Unchecked Lifeform

Unchecked Lifeforms are species that arise and evolve without the direct design or intervention of a Divine or higher cosmic intelligence. These lifeforms grow within the natural laws of their Universe, shaped solely by time, environment, and chance—yet animated by the same spiritual spark that fuels all living beings: the Primordial Spirits born during the Divine Fathoming.

Though some Divines and scholars refer to them as Xenomorphic Lifeforms, the term Unchecked carries a different meaning. It does not denote alienness or monstrosity, but rather independence—a creation allowed to unfold without divine supervision.

Origin and Nature

Unchecked Lifeforms emerge from the fundamental chemistry of their universes: proteins, carbon chains, elemental cycles, and quantum resonance. Where divine intention is absent, the latent energy of the Divine Fathoming still lingers in matter. Over millions or billions of years, this residue finds form, giving rise to primitive organisms which evolve naturally through mutation and adaptation.

Despite lacking a designed blueprint, the souls within these creatures are no less sacred. Each is a Primordial Spirit, a fragment of divine essence clothed in self-assembled flesh. The Divine Parents of each universe recognize them as children of circumstance—life that found its own way home.

Some universes produce only a few worlds capable of such spontaneous life; others teem with Unchecked biospheres, where evolutionary arms races create lifeforms of astonishing complexity and power. The Mechanist Sects of Galaxa classify such evolution as “autonomous divine recursion”—the universe teaching itself to live.

Relationship with Divinity

Unchecked Lifeforms test the patience and humility of Divines. While the Divine Parents may sculpt some life directly, many choose to leave sectors of their universes to unfold freely. This act is not neglect but reverence—a trust that creation, infused with the spark of the divine, can create beauty even without oversight.

In the The Yonder Realm, it is said that the First Divine Parents themselves decreed that every universe should contain at least one Untended World—a realm where life would grow without guidance, as a reflection of freedom and unpredictability within perfection. The existence of Unchecked Lifeforms thus becomes a living parable of free will at the biological scale.

Some Divine Children are assigned to observe these worlds from afar, cataloguing the self-born ecologies. Rarely, a Divine may fall in love with such a world and choose to walk upon it, guiding one of its species gently into awareness. These stories often end with the rise of new civilizations that blend evolution and divinity, forming bridges between instinct and enlightenment.

Distinction from Xenomorphic Lifeforms

Unchecked Lifeforms are sometimes mistaken for Xenomorphic Lifeforms, but the difference lies in origin and influence.

• Unchecked Lifeforms evolve naturally within the Universal Law, untouched by external forces.
• Xenomorphic Lifeforms are often shaped by corruption, mutation, or the Contradiction—life warped beyond its natural intent.

Unchecked species may be strange, dangerous, or incomprehensible to mortals, but they are not inherently malevolent. Their existence proves that the Divine Fathoming itself is fertile enough to generate spirit and consciousness without further intervention.

Philosophical Interpretations

Scholars of the Celestial Colleges view Unchecked Lifeforms as living manifestations of divine patience—proof that the cosmos possesses its own creative instinct. To them, these creatures represent the ultimate act of trust by the Divines: that even unguided, the universe will still remember how to make beauty.

Mechanist philosophers argue that Unchecked Lifeforms demonstrate the fractal intelligence of Universal Law itself—each protein and atom obeying divine equations so perfectly that life inevitably emerges. Meanwhile, the Faunia believe such beings are “children who have not yet heard the song,” destined to one day commune with the divine source once awareness blossoms.

Modern Observations

Unchecked Lifeforms have been documented across multiple universes, particularly in the outer galaxies of Kosmos and Galaxa, where Divine oversight is minimal. In some cases, these species have reached technological sophistication, developing science in place of faith. Yet, even without acknowledging their origin, the light of their Primordial Spirit remains visible to those who can perceive the soul-field.

During the Convergence, several Unchecked worlds became contact points for divine and mortal travelers, producing hybrid civilizations that blurred the line between evolution and design.

Trivia

• The first recorded Unchecked species to achieve spaceflight were the Kethari of Kosmos, who evolved from aquatic predators without divine intervention.
• The Valorik word for Unchecked Lifeform, dûr’kethuun, translates to “the self-awakened.”
• In some Divine scriptures, Unchecked species are said to remind even the gods of humility—that perfection needs no hand to guide it.
• It is considered a holy act among the Divine Children to observe an Unchecked world without interference, as an offering of respect to the will of creation itself.
