Are you implying the existence of magic when you "enchant" something to life?

Well, I say enchanted, but I mean a chemical reaction to the special kind of rock from that planet along with other chemicals brought by the Vior'la.

I personally love trying to bring Magic into Sci-Fi RP's like this, Hell, my guys have no idea that a form of Magic is influencing their society

ehhh In my honest opinion, magic is giving people an excuse to be overpowered. From my experience magic has been used to do "great" things, like magically make someones armor vanish or destroy a company of troops

Although my opinion might not bear any weight since I'm new, I have to say I agree, magic is often used to do things without logical explanation. It can be limited by applying certain rules though, so that it won't be overpowered.

Dude, don't get me wrong, God-moding rules are still in effect, If someone is being an asshat and pulling op moves out of no-where, then i'll crack down on them. I'm just saying that, much like The Force in Star Wars, It can add another layer of depth to the universe.

Okay, MS Paint, here I come! I'm assuming that this is taking place in the Milky Way. Correct me if I'm wrong, Mattmanganon. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE MAKE A BETTER MAP IF ANYBODY HAS THE SKILL TO DO SO.



Here's what I need from people:

|Civilization Name:
|Preferred Color (which you may not get):
|Second Color:
|System Name:
|Location: (angle); (distance) [these are estimations; distance is in intervals of 5,000LY on the map, angles at intervals of 10 degrees]

[repeat for all systems]

ex:

|Civilization Name: Kerbal Interstellar Program
|Preferred Color (which you may not get): Red
|Second Color: Black
|System Name: Kerbol
|Location: 269; 23,000 LY

Alternatively, go into MS Paint and edit your civ into that map!
PS: Galaxies are very, very big.

|Preferred Color (which you may not get): Orange
|Second Color: Silver
|System Name: S-1 (System -1 (the first system they've known, where they came from)) (it's the brightest star(s) with the boldest outline), the rest were simply labeled as S-2, S-3, S-4, S-5, S-6 for they didn't put much thought into it

|Civilization Name: Damocleus Adeptus
|Preferred Color: White
|Second Color: Red
|System Name: T'arus
|Location: Not sure if this is possible, but the black circle on the map is where the main empire is and their biggest and closest colonies on other planets. The white circle line is how far they've explored and also inbetween the black circle and the white circle line there are a few smaller colonies.



Also about the magic thing. The idea wasn't to make myself overpowered and I never intend to use magic throughout this rp. I just needed a way for the rock guys to reproduce.
Also also, I realise they might not have explored that far if you think about what Nacnak said about being on the Scutum-centaurus arm, it's going to be far away. They can go there, but they just haven't had the manpower or a reason to go there yet.

One thing, I might be very slow in posting, as it seems we are in different time zones. Now, I don't know this for sure but most of you post when I sleep and so I assume we are on different time zones. In case you are wondering, I live in the British Time Zone +1, so one hour ahead of british time.

Nation Name: Bazuuku Space

Race(s): The Buzukar

Male Buzukar



Female Buzukar



The Buzukar are a humanoid race with extreme dimorphism.

The males can be described as almost-goblin like, without the long ears and a long swathe of black hair coming from the back of their head. The males tend to be more numerous than the females. The males do not have sex, they fertilize the eggs but intercourse like humans know it is a alien concept to the Buzukar. Despite this, the males have taken a large diversity of forms as a result of natural selection and Darwinism.

The females are almost elephant-like in nature, and are very huge in comparison to their male counterparts. Females can be rather uncommon, as only one in a thousand Buzukar are females. As a result female Buzukar tend to call all the shots and pilot spacecraft along with be armed with slightly less crappy weapons and armor. Despite the size of a female, they’re not too hard to put down. Like the males there’s multiple female forms as a result of Darwinism.

Female Buzukar lay many eggs, majority of which made into food with the fertilized minority let to natural hatch and either grow up or die on their own terms. Darwinism does not stop for babies.

Like any logical sapient species the Buzukar are very omnivorous. To the point where they have no qualms about cannibalism; it would be a waste of dead bodies to just let them rot or bury them in the ground. They also tend to really eat anything they think they can, be it rocks, dirt, strange space slime- even poison is fine for them since what is one dead Buzukar from poison?

Racial Traits:

+Lots of babies

The Buzukar reproduce like rabbits despite how unromantic their reproduction is, as in theory a female in one year can lay five thousand eggs that get fertilized by one hundred males. Considering there tends to be millions of females on a single planet, doing the math can show why there are a quadrillion Buzukar in all of Buzuuku space.

-Very high morality rate and lack of shit given about their fellow Buzukar

With so much population Buzukar tend to let death be commonplace. Not like it matters to them since there’s too many of them to count. Their lack of empathy for their own kind does make it impossible for them to care if someone gets shot they liked or if they lose lots of their men since they can always make more.

Civilization Tier: 2.9 or so. They’re very far spread and everywhere to the point where other civs near their place likely will end up spending some time exterminating Buzukar on worlds they wanna colonize from time to time but the Buzuuku empires tend not to give a damn if you kill 100 billion of their kind to make your planet wide theme park.

They cover a lot of space, but they aren’t that influential and are much more a nuisance than threat at worst even for weaker societies. The only societies under serious threat are planet locked ones who are in the Stone Age.

Technologically they tend to try adapting whatever techs of the nearby faction.

Other wise they’re content on using big flocking blocks of scrap metal and garbage with a FTL engine strapped to it they call a “spaceship” and fling live Buzukar at enemy targets since there is so many of them Buzukar they minus well.

There’s too little standardization to list off, so instead have at some random example of technology seen in Buzuuku space:



Population: 1,000,000,000,000,000 [A Quadrillion Bukuzar, number tends to go up and down by the year]

The numbers can deceive since the Buzukar are not a unified species and tend to die a lot as a result of not giving a damn about morality since there’s so many Buzukar it is very common to massacre Buzukar and invite other species to murder trillions of their kind if it means keeping their populations in check. It is also to help with the natural Darwinism by introducing predators

Culture/Society:

Buzuuku space is not unified, nor does it ever intend to be. For the Buzukar species run by darwinistic principle and natural selection, and don’t intend to ever change this proven effective means of life. The ones that reproduce more get to have more kids and die knowing that its children will die some time in the future too and make kids as well hopefully.

Buzuuku space even with all the factions lacks any semblance of religion internally, any religions being made from external forces. For the most part none of their kind seem to care about their short, miserable lives and are fine with nothing happening after death because it is better to forget you lived at all that die knowing you’ll have to constantly your experiences in some fairy land or shiny place or hell land.

There is no organized military, let alone unified government. There are tons of large interstellar chiefdoms that constantly fight in ritualistic warfare, which has militarized them, but lacking any military standardization or organization means they are easily manipulated, and tend to be more than happy to sell millions of their kind as slaves for a couple anti-matter bombs.

Slave trade outsiders may note tends to be very easy with the Buzukar, sometimes the seller even selling itself with the thousand other slaves it sold with it. The Buzukar are so numerous that it is not a concern to them as slavers proliferate the Buzukar and as longa s there are Buzukar they have done well.

They have proven vulnerable to military factions who see them as a pest on the universe, or by factions who see them as great target practice. Especially due to no major measures taken to defend, let alone attack other factions beyond the chiefdom that tries to drag a alien society into a perpetual war with it.

The Buzukar are open to listen to what other species have to say, but don’t see the point in listening too much as it will all be gone when they die and much “knowledge” to them tends to be deemed worthless seeing that the current way works effective as far as a Buzukar generally is concerned.

History:

One of the greatest mysteries of the Buzukar is how such a chaotic, self-destructive and locust-like society could ever get of their tiny rock without eating it all before they even thought of farming.

The Buzuuki empires have many theories, suggesting that maybe they didn’t start so abnormally hyper reproductive, while others believe some alien god of some sort made them as a sick joke to play on other societies in the galaxy.

Regardless it is not know just how long the Buzuuku have existed, estimates being very inconsistent and overall full of shit due to Buzuuku empires tending to constantly carry out historical revisionism and making up tons of ideas of their past. None of which ever true.

If one did the research though, there indeed seems to have been something artificial about the construction of the Buzukar’s biology…
