The original-tastic war of planets.

The original-tastic storybook. In the following words you will find something that might frighten you... An original SB, one that isn't about teenagers, no genetic alteration, nor the government chasing anyone. Just so that I don't waste my breath on anyone who would love the plot, and object to the rules, I'll save the plot for right before the profiles, and after the rules. 1.) General rules and kindness of the SB forums, you guys know how this works. 2.) You can have up to three characters, but that's where I draw the line. 3.) Your characters must be either 5-9, or 26+ 4.) Obey me and Crocky, we're the greatest. 5.) If you couldn't understand rule four, I left out all ages even remotely CLOSE to a teenager, that is because I'm awesome like that. 6.) Could we try to avoid being cliche in our profiles? I mean, the creatures I give you the choice of being will help restrict that, however people still find a way. Damn! I thought we were writers here, not cliche robots. 7.) The creatures provided will not look like humans in the slightest, nor will they have human forms, finding an accurate picture will be very hard if not impossible. You've been warned. 8.) No whining. 9.) Since I give a limit of female characters please take a look through the profiles already posted before you make yours, I will turn down any profiles that exceed the gender limit. You can however reserve a character. 10.) Once we get four or five people with profiles posted we will start, however until I say otherwise, new people are always welcome. There, now that those are over with, we can have fun! Bwahahahahahahahaha! Four sides, three different planets. All but the fourth side have their own planet. The first side is the noble race of Abeils, many call them bee people and are never seen again.(See my latter text for a full description of each race and planet) They were the first race to make it into space, they are the most technologically advanced of the races. The next race are that of the Naga, a mainly peaceful people, but deadly when provoked. The Naga have not discovered space travel as of yet. The third race is that of the Lamia, creatures much like centaurs, the difference is instead of a horse half, they have a lion half. They are war-like, and have caused a war with several other planets in the past. They were also the third race to figure out space travel. The fourth, and final race is the Umber Hulk. They were the second ones to discover space travel. These creatures once lived with the Abeil but eventually could live with them no longer. They were cast out into space and could never find a safe place to stay, and so they stayed in space. After a time they had developed the need for revenge, however they also wanted to expand. Their numbers few, but many of the other races frail, they figured that small, well aimed attacks on the planet would make them crumble like dirt. I know, the plot is fairly.... it gets you going. All you need to know is that the Umber Hulks are mean, sneaky, things. As I promised, I will now provide a better description of the races. Abeil: Abeils are insectlike humanoids known for their idustriousness and their complex social structure. They are commonly referred to as "bee people". Their society has an expansionist philosophy--a fact that troubles those whose lands they intrude upon. Rather then resorting to war, Abeils prefer to overcome rivals through superior resourcefulness and industry. An Abeil looks like a cross between an elf and a bee. A vassal or Queen stands more then seven feet high and has a slender but sinewy legs and arms. A soldier is at least ten feet tall and is considerable more muscular then either of the other two varieties. An Abeil's hands and feet have four digits each. Its body is covered with bristly fur, colored in alternating bands of black and yellow. The creature's head and facial features resemble those of an elf, except that the Abeil has black faceted eyes with long antennae. Like a bee an Abeil has translucent wings. Their technology relies on crystals. All but three Abeils are males. The first would be the Queen, naturally. The other two would be juvenile queens.The juvenile queens act as Vassals, until they either find their own hive, or the queen dies. Vassals are the working class of Abeil society. The soldiers are the first, and last line of defense in Abeil society. They take residence on the planet known as Varlgoaari, this planet has average gravity, and has grassy plains with several variety of flowers, and bushes, then a few trees here and there. The weather on this planet is constantly warm ranging between seventy, and eighty degrees. We need more of this race. Naga: The Naga live on a planet completely covered with water. They're a mix of snakes, and humans. Their upper half is very similar to a human, but their skin is always a color similar to their scales. Extending from their shoulders are four arms. A forked tongue hides in their mouth behind sharp fangs. Their lower half looks like that of a snake. They're able to breathe above water, however their natural home is below water. Their hair isn't always the same color as their skin and scales, but it is a similar color to their scales. Their lower half is like that of a scaled aquatic snake. It keeps a very basic pattern. It ranges from aquatic colors: purple, blue, green, and in rare cases, black. They generally have frills running down their spine going all the way to the tip of their tail. In the water they can easily swim at ten miles per hour, but when they're not trying to rush they simply slither along the bottom, or the floor of a structure they've built. With no need to leave their home, they hadn't bothered with the idea of space travel. Their planet is called Varlelion. Naga society is run by chosen individual representatives, they pick two religious Naga, two fighter Naga, and two Diplomatic Naga. Together they run the planet and do what they think is best for their people. I am no longer letting people make nagas. Lamia: Their upper half looks like that of an stunningly beautiful human. Their hair is oily, and has been seen in all the human colors. They are generally muscular with the exception of the small children. Their eyes are always pure yellow, their pupils are slits. Their teeth are much like humans, save for their canines, they are longer, sharper. Their lower half is that of a sleek lion. Their fur is very oily, but unlike their hair this makes it shine in light. They enjoy starting wars, and discovered space travel only so that they could start wars with other planets. They eat a diet composed of meat mostly, they however have been known to eat plants as well. They are cruel, creatures. They enjoy taking many prisoners in war, and then torturing them to death. They enjoy causing suffering. They reside on the planet known as Corabah. Most of the surface is covered in plains. However there are several lakes and rivers, they have small oceans on their planet. There are a few remote tribes of the Lamia that live in the many mountains that cover the planets surface. There are about five tribes of the Lamia, three are large, and are the ones which engaged other worlds. The other two are smaller, and war among themselves. This race needs more, but I'd rather you'd make an Abeil or Umber Hulk first. Umber Hulk: These hulking, powerfully build creatures look something like a great ape and a beetle. Their low, rounded heads are dominated by massive pairs of mandibles and rows of triangular teeth. They have two big compound eyes like a beetle's, with two smaller eyes like an ape's in between. Armor plates cover virtually all of their chitinous body, whose scattered feelers resemble sparse hair. They are incredibly intelligent despite their appearance. An Umber Hulk stands roughly eight feet tall and measures nearly five feet across, weighing about eight hundred pounds. They can crush nearly anything and tear through rocks like they were nothing. They can also bite through solid metal, rocks, and tough exoskeletons. As I mentioned before they were forced to reside in space. They had several ships, over time they had a full fleet of ships. Their ships however are bare of any weapons, thus forcing them onto the planet. Come on! Are you guys scared to be the bad guy? Ready for this?! Profiles! Woohooo!

**Yeah, they're there as the female characters. Until it is needed that she step up as the queen she's just a normal Abeil... just female. The queen herself is also open.**

Ardella Margel
A sigh passed her lips as she nodded. "If the gods did not wish us to travel beyond the reaches of our own planet then they would not have had other races attack us only to leave their space travel devices." At the moment she was playing a risky card, she wasn't very religious, she wasn't even sure if she believed the gods were really there. However she did believe in a good, fair battle. These were becoming more and more uncommon. "Perhaps it is our job to purge those who don't believe in the gods, that may be why they sent the ships." Her daughter started to become uneasy. "M-Mommy! What's this?" She pointed, her finger lead up to the surface.

Ardella, and a couple of the other council members followed her finger. A shadowy mass seemed to be coming down towards the waters floor. "Good mother of..."

Sytei

"M-Mommy! What's this?" The voice of Ardella's daughter cut like a diamond through Sytei's train of thought. The religious Naga, albeit reluctantly, had been about to support the warrior's proposals, but now he simply drew himself up, every functioning sense working to detect what the girl was referring to. The closest he could come was a gradual disturbance in the water above them, that of some great bulk sinking slowly towards them.

"Good mother of..."

Ardella's whisper provoked action from the others. The next two words were screamed over Ardella's voice by some terrified diplomat. "Umber Hulk!" The waters seemed to explode with movement, Sytei trying to move to cut the creature off from Ardiel. The girl's mother had to be able to concentrate fully on the threat, and -

A powerful pair of hands wrapped around Sytei, one grabbing his midsection, the other fastening on his tail. The Umber Hulk pulled him out of its way with ease, sending the priest tumbling in a way that completely disoriented him. Unable to see, and with the entire area a flurry of panicked movement, Sytei was completely unable to fathom what was going on now.
