Over thousands of years humankind spread life across the myriad worlds of their galaxy. Once they perfected [[#Lite]], an energy source they could merge with their very own substance they attained a new level of technology once only dreamed of in the most fevered mind. Nigh immortal, indestructible (by our limited standards), and able to use fully disposable items of immense power, their culture ran across known space. In this time before, things were good. But like all things, it came to an abrupt end. The [[# | Over thousands of years humankind spread life across the myriad worlds of their galaxy.

+ | ---- | ||
+ | //"The only universal message in science fiction: There exist minds that think as well as you do, but differently." | ||
+ | |||
+ | With no exception, all of the new cultures of 10K80 are machine life, born from the remains of Humankind, Aegis, and Life Crystal. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== _ The Ants and their Network ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | //"It has yet to be proven intelligence has any survival value." | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Ants are a collection of hive-mind machine life which formed from what was left of the automated systems of Humankind. Twisted a bit by life crystal, each Ant is 500 meter look metallic beetle with many drones that cling to its surface. All Ants are linked together in a hive-mind, are both space-faring and capable of planetary flight, and the progenitors of the Network. | ||

+ | ==== _ The Bunnies ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Rampant across the stars, Bunnies are the bulk of the new denizens of the universe. Wherever there is Network, there will be Bunnies. Each Bunny is a mechanical creature 6 to 36" long, and operates in both a bunny mode where it runs and hops, and a human mode where it stands up bipedal. There are 4 species of bunnies, known as The Four, The Five, The Six, and The Seven. Each species has a thumb and a number of fingers equal to its name. The Four have a somewhat human hand, and the other with more digits as their name suggests. Each Bunny is cloud stored in the Network, but just base code. So after a fashion they aren't easy to destroy. If a Bunny dies it simply loses its memories and will get rebuilt by the network, starting with its base code again, not unlike being reborn. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Bunnies live in loose family networks of 8-28 (4d6+4) called Fluffles. They have ~human level intelligence and love to tinker with antworks, most are known to have annoyingly chipper personalities. They are a pacifist society and embrace trade and haggling - bartering their antwork creations across all Networked worlds. | ||
+ | ==== _ The Cyclops ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== _ The Gorgons ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== _ The Kobol ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | //"I don not fear computers. I fear the lack of them." - Isaac Asimov // | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Kobol are a race of human-likes that have one primary goal: Build the most advanced computer possible. Physically the Kobol are machine life in the form of human children with both long pointy ears and hair in vibrant colors. | ||
