Evolutionary Template

Evolutionary Template
The Ancient Humanoids (Star Trek: TNG) were the original basis of evolution for countless different species across numerous worlds, granting those species a form and shape similar to their own.
Power/Ability to:	Be the foundation/template for the process of evolution.

"We knew that one day we would be gone, and that nothing of us would survive. So we left you. Our scientists seeded the primordial oceans of many worlds, where life was in its infancy. The seed codes directed your evolution towards a physical form resembling ours. This body you see before you, which is of course shaped as yours is shaped, for you are the end result. That was our wish. That you too, would know life, and would keep alive our memory. There is something of us in each of you. And so, something of you in each other. Remember us."
