[quote=Dinh AaronMk] Nothing I can call up so far. The only people that have had any significant dealings with them so far would be me and Vilage. Googer was also somewhat responsible for their development.On my end at least: the Tkrai live in the lowest quarter of Kangchai, that being formally known as the Under Quarter. Informally that area is known as Under Town, Bat Town, Cesspit, The Pit, and so on. And given its depth it only really gets light briefly when the sun is at the right angle over head and the gas giant Brahma is in orbit around isn't in the way, but that'd block the sun for that day or week or whatever anyways.The Tkrai there largely live in squalor and are paid the minimum of international credits for their work keeping the pump houses working. There's not a lot of legit credits in circulation there so a lot of "trade" is done off the books with the improvised and currently over-inflated black-market currency known as "Likes".I did writing about it in my last post and in my next I intend to explore the Tkrai there in full as I move ahead with my current central arc. So we'll meet the firs prominent Tkrai and the local Tkrai Advocacy Group representative.Beyond the Kangchai Tkrai refugees there's likely no uniform culture so I wouldn't worry about representing the race as a whole. So long as you're aware of the numerous local groups for consistency purposes then you're fine, unless you're on the other side of the world from the safe zone. [/quote] I see. Well, let me throw this concept up for evaluation: I have this idea of a human establishment hat has lived outside of the safe zone for many generations; this same community is moderately-sized, and has a relatively large presence in the wilds, but has since made deep connections with their Tkrai neighbors to the point where both species have begun to intermingle for the sake of increased productivity and survival chances. Technology has been traded in exchange for information pertaining to the local fauna and flora, geographical features of the landscape and access to the deep underground complexes where the Tkrai make their homes (which may lead to valuable gems and ores which can be used for industry and the sort). The perfect bro-mance if anything. Because they don't care much for the other human governments of the world, this human faction has more or less allied itself with the Tkrai of the wild zone of Brahma, with both conducting regular strategic joint-raids against mercenary companies, mining missions and logging operations that draw too close to their jungle home in order to sustain themselves; their profound use of modern weaponry, specifically light transports, powered exoskeletons and other military-grade hardware, makes them far more annoying to deal with than standard tribal peoples armed with spears and whatnot. Things have only become worse since the Tkrai have gotten their hands (or paws...or claws...or whatever they use) on this same weaponry. I'm unsure where I'm going to take this from here, but that's the political rundown of it. Historical information, and the reasons behind such an uncanny alliance, are another problem entirely. I'll think of something of course, because I want this brain fart to grow into something functional and awesome. Also: the current nations of Brahma have only been active for 50 or so years, correct? Or has Brahma been colonized before, near the beginning of Mankind's expansive conquest of the cosmos, which could result in some nations being a century, two centuries or perhaps almost three centuries old?
