Recent Changes - A Quick FAQ
10 years ago
So as many have figured out, Gola has joined the ranks of the Bal'kar. As such I have been getting a few questions that I will try to publicly answer.
Q: What the heck are Bal'kar?
A: Bal'kar is a species created by
Neox. You can find an awesome summary about there over here: Bal'kar Overview by Neox
Q: Aren't you just copying Neox?
A: No, I had spoken to Neox some time ago and we had discussed my becoming a Bal'kar. Neox was very excited at the prospect of Gola becoming a Bal'kar and worked with me helping me design my Bal'kar form, letting me know what I could change and what I needed to keep the same. I am very grateful to him for his help and this wouldn't have been possible without his input and patience while I asked a million and one questions. Gola becoming a Bal'kar was done both with Neox's permission and blessing.
Q: But.. but... Gola you were a cute fluffy white wolf and now you are...
A: Not so much a question but a statement but I will do my best to answer it. Gola is now what he was meant to be. I can still appear as a wolf and in fact will for a large amount of the time. Just now I am something more and there are so many more possibilities.
Q: Why a Bal'kar?
A: The answer is fairly obvious if you know me. Bal'kar align so perfectly with my own series of interests it almost felt like Neox designed Bal'kar with me in mind. Add to the fact that I have always had a deep love of the Zerg from StarCraft it just made sense to me. The more I read about Bal'kar the more I had toyed with the idea. Finally, after talking with Neox I just said "fuck it, let's do it" And here we are!
Q: How did you become a Bal'kar? Is there a story behind it?
A: Indeed there is a story. I have been working with Neox and 
DarkWolfSwordsman65 to get the story told. While I don't have anything to share yet, stay tuned. There are fun things in the works!
Q: I had wanted to get a commission with you but now I am afraid you will corrupt me / transform me / consume me / etc?
A: Well fear not! Pre-Bal'kar Gola will still exist in the past. For the few commissions where my Bal'kar self isn't the best suited for it, old me will still be around. I just plan to get a majority of my new stuff as a Bal'kar.
Q: Wait... is that why your eyes are green now instead of the gold?
A: Yes
Q: I don't like the fact you are a Bal'kar now. I am going to unwatch you.
A: I became a Bal'kar for me. I love my character and I love who and what he is. I have been a white wolf for over 13 years and I felt a change was in order. I have been fascinated with Bal'kar since the very first comic of Neox's in which he revealed Bal'kar. This choice of mine had not been made lightly. Even if I spent most of my time in my wolf form changing my eye color from gold to green was a heart wrenching experience, but one I do not regret. When I sat down and drew the new eyes and finished coloring them I knew right then this change was the right choice for me.
Q: How will you different from Neox?
A: I assume you talk about in our Bal'kar forms, because outside of those forms he is a Collie and I am a wolf. Hopefully I will be able to demonstrate for you soon but while most of what makes us Bal'kar is shared, there are a subtle differences between us. I am hoping that in time people will be able to see this differences and recognize oh that is Neox and oh that is Gola.
Q: Aren't you afraid of people thinking you are Neox?
A: Character identity is important to me. Having my character recognizable as himself was a big part of my discussion with Neox. We both felt the same way that we wanted our Bal'kar forms to be similar but stand apart in some way or another. The next step for me is working with an artist to draw up those changes and to ensure that we are indeed different enough. A big fear of mine is that people will see Gola in his Bal'kar form and just think its Neox.
Okay that is it for now. If you have any questions I didn't cover please ask them below. Once again a big shout out goes to Neox for this help in first creating the Bal'kar and second helping me become one.

I am so happy for you Golawaya. I look forward to seeing how this change develops, and what comes from it.
*bear hugs and noses*
But yea, I am super happy about this change. This opens up a whole new world of fun things.
I also hope I can do the story you want justice!
A: I'm sorry I was too busy drooling over rubber pony to catch that question.
AmIright?!
There will be many mating sessions ahead of us...some where we merge and truly become one!
As for mating session and merging. I look forward to the awesomeness that is... well.. that.
Well, if you think a change is needed for yoruself, go for it. ^.=.^ As long as it makes you happy. Though I am often still confused on how the hole Bal'kar thingie works, especially with the mind thing (is it like the Borg-Hivemind or similar?) But well. As long as I am faaaaaaaar away from you, so you won't assimilate me, I am fine with it.
Okay well so the best way I can think to explain how our mind works. We are individuals who share one will. We are capable of functioning as individuals but we are all driven by the same goals, needs, desires, etc.
In the end we will purify all living creatures... Your turn will come.
Now I am curiouis, is it possible for one Bal'kar individual to consume / assimilate another Bal'kar? Like when they are quarreling who will get the next planet's population? ^^
We also don't assimilate we purify (or corrupt depending on your point of view). Our genetic material rewrites yours to make you perfect as well. If you are consumed by a bal'kar, your soul gets fused into one of our eggs and you are reborn as bal'kar.
In the end we will spread across the universe to bring perfection to all and bring about the ultimate one orgasm!
