Current Creations
Here is a list of my current contributions to SporeWiki:

Creatures

 * Murkdweller -- Intelligent ocean hunters, equivilent to sharks on the homeworld of the Aurix.
 * Garoupa -- I did not create this creature but I did indeed add the page to it.
 * Aurum -- My main and most detailed creation!
 * Ciitarkian -- An ancient species from 5th grade, brought back to life.
 * Surpraxx -- Another ancient species from 5th grade, brought back from the dead.
 * Melmacian -- A "tribute race" I've claimed dibs on.
 * Slizzard -- A non-sapient species found on the homeworld of the Aurix.
 * Stallop -- A non-sapient insectoid also found on the homeworld of the Aurix.
 * Roalch -- Non-sapient, detrivorous crustaceans found on the desert world of Tozect.
 * Green Clacker -- Non-sapient placoderms once found in the Red Kelp forests off the southern coast of Zeeon; however, they are suspected to be extinct.

Terrain

 * Zalkore -- A planet initially intended for use as my second Spore Fanfic on the Spore Games forum, but it fell through. Now it's here.
 * Jaeda System -- The stellar system that Zalkore belongs to. Officially known as "Theta Esquilius".

Claims to Fame

 * Solitary author of the Aurix game on GameFaqs.
 * Uses 100% original sprites to show the look of the creatures of the Aurix game, which is done totally in MSPaint.
 * First user to list Scientific Classification on Spore creatures, which I do extensively, as you can see from my creation pages. This feature is now seen on various other Spore pages.
 * Personally wrote the Scientific Classifications for the Corosliev (a creature from the Spore Game forums), and am in the process of writing one for the  Zebodi from GameFaqs, as well.
 * Possibly the most dedicated (but somewhat slow because of this) Spore fanfiction writers out there. For instance, Round 85 of the Aurix game (posted Wednesday, September 6th, 2006) took me approximately 12 hours to write and redraw the sprites. Little of that time was spent on breaks.

About Me
Greetings and salutations. My name is Thor, and I am the creator of the Aurum, Surpraxx, Amphorian, Morrakkus, as well as various other species. I am 23 years old and live in Alaska. I originally was born in Ninilchik but now reside in Alaska's biggest city, Anchorage.

I have recently became a member of the Alaska Paranormal Reasearch & Investigations, and my first "case" was to lead a team of three (The Intuitive - Me, The Psychic Battery - Erin, and fellow APIU member, Zack) to my hometown of Ninilchik on Saturday, July 15th, 2006 where we got at least 1 EVP, several Orbs (including one at my Grandfather's grave), and a very weird UFO sighting.

Obviously, I love linking to things. This is because I consider myself an amateur scientist, through which I mainly follow biology, astronomy, and paleontology. Also I suppose it's obvious I am a follower of cryptozoology. This is partially caused by my coming from an old town like Ninilchik (which happens to be a very-unknown hot-spot for paranormal activity) as well as coming from a family of Intuitives (true "psychics" no longer call themselves that due to people like Ms. Cleo and John Edwards giving us a bad name). No, I cannot control my Intuitive "abilities", other than "soulreaving" (yes I also think it sounds nerdy).

Anyways, enough of that. I am addicted to the internet, and my life revolves around video games. So, I guess I'm a nerd. Although I don't look like your "typical" nerd, and am apparently quite handsome (I think I look like a barbarian).

I also have an excessive amount of pets, including the following: 3 dogs (Major, Picabo, & Lucky) 6 cats (Bacardi, Charlie, & their 4 kittens) 5 parakeets (Tweetie, Mellow, Ozbird, Taffy & Topher) 4 bettas (Seraph, Dante, Princess, & Derethor) 3 leopard geckos (Loki, Mondo Gecko, & Spike) 2 cockatiels (Mozart & Baby) 1 hedgehog/urchin (Amy Rose) 1 tokay gecko (Tokay) 1 mouse (Nimhowei) 2 rats (Lawnmower & Toaster Oven) 2 firebelly newts (Still Unnamed)

My interests include movie making, my wide humor range (from very light to very dark humor), making video games, playing video & computer games), collecting pets, ghost-hunting, ufo-hunting, dressing up (currently as Black Mage or, more often, Pyramid Head) and acting like an ass throughout town, and my writings and drawings.

I originally heard about Spore from my friend Charlie back when it had apparently first been announced, and have quietly followed the news about until I recently became openly obsessed with it around May 2006. I had hoped to make a game in this scope eventually, but that would have taken years to get to the head of a gaming department, PLUS the years of college I've so far "neglected" to enroll into. His game is probably better, however, as mine probably would have usurped your entire computer (I had long-forgotten about procedural programming)...anyways..

My standing on the creation of species
Although I don't go and tell people to follow my beliefs, I strongly follow my own guidelines while make species.

I don't believe in making a race the so-called "most powerful being in the universe/galaxy", as I feel it's a little unfair and I'm sure someone else can come up with something that could kick its butt.

I try to make my specie balanced...ish. They are typically stronger than mankind, but tend to have their own set of exploitable weaknesses.

I do the same thing in my fangames. For instance, I have been working on a Megaman X fangame for years now, and it has slowly lost all full-on references to the actual series, going from "X and Zero fighting to the death" to "Some random reploid Maverick Hunter fighting alongside X and Zero, so X and Zero are still in the game and mentioned a lot, along with Sigma", to "Some random reploid Maverick Hunter fighting within the same group as X and Zero (Maverick Hunters), but has never met them and has only heard a lot of good from them", to "A random reploid living in the future, between the time of Megaman X and Megaman Zero (approximately 50 years in-between each)", which was again changed to "A random reploid from the past (Megaman's time) who has been rediscovered in the future, and fights to stop all Mavericks/Irregulars, with no true mention of the other games, although little hints do exist."

Help & Suggestions
If you have anything to suggest or if you're willing to help me with the creation of better artwork for my various creations, please do so; it will be very welcome. You can either get ahold of me through my talk section, or through my email (which I check more often) -- you can find my email address further below.

Lore
If you would like, I am willing to allow you to use my creations as content in the histories/current activity of your creations, considering you are kind and fair about it (in other words, no slaughtering my species or destroying huge amounts of anything, unless you ask first and get my permission) -- however, please ask me first. This is both so I can check what you've added, but also because I would like to work it into my ongoing storylines. You can either get ahold of me through my email (found lower on this page), or by getting ahold of me through my talk page.

We have been given the thumbs-up to include the Percusa into part of the Aurum storyline, possibly due to the fact that the author is considering quitting...when that comes to fruition, you can expect to read about it here on the site, as well as the main Aurum website, which the link to exists lower on the page.

E-Mail
Do you wish to email me, without taking the time or the effort to actually just go to my Aurix site and locate the email address yourself? Well then, you'll have to piece my address together yourself (in order to hopefully deter even-more spam from my inbox), but you can email me at gokousama (at) hotmail (dot) com.

The Aurix Website
If you would like to, you may check out the site for my Interactive Spore Fanfic, the Aurix. We're almost at 1 chapter left until sapience, so I would suggest going there as soon as you can in order to check out what's up. I'm apparently a decent writer, so, you know. I also supply my players with sprite pictures of the Current Main Inhabitants that can be found during each round. If you would like to check this out at anytime, you can feel free by clicking the link below. The Aurix Main Website
