[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 9519733, member: 6796468"] The 77s are a Carbonosilicate life form from Loqren 77! Though they're often just called "Sevens". They all exist as a silicon exoskeletal structure containing their carbon-based interior behind a smooth and sometimes translucent (or even transparent) exterior. They have at least 80 known body forms ranging from insect-like walker forms to telepathic radio towers with hundreds of little feet so they can slowly move around, and of course tubes with legs to function as energy conduits. They're very adept at photosynthesizing and can even form fiber optic structures in their body to direct light to focusing lenses to generate short range cutting lasers. They don't build starships out of materials in the environment, they grow starships out of their offspring. Dozens of Sevens are required to 'build' a starship with their bodies, then link together into a living ship hive-mind rather than the ship having an AI. Their most common bodyform when starfaring, however, is a hominid form to better interact with the greater galaxy as other beings have built it. Also 77 is what they call themselves rather than the 'number of their planet' or their number in some list of species on the planet. They chose it for themselves because of its pleasing aesthetics, so they get annoyed at being called 'Sevens' instead of Seventy Sevens. Vin really liked the idea of giving their humanoid form a very "Kamen Rider" feel to it. And honestly? I don't hate it. [/QUOTE]
