[doHTML]<center>Shawsia</center>[/doHTML] Shawsia is an alternate version of Shasea that exists in a parallel reality. The creation of Shawsia and its races went a bit differently than it did on Shasea; as a result, circumstances are a bit more... chaotic. [doHTML]<center>Creation and Historical Overview</center>[/doHTML] Things started much the same way; Spacey was made Chief Goddess of the planet by the Mother and Father of S’lysia and set about creating more Gods for her Pantheon. However, rather than trying to keep all of the Gods neutrally aligned, she split them into the Good, Neutral, and Evil Pantheons; she also created all of the Gods that Shasea has now, beginning with her Evil counterpart, Mephisto. Thus, when it came time to create the Dragons, Chimeras, Kirins, Unicorns, Gryphons, Hippogryphs, Sar’Chara, Ael’Kyphoe, Oceania Peoples, Vulcanus Peoples, Divine Human Races*, Enlightened Human Races**, Elves, humans, and all other living creatures, they were made Neutral, allowing them to choose to be more Good than Evil or vice-versa. An immediate result of this was the rise of four distinct lines of Shamen among the Sel’veritoh and Qal’ilkin; one line of Shamen from each race acted in the name of Good while the other followed Evil. Every other race was similarly split, with a fair number remaining Neutral. Thus, rather than the Retribution and the later wars it spawned that gave rise to the Dragoons and Swarm, there were a series of civil wars amongst each race that led to splits along not only religious lines, but socioeconomic and political ones as well. Once everyone was sick of war (although there were still small skirmishes and uprisings now and again), crime became the chief fear of the innocent and helpless. [doHTML]<center>Factions</center>[/doHTML] There are three major factions on Shawsia: the governments (which try to keep everything on an even keel and remain Neutral), the PeaceKeepers (the police, investigators, special agents, spies, assassins, etc. who work for Good and order), and the crime syndicates (the murderers, rapists, thieves, smugglers, warmongers, etc. who revel in Evil and chaos). The governments are split up according to continent and, in some cases, city or country; each is fairly autonomous, although there is a general governing body - called the World Circle - for the entire planet that consists of delegates from each government, chaired by Prime Ministers Aleczandre Szezandny and Zolfie Mlienar Szezandny. The PeaceKeepers are an international organization (somewhat like Interpol) and are separated into sectors, which are further subdivided into bureaus and stations in each city and country; the entire force is overseen by Lord and Lady Ministers Kassius Tevgarion and Cyrathia Draythyriel Tevgarion. The crime syndicates are loosely organized into a network that provides murderers-for-hire, extortion, and other such services to other members; the web falls under the leadership of Xakiah Adiemus’ doppelganger. [doHTML]<center>Magick and Technology</center>[/doHTML] The races capable of using magick are: the Kirins, Gryphons, Unicorns, Sar’Chara, Ael’Kyphoe, Oceania Peoples, Vulcanus Peoples, normal Sel’veritoh, normal Qal’ilkin, Svar’samiyae, Qveso’aysel, Szera’dreen, Qeal’tural, normal Syn’talowyn, normal Qes’jenolyn, Quellethuins, Shenzekians, Quidraillans, Saedhriyans, Elves, and roughly a sixth of all humans (at the same level that they were capable of prior to the Retribution on Shasea). High technology is generally limited to major metropolitan areas and is developed by both the government and private corporations (more the latter); the highest level of technology available to anyone is roughly equal to that of Shasea’s Shenzeku. Magitech does exist on Shawsia, although it is rather more mundane and widespread that it was on Shasea. The PeaceKeepers and crime syndicates have access to more sophisticated magitech than the rest of the population (Shawsians at large are able to use minor magitech for everyday, non-malignant purposes). [doHTML]<center>Character Translation</center>[/doHTML] Every Shasean character has at least one Shawsian counterpart. Good and Evil characters each have two parallels: one of the same alignment that shares some part of their name (either first name or surname) and has a matching personality and one of the opposite alignment that shares some major element(s) of their physical appearance and lineage and has a complementary personality. This is not true for every character (for instance, Zanthia and Xakiah only have one doppelganger of the same alignment, and the Cores’ doppelgangers are all aligned with Good due to their natures). Not every Shasean character has a Shawsian counterpart, nor do their Shawsian doppelgangers have the exact same familial and marriage ties as their Shasean ‘originals.’ Additionally, not all doppelgangers are played by the same person as their originals. (More to come later when I think of it...) [doHTML]<center><hr width=50%></center>[/doHTML] [size0]* The Sel’veritoh and Qal’ilkin were created by Devan and Erinye (Vengeance and Revenge), the Svar’samiyae and Qveso’aysel were created by Desdemona and Endras (Fate and Doom), the Szera’dreen and Qeal’tural were created by Darian and Essence (Love and Hate), and the Syn’talowyn and Qes’jenolyn were created by Chayim and Khalida (Life and Death). ** The Quellethuins and Shenzekians were created by Shanti and Savas (Peace and War) and the Quidraillans and Saendhriyans were created by Chayim and Khalida (Life and Death). |
