Long ago in a galaxy far, far away
#

There was a spark, and a will. A voice, and a word. And in the unchained wilderness of space, things got rolling.

The first forms were painfully short. A child building a sandcastle, poorly with no reference. Judgement, curiosity, insight, time. When the creations became unruly, they could be washed away and started again. Patterns. Energy sources, abundance. The solutions are all there, we are waiting on the problems. They are there too, time and perspective.

The slug people begin
#

They dont like salt and have a dry sense of humor. Naturally, they leave a wet trail when they move about and touch things, so they wear gloved jumpsuit to keep the moisture on the inside. The fat slug people are the ones in charge. It’s a size is power setup and they reproduce by being cut in half. This makes the power economics interesting. They pray to a Galactus type entity as a god, but he is just a cosmic giant and thinks of them as funny looking noodle things that he likes to tell stories to. Slugs like to eat pretty much anything. They eat up meat and plants and such stuff off the ground as they roll over it. Sharing a meal with the slugos can get uncomfortable if they have never eaten with anything besides another slug. When they gloop over the serving bowls and plates it typically ends the night.

  • size is power
  • reproduce through ritual cutting in half or war
  • retard strength
  • after they get a certain size they get psychic powers and like to mess with the grasshopper peoples machines

the other guys

a big thunder is going to come. If we have slug people were going to need grasshopper people. They think theyre better than everyone else because they can get around fast with flight and high jumping and extremely powerful kicking. They are hat wearing people and like pocket watches and big coats and machinery. Noble tinkerers and machinists. Oooo interesting, they have tech priests but slug people have retard farmer strength and regeneration and maybe immortality. I like it.

  • strong legs
  • flight
  • good with machinery and tinkering and invention
  • ruling species of the planet
