Thread: Updates to Old Clade Terminology
Post: RE: Updates to Old Clade Terminology

Thread: Updates to Old Clade Terminology
Post: RE: Updates to Old Clade Terminology
Now that I think about it “human and xeno” literally just means “baseline” if they’re in the biont category. I now officially see no reason there has to be a distinction. Human is a subclade of baseli... |

Thread: Updates to Old Clade Terminology
Post: RE: Updates to Old Clade Terminology
Baseline originally was meant to include humans and xenosophonts. I’m okay with making it a modifier and I suppose xeno could be a modifier as well…? My biggest reason for making baseline be a major c... |

I don’t have too much time to throw my two cents in but I agree with much of what Todd has said, and I can break down individual thoughts more clearly in a list:

Thread: Updates to Old Clade Terminology

I’m fine with all types of virtuals being rolled in as a cultural group! Considering that there are also “downloads” in the setting which don’t have a specific clade this makes sense to me. So six tot... |

Thread: Updates to Old Clade Terminology
Post: RE: Updates to Old Clade Terminology
So from the above information, it seems like the new primary categories could be the following:
Biont:
1) Baseline
2) Provolve
3) Neogen
Synthetic:
1) Aioid
2) Alife
3) Exotic ... |

Baseline: Any species, human or xeno, that naturally evolved to sophonce
Provolve: Any pre-sophont species (and perhaps aio... |
