It's also been said that a Fain creature would be very scared when seeing color for the first time. Bone white trees imply that they either don't have lignin and chlorophyll, or at least for the former, have some sort of extra thing on top. Perhaps their bleachedness is related to awakening's bleaching? During Fain's investiture field life-cycle, they bleach themselves?

 

 

You're right,  it was a long day, okay. But anyway. No invertebrates have *more* than 4 limbs, right?
 

 

 

I really don't think it's needed to justify much beyond that they evolved (or were made) from a six-finned fish. Perhaps the weird lizard-fain-primate thing they "evolved" from (I'm not convinced the aethers didn't just make them) used the extra hands to climb better, and then used proper feet to run.

They're like singer gem hearts, forming from a leakage of investiture from the spiritual. in DSP we saw "waves of energy coming from the tamu kek", in the cognitive and physical. I doubt that's good for people.

Huh. That could make sense, though there’s still the photosynthesis and sun-protection problems. I suppose it doesn’t matter too much, though, so we can ignore it. 
There are fish with up to ten fins, but some of them are on the top and would have to move around in order to get a hexapod. 
Actually, that can be our second arm pair - top was originally specialized for climbing, while bottom was for basic tool use.

From what I know, humans were still in the middle of the food chain without fire. Most species of Homo were predators, but none ruled their ecosystems.

I'll think some more on this tomorrow. I just got Mistborn the Deckbuilding Game and I got to play it.

Yeah, but I’m not sure fire elevated humans to the top of the food chain. I’d put it more at the emergence of settlements and food surplus.

Well, those were kind of the effects of fire. Humans post-fire did not need as strong jaws to chew cooked meat as they did raw, so the jaw shrunk, giving more space for brain growth.

The former, I have no idea, maybe they feed on colors outside the visible spectrum, for the latter, investiture heals that passively. With the ambient investiture we discussed earlier, it wouldn't even be a noticeable drain, and post-shattering they might be able to metabolize food into investiture or something using the Tamu Kek.

I just kinda assumed the ShoDel can feel the Rythms through their Tamu Kek. It feels right.

Yeah, we can go with that.

One of the seeds is going to land on A gas giant. Somewhere.

Specify which one, please?

Well, I need to figure that out.

I'll look at the systems tmrw.

Honestly no

Iaira, the large gas giant around which RUin's and Devotion's world will have a seed land on it, and have life created. They will hunt minds.

I'm going to create a weird atmosphere on Nerakalis-  71% nitrogen, 28% oxygen, 1% Co2, and the freaky thing is 1% ammonia. Yes, I know the ammonia will be removed quickly. There's plants for that.

Wait how did the ammonia get there

It'll be fixated by microbes eventually

The ammonia got there because I wanted it to, and there's gonna be some tree or smth that makes it.

@DragonHeir do you have any ideas?

I’m not too up to date as to what’s going on - do you mean my world, or this ammonia-y one?

Either! You seem clever.

You could have fixed that by posting yk. What do you think about my ammonia world?

Spoiler

the rule against Double posting is like, barely there.

How about you tell me exactly everything, then I'll try make judgement.

Nerakalis will have an atmosphere of  71% nitrogen, 28% oxygen, 1% Co2, and  1% ammonia. This is a higher oxygen level than earth, and of course, the Ammonia in the atmosphere does some interesting things. It would make metallic ions and nitrogen a lot more bio available, meaning bigger plants, with possibly some more metals in them (Which might help counteract the flammability of a high O2 world)

There's not going to be any sentient creatures on this world- but the plants, fungi and animals have a giant gestalt conciseness
