The Tide Will Return (Space, Nation, Fantasy)

Drac

Draconis

Founder, date: King Rakken, -5000 S.A. (Scourge Advent)
Current Ruler: King Rakken
National Ideology: Draconian ideology is heavily influenced by the longevity of the people that exist within their borders. They're very patient, and think that life is better spent appreciating the beauty of things before they fade away. They rely on strong, sophisticated technologies and physical might to overcome obstacles instead of numbers, reducing their need to consume resources.
Populations within Nation, approximate percentage of population: Dracon, 85%
Human, 9%
Other, 6%
Socioeconomic Structure: Not much is currently known about the inner workings of Draconis. Perhaps before, when the galaxy and its empires were still interconnected, more was known, but such information has been buried in old records or lost entirely.

@Aerostorm Any thoughts on what you want from the RP?

The Tide Will Return (Space, Nation, Fantasy)

Alright, later than I said but it's compile time.

Maybe I'll conjure up some sheets first...

Avalia

Aiko Yume

Time: Too early
Location: Lower Quarter Plaza, Roshmi
Interactions: Nabarra @nasty, Yuka @princess, Orias @Helo

Quite a lot had just transpired, though things had gone well in the end. The princess herself had come forward to speak against her father. After last night, he understood why. A war declaration is one hell of a way to have your drink spoiled. This was refreshing, however. He wished the princess every success in her coup. Maybe he'd even help, but getting caught up in a civil war sounded stressful. Not that sitting under the king was going to be great, either. The way things were going, they might get tracked down and enlisted. Be made to give people nightmares or something else unsavory.

As he ruminated, he caught someone waving, and calling to him. Oh dear, so much for the shadows. It was the woman on the roof, and she'd made friends. A few more friends than just that, perhaps. It sounded like she'd also found out she was siding with the princess.

But that wasn't really Aiko's concern.

At first surprised to be called to by a stranger, this woman seemed friendly, despite the ruckus. Some people had a way of being two-faced like that, though, but being overly cautious never got anyone anywhere. So they approached.

He looked up at the woman on the roof, fluffy tail flicking behind him. "My, to have charmed such a lady already. I really must practice better discipline." Whether he had calmed things down himself or it had just occurred naturally was hard to say. In the midday sun like this, he doubted he'd done much.

"You seek a retreat and regroup?" The fox demon flicked his tail, smiling, "I know a place, just that way, the way I came. Cozy little tavern, good food and drink. Comfy beds," a slight smirk, here, a soft chuckle, "but let's not get ahead of ourselves. We've hardly even dined together." Another, heartier chuckle, though still subdued. Warm and at ease.

"Has the show ended? This is the after-party? It seems your show went rather well, better than you could have hoped. Shall we go and celebrate?"

Excellent, we gain another. Welcome!

I may be able to complie some lore together today, too.

Imperial ships are aquatic on the interior, owing to the aquatic nature of the manufacturers. For diplomatic purposes, as one of the few water-dwelling space races, they've found it advantageous to develop a wide variety of technologies to allow diplomatic and commercial intermingling with "drys". They have excelled in robotics to adapt to dry land, with their androids made their way through the markets as top shelf, even before the Black Year. The technology for the diving suits, for divers to come aboard their ships, is also for sale.

Their planet-capable ships can dive underwater to reach their cities, only some of which have ocean-top docks. They permit ocean-side tourist and resort settlements to be built, but monitor such locations closely for pollutants. They're very eco-conscious.

I'll compile the lore into the first post later.

Before the Black Year, and the retreat of the Dracon fleets, Luminium circulated among the galactic empires. It came from Drac space, useful as emergency fuel and as a currency. Machines from Drac, from ship equipment to appliances like ovens, refrigerators, to power tools and power supplies, could be powered by Luminium.

Millennia have passed since Luminium could be sourced. Now, it's been turning up in the wild. The race is on.

The Cosmic Empire, so called because they believe themselves to be the proper ruler of the Galaxy, conquers their neighbors and promptly vassalizes willing nations. Led by race of tentacled arthropods from the planet Odesion, which orbits the star Lacitra, they had a tense but ultimately friendly rivalry with the Terran Solidarity, who proved military might against them again and again, gaining their respect.

The Cosmic Empire consists of tentacled, squid or octopus-like rulers, and a more crab-like subservient people who provide labor and muscle, though their previously conquered territories have a wide variety of races.

Warp drives were the method of crossing great distances between planets and empires. Naturally occurring hyperlanes between stars support the use of warp drives today, but such bridges are rare between galactic arms. There are the ruins of what can be around to be relay structures here and there, and just one remains active since the Black Year. Each system has a catapult, to facilitate warp travel by smaller ships. Or many of them used to, at least, but many now are broken.

The nomadic tribe of humans, a coalition of the very last remains of Old Terra, wanders the hyperlanes, seeking out anything of value to support their livelihood. They're a shadow of the civilisation they came from, but they represent what little humans have to call home. Ancient ships protect these people and ensure their safety.

Perhaps the only other people who remember the Terrans, perhaps only for the remnant at the edge of their territory, their nearest neighbor used to share quite a rivalry with them. Military skirmishes were frequent, though ships were given retreat and casualties kept low. A people who believe in honor and might, the Mioran empire was an collection of different races. Since the Black Year, their territory has been shattered, with smaller nations rising from the remains of the old power. The empire yet plans to once again conquer it's previous territory, but the struggle may be intense.
