I'm a Alien Species Wiki user.

How I met this wiki
I like science rather than science fiction (Star Trek V completely ruined this genre for me), though that doesn't prevent me from appreciating well-elaborated and thoughtful, yet fictional life forms.

When I was at an out-of-school Art Class, I first get to know the fictional planet and inhabitants of Darwin IV featured in the novel Expedition by artist Wayne Barlowe, while choosing upon the templates from which we drew.

They weren't by far the aliens I was accustomed to, I mean, you wouldn't have a good time having those Darwinese creatures around, yet I considered that Barlowe was a true genius. Yes, life on Darwin IV varied from ugly to hideous, but all creatures displayed elegance in their own way. The planet surely deserved the name of the English naturist, discoverer of the process giving rise to living beings that work, no matter how bizarre they look.

After googleing about Darwin IV, I came across with the Orion's Arm webpage, featuring a fictional planet around Delta Pavonis coincidentally named the same. And so I later got to know about the alien To'ul'hs and Muuh, together with the diverse transhuman beings that contacted them. The Orion's Arm science fiction setting is a masterpiece to me.

In June of 2016, when I found Alien Species Wiki, I was surprised that it had articles talking about Orion's Arm. My first changes were in the Lignosagittiae article, after thinking that "Damn, this deserves an etymology section." And after that, I didn't help. I needed to add other sections as well, and why not begin entirely new articles?

And so here I am now, pleased to make any contribution to any article about what TV Tropes calls a Starfish Alien.
