Perhaps because at their core they were still monkeys, or maybe because their desire for advancement made them advance far too quickly.įor example, many apex could not spell all that well, or recorded things in a simple manner, even if they were highly capable conversationalists. Although they were advanced, they were still imperfect. To add variety and because I felt it was well placed, I often made it so that this sense of simplicity in their origins would leak through at times. Yet he is also the malevolent punishing eye of their race, for it is he that punishes those who do not try to achieve advancement. The "big ape" is a concept, like a governmental god of sorts, reminding them that there is a "bigger picture" and that their actions must not reflect simplistic origins or thought.
So they forced to serve another function, for all must be of use, or else "what is the point of the Apex?" These lesser beings are hidden away in facilitates where they are used for the "higher good." or rather, less than what ape kind is now. These failures are seen as less "ape" than the others. Those who prove their wit and smarts are seen as "desirable" elite members of ape kind. Even though they had evolved past being simple monkeys, some of their more bestial instincts got ingrained in that society. However, because they were not human, their society developed differently. In my mind, apex were the race that wasn't supposed to be smart, but that they beat the odds and became capable in spite of everything. In a sense, I always felt like they were a race that had branched off of the human race at some point. I used to like apex so much because to me, it was like being human, yet not. I had not read much of their lore, so formed my own based solely on observation. When I first started (way back in alpha) the apex were my go to choice. I know! I'll add some theme music to make it a better read! any lore takes some explaining, so it's unavoidable. So instead, how about I show you an example or two? I need to start with the apex to show my point, so here goes. They are much more alien.īut lots of people will tell you that. To top this off, the novakid and floran LOOK different. Any race can have a gun at some point, any race can go to any other planet, but lore makes them different. (yet) Those who enjoy the lore, either made from their own minds or official, are the same people who become personally involved in the races they choose. Lore makes a HUGE difference, since no race has racial abilities. Many of the other races feel like re-skinned humanoid copies. In short, it's that these races are so unusual.
