[h1][center]The Secrets of Ikianni[/center][/h1] [center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/06/f2/87/06f287d45ca79c158807bc51339e92a4.jpg[/img][/center] The Ikianni system is unknown to most and a unique place in the galaxy. For it is rare for several races to not only live in the system but, claim that Ikianni is their home system. Even more rare is the fact that the Ukath and the Ikeal share the same homeworld. Several species call the system home and have lived there for thousands of years but, have never left the boundaries of the system and have grown up knowing that alien life is just a planet away. Recently, other races have come to Ikianni, though not as an expanding empire. Instead independent settlers for reasons that ranged from outcasts, refugees with nowhere else to go, or in the human's case, an accident. But, the inhabitants both new and old do not know what lies in the system. For ancient secrets lie forgotten and hidden and only waiting for a curious soul to uncover them. [center]Rules: 1.

A unique system where several races claim it as their home system and where every habitable world in the system belongs to a sentient race. Not including Daumia. Which you will be playing as members of a xenoarcheologists group that will unknowingly discover the long-lost secrets of the system and you can play either as a researcher or a member of the security team. Which tech-wise, only a few of the races have FTL capabilities, and the natives of the system have yet to explore outside the system since they lack FTL technology. As for weapons, projectile-based weapons are the main/common weapons of the system. [center]Magic[/center] Magic in the Ikianni system works [center]Species[/center] Human - Hailing from the distant Earth, and live on the least desired habitable planet in the system. The humans of Acheron had to adapt quickly to survive in their new home, along with discovering alien races and learning that magic exists, and work on relearning it. After twenty years of surviving on Acheron, the humans have proved to be a hardy and adaptable race that still tries to contact Earth despite the unknown but, long-distance to Earth from Acheron.

Before the cataclysm that rendered the surface inhabitable. The Ukath originally lived underground before discovering the surface and move most of their civilization there. Leaving only a few cities underground. Which brought them into conflict with the Ikeal as they over both territory and resources. Only their shared religious beliefs kept the two races from declaring full-on war on each other. Which changed when the cataclysm occurred and only then did the two races banded together in order to survive and retreat underground to safety. While not as strong magical as the Ikeal, they make it up for their physical strength. Along with a long life span. [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a8/69/e2/a869e26354ee2b6b62ecba152f04852f.jpg]Ikeal[/url] - The tall and spiritual Ikeal. Considered to be great magic users though not as strong physically as the Ukath. The Ikeal share their homeworld with the Ukath. Which despite an uneasy peace between them and the Ukath. Their shared religious beliefs kept them from war and when the cataclysm occurred. They were forced to work together and moved underground to survive. While they have a life span almost as long as the Ikeal. They are potent magic users that make up most of the monarchy's magic users.

No one is sure when these alien robots came to the system. Only when they did, they choose to settle on Daumia and when they were discovered by the other nations in the system. They only replied that they wish to be left alone. Though they do allow limited trading with other nations in the system. Centered around the city of Isune, the only organic-friendly city on the planet. Mainly for resources that they can not find on Daumia. Still, some Otudons have started to venture outside of Daumia and learn more about the organics in the system.
