Hello Everyone~!

I just want to say thank you to those few souls that still look at my art and still follow me around. You're great, and you know who you are~

Now then, on to the matters at hand.
Back in 2006 I came up with the Elohim Universe, a Sci-Fi/Fantasy scenario that takes place mainly on a planet of the same name, Elohim.
I've had this story and this world stuck in my head for the past 6 years, but really have not done anything great when it comes to actually writing down the story, or creating a possible world for it. To those few that still remember my art from 2 to 3 years ago, you'll all recognize my old planet Elohim is basically in almost all of them. But there were a few... well a -LOT- of flaws with the world I created so many years ago. And now in 2012 I'm re-imagining the setting of the Universe, and maybe even the story itself.
The story now takes place in a small low gravity moon that orbits the main gas giant in the Kepler-16 binary system. That's all fine and everything, but now I'm missing the filling of the world... the things that must go -IN- it. That is, animals, plants, places... and that is where you, my friends, come in.

I need feedback and ideas for this world to become real. If any of you that still follow me have any inspiration...to create any alien-lifeforms, places, art, or just some helpful critique, it is all welcome...and WANTED! Ich brauche hilfe!

Here are some specifications:
-Elohim has a gravity of 0.80% that of Earth. (0.80g)
-Elohim radius is 5,212.2Km
-Elohim has a highly active geologic cycle. (Highly active volcanoes and plate tectonics.)
-Mountains on Elohim are much higher than mountains on Old Earth, and much more common too.
-Elohim has 8 continents and countless tropical island chains. (Nice places for a resort?~ ;3)
-Elohim's atmosphere is much thicker than Old Earth's.
-Because of the thick atmosphere and the low gravity, plants and animals can become airborne quite easily. (Yes, floating plants.)
-Biochemistry on Elohim is almost exactly the same as biochemistry on Old Earth, so humans can live easily in it.

Well that's it. If you have ANY suggestions at all...please do tell me. Leave a comment on this entry. I will read them all, and take them all into consideration.

Love you all, thanks for your time!
Chinchin!

Best regards!
-BinaryRising, Mystia Lorelei~

Liking the name. Strong mythical connection there, considering that it's also the Hebrew name for God.

I would assume, considering current theories put forth by NASA, that in a lower gravity setting life forms will tend to be taller and more "airy" or thin than those on earth. So if biochemistry is about the same on your planet, I would suggest taking some of the more bizarre earth plants and creatures and stretching them out a bit. But it's your planet, so of course do what you wish :)

Less gravity also gives the potential for the intelligent specie(s) (if any) to build plausible dirigible-style airships...
