The Nauticas are a fictional race of people created for the purpose of a mortal kombat story called Mk: Star Realm. This is the 2024 remastered lore with updated bio and images.
Biology
Nauticas (Nah-te-car) are a dark skin humanoid race that possess magical powers and who are worshippers of the night.
Nauticas have five different eye colors. Blue, white, green, red and yellow. But all have a bright white glow to them. Nauticas have gold or silver plating on their head, chest and their stomach. Nauticas also have gold or silver shades on their fingertips and toes. Unlike other humanoid races Nauticas bleed blue blood.
Nobody truly knows what makes the Nauticas unique. But Nauticas know their true origins. As unlike everyone else who was created through the aspects of reality, Nauticas are created through the aspects of Time. Which would explain their unique blue blood.
Nauticas possess superhuman strength and have longer life spans. The Nauticas have a deep connection to magic, but they specialize their source of magic through darkness, shadows, time, the night and the power of the moon and stars. Biologically nobody knows how long the Nauticas can live for. Many believe the Nauticas are immortal, while others believe that Nauticas live for thousands or possibly millions of years. Although everyone collectively agrees that Ashful, her father and her sisters are immortal.
Nauticas only exist in a handful of timelines. Usually as an off shot from the KC Timeline. They don’t exist in the original timeline and they certainly don’t exist in Liu kang’s new era. In truth Nauticas can only exist in a timeline if Kronika is present.
Hybrids
While Ashful's second and third child (Sardis and Vitani )heritage the Nautica's dark skin, blue hair and blue blood, Amphisbaena Ashful's first child heritage a mostly human appearance thus giving her white skin as while as her mix purple blood. This makes her appear as an albino Nautica. Vitani Ashful’s third child inherits Shokan traits such as the four arms and blue horns.
Culture and Religion
Star Realm’s culture is entirely dependent on its Religion and Paganism. Without it the poor Nauticas will have no purpose. Pagan practices include, festivals, offering, sacrifices, orgy parties, tournaments and other religious practices. Their culture shares some characteristics with ancient Rome. Their Clothing is a mix between ancient Greece and China. Though they ain’t afraid to show some skin. In fact it is highly encouraged since Nauticas are firm believers that their bodies belong to the gods and so they act as a living daily sacrifices. Whether that be for pleasure, for blood or to simply act as their vessel. Although they have a sense of their own culture they have borrowed a lot of stuff from other realms. Include traditions, history and objects.
Star Realm is ruled under a Monarchy, usually under an Emperor or a Queen. The Nauticas worship a Pantheon of three Gods. Cetrion Goddess of Nature, Shinnok the God of Death and Kronika the Goddess of time and the supreme creator of Star Realm. Much of their customs are based on the Gods they worship.
About Star Realm
Star Realm itself is a beautiful realm dedicated to the celestial realm. The realm has no day or night cycle, nauticas sleep of their own choosing. The realm has a bright green sun, a scarlet moon and a white dwarf star. The sky is covered in a celestial hemisphere much like the Northern skies. The structure of Nautica society is like a medieval sci-fi fantasy Kingdom. To villages, to sacred pagan temples with large statues dedicated to their Gods. Since Star Realm is dominated by a divisive three way religion Star Realm is divided by three domains. Star Realm could be compared to other realms such as Edenia and Orderrealm. However, Star Realm is considered small compared to other realms.
History
Kronika's Revenge and the creation of Star Realm
Being the formal Elder Goddess of Time, Kronika was banished to the Kept as punishment for her rebellion. Enraged by her fellow Elder Gods, Kronika wanted to make them suffer. While in her imprisonment she found the Hourglass, an ancient artifact of unknown origins and with the power to manipulate time and space. Kronika learns that this artifact can create entire realms from scratch. Using the Hourglass Kronika decides to create a realm, one which she will control, and thus she named this new home Star Realm.
The First Prototype
After Kronika had created Star Realm she wanted the realm to be filled with life, she wanted to create her own people. So she started off with a Prototype. This prototype would later be known as Geras. However Geras wasn't exactly what she wanted. So she remade him so many times until he became the perfect blueprint. However it is not Geras's destiny to be with Star Realm.
"The Emperor" Son of the Gods
After creating her prototype it was time for Kronika to create her first real child. She would name him "The Emperor" The first Nautica to ever exist. For years the half brothers were sent to Star Realm to create life. Eventually after a few millennia Star Realm became a thriving civilization with "The Emperor" as its ruler.
The Birth of the Star Sisters
During “The Emperor” reign he slept with many of Star Realm’s people and his people gave birth to two thousand identical daughters. All who share his green hair and all with moon halo. “The Emperor” would name his daughters the Star Sisters. A group of women who would act to his enforcers.
The Great Civil War
One Day Kronika summons "The Emperor" to join Shinnok in his conquest . However the mission ended in failure. "The Emperor" tried to flee but he was struck down and killed by Raiden. His corpse was sent back to Star Realm to be found by his horrified daughters. Hearing the news Geras took his body to the kept to be held by a weeping Kronika. Kronika grieved for her son. After “The Emperor”’ death Star Realm fell into Chaos as his daughters fought each other for the throne. This Civil War nearly destroyed Star Realm. One of the Star Sisters named Ashful seek the aid of Shinnok's Zealots to help end the war. With their help Ashful created the Crown of Power. To get the attention of her sisters Ashful sat on her father’s throne and declared herself Queen of Star Realm. This infuriated the Star Sisters that they stormed their way into the throne room. Now that her sisters had fallen into her trap she used the crown to trap their spirits into the crown, ending the Great Civil War.
Queen Ashful's reign
With Ashful as its Beautiful Queen, Ashful brought a prosperous era to Star Realm. While Queen, a male Shokan named Mo'unga Tuno stumbled into Star Realm. He was captured and held for interrogation. But Queen Ashful falls in love with the stranger and pardons his crime. When the two confess their love Ashful made Mo'unga her husband and King of Star Realm. Together the two had three children. Named Amphisbaena, Sardis and Vitani.
Thus ends the Nautica Lore.
