Description The last part in the Ascendancy Aliens series! I mean wow, this game in particular had a lot to choose from. ^^But lessee, what have we got here?

----

The Orfa - These massive black aliens were "herbivores" that evolved on a hostile world. Very hostile in fact, some people acquaint it to being a hellish planet of high pressure, ungodly high temperatures, lava, storm clouds, and sharp rocks. The atmosphere possibly contains poisonous gases. And the Orfa goddamn LOVE it. They eat the bizarre, termite-mound looking "vegetables" that grow on the planet, but are also equally as content snacking on rocks, raw minerals, or even just straight up lava. They'd happily bathe in water as much as regular ol' water.

What makes the Orfa weird compared to other races is that they're not just specialized for hostile Venus-type worlds. No, it's any freakin' planet they please. They don't need an atmosphere. They're not harmed by radiation, heat, cold, chemicals, harsh weather, gravity...as long as it's a solid planet and not a gas giant, a sun, black hole, or the vacuum of space, they'll inhabit it without a thought. Funny thing is, one thing that's fueled their social and cultural evolution significantly is their extremely complicated mating process, which is mainly because Orfa have a total of seventeen sexes. And an Orfa that finds sixteen other mates can produce a litter that can number in the hundreds, not to mention they're pretty much independent from birth as long as there's stuff to eat around. Although first, that said Orfa has to outsmart its other peers. THIS is how they get to become so intelligent later on. Both smart AND all over planets that are otherwise uninhabitable. Another good ally for the Galactic Community.

The Capelons - See that little camouflage colored blob of fibres on the ground there? That's a Capelon. These guys are exploring space cuz their planet's getting overpopulated thanks to how successful they become, and here's their resume. 

These guys are shapeshifters, and camouflage experts which excel in catching scarce and elusive prey animals for consumption. They even manifest some ki as telepathic ability, which affects a predator's mind into being unable to notice the Capelon, and forgetting what it was thinking about. This is when the Capelon can assassinate and escape. Overall, Capelons are known for producing very fierce and very stealthy individuals, although Capelon civilians are more likely to transform into a color and shape that makes them more noticeable. Either way, they have an army, and its purpose is to avoid planetary invasion by linking their abilities together to make their planet practically invisible to enemy eyes. Another good player for Team Milky Way!

The Oculons - These guys evolved on a planet orbiting a bright sun, with a thin atmosphere which does little to obstruct the view of space. So along with many lifeforms on the planet, these guys have good eyes.

So much so for the Oculons that they're practically living telescopes, able to see far out into space. This makes most of their culture astronomically oriented, as they've managed to learn a lot about the galaxy with just their eyes. Many Oculon have grown up in an environment which thinks more mystically than intelligently, making them look a tad superstitious in comparison to other races. They see the kinds of immense wonders floating around in space, communicate with other races despite having little in the way of space travel, and have established that many of their communities attempt to promote a code of honor, obsessed with "the nobility of action and thought". Much like humans, they've still got a LONG way to go, but they do radiate a benevolent charm that makes them nigh irresistible to most races who encounter them.

The Arbryls - Compared to many races, Arbryls are chill. There aren't any animals on their home planet, since it's only inhabited by plant and fungus life. An Eden as one might say. They're also very slow moving, and many Arbryls prefer to isolate themselves, mostly so they can live at their own pace. Most of which involves deep meditating, and staying statue-still for LONG amounts of time, being able to ponder the same questions for YEARS at a time. So to speak, they're also unused to wars and conflicts since their races don't usually have any, so they've came up with several ways to use their ki to preserve balance, not always through fighting
Arbryl can tune in their ki to perform a planet-wide ritual which resonates their ki flow. Those who are hit with it are overcome with a sense of catharsis, and almost overwhelming calm. One well-trained Arbryl can stop two armies from fighting with this ability. Many Arbryl can thwart a planetary invasion by doing this, and using what's left of their ki to disable weapons. Just like the Hanshaks, these guys are damn good at keeping their planet alive despite not being able to hit very hard.

The Swamparamans - You gotta feel for these guys, because they got screwed over REALLY early in their history due to religion. Remember the Frutmaka? How they started worshiping their black hole Graveesha as a god, and became suspicious of any race with the ability to move on their own? THESE were the poor saps they kicked off the planet. Or rather, were about to teleport into Graveesha until a Swamparaman population managed to escape their planet. Tanandanam was the name of the hero who orchestrated the escape, and they hold his name in almost holy regard. His name even more revered since he showed mercy to the Frutmaka race, by growing newborn Frutmaka aboard their ship to give their race a second chance should the original population ever go extinct. 

Now, the Swamparamans have learned to do something unique with their ki. They use their dual minds to build up their energy continuously, and charge it so that after charging, they can release their potential power with DOUBLE strength! This has produced some quite powerful individuals from their race. Beings who use their energy storage ability to guide their ships through space safely, while using their power to avert any disasters headed their way. Yup...these guys can sure kick butt, tell ya that!

Well excuse me, I didn't think anyone'd mind this much. Besides, most of this stuff is fun RP stuff i do with my friends! 

I've already got that you're a really big fan of Ascendancy, I just don't really see any reason to look so deeply into it.
