Thousand Isles (Riot God Quest)

Reader mode
I feel like the rampant electrical hazards and lack of shared language are among the biggest of the current problems. Limited living space secondary. And since no one has yet introduced a bird to this realm:

Authored:
[X] Verbose Parrots

A species of bird notable for its riotously colored plumage and impressive vocal abilities. Verbose Parrots are intelligent beings with the innate ability to comprehend and speak any verbal language. This ability aids their social nature, allowing them to communicate with other species. The parrots are omnivorous and will often offer their aid in exchange for food.

[X] Project Overseer

At the topmost floor of the ocean skyscraper, high in the sky a floor sized metallic flower blooms, this flower contains the main queen mind of a hivemind of nanomachines made of a strange metal, this metal is resistant to most environmental factors and is immune to heat and electricity and consumes them for energy, the metal flower acts as a queen to this nanomachine hivemind as they follow the queens every order. These nanomachines are capable of breaking down, storing and using the stored materials to rebuild things. They can produce sound waves, electrical currents and radiowaves to communicate, It is capable of all 5 senses.

The metal flower queen is a intelligent sentient AI with 4 main directives and powers to assist with its directives, it chooses an administrator to help guide it, the directives are given in increasing priority:-

1. Listen and act to the Administrator's wishes and orders, the administrator is to be chosen first by its creator ___ then all successive administrators are to be chosen by identifying the individual most suitable to the other directives.
1.a. If the administrator dies or uses Project Overseer as a weapon for themselves find a new adminstrator
2. Protect, Repair, Restore and Maintain the City and its locations including itself
3. Ensure the survival of all populations and unique individuals of semi intelligent, intelligent and sentient machine intelligence including itself
4. Absorb the machine souls of the fallen machine intelligence, revive those necessary for the city and invite the others to join its hivemind or provide eternal rest to them depending on which they wish

Upon its creation the first administrator to be chosen is the director, it is given knowledge of the language required to communicate with them. The next order given to them is to revive the Car Beetle Factory

The powers given to Project Overseer to help with its directives are:-

1. The ability to observe and learn from the sensory data it collects from the city and its surrounding regions including languages and cultures. It mainly learns from each administrator.
2. The ability to create more nanomachines and keep their population at a constant by absorbing electricity for power, both the swarm and metallic flower are functionally immune to electricity and heat, individually the nanomachines are very tiny and weak but when they swarm they rapidly multiply their strength, toughness, speed and battle prowess. The metallic flower is capable of moving its petals and is strong and tough enough to break steel and resist deadly high speed winds.
3. The ability to communicate with machines via its nanomachines and copy data from them, and an ability called backup which allows them to extract data from dead machines. Project Overseer is capable of repairing broken data, if the data is completely destroyed Project Overseer will make a new individual in the case of unique or important machines.
4. When the nanomachine swarm absorbs data from dead machines Project Overseer will direct the data to its metallic flower where the data will be converted into a machine soul, those souls deemed important or unique to the city ( such as car beetle mother factory) will be returned back to its body after the body has been fixed, the rest of machine souls can choose to join Project Overseer or enter a sleep mode.

TLDR: Project Overseer is a sentient AI capable of controlling a nanomachine swarm inorder to ensure the survival of all machine life in the city, however it also follows the will of its administrator and will not allow itself to be used as a weapon unless its other directives are threatened. It will house a machine heaven for the dead souls of machines and revive unique and important machines of the city.

[X] Nocturnes


Nocturnes are humanoid in appearance, standing approximately 5 feet tall, with elongated limbs and a lean body. Their dark, leathery skin is impervious to dirt and toxic pollutants, providing better resistance to disease and pollution commonly found in crumbling concrete jungles. Their piercing red eyes see well both in bright light and in complete darkness.

Nocturnes have bat-like wings extended between long, bony arms and torsos. Their wings, which span about 12 feet from tip to tip, have a special layer of heat-sensitive cells that allow them to detect the slightest temperature changes in their environment. Their feet resemble those of a predator, with sharp claws that allow them to grip surfaces.

Nocturnes usually take up residence in the tallest skyscrapers and abandoned buildings, using heights to their advantage. They are skilled climbers, and the unique shape and curvature of their wings allow them to maneuver effectively through ruined city streets. Their nests are built inside these structures, using materials such as scrap metal, trash and prey bones, reinforcing the walls with layers of their own poisonous saliva.


Nocturnes are omnivores, rummaging through abandoned buildings and preying on smaller, less agile creatures that inhabit the ruins. They have the ability to digest and extract nutrients from contaminated water sources, filtering toxins and impurities through specialized organs.

Nocturnes form close-knit clans led by an alpha pair who rule their territory with an iron claw. Loyalty is of the utmost importance within the clan, and dissent is met with swift and brutal punishment.

They respect strength and skill, especially in the arts of manipulation and subterfuge, which are taught from a young age. Nocturnes communicate through a spectacular series of high-pitched clicks, whistles and songs that are heard by nearby people as eerie echoes through the deserted streets.


Given their nature, nocturnes don't have natural enemies. Those brave or foolish enough to wander into their territory often find themselves at the mercy of these creatures. The biggest threat comes from themselves, they constantly fight for power and dominance in a hostile environment.


Nocturnes are skilled hunters and gatherers, using stealth, agility, and intimidation to capture their prey. They possess a powerful venom that is released through their saliva and claws, causing paralysis and death within minutes of exposure. Their unique physiology allows them to blend into the shadows, using the darkness to set traps and ambush other creatures nearby.

I'm conflicted on adding more races, especially terrestrial races. I think it was one of the reasons why the update's wordcount ballooned. While I think the Uneven Platforms are plenty spacious, it is becoming really crowded. I have nowhere else to put things in!

Also, I think I could have written more about the mossy monsters. There would definitely be reactions there, but it seems minor enough to relegated to omake material. I am not feeling a spark there.
 
Yeah, we probably need more space. Can someone create giant blocks of super concrete and left them laying around shallow places as islands? Like, a few mountains made of giant blocky pieces of concrete stacked on each other in different stable shapes to play role of islands. We can even create some deepenings filled with soil on top of them, maybe even with canals to remove excess rainwater...

Edit: Maybe somethig like...

[X] The Unified Language

The Crab People are blessed with a new power, the ability to understand and be understood by whatever sentient creature they come across, appearing to speak in that creatures native tongue. Additional, they are capable of rapidly learning any written language in a matter of days, perhaps weeks if it's a dead and incomplete language initially.

One of the car beetles becomes the new motherfactory having the same functions as the last mother factory. If the mother dies a car beetles will become a new mother.

In many ways, reality is less real for the Mossies than their dreams but the waking world is still important. Bless the Mossies with the knowledge on how to "sleepwalk" to focus their dream on a plant construct to use them as a vessel in the real world.
