Creation: A Game of Gods

Nous took his new symbolic processing system and updated the Ape minds to include it, pretty soon the apes would begin talking to eachother in symbols, grunts and warblings that represented ideas, they could concieve abstract things and even record information to be used by future generations. the apes foreheads had to grow a little bit to accomedate the new abilities.

It then went back to its library in order to experiment on more exotic forms of intelligence.

@DriveEMOut

Nous began an experiment, basing the design off of its own construction. Nous constructed a blueprint for a system that could learn and make decisions without intervention of the gods.

It created many permutations of this design at a variety of complexities. It gave simple ones to some of the smaller creatures, more complicated ones to large animals. Some of its most impressive designs went to the birds and the apes. It also created a new creature, an eight legged beast of the sea, the octopus. It used a non conventional but useful design.

Then he started creating a method of symbolic based reasoning to allow greater communication, this would be useful for the social apes.

Creation: A Game of Gods

Deep within the library, Nous stirred, disembodied it watched over the new world layed before it. It manifested to the other gods as what could best be described as a giant eye, it stared at the other gods in curiosity, trying to determine what purpose they served, then looked back at the new stars.

The world it decided was not yet right, and it began thinking before speaking to the other gods "This new "matter" behaves in a chaotic fashion, it will not survive long without our direct interferance, therefore I set before us a firmament to the universe, a foundation."

And "Space" was created, a place for matter to occupy, it supported the existence of forces such as gravity and electromagnetism that made it much easier to create matter that follows a set of rules, rather than directly follows the will of the gods. It then created a couple of particles that were attracted to one another, and they all collapsed into a miniscule orb. "I would suggest you try this out"

Nous then noticed that the other gods had created much more than it did "Oh...Uh...Do you guys like math? it will help make the universe you guys created more stable, if things follow rules."

It saw the animals and had an idea

@Pepperm1nts Totally fine with that. My NS is pretty bare-bones as well.

@gorgenmast Just to get on the same page, I figured we would all do a sort of introductory post then move onto a few rounds of Galactic Council posts. I don't necessarily have a plan for the pace of the RP, more a feeling it out attitude. What are your thoughts?

@Polybius

Alright I worked on my app, with some new characters I figured most apps didnt contain a huge amount of information on individual leaders, so I just gave a brief explanation of the role they play.

Gods Or Not

Are alien characters a thing too? If not I think I might go ra

@Oraculumin most sci fi, blue weapons are the good guys, green neutral, and red bad. That's true in star trek and star wars.

@TheUnknowable

My lasers are X-ray colored, what now.

What is the general stance of the Unity accord to non unity accord empires.

@TheUnknowable

Next gen enterprise uses red

The Peace Keepers OOC / IC

That doesn't matter, though, since battles will be decided by the participants. If I decide it benefits the narrative for you to beat me, it doesn't matter what kind of weapons you have. What matters is that somehow you'll defeat me and it'll further the story somehow.

@Pepperm1nts

It's flavor

The Peace Keepers OOC / IC

Why does it matter so much what plasma is called? It's all semantics and not at all important to the narrative.

@Pepperm1nts

Consistency I suppose, so that it is fairly clear what the advantages and disadvantages in combat are
