Yisini stared intently at the small glass plate on the counter, hesitating before placing the plate under a microscope. For once, the Allbirther felt like she was on to something, on the right path to her goal. After a moment of correcting the zoom levels, Yisini finally got a good look at the sample she … Read more
“Is it possible to become a Decay Lord?” Retvik blinked, caught off guard. This seemed to happen to him a lot lately. Mostly because he had made a new friend. Or, rather, finding an old friend from the past. Retvik and Phovos were now firm friends, and Retvik had been enjoying the Raptor’s presence a … Read more
The second Tenuk stepped outside, a massive, furry, clawed hand wrapped itself around his throat. Ct’Era, the heavily-built tank of flesh that she was, sneered as she lifted Tenuk off the ground “You violated us.” “I-I-I j-j-just wanted us all to be happy…” “By violating our minds?” “It was just dopamine…” “Means nothing. You betrayed … Read more
For Inktober, I decided to draw things from the Phoviverse. Here’s the 31 things that I drew. Day 1 – Kinisis Kinisis is the personification of the Phoviverse, the universe’s avatar and its creator. Nearly 14 billion years ago, the deity settled down in a little corner of the multiuniverse and gave birth to four … Read more
“I can’t BELIEVE you are going through with this insane plan!” Tenuk shouted as Retvik put on his armour. “I can’t believe that Skyan convinced you into doing all of this!

“What the fuck is that smell?” Esdee gasped as he activated his gasmask. “Smells like… Like a lot of things died down here…” “I think that is exactly what happened…” Ksidee replied. The D-Class Ksa adjusted his shoulder torch, increasing the range and brightness so both he and his video recorder could see what was … Read more
It had been a quiet day at the main government offices of Palaestra. Quiet enough that Retvik and Gath were able to have lunch together in peace. It turned out that, because of the recent bad weather across Portalia, a lot of the local Thanatians had decided to hibernate for the winter. That meant that, … Read more
“There’s this place I planted a seed for, I really like how it came out, but I’m hesitant to let it spread elsewhere.” “You say that about a lot of things, Kinisis.” “Yes, but this time I mean it. This world I created. Well, not created. Pushed? Prodded? What’s the term?” “I don’t know, you’re … Read more
While most species think that luck and superstition are silly, old traditions, the Thanatians still cling on to their ancient, environment-worshipping beliefs.

Due to the lack of lips on many Phoviverse species, very few of them actually kiss one another.

Cassids are known to wrap their necks and tails together, although most social greetings are done in the … Read more
Panvok races are weird when it comes to genders. While the majority of Panvok races generally have females that are larger than males, the Vrekans have larger males who are all-round stronger.
