[quote=@Polybius] Is this too dark? Just to see where I'm going with this..super WIP. Yes, the name is a pun.

The weird mix of fetishistic ritual and the anarchic nature of unchecked pleasure have culminated in a taboo society of hedonists and utilitarianists. Hidden in a distant sector of the galaxy, and reached only by [i]Tzthaari Warp Gates[/i] is the center of galactic pleasure. The Eleutherios Climax is a loosely joined alliance of planets and stylistically terraformed habi-spheres devoted to various and myriad acts of debauchery, sin, pleasure, obscenity, depravity and so on. Within the spatial territory of these worlds rule various factions of influence, including the Neo-Pagans, The Bacchian Frenzied Midassians, The Whore Queen and the Skin-Wolves of Planet Abattoir. Little can be said of their politics other than they each seek to maintain control over their respective realms of pleasure. A civil war occured some decades ago, when the In the early years, the Sin Stars were simply colonies of societal outcasts, artists and state enemies. [/hider] [/quote] [quote=@Arawak] Time to make some fun funs. Name of Nation: The Abyssal Domain. Species Description: [b]The Calzonit[/b] [img]http://i.imgur.com/1g3aXYb.png?1[/img] The Calzonit are a ancient, powerful species whose origins lie on a world where the seas dried up millions of years ago. Their kind for centuries have traveled the stars as merchants and conquerors all the same. They are nearly eight feet tall on average, with bristled bodies and a distinctive head which seems to have no mouth- only thousands of tiny, square eyes. They do have a mouth, but it is a small mouth under their eyes right above their small, triangular chin. Their head has elaborate hair patterns which come in numerous fashions and arrays, often sprouting from the top of their lenses and to the sides. Their brain you see, is not in their "head", it is in their body. The Calzonit breathe through their back instead of their head, you see. Calzonit as a species are hermaphroditic, with a patterns of intercourse that far more resembles that of a worm than a human. After intercourse, one or even both of the breeding Calzonit may grow a tumor-like external fetus that grows on them until it is six inches in size. After which, the fetus becomes a baby and simply falls off the parent to be nurtured by its parent to working age. The Calzonit as a species are extremely proud of their nature- and look down upon humans as a degenerative form of themselves. They mock the humans who see them as anything other than the ideal form. Yet, humans are widespread and so as a reality of life openly deal with them and other species. Even hive minds the Calzonit begrudgingly tolerate. Area in the Galaxy (Use map posted below): Unsure, but somewhere between the 3-Kiloparsec Arm and Sagittarius Arm is ideal. They aren't huge, only moderate in size. Technological Description; Relatively faster FTL & Advanced defense systems Very rudimentry, almost unitary tech in general; digital/information technology lags behind in general. Genetic modification is minimal at most, but augmentation through cybernetics is frequent. History: Unsure for now, will scan apps for ideas. Government Description: Technocratic Theocracy Cultural/Religious Description: The Abyssal belief system is one based on the ideal worker; the worker is above all in their society. Those who work hardest and most diligent are who lead, the lazy are euthanized. Their society, despite its unitary pretenses values aesthetics with massive temples and statues painstakingly built as monuments to the labor, of which is not a means as with human society, but an end of itself. Or, the Abyssals do not work towards anything but greater profession. There is no real sense of leadership among the Abyssals, which means they are not terribly centralized. Instead it is a lose network of watchmen and planetary fiefdoms ruled by oligarchies of professionals that holds the Abyssal Domain together. Each planet ruled by the Abyssal Domain has a militia fleet for defense, with the domain as a whole having a military fleet ran by a co-culture within the Domains that act as guardians, unwavering in their endless duty to keep the workers free from disruption by slavers and other such banditry. The faith of the Domain is based in the ideal of reincarnation; for after one dies, they are born once more to continue their work. The perpetual labor has been instilled into the minds of those in the Domain by how in their long history every time they had a leader, they grew decadent and society collapsed. Every time. The faith of the Domain has no true origin; rather it is convergence of hundreds of wise individuals who fundamentally re-ordered civilization in a grand revolution that consumed their whole home world. The old ways were purged, systemically wiped out and in its place the instilled purpose of life being to wage war against entropy and chaos, to forever toil is perfection. There is no utopia, for utopia is a state of non-working, of non-living. And is doomed to disaster. There is no end to the grandest task, and no leader can be trusted to achieve these ends- it must be held true from the lowest echelons to the highest echelons of society that the meaning of existence is endless, fulfilling toil and to labor forever and ever more. The qulseoc rejection of reincarnation confuses the abyssals every time, for it would seem the qulseoc do not understand why it is that any belief system where death is stated permanent is a failed belief system. Other; The Calzonit aren't suppossed to be a monoculture even if the unitary society of the Domain seems to indicate such- if someone else wants to make a calzonit culture seperate from the Domains feel free, my species is public domain. I am assuming this RP to be stylized and not the 'tryhard sci-fi opera' genre that always ends in disaster so I will not fret about scale here. I'll just assume 99.9% of all stars in the galaxy to be totally void of any resources beyond rock, iron, gas and ice. [/quote] First one seems good, can't wait to see it completed.
