Last adventure I am going to make in a while, I swear. Just wanted to do this.
Also: probably not going to update this often.

prologue:

In the beginning, the universe was created,

this made a lot of people very angry and was widely considered as a bad move.



This particular universe was created quite fast.

One of the planets in this universe was one on which complex live would form.

Located in what was later known as the Aris-system.

Looks like we are just in time!

These planets are about to crash into each other and to gather al the essentials for complex live.







On this moment, a meteor with cells on it travels downward to the planet.

This doesn't matter much for live, because it would have been formed anyway.
But this event WOULD lead to the creation of The Lord of Evolution...

You are the Lord of Evolution... well, you will be, now you are just a cell floating around in the Primordial Soup.
You currently have a COMPLEXITY of 1. What will you do?

[KawaiiMelon]

Split into two.

[blueation]

Split into two.

You obviously can't do that yet, because you have no CENTRIOLES!

[KawaiiMelon]

uhhh

Move around?

[Asmodemus]

> List skills, abilities and what you need.

[hurlingPagan]

Develop chloroplasts and centrioles. Oh yeah and an Endoplasmic Reticulum.

[blueation]

uhhh

Move around?

You will probably need a some kind of movement thing for that.
You can create a wiggling tail for 10 Amino Acids (AA). You currently have 50. Create a wiggling tail? Y/N

I need sleep, k, thanks.

[Chwoka]

Create a proboscis instead.

[KawaiiMelon]

Y sure

[Asmodemus]

Sure, make a tail.

[hurlingPagan]

Develop chloroplasts and centrioles. Oh yeah and an Endoplasmic Reticulum.

I said evolve cell EVOLVE

TAIL MAN
ALSO
PROBOSCIS

[hurlingPagan]

We don't need a proboscis because we can just absorb them. Study cells Crash.

[Varkarrus]

PROBOSCIS ANYWAYS.

[Fungo4]

Save up a whole bunch of amino acids to make evolutionary leaps that would be impossible in nature, like a propeller. Or a gun.

[Nehh]

We don't need a proboscis because we can just absorb them. Study cells Crash.

Who cares if we don't need one, probosces (probably the wrong word but hey) are cool. Get one anyway.

[blueation]

PROBOSCIS ANYWAYS.

You choose to make a wiggling tail, that is also a proboscis, cause those are cool.
You use 15 Amino Acid (AA), 10 Fatty Acid (FA) and 20 Adinosine TriPhosphate (ATP) to produce it.

Yes I did forget to mention the rest of the costs...

In the meantime, you burn up 5 Glucose (G), producing 5 Adinosine TriPhosphate (ATP).
ATP=85, AA=35, G=95, FA=40, NA=50/50, DNA=100%

[Tam Lin]

> Develop limestone-esque shell, into which you can hide, only revealing your proboscis/flagellum when you need to move or eat.

Alternatively

> Develop spot of photosensitive pigment on your anterior

[Fungo4]

Ugh what a terrible G/ATP ratio. Find a random floating mitochondrion and suck it up with your proboscis. Or just make one if there aren't any around.

You sturdy up your membrane by pumping in some Keratin and you make yourself more sensitive to light.
These things cost 30 AA, 20 FA and 20 ATP in total.
You now have +1 physical exterior defense!
You now have +1 photon sensitivity!
You burn up 10 G to make 10 ATP in these two turns.

You sense some things nearby.
ATP=75, AA=5, G=85, FA=20, NA=50/50, DNA=100%

[Toast]

Approach the light colored thing.

[Loather of Irk]

Suck nutrients out some of said things with your nifty proboscis-tail.

[Aglari]

Make more DNA and split!

[engineclock]

Grow miniguns. Use them.

[Nehh]

membranebump them.
