Soror
21-06-2007, 21:40
Merkavia, A mysterious Continent seemingly removed from the world. Surrounded by a giant reef serving as a natural barrier, this Continent supports a variety of climates from lush tropical rainforests to windswept plains and barren deserts and even tall mountainous areas.
For all this natural landscape, there is seemingly no human government on this land. there is only the ruling council of Soror.
Soror is a nation spread out accross the continent, made of the creatures that inhabit the continent, Five Million in number, the inhabitants decend not from the bloodlines of mankind, but from those of the other great apes, and even still, most creatures on Merkavia seem abnormally intelligent, but none as intelligent as the citizens of Soror. The reason behind this is unclear, though the Sororians seem to worship a mysterious large Black crystal Obelisk they say came from the sky, and even built a Temple to house it in the 1500's when they came to understand architecture.
The Average Sororian is usually either Gorilla, Orangutang, or Chimpanzee in descent. They have closely followed Man's development, having learned to walk soley on two legs and developed Highly advanced brains, advanced only as compared to those of the same species not found on Merkavia.
Sororian Architecture follows Greek and Roman styles, with Persian and Asian influences mized in for variety, though currently there are not many stone buildings, most having been built out of wood.
The Sororian Military does not yet exist, having no need for one due to little to no interaction with outsiders, though there are approximatly 2000 individuals that could be described as an army however they mainly keep the peace on Soror.
Currently, the council of Soror is ruled by the senate, lead by Dr. Nathan Zaius (http://img264.imageshack.us/my.php?image=drzaz4.jpg), a brilliant Scientest and leader of the Faith, The Senate protects the few humans that live on Merkavia, but these humans are as unintelligent there, as most primates are elsewhere.
Concerned with the state of the world's environments, The Council of Soror is currently looking into building a radio Communications tower and contacting the outside world.
OOC: So, this is me. I wanted to try my hand at MT, having had enough of the other techs, and decided to start all over as Soror. Instead of going down the standard human path, I decided to shake things up a little and make the other Great apes intelligent and make humans as unintelligent as the common ape. I was, I admit, inspired by Planet of The apes and what little I've seen of 2001: A Space Odyesse, but I see no reason why a society of apes shouldn't be as good in an RP as a human society. They still die just as easily from a gun. Feel free to post an inteest in doing something. I prefer to explore my history via RP, and as that happens, I'll expand this Factbook and eventually, possibly remake it. If enough people are interested, I'll make a proper Intro RP and we'll see what happens.
