[/hider] Species: 73% Concilianda 23% Salutem 4% Other (Subspecies) [hider=Acherontia Concilianda] [img]http://content.screencast.com/users/Jynxfreak/folders/Jing/media/f3a04570-4133-49b3-9f46-9f18ab507376/2016-11-30_2007.png[/img] The namesake of the genus, the Concilianda were bred and housed in the harsh polar regions of Dearoth. As such, they developed huge amounts of fur-like fuzz which helps to insulate their bodies. Their primary diet consists of the abundant mosses that grow in damp gaps in polar ice, of which they reach with their set of long mandibles. Short and portly, Concilianda on average grow in a range of 4’3” to 4’6”. Being natural pacifists and also making up the main part of the Acherontia genus, they consist of the main civilian sector. [/hider] [hider=Acherontia Salutem] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/b1/34/74/b13474e10ba27a9bb539930826bc8dd6.jpg[/img] An oddity of evolution, the Salutem, only if barely, are related genetically to the Concilianda. Once, the Salutem were similar to their brethren. They walked as they did, talked as they did. However, mass migrations of significant amounts of Concilianda took place, settling them in the more temperate region at the equator laden with coniferous forests. Generations phased out useless traits and brought on new ones. The Salutem lost their huge coat of fur, protruding mandibles, and short, portly stature. Instead they became avid carnivorous hunters, preying on the abundance of animals in their home region. A hunting culture developed, with most Salutem even to this day priding themselves in their endurance, accuracy, and fieldcraft. Being a naturally aggressive minority, the Salutem make up the main military population of the Acherontia genus. [/hider] Allegiance and Relations: Due to the Acherontia only having recently entered the interplanetary age, most extraterrestrial nations remain uncontacted, including those of Terran origin. The Government: [hider=Sovereign Executive] The Sovereign Executive is, as mentioned in the name, the executive of body of the Sovereignty.

In prehistoric times, all members of the species were of the Concilianda class. But, it didn’t take long for migration patterns to put an end to that. Evolving in the icy tundras, they grew thick, soft skin and a heavy hide of fuzz. This was a necessary feature in their survival. They did not have as many predators, and instead fed mostly on mosses. They had no qualms against technological advancement, meaning they moved with a rapidity rarely seen. They quickly learned how to farm the mosses, then how to domesticate the animals around them. Then, they began to spread outwards, coalescing across the polar regions while avoiding the temperate regions, seen as a hellscape. They quickly advanced through the ages with little to oppose them. They were an extremely cultured, peaceful society. Wars were rare and few between, as technology continued to pave steadily forwards. Exploration soon began into the temperate regions, with little initial success. This success soon found its way into the limelight, however. This was when the first contact was made. The Concilianda, compared to the Salutem, were particularly advanced; where the Salutem had primitive weaponry, the Concilianda were using crossbows and early matchlock firearms. [/hider] [hider=Pre-Contact Salutem] The Salutem’s beginnings in the temperate but none the less dangerous equator region ensured a strong focus on nomadic travel and hunter-gatherer lifestyles. They dared not leave the cradle of their civilization, wandering the area for what seemed centuries. Their culture made power struggles common within tribes, and further splintered them. That is, until a certain tribal leader, Iago Roi, became perhaps the Genghis Khan of his people. Through isolated warfare, Iago united nearly 15 tribes and clans into a strong civilization that spanned the entire equator valley. The confederation prospered and entered a new golden age, of which some dared to venture outside the valley. [/hider] [hider=Contact and Onwards] Contact between the two species occurred in a precarious situation on both civilizations’ parts. The Concilianda’s scholars’ minds were boggled by the discovery while Salutem leaders cried to conquer. Despite the bumpy beginnings, the two nations developed stable trade. Years passed and it grew into much more than that. By the end of about three centuries, the two nations had basically become one. However, this period was not without strife. Civil war, especially rebellion of former Salutem tribes, erupted on three occasions, all of which ending in mass bloodshed on both sides. Eventual advancement of technology and culture made civil conflict occur less and less. Ages were sped through at double the pace they once had. It seemed another age of prosperity was upon the nation. Though, in reality, it could not have been more far from it. The age of firearms came, sparking new conflict. Small forces armed with muskets could cut down legions of melee troops. Monarchism and Authoritarianism were solidified as defining governments of the period. But, a coup in 492 AC (Acherontia Calendar, beginning at the birth of the Concilianda-Salutem nation) saw democracy take hold. Elected officials allowed citizens say in the government they had never had before, and the democratic experiment turned into a way of life. The new government saw the nation through nearly two and a half more centuries of advancement. In 654, the first spacecraft was launched from the Concilianda wastes, giving new insight on the planet on which they reside, Dearoth, and its three moons. Over the next six decades, other craft were launched to chart other planets in the system, yielding results that delighted and surprised the top scientists of the Sovereignty. For ten years, a new fleet has been in construction, with the aim of colonizing and consolidating their solar system. Now all that is left is to see what is in that great shoreless sea.

About the character application, if I have no main characters will that be ok? I kinda want to narrate things that will happen during the RP with different people or perspective. almost finished sheet [hider=The Egloera Federation] [hider=Name of Country] Egloera Federation [/hider] [hider=Ruler] Ruler/Rulers: Emperor Laka Rolsalhu [/hider] [hider=Species] 98% Terran 2% Other Species from spaces.

The nation will avoid any war with any big nations(players) as possible. [/hider] [hider=Government and History] Now: Absolute Monarchy. The Emperor of Egloera Federation has the absolute power over the state and government. The government have a few departments to aid the management of the civilization. Before: Democratic. Every [i]Earth Council[/i] is formed to look over one single planet. [i]Higher Earth Council(HEC)[/i] is a united council for every leader of the planets in the civilization to discuss more important matters. [hider=History] The original Egloera nation was just a nation in a planet called - Eusht. The planet had many wars, every time and everywhere. The longest war occured for 150 years between two major nations, Egloera was one of them. Eventually, the people of Egloera were tired of the exhausting wars plunging the nation, because of the countless casualties caused by the wars. The leader of Egloera at that time - Jatch Frenstud, gathered every leader on that planet, and signed a treaty, decided to put the past behind them. As the time went by, the civilization developed and the technology were advancing in a quick pace. In just hundreds of years, the civilization has spread out through the entire solar system. The Egloera Federation was established with Earth Council and Higher Earth Council to help govern the whole federation. Egloera Federation has been established for over thousands of years, and even though that the Emperor and the government of Egloera treated their citizens well, there were still groups/pretenders that opposed the government for as long as the federation first established. [/hider] [/hider] [hider=Military Strengths] Few large ships, and mostly small ships like fighters, interceptors etc.. Egloera usually relied on having large ships like aircraft carriers, escorted by few other ships during missions or sorties. A round-shaped special formation is used most of the time which required ships to create layers of wall around the main ships. The large ships will be in the inner layer while small ships like recons and fighters will be on the outer layer of the formation. [hider=The Valiant] The Valiant are the premier capital ships, effectively the space equivalent of the usual aircraft carriers; the first Valiant aircraft carrier was researched and developed three hundreds year ago and has been modified and improved even until the current time. The Valiant is usually escorted by a few ships. The hangar bays on the port and starboard sides can each typically carries many fighters and several useful shuttles. Given the large dimensions of the ship design there is an internal rail car system to transport personnel, especially in the event of a battle alert. [/hider] [/hider] [/hider] Characters Sheet [hider=Irita Selas] Name:Irita Selas Age:31 Species:Terran Place In Story (Job):The Commender of 1st Valiant Fleet Character Description (Physically):169 centimeters height, 42 kilograms. Black short hair, big eyes, sharp face and a pointy nose. Wear glasses most of the time, and a injured visible scar on her left ear. Her left ear were unable to hear anything caused by an incident. Character Description (Mentally): Like to work in teams, outgoing and she is a good thinker, and a strategist. She organise and systematise the world around her, establishing appropriate plans, identifying and implementing the correct procedures, and then endeavouring to make sure they are followed. She try to ensure that roles and responsibilities are properly defined and that appropriate resources or skills are available to undertake the work assigned. Biography: Irita Selas was just like most of the humans, lived and raised in the planet of Eusht. Irita's parents owned a small restaurant in a quiet town. The economy was not doing very well at that time, and she decided to join the army when she was 16 years old. She graduated and became a fighter pilot when she was 20 years old. After a few years, she became a squadron captain for the 2nd Fighter Squad. One time when Irita and her squad was escaping from hostile after they finished their mission, they were lured into a trap and most of her squad members were killed. Irita's aircraft was caught on fire at that time and she jumped out right before the aircraft exploded. The debris caused by the explosion damaged 60% of her body, and her left ear was deaf since. During Irita's recovery time in a hospital, she was awarded few medals. Her story and attitude inspired more youths to join the army and serve the federation. Three years later she recovered and took the role of The Second Commander of 1st Valiant Fleet. The high commander of the fleet was KIA during a sortie so she became the high commander right after that. [/hider] [/quote] Yes, you'll be fine without any characters.

His personal name is Mwene, and his dynastic name is Chiknobani. The rest are just titles. [u][b]Species[/b][/u] The T'ousa are an arboreal, monkey-like species, which, while bipedal, are extremely adept at navigating through the canopies of Awu. They have four insect like eyes, above a mouth somewhere between a terran's and a beak. THey are covered in fur, standing about 5 feet on average, with little sexual dimorphism between males and females, despite the obvious difference in genitalia. They have tails about as long as their bodies, and four arms with two legs, and not much more hair on their head than on the rest of their bodies. THey have muscular arms to navigate the brush, and, despite their size, are usually much stronger than terrans. Their fur is a mixture of light brown, sandy blonde, and black. Many tribal divisions exist based on fur color. [u][b]Allegiance[/b][/u] Mainly themselves. Right now, rather than trying to influence the galactic stage, they simply want to put themselves on it, and want to develop to the capabiliites of the various empires, while at the same time maintaining their sovereignty. [img]http://orig02.deviantart.net/6a2d/f/2009/161/3/2/darkvoid_jungle_by_jjasso.jpg[/img] [u][b]Government[/b][/u] A system of tribal feudalism. Under the Owantiso are chiefs who control large sectors of the planet, and under them are more chiefs, all the way down to small tribal units. The Owantiso is in direct control of the capital city of New Brazil, or in their language, A'wknabanadiwk'alo. Most foreigners say New Brazil. The Owantiso also controls the military as a whole, is in charge of foreign representation, and controls current and future colonization efforts. [u][b]Military Strategy[/b][/u] While the Owantiso controls the military, it is provided by the chiefs, again down to the lowest level. Currently, the Awu military is extremely, extremely archaic. So archaic they fight with bows and arrows. Yeah. That archaic. They mostly act as a guerrilla defense force, and as an internal security force. The small spaceforce the Awu do currently have is a mercenary force, personally paid for out of the Owantiso's account. There is also a small force of fighters who fight in exosuits, with bows that fire energy beams. While they make up the Owantiso's guard right now, their style of combat is to take over the entire Awu military when the proper funding is allocated. [u][b]History[/b][/u] [img]http://pre11.deviantart.net/7414/th/pre/f/2015/137/0/9/jungle_planet_ta_ha_by_charliesaurus-d8tr0ji.png[/img] Awu is a jungle planet off on the fringes of the Milky Way. Because of its proximity to its sun, it is completely covered by large rainforest canopy, and the atmosphere is mostly made of oxygen, resulting in trees the height of which makes the old redwoods of Terra look like shrubs. Even the oceans of Awu are still covered with mangrove forest. T'ousa of Awu, not too long ago, barely knew of each other's existence, spoke various languages, and by terran definition, were completely uncivilized. It was during the late stages of the Empire that Awu was colonized, but, because of the vast canopy, the treacherous wildlife, and their inability to learn any sort of T'ousa language, the Terrans could barely explore the planet, and large swaths of it were left unchecked. Because of Awu's vast quantity of natural recources, they mostly just set up trading posts around the planet, with a centralized capital at New Brazil. Relations between terrans and T'ousa were mostly peaceful. But once the empire collapsed, other powers came to Awu, all setting up their own colonies. And destroying the other ones. And, in the midst of this warfare, and because of lack of laws regulating native relations that existed under the Empire, many T'ousa were enslaved and massacred. But, because of this colonial period, the T'ousa tribes began to know each other. And tribal wars that existed earlier ceased. Under T'ousa Chiknobani Mwene Tiso, the T'ousa united as one federated tribal government, and despite their lack of military technology, ousted the foreign governments in a guerrilla war that lasted about ten years. Under the rule of Mwene Tiso, the government of Awu became increasingly centralized, and the old colonial infrastructure was used to set up communication all over the planet. The independence of Awu became legitimized by establishing relations with many foreign governments, and Mwene Tiso even claimed the rest of Awu's system as Awu territory, and set up their first colony on Awu's moon, which is why the title of the High Chief, Owantiso, translates to 'Moon Chief'. Sadly, Mwene Tiso died about ten years ago, but his son, T'ousa Chiknobani Mwene Tiso II, has taken where he left off, seeking foreign investment into Awu, and trying to modernize the military. Other: Despite their relative weakness, any incursion into Awu itself will be met with a serious problem.
