Don't be oversensitive ;) Loroi look Europoid (I resent the term Caucasian) because, well, that's how they've been drawn - to appeal to a certain audience ;) I wouldn't infer from that that the Soia modelled them after Europeans who certainly at the point of their creation didn't even exist. I'd als...

However, whats more important: we do not have the full picture, just various puzzle pieces that don´t always fit well together and who ever is reading about that topic should be aware about that. I especially love how the media misinterpret human evolution ;) (Or any other complicated subject that ...

{Negative, again.} It was getting frustrating for Dr. Black. He had isolated the component substances and tested them on the Loroi blood and tissue samples, but nothing seemed to work. Dr. Murasaki had left him alone in his office-slash-laboratory-slash-personal junkyard, and for that Ctirad Black ...

And yes you would notice them. they were short and very broad by comparison to modern human. If properly clothed, you'd hardly recognize them by their figure. It's not like hey were dwarves, they were just a bit shorter and stockier, but nothing too outlandish. There are people with similar physiqu...

They look pretty much the same as human skulls to me:

I don't know if Arioch has some explanation for the Loroi's physical shape, but I would like to see a reasoning behind it. Especially since humans are so crappy. Who placed the theather right next to the sewers, as would say some engineer. Or that we can choke to death while eating. It's an accepta...

The amount of Neanderthal introgression in modern human genome is still a hotly debated issue. There is hardly any consensus on that. One would guess Europeans to be more closely related due to their co-habitation with Neanderthals in Ice Age Europe, but there is little genetic evidence for that. As...

That is very unlikely given the fact that the loroi have been around for atleast seventyfive thousand years prior to humanity ever existing. I suppose you could say they based them off our more primitive ancestors but given their superficial similarity to us (Caucasians to be more exact) i find tha...

Ctirad Black entered the Doctor’s office and was taken aback by the chaos that reigned in the room. {Is this his office, or a store room?} He took off a heap of papers from the chair and sat at the desk, where a computer console was showing results from multiple biological samples which were subject...

Even during his short walk to the Doctor’s office, Black’s brain was already at work on the problem laid before him. He hadn’t had time to study the alien DNA sequences in any detail, but even a cursory look had shown that it was very different from the human DNA template – one of the reasons Black ...

[No, don´t be afraid. We need to find a way to ease the pain of the injured Loroi. I do not think that our... painkillers will work on them. Maybe, we both can have a look at that problem together, when this... situation is over? (...) Maybe you can start working on that... medicine against the pai...

Oh gods...

Black entered the Medbay just as Dr. Murasaki was explaining the human sex ratio. {It’s not precisely correct,} he wanted to add. {In reality, among humans male births are slightly more numerous.} But the presence of so many unfamiliar people, many of them being attractive alien females, squeezed hi...

There is an interesting hypothesis why gravity is such a weak force in our Universe - according to some models, they're 'leaking' into spatial dimensions we don't perceive due to their extremely small size. This 'leakage' weakens the effects of gravity in the normal 3-dimensional space. (Also, in Ou...

Mr. Black was dictating notes and his computer automatically transcribed them into writing. Not that he needed to do that; his eidetic memory rarely forgot an important detail, but he had found out in the past that translating the chaotic streams of consciousness circling in his brain into spoken wo...

Ctirad Black was sitting in his chair in the Science Lab, reviewing Dr. Murasaki’s findings concerning the Loroi anatomy and DNA analysis. {That’s impossible,} he thought. He remembered discussing the topic with his academic colleagues in university back on Earth. Any aliens we might encounter would...

Hi, let me introduce my character. I'll jump into the game momentarily. --- 1st name: Ctirad (of ancient Slavic origin, means “honourable advice”, pronounced roughly as TSTI-raad) Surname: Black (anglicised because the character is annoyed by people mangling the original ‘Černý’. Prefers to be addre...

Effects of low gravity? The biggest problems colonizing the Moon and Mars would not be effects of health but the dust. As I understand the lunar soil was a logistical nightmare for the Apollo crew, and that stuff is what you have to settle on when colonizing the moon. For Mars well those constant d...

The effects of lower gravity on human body are one of these endlessly debated topics where you simply cannot reach a definite conclusion without *getting there and trying it for real*. I guess we could test it in orbital stations with simulated 1/3 gravity, but building such stations would not be mu...

{BIG GRIN!} We try.. thank you for the high praise! You could join us if you wanted too. I'm more than willing to explain how it works! :) The more the merrier {Thats what Stormrage said...}! Well, I have zero experience with RPing where all these rules are involved. But if it's not as hard as it l...
