Fiction:Semperphion Empire

Anatomy

 * The Semperphion Race is an extremely curious race biologically. Their default state is 8FT tall juggernaughts with massive muscle strength in their legs and arms. But, at any time, they can use any present biomass to shapeshift into any form. They can use this to project spikes and blades from their bodies, making them ruthless in close quarters combat. This ability to change their shape also makes them excellent spies and sabetours.

Basic History

 * The Semperphion started as small, apelike creatures. Until Meteor, as it is called. Meteor was something that shaped them from the moment it entered the atmosphere. It realeased huge amounts of Sygion 67, a highly radioactive substance that affected creatures all over the planet. Many died. The radiation from the Meteor affected the Semperphions in such a way it altered their DNA to make them hulking giants with the ability to shapeshift. Some say that was what gave them intelligence and started their evolution. The issue still faces some controversy.
 * With the radiation came devastating shifts in their environment. All animals competed. All were deadly. The Semperphions learned to respect Honor, Bravery, and Strength. Through determination, spirit, and strength they survived in their brutal environment. But this brutal environment also had another effect: it made them become smarter, wiser, and cleverer. It also made them mistrust everyone they met until they earned that trust. This kind of struggle continued until they managed to get into space using experimental fission bomb technology. Then they met the Zmangarbud.

Fission Bomb Launch

 * They had prepared the fission bomb for years for a weapon. Then an innovative scientist realized if you channeled the explosion you could use it as thrust. A year later the rocket was ready.
 * It used several jet engines to get as high as possible, only half a mile. Then the jet engines fell off, and it used its main thrust. The explosion shot out of the craft, hitting the ground below, turning sand into glass. The rocket reached 900 miles per second at its top speed. It got into space. They had advanced. This started a new era as a species, their destiny.
