ARNABOS
CHARACTERS
|
In the comfortable warmth of the Free Nation of Arnabos, previously known as the Kingdom of Aeglia, Leporans, Musans, Felinans, Canidans and several other species live in relative peace after the revolution against the ruling power of Aquilans. The country has two major climate regions, the north is temperate, with lush forests but the south is a bone-chilling ice covered land. Unfortunately, the power source that exists in the north is buried deep in the ice, which have been dubbed crystals. They power everything in the known world.
The bureaucratic nation Arnabos has become has a 4 prongs militia, the Policing Division, which deal with the city crime, the Long Patrol which protects the borders of the country in the North, Peacekeepers who are the most elusive of the 4 and deal with espionage or covert missions, and the Scouting Legion which treks through the unforgiving terrain of the tundra to search for Crystal Nests. The most peculiar of the militia procedure is the mandatory companion sessions, or in other words, mandatory sexual relief. In order to reduce tendency for sexual violence within the ranks of the military, the mandatory companion time requires all soldiers to relieve their sexual stress at least twice a week with a consensual person of the same sex. It cannot be of the opposite sex due to the possibility of reproduction. The sessions must be reported to the generals and all participants must sign the time sheets. Interestingly, this has also become a widely accepted way of life and polyamorous relationships are on the rise in the nation. Many citizens are comfortable with the open and free sense of relationships, and only settle down with one partner when one decides to marry, which legally binds them in a DUAL arrangement. Prejudices about sexual preference does not exist, except for those who prefer not to participate in such acts such as asexuals or those who are convinced that religion requires celibacy. They are considered strange, weird and given an indifferent berth. Historically speaking, the Kingdom of Aeglia was ruled by the Aquilans who were of the Golden Eagle race. Due to their longevity compared to the other animals in the Kingdom, several generations of subjects could pass before the next king or queen was given the crown. Before the revolution which occurred about 50 some years before present day, the land was ruled by Lord Pyrus who unfortunately was corrupted and allowed for his nobles to take advantage of his hardworking subjects. Crown Prince Vyrus was everything the kingdom's officials and Lord Pyrus could have wanted, he was an exact replica of Lord Pyrus, however as fate brought itself into this world, Crown Prince Vyrus died one fateful night, though the details of his death are still a mystery. Which led to the crowning of Vycar as the next crowned king. Vycar, as the second son was not taught the fine tuned corruption and politics that his brother had the luxury of. Instead he did whatever he had wished which at the time was the science of doctoring and healing.
The nobles and the Council of Cardinals in short hated Vycar. Vycar's moralistic personality made it difficult for them to continue their way of life and none of them want the change. They set Vycar up and subtly began rumors that the new King was worse that the late King Vyrus, which in turn became the revolution. Vycar was exiled, simply on the technicality that the assassination attempt on the fateful day of the revolution was botched and he escaped into the South. Since then the Council of Cardinals has taken it upon themselves to remain the rulers of the nation, changing the facade to a bureaucratic and seemingly democratic nation. Although their rise to power was a sly and deceiving one, they did do good for the country. Carnivorous citizens were rationed to specific amounts of meat that would suffice their diet. Roads were paved to allow for better travel, community bathhouses and centers were built for the public, plots of land reserved for the preservation of nature. Slaves were given the singular right to shift into their human form if their masters wished. Currently, the relatively new nation is at peace. As the largest country in the vicinity with a boastful population and military force, they are surprisingly non-invasive of their neighboring countries. |
