:In the beginning: Long ago there were three kingdoms that spread out over the Mars. In the northern hemisphere there was Lostcristal Kingdom. Named for its Elvin queen, Lady Kithalil Lostcristal, the kingdom is one of nature and beauty. Lostcrystal is known for its farming techniques, art and music, as well as its people’s undying faith in Mother Mars. The people believe that the planet was made by Mother Mars as a place to for them to live free. At the same token they are charged by their Mother to take care of the land they have been given. The kingdom itself is a Theocracy where as Lady Kithalil is deemed as chosen by Mother Mars to rule her people. The army is by recruit only and the people who join are highly religious and will put their lives against certain death to keep the kingdom safe. They have been referred to as religious radicals by the surrounding kingdoms but as a whole a peaceful nation.
In the eastern hemisphere there was the Crimson Kingdom. This Kingdom was named for the large huts made of mud and timber gathered from the surrounding area. The huts are a crimson red from the red sand used in the mud. The people are of the cat, wolf, and dog decent. These animal hybrids are hunters by trade. Walking on their hind legs they believe that the land will provide if it is respected but have no actual deity. The Crimson Kingdom is known for its weapon design, building techniques, its tacticians, and its people’s abilities to adapt to changes. The Crimson Kingdom is a dictatorship where as the ruler is the strongest of the population. Regularly they hold celebrations in which the ruler can be challenged for his position. Every member of the Crimson Kingdom is required to join the army for a period of five years once they reach the age of twenty. Many members, though, tend to spend more time in the army for many reasons. Viewed by the other kingdoms as somewhat barbaric the Crimson Kingdom still holds itself among the nobility of the other two kingdoms.
The last kingdom is the smallest but it’s not a problem for its goblins residence. The people of The Kingdom of Greater Iron work with the land they’ve been given by building higher and lower. Riddled with enormous crude skyscrapers and deep underground buildings that sustain its population Greater Iron fills it’s kingdom with goblin scientists and technicians to keep these building maintained and growing to fit it’s ever expanding population. The Kingdom of Greater Iron is known for its iron and glass working, cattle production, its engineering and designing abilities. The people of Greater Iron rely in their technology rather than any deity. Though it’s rare, some have adopted their sister kingdoms religions but practice in secret because it is viewed as illogical and is frowned upon. The Kingdom of Greater Iron is looked upon by the other kingdoms as turning its back on the creators who made the planet but among its own people the idea of a deity is preposterous and laughed at. The people of Greater Iron pay the other kingdoms no mind on their views about the kingdom and have learned to live along side them.

:2000 years later: The three kingdoms have grown too large for their tiny planet and have brought the planet to near extinction. In order to keep the planet alive the three kingdoms moved to the skies; the far skies to be exact. The three Kingdoms where now three space stations that orbit Mars. Keeping the kingdom names and became the names of the stations.
LostCrystal Station seemed mystical due to the fact it was made from one gigantic tree. The roots of which are then main struts for the entire station and then it is skinned with a natural substance that is roughly equivalent to what the wings of butterflies are made of. The station has many gardens where members of the kingdom go and meditate. The ships that the people of the kingdom drive are all made from the seeds of the mighty tree and can grow to rival any size ship from LostCrystals younger days
Crimson Station is sometimes mistaken for a meteor or a small moon that orbits Mars. This is because the people of the Crimson Station use the same techniques as they did with their building to produce a massive station made of the dirt and stone. To hold the station together the people of the Crimson Station created a super strong mortar able of withstanding the high pressures of space. The people of the Crimson Station fly ships like their station made of stone and mortar and looked like small propelled stones. On occasion the people of the Crimson Station will fly down to Mars and go on ritual hunts as a right of manhood.
As for the Greater Iron Kingdom the thought of building into the sky was always a big one. The chance to create the Greater Iron station was not only seen as a challenge but also as a demonstration of all the people’s hard work and education. The Greater Iron Station is made of iron struts with steal plaiting and glass for windows. The station’s crud design is a clear mark that it is goblin made. The goblin ships of Greater Iron mirror the craftsmanship of the station in their rustic crudeness as well as their misshapen designs. There designs that include anything from creatures to piles of trash. The goblins of Greater Iron are the only people who still have remnants on the surface of Mars. They continue to keep small mining settlements in the remnants of their kingdom on Mars.
As the three kingdoms grew and prospered even more in space alliances were strengthened, bonds where created, and a sense of unity was felt throughout the kingdoms. The three kingdoms celebrate their unity at a different space station each year with a grand banquet that lasts a week. Everyone was invited and it was great fun.
The difference about this year, two thousands years after the first space station was made something strange appeared in the sky. Without warning a new space station appeared and was orbiting Mars. Where it came from was a mystery and its purpose is unknown. After a few months ships started to investigate the station only to never return. There has been no contact with the station since and it is forbidden for anyone to go near it for fear of loosing more soles to the white metal beast.

:Now:
Ten years after the first sighting of the station It has been four months since the last unity calibration and things have been back to normal for a wile. Trade ships are active and people are living nicely. As for the unknown space station, it is about to pass by in its normal orbit coming within three hundred miles from the Crimson Station. To make matters stranger the station seems to have grown and light can be seen coming from it. Also it seems like one of the smaller additions can separate from the station and has some sort of wing to it.

:Setting:
This story will take place on the Firefang, a goblin made vessel captained by Grimace Deadlurker. As it stands right now the crew is being hired by a friend of the captain who has decided to stay on LostCrystal station where the Firefang has taken port for the time being. This vessel is a medium size ship with little defensive weapons but can travel far and fast. Aboard this vessel there is a kitchen, a large cargo bay, a common area with seating for at least fifteen people in various different chairs. Each member will have a cramped room of their own, mainly a bed small desk and enough room to walk in and out of, and will have to share the two small bathrooms. At the front of the ship is a cockpit big enough for three people, four if you don’t mind standing, and underneath the cockpit is the equipment room that includes every tool needed and some small transport vehicles. ((ATV type vehicles)) The ship had two small wings with a light escape ship on the bottom and an engine at the end of each wing.

Gaia name:
Character name:

(*)Magic(elf)/Skills(hybrids)/Special Gear(goblin):
(**)Gear1:
Gear2:
Gear3:
Gear4:
Gear5:
Brief Bio: (will learn the details as we rp but I want to know you put thought into it.)
Job:
*Magic is not the massively over powered ability that it is in other rp if you shoot a fire ball it is like shooting a built that you can control. It can hit one person and burn them to death or us it on other things like gas tanks for a bigger punch. The Skill for a hybrid is a special ability like seeing in the dark, retractable claws, things that will aid you in special situations. I gave goblins a special gear slot because I can’t think of any thing special for them. They can put anything in it from a special robot to help you out to personal vehicle, to even a third gun this item must be able to be carried by the person who owns it.
**Your gear slots are for anything you wish to bring along. This includes personal items and weapons (2 max) and must be able to fit in a suitcase.

:Art Competition: As you mite have seen in the section ":2000 Years Later:" I have given a brief description of what the three space stations look like. What I want from you guys is pictures of these stations to put up in the rp. Once I get a few I like I will post them up in the OOC: thread and have a vote on them. The winners will win 5k for each picture. So get drawing and have fun.
