You know there is a training/sports area on board for such reasons? ;)

I put up some interesting theories and viewpoints.
Victor_D wrote:The absence of males among the Loroi survivors is as conspicuous as it is baffling...
I surmised that in the Loroi military tradition, males are not usually allowed to partake in combat...
Loroi do not have the male sex of the species at all and reproduce asexually...
Or perhaps the sexual dimorphism is so small that we can't tell the differences. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_dimorphism
Or perhaps their male overlords got killed or overthrown in the combat.
Or perhaps the genders are having war on each other.

Viruses come from space!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panspermia
Spain Influenza is also suspected being from outer space.

Edit.

Forgot to mention, I heard once that humans are very weak. The musclefibers of chimp can pull 3 times more force than ours.
But we are optimized for endurance and precision, so if Bomber keep walking, he may tire up the loroi following him.

Yes, chimps are stronger than we are. I recommend you search on youtube about that topic. If I remember correctly there are some impressive footage and documentations about chimps and bonobos on there, that show them hunting. You should however not watch that if you have a weak stomach...
We do not have that information about the Loroi. I think there musclefibres are very human like in that aspect.

Sexual dimorphism is nothing that we humans did not have in our own evolution, or even today. I think I read somewhere that human males are statistically about 10% taller than females, but if you look at one of our extinct ancestors, for example various Australopithecus or Paranthropus (as they are called nowadays) sub species, you see that this can vary greatly. Those distant ancestors had a far greater rate of Sexual dimorphism, females were up to 50% smaller than there male counterpart. However, this can tell us a lot about how they lived. :geek:
Or perhaps their male overlords got killed or overthrown in the combat.
Or perhaps the genders are having war on each other.
I would like to see some human player asking that... :)

As for the game: I´m out today GMing my usual RPG group. So another post from me could take a while. I hope you don´t mind. Will try to answer your PMs if you have any questions or suggestions. So, feel free to write me.

Actually, we do...
[url=http://www.well-of-souls.com/outsider/forum_loroi.html]The page on the Loroi in Insider[/url] (Emphasis mine) wrote:Males are smaller and physically weaker than females, but since physical strength is not a Loroi strongpoint, this is not especially relevant -- in terms of valued telepathic and psychokinetic powers, a male is as likely to be powerful as a female.
This would mean that Loroi are probably on the weak side of species. If Insider takes a human point of view (which it often does), that would imply that Loroi are physically weaker than human (though maybe not by a great margin).

Otherwise, for the fun of it, I drew a quick sketch of Softsapphire.

That could mean that Loroi are indeed weaker than humans. It however does say nothing about the musclefibers of the Loroi, as there are weaker and stronger humans, too. ;)

very nice sketch...I cant draw a human figure to save my life..about the only way I can illustrate any character is to have someone do the base for me then mod it out to suit my tastes....

such as this

I'm here. Just waiting for Suederwind to prompt me with the birthing. I'm really just trying to get Stormwind out of the action to rest in her room.. so others have a chance at the interaction... as opposed to me pushing all the RP.

Well, I am thinking about skiping forward to the next scene, after the child is born and this shouldn t take that long. I hope thats ok. However I am open for other suggestions.
There will basiclly two meetings: one for the human and one for the loroi side. In this meetings some things about the near future will be discussed and other things will be explained.
This next post may take a while for me to write, so expect it tomorrow and feel free for more RP in the meentime.

Made a picture of the upcoming new system for you, as I was toying around with photoshop a bit. Edit: but please bear in mind that I am a total photoshop noob. :oops:

I can make a quick and dirty system map in paint, if you want, too.

Hey charlie... you did not include a description of Charles eye color! :)

also you might want to put a label [ Personal History, Family Members, Personality Profile... etc... ] over the various sections of your character sheet as the spoiler listing does not tell what each section holds. you have to open it all to find any specific data unless your lucky and open the right one eventually.
