Zee Roleplays IN SPAAACE

@zeerps

This is where all my Spaceverse RP stuff will go soon. Right now I'm just porting over everything I think is important and/or well-written. Check "Important links" for aliens and shit. The tags "Zee IC" and "Zee RPs" are for actual roleplay stuff.

Those who spend time on the Puca's home world not that aside from their basic fur coloration, the Puca don't resemble any other life on their world. In fact, mammalian life is incredibly rare, and further than that the Puca have bright red and runny blood, in contrast to the rustier, thicker blood of most other forms of ground-dwelling life. This of course is because they were not born on that planet, but planted there by their creators, the knowledge of which is a secret kept by their unreadable government.

#Slow and Steady #nattering #Thieves of Thought

Diplomats traveling through the stars often face the common problem of actually finding someone to speak with. In unknown realms, it may take decades or longer to locate anyone or anything capable of communication. Too often, a signal from a population eager to meet their galatic neighbors has led to a world abandoned or dead, ancient ruins only barely standing, barely proving that their people used to exist.

Explorers often lose their enthusiasm, sometimes even their hope. The universe is infinitely large, after all, and the distance between each inhabited world unimaginably vast. It is the unfortunate case that even with the most powerful equipment available, it’s far too easy to overlook one speck among a thousand.

[Sniffing intensifies]

To races that emote as much as humans do, the gibborum can be unnerving. They make no expressions and have nonexistent body language, and unless a human has a particularly sharp nose their subtle “mood odors” are difficult to detect. It can be hard to know what a gibborum is thinking unless you know what to look for. Luckily, their noses (the entire top of their head) often betrays their underlying thought process.

Some examples include:

A long, intense whiff that is softly exhaled: The gibborum is in unfamiliar territory and is attempting to get a good, long “look” at the area around it.

A quick but intense whiff that is exhaled through the mouth: The gibborum has detected a change in their environment and is taking a “snapshot” of the area to try and narrow down what is different.

Leaning towards someone and giving a long but gentle sniff: A gesture of friendliness; they are committing the person’s scent to memory, essentially saying “I will never forget you.”

Leaning towards someone and inhaling through both the nose and the mouth: A threat display, analyzing the person’s aroma and flavor. A more threatening take on “I will never forget you.”

TA-89-S2: Playground of the Gods

Also known as the Titan’s Resting Place, the Incubator, and simply the Tarrasque’s Palace. It is firmly in the territory of the Alternian Empire, though it’s unwise to actually say no to any other race that wishes to pay their respects to the dominant life form on the world in fear of accidentally waking it up.

The Eater of Worlds

Also known by such names as the Devourer, the Void Maw, the Star Eater, the Space Whale, and various other names of different degrees of politeness and tact. This beast is apparently one of a kind, at least as far as anyone can tell, and anyone who has heard of it is thankful for that. Rivaling some stars in size, the beast very lazily drifts along the galaxy and has been doing so ever since its discovery, only occasionally changing its path to intercept a meal it would otherwise miss.

Three small but unusual worlds

As exploration of the galaxy uncovers more and more worlds, it’s bound to come across some ones that make the explorers step back and take pause. Beneath the cut are three such oddities.

From warning signs to strange objects drifting along the void, you never know what you’ll come across in the universe.

Eid-33Y, the Watching World

A planet notable for its very Earth-like atmospheric composition and biomes, those seeking to stay there are greeted by very unusual lifeforms that have terrified more than one settler off the planet. The most common form of vermin on the world makes up for roughly 30% of the animal population, and it doesn’t look like they’re going anywhere any time soon.

The Monolith

Initially discovered in a terrible accident in which one ship in a fleet slammed into it, the “Monolith” as it has come to be called has become a curiosity among the scientific community. Rightly so, considering no one knows anything about it or where it came from.

The Signal from the End of Time

…Or so it’s called. This mysterious message was barely audible in the background ‘static’ of many galactic transmission stations, spanning multiple star systems light years apart all over the course of approximately one month. Few copies were caught before the signal faded out completely, but all attempts to fully restore the audio have met with partial to total failure. The message was startlingly easy to translate, as it repeated the same message in many different languages, most of which traced their roots back to some known languages.

Efforts to contain the message failed simply due to the scale at which it propagated. It has since been dismissed as a hoax by someone hoping to stir panic, but it still spreads around message boards, video/audio sites, and social sites now and then as people try to prove it true, using fake stories or otherwise. The actual origin of the signal cannot be traced due to how decayed it has become.

The 'full’ message is contained below, pieced together from the numerous translations that were successfully recorded.

My Queen, My Queen

How I’ve loved our dances, how I’ve loved our time. How I’ve loved our memories! My Queen, my Queen, how impatient I grow to feel you so close to me again.

Captain’s log 3046, Day XX, XXXX–

I had the dream again. At first I thought nothing of it, though it was unusual. But it happened again. I’m recording it this time, because maybe when we get back home I can have someone interpret it.

S-T31C, the Stepping Stone

A free-floating spherical asteroid, thought to have once been the moon to a world that has since collapsed. It floats through an uninhabited point in space, nevertheless discovered because its sole inhabitant puts out a continuous but indecipherable radio signal that many have investigated.

The towering machine is almost forty miles in height, bipedal but possessing no features aside from its massive spherical body covered in numerous transmission dishes from which its signal emerges. It continuously walks along the asteroid, wearing a groove into its surface with its footsteps, only changing this pattern when a significant enough impact from an asteroid collision makes it lose its balance. Its legs and body are covered in pockmarks from smaller impacts, many of its dishes destroyed as well, with a large dent near its top that is presumably the reason for its scrambled signal and unchanging walk cycle.

Attempts to dismantle and analyze it are ongoing but slow, the machine’s hull constructed of an as-yet unknown polymer. It was built to take a lot of punishment. Attempts to analyze its signal are also underway, but fruitless. It broadcasts only mechanical whining and loud static. Any words that may be among them are too garbled to make out.

“My mind often goes to strange places when I sleep, but never anywhere like this. I was not alone there. Another dreaming mind walked the same land with me, but this one strode with purpose. Direction. I don’t know where it was headed, but I hope it is a long way away from us.”

#Outer Influence

As the length of the creature’s body exceeds several thousand miles, only a small portion of it was successfully teleported out of the event horizon for study. The being is roughly an inch in diameter, and the teleportation cut shows no sign of bleeding. In fact, its body seems composed uniformly of unremarkable tissue.

It showed no signs of life, having no measurable pulse or brain activity and possessing a body temperature close to absolute zero. However, on occasion the minute paddle-like appendages along the sides of its body would move.

Little study could be done on the being, unfortunately. After roughly 63 hours, the room it was contained in collapsed inwards, making further observation impossible. By the time any repairs could be made, the subject had somehow vanished and rejoined with the section it was previously severed from.

K1-17G: The Glimmering World

A small world nonetheless noteworthy for its beauty, most travelers who roam the galaxy tend to see it at least once in their lifetimes. It is hard to get close most of the time, its orbit taking it fatally close to the sun, but making the trip is often worth it.
