Hello Excited Anon. I Thank You For Your Ask Message And Many Questions. They Mean A Lot And I Will Try

Hello Excited Anon. I thank you for your ask message and many questions. They mean a lot and I will try to answer all your questions with time.

Question 1.: Are the designers aware of the Gods created from the sapient species? Do the Designers have, or could have, any control over Gods? Considering that Designers create magic, does that mean Gods are dependent on Designers to some degree? That Designers can affect Gods to some degree? Even though, from what I understand, every sapient species you've shown so far has had their Designer (and thus controlling creator) die.

Let's say, Designers have the awareness of a plant, a plant evolved to have very complex reactions to its surroundings through chemicals. Except for a designer is not chemicals but a whole world-scale events that it's "programed" to react to. It's relationship to other designer's is the closest thing to awareness.

Magic is considered an extension of the designer's "nervous system" and is shared by beings that have nervous structures similar to those. Other than that they produce "liquid magic".

God's are beings 'changed' by "liquid magic" that better take in the designer's signal (magic). And that, if anything, makes the designer's system grow wider.

If designers were to consciously control gods, it would definitely be easier than with a non-magical being, but it doesn't happen.

God's are dependent on magic to live so they are 100% dependent on Designers. The magic keeps them alive, replacing dead cells and creating new ones instead of the God's body, which is functionaly dead.

Lastly, of all the sentient species shown (3 designers), only 2 should be dead. However, there is no way to prove it as it seems magic is active even without them and getting close to them would be an instant death. But their deaths are big part of uniiman and elven culture.

A little wip comic with Neal and his first ever Uniima c student. They have important questions for him.

The creator of the first metal airplane. They have big dreams for the future but maybe little too ambitious. (they use their hands for many gestures since they work big part with humans for years)

Second part of Excited Anon's ask

2. Have any sapient species emerged without Designer assistance? Do sapient species emerge without Designer assistance and Designers just sort of manipulate species that gain sapience and do not actively work toward creating species that are specifically sapient? Like, it's just "luck" on the Designers part that they get a sapient species? At least at first?

If there were such cases, they aren't recorded. In current date the planet is far from being fully mapped. People are paranoid and scared of the ocean because it's full of actual 'sea monsters'. The closer to a designer the bigger is the wildlife, being something between gods and animals.

It's possible there are non-designer races but life on the planet is not as old as on Earth and the need to be sentient is not as big without a designer. And in case designers were the ones who created life, these organisms would be related to one or more of the living kingdoms.

Sapience is not by luck. It's a 'goal'. There's a visible push for sentience and conflict on the planet. Having more than one instance of a lost civilization of no known living race. It might be that sentience makes it easier to access magic in a useful conscious way. Beings with higher physical and 'metaphysical' awareness would have better chance surviving.

Or maybe magic is a source of sentience, adding brain power to a fitting base even for people that can't use magic as a tool.

Or if might be both. Or neither.

I'm gatekeeping lot of the information but before I decide how I tell a story, I want to mostly explain things in ways the planet's people would.
