Point of Reference #3
Fuschia - much fun is had from smashing and re-forging planets. Strange outsiders come to watch you at work. You also throw debris towards the nearby black hole, and observe strange energies at work there. After a few eons you take a break. The result is disorderly, but you have polished your skills.

Status: Starbound
Affinity: high energy physics, star formation, planet formation*, gravity*
Thom (thomas.berubeg) -You manifest as a cold, dark, ethereal being. A parasite, stealing energy as material is violently sucked into a great black hole - the discarded shell of Fuschia, now alive with the essence of another, Nihil. You absorb energy and sense many possibilities ahead. Will you stay in this form?

Status: Localised energy construct
Stored Energy +2*
Affinity: none
Nihil (hbar) - Your first manifestation is brief. Journey finds you, or rather pulls you into the path of its energy before you have time to gather your thoughts. The energy is irresistable. Yet, you are not gone. You skirt the edges of this reality and the universe offers you a new home it thinks you might like - a singularity, a black hole. Could this somehow be inverted, or made even larger?
-
Status: Localised energy construct
Affinity: space-time distortion*
Journey (Vertinari118) - you devour the nebula, and devour Nihil, if only for a moment. Other beings tug at your edges, but you hardly notice. Frequencies increase. You are nearing the speed of light now, perhaps already touching it, or somehow exceeding it... You do not intend to collide with anything else, but it will be hard to stop!

Status: Massive exotic energy form
Stored Energy +2*
Affinity: high energy physics, subtle energy manipulation
'
i' (Kentharu) - your nebula gives birth to twin stars, smaller but much more stable than before. Your child star 'iBen' chases after Journey, feeding upon its turbulent wake ; nothing but energy and turmoil surrounds it. Your child star 'iTom', left to its own devices, gradually surrounds itself with a stable system of planets both large and small. Your awareness is split between the new stars. For now you keep flowing back and forth through the interstellar dust.
-
Status: Nebula
Stored Energy +1*
Affinity: star formation, planet formation*
Khuqua, The Overseer (Dragonson) - you first manifest as a third star born from the turquoise nebula of 'i'. An ordered system of planets arises. Everything is stable so far, if a little sterile ; though many possibilities exist here, if you chose to remain. You gaze across space and disapprove of the turmoil caused by Journey and Khnosos.
-
Status: Starbound
Affinity: planet formation*
Karadan (Neverwonagame3) - you find a surrogate star quite easily. With a little quantum manipulation here and there, over millions of years, you gently ease into orbit, just as close as you want. This small, humble, gentle, red-orange sun seems to have many billions of years of life ahead of it. You embrace warmth, your atmosphere changes, fluids flow into oceans on your surface - oceans that may be habitable to more kinds of life? For now your crystalline offspring continue to sparkle and multiply.

Affinity: delicate matter, gravity
Crystalline Lifeforms: Giant Pylons (electromagnetic manipulators), Sapphire Waveforms (versatile), Aquatic Starforms (durable)
Boriss (Charles Li) - escape is your goal. Not just the blue star, but this encroaching cloud known as Khnosos also... But after so much work to make your orbit perfect, it is hard to break it. It is not until the death-throes begin and hot matter is ejected that you escape its grip. The blast changes you. Hot matter is absorbed ; Fusion inside you is no longer a sporadic flicker, but a constant flame. You are now a star yourself, a very unique one. your companion planetoids have also changed - some have been lost altogether, you're not sure how exactly. Khnosos still envelopes you menacingly.
-
Status: Starbound
Affinity: matter-energy conversion, gravity x2*
Khnosos (Seon) - you ensnare and detonate the unstable blue star - it doesn't need much convincing. There is a convergence of forces - the energised planetoid inhabited by Mask of Phobos transforms strangely. You expand, but are disrupted, part of you seems to be leaking out through a hole... You watch Boriss flee, though that one remains within your reach.
-
Status: Sentient nebulous object
Stored Energy +2*
Affinity: high energy physics, subtle energy manipulation
Mask of Phobos (tuxedohamm) - as you pass energy through this planetoid form, it begins to spin faster and faster, becoming more and more energised, transforming into something other than ordinary matter. Suddenly Boriss, the unstable Blue Giant and the enveloping embrace of Khnosos are all gone. Yet, they are not gone. It seems you are now localised in two places at once ; one full of energy, one less so...
-
Status: Wormhole?
Affinity: high energy physics x2, space-time tunnelling*
Lupus (Northen Wolf) - the intruder known as soulspirit still sleeps on the icy moon. It is not playful. It does not resist. You desire to redistribute this interesting substance, water. You find that some of your tools, these bits of debris, are made of water themselves! In your enthusiasm the moon is almost blown apart, reduced to a small frosty core. Water vapour percolates through the atmosphere of your gas giant. In some places, at just the right depth of cloud, under the close glare of your red sun, the water molecules are fairly warm and dense. Friendly molecules circulate. With surprise, you discover that you have been seeded by soulspirit. Your awareness is drawn inwards to the gas giant and its new airborne biology. Is there someone else here too? Suddenly, however, you notice that the nearby blue giant binary star is getting unstable, as these stars seem to make a habit of doing. And the golden form of Journey is growing to fill the heavens beyond...

Status: Planetbound
Affinity: gravity, atmospheric manipulation, water*
Basic Lifeforms: Cloudcells (airborne, chemical converters), Cloudfeathers (airborne, photosynthesisers)
Areiole (Abaddon) - you find that the universe has selected the atmosphere of Lupus as your point of arrival. You first exist as subtle waves of quantum energy flowing through the warm, moist clouds. Perhaps intentionally, your interactions help life to begin here. Where to, now?
-
Status: Localised energy construct
Affinity: atmospheric manipulation*
Quatana (TerrisH) - you slowly unwind your moon from the larger planet beneath - further and further away, until the orbit it broken. Turmoil results. Your old parent planet crashes into the sun, throwing out new clouds of material as it spirals in ; all the survivors change position, seeking new equilibrium. You pass close to Neinom, tearing open its surface with your gravitational pull ; likewise, huge tidal surges deform your surface. But you miss your target, Neinom's moon. You fly out further from the sun, until you collide with the planet behind Neinom, this one a cold yellowy ball of dust and rock. The impact destroys you both. Much material is lost. It takes eons to reform, but your will is strong. Eventually you have a new water planet, more mild in its manners, kept warm by a thick atmosphere. This space is unhygienic - Neinom has sneezed microbes into space with every medium-sized asteroid impact. Some find a new home in you.

Status: Planetbound
Affinity: water, planet formation*
Basic Lifeforms: Ventblobs (durable, chemical converters), Drifters (versatile, chemical converters)
Neinom (merciary) - your home system endures great turmoil instigated by Quantana. Your surface is torn and battered. Your biology is almost made extinct. Yet, this is not completely contrary to your plans. More water and useful materials rain down from space. Tectonic plates arise and create unique habitats on the surface ; their movements recycle material between the crust and core. Evolution advances. Microbes toil away to transform the atmosphere with Oxygen, but it binds to residual metal elements in the oceans and is absorbed at the same rate - this may take a
long time... Meanwhile, you sense a disturbance in your local energy - a clandestine intruder?
-
Status: Planetbound
Affinity: organic chemistry x2, core manipulation*
Basic Lifeforms: Geyserblobs (durable, chemical converters), Greenscum (durable, photosynthesisers), Green Drifters (versatile, photosynthesisers)
Automata (Thlayli) - you enter this realm with a specific agenda. You find synchronicity with the one known as Neinom. Masquerading as an extension of its consciousness, you get to work, expanding on the existing biology, keeping yourself within the bounds of a single tectonic plate. Conditions are not yet favourable to the manifestation of your biological templates ; intermediate forms arise to speed the oxidation process. Will Neinom allow continued presence here? Should plans be made to relocate?

Status: Planetbound
Affinity: organic chemistry*
Basic Lifeforms: Geistosponges (collective, regenerative, photosynthesisers)
Phil (Condor_green) - your will is to create life. As so it is. But these are strange beings, not biological, not even made of conventional matter. You resonate with them. Their perceptions are unique and fascinating. Although you can only create a few, you spew some towards Mreset. And as they ride the umbilical chord of exotic charged particles, seeing the sun and starlight for the first time, these colonists are already beginning to mutate...
-
Status: Planetbound
Affinity: heavy matter, heat, non-biological life*
Exotic Lifeforms: QuickSilver Mites (durable, sensitive, energy converters)
Mreset (Matt0088) - your moon is surrounded by flashes of energy as you learn how to create anti-matter at will. These are dangerous forces. The atmosphere is disrupted, and before you know it the surface is irradiated. Few lifeforms survive. But evolution takes another step. Things have hardly recovered when a cluster of strange trespassers float down from the skies. They begin to feast on the luminous seams of exotic heavy elements which poke out from your rocky surface, in-between the pools of bubbling liquids which harbour your native sulphur-based lifeforms. Can all these beings co-exist?

Status: Planetbound
Affinity: chemistry, core manipulation, matter-energy conversion*
Basic Lifeforms: Gigachains (collective, chemical converters), Requesterers (versatile, symbiotic, chemical converters)
Exotic Lifeforms: QuickSilver Mutants (durable, social, matter-energy converters)
Ui (Ninja Dude) - you gently push Mreset-Phil towards Lupus-soulspirit. Now both these systems are within reach of Journey and Khnosos - no doubt you have your own reasons. You spend some moments talking with Essencelessism and Eirikkr, sharing with them your perceptions from your vantage point, still lurking in a plasma jet above the centre of the galaxy.

Overexpansion detected. Please brace yourselves for lack of graphics in future updates.
The sleeping ones exist in a state of uncertainty. Stats will be revealed if they are active again. Currently only soulspirit (Metaliturtle) is inactive.
The black hole known as
Petro is now NPC, Pete Atoms has confirmed he is no longer playing.
@Northen Wolf, I think you mistook your red star (binary system) for a solid planet. I guess the drawings and stuff were misleading... I switched your efforts to your gas giant instead, hope that's OK!
@Neverwonagame3, I completely missed your revised orders I'm afraid.
IMPORTANT REQUEST:
In future, could you all please include your in-game alias (if different to your forum name) at the top of any posts containing orders or any In-Context communications. This should make it a little easier for everyone to know what is actually going on. Thankyou
