heres a question for everyone. what type of chariter do you see your char as? a few of my impressions are boggle as a gorge/builder; epoch as the "smart skulk" (ie a skulk with many many upgrades instead of evolving to higher liforms). demiguise seems to want to just be a lerk and fly around. parahelion i can picture as quickly becoming a vinilla fade. what are your plans for chariter development? remeber, if you want something odds are you can get it. you are the highest-ranked clik... for now.

<i>the world goes away for a moment, as your cosciousness moves at quantum speeds through the khraa terrritories. forever blackness broken by harsh pinpoints of lights compressed to less then an instant. you are spawned in a new hive. this, too is a protected cave somewhere underground. it is spacious and mostly lined with the same sorts of crystal formations that were in the loremasters caverns. there is a comfortably warm and shallow pool sunken near the hive. on closer inspection it is not natural, but created by the bactirium. there is a single shaft for an exit, only large enough for a skulk or lerk or gorge to fit through easily. it is set too high for a gorge to reach on its own, however. near the far side of the cavern are several beds of plantlife. there are the more plesent tasting plants, and a half-dozen of the most spectacular flowers. enough soft beds for everyone are spread across the cavern, all in healing range of the hive. considering the shortages of war, it is a high honor to get a hive this well appointed indeed. as you take this all in, words echo in your mind dictated by melennia of tradition:</i>
