Welcome to Gaia! ::

Does anyone know how xenos see/communicate?

ok thanks, I've already gotten an answer from chupi but I was wandering, do you think I should or shouldn't incorporate special species into the rp that have adaptede to the planet? check the poll for your answer. If you don't understand post, I'll try to explain, or ideas.

i've probably made more RPs than i care to count.... lost count a while ago... and yes i actually kept count. lost count at 487 successful RPs.

probably want a good story, most people care about the story you have set up. as well the various RPers you recruit. but know your stuff, always contenue with research to further the RP experance by looking up new informaction every time you post.

My one suggestion... Try not to make the drone breeds too... Out there. Afterall, the classic drones of Alien and Aliens came from humans, the runner of Alien3 came from a dog/ox, depending on which version of the film you watch. (The director's cut is so much better. I hate the theatrical release, but love that more than Aliens.)

And knight, I really want to know where you get your information. @_@ It's just about always in such confliction with what I've read in the comics/novels, and what I've seen in the two Aliens vs Predator PC games. (One of the many functions of their heads is basically sending/recieving radiowaves of sorts according to the video games, which actually gets supported by Aliens: Rogue when Kleist discovers the queen and rogue are communicating with each other through a radiowave frequency, though it can't be understood what they're saying obviously. He was excited because at that time, it was the first time they had been given a glimpse at how xenomorphs communicate aside from pheramones.) ... And you couldn't shoot off the backs of heads in any AvP games. The head worked as one whole unit in them, if you used a weapon that clipped removable parts off on the head then the entire thing came off no matter where you hit it, even if you just barely got an edge. Last I knew the only actual glimpse we got of the xenomorph's brain that went into details about it was in Labyrinth, in which Colonel Doctor Church pointed at an organ in the front of the skull that was seperate from the brain he theorized was their "psychic reciever." Though Labyrinth must have its information taken with great skepticism because a few things in it were horribly illogical, and even contredictory to other books and games. Here's the debated purpose of the organ:

C.D. Church: I think it's the alien psychic reciever. The fullerite and hurlantium pick up E-waves and the binary fans create interference patterns from electromagnetic fields.
C.D. Crespi: So it would not only recieve brainwaves but enable the alien to assess another animal's physical characteristics by seeing its subtle body.
C.D. Church: Exactly! That's why strong electromagnetic fields really affect aliens... Gives 'em the equivilant of an ice-cream headache.
C.D. Crespi: I'll remember that.
C.D. Church: Now, you can see that this thing has withered. In healthy specimens it's more bulbous, fills the cavity tightly. But in a languishing captive, it atrophies.
C.D. Crespi: Which could explain why the crewman under the influence of telepathine was able to affect the alien's behavior!
C.D. Church: Exactly.

I've updated some of the images, check them out if you like. Please remember that the vegetation like spines resemble local flora, perfect for camo. The more they have the probablility of it needing to hide more often.

*checks head for headbite wounds* wow... i'm safe.... *hear's hissing* eep...

I'm going to cut out the images of the shredder and mutilated, they'll still be in the RP, but you get the idea of what they look like, also, I want to revize the King model, any suggestions? (Remember, the Kings role is to lure queens, so It would have to somehow be attractive to a queen, maybe chocolates?)
