Title: Roll to be a Cell! (Terribly Illustrated)
Post by: Coolrune206 on June 06, 2015, 06:13:21 pm
Right, so I'm in a period where I have a lot of finals right now. I set all my games on Hiatus, but that made me feel almost evil, so I decided to make an easily updatable game. This game is "Roll to be a cell!". In this game, you start out as a basic Prokaryote, or a bacteria, and you try to become a Eukaryote, or a normal cell, eventually becoming multicellular. The way you will do this is by absorbing food and other cells and using the mass inside of them to evolve. Evolving takes a full turn and will diminish your size. Alright, simple enough, let's get started.

Character Sheet is Easy.

Scientific Name of Cell:
Common Name of Cell:
Starting Trait: (Photosynthesis, flagellum, cilia, etc.)
Preferred Color:

Oh, and from the first turn on, I will be illustrating this game. Why do I do these things to myself?!

Scientific Name of Cell: Kirva Vulstoli
Common Name of Cell: "Why are my eyes bleeding?"
Starting Trait: Poison excreting. Specifically poison that ruptures cell walls. Can you say "Necrosis~?"
Preferred Color: Purple.

Added "Preferred Color" to first post. Forgot about that >.>
Also, what will this poison do? Is it a neurotoxin? Will it stun the prey? Will it suffocate the prey, or cause illness?

Purple.

And it causes rupturing of cell walls not immune. Aka necrosis. Spills all the delicious innards out for it to feast upon.

Scientific Name of Cell: Formicimonas sp.
Common Name of Cell: truth be told, doesn't have one
Starting Trait: facultative methylotrophy
Preferred Color: Gram-negative

I'm getting a lot of mileage out of microbiology lately, I feel.

... well, not really, I should probably just start a bacterial game of some kind.

My suspicion is that I ninja'd him with the editing.

oh, you mean YOU? I already drew up your cell :P

Scientific Name of Cell:Biggus Dicon
Common Name of Cell:Diconamus
Starting Trait: the ridiculous ability to create itself from another cell, even though it's not a virus, and is indeed very alive. I'm not even sure this could scientifically happen. Screw it.
Preferred color: Black.

Poison everywhere. Eat everything nearby.
You have no method of locomotion, and you aren't exactly immune to your own poison. The up-side is that it doesn't take effect for several seconds after it is ejected. The only way you have to move is wriggling, which is very slow.

Err. It's implied that a poisonous organism is immune to their own poison. Especially a cell, where there's literally no way it could hold it without being immune.

You have to evolve your own resistance. Also, you are immune to the poison from the inside, because it is stored in a specific region of the cell which is immune. The rest of the cell, and the exterior, is vulnerable. Luckily for you, the poison only comes out of the smaller back end of you, for now.

If I just gave you a way to instantly destroy every other cell while being immune to it yourself, you would be just a teensy bit overpowered, don't ya think?

I was thinking more along the lines of the poison in Spore. Saturates the area around. Does damage over time.

The large green cell wiggles slowly onto the small masses of meat and plant matter next to it, and starts assimilating them. It then wiggles forward to the large piece of plant matter in front of it.

Ah, the wonders of facultative methylotrophy. Start metabolizing hydrocarbons in the water for mass and energy.

could I join
scientific name: Parva gingerberi (small ginger in Latin).
Layman's name: Ginger pox.
starting trait-cilia.
preferred color: red.
effects: destroys and consumes other cells. First causing cellular destruction before consuming the remnants (cellular collapse and eventual necrosis as the bacterium causes premature cell death and rotting)
edit whoops: pervus means perv or perverted not tiny, parva means small or tiny; though  perverted ginger is still a good name.
