Few thing things to say if you do do that1.They wouldn't have any magic what so ever, Faust is not letting anything Draconian in origin get there hands on magic unless she really trusts them.2. Because a majority of Pegasus's flight ability relies on there magic, if this race had wings from a Pegasus they be restricted to short leaps and dashing with there wings.Stick those two things and Im fine with you doing that, otherwise no.

I think we have established that Faust isn't the only deity out there who has magic, she only controls Faustian magic. Perhaps another deity gave their own magic to them... or perhaps someone else did.

Well they will probably end up with magic anyways. Since they have Equestrian DNA they will be more inclined towards Faust and the ideals that Equestrians preach(Its a mix of there DNA and Soul that allows the Equestrians to so easily cooperate) they will gain the trust of the Equestrians faster then any other race, and when I do get the magic giving megaspell again they will probably end up being the first to receive it.

Well I'm finally done with school. Sorry I didn't respond keyguy, I was busy. If you want I can reply now but until then I am not.

You can reply, the ships did just now leave the system, and are still in realspace and capable of picking up messages.

So many limitations that Duck is putting on their own race.

This is why we can't have nice things, but if you found a way to create a descendant Equestrian race with still different ideals and altered, but still Faustian magic (which someone should find a way), that would be nice. Even removing the Draconian origin and more of the evolutionary kind would be great also.

There's already many races based off humankind, so if there would be also for the Equestrians, there goes.

I'm putting limitations on people copying or using part of my races.

Also I didn't say they couldn't have different ideals, im just saying they be more inclined to the Equestrians ideals and views. There will also be a way very shortly for you to get Faustian magic later, has to do with the uncovered tomb thing.

Writing your inclinations in your DNA? Since when did the Equestrians have a genetic memory?

Also, as there is a spell which can give magic, it seems that giving magic doesn't actually need Fausts consent or interference, thus meaning anyone could potentially have magic.

Although then, i have more considered to put them as extradimensional beings as the latest creations made by [REDACTED], which were cast out from their own universe by a inter-dimensional hole that appeared during the fading years of the Cataclysm.

There goes. Work begins.

Well some of there memories and other things are in there DNA. The rest is in there souls.

And while yes it doesn't require Faust's consent, she is still perfectly capable of stripping it away from anyone at any time.

Accepted!

One thing that bothers me is that they have more powerful Arcane things, while I dont mind the telekinesis or telepathic communication Arcane is a centerpoint of Faustian Magic. It was what allowed for the invention of every major magical invention, and sparked the magitech and industrial revolutions.

Definitions of arcane also differs from race to race.

Arcane in Faustian Magic is defined as the using pure magical energy. Its basically anything to do with pure magical energy without converting it into other forms for spells.

...well damn, it is the same.

Anyway, what i meant is that my race can only utilize pure magic and not earth, water, fire or blahblah magic, which provides some disadvantages to them.

Howdy folks. I think I joined one of the early iterations of this RP back on MCF. Does anyone know how long ago in IC time the Broodmind Conflict happened - if it was even in this RP to begin with? Thanks.

It didnt occur in this RP's timeline of events

Yeah, alternate universe. If we kept the name Star Empires and just increased the number, this would be Star Empires 4. There was a reboot that wiped away the events of the original, it's been about 53,000 years in-universe since that RP began.

Name of nation: The Tyranids


Species: Tyranid Genus

Description of government: There isn't one unless the Ultimate control of the Hive Mind is a Government

Description of military: The Tyranids are an extragalactic composite species of hideous xenos that is actually a space-faring ecosystem comprised of innumerable different bioforms which are all variations on the same genetic theme. The Tyranid race is ultimately dedicated solely to its own survival, propagation and evolutionary advancement. The Tyranids collectively form a monstrous superorganism that travels across the universe in their great Hive Fleets of biomechanical Hive Ships, systematically consuming all other biomatter to enable its own rapid evolution and reproduction. All Tyranid organisms are synaptic (psychically-reactive), and each Tyranid creature within a Hive Fleet shares and contributes to a communal Hive Mind, which allows the trillions of beings comprising the Tyranid Hive Fleets to communicate and organise instantaneously on a staggering scale.

The mentality of the Tyranid approach to warfare can be described with the phrase "quantity has a quality all its own". From the "lowly" Ripper, to the deadly Hive Tyrant and beyond, the signature of the Tyranid species is that they overwhelm their foes with sheer numbers, reproducing massive numbers of highly virulent organisms in record time from the biochemical soup that they derive from the biospheres of the worlds that they consume. The components of a Tyranid Hive Fleet travel almost exclusively in large groups known as swarms that possess specialized biomechanical creatures for destroying and consuming a wide variety of prey life forms. Tyranids have evolved sophisticated methods for facilitating genetic transfer across species boundaries. As a result, a significant goal of any Tyranid invasion is acquisition of useful new biological traits from other lifeforms. These are used by the Hive Mind to enhance the Tyranids' effectiveness in consuming new worlds to gain more of the necessary organic raw materials for further reproduction. All Tyranids are reproduced by a single, highly intelligent female bioform known as a Norn-Queen. A Hive Fleet's Norn-Queens are the most important Tyranids within the fleet, for if they are injured or killed the Tyranids cannot reproduce their numbers from the captured bio-mass. As a result, Norn-Queens can be found only at the heart of the largest and most-well defended Tyranid Hive Ships.

History: The Tyranids first appeared over the distant Planetary outpost of Tyran thus gaining their name. The Tyranids. The current Hive Fleet is Hive Fleet Chimera a seemingly more advanced fleet actually making contact rather than only destroying everything.

Other (Culture and the like): Tyranids fleets have an effect on Warp Travel and communication. If this effect works on other forms of FTL and communication remains to be scene.

Once a new race is consumed Tyranids will incorporate useful DNA from said species into further evolving themselves.

The Hive Mind controls all aspects of the Tyranids. The Hive Mind is an incredibly powerful Psychic Entity that does not exist in the physical plain. As a result Tyranids cannot be mind controlled in any way. If an attempt is made at reading or controlling a Tyranid it is likely the Hive Mind would actually take control of the Attacker.

For a species to communicate with Hive Fleet Chimera a host must be given and incorporated into the Hive.

I should point out this will likely be the only Hive Fleet, which might explain the change in behavior, because all galaxies are now believed to be devoid of life due to the destruction, and the milky way is now completely cut off from all other galaxies for at least the next 500k years.
