Race Name Eelone
Starting Planet Any planet
Starting Power: Alien B 500-1200
Appearance:
The Eelone are an insect like people who stand very tall. This very's wildly but generally they stand 7-11 feet tall. If you stand 12 or thirteen feet tall, it is a sign of your high rank in society. To compensate, they are very thin and are built to be light and effective. They have a thin, almost frail structure compared to other races. They sport two hearts which allows them to better cope with one of them failing in time to get medical assistance, and the standard array of kidneys, stomachs, and other internal organs. Their larinks is situated in the large joints of their long necks and looks like an instrument with many valves that allow them to shape their voice in any number of ways. They can have anywhere from six to nine valves in this organ. Their blood is purple and they have four arms, though the second pair is smaller it is more dexterous and quick. The secondary pair can fold in and are thin, but still a bit longer than the average human arm. They have spines over their primary pair that make them aerodynamic, unfortunately these are the only joints on their body which are not double jointed as a result. All of their limbs end with a three pronged tip, their digits are hard and sharp allowing their primary arms to cut and stab when disarmed, and allowing their lower arms to manipulate things with grace. They bend back at the hips but their necks hunch forward. They have a spiny insecticide body under their clothing.
Background:
Chapter 1: Origins.
Far, far, far away from the rest of interstellar society lived a trans galactic empire. Their batch of galaxy's was cut off by the others by millions of light years of travel. They enjoyed peace, harmony, and glorious communion through music. After their home planet established the empire of the Eelone they went off to establish colony's in the other star systems. This lasted for tens of thousands of years, and for the longest time there was harmony. Religious communion with their gods. When their populations grew to large to effectively house themselves in the available planets (they could live almost anywhere that was not frozen or on fire) then they shot off into another galazy using something called the harmony engine, using the most pure and melodious tone said to have been given from them to their gods. It allowed them to create a pocket of space that could fly faster than the speed of light. They were a war like people, conquering planets that were in their way with some regard from it's inhabitants. Those who surrendered immediately were allowed to live on their planet with heavy foreign colonization. If any race showed resistance to the first convoy then it would be time for an homage. A holy war. They would kill as many of them as possible before terraforming their planets. Any stranglers were hunted down through the stars, they were able to conquer almost thirty galaxy's. They never even came close to loosing a war.
Chapter 2:War on the horizon.
But that was a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away. So far that no sort of evidence of this has been found in the known galaxy's. Once there was no more room to expand they grew bored. With no gods to pay homage to trillions of warriors were out of a job. Many, many attempted to lay down their weapons and start a life as peasants. But on one planet several of the people spoke to the others of their galaxy that they were seeing visions of their gods in their dreams. They told them that the Eelone had completed their task of expansion. And that they were to expand new ideals through their known worlds. Liberal attitudes began to work their way in to the die hard conservative ways that their people had had for generations. These ideals began to spread everywhere, it was an age of pilgrimage. Where billions of Eelone left their homes to spread the teachings of the true gods. Their ideals spread and spread for thousands of years, with it replacing over half of the systems churches with new ones. This had never happened before as ideals from the first church had always been permanent. Many refused to give any ground and the old houses of the gods stayed, but as well as this many, many new churches were made. The only place that did not have any of these new churches in all of their known space, was the very first world. Where some of the very first Eelone still lived, for their race had developed treatments that had ended all aging. This was the center for all of the government and the equivalent of the grand pope (their were lesser pope's in all the other galaxy's) declared that the new church was the greatest test of the followers to the old churches faith. And that they would need to all universally rise up and pay the ultimate Homage to all of their gods by wiping the place off of the universe. After that he promised would be an era of unending peace, love, and happiness.
Chapter 3: Devastation and loss.
This spurred every former warrior of the first grand church to raise their weapons again in Homage to their gods. The size of this army quadrupled as almost every single pessent took up arms in service of the grand pope. This church had never lost a war, and they knew who they were up against. By this point the planet which originally started this movement had no old churches left. It was the new hub of their religion, and when the call to Homage was announced they hastily threw together a republic in attempt to send a message to all the other new churches. To fight back for their gods, for they had the right beliefs. They were able to raise an ungodly amount of followers, even people from the old church fled in droves to go join the new one because they saw what was going on was wrong. It was a bitter, awfull, terrible war. Eelone died in an unimaginably great amount. For the longest time the Eelone of the old church slowly lost ground to the war. The new church Eelone gained no ground. For what new church heavy galaxy's they were able to destroy they lost all ability to support life. All manor of weapons were used, biological gas, viruses, weather control, mass birth control, (the old church attempted to seed the clouds of new church planets with a special formula that would make everyone their sterile. It worked.) mining ships that would bust open planets to gather their resources were retrofitted for battle, kamikaze bombers and things too awful to even mention.
Chapter 4: All that remains.
Eventually, only two galaxys were left. They were total shells of what they had once been there was only seven life sustainable planets left in all of that space. Most were new church controlled, almost all of the civilians there were now sterile and could not produce any children. Two of witch for the old church were the original home world, and it's moon. As incredible as it seems the old church won this battle. For one reason alone. They had three Pope level Eelone, and they were crushing the other planets almost single handily. As it fell down to only three hospitable places in known Eelone territory, the last new church planet left was where it had all began. Where the very first visions had started. The Eelone who had first gotten the message was depressed. Everyone he had ever known here had been killed from satellite bombings. When he received word that the three popes were coming to finish off the planet for good he would not stand for it. He joined a force of nine hundred million Eelone to try and defend the planet. It was less than a percent, of a percent of the fighters they had had before this war had started.
Chapter 5: A much needed change.
They were no match. Some of the final screams of the war came on that day, the Eelone who had seen the first message floated still in the air as his comrades swarmed the three incredibly powerful opponents. They were able to kill and severely wound one before their final forces were routed. The Eelone only could look at the ground as his comrades were killed and flew all around him trying to escape. When a pope heavily wounded came before him with only three arms to kill him he made a stand. He drew his weapon and with a single slash cut him in half. For acting purely and justly for his gods and nothing else, for loosing everything, his pride, his friends, his people, and his planet. The gods saw fit to make him in incarnate, the highest most powerful form of the race. It had only just occurred to him that he had never fought before. He managed to rally the retirements of his forces for a charge on their last enemy and their combined symphony was enough to overpower his song, and to kill him. The incarnate rose up as the leader of the republic and told them that they were leaving this planet, and going home.
Chapter 6: The final peace.
He ordered all of their forces to destroy all of their weapons and to retrofit all military ships for interstellar travel. He went ahead first, in a prototype ship with an advanced harmony engine. He got there just before everyone else. He flew proudly down, his ship in the red and yellow colors of the new church. When it was shot down he flew wearing battle armor of the same color. He destroyed every ship, every warrior, every weapon that came at him for an entire earth month. Before he made his way into the grand cathedral. Home of the grand pope. He encountered stiff resistance, everyone who saw him rushed him on the spot. They say he sung in supreme, divine tones to freeze them in place right where they stood. He made his way to the Popes chamber (he was no longer grand pope, all of the lesser pope's were dead) and the two talked over boleket, which was a drink like carbonated tea. They talked for long hours about all that was wrong, all the mistakes that had been made, then after the two had come to an agreement the Pope ordered for everyone, regardless of their faith to put down their weapons. When the new church members arrived in what ships they had they were told of the plan. The race would go out across the black void of neigh endless space to go and establish a new, true and free Eelone colony on a different galaxy. Since the incarnations job to the gods was done, he fell out of their favor and lost the power of the gods.
Chapter 7: A brave new world.
That was ten thousand years ago, exactly half of the new church and old church members stayed on the planet, and the other half left in non discriminatory mixed ships to go across the stars and find a new place to live. The very large colonization ships would be far behind, but the smaller ships would be just arriving on new planets now, will the race establish a new age of peace that the grand pope had promised? Will they sucome to their war like ways? With only only one planets worth of people will they be able to live in harmony with the other races of the world? Only time will tell.
Name Pun Theme(s): Eelone are typically named after states of being and emotion, examples are harmony, union, bliss, happiness. They all generally have a positive tune to them though somber variants to exist.
Unique Characteristics:
Eelone posses lizards like regeneration that works on the level of Namekian regeneration. Which means if they focus their energy for a post a new limb sprouts out and rapidly takes it's place.
They can cling to walls like bugs, and all of their digits are very sharp and can be used as claw like weapons.
Generations upon generations of Eelone living in space has eventually adapted the durability trait to avoid loosing bone thickness on worlds with zero gravity, it adds a plus 1x multiplier to their defensive power and stacks with other ability's.
However Eelone, especially those of the mechanized variety have the matablosm of a jet engine and must eat nutrient rich foods 4-5 times a day. In addition to this you do not need an atmosphere to survive as long as you keep yourself fed.
Transformations:
The right of passage- Every Eelone goes through this trial, a four step path that makes a person worthy of joining the final paths available. Not just anyone can join the military or the church, but after you finish these transformations you will be ready to pick a side. You must take this transformation path before you can mechanise into either military or church specializations.
Awakened.- x4- You seem to have caught onto the secret of success, hard work, dedication, and the courage that you will take with you through the rest of your long life. Many Eelone die before they make it this far, do not disrespect their memory. You are special to start with this power.
Warrior- x8- Requires 20,000 Power level. You toil in this mortal body, but for what cause? By now you are truly starting to question your own character find out what kind of person you are, and what you will soon be. Only a fool fights for nothing.
Champion x10- Requires 110,000 Power Level. Above many in society, people high up are starting to take notice to you. By this point you should have a firmer grasp on what you will be, but you still have time to change course.
Hero x15- Requires 160,000 Power Level. This is it, no more proving yourself. Take a side, you will only be a hero until you do so, prevented from gaining any farther power. It is a great honor to have any part in your military or church. Do not squander it... Hero.
Right of passage:
Once they reach 200,000 thousand power level, the Eelone will make a choice to on which path to follow, and once they choose the path, they must embark on a pilgrimage to a planet fitting of the trial. 2 friends, regardless of the path taken, are permitted to assist them in their trial. They are as follows:
Pilgrimage of Purity- The Eelone has chosen to become pure and righteous in the eyes of their gods. They will travel to a peaceful planet, like that of Planet Namek, and travel to a quiet location where an alter will be erected, with a pedestal of the Sacred Eelone Wine. This wine causes unimaginable pain to the initiate, as it purifies their bodies of their church's Seven Deadly Sins. For each sin, they must take a drink. Outsider friends may assist the Initiate by lending their ki to the user. If the user were to fail, though, their life will be snuffed out. However, if they live, they will ascend and gain the singing voice of the Church for the strength of the gods, but become fragile in structure!
March of the Militant- The Eelone has chosen the path of conquest and soldier to the Eelone armies. They will travel to a war-filled planet, like that of Planet Vegeta, and embark on a mighty burden. This burden involves the ceremonial carrying of the Eelone Military artifact, the Sun Breaker. The orb is one of hundres, all designed by the ancient Militant Eelone's from generations long gone to do one thing: Burn the hands of the initiate until the initiate has travelled around the whole planet. The longer the initiate takes to fulfill the task of carrying the globe, without dropping it to the ground for rest, the more the globe will burn the initiate. Two outsider friends may assist in lifting it, but they must use only their bare hands. Once the trial is complete, the Sun Breaker becomes cold and water-like, engulfing the Eelone alone and shoving their friends aside, as it tempers the Eelone's burnt body into a malleable, but highly durable substance. It also causes the Eelone the ability to sing the militant chant and increase its defense tremendously, at the cost of offensive power.
