All right, it's pretty clear that there are more species than just humans from other worlds here, but how many different blood colors are there? Even in the Special Zone, there's usually just the one.

And what kind of diversity is everyone used to in their worlds?

If you are speaking literally, then demons have red blood like humans, and I understand angels do too.

As for diversity, even with the off-worlders this school is the plainest of brown rice compared to the potluck soup that was Evil Academy!

[cigardog]

Duly noted, and yes, I mean literally.

Evil Academy? [That sounds... gee... evil.]

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

That is where I taught formerly! A Netherworld devoted entirely to the education of young demons... such as it was.

[cigardog]

Interesting. And they were taught... evil I take it?

I think it's mostly the trolls who have different blood colours.

And from what I can gather, most people seem to come from worlds with only one intelligent species, and even for those that don't, they don't have anywhere near the same sort of diversity as home.

[cigardog]

Annoying.

[The latter part. The trolls are cool. The fact that they're annoying teenagers who talk like freaks aside. No, but he does like them. As much as the dog likes anyone.] They need some diversity training.

[espio]

Actually, considering the way some minds work (yes, Min, I do mean you and your friends), having a bit of diversity training wouldn't be too bad an idea. Although it brings school assemblies to mind.

[cigardog]

Perish the thought. Maybe just a specific required class.

If you have a problem with the formatted/quirked text just let me know

D --> Among my people there are twelve b100d colors comprising the complete hemospectrum
D --> In practice however some are e%ceptionally rare
D --> Or, indeed, e%tinct

Never :3 Give me all your quirks!

[cigardog]

Extinct? How did that happen?

[needatowel]

D --> Hunted to extinction

[cigardog]

Only certain blood colors? That's bizarre. [Though... no more bizarre than there being different blood colors.]

What hunted them?

[doublewhite]

There''s not many kinds of people here. at home there were loads!!! But I think red blood was normal.

[cigardog]

Red's what I'm used to as well.

What kind of people did you have back home?

[doublewhite]

moogles, hippos, fish, black mages, dwarves, birds, rats and stuff. And Zidane had a tail and I have a horn.

[cigardog]

And all red blood, right?

Oh, what are you?

Equestrian ponies are divided into three races: Unicorns, Pegasi, and Earth ponies, each with different capabilities and specialties. However, there are also the very rare alicorns, which have the traits of all three and are larger overall than the average. Coat and mane colors, as well as particular specialties, vary greatly even within one of the races.

However, they all bleed red. As far as I'm aware only the trolls have different blood colors, and since Equius has already responded to this post I'm just going to let him explain.

The trolls, and one other I'm told. [Actually the "one other" just flat out cheats, but Furor doesn't know that.]

The ponies species sounds interesting though. Perhaps the trolls blood colors are like hair colors for other mammals.

[marearcana]

That could well be true, although at least in ponies it has far less sociological impact.

Agreeing with what everyone else said: I'm pretty sure only trolls have different blood colors.

On my world, humans were the primarily species, but we've also got a race called Homo Magi, and those are humans who have the ability to use magic. In addition, we've got alien species that came down to Earth: there's beings from planets like Krypton, Mars, and Tamaran. Earth didn't have a lot of diversity, but my universe sure did.

The trolls and one other I'm told. [Only because Marco is a cheating cheater cheater.]

Those are still more planets than anyone else seems to have access to around here.

[alwaysanarcher]

Than that other person's just lucky. :)

Most people don't leave Earth, in my experience. Only astronauts and superheroes (and supervillains I guess) travel to other galaxies, and most Earthlings prefer it that way. It's definitely more diverse since people from other planets come to live on Earth, but it's not much different from living in Garden.

ANY species or just the intelligent ones? Blood colour doesn't depend on anything except what proteins are in it. You could make a chimera that bleeds the entire damn rainbow if you really had too much time on your hands.

[cigardog]

What's a chimera?

[rewritethis]

What you get after transmuting a couple of animals together. Or more than a couple, if you're ambitious.
