  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Ok, basically, the other races we KNOW we'll have are(brief overview)

Florsyl: A very peaceful, jovial race. They are literally at one with nature, and are a form of humanoid plant rather than animal. They are of average height, slender, and incredibly beautiful. They have green-tinted skin, rich with chlorophyl, and hair of straw, brown, and green hues that grow in thick, vine-like locks. Florsyl have large, dark eyes that are almost crystalline in appearance, and their long, supple, gentle hands end in root-like fingertips, with the number of fingers generally ranging from 3-8. They differ from specimen to specimen, but each member of the spieces has the same number of fingers on each hand. Their feet resemble uprooted stumps, but are not clunky or clumsy. Rather, the short roots allow them to grasp onto surfaces while climbing and enhance movement in their sylvan kingdoms. Leaves grow in their hair and other parts of their body of all shapes and sizes, be it in small vines wrapped around an appendage or a thick shrub-like growth on the head. Men generally have higher leaf concentration, but women grow flowers as well, which bloom beautifully at set intervals of the months and year.

Society and powers: The Florsyl have the power to manipulate plants around them, stimulating them to grow in whatever direction or shape they desire. It requires a vast amount of energy, and can easily tire a Florsyl out if they use it too much, but it has forged the living metropoli of vines, branches, and trunks woven together into masterful structures, bridges, and staircases. They live in open-roofed homes, so that they and their families might enjoy the rain and sunlight that sustains them. Water is usually either taken in through their finger/toe roots.

Florsyl rarely go to war in large forces, as they are physically weak in stature. But their sylvan homes are incredibly well defended none the less, and the armies of good often use forests as havens against Ishbaneer Shatten and his slaves. The Florsyl's powers cause massive bramble hedges to grow and impede the march of enemy soldiers, while others make use of the Florsyl ability to possess a tree and use its mighty branches, roots, and vines as weapons against evil. (Note: a florsyl inside a tree becomes one with it, and thus will be injured if the tree is cut or smashed. The Florsyl will die long before the tree does).


Ok, so that could be a complete entry...:doh: Well, that's one I dont have to do.

As for the other race, I remember an aquatic one, but can't find it yet. They had shimmering blue skin with nigh microscopic scales and lived in floating cities near the shoreline, made of aquatic plants, bones and shells from massive sea creatures, and liked use of nets and tridents in amphibious warfare against Ishbaneer Shatten. I can't remember much more about them.

Mondorians: A race of mountain-dwelling people with slightly short but powerful bodies. Master stone masons who could manipulate ice like the Florsyl do plants and able to heal themselves when in cold climates. Gray, rough skin was a feature, if I recall correctly, but they looked pretty human too. Not sure on that one.

yeah, i tried to start a Firefly RPG once. Still have all the character sheets for all the crew. But it ended up a wash because I had to leave CF for a while for some reason. it would be neat to do it again with some fans of the show who actually know what they are talking about.

Exactly! Firefly was a cult favorite. Fans, like my self, called for it to be brought back to the TV, but the company decided to make a movie. You can actually watch the movie without having seen the show and understand it. I went to watch it with three Korean foreign exchange students who were friends of mine. they loved it even though they had never seen it.

Yes! I used to own the entire series on DVD but lost it when I moved from OKC down to Ada, OK. Now I've got my wife hooked and I'm going to buy the movie next month when I get the movie. A new special edition was released this month. Serenity II would be cool(though it may be strange without Shepherd Book and Wash) , but I'm still hoping they reissue the show.
