  1. Due to the small impact they're beginning to leave on this world, the first species we encounter is 'Corvus Callidus' __________________________________________________________ Derived from: Crows, ravens, and other corvids. Notable changes: Feathered covering almost completley removed. Stance made more upright and wings switched out for grasping appendages. Intelligence was already high, but it was increased even more. Biology notes Corvus Callidus Are capable of walking on all fours, although it is now rare for them to do it unless climbing trees, as they are a partly arboreal species. They usually live in warm, forested areas, prefering places with more mild weather that doesn't change. Their lack of feathers makes them an easy target for other creatures, especially parasitic ones. They rely entireley on agility and intelligence. Like their ancestors they have an omnivorous diet and can eat almost anything, and are also about the same size. Culture and technology They build their homes in large, hollowed-out trees and logs. They prefer small, tight spaces with extra side enterances so that they can escape predators if needed. One of the most fascinating things about this species is that they have discovered relics and artifacts from the humans. They put these up upon pedestals and gather around them- forming a sort of religion around these snippets of the past. It's unlikely that they've discovered that their planet is artificial, as they do not yet have any true space-related technology. They adorn themselves with elaborate feathered structures, gathered from other avian-derived creatures that got to keep them. It seems like different placements and colours of these feathers have different symbolism behind them. They speak a complex languege made up of clicks, screeches, and harsh sounds.

  2. yay This will be a speculative biology series where I talk about different creatures that live in this world! While certain aspects are rooted in realism, there will be some more fantastical elements! Time for a loredump with an mysterious narrator (TLDR below) Around 5 thousand years ago, a certain spacefaring species that called themselves the humans created an artificial planet that would orbit around a star similiar to our own sun. Similiar to the forgotten conspiracies of who knew how long ago, this “planet” was built on a flat, circular plane with artificial gravity and a complete atphosmere. And on this structure, they created ecosystems. All across the surface of the monolith they terraformed mountains and planted stationary green life-forms that , dug out oceans and froze icebergs. They added the winds and the currents, the tides and the seasons, all artificially managed by a series of machinery so complex that you, a being prehistoric compared to us, would never begin to comprehend. And it was all to replicate the ‘Earth’ that they missed so much. What fools. Do you know they destroyed it themselves? The beings of the past were so imbecile. You still listening? Great! Awful to be the one telling a story, only for those who are listening to be uninterested and uncaring. I’m getting rather off-track here. And last of all, they filled their creation with the once almost lost creatures of Earth, descendants of a few from each species that they’d preserved right before their planet of origin… you know. They were supposed to move those with a lot of material gain to live there, you know. But then, supposedly- it’s what I’ve heard, and it hasn’t all been officially recorded, the entire human species went extinct, from a cause no being remembers. And, right after, a large asteroid struck the bioplane- hitting it directly in the centre and almost spinning it away from its host star, and flinging it into the void of space. Without a star, the ecosystem slowly began to freeze over. The creatures that hadn’t been vaporised in the impact started to die out one by one from starvation and cold. Until a curious little thing flew down to the crater, and touched the asteroid. Something within it began to glow, bright green lights shining from within each crack and crevice, and shards of stone falling away to reveal crystals that brimmed with our kind’s technology, as well as it who lived inside. It was my own ancestor. It was who saved the creatures of the Bioplane- by directing them to a new star. But, because this is our mission, this is what we do, to shape the beings of the universe without causing harm- it changed everything. Everything became different yet the same- it was all the same creatures, mind you, simply morphed and changed so they could live in different ecological niches. That’s what happened 5 thousand years ago. And the Bioplane is where we are going, to see what my ancestor has left behind, for me. TLDR: After ruining Earth humans made an artificial flat Earth that rich people could go pay to live on. Unfortunatley humans mysteriously vanished before they could do that, so the structure is just there now. Also it got hit by an asteroid that had magic crystals and an alien from a godlike species inside, and with those two existing it mutated each animal into a different variation Yay
