Nah that's cheating
To tell the truth I can't wait till my "Ascendancy" mod is finished so I can write a game story involving my beloved creation the Terrenesi Federated Empire!
I know I've said Icarans are a loved creation and they are because they tell the story of Humanity from a different "human" perspective, (they are also a near and dear creation of mine).
But my first "what if" alien race came to me when I was playing with my toy army men when I was 8 at the time I did not have a name for them, yet already I had begun fleshing out the idea of my later creation (little did I know).
When I was ten (and still drawing, before I realized I suck at art) I drew a warship for the race I had been thinking about since I was eight, and suddenly the name dawned on me "Terrenesi" and I decided to start looking for a place where I could fully develope them. It happened a few months later when I found a forum that had "boardwars" (interactive stories) and throughout that story I used the first encarnation of the Terrenesi.
Over the years they developed into a highly complex society of 4 castes all distinctive in temperment, physical characteristics (they are all the same "sepecies" yet each has different physical characteristics).
Essentially switching from caste to caste I could tell the same story from completely different viewpoints and not even have to switch races.
Well anyway I've ranted on about my beloved creation long enough I suppose.
