[QUOTE="paradox42, post: 3060253, member: 29746"] Excellent!!! (cue air guitar) Well, if you [b]want[/b] us to come up with some of the same ideas... ;) Eh, not strictly necessary I suppose, just let us know if and when we start to overlap your stuff. It certainly would be helpful, since right now the only example of creatures at the level we're trying to work is the Akalich, and you probably know the statistical rule that smaller sample sizes give less useful results. I hadn't thought of a Necroverse as a unique being, and it sounds to me like the Omega needs to be, but then again you did make it an Omnific ability to get the template, so maybe more than one individual actually could. On an apparently-related note, those Un-Beings mentioned near the Omega seem suspicious in their placement- could they be Time Lords whose consciousness was dominated by the Entropic/Null Dimension, to the point where they lost all identity including even a name and self-concept? Perhaps those are similar to Necroverses somehow. Or, perhaps those are yet another path of evolution to the Eternal state that just closely resembles the Necroverse. Ah, now see, I've never read through any Rifts books, and have no experience with the game. I wouldn't have understood that reference without the Google search I made on the subject just now. After doing some reading, I think I see where you're going with the Welkin, and how you're incorporating the idea of a Mummy/Revenant into it. Doesn't look like we're crossing paths yet, so that's good. Oh, that they certainly do. That's why it's so hard to choose one over the other! There you go. Cosmic, and the nickname specifically states that it's missing one of the four natures. Looks like you already came up with two of the concepts yourself- now we just need two more! Of course, if you hadn't previously intended those two to represent evolved forms of "lower" undead such as Akalichs or Welkins, and don't think that concept fits their flavor at all, then perhaps we need to come up with four after all. Still, I think congruence is worth taking advantage of whenever possible; makes the whole tapestry seem more majestic if you can draw more connections, you know? [/QUOTE]
