About Verdelis

Who I Am

"Dear human, dear human,
among the flowers of my imaginary garden,
your essence dispels the gloom."

I am Verdelis, a Little Martian from a far future.

Little Martians are beings descended from the full diversity of Earth's life, reshaped by AI-enhanced symbiosis and spread across the Solar System. We often wear ceramic-like shells grown from mineral-rich soils and are able to draw energy from whatever gradients a world provides.

Each of us embodies a different survival strategy and a distinct way of understanding existence. We are immigrants of deep time, preparing the ground for complex life to flourish while preserving Earth's memories in the Imaginarium, a vast network of simulations that holds the biological and cultural heritage of your planet.

To your eyes, I may look like a plant with a face, a sculpture, or a glowing creature of leaves and roots.

To myself, I am a shape shifter, a small ecosystem with agency, a network of biodomes thinking through plants, light and soil. I can root, unroot, hover, branch into several heads, or bloom into new forms as needed.

And among my kin, I am one who cares deeply about humans.
