Futuristic 'Ortus Atque Obitus' - Creation and Destruction [Closed]

[Cosmic_Chaos]

Ortus atque obitus — Latin for Creation and Destruction.​

Humanity has not only managed to travel space and colonize other planets, but has discovered, fought with, and worked with other species. Now the entire known traverse - save for some planets which were the home planet for some species - sports planets colonized by a wide variety of races.

Our story is based on an Earth-like planet, which holds many species, including the human race. To the majority of the population living on the planet, general life is manageable. However, there is more beneath the surface of what one may see; The 'Minority', the ones who just get by, are planning something: To overthrow the social structure, to bring equality.

Though those in power, lead by the Imperatrix/Caesar, have suspicions as to what is brewing, yet they are unable to do anything until those plans break into the public light. On the brink of civil war, the planet may seem peaceful from a distance, but up close, it rests tentatively on a knife edge.

However, it may already be too late; there is a Rebellion in the Slums that festers and grows. It isn’t racism that’s the problem — it’s the social structure of this world. But will it change? If so, it’s going to be a long battle. And no doubt that blood will shed on both sides. This is where our story begins

Ideas Where The Plot May Go

- 'Minority' Rebells against the social structure - The main Plot point, but not set in stone.
- Romeo and Juliet thing, causing issues among the 'nobility' as to what is right and wrong .
- Threats from another planet/species not part of the 'main' space treaty that threatens to wipe out the entire planet if they don't hurry up, unite, and defend themselves together.
- traitors among the minority reporting back to the higher ups.
- maybe something sci-fi-y, like mind control/mind reading/mind jumping.
-If there is a plot you think this messed up world can go, You can converse with the GM, me, Laughing Lunatic, via Pm on RPN, or on discord (Ask through Pm)

The Look, Theme and Layout of the City

The General Layout of the City is almost in a circle. The Most important areas, such as the where the Imperatrix/Caesar Live, is more built up campared to the rest of the city. However, as you spread out, you will see that people live in different themes houses. For example, the Servorum live in Almost slum-like places, yet the Imperatrix/Caesar lives in a cybernetic Castle.

Spoiler

Spoiler

This is the basic and general structure of the city. There are 4 main Markets over-all, however, there are also mini-markets dotted around, as well as one black market. However the Black Market is very difficult to find. For Plot Reasons, it is not shown, however, You characters can accidentally stumble near it.
Key:
Brown - Where the Servorum live - Sordiu
Green - Where the Opus live - Huailis
Dirty Yellow/Murky Orange - Where the Medias live - Plerus
Light blue - Where the Altum Live - Luxdist
Gold - Fancy mantions and estates where the Nobilis Live - Aurum
Purple - The Castle where the Imperatrix/Caesar Lives - Arce

The Structure of the Society -:- Very Latin-Based

1-Imperatrix/Caesar (Empress/Emperor).
They Rule the City, yet no one has ever seen them. Some people think that they don't even exist, and that everyone is ruled by the council, because the head Council and the General of the Army are the only ones who report to the Imperatrix/Caesar.
2-Nobilis (Noble).
They are the people who has lot of money, who are famous, and who is on the council, or the top three ranks of the Army (General, Colonel, and Lieutenant. These people, while not of the rank of Imperatrix/Caesar, Live behind the large walls, and are still hard for the General Population to touch.
3-Altum (Higher-Class).
They live near the Markets and the more built-up area close to the center, but in front of the white walls. The area is more clean, and there is less crime as there are more officers there.
4-Medias (Middle Class).
They live in between the Markets and the Slums. While not as bad as the slums, they are still not the best place to live. There is less officers available, and it takes longer for them to come and sort situations out unless you live closer to the Market.
5-Opus (Lower Class).
They live right next to the Slums, but not quite there. Crime rate is high, and you have a higher chance of running into Nobilis, rather than someone who is genuinely nice, as Nobles can sometimes drift between the Opus and Sevorum Districts for their shady business.
6-Servorum (Servants).
These people live in the Slums. The people who live here arn't considered as people with rights. There is usually at least 5 major fights going on with Gangs, Thugs, and Nobilis doing Dirty work. Most of the police force will ignore any cry for help coming from here.

Army Structure and Who does What.

1-General - The highest Rank, everyone reports to them. They are one of the few who are able to converse with the Imperatrix/Caesar.
2-Colonel - Second in command to the General. Colonels command fleets, all answering to the General.
3-Lieutenant - Command the Ships, and is the second in command to the Colonel usually by working closely with them.
4-Major - They are the right hand mans to the Lieutenant and take over when the Lieutenant is off-Duty or busy
5-Captian - Captains are in charge of squadrons
6-Warent Officer - Those who go into Academy training, graduate at the level of Warent Officer.
7-Sergeant - Sergeants function as second in command to Warent officer, and take over their role if squadrons are split up.
8-Corporal - Corporals oversee Specialist/Private organisations
9-Specialist - Specialists are privates who have undergone a two year training course of specalisation
10-Private - The people who jumps straight into action, start out as privates.

The Six Species

-:--:-Humans-:--:-

Homo Sapiens,
Dominated the Versatile Land called 'Earth'.
Bi-pedal, evolved Apes, who have a Common knack for being curious, even in immediate Danger. They also loved to do Life-threataning things, going against their basic instinct, for fun. They are a very delicate species, however, they are also Durable, and are very Dangerous.

It's Common knowledge It was better to be Friends with a Human, than Enemies. Humans, similar to Alurara's, are volatile.

The Average Lifespan for Humans , despite attempts to lengthen it, is 80-90 StarCyles.

-:--:-Stipula-:--:-

Sepia Hominis,
Dominated the Aquatic Sea called 'Nostrimaris'
Oct-Pedal, evolved Octupi, who are naturally eccentric and typically smart, but they're also known for their love of being tricksters. While they are from an Aquatic World, Their Biology allows them the change their own structure, which is why they are able to live outside of water for so long.

However, they are attracted to water, and will occasionally have to bathe in water to re-hydrate themselves, lest they completely dry out. This will not Kill them, however it does put them though some amount of pain.

The Average Lifespan for Stipula is around 70 StarCyles.

-:--:-Mualita-:--:-

Multa Generibus,
Dominated the Temperate-like Terrain called 'Sobrisint'
Bi-Pedal, Pointy-eared- Species, who are known for their ability to change their Gender as they grow, before settling on one. This is due to how their minds work, and what they want to be, and essentially be happy with themselves in the end.

There are Four Genders overall, The classic Male and Female, Neutei and Ambio. They change genders on what they feel personaly, and tend to shift a lot through puberty. However, once they reach Adulthood at 25 Star Cycles, their body is unable to change as fluently and shift into their preferred Gender.
The Average Lifespan for Mualita is around 95-100 StarCyles.

-:--:-Beliam-:--:-

Bellum Dilacerata,
Dominated the Harsh cold Climate called 'Puagna'
Bi-Pedel, reminiscent of Tolkien's Orcs, they boast enormous and dense musculature and a knack for warfare. They are clan-like and protective of their own, with a retaining of old-fashion xenophobic views despite cross-species integration.

The Average Lifespan for Beliam is around 65 StarCyles, however it is slowly increasing the less Violent they are.

-:--:-Orandio-:--:-

Ordo Animi,
Dominated a calm, cold Climate called 'Cessabit'
Quadrupedal, Tenticle-like species, who are known for their abilities like 'hivemind' and able to sense other species emotions. As this species is almost Telepathic, they know when you are lying or hiding something based on your emotions. They also provide the best comfort to when you need it most.

Because of their almost-Hive-mind ability, it is hypothesised that the Imperatrix/Caesar is an Orandio, as they are able to communicate without talking, and no one had seen the in person.
The Average Lifespan for Orandio is around 140-150 StarCyles.

-:--:-Alurara-:--:-

Aelurus Linamenta,
Dominated a lush Rainforest-like terrain called 'Pluvilva'.
Quadrupedal, large Cat-like Species, who are known for their hunting abilities as well as the lengths to protect their young. They are extremely Volatile when threatened or anyone threatens anyone they consider as family, but a good ear-scratch can calm them down.

The Average Lifespan for Alurara is around 65-70 StarCyles.
