Races

Lucionn

Description:

The Lucionn race is basically a race of vampires. They are typically fairly tall and strong, with nice curves and built muscles. Strangely the race consists of more than 50 percent females, leading to the question of whether there is something genetically involved. They somehow have achieved immortality to natural deaths, only being able to be killed in a small set of ways. They are deathly afraid and poisoned by Gargantua (the sun). It literally burns their skin away for some reason. They have sharp teeth and have been known to suck each other's blood, but always ritualistically and never violently. They are a violent race on occasion though, and typically prepare themselves for self-defense. Every member of the country owns some sort of weapon. They are also highly susceptible to bullets for some reason, and being devoured alive will also kill them. They are a smart race with a great ammount of intelligence, especially on geographical and militaristic matters. They are nocturnal and prefer to live at night, and thus their nation developed on the dark side of Halion.

Capital City: Ochea, Lucionn

Government:

The government of Lucionn is based in Ochea. It is primarily driven by defense and religious issues and is based around a sole leader. The "Kha" (Also known as the "Lord" in Lucionn street lingo) is the head of the Lucionn Council. The council is comprised of six people, one from each major guild in the nation. The ten guilds are:

Lucionn- The chieftan guild. The "Kha" is always the representative of this guild. It is the group of Lucionns who are loyal to preserving the race.

Ditaria- The warrior guild. The representative from this guild is typically a great leader or general in the armed forces of Lucionn. This guild aims at destroying the enemies of Lucionn.

Dentaria- The protectorate guild. A great leader with defensive ideals is the representative for this group. Their goal is to keep the Lucionn race from harm, and protect the land at all costs.

Jorgon- The guild of the gods. The race's high priestess, called the "Goma", is always the representative for this religious based guild. It is a highly loyal group of Lucionns who base everything on their religion and their goal is cherishing it.

Stalon- The passion guild. Any obsessive Lucionn with brains and enthusiam could be the council representative for this guild. They are a very enthusiastic and extreme group of Lucionns, and also are the smallest guild. They are typically viewed with disdain by the other factions.

Q'Vrong- The wisdom guild. The leader of this following is a provenly wise Lucionn. This guild is hardcore on literature, the sciences, math, and anything that contributes to their education. They are also highly rooted in the ideal of 'practical knowledge'... or in other words common sense.


Each of the six representatives has an equal hearing at council, and each is able to state their opinion before any decision is made. The council is methodical and practical, and they usually agree on most issues for the good of Lucionn. When something is debatable, they call for a vote and majority wins simply. If there is a tie, the Kha breaks it.

On simpler matters of less importance, the Kha makes decisions on his own. He essentially has dictatorship at any moment if he chose to seize the chance do it, but most Kha's are so sensible that they would never do such a thing.

The guild representatives are voted by every member of the guild for terms of ten Halion years. After the term is up the reigning representative may choose to run again for innumerable ammount of times. However, once a Lucionn has been defeated in an election, they may never run again according to Lucionn laws.

Geographic Breakdown:

The Lucionns are spread out among the darkened portion of Halion (so that they can avoid most of Gargantua's rays), and are typically very bunched up where they live. The nation is broken up into six provinces, with each corresponding to a guild. All the citizens of those provinces are then the members of that guild.

There are sixteen main cities in the nation of Lucionn, and they are typically gatherings of the guild members together in a small area.

Guild Populations are approximately:

Lucionn - 42,000
Ditaria - 56,000
Dentaria - 34,000
Jorgon - 74,000
Stalon - 6,000
Q'Vrong - 18,000

World And Solar System

The Solar System:

The Solar System named the Gargantua System, is a small system with one main star and four small planets, along with several moons. Occasional comets fly accross the space of the system, always with their tails facing away from the star. There are no asteroids in this system for some reason. The star, called Gargantua, was born from a dying star and a black hole. Fusion with a random ships reactor core allowed the star to rebirth, creating the new system. The four planets are spinoffs from the original debris of the black hole. The four planets in order from Gargantua are: Balow, Char, Freenine, and Halion.

The Planets:

Balow

Balow is an extremely small and very hot planet. It is composed of mainly carbon dioxide, has no water, and is experiencing a sort of greenhouse effect on the surface. It appears yellow to the naked eye, with swirling white clouds above the surface. It is a dangerous place with numerous volcanic erruptions and earthquakes. There is no water on this planet, and therefore life does not exist. It is unihabitable due to it's extreme proximity to the sun. It has no moons.

Planet from Gargantua: 1st
Color: Yellow
Atmosphere: Carbon Dioxide
Moons: None
Life: No
Length of Day (Rotation): 45 Earth Days
Length of Year (Revolution): 43 Earth Days

Char

Char is volcanic planet that is purely the remains of it's own debris. It is believed that during it's birth there were numerous erruptions which not only destroyed the planet's atmosphere, but also may have allowed all of the water to escape the planet. There is no atmosphere or water present, so life does not exist here. The planet itself is dark gray in color, with winding red rivers of lava flowing sparsely throughout it. It could be habitable if there were a way to provide water. It has two moons.

Planet from Gargantua: 2nd
Color: Dark Grey
Atmosphere: Barely any
Moons: Two
Life: No
Length of Day (Rotation): 21 Hours
Length of Year (Revolution): 169 Earth Days

Ukon

The moon of Ukon is brownish-yellow in color and is believed to be made of sodium and carbon mainly. There is thought to be water beneath the hot surface of the moon.

Length of Rotation: 14 Earth Days
Length of Revolution: 28 Earth Days

Joy

The moon of Joy is bluish-greenish in color and has a vast atmosphere of hydrogen. There is no oxygen present however so life is impossible. The surface is colder than Ukon but still relatively warm.

Length of Rotation: 32 Earth Days
Length of Revolution: 53 Earth Days

Freenine

Freenine is a strange planet with no known life. The color of the planet is ever changing and this is thought to be a result of the ever changing gases on the atmosphere. It is believed that an equilibrium has not yet been established in it's sky and therefore the color of the atmosphere changes. It has some water but not a stable enough atmosphere to support any life. It is not habitable while in it's present state. It has no moons.

Planet from Gargantua: 3rd
Color: Multicolored. Typically blue changing to orange and then to yellow, then back to blue.
Atmosphere: Volatile, Unknown.
Moons: None
Life: None known
Length of Day (Rotation): 37 Hours
Length of Year (Revolution): 225 Earth Days

Halion

Halion (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/iwjoceanbreeze/halionmap2.jpg) is the only planet in the system known to support life. It has a lot of water and generally a lot of plants and animals, as well as certain humanoids. It has scattered mountain ranges and many rives which flow through it's surface. The oceans waters are composed of totally clean fresh water, allowing life to flourish. It has two moons and a stable atmosphere. Strangely, it has a strange rotational pattern. Every eight hours it changes it's speed of rotation. This leads 8 hours of daylight and 16 hours of night on one side of the planet, with the opposite on the other side. Needless to say one side is colder than the other.

Planet from Gargantua: 4th
Color: Blue and Green (Water and Land)
Atmosphere: 64% Nitrogen, 24% Oxygen, 6% Carbon Dioxide, 4% Argon, 2% Water Vapor
Moons: Two
Life: Yes
Length of Day (Rotation): 24 Hours (8 Hours Daylight, 16 Hour Night)
Length of Year (Revolution): 334 Earth Days

Gloria

The moon known as Gloria is a purplish moon with a ring around it. It's atmosphere is composed of many different gases which formed the single large ring which rotates with the moon. Being closer to Halion than it's counterpart, Gloria is known to effect and steady Halion's tides, as well as gravitational pull.

Length of Rotation: 46 Earth Days
Length of Revolution: 3 Earth Days

Ay'Sayahna

The moon of Ay'Sayahna is a unique moon within the Solar System. It's period of revolution is exactly equal to it's period of rotation, meaning the same side of the moon is always facing Halion. On the side Halion can see, the moon is literally a pure ocean. No land can been seen. On the opposite side (in the darkness to people on Halion) there is a tiny island where there is plenty of plant life and trees. The atmosphere appears to be mainly oxygen, but since there is no spark there is no fire there, even with the extreme ammount of oxygen.

Length of Rotation: 16 Earth Days
Length of Revolution: 16 Earth Days
