The War Of The Human Throne - tag: twotht
Genre: Fantasy adventure (you can tell I love this genre)
What is it about: There are lots of races in this world; each one is fighting the other in a centuries-long war for the title of “true human”. One of my oldest and favorites.
Zai (he/him) - Main traits: Skeptical, pacifist, ethical, solution oriented mindset so learns quickly. Zaire is a hybrid; a part of the world’s percentage who lives away from the war, in a utopian-ish nation called Itarja, where lots of different people from different races could live in peace and harmony… until the fire nation attacked. A nearby nation wanted to invade Itarja and erradicate all the “unpure” other-raced and hybrids who were not “pure humans”. Zai and some others managed to escape and flee to another country… who sheltered them, but in exchange, the refugee Itarjans would have to “serve the country”: The people who were of other races would work as labor for the government, and the ones who had some human blood (according to their standards) would serve in the military. Zaire, having some of their preferred genetics, was sent to a militar academy, where he met Miriam.
Miriam (she/her) - Main traits: Idealistic, focused, gentle. Miriam is one of the top-students at the academy and she fully believes in the War going on. She thinks that they, the true humans, once have won the war, would inflict no suffering upon the conquered and would rule as the superior race with mercy (she’s a little brainwashed). She met Zaire when he was being bullied by some pure-blooded students and using of her fame and authority sent them away. Since then, she and Zaire became friends. Zaire would often conftont her about her beliefs and how could she think this was right, why did she support the war, and she would be a little shaken up but ultimately stay true to her beliefs. She didn’t hate the other races; she hated that there was war in the first place, but since there was once, she was the one that was going to win. “You can’t assure that the winner is a well-meaning one unless you are the winner” (not true btw). One day, her class, including her and Zai, went to a field training and both of them got captured by an enemy surprise attack.
Polaris (he/they/it/she? not sure, he/him for now) - Main traits: Complacent, empathetic, stoic, selfless, skilled. Polaris is a super-soldier created in laboratory to serve his country. Basically a “living weapon”. He has a lot of different races mixed on him so the State doesn’t consider him a proper “human” and there is no legal or ethical barrier to anything that’s done to him. He is kept in a watched facility with people responsible for him whenever nobody needs him, and he hates, hates his job. Making people die, making people suffer, and whenever he refused to follow orders, there would always be consequences. He learned not to defy his superiors times ago. One day, he is in this military base deep into enemy territorry coz they needed him there, and someone got prisioners. Zaire and Miriam. At some point he is chosen to watch them, and they kind of convince him to free them. He is drowning in guilt and when Miriam and Zai are free, they manage to make Polaris go with them. I don’t know much about this part, but after this unexpected rescue, the three come to the conclusion that they are going to stop the war.
Aalyah (he/it) - Main traits: Focused, hateful, somewhat gentle,tho. Aalyah is Miriam's younger brother. Some years ago, when their family received the message that she was deas, he decided he'd be the one to end the war--by winning it. And inflicting his revenge on every "non-human" he finds in his way.
