If you need help with creating galaxy maps I volunteer Omnae. However its worth mentioning it would be made with MS Paint, not Photoshop, so it would mostly be lines showing borders and/or coloured spots showing who owns what planets, not shaded in areas.
Cataclysmgasm!
Question: How will planetary takeovers be dealt with throughout Cataclysm? Obviously, considering you've basically turned the galaxy into a warzone, there will be give and take of planets. How will this work? Same 5000 word rule as normal, or different?
Hey, cool Jan. That is an option I will seriously consider. I want to see what I can get done tomorrow and if I get totally frustrated, I'll call on your services.
Zark: Well, as with fleet rp's if you entrench on a planet (previous owners tired of fighting for it or they let it go in favor of other stuff or you totally destroy their stuff), it's yours irregardless of 5000 words. If you plan on seizing an unowned planet without it being a fleet rp (uncontested in other words) then yeah, 5000 words. Is that what you mean?

Both answer my question. Thank you, sir.
Any questions regarding the Cree'Ar can be sent to me. If you can't find me on AIM, which is likely these days, email me. makesyouaweapon at gmail dot com. PMs work too, but email is fastest. I'll provide any answers when I can get a second.
Short form clarity;
What do Cree'Ar look like?
Think the Protoss from Starcraft, or Species 8472 from Star Trek. Tall, thin, without a mass of musculature, but agile and fast. Cree'Ar fight with short swords or in certain cases, bone blades, a redundant genetic mutation that remains primarily in skey'g'aar, the Cree'Ar equivalent of redheaded stepchildren.
What do the Parrow Lin look like?
If you've played Fallout 3, picture the Behemoth. Basically, they're about twenty to twenty five feet tall, large muscles, sort of orkish appearance. There are two varieties of Parrow Lin soldier, the Parrow Lin themselves, and the Armorlin. The Armorlin wear plate armor and can carry weapons, and can match up with heavy assault vehicles and walkers. The Parrow Lin can laugh off blaster wounds unless they're to a particularily vital area, and fight with their hands, crushing normal sized people under their feet.
What do tek'a'tara look like?
Depends on what they're made of. Basically, when one of your soldiers is wounded, we inject him with a control devide that begins to construct cybernetic devides to control his immune response and cognitive processes. From there, the controls augment the dead soldier with technology, scavaging materials from nearby for metal and base elements. Some tek'a'tara look like walking piles of shrapnel, others have more tightly integrated the components and just look like people with an odd protrusion or two. Think the Borg, and you're on the right track.
In terms of the tek'a'tara created using the cauliflower (I don't remember how to spell it, Omnae does), they are made using the base bilogical materials left over in the soil of the worlds they have been created on, be it base amino acids, or actual decomposed remains. The only missing component was nueral energy used to kick start the bioelectrical processes. Hence, the Jedis.
Can I roleplay as a Cree'Ar?
...why are you just asking me this now? ~_~
The Cree'Ar attacked my world. Help!
Fuck that! It's my world now!
...
:P
No, seriously. If in Cataclysm, the Cree'Ar have attacked your world and you need help knowing how to write it out, I'll be glad to help. You can lose or keep your world, whichever makes for the better story. If you just want them to attack your world for shits and giggles, then we can work through that too.
One thing I would take exception to is someone writing up a roleplay purely to gain access to Cree'Ar/Dominion/Damuen tech. I'm a bit more strict about that, so dependent on what it is, you'll need my or Gue's permission. Since I didn't launch any attacks of my own accord I haven't myself as a player exposed that tech, so for all intents and purposes, it's NOT fair game.
Any other questions, you know where to find me.
And Irtar; shut up.

Oh, can you kill Cree'Ar?
No, they're invincible.
Actually, no, they are mortal creatures, but they take a lot of punishment. They can be shot to death, blowed up, stabbed, you name it. The Shadowcaste, however, have special abilities to avoid death that I have vaguely touched on. In my version of canon, which was very loosely approved by Hex over an AIM conversation sometime after he started roleplaying, Xylon Hexrya was a Shadowcaste spy, so his mortality may have been exagerated for the purposes of political manipulation. But hey. That's just how we roll.

lol... It was supposed to be posted in Cataclysm, Corise.
Corise always has to be contrary...
... he will probably want to repost in Cataclysm, have the other deleted, and pay the administrator fee of one million dollars.

It's actually intentional, believe it or not. My computer has a tendency to freeze whenever I pull up the actual Catacylsm thread (yes, I need to get a new computer). So given the option of posting in a new thread or not posting at all, I chose the first option.
Because I don't have mod powers myself?

Ahnk - what are Cee Ar ships like? Do they have any sound strategy, or are they mass-wave attack sort of people?
What is their civilization like?
