Saara Mar doens't look in the least brawny, but appearances can be deceptive when your muscles are metal-cord and gravitically powered, as this *unnamed* barbarian discovered.Related content

I never knew she was that strong -- Learn something new every day, I guess.

No. Saara isn't "made" like a machine, or by anyone. It's just how her people have altered themselves over a long period of scientific advance.

So,
__do they come into life thru natural terms then are augmented by other means,
like nano-tech within the body from birth set to make these changes when the body is ready?
More on this sub' please.
P.S. I remember you from when I collected furry-stuff a few years back.
Got most of my profolio's from a catolog company called MailBox Books now called rabbit-valley comic shop.
Had to quit the collecting, it was starting get out of hand.
Still look in from time to time though.
you'know, just to stay a little furry.

AT one time perhaps -- which would have made them more like Borg, I suppose. But for the last millenia they've been born the way they are as adults, except young of course, with all the aumentations.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Let's,
__see...
Your saying that these augmentations over the millenia became so intertwined with there DNA;
That now the "changes" are as one, written into the DNA codes itself?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Deliberately made part of their DNA.

They,
__where able to reengineer there own DNA to this level in the beginning,
or did this happen over the millennia thru selective recombining?

It took quite a bit of time. by our calendar, the Kjola fisioned the atom about 2,000 years ago. (More like 4,000 by their calendar, but that's another matter.)

Thanks,
__for the answers on this.
So were only about 1/60th the way there,
in conparsion to there time line?
At this current rate we should be at this point
in about 3,930 years, yes?
(Give or take about a century.)

If we ever get there... the 14 species belonging to Dalmirin have never seen as obtuse and agressive a species as ours, and has doubts that without their assistance we'll make it through the next century. But their assistance comes with a price -- "Here's the box. This is how you work it. If you open it up or try to tamper with things you don't understand, it will self-destruct. You can't handle this sort of power."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I,
__get the feeling the Dalmirin see our species as children.
& "the Box" is like a powertool, we see that it will make the task ahead
much easier but our capability to handle it is not strong enuff.
So we are left to simple handtools, the task takes longer but we grow
in knowledge, strengh & respect for the powertools.
With this newfound knowledge, & respect it is then,
we are capable to handle the powertools.
Yes?

It isn't so much our capabillity to handle "the box" -- worse, we might actually figure our the basics. It's that we can't be trusted -- the know-how would be immediately stolen by the Top Ape -- Microsoft or Lockheed or whoever. Then used to build superweapons to intimdate other Ape Nations. And meanwhile the xebrov radiation (just made that up) would poison the environment. The Apes might even try to use the weapon against its makers, and then they would have to be chastised. Bad Apes, bad! Gives a smack on their collective blue and red heinies.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah,
__yes. One must show trust by "growing-up" before one can be trusted
to use the power to do what "the box" intended to be used for.
For when we as a species can grow out of our superficial problems with money & power.
& work as a true group of equal beings. Mabe then, we can start to grow.

I myself don't truly belive that man is from "one species" like ape.
Like one point in our genitic lives, some of us where born with "tails".
Last I recollect this being recorded was in the 1950's.
We as a species share so much, with this planets DNA structures.
That somehow we only seem to come from "one species"? I find this to be highly strange.
But to my knowage there is not much solid proof to be found on this theory.
But I remain true to my self, & Question what I can, & continue to serch for answers.

If Humanity was a hybrid of many other species, it would turn the science of genetics on its head. Among the most obvious problems would be the 98.5% of our genes that closely resemble those of the Chimpanzee's. Another is that we aren't interfertile with any other species, not even our close cousing the Chimp. If that's so, how would we have ever assimilated anything of other species.
But geneticists do allow that most genes are shared by all advanced life-forms on Earth -- that is, lifeforms more complex than bacteria. But the theory is that these commonalities are passed on from species as they evolve, and radiate, from common ancestors long, long ago. Billions of years ago long. So yes, in a way we posses traits of the possum, trout, and wooly mammoth, but only as much as *they* share the genetic foundations of life on Earth with *all* species.

Yes,
__evolution is intristing isn't it.
But in it all; one still has to wonder, & ask questions.
Or is there more to being what we are?
All I know is that something happens when a species
dose something as different as asking a question,
then acting on it to answer it.
Even if it means leaving the way things have been done.
It's funny to think that we owe most of we have now,
to all those that decided to go against the grain.
I say thanks to all who saw/see the world with a differnt view,
& persued there dreams/passions.
I'm proud to be "differnt".

"Or is there more to being what we are?"
Technically, no. To quote Popeye, "I yam what I yam and that's all what I yam." What else can we be but what we are?
But I know you mean "is there more to being what we are *than we know about*."

Oops,
__sometimes my thoughts are faster than my fingers.
Well put, though.
I'm rather injoying this written converstion.

Humm,
__what happens when we finally get to
crack the secret of how the brain works?
That, will be a day...
Mabe our species will take a leap forword.
(or)
The higher-ups will make puppets out of us all.

Yeah... The moment we can make artificial intellences of our own order, Microsoft will take out a patent, the Pentagon will classify it top secret, and the Chinese will use it to spy on us all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes,
__for the most we as a species.
We haven't learned to behave.

Lets hope he has good health insurance. Do most cover impalement?

I don't think Dark Ages barbarians can spell "impalement" or sign a check.

Then I guess his only options are somehow mutating and getting regenerative powers/immortality, or necromancy.

Or he could scream "I"m a fictional character! Even if I die, I'm alive the next time someone picks up my book and starts reading!"

Indeed, and if he becomes someone's favorite character, fanart and fanfiction can abound. True immortality!
