Standard Faction/Race Information Sheet Format

[Iv121]

Well owls are also not a great idea as a random species evolved on Earth but apart from being basically "hardcoded" into the universe ACH sort of managed to give em character.

[cats]

If it were up to me, I wouldn't have owls either, but I feel like a request such as that would ruffle a few too many jimmies.

[ACH0225]

Owls do have the ability to manipulate the world, with talons. They also are omnivorous-predatory, meaning they have a reason to evolve intelligence. I think you all are just speciesist against non-humanoids.

[cats]

If they have a reason to evolve sentience, they would also have a reason to evolve a form to fit it (early hominids' forests began to dwindle, they changed anatomical specialization and intelligence to fit their new environment). That's why we wouldn't see smart grazing herd quadrupeds. If they had a reason to be intelligent, then they would also have a reason to not be grazing herd quadrupeds. I'm not arguing to have owls removed because, as I said, jimmies would be rustled.

Okay, so what if I make them non-grazing non-herd psionic quadrupeds?

Anything quadrupedal is not going to happen unless there is a very good reason for it to exist, and psionics would require centuries of technological advancement beyond our own (with the exception of, maybe, natural telepathy). Anything based off of MLP is not going to happen. Anything blatantly ripped off of any other franchise (unless it's a legitimate, serious science fiction universe with no name, character, etc. similarities) is not going to happen. There might be a few exceptions, but MLP is definitely not one of them.

If you can't be original, there's no place for you in the RP, but I know for a fact that you can be.

Just one question: Is the Sonic the Hedgehog-related stuff I have so far allowed to stay if I change the name to a level where you'd have to be a serious sonic nerd to find the similaities?

If you were to draw a member of the race, and if it was to look like something from sonic the hedgehog, no. You can make an original race with one or two hedgehog eastereggs. Maybe.

I think I can manage that much.

On another note: how do you intend the timeline-entry sheet to be used exactly? I am kinda confused by the stuff on the sheet itself.

Each entry on the timline should follow that format.

What the hell happened to the RP section while I was gone?

We found a box labeled Columbia and snorted the white powder tha was in it.

Pretty sure it was full of coats but idk anymore.

"Broke into some French reds and, how should I say... Colombian whites."

I formulated a plan that terminated the RP and planted the seeds of a new one. The forum liked it for the most part so this is the start of the process.

Spoiler:

Alrighty, we still need a beginning faction sheet format. I think a timeline is the easiest way to arrange the history, then we can adequately keep track of correlations and we wouldn't have to write another completely different sheet for post-galactic introduction. The downside to this would be that there would be tons of entries and each person would have to keep track of their information, but we'd get the most comprehensive information. We'd still have to have a bit at the beginning, though. Every timeline entry would have to abide by the entry format.

If a faction is divided into major provinces or districts, then basic information will need to be written about them as well if there are any notable differences.

This is very rough, so if anyone has a suggestion, feel free to slap it up here.
