Favorite of the Thinkers...

What's everyone's favorite of Almea's sentient species? Why? Mine would have to be the ktuvoki. I find their behavior fascinating, as well as their culture. It's interesting how they effect their slaves and pets.

Its got to be the ilii. i supose it is partly because i look at them and wonder how different my underwater species became. the ilii are plesant, knowledgable, and have a massive history. my Aranixari are more like the borg from star trek. I though not much is said about them save in the count of years and a few other places, they still facinate me. to me they occupy the place that the elves occupied in LOTR {though that is not a bad thing}

The Ktuvoki are also very inovative as well. though i seem to have a lack of intrest in Flaids, i suppose they represent the "intermeditaries" in the way that the hobbits were used in Tolkien. {and hobbits are, to me, the worst part of LOTR} i'm just too cynical i suppose.

*sniff* Y-y-you don't like Hobbits?

My favorite Almean species? hm. Well, I guess I like the Flaids the most. They crack me up.

Tolkien discussion moved to "Yet another Tolkien discussion" on None of the Above.

Now, to get back on topic (gasp!)...

my favorite "Thinker" (heh) would probably be either the Ilii or the Flaids. I think the Ilii are the most interesting, but I just plain like the Flaids for some reason.

I'd have to say the elcari. Mostly because I know them better than any of the others yet. I'm looking forward to some more icelani information, though.

I would undoubtedly say the uesti. Non-human species have never really interested me as much as many people, and my focus has always been on humans.

I think the uesti, too, for pretty much the same reasons Dudicon outlined.

If I had to choose a non-human species, I would say the ilii. They are knowedgable and have a long history (although I don't know a lot of it), and everything I don't know gives them a kind of "mysterious aura".
