DAY 27: SALDAHEEM

Character Biography:  On the far off planet of Jorhol lies a race known as  Frahl Hadeid.  In their language meaning, people of the land.  They were a simple people whose biological makeup was made of living organic metal.  They took their sustenance from minerals found in the earth, and thus built a sort of mining based society.  Their technology and society were on the verge of being space faring when they were invaded by mankind, approximately 1 million years in the future.  These descendants of Earth nearly exterminated the Frahl Hadeid or as they labled them The Frahl Wraiths.  The few survivors retreated underground and did their best to survive.  But even under the surface they were still being persued by the human invaders.  So the Frahl went deep into the planet and hibernated for almost 2 million years.

A major tectonic shift occurred 10,000 years from present date and awoke the Frahl.  They ventured to the surface to find that mankind had taken over the planet, evolved and were unrecognizable from when they first invaded their world.  The Frahl began to rebuild their civilization for the one intent purpose of retaking their homeworld from the invaders.  They became war like over the next 100 centuries, their hatred of the offshoots of men increasing to fanatic proportions, until finally they rose up to the surface world in a wave of blood and iron.  They first took the city state of Kortha in the Nation of Norlympia.  They were led by the war council leader Saldaheem.

Saldaheem is ruthless, cunning and efficient, the perfect military commander in every way.  He sees the SOFT FLESH, as his kind has named the organics as a lesser race that infected his world like a plague.  That it is his solemn mission to wipe them out and return his world to its rightful superior owners.  He will not stop until this goal is achieved.

 

DAY 26: 21st Century Sandshark Studios Presents- THE NEXT KIND’S JARDEEN

| November 26, 2012 | 0 Comments

On the distant world of Jorol seven offshoots of mankind.  Three million years later, we account the future we account the tales of THE NEXT KIND.

In the Jungles and grassland plains of  the central continent lies the Grand Chiefdom of Jumbai: A warrior society that have centered their civilization along an honor code and religious devotion centered around the hunt.  One of its most decorated hunters is the warrior maiden, Jardeen.  By the time she was  10 she had already brought down a Bramabeast single handedly.  When she had reached the age of majority she was made the youngest head of the Monga or honor pride.

Then the Frahl Wraiths returned, and all changed in their wake…

First the Frahl Wraiths laid waste to much of the nearby land of Korath.  Those who were not killed were taken as slaves.  One who did manage to escape, was fame noble and general Doule.  Jardeen had known Doule as a child when his family spent some time on a diplomatic envoy in her land.  Doule had once saved her life, and as such Jardeen owed him an honor debt.  Doule collected that debt, and as such Jardeen reluctantly joined his ranks, and swayed the Jumbai to pledge alliance and aid to the cause of turning back the Frahl Wraiths.

Jardeen is an expert warrior, hand to hand expert, and master hunter.  Her claws are as strong as steel, and she has super human strength and dexterity.  Which has come in to be invaluable in Doule’s quest to liberate Jorol from the Frahl Wraith threat…

Day 24: 21st Century Sandshark Studios Presents: THE NEXT KIND’S BYFRAZ

| November 24, 2012 | 0 Comments

On the far off world of Jorol, 3 million years from now, the descendants of humanity have settled this among thousands of  planets.  Seven offshoots of humanity have divided this land amongst themselves.  Civilizations have risen and fallen.  Wars have begun and concluded.  Jorol currently is in a state of an uneasy peace.

That peace was broken by the return of Jorol’s indigenous species: The Frahl Wraiths, who were forced underground millennia ago and were thought extinct. This was not so as their reemergence was hailed with the decimation of Koroth and and several other city states in the lands of Norlympia.  Those who survived were either taken into slavery or forced to flee.  One of those exiles was a noble general by the name of Doule.

Doule was in search of allies from the seven nations to form a coalition against the Frahl Wraiths.  His travels at one point brought him to the arctic tundra of the Binans.  This race has evolved to where they operate in genetically identical pairs.  They are literally living computers that have developed cloning technologies, and have advanced telekenetic and telepathic skills.  The Binans, though comprised as two person units, operate, think, and have identity as one distinct person.  One of these pairs went by the name of Byfraz.

They were  simple scholars and anthropologist, but had extensive knowledge of antiquity and tales and information on the Frahl Wraithes.  The Binans are semi-pacifists, but agreed to lend the services of Byfraz to the cause, for which they have proven invaluable.

GELDORN OF THE NEXT KIND

On a world thousands of lightyears from ours and 3 million years from our time , lies the 7 great nations of the world of Jorol. These 7 civilizations are all evolutionary offshoots of mankind, who have settled the far reaches of this planet and have evolved into separate species from one another.  These nations forced the native peoples of this world: The Frahl Wraiths into the under realms of this planet, and were by the start of their common era to be extinct.

This was not to be so however, as the Frahl Wraith’s returned to reclaim their homeworld.  They began with the Confederate City States of Norlympia: A near human like race, that had several of those city states laid waste, and many survivors taken into slavery.  One of those who managed to escape was a Korthan general noble by the name of Doule.  Doule scoured the seven great nations to find those who would join his quest to turn back the Frahl Wraith threat before they engulfed all of Jorol.

One of those nations was the 2nd Republic of Harlth, occupied by creatures made of living rock known as the Harlthans.  One of their best known citizens was their senior statesman, former Grand Warsmith, and philosopher emeritus known as Geldorn.  Geldorn was best known for his various written works, and was the most celebrated thinker of his age.  But time had made him a subject of redicule to his people, who saw him as antiquated, and out of touch.

When Doule made his way to Harth, the council of 9 heard his pleas, but needed a gesture, that would prove aid would be warranted.  Geldorn no longer sat on the council, but openly scolded their lack or foresight and commitment.  He pledged his aid to Doule, and joined his ranks.  Geldorn though of a more advanced age has proven useful for his still formidable strength, endurance, and military prowess.  Doule was an admirer of Geldorn’s and relies on him heavily for his sage advice and battle prowess!

Day 22: 21st Century Sandshark Studios Presents: ZHEL OF THE NEXT KIND

| November 22, 2012 | 0 Comments

On the distant world of Jorol, 3 million years into our own future lies THE NEXT KIND: 7 descendant races of humanity, who have evolved to their climates and environments, manifesting incredible new powers, abilities and challenges.  The world of Jorol though, was not uninhabited when humanity’s children first reached this world.  The Next Kind’s forefathers called them The Frahl Wraiths: Beings made of living metal, who were forced bellow the surface by the first settlers of Jorol.  2 million years later the Jorol returned to the surface for what they believed was rightfully theirs.  They struck first in the Nation State of Norlympia, decimating the city of Kortha.  One of the few surviors to escape was a nobleman military commander by the name Doule.

Doule began scouring the globe for allies to aid him in the common threat of The Frahl Wraithes.  This eventually brought him to the Western Fire mountains of Piras Terran.  This land was occupied by a nation state known as the Ferras: A matriarchal society of pyrokenetics  where women occupy most of the warrior, political, and social positions of high importance.  Their queen, Mahlbeth III was at first apprehensive about lending any aid.  She was then swayed by her youngest sister, Zhel, to allow her to be a military attache to Doule, for the purpose of gathering information about the Frahl Wraithes and the danger they present to the Great Western Empire of the Ferras.

At first Zhel was adversarial to Doule’s command and authority.  But over time, both proved eachother’s worth.  Doule eventually rose to be Doule’s most trusted advisor and second in command as they fight together to turn back the Frahl Wraithe Threat.

ORGIX

Character Biography:

The Planet Jorol, 3 million years from now.  Humankind has evolved and spread all over the known Universe, taking new and almost unrecognizable forms in the process.  On Jorol, 7 offshoots of mankind have risen to form their own civilizations and cultures.  One of those is the amphibious beings known as The Picaris.  They live along the southern swamp coasts of Nelocianis, and have a society based along hunting and ocean harvesting.  Their technology matches that of any of their neighbors.  The Picaris are asexual, and reproduce once every 7 years.  Picaris have a rigid caste system based upon birth.  Any hope of a Picaris making their way to anything other than what they or their ancestors was born into was thought of as impossible by their cultural standards.

It was into this world was born one Orgix.  Orgix was from the agrarian class.  His lineage was that of simple farmers, and could only hope for a life as such.  Yet Orgix dreamed of being an explorer, and adventurer.  Orgix would get his chance however when through cercumstance brought Prince Doule from the Northern land dwelling kingdom of Kortha.  Doule brought word of the invasion by the beings made of living metal known as the Frahl Wraiths, their utter devistation of Kortha and other lands along the planet.  This did not move the Picaris however, as they had had little diplomatic contact with the other six nations of Jorol in decades.  Orgix had been the first Picaris that Doule encountered, he brought Doule before the council and had heard his words.  They moved him and he offered himself up for service as Doule’s attempt to do battle with the Frahl Wraiths.  Doule at first seemed aprehensive about having a simple farmer in his ranks, but saw the eagerness and bravery in Orgix’s heart, and took it upon himself to train Orgix as a soldier and warrior.  The two became close friends and traveled the rest of Jorol to gather the peoples of this world in mutual defense.

DAY 20: DOULE

CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY: 3 million years in the future the human race has expanded into the far reaches of Universe.  Much of these civilizations of yet to come, are unaware of their earthly origins.  Many of these civilizations are made up of the descendants of mankind could hardly be recognizable from us today. One of the worlds our descendents will colonize is millions of light years away and known to its inhabitants as Jorol.  It was colonized 2 million years ago by several parties.  These groups eventually grew into seven distinct offshoots of the human race, having adapted to their particular climates and habitats.

One of these offshoots are called The Norlympians.  They resemble us physically for the most part.  Their culture is that collection of city states that bands together for economic and defensive purposes.  One of the most powerful of these city states is that of Kortha, a people who pride themselves on its cosmopolitan, city and market driven society.  Its military, economy, and, and society were the envy of its neighbors.  Its leader was chosen from the patrician classes and is known as the First Prime.  The  current First Prime at the beginning of our tale was Martelle of the House of Valden.  His son was a up and coming Military Commander by the name of Doule.  Doule was a brilliant warrior, soldier, statesman, and tactician.  He was also smug and arrogant sort that bought into the propaganda of Kortha supremacy in the grand scheme of things.

This world view was shattered when a long thought lost race that once occupied the surface world of Jorol, before being driven underground.  It took them eons to rebuild, but finally they found the resource and opportunity to re-take their homeworld.  These organic metal beings are known as the Frahl Wraiths.  They rose to the surface one evening, without warning, and with their terrible arsenal and military might, laid waste to Kortha in one evening, slaughtering over 80% of the population, and taking those few that did not escape into slavery.  Doule managed to escape, but not without witnessing the deaths of his men, his parents and the abduction of his younger sister, Clarene. Doule, managed to make it to his Grandfather’s villa, 20 miles north.  There he recovers and begins his quest to free his people from captivity, turn back the Frahl Wraiths, and return peace and security to the seven nations of Jorol.  To do this though, he will need to enlist the aid of the rulers of those nations.  A task not so simple, when one considers Norlympia has had strained relations with these nations for centuries…
