Oh wow! Now, in keeping with the original thread, we should really include Crustacea and Chelicerata in some way connected to the main species we are developing here.

However, that species itself is much like a Trilobite, living in the upper atmosphere. This does not mean it flies. Yet.

Still around, OP?

>>8513140
No! We use crazy-ass COSMIC RAYS to communicate (which are actually particles, but shut your damn mouth).

In fact, we are somewhat like the Jellyfish from the original thread, who used bursts of radiation to communicate in their warring with the infrared-speaking Squid. Awesome Bioluminescence is the way to talk in this universe, it seems.

So, what kind of sick culture produces such a monster? Let's find out!


Out of the next TEN (10) posts, the THE ONES OVER 50 will be chosen. If the same thing is chosen multiple times, then it is of higher importance to the trilobite society.

CULTURE:
>Art (sculptures, paintings, etc)
>Capitalism (a crude form of currency
>Hedonism (sex, wine, food, excess, etc)
>Hunting (the killing of nonsentients)
>Philosophy ('what is life')
>Politics (they love fucking each other over)
>Survival (only about surviving, very little culture)
>Unity (keeping the species together)
>War (fighting their own race or other sentients)


If you can think of something decent, add your own.

Our society is a nasty one. Factional, hedonistic groups compete with themselves and one another in the pursuit of knowledge. You kowtow to the alpha in charge, or your snaky body gets eaten. Our race has tried to philosophers and had philosophizing phases a lot in its history, but all of them have burned out. It's still a popular fad to be philosophical.

Now, are we religious?

Ah, but that wasn't the question. You've scored a lot of this race, can't you let one aspect go?

>>8513775
So we have some radical pagan groups. They worship an old pantheon of crazy trilobite snakes doing crazy trilobite shit. Maybe they believe they can become one of those crazy trilobite snakes.

>>8513816

Right said races are completely aware of us and they hate our guts - but, being fully aware, they know we could crush them if they dared resist. It's a good life being a trilobite snake.

We're the bosses of the galaxy, but it can't all go our way. What crisis are we currently faced with? It doesn't have to be insurmountable, just present.

Aw shit, looks like I killed the thread. I'm sorry guys, I had an unavoidable appointment.

In brief summary, I think it's pretty clear our trilobite snakes of rage were the bosses of the nautilus civillisation mentioned before. It will be cool if we could add coherency to this and the prior thread.

>>8515259

Oh what the fucking fuck...

>>8515342

Agree.

'sup, folks.

OP of the original here. The stuff that's gone on here is awesome, but I just have my own input.

There is absolutely zero reason to adher to how I did things in the previous thread. I didn't have a structured table of what to go through. I came up with what was needed on the spot and you should do the same. Otherwise, this is awesome. You just need to be more versatile. Don't try to jump through my footsteps, try to come up with your own shit.

Also, as a small note, when I say ecology and gas-based, I mean, they live in a gaseous atmosphere. That does not mean to say "they fly" or that they float around on a gasworld. So there's no need to add "land-based" to the equation.

So, technically, Crawling + Gaseous (High Altitude) = Mountain-dwelling trilobites

Although, crawling through air with rapid movement sounds much cooler, although that'd require some natural buoyancy.

In any case, I am perfectly fine with everything in this thread. This shit's crazy.
