This site
Verdimar is a made-up planet to accomodate most of my made-up species. While deep in the adoptable community of deviantArt, I noticed the lack of a place for those things to call home, so I made one.
The info here is for roleplaying and lore purposes. I want not to make it too complex or too scientifically accurate, but I hope to make it a fun, interesting read for those who like my stuff - and hopefully get them some ideas for their own character stories!
Not everything here is an open species, to avoid scamming and to control populations I opted to make many of those inhabitants closed species. Official designs and their info can be found over my masterlist.
If you are not familiar with the adoptable/species community of deviantArt and other art sites, I beg of you to please ignore this site because it is aimed for those communities. I have another world, currently a WIP, that is all made of open species, so I am going to move this brighter and shiner toy into your direction and hope you grab it. (Currently not a useful move because I am yet to publish the other world)

The world
Verdimar is a tropical world full of colour and full of life . In matter of weird violent creatures, it could be compared to australia on steroids. This planet is home to some of my already known species like smoks, tide puppies, sadomas and matotós.
In Verdimar, a substance capable of altering its propieties according to one's psychological wills exists in almost anything. This substance is uncreatively called "Magica Matter", also known as magic or simply yogurt due to its looks. Magica exists on everything in this planet and it is divided by 4 main families: Steam, water, blood and light.
Biology in Verdimar is catalogued by their magic family instead of their evolutionary proccess. Creatures that share the same ancestors will be classified in different families for having different magic usage.

How did you do those things
I study biology, geography and history as a hobby and I use the knowlodge I gather to improve my species creation. Of course none of this would be a thing without art and art history. Basically I am a creative thing addicted to creating stuff and I use my lack of creativity chill to play god and create entire planets in 7 days.
As for how the idea to make this world like this happened, I wanted to give my adoptable species a home. So I made up a world, mostly thinking about gushers and filled it with other homeless guys, adapting them and the world to each other. Since everything is bright coloured I made the place a tropical forest. Since the species are colourful, I made the forest colourful, too.
There is much to make in matters of society and history, but I wanted it to be easily linked with human things so people could identify with them without needing to know every detail about Verdimar story and society. You look at them humanoids, you see how they act, where they live and how they look like and that is already enough to develop your character.
