus in front of the guest." "The other ninety-nine. point nine percent without the new gene - getting more in that next generation, killing off, dying less, however it does it, the number with that gene expression increases." "Which is why it doesn't end. Generations keep happening, the environment changes, the situation changes. You don't win Evolution. There is no peak unless there is no Environment." "How. Do they expect not to have an Environment." "There was some mentions of brains in computers." "Of course they'd think they only need the main mass of neurons. It's got to be a fetish." "Isn't that..." "Oh no, hun. We could give you a run of the ships computer and it'd just be like staring out of a window at best." "Yeah, the so-called brain in a jar model needs constant stimulus, which is why again, no peak." "Everything alive need constant stimulus even if it isn't sentient. It's not life without it.

There are a few prerequisites for understanding FTL spaceship design.

First, A number of humans are aware of what they labeled the Kardashev scale - a fanciful measure of what level of energy is available for use compared to a solar mean. What generally is unrecognized of how infected with monoculture this scale is. Captured energy is destroyed potential. Humans have labeled subsets of this concept Entropy and Efficiency. How to... A spaceship is a closed system. A system where the ideal is Kardashev Type 1 - all energy available at any moment is being directed towards it's best use. This is both a theoretical and impossible state, because waste heat alone would kill everyone on it if allowed to accumulate. In the same vein, an FTL maneuver is by many scales of magnitude the least efficient thing a spaceship does. The other parts of the ship can not hope to take the amount of energy required by such a maneuver. There is no FTL-scale capacitor. Something has to happen with that power. Which is why there are no lifeboats, no escape pods. The greatest danger to a spaceship is itself - and if the spaceship becomes a problem, you're not going to get ahead of that problem by hiding in a slightly adjacent corner of spacetime. Any support ships are the smallest size possible to serve their function and remain maintainable. An asteroid miner seats one comfortably - or two uncomfortably - Has one vacuum-rated suit on the other side of the air lock, and the equipment and tools it will require on the next trip. It's small, because we have to have space in the hangar for four more in case it breaks down. It's small, because if there is a loss, less loss means less work for those who remain. Your concept of Kardashev Type 2 - It doesn't happen by the definition you give. Because the civilization that attempts it is a ruthless one.

And Kardashev Type 3 - would be tyrants of an inconceivable scale.
