Hi guys,
In this news we'd like to share game lore about the species of the After Reset world. This news is dedicated to Insects.
Beyond that, if you've just joined to our daily news stream, you can find previous data about other species at these links:
Species in After Reset RPG: Part I. Humans.
Species in After Reset RPG: Part II. Animals.
A species is one of the basic units of biological classification and a taxonomic rank. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring.
IMPORTANT NOTES: Due to storyline limitations, you can choose only Human species for your character in After Reset RPG's single-player mode. Despite that, you will meet a variety of other species during your adventure in the world of the game.
INSECTS:
Insects are invertebrate eukaryotic organisms having an external skeleton, a segmented body, and jointed appendages. Insects as a species are general representation of Arthropoda, i.e. "foot" or "leg", which together mean "jointed leg", and include the insects (wasps, grasshoppers, flies, cockroaches, beetles, isopods, etc.), arachnids (scorpions, spiders, mites, etc.), crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, shrimps) and trilobites (almost extinguished by the Past Age, that name is now used by scientists of SOC for all type of insects with non-earth DNA).
Even before the Reset, the number of insects is estimated at between six and ten million, and potentially represented over 90% of the different animal life forms on Earth. Insects could be found in nearly all environments, and were one of the largest groups in the food chain on Earth. Their real challenge is the cold - insects are unable to produce heat metabolically. Most of their survival techniques involve skirting around freezing weather – migration, freeze tolerance (waiting for the sun), or freeze avoidance (habitat and supercooling).
Because of their prevalence, vitality, unpretentiousness, high radiation resistance and reproduction rate, the insects became the largest and the most widespread organisms within the warm regions of Earth after apocalypse. By 132 A.R. its representatives could be easily found even in Red Zones. With that, as the most prevalent source of proteins, insects became the major brick in the biological food chain on the surface.

That is all for today, I hope you've enjoyed reading that lore.
There other parts of the lore about species is coming (Plants, Synthetics, Biomass, Incorporeals). And according to our tradition, after the end of that small series we'll put those pretty concept arts in HD available to our backers exclusively.
Thanks for your support and stay tuned!

Oh god, people make gains by eating insects? D:
Never bet to eat spider or worm? :-D
They contain a lot of proteins without a fat :)
The thought is just abit disgusting, considering that insects are normally found in the dirtiest of places, going for their entire lifetimes without sanitation.
For modern Europeans - yes. Anyway, even among Western science - insects are regarded as a food of future.
People hate and fear insect becasue they do not know much about them
Most of them is far away from dirtiest, disgusting places
And funny that most modern europeans have no problem to eat honey -which is, simply said, bee vomit
