E x t e r m e r e || Home of the Diu || Batch 3 Up!

[videlicet]

Welcome to Extermere!
Finally. Ten years of waiting; ten years of idleness, come to fruitation at last. Oh, how you've longed for this moment. It has haunted you all through your waking hours -and even in dreams. A promise, a whisper, a tantalizing breath of air across your ear: Extermere. You are the envy of many a scientist -and you know it.
The ship lands with a juddering thump, almost knocking you off your feet. Grabbing an armchair (bolted to the floor, of course) to steady yourself, you look out of the window, for your first true glimpse of the planet. The only other habitable planet in the known universe -Extermere.
Green. That is the first thing you notice, as you look outside. Green, green, green. Everywhere, every shade. Bright, lurid green. Dark green. Medium green. Spring green. You have to blink -once, twice, thrice- in order to adjust your eyes to the sheer brightness of it. Suddenly, you hear your name being called. Shaking your head in an attempt to clear it, you release your hold on the armchair, and sprint out of the room. Better than gazing at it through the window, will be standing in it. Becoming a part of it. But, you remind yourself, turning a corner, you aren't here as a sightseer. No, you're no tourist. You are a scientist -a biologist, to be precise- and you are here to document and study the flora and fauna of this planet. And, one species in particular. The Diu.

It seems you have found your way to Extermere! Here, you can adopt Diu (pronounced DEE-you), a completely fictional species, created by me (Viszla7). Breed them, customize them, take part in events and competitons! Again, welcome to Extermere. Have fun.

Announcements:

The second batch of Diu will be up tomorrow, if all goes as
planned. xD
Also, welcome our new mod, Lyra Heartstrings! C:

Looking for one mod, and an artist! PM me if you are interested! (There's no set form, just tell me why you'd like the place, and, if you are vying for artist, give examples of your work.)

[videlicet]

Extermere is a planet much like Earth; it revolves around a greater star, is home to a mutitude of flora & fauna, has a molten core, and oceans. From a satellite view, it looks very, very similiar to our home planet. Just ignore the lack of artic lands, and the misshapen continents, and you could almost mistake it for Earth.
But, down below, it has many, very obvious differences. Having had absolutely no contact with Earth, this planet has been flourishing independantly for millenia. Thus, the plant and animal life are completely alien.
Trees (or, at least, flora that resemble trees) can range from the size of a folding chair, to taller than a high-rise apartment. Flowers of every colour and proportion bedeck the forests, jungles, and moors. Fast-flowing rivers carve out steep banks, and slower, meandering ones wind their ways through the lush landscape. The climate of Extermere is a dramatic one, with fierce, noticable seasons in every area. There is no concept of 'eternal spring', or 'eternal winter', on Extermere. Even the poles have extremely contrasting seasons.
And, of course, there are the fauna to populate the world of Extermere, as diverse and colourful as their plant counterpart. Animals of all shapes, sizes, and colours roam the planet, living their lives free from the stresses that humans have put upon our own planet.
And, of course, there was one species in particular that caught the eye of scientists scoping out the planet.
The Diu.
The Diu first showed up on the preliminary photographs, taken by probes. They were the first animals to be confirmed on Extermere, and, so, gained quite a lot of publicity back on Earth. Even when the initial excitement of animal life on Extermere began to fade -other animal species having been caught on film- people were still extremely interested in the Diu.
Perhaps it was their unusual stature; an overlarge head, bizarrely long neck, and feline-reminiscent, prehensile tail. Or their bizarre colouration. Or, maybe, just the fact that they were the first.
Who knows?
But, I digress. That first spark of interest in the Diu grew and grew, until it was a full-out inferneo, consuming the minds of people on Earth. And, so, in an attempt to douse the fire, scientists created a program -a program for the documentation, study, and (perhaps), even the domestication of these strange creatures.
Anatomically, the Diu resemble no creature on Earth. Instead, their different features seem to trigger responses to a variety of different species in our mind. The head shape is reminiscent of the canine species; a rather pointed, wolf-like muzzle, and a sloping forehead. The tail puts one in mind of a feline, as well as the non-distinct chest. But, that is merely the human mind at work -our ability to recognize similiar attributes, and group them together. The Diu, of course, has never been exposed to canines, felines, or any of our animals on Earth, and so, cannot share their genes.
Another fascinating physical feature of the Diu would be the seemingly endless range in coat colours and patterns. From aquamarine to zaffre, a colony of Diu is the living equivalent of a rainbow.
Not much is known yet about the behaviour and mannerisms of the Diu; all we are certain of is that they are onmivorous, live in colonies of 2 to 8 individuals, and are not inherently aggressive. In fact, they have reacted quite favourably to our attempts at domestication.
