Round 1
Life on this planet is beginning to stir; new species have begun to spring up in the still compound-rich waters of the deep. Not only are they developing new things to do with the compounds they collect, but they are also pioneering ways of movement. Note: I will lay off the events for the time being. Also, if I make any mistakes, please correct me in PM, thanks! Finally, at the moment if you go extinct you will not lose your place. However, I will be strict on people who disappear or take ages to make their votes. For this round and the round after, I would like you to vote for another mutation, because otherwise there is not much you can do. evolution4weαk , since you were the first person to ask after the places had been filled, you get to take Lucky’s place. serialkiller🌴
Mitochondria (6) Species: Probactum CometiumSpecies Description: This species was formed when some Euthrivum primus began assimilating prokaryotes that became mitochondria. What differs this species from other with mitochondria is the extraordinary efficiency of the process, meaning it needs comparatively little food. It has less mitochondria than other similar species as it does not need more. The only drawback to this species is that it cannot move, but this does not have a huge effect in the current climate. They are very common in the deep of the ocean. Thriving Status: NT Individual Situation: N/A Health: N/A Reproduction %: N/A Immortal_Dragon
Pseudopodia (3) Species: Probactum MobilaSpecies Description: A pioneer of movement, this odd species has developed the ability to temporarily extend projections of its membrane, called pseudopods, in order to propel itself in search of compounds. This gives it somewhat of an advantage. This method of movement, however, is not a quick as the flagella of Euthrivum velocia and requires more energy but it has been known to accidentally engulf very small organisms that happen to be in its path. Thriving Status: NT Individual Situation: N/A Health: N/A Reproduction %: N/A phantomhunter01
Vacuole (6) Species: Simplica VarinSpecies Description: Going in the opposite direction to its cousin, Probactum Cometium, this cell developed a way of storing excess compounds for when levels are low rather than a more efficient way of using it. It is still almost as successful with the large amounts of compounds that are available. It also cannot move on its own. They are common in the deep of the ocean. Thriving Status: NT Individual Situation: N/A Health: N/A Reproduction %: N/A TheGraveKnight
Mitochondria (3) Species: Gravian NyxusSpecies Description: This is another species of microbe that assimilated prokaryotes and developed mitochondria. The process is much more efficient than what it had before and it is doing well in this rich environment. However, it is not as efficient as Probactum Cometium and has noticeably more mitochondria to make up for it. It also cannot move but, nonetheless, is common in the deep ocean. Thriving Status: NT Individual Situation: N/A Health: N/A Reproduction %: N/A agenttine
Cillia (2) Species: Agentus ThrivumSpecies Description: This species is very similar to Euthrivum primus, with almost no differences except for a miniscule protrusions on the membrane, that look like stubs of cillia. However, they are so small they hardly affect the cell at all. Much like the aforementioned species, it simply floats throughout the water taking in compounds that come its way. It is quite common in the depths of the ocean. Thriving Status: VU Individual Situation: N/A Health: N/A Reproduction %: N/A Atrox
Mitochondria (1) Species: Euthrivum infectaSpecies Description: Although Euthrivum atroxsuxus assimilated a prokaryote like Probactum Cometium and Gravian Nyxus did, it did more harm than good to its survival chances. Instead of Prothrivum industria, it assimilated Prothrivum parasitus, which takes a lot more compounds from its host cell than it pays back in ATP. Thusly, this species is often short of compounds and finds itself struggling. It is a fairly uncommon microbe of the deep sea. Thriving Status: EN (it should probably be worse but since it is the first round I went easy on you.) Individual Situation: N/A Health: N/A Reproduction %: N/A StealthStyle
Flagellum (6) Species: Euthrivum velocitiaSpecies Description: Being the fastest cell in the water has its advantages. A powerful, efficient flagella has formed by extending microtubules out of the membrane, allowing Euthrivum velocia to power along and pick up compounds. However, it needs a consistently large amounts of compounds to keep up with this lifestyle. It is common in the deep of the ocean. Thriving Status: NT Individual Situation: N/A Health: N/A Reproduction %: N/A

Well, our cilia failed... If we don't manage to improve it, we may have to just ditch movement all together and get a mitochondria before we die off. Mutation: Actual cilia

Alrighty, we can move, let's improve some efficiency!
Mutation: Mitochondria
EDIT: If necessary, my new species should be called Euthrivum Vorax

StealthStyleL, I demand that you take no pity on me I want a challenge mate. Give me the proper Thriving Status please. Alright, it's time to call upon the power of the long dormant dice gods. Dice gods, hear my plea: give me a 6 in the next turn as I attempt to evolve.... lysosomes to eat the evil mitochondria??? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You have to give 'em something (sorry if this is spammy or something, also this is seems like it's going to be a nice game. Don't think I'll join though, as my biology is Belgium, but I'll defenitly spectate)

Round 2Life in the seas has continued to evolve, although it is still restricted to the deep of the ocean where free compounds can be found. (Only simple prokaryotes such as Prothrivum lux can be found closer to the surface.) However, this easy food source is slowly dwindling as a result of overexploitation by the explosion of newly evolved eukaryotes; soon, the cells will not be able to rely on this food source and those less adapted will die out. True competition will evolve, which up until now has not existed. Right now though, there is a pattern of success; the commonest species of the time have flagella for movement and efficient mitochondria to increase the energy from compounds ratio. On the flip side, species lacking efficient movement are losing out to the more mobile species but can still, at the moment, survive. Note: If you have any diagrams or anything else to share about the game, feel free to share them in this thread. I would like to let you know that the species from previous rounds still exist but most are declining. In brackets I will include the scientific names that are different for each variation. Everyone gets to make TWO votes for next round, as it is the last one before we delve into the proper gameplay. Also, bear in mind that the free compounds are running out. Survivors of the Great Depletion will receive free chemoreceptors so that gameplay actually makes sense.serialkiller🌴 Flagellum (5) Species: Probactum Cometium (Flagellia efficiens) Species Description: With very efficient mitochondria and a powerful flagellum, this is currently the most successful microbe in the ocean. It does not need as many compounds as some of its cousins and what it does need is easily attainable through the use of its flagellum. It evolved from Euthrivum optimum and is very common in the deep of ocean. Thriving Status: LC Individual Situation: N/A Health: N/A Reproduction %: N/A Immortal_Dragon Mitochondria (2) Species: Probactum Mobila (Euthrivum amoebus) Species Description: This species has not changed at all. It continues to use pseudopods as a form of movement but it needs to intake a lot of compounds due to its inefficient process of obtaining energy. It is in danger of falling behind to more advanced microbes, especially as the compound levels decrease. It has become quite uncommon in the deep ocean. Thriving Status: EN Individual Situation: N/A Health: N/A Reproduction %: N/A phantomhunter01 Flagellum (3) Species: Simplica Varin (Vacuosa motus) Species Description: Evolved from Euthrivum sacci, this species has also developed a flagellum as a form of motility. This enables it to move when necessary to collect compounds and then store them until it needs them again. Whilst not as active as the Flagellia group of microbes, it, nonetheless, doing well and is common in the deep of the ocean. Thriving Status: NT Individual Situation: N/A Health: N/A Reproduction %: N/A TheGraveKnight Flagellum (3) Species: Gravian Nyxus (Flagellia sancti) Species Description: Yet another variation of the mitochondria-flagellum combination, this is not quite as successful as the other two yet is still doing fairly well. It evolved from Euthrivum mitus and is common in the deep sea. Thriving Status: NT Individual Situation: N/A Health: N/A Reproduction %: N/A agenttine Cilia (1) Species: Agentus Thrivum (Euthrivum infirmatur) Species Description: The problems for this line of cells has only gotten worse. The small protrusions that appeared to be stumps of cilia have grown in length, but they are brittle and are easily snapped off. This leads to large amount of water enter the cell and causing it to go under osmotic lysis and die. A cell is lucky if it lives long enough to reproduce and numbers are dropping rapidly. It is rare. Thriving Status: CR Individual Situation: N/A Health: N/A Reproduction %: N/A Atrox Lysosomes (3) Species: Euthrivum infectaSpecies Description: In response to the parasitic mitochondria that has developed in this species, it has evolved lysosomes to which break down these mitochondria to stop them taking too many compounds. Overall, it worked and has neutralised the effects of the mitochondria. However, it requires valuable compounds which the species still does not have an efficient process of gaining. Thusly, this species is dying out and is now rare. Thriving Status: CR Individual situation: N/A Health: N/A Reproduction %: N/A StealthStyle Mitochondria (4) Species: Flagellia celeriSpecies Description: Another almost as successful organism, and another with the template of mitochondria and flagellum. This descendant of Flagellia velocita has evolved a symbiotic relationship with Prothrivum industria, which has enabled it to become much more efficient and power the most powerful flagellum in the sea. It needs more compounds than Flagellia efficiens but its speed almost makes up for that. It is almost as common. Thriving Status: LC Individual Situation: N/A Health: N/A Reproduction %: N/A evolution4weαk Mitochondria (5) Species: Euthrivum moratusSpecies Description: This species, a direct descendent of Euthrivum primus, was a late-evolver; it evolved mitochondria much later than most other species did. As a result, it is not doing quite as well. However, its mitochondria are just as efficient and so it is surviving in this period of free compounds. The problem is that it lacks motility, and so often loses out to those that do. At the moment though, this species is quite common in the deep of the ocean. Thriving Status: VU Individual Situation: N/A Health: N/A Reproduction %: N/A
