If you don't know the Nequus story, you must read it before RPing. Once you have read it you will have a good understanding of the terminology and events that occur in the rest of the guild. Even if you are not going to RP, it is wise to read this section for terminology and extra information on your Nequus. There are hidden clues here to breedings and pasts that you may miss otherwise.
Don't be alarmed, this thread is locked. This is done so that it can be edited freely as more stuff may be added constantly as lostlinx and Kealdra Arrikanez see fit. There is no limit to how many posts we may need and trying to reserve them all is a hassle.
Feel free to create your own PRPs and ORPs in this subforum. That's what its here for!. If you have any questions at all about RPing or the information given please PM the Nequus mule. We will be happy to answer all of your questions.
The Nequus world itself is varied beyond the imagination. It is a huge world made to keep flying creatures. The gravitational pull of this planet is somewhat less upon itself than Earth, making it easier for creatures such as the Nequus to fly. As well the air is far cleaner for years of smoke and smog have not clogged its layers with Carbon Dioxide. Creatures here can run faster, jump higher, and overall have much more control over their movements. For those coming here from Earth it would seem a surreal mythical place right out of a American styled Japanese Ninja movie. Totally fake, but for this world with its restrictions, it is completely normal.
In reference to the creatures: The inner lands of the Nequus are often mistakenly called the 'Gardens of Eden', Ziaho nintuck Ri in Nequus tongue, and there is reason for this. The creatures of these inner regions have been spoiled by the land of plenty. Barred from the evils of the outer world by un-crossable mountain and sea, the Nequus live without predator or fear of the world. Evil is hard of seeing here, and the bat wings are simply another way of flying for the Nequus and not a system of evil entirely. The Ichsa and the Reya are the only ones which posses means of true defense, their horns, for they have been born in the outer worlds and recently brought into the gates of prosperity by a last sacrifice of their gods when they so realized their mistake. Both of these breeds, therefore, have more of a tendency to be cold than the others, and might choose to stick to the lands which suit them bost; also known as the oceanic and mountain regions. For this very reason foals of Bae, Jala, and Aeri take far longer to stand and learn than the others for the simple reason they do not need to do so to adapt. One finds better mastery in a slower more developed process than a quick tie together to live. These three breeds of Nequus naturally posses a slight higher intellect than their two cousins, though their cousins are faster to learn. Time has made the five breeds come closer and closer together, though as noted from the front page of the Nequus shop they still remain very much different in complexion.
The lands of these inner regions are, for the most part, a very docile landscape. The temperatures are constant throughout the year, a place caught in time as it were. The center of, we'll call the whole land Urin, is what is Ziaho Nintuck Ri. These are the trees that form the fruit of life. A new tree is sprouted when a Nequus mates and grows larger as 'pregnancy' comes to term, but you can read more of this in the breeding section of the shop. In the very center of this formation of trees is the first tree, bearing the marks of the five gods, the sixth mark being the tree itself, representing the bringing into existence of the other five through guidance. Nequus are drawn to this place for the first few years of their life, then they find a repulsion towards it until they have found love within their hearts, then once again they return to guard the fruit. No one knows quite why the Nequus guard the fruits, perhaps it is an old instinct reviving deep within their souls, or perhaps the fruits speak to their parents in soul, asking for guidance throughout its growing. A pair, or sometimes only one Nequus, will find their sapling and perch beside it, watching it as it grows into a tree, never venturing far from their bit of life.
Humanoids of the Nequus world are all very calm. They are mostly thin for the most part, and eat roots of the foliage in the Crystal waters. At times they are gifted by the Nequus with an unborn fruit. They, though it may seem crude, do not raise the fruit, but eat it, in promise of a link to the gifter. It is a ritual that happens on extremely rare occurrences and of a magic far greater than any other imaginable anywhere in the world of Nequus. For with the consumption of a Nequus fruit, and only a Nequus fruit given as a gift, the bearer transforms into a Nequus themselves. It is the ultimate sacrifice for both sides, as the gods had sacrificed. Legends tell that the first humanoids were a piece of the gods themselves that did not wish to give up their former identities and so these creatures were born. Typically the humans are dark skinned and yellow eyed, but a few posses fair skin and their eyes are lighter.
More of customs and lands can be found in the separate stickies of each of the lands. Be sure to read those as well before posting in them. Be sure to check back here when the thread is updated for Kealdra and lost will add things constantly as they think of more plotlines. If you?re thinking with all this talk of humans that they may be offered in the future, well, your right! So be sure to stick around and look for hints and such on what exactly is planned for the Nequus thread.
