Ok, so I think I have a good idea.

NAME:

Sylthuria.

BIOLOGY/APPEARANCE:

Honestly? I dunno. I guess I'll get to that sort of thing later, however I just realized something- all the races on here (intelligent ones, that is) are humanoid (delsons are an exeption), so I think I will try to do something different with this. I also noticed that everything we try to catagorise into "plants" and "animals". In space, with uncountable variables, I think there will be elements of both catagories in the mix. I'll try to experiment a little with this.

LOCATION:

I have not decided which galaxy they evolved in (can I start my own?), or what the planet is called, but I know a bit about it. It is around 0.8x the size of Earth, rocky and around 0.3 AU away from their star (a red dwarf, so dont worry aboutit being impossible for life to exist).

PLANET LIFE FORMS:

Because this planet is tidally locked, only the "twilight zone", between the bright side and the dark side will be able to be inhhabited by primitive versions of my species (for history section), however I have drawn a "Hunter" (will find a better name), a creature that can traverse across different sides of the planet. (Of course, there will be many different life forms that can exist in these zones, so I will have some fun with those when I tell a story about someone's journey) (do I need to tell you my pitch with stories as well?)

CULTURE/TRADITIONS/RELIGION:

Dunno about traditions, no religion, however, I think that these guys will live by "stick together" or something. They are inquisitive beings, however and I think that they want to know the answers of the universe.

HISTORY:

NOTE: I hope to write a story about how the planet formed, and how it came to being so close to its star while supporting life.

So first, there was a simple society (since I havent decided whether they are animals or plants, I may have to wait a while to write the "genesis paragraph") anyway, after a while they are chased, killed and eaten by the aforementioned hunters, where they stopped wanting to run and set up basic shelters, oftentimes underground (underground ones were more successful). Ok, so being naturally curious, they started to make new things, out of anything they could find (as entertainment, as defenses against hunters, as tools). Ok, so after a few centuries of this sort of stuff, they discovered moving transport (could be a vehicle or some sort of creature), so they could move their defenses around. As soon as they realized this, they started to make more offense-oriented weapons, designed to kill the beasts that hunted them. After that, their population hit an all time high, scientific research became more possible (since they aren't stuck in a hole), and...yeah. Government developed with technology, as did exploration and social...things. They were never able to reach space however, until a space craft crashed on their turf....

so yeah. Thats as much as I got so far. I hope this is enough. Talk to me if you need more details or anything. I also appologise for making you read through all this stuff ;)
