Present Setting: As Janus enters the Mid Magedivatian Era, it experiences a gradual warming. The glacial extent of Rienia's ice caps begin to recede, carving the landmasses as they melt for new freshwater bodies to appear in. Due to the moon world's smaller tropic zone, much the ocean temperatures remain unchanged, only rising 1°C globally. In this time the warmer temperatures on land makes life on land even more hospitable, even flourishing in the wet, tropical climates of Rienia. Life on land has begun making its first steps, with a handful of pioneering organisms exploring the new frontier, but life now face a new challenge on land as it grows larger: 20% heavier gravity. Life in the oceans meanwhile has stayed mostly the same, though many new Halikots have evolved to dominate the open oceans. As new species rise up in this time period similar to Janus, this era is now dubbed the Golden Age of Biodiversity.

--Organism Advancement--
> Plant Organisms may be as large as the size 14 increment as stated here
> Terrestrial Plant Organisms may be no larger than size 11 unless they have a means to overcome the heavy gravity.
> Animal Organisms may be as large as the size 13
> Terrestrial Animal Organisms may be no larger than size 10 unless they have a means to overcome the heavy gravity.
> Carbon-based nutrients/minerals, along with Silicates, Calcium, Iron, Zinc, Selenium, and Organic Compounds are now present in the environment and may be incorporated into an organisms diet/evolution if desired.

The female Haaga's tails solidify into a spiked Club-like fin that they use to defend themselves from predators (as a face full of club is enough to dissuade many predators). Males undergo a similar development, but their tails fins don't fuse, only one side of their tail grows club-like and it lacks spikes.

Some meliswirl find their way to cave systems on Landmasses 5 and 6, (Cardiat and Ovulon respectively) where they begin to feed on cave Kelp.

To tear these plants out of the walls and ceilings, they jump out of the water with the speed afforded to them by their tail, and rip them out with a screwdriver-like mouth apendage that they develop, which is capable of turning almost around its axis.

Some larger variants of the Cave Bryum begin bearing fruit for the Caveswirl (>>1218968) to devour - ensuring that the aforementioned animal doesn't rip the whole plant with the roots out and instead only takes the loose sitting fruit.

The Ruby Kelp grows a larger root network, and modifies its old roots into tubers for storing energy and nutrients, especially water. Together, these attributes let it move farther away from sources of water, and they form large fields that cover much of Cardiat and Ovulon.

>>1218817
Some Troc develop a long nozzle at the end of their bodies. These new "Trocket" will swallow water which can later be launched out of the nozzle, causing the Trocket to speed forward, allowing it to easily close the distance between itself and prey. Their mouths have also begun to develop extremely basic teeth-like growths, that make feeding far easier.

Their small size causes them to rely less on killing their prey, and more on ripping off enough material from their prey to sate their hunger, which both their speed and small size aid in immensely.
Also, I vote that Landmass 5 should be called Wrechland

Can someone give me a rundown on what we are and aren't allowed to evolve right now?

>>1219360

In essence, look at the charts: If it's Gen 1-3, it's fair game.

Look at the thread: Anything posted in it, you can evolve, as long as it's not got "Gen:8" or higher on it.

This is a temporary mode that happens every so often to avoid having single organisms that people evolve over and over as pet species while others are ignored, leading to a boring ecosystem.

18 KB PNG

Some Pararoc migrate to the large freshwater lakes in island 10 and landmass 9, now called Yurdlad and Redger respectively. The plant loses the chemosynthesis, becoming a darker color better suited to a diet of only photosynthesis. The Telili stays fairly unchanged, although does begin to regain the eyes that it once possessed but atrophied as they became less active. This is needed because the smaller space, loss of the nutrients supplied through mutualism with the Pararoc, and darker water all make the new freshwater environment much more competitive.

Now I remember what ruins most evo games.

The one predatory species which "integrates" multiple other species to become an overpowered mary sue. See: that giant tentacled poisonous-algae-spewing crab from that otherwise decent evo game.

If this evo game allows "integration" of more than two species then I am 50% sure that it will crash and burn, and that % is only so low because of the evolution speed limitation rule.

the swarmeli develops basic nostrils to smell food, particularly freshly dead carcases, that it uses to smell them and move for them. whenever something dies a crowd of swarmeli will gather and devour it in an instant. awhile they are incapable of defending themselves, they show up in such large numbers that they really don't need too, as one dead swarmeli means nothing when there's still another 999 in the swarm to continue the herd. as a result they become an easy pic for low lesser/smaller predators, such as the >>1218938 and the long tongue halikot.

The marshes at the bottom left of the Split Shelf are shallow, but murky enough that it is still difficult for light to pass through. The Marsh Kelp overcomes this by sprouting a series of long, thin leaves on one end of its body.

The Northern Hawkie inhabit island and landmass 8, now named Noume & Theac. They grow a rough, broad tongue, which is used in conjunction with their beak to feed on the roots of the Ruby Kelp, the only plant that grows in such cold southern latitudes. They also slightly improve on their eyes, mostly making them better at differentiating color to help spot red plants among the dirt, rock, and ice.

Following the Hawkie, the Reagelkilot begins making short trips onto land, developing a pair of short, gill-lined tubes running the length of the snout above the roof of its mouth. By flexing specialized tissue derived from jaw muscles, it can move air in and out, allowing it to exchange gasses without losing too much moisture. These are unable to provide enough oxygen for the Reagalkilot to survive for extended periods on land, but a dozen or so minutes is all it needs to find and kill a Hawkie. The long, thin snout with a end designed for grabbing is perfect for reaching into burrows and crevasses in search of prey.

The Tempestuous Halikot increases in size and the sexual dimorphism increases further, resulting in further changes in body pigment and the shape of axe-head. The Tempestuous Halikot is gray until it becomes fertile in adulthood.

These Halikots mostly prey on their smaller cousins and the Thicc Trocs.

The Tempestuous Halikot population is relatively small when compared to its relatives, few of its species surviving into adulthood. This is mostly due to other smaller predators as well as the aggressive behaviour of females, seeing youths as potential future rivals.

>>1218840
The Thicc Troc's pressure sac develops a secondary role of being a primitive lung, it also develops a skin that is more resistant to loss of moisture. When the Swarmeli leaves the water and starts swarming, the Troc follows them. The troc expands its Gas sac during swarming season enough for it to slowly float 20 cm to 1,5 m above water level, its fins (functioning as cruse wings) and sacs (releasing gas, respectively regular air) aiding it in slooooooowly maneuvering. This docile creature only leaves the oceans during swarming season, being capable of spending 2 to 3 hours above water.

Because of this occasional behaviour these Trocs are now called Blimp Trocs.

The added calcium plate is just added fluff, explaining the structure the Thicc Troc has had for the last two generations.

The Slippery Hawa develops even larger mucus-producing organs, allowing it to create a large bubble of thick, bad-tasting slime around itself at all times. this means it has no predators and can grow larger, but as it is unable to smell or touch the outside world it grows a cluster of light-sensitive organs descended from modified neurons from its brain.

>>1229704
The insulating mucus of the slippery hawa makes it easy for them to conserve their body heat, and so they easily colonise the southern oceans of Rienia.

The Duelling Halikot find that speed and agility are far more important in their little duels than strength, and so they slim down, their thinner bodies producing less drag and allowing them to move faster. Their tail fins also become shorter and more rounded, aiding in the decrease of drag and increase of speed.

The Climbing Allsa preys mainly on Scotera, whose main sense is their keen vision. To hunt more effectively, they grow camouflage to help blend in with the Rustree. They normally blend in with the trunk, but have a frill they can puff up to hide in the crown as well. They also lose the useless webbing.

File: qt-snowca forked tail.png (23 KB, 437x437)

23 KB PNG

Natural selection encourages some populations of QT-Snowca to develop longer, forked tails. This evolution takes place in the south of the Abdominis Sea, in what I'll provisionally refer to as the East Wrechland Oceanic Region.

These longer tails allows them to increase their speed and so achieve a higher catching / chasing rate when hunting prey. However, their surface area / mass ratio also increases, making it harder for them to retain body heat in the frigid water and meaning that they rhave to catch more prey each day than their shorter-tailed relatives.

The Reagalkilot develops stronger legs and even toes in order to make more efficient trips onto land. They've even begun to become more amphibious, but they still can't stay out of the longer for too long. To combat the cold, some of the Reagalkilots closer to the poles grow more fur to cover their bodies and bulk up to store heat.

the kamikaze shivralsa, due to how close in proximity its target of landing is to nerves, develops a deadly neurotoxin in it body, complete with a powerful injecting system. it uses to strong muscles behind the venom sack to squeeze large quantities of venom through the hardened flesh on its mandibles, into the melscorp in a matter of seconds. this makes its killing method much faster then before, as it no longer has to rely on the slow blood based poison that was secreted slowly through its lips

A species of Byrock colonize Eamoht, growing into large, stony piles in the ashy ground. This have some strands of living tissue running through the dead organisms to carry nutrients, but otherwise most of the living plants are on the top of the stack. This is because, as a very young volcanic chain, Eamoht's soil, though fertile, is only a thin layer on top of porous stone. This means that seawater easily seeps the bedrock and into the loose dirt, causing saltwater "flooding" with the tide.

Some of these hawa, like their green cousins, develop sight. These hawa develop three primitive eyes - two look ahead for food whilst the third looks upwards for predators. It also develops a lobe fin to increase its speed, becoming the fastest of the small (size 1 - 2) hawa. The cause of these evolutionary developments is, of courses, the struggle to catch fleeing prey.

And here is 2/2 of the Phylogeny Charts.

So here's what's gonna happen in the next 24 hours (in other words, when I get around to it).

There will be a world event that you the creators will be rolling for that will determine the fate of potentially all organisms moving forward into the next threads. Full details on this will be provided in that supplementary thread.

In addition, the threads that will be following this one will be as follows

> Moon World Janus, Region 1
> Moon World Rienia, Region 1
> Moon World Janus, Region 2
> Moon World Rienia, Region 2
> Moon World Janus, Region 3
> Moon World Rienia, Region 3
> Moon World Janus, World Oceans
> Moon World Rienia, World Oceans

World Events and Regional Events will be far more numerous in these threads, and Mass Extinctions less likely as we will be progressing through time periods more slowly. We will be going from Eras, to Periods (Mesozoic Era for example was comprised of Three Time Periods; Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous).

I will go in-depth on this when we dive into the next thread. Until then, sit tight and keep evolving to your leisure. The World Event that will determine life's direction on the Moon World's will be up in the next 24 hours.

Alrighty folks, the Event that will impact life on our two Moon Worlds from the Late Magedivatian Era onwards is now upon us.

'''''[Celestial Event]''''' '''Fate Lies in The Unknown'''

Nearly a 150 million years have passed since life took its pioneering step from simple multicellular life, into flourishing Biospheres on the Moon Worlds of Janus and Rienia. Life on both worlds has seen many violent events that have tested and charted the course of life and their host Moon Worlds.

Drawing into the Late Magedivatian Era the echoes of time and the world begins to shift once more on our young Moon Worlds. Life continues on unaware of the subtle forces at play that may one day bolster life, or lead to its ruination. And then their are the forces that linger in the far reaches of galaxy that lie in wait, watching for their opportunity.

So here's the deal fellow creators, this next Event, the Celestial Event that will impact both worlds will fall into your hands to decide. Five potential outcomes that will forever change the course of life on Janus and Rienia, and the fate of these worlds is in your hands.

==Event Detail/Rules==
> Each player rolls 3 d6s. You may reroll a single d6 to cancel out one of your own rolls.
> The event rolled the most will be the winning outcome for this World Event.
> Life will be able to continue evolving and growing across the Moon Worlds up until the end of the the Magedivatian Era. Then whatever event is chosen will take effect.
> The details of said event will be kept mostly secret up until the day of its occurrence.

==The World Events==
> 1-2 = Bad End: Life on both Janus and Rienia will face another trial by fire, in addition to the loss of the Base Organisms.
> 3 = Forgotten to Time: After living amongst advanced life for so long, with just a few short generations the Base Organisms of Janus and Rienia will disappear forever.
> 4 = A Whisper From Beyond: A Mysterious and Extraterrestrial Event will take place. Will it be good or bad?
> 5 = Good End: Life on Janus and Rienia continues its Golden Age into the next Era, with its Base Organisms still thriving.
> 6 = The Nomad Comes: A Mysterious and Extraterrestrial Event that will bring with it positive and exotic changes to Janus and Rienia.

Also incase anyone needs to know, you can still create organisms at this time, although rolling for this Event is heavily advised

Good lucks dudes, and may your rolls be favorable.

The colonial hawa >>1227123 grow gradually more protective of their colony's collonyum, becoming aggressive towards other animals.

This pressures the basal hawa, which gives rise to a new species. The false colonist hawa crudely imitates the colonial hawa in order to fool their primitive eyes and graze on protected collonyum without hindrance. To that end, it develops large green blotches, grows larger and even develops fake eyestalks.

Due to competition from the Colonial Hawa, the Long Hawa migrates to the open ocean, feeding mostly off of free-floating basal Bryum but stealing a bite of Collonyum when possible. Without the protection that their previous lifestyle afforded, they are extremely vulnerable to predation. Taking advantage of their high speed and wide fins, the Long Hawa develop the technique of jumping out of the water and gliding for several minutes to escape danger.

Some Melsopede begin inhabiting the large fields of Ruby Kelp. They mainly feed on the tubers of the kelp, as well as the occasional Petroc. The large amount of iron in their diet changes the coloration of their skin, and they get larger jaws to help dig up and chew the roots.

So in all likelihood this thread will be archived in the next 12-24 hours, so I'll just get to mentioning this now.

Just gonna put this out there now that the next thread will likely not go up for another 3-5 days after that point. This is mostly due to having to "reinvent" some map features for the next threads that will again be focused specifically on Region 1 of Moon World Janus.

So sit tight, and don't panic if you don't see a new thread until sometime this weekend, or early next week.

Some Northern Hawkie, taking advantage of their burrowing habit, adopt an almost entirely underground existence underneath the fields of Ruby Kelp and Petrand. They eat the roots and tubers of both plants, and gain several minor changes to assist in this. First, their tongue becomes rougher to scrape through dense, fibrous flesh more easily; and second, they lose the lesser, anterior eye cluster (the rear eyes are kept because they are able to assist in digging I guess). Also, they lose pigmentation, hence the name.

A species of Petrand takes advantage of the fact that Rienia currently has no desert herbivores and grows several times larger.
