The Colony

madscienced • 4 October 2015 at 5:33 PM

Earth's humans has finally spread to a new world, but, surprisingly, there was already humanoid species living there who managed to avoid the scans to find them. What would the colony do? Will they be able to live peacefully with them?
_____________________________

Short setting i know, but let me give you some more info.

There are humanoid species native to the planet, and they may have a few sub-species. Most have insect-like bases. Will be shaped mostly like humans, with the exception of fur, wings, stingers, ect. LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIES SUGGESTIONS!

Bees: Named because they have stingers, have a queen, and can fly. Look very similar to humans, excluding the wings and stingers. Males are VERY rare. Colors can vary wildly, but all are rather small. Not very aggressive. Names tend to have something to do with Pollen, flowers, food, or colors. Age much faster than humans in childhood, but live about the same amount of years. Usually live in groups of 20-50.
Subspecies: Hornets. Very, very aggressive, female only, kidnaps men. Slightly larger. Fears Primo. Lives in groups up to 20, but not over (due to infighting. They fight everything.)

Mantis: Named due to the barbs going from the wrist, which fold down and remind of mantis arms. Look mostly human otherwise. Very good jumpers, tend to be large. Most of them are male. Age much slower than humans and live upwards of 200-400 years. (Considered children until 200.) Live in large groups numbering in thousands.
Subspecies: Primo. A rare variation of the mantis. Much smaller, tend to be a ambush predator. The only of the mantis species to have wings. Very, very fast but not aggressive towards humans. Hates Hornets and will attack them at every chance. Very, very few are male, leading to a very low population of Primo's at any time. Can communicate vocally, but can also communicate by scent. Proper names are scents, but will translate for humans. Live in groups numbering 1-5, due to ambush tactics, but may group together sometimes with normal mantis groups. The only Mantis type that can fly.

Bears: Furry, reminds of a yeti. Vary in colors from white to black. Very, very large (upwards of 8 feet), but not aggressive unless attacked. Names usually a prey animal or some type of sound. Has a different name in childhood than adult. Age at the same rate as humans. Live in small family groups consisting of grandparents, parents, and children.
Subspecies: Polar. Tend to be even larger (upwards of 10 feet!) with a thick layer of blubber under the fur. Very good swimmers, not aggressive.

Crocodiles/Alligators: Live in the vast swamps, Very aggressive. Human-like, but covered in armor-like scales. Very strong jaws, great swimmers. Fears Bears, Loves to attack Bees and humans. Tend to be as large as Polar's.
Subspecies: Gecko. Much smaller, slightly larger than a Primo. very good climbers, Come in almost any color/pattern. Covered in soft, skin-like scales. Tend to be passive, even nice, but flee if threatened. Very, very common. some may have poison skin, but very uncommon, these are always vibrantly colored.

Ram: Very territorial, Live in the mountains near the Colony. Humanlike, but the hair on their head is more like wool and grows very fast. Hair comes in white, grey, black, and Blue-Black. Males and females have horns, limited to white, grey, and black. Tend to use cut wool as clothing to keep them warm. Tend to be between 5-6 feet. Live and age the same rate as humans. Surprisingly, they are carnivores.
Subspecies: Sheep. Very docile, and only 4-5 feet, produces even more hair and tend to really bundle up in it. Hair comes in white or black. Otherwise the same as Rams. Names tend to have something to do with wool or cloth. Their wool has a high value, leading to many death, and as such, they have a intense dislike for humans.

Rabbit: They tend to have very strong legs, and personality types vary depending on were they live (Swamps are brave, Plains are skittish, forest are calm.) Come in many colors, varying widely. Have rabbit ears on their heads.
Subspecies: Hare. Tend to be violent and territorial, these one have a lot of pride and tend to be much faster than normal rabbits.

Wolves: Fully carnivorous, travel in highly structured packs. Tend to have wolf ears, sharp teeth, and some have a light fur coat. Colors vary depending on region, grey, white, greenish, and brown. No subspecies.

Spiders: These have the top half human, and the bottom half spider, with 8 eyes and a exoskeleton on their hands, which are very sharp. Fully carnivorous, all the other species tend to be scared of them, since they vary wildly in size and hunt preferences. they can jump over twice their height if they have a good running start. Their exoskeleton is very hard, so to attack them you need to aim for the human torso. List of hunting types:
Web: There are several recognized types of spider webs. These tend to be on the smaller side.

Spiral orb webs
Tangle webs or cobwebs
Funnel webs,
Tubular webs, which run up the bases of trees or along the ground
Sheet webs.

Not all hunt via web, so some other types:

The net-casting spider types weaves a small net which it attaches to its front legs. It then lurks in wait for potential prey and when such prey arrives, lunges forward to wrap its victim in the net, bite and paralyze it. These also tend to be small and quick.

Some are opportunistic hunters pouncing upon prey as they find it or even chasing it over short distances. Some will wait for passing prey in or near the mouth of a burrow. These tend to be larger than web or net spider types.

Trapdoor spiders construct burrows with a cork-like trapdoor made of soil, vegetation and silk, and then jump out to ambush prey.

these all vary wildly in size and color, and not all of the same species are the same size and color.
Since there are so many variations, There is no known subtype.


Snakes: Snakes have a lower body of a snake, and scaly backs. colors and size vary widely, depending on diet and location. They tend to have fun scaring spiders, and can dart in to attack very quickly. May or may not be venomous.
Subspecies: Bolo. Always venomous, but hibernate. These snakes have large wings on their lower body, allowing them to fly short distances.

Most of the humans sent are 18-25, and all of them were trained in a specific group.

Ranger (Scouts)

@madscienced thanks! 😊
And for species idea maybe humanoid crocodiles/alligators and their sub species being lizards? The crocodiles being aggressive and live in swamps. Lizards are more neutral and prefer to flee than fight.

madscienced • 6 October 2015 at 4:15 PM

@queens Accepted! I like that you made a croc. 😊 I was thinking of maybe have them work with the new species i put in- a sheep/ram acts injured, lures big prey in, the croc kills it, and they share the meal. what do you think? Also, you can make the leader of the humans if you want. you don't have to though. 😊 Also, added a new species!
Getting rid of my characters and just making more when i have all the types!
