NEUTRAL SPACE
THE SAGITTARIUS ARM
DAEDALUS SYSTEM
Janus is a polar locked planet, forever day on one side, and forever night on the other. The "hot" side of Janus is scorched by thermal radiation from Daedalus, uninhabitable and beyond the powers of terraforming. The "cool" side, however, is the ideal temperature for colonization. Janus is the most populous planet outside of Alliance space, the "cool" side covered entirely in a massive urban complex, housing offices for every major corporation and private military group in the galaxy, as well as a thriving service and entertainment industry. It is commonly believed by Alliance officials that Janus is run by the Ouroboros Exchange Company, the planet serving as the staging area for the majority of its illegal operations. OEC is rumored to run rackets throughout the entirety of the planet's habitable area.
MERAXES SYSTEM
Demeter is a idyllic, agrarian community under the jurisdiction of the Materiologist Union. The climate and fertility of Demeter's soil allows the MU to produce its own crops and manage its own livestock, allowing them to remain independent and self-sustaining. The majority of the inhabited areas are covered in loosely collected ranches, farmsteads, and hamlets, all heavily guarded due to pirate and slaver activity in the area. Demeter hosts several state of the art medical facilities despite its rural nature, funded and operated by the MU in order to treat Materiologists who have developed conditions related to their abilities.
THE OUTER ARM
HORUS SYSTEM
Oceanus is a planet covered by one giant oceans, thousands of miles deeper than oceans located on Earth or Terra Nova. Despite its apparent lack of land, Oceanus is home to several underwater facilities operated by the Synthetics' Rights Group. The facilities serve as a safe haven for Synthetics fleeing the Animus and a research facility attempting to gain better insight in to the Synthetic mind.
PAX SYSTEM
Boreas is an ice world far outside of the traditional habitable zone of its star Pax. In spite of this fact, Boreas was developed to house testing facilities for major corporations outside of Alliance jurisdiction. Boreas hosts on major city, entirely indoors and environmentally sealed, but laboratories are scattered throughout the more "temperate" regions of the planet. In the event that any samples escape the lab, they would certainly die in the cold, protecting the corporation in question's interests.
THE PERSEUS ARM
CERIAN SPACE
THESEUS SYSTEM
Ceres is a blue planet, covered almost entirely by vast oceans. What little land is available on Ceres is mostly beach and marsh, leaving little room for agricultural growth. As such, life on Ceres, including plant life, lives underwater, though many native species, such as the Cerians, are amphibious. While Cerians were initially opportunistic bands of scavengers trying survive predators on land, the advent of biodome technology allowed the Cerians to construct cities. All Cerian cities, whether on Ceres or colonial, are partially submerged, the water kept out by a kinetically shielded biodome.
POSEIDON SYSTEM
Set is, like Caelus, a desert planet, the difference being Set's lack of a thick atmosphere. Solar radiation on the surface is deadly after more than an hour of exposure. Set's massive underground caverns and water reservoirs led to the development of life despite the planet's harsh conditions. Life on Set developed underground, using the massive caverns and the tunnels connecting them to travel the planet. Setian cities on their homeworld are still built underground, despite the ability to make changes to Set's atmosphere, the result of cultural preservation. Setian colonies, however, are built above ground, using Cerian dome technology to filter out solar radiation that would be lethal to Setians.
MAJOR COLONIES
CERIAN Virsok, Haeboln, Taeponi, Aelbana, Zawal, Basan, Aenoln, Raeban
SETIAN Vekik, Uson, Yotol, Vuwol, Basok, Rostar
SYNTHETIC SPACE
SOL SYSTEM
Earth has been occupied by the Animus for the better part of three hundred year, as per the agreement made with the machine. Prior to the beginning of the war with the Animus, there was little interest in Earth—most believed it to be a dying world. Recent scans, however, suggest the Animus has completely reconstructed the Earth, using terraforming technology far beyond that of the Alliance species. Preliminary scans also suggest that large parts of the Earth's core and mantle have been replaced with machinery, and massive cities, built over the ruins of those left by humanity, can be seen even from space. It is believed that machinery under the Earth is used to house additional Synthetic platforms and store information obtained during consensus. Synthetic colonies are set up in the same manner, allowing Synthetics to access information and operate more effectively farther away from the Animus. These "server colonies" are heavily guarded, and some have been outfitted with construction facilities to produce additional units.
HADES SYSTEM
Planet Genesis is a pre-garden world riddled with seismic and volcanic activity, serving as the home for the first and largest Synthetic processing facility. The facility is heavily guarded by ground, outfitted with several advanced AA towers and kinetic barriers, as well as surrounded by a veritable army of Synthetic combat units. The majority of the Synthetic fleet is stationed at Genesis in preparation for an attack from Caelian space.
HUMAN SPACE
PROMETHEUS SYSTEM
Terra Nova is the first extra solar colony founded by a currently extant species, and since it has become the heart of human space. Terra Nova is an early garden world, its current stage comparable to the Jurassic period on Earth. Aside from differences in topography, slight variations in climate, and unique speciation, Terra Nova is just like Earth. Human cities stretch across vast sections of the planet, but modern construction practices have allowed the environment to remain stable despite supporting a massive population. Human colonies are constructed on similar early to mid-stage garden worlds, using terraforming practices where needed to convert atmospheric compounds.
ARGYROS SYSTEM
Perseus Station is the Confederacy of Human Systems' military command outpost, a highly advanced station located a safe distance Argyros. At any given time the station houses more than two million military personnel, from support staff to marines and technicians assigned to the station. Perseus Station features both military defenses and civilian comforts, due to its proximity to neutral space and the length of time people are assigned to the station. Unlike Chronos Station, Perseus Station does not have artificial day and night cycles in place.
MAJOR COLONIES Rhea, Tethys, Themis, Dione, Aurai, Naiades, Althaia, Eione, Apate, Aegia, Epiphron, Corus, Agon, Mache, Calleis, Zelus, Krithê, Kedros
THE SCUTUM-CENTAURUS ARM
ALLIANCE SPACE
CHRONOS STATION
Alliance space is home to Chronos Station, the so-called center of the galaxy and the heart of government in civilized space. Chronos Station is massive, stretching more than 100 kilometers in any direction. In the center lies the massive Biosphere, which provides food for the station, hosts the Alliance Tribunal, the embassies of all Alliance member species, and is home to various major corporations, shops, and restaurants. The Biosphere is programmed with an artificial day and night cycle. Connected to the Biosphere by bridges are the six wards, where the majority of the stations residents live and work.
Chronos Station boasts several layers of defense. First, the constantly shifting nebulae of the Olympus System make navigating the area difficult without being in contact with Station Control, making a concerted attack nearly impossible to achieve. Furthermore, Chronos Station is surrounded by an asteroid field, nearly impossible to navigate without receiving updated asteroid drift charts from station control. While the station has kinetic barriers strong enough to deflect any asteroids, the vast majority of enemy ships do not. The last layer of defense is the Alliance Fleet, led by the ASV Jupiter. The fleet boasts more than five hundred ships.
MAJOR COLONIES Matovo, Ke'raya, Gaitis, Episia, Hadok, Aesall, Lygos, Kyparissos
ELESMERI SPACE
STYX SYSTEM
The cultural center of the Styx System is Elesmere, the home planet of the Elesmeri people. Elesmere is almost entirely tropical, with the exception of the polar caps, the result of its proximity to the white dwarf Styx. Elesmere is covered almost entirely in rain forests, broken only by massive mountain ranges that trap humidity within their valleys. The cities of Elesmere are built above ground, both to prevent damage to the environment and to protect machinery from the humidity at ground level. The cities are constructed in tiers, the largest standing several kilometers above the ground. Elesmerei colonies are typically constructed in tropical locations and often feature the same type of architecture in order to avoid terraforming.
ARTEMIS SYSTEM
Physis is a standard garden world covered in dense, temperate deciduous forests. Physis is unique in that it doesn't have oceans, or any salt water, but rather massive fresh water lakes and rivers. Physian cities are built in to their trees, spread over wide areas of forests in order to prevent dense urbanization and overpopulation. Physian colonies are terraformed to match the climate and topography of Physis, the Physians often bringing "starter forests" with them.
MAJOR COLONIES
ELESMERI Nasar, Dantios, Praris, Kesriphea, Vaezha, Radiria, Edari, Vatis
PHYSIAN T'erre, Radire, Vaarasha, T'vaora, Ishalra, Thanoala
CAELIAN SPACE
AURORA SYSTEM
The cultural center of the Aurora System is Caelus, the homeworld of the Caelian people. Caelus is a planet covered in massive deserts the size of oceans, with very limited water and other natural resources. Nomadic Caelian warbands and the ruins of old Caelian cities still dot the massive deserts, but the technology given to the Caelians by Humanity has made life on Caelus much easier. Modern Caelian cities are built along the coast, featuring half-domes in order to keep out dry wind from the desert and trap favorable coastal winds. Caelian colonies are constructed in a fairly standard fashion, and are typically the opposite of Caelus in terms of climate.
HERCULES SYSTEM
Chloris is a green planet with no oceans, all of its water stored underneath the surface in massive reservoirs. As such, Chloris is home to incredibly diverse plant life, including several species that qualify as both animals and plants. Chlorisian cities are fairly standard, spread out across the planet and densely populated. Chlorisian colonies often undergo extensive terraforming to match the ecology of Chloris, including changes in the atmosphere to ensure the proper amount of sunlight can be obtained.
MAJOR COLONIES
CAELIAN Alria, Jutana, Meria, Tibius, Dectis, Caeltana, Seilea, Valetana
PHYSIAN Voreria, Tulcus, Aulso, Velna, Nuius, Procutus
IMPORTANT LOCATIONS
OVERVIEW
Despite the number of colonies, industrial centers, space stations, and even fully populated worlds, less than 1% of the Milky Way galaxy has been explored. The entirety of spacefaring civilization has developed along the spiral arms of the Milky Way, connected via FTL Anchors—as a result, civilization across the galaxy is confined to densely populated star clusters.
The most populated areas of the galaxy are its largest arms—the Perseus Arm and the Scutum-Centaurus Arm—which contain all of the major civilizations in the galaxy. Outside of the two main arms, there is little but scattered pirate fortresses, mercenary outposts, and industrial plants, punctuated by anchors that connect to wild space, the vast, unexplored regions not yet mapped by the Alliance's exploratory fleet.
Staul D'linaro + Guardian + Physian + 42 = STRG Agent
“A man does not need be overburdened with words to force others to listen.”
Staul is a terse and capable warrior. Training among his native people -though under the sedate Republic- saw him learn to use his considerable strength and agility. Appointed to the STRG nine years ago after serving 15 as a Marine for the Elesmeri Republic, he stands firm on many years of discipline and procedure.
CANON LIST FINISHED
So, we have finally finished the CANON LIST and our list of WANTED CANONS for the site. This means we’re one step closer to being ready to do our soft opening! In any case, we’re going to go ahead and open canon reserves! Everyone can reserve one canon, wanted or otherwise, and one face. Those who have already reserved a face will be allowed to reserve an additional face. Just as before, these are first come first serve. So, just submit to us using the form below.
CANON AGE. GENDER. SPECIES. POSITION for ALIAS
FACE FIRST LAST for ALIAS
Hey you cats. Just wanted to let you guys know that if you have anything you’d like to discuss with the staff, whether it’s character ideas you want to make sure work, general questions, or whatever else, send us an ask. I’m more than happy to share my aim with anyone who has questions and such!
CASMUS ACHASIS CAELIAN DISGRACED MILITARY COMMANDER
Casmus Achasis was a high ranking military official during the Visiak War, dishonorably discharged after making a tactical error that cost the Caelian Army greatly. He was exiled from Caelian Space and now serves as the personal bodyguard of the Caelian Tribune.
THE CODEX
In order to provided expanded information on the setting of Tenebroso, the staff will be using a blog, entitled the Tenebroso Codex. The basis is fairly simple; all non-crucial information related to the setting will be added on the Codex in order to ensure that the exposition forum on the border remains neat and concise. So, follow the Tenebroso Codex, and track the tag #TBCODEX.
leo blinks, a slow sweep of lashes across tan skin. “oh my.” he says, frowning at the knife lodged in his thigh. his assailant seems slack-jawed at the lack of blood. “i was unaware that human mating rituals were so violent. fascinating. well, uh. do you remember when i said ‘if i told you, i’d have to kill you?’”
...what's a plotter? is there some sort of resource you could direct me to because i'm new to this kind of rping?
A plotter, also know as a shipper, provides basic information regarding your character, as well as information pertaining to what sort of relationships they are open to/likely to develop. People post in shippers with potential ideas for your characters to interact.
All of the major forum based resource sites (A Thousand Fireflies, Shine, Caution 2.0) have guides for people new to forum rp, as well as examples of shippers and such. Alternatively, you can visit almost any site that is currently open and view their shipping/plotting section to get a feel for how they’re structured.
