Hivemind Artisan (451 words)

Inside a badly damaged space ship multiple creatures with curved horns run around I panic, their ship has been hit by stay meteor that somehow evaded all their detection measures causing a great deal of damage to the hull of the ship and important machinery.

While the beings with curved horns and colorful skin color which ranges form crimson red to forest green run around trying to fix the caused damage, a humanoid creature the size of a ten year old child and completely covered in black chitin like armor is observing everything happening with its four insectoid neon blue eyes.

It is submerged in a translucent green liquid and safety secured behind a see-through energy field.

´The intro at the beginning of a new game is impressive as always, the developers of this game have really given their all with the immersion. They made completely individual intros to each race and backstory, this then escalated once hybrid and half-bloods were introduced allowing the different intros to fuse together like right now.´ The child like creature thinks while wiggling its two antennas which come out of its forehead and curls up the long an thick tail which was a little bigger in size than the rest of her body..

´For this run I combined the Rajin Hivemind race with the Artisan´s, resulting in an insect like hive creature with exceptional crafting and learning skills. The backstory I picked is called ´Far from Home´ giving me the bonus of already possessing some basic skills which are thanks to my Artisan heritage mostly about technology and engineering. This will allow me practically to skip everything beneath the peak surface level civilization like the tribal or medieval phase. ´While the insectoid child was thinking about all the nice bonuses it has in this run, the demon like creatures with curved horn have somehow managed to direct the heavily damaged spaceship near a planet with lots of water and three big continents.

The ship is on direct crash course with the smallest one if the three and none of the ships safety measure starts to kick in even after the ship started to melt from the air friction.

´Well, look loke we arrived on my new home. HAHAHA! LET´S WELCOME IT WITH A BANG!!´ As soon as the insectoid child thought that the ship smashed into the ground creating a resounding explosion that destroyed everything in a radius of a hundred meters.

A giant cloud made out of dirt smoke and metal rises into the sky declaring the official start of the game.

The crash has destroyed all the restriction containing the child like insectoid and it was now free to move as it liked.
