[X] Simple Bamboo
A form of water born bamboo appears near the marble island swaying slightly but keeping itself straight in defiance. The plant as it grows curls around like a snake with leaves jutting off from the tip, it slowly spreads it seeds further and further around the island.

Just to be sure, is this straight bamboo? Curly? Corkscrew?

    I'm thinking of a different format for voting?

    A moratorium (sp?) or, a period to talk amongst yourselves, put out ideas, and get them graded... *then* a period of voting, once everyone knows what their options are, and what it'll take for them to pass.

    Next time though.


    Power finally stirs, breaking the stillness.

    Up from the bottom of the ocean, structures rise up, and up, and up...until they too surpass the limits of the water, and they too join Above and Below. Three tall obelisks, each of a different material, and each on a side of the Pyramid-yet-to-be. To the west, the Red Tower. Made of polished granite. To the East, The White Tower, made of polished Diorite. And to the South, the Grey Tower, made of polished Andesite.

    Each day, a block of stone, identical to that of the obelisk that summons it, is created and rests at the base, out of sight of anyone.

    Then a fraction of the power that resides in the Potential of the world is gathered, creating a large ball of pure energy. There is a flash, and a bang. The seawater below it changes states, creating clouds of hydrogen and chlorine. Then it settles, and rests where the pyramid would be, in the middle of the three obelisks.

    And then the pyramid itself shifted, changing from a state of Potential, to finally being created and given mass. Around the energy core, the pyramid constructs itself with large blocks of Calcium Carbonate, shutting away all but the last of the light from the core, giving it a faint glow from within. Comparing the tip of the Pyramid, that which was Above, against the tips of the obelisks would be like comparing the [Pyramid of Giza] with a [semi-truck].

    And finally, life springs forth. The first of it, too, comes up from the bottom of the sea. Fast growing, tall strands of a marine bamboo race up towards the top, slowing once it breaks the waters surface, and beginning to grow in a corkscrew shape. There leaves it grows is a splash of color, both Above and Below. And yet more color is created as with plant, comes animal. From nowhere, a gigantic school of small, metallic fish swarm through, finding that they leaves of the bamboo are perfect for making their homes in. Each one makes a flash of golden color as they swim, the sun glinting off of their scales made of pure gold. And like how their scales would not bend to neither time nor the corrosive nature of the sea, neither will they age or fall to disease.

    And dotting the waters between patches of bamboo- floating flowers, a lotus of sorts, begin to pop up on the surface of the water. Together with the bamboo, they make a carpet of green, dappling the light that gets through. There is no wind yet, but when the time comes, they will all make the clearest chiming sound as they are rustled. As each flower blooms, it gathers the stray light from the Energy Core, and begin to glow themselves.

    Back on the bottom of the ocean, and even along the sides of the pyramid itself, appear large boulders of a strange salt. Not only is it resistant enough to dissolving so as to last longer, they also seem to spawn microbes which carry with them the ability to increase chances of mutations in any species that eat them. As it turns out, the Golden Fish, who were already highly mutable, enjoy filter feeding around these salt deposits. They will seek them out, even if it brings them out from the cover of the bamboo. Therefore, in the generations to come, many mutations will twist their descendants, making them a key ancestor to may species.

    Then, a trident is created. It too hails from the bottom of the sea. But not for long, as it is snagged by a growing thicket of bamboo, rising to the surface. And there, is shall be found by the first intelligent creature ever made. A bipedal creature made from a form of calcium even harder than that of the pyramid, bone. Jerimoth the Bone Titan, as he knows himself, looks at all of creation and takes the Trident, swearing to the Powers that Be that he will forever more use it to protect their creations. But, he also grew tired of clinging to the sloping side of the pyramid, and took down many of the fast growing bamboo. The straight stalk is used to weave inbetween the curled portions of other stalks, making a platform. Strips from the outside create lashings to build up walls and even a roof. So too did he use bamboo to make himself a hat. Afterward, a second intelligent creature was made: A wolf, with ambitions to rule. Jerimoth sees this as a sign from the Powers that be, and swears to also serve Wolf-who-hungers, for as long as they rule. He made them a larger house, and even a net for fish, so as to feed him.

    Finally, the skies are stirred by magic too, and The Seasons are made, and to go along with them, weather that spans far beyond the island, out to the furthest horizon. As the wind blows, the houses sway. The Lotuses tinkle. The fish are drawn to them and nibble their leaves, damaging them until they sink below the waters. There, the light that it has stored briefly glows on the seafloor, before going out. Their seeds sprout, and float to the surface to grow new plants. When the rains fall, there is a flush of nutrients, both from the pyramid itself, and the salt deposits on it. The rest of the water's surface flushes with green, and Jerimoth begins to collect and dry this resource too, for food and then later, fire, to keep Wolf-who-hungers warm during the winter.

    And all was well.

    Yeah I think having a period to look over suggestions and then vote be good.

    Also, do we begin making suggestions again now, or wait for you to say go?

    This time we'll go ahead and vote the same way as last time. The new voting could take place after the next update. I have something to learn to set up first.

    [X] Ferris the Obsidian Titan.
    Ferris the Obsidian Titan is born into existence as another immortal being. His appearance is that of giant cyclops like entity made out of obsidian rock with four horns growing out of his head, smoke permanently surround his body, giving the impression that he is wearing clothes. Ferris possesses the ability to generate, control and destroy lava and the objects created by it in any way he desire. Ferris will develop into a very artistic being, using his destructive abilities to create beautiful works of art.

    (Any thoughts)

    [X]Aquariads

    Aquariads are a sentient humanoid race of underwater creatures that live in the deep abysses of the ocean. They have smooth, streamlined bodies that allow them to move quickly and dexterously through the water. Their skin is covered with iridescent scales that shimmer in different colors, smoothly merging with the aquatic environment. Aquariads have wide and strong tail fins, which serve as their main source of movement. They have well-developed webbed hands and feet, allowing them to deftly manipulate objects and navigate underwater environments with ease. Their eyes are specially adapted to see in low light conditions and are able to perceive a wide range of wavelengths. Gills line their neck and flanks, allowing them to efficiently extract oxygen from the surrounding water. At the top of their head is a small blowhole that allows them to inhale air as they travel to the surface.

    Aquarids use a complex communication system that combines vocalizations, bioluminescence, and complex body gestures. Their vocalizations consist of clicks, whistles, and hums, which can be produced at frequencies inaccessible to the human ear. Their bioluminescent markings can change color and pattern to convey emotions, intentions, and ideas.

    Aquariads have a culture shaped by their deep connection to the ocean. They are born artisans, creating intricate designs, jewelry, and tools from materials found in their underwater environment. They deeply revere their ancestors and maintain strong family ties. Aquariads live in tight-knit communities, usually ruled by a council of senior Aquariads. Each group has specialized members who fill specific roles to ensure the group's well-being and prosperity, such as hunters, gatherers, artisans, and healers. Their society values cooperation and they actively maintain relationships with neighboring herds to share resources and knowledge.

    From among the forest of coiling bamboo strange giants of thin physique yet healthy green colour appear. They tower over almost all as their thin sixs leg carry them across the bamboo shouts to where they have overgrown or become just impossible to travel. Chewing upon the hardened flora like a gardener upon a hedge they are simple creatures, filled with with strange lime tasting juices for flesh in their hardened bodies.
