The inverted folk of Elohim




The inverted folk of Elohim are phantom ruses, left over residue of the people who once inhabited the region and were of great adherents to Del, these ruses simply wandering the ruins forever upside down in a ritualistic posture of the Solar Harvest Festivals- they still act as if the rituals never ended. Forever locked to perpetual ritual, to the point where they are viewed more as a scenery than any actual, intractable beings at first glance. These inverted folk hymn in a language alien to most, being of extremely ancient origins and is said to be the very language Del spoke to create humanity itself. The inverted folk's beliefs were in notorious contradiction to that of what was known of Del, claiming that Del made nature and humanity sprouted forth from the radiant lilac at a later time. Their kind was deeply heretical and persecuted, but still their ancient systems of belief managed to persist for ages on end- a timeless ritual that never ends and still has yet to. For unlike others, the inverted folk refuse to accept that Del has left them and have refused to ever move forward in fear of the abyss beyond.

One would be best to not disrupt the ritual of the inverted as they float about the ceremonial amphitheaters in the lower districts of Elohim, for they are extremely violent to anything that perturbs their harmony, lashing out in extreme violence- with a wraith-like force against hose who dare try to pull them to the present. A many of those who reached Elohim, oblivious to the nature of the inverted met their fate being eviscerated and violently mutilated by an Inverted folk in their ravenous desire to punish those who disrupted their ritual. The bones that litter some parts of the ceremonial amphitheaters being the only real indicator of danger.

Outside of that, merely observing them is harmless. You usually see them parade about numerous lilacs, holding them with their toes and hands as they float about the amphitheater in aimless movements comparable to the dance of bees, in various shifts of direction in relation to each other in a childish stupor, with their eyes always shut and a grin always on their almost statue-like faces. They wear elaborate violet colored ceremonial clothes of which defy gravity itself, as if they were attracted to the sky, but never fall up towards it. These robes glisten in the sunlight and the marble-like texture which permeates their form reflects off the pools of waters from the lilacs gardens which are found all over the lower districts where they once had their cults dominate.

These peculiar folk are just one various forces within Elohim that has become lost to the world outside, no out outside of Elohim knowing of their existence or story at all. Beyond what legends one may find hidden away in archives of their cult and usually of highly propagandized accounts in regards to the nature of their activities.
@DracoLunaris Either will do, though I hope you take into account the differences those worlds have. Both have lots of sea, but are radically different beyond that.

Either way I hope you make a fascinating and exotic alien to occupy one of those worlds.

If you need help making a alien civ, my advice is to work upwards and consider the environment always.
Okay now with some infrastructure set up i'll be more active in the IC today.
The Network

We have the 5 players needed.

I am keeping the old sheet here for the sake of archiving what the early edition was like.
The network has 5 accepted players.

And the relay now is public.
Unlike last time i'll make a tangible human society alongside the role of Comus (who acts in PM much more than IC anyways) since the GM gets to cheat that way. Just a human civ to act as a standard bearer for other human factions and so people who don't want to make a human society don't have to early on. To those who want to make their own human society, you can still make a radically different human society with the centuries of time to work with here. Humans have been on Solomon for a thousand years by this point after all.

This same logic applies to aliens- if you want, you can make a alien character using a alien society of someone else's creation as long as it doesn't violate/contradict what said player already established about them in regards to what said civ is like.

@DracoLunaris Nice to see interest! Which perspective do you intend on being?

@Liotrent I liked them. I hope they come back.
Squid Urchin, huggable!
Well, we had to have clones at some point. Is good.
Nothing is in violation from my PoV.

I have a interest check for a sci-fi RP in advanced involving interstellar colonization you may be interested in, if you want the humans to go down a cyberpunk direction i'm fine with that.
