Storyline

(14.02.2014) Season 1: Human: The fall of earth
nearly 800 years ago, human was the most advanced civilization in this sector
That's before the Casluakas visit earth, threatening that the world we know will come to an end.
They put in motion an evil strategy to cause divisions between human. People suffering when the war happen. Many lost.
People who survive join hand to battle the aliens. They retreat, but not for long.

War caused much misery, even when it's over. Our life were never the same again.
So when the Casluakas come again, human willpower already become so weak already that their trust can be easily bought.
Most people are willing to be moved to another planet in order to survive earth's apocalypse.
Their dream of a better future shattered when they arrive in a planet which condition is even worse than earth.

They are us....
There's no sunlight in Etherra, this is a very dark, hot and the air quality is worse than polluted earth.
We start over from zero, we adapted to the new surrounding. We are survivor.
But our people always remember how the aliens rip us from our home and we'll make them pay.

For centuries we constantly trying to escape from this hell, but on top of this sky, there's another ground and another sky.
And under this ground there's another sky and another ground, but we learn that we're getting closer to the core.
Our scientist predict that this weird planet have a magma core and 8 shells. And we're at the 7th shells.
If someway or another we able to hurt the core, we could reach them, Casluakas who live at the top shells.

Setting:

The planet we live in is called Etherra (8T), as the name states, she is a core with 8 shells. People start their life at 7th shell (as human) and will have equal chance to moving up and enjoy benefit of the elites.


The Core
Imagine a miniature planet, with hot lava decorating the entire surface. Even without the sunlight, the temperature is too hot and oxygen level is way below the level for any organism to live here – Except the core monster.


The Lowest Layer (8th shell)
Ngisor Lemah is a plain hot, humid and dark underground, even poisonous (for human) in several areas. The core radiation is the highest here while the sunlight rarely visits this plane, so all the organism develop some special traits, such as: blind and not depend on oxygen. The humanoid called … has a pair of antennae which constantly emitting and receiving ultrasonic wave. They can see their surrounding by using this wave, like bats, but they are color blind. This humanoid, animals and plants have phosphoric spot on their skin, so they are glowing in the dark. They also immune to the poisonous air and core radiation. Surfacer who comes here to mine the core mineral often said that the natives are rather pretty and exotic, but they aren’t very friendly.
If people stay too long in this region (without the air filter is supported by adequate facilities), they will experience some nasty changes (such as hair loss and patches appear on the skin) which ended in respiratory problems and great risk of death.

No one will ever suspect that beneath that plateau there is another plateau if they do not find a small crack where one can see the faint sparks emanating from the core, several hundred kilometers beneath.

Elements: sonic, poison
Tech: nothing special
Power Source:  fire (phosphor as light source)

ing'Ngisor people have knowledge of healing/poison plants. Their armor and weapon made from fire-resistant hard shell taken from giant core bugs. Their housing usually made from hard membrane taken from the same bugs as their armor or they carve big stone as the base of their house. ing'Ngisor native communicate with sounds comes from their nasal; high pitched sound express anger/disagreement and low pitched sound usually express being happy/positive. But they are able to understand human language (hear/read).


7th Shell
There are 3 big cities in this shell: DeCarta, Dawn City and New Arcana. New Arcana serve as the Human Inhabitation Government Center. This sky is mostly dark because this shell is very far from the sun. There’s a bit sunrays comes from the crack from upper shell, the light is faint and somewhat wavy like being refracted by water curtain. The buildings in this shell are in western Gothic style. DeCarta is the food-producing areas; all of which are the result of genetically engineered products (native plants and animals in this area is not very safe to be consumed). While, Dawn City is a gathering place for religious people who still mourning over the former glory of Arcana. They dedicate their lives to preserve old traditions. Record and reproduce ancient tomes. There is library of the world, which built several floors underground and connected to the catacomb of the Saints. New Arcana is a corrupt city government, where the nobles are paranoid people who barricaded their houses with high solid walls, while less fortunate people can’t afford to have four walls and one roof above their head.

People accepting their fate if they unable to leave this shell, until very brave people climb the core axis rotation, shape a tower with some device to transport people from lower shell to upper shell.

Elements: dark, fire
Tech: steam, fire powder, genetic alteration, radio wave (no internet & satellite), air balloon, metal/leather work (no plastic/rubber/carbon)
Power Source:  mostly steam

[since beta member (you) start here... you can become as creative as you want when designing what you should wear or what kind of weapon you use. What domestic animal you should have. Your designs might become guidelines for many others to follow.]


6th Shell
There are also 3 big (trading) cities here: Port of the storm, Fortune City and Necropol – the right place to buy/sell illegal goods, den of robbers and bounty hunters. The buildings in this shell are in eastern steam-punk style. Hurricane-prone electrically charged (some original shell 6 animals consume electricity in the air like whales filter their planktons). Stake wind breaker and carrier pipes water found along the way. There is also giant turbines that pumping air restlessly, to ensure that air condition in the city remained stable and free from harmful electric, reallocate the excess energy as major power source. Avoiding the storms, they built underground tunnels to travel between cities. This place is considered as high valued property which being contested among peoples/criminal gangs.

Being right beneath a water shell, this shell has the most beautiful sky among lower shells. The sun rays don’t come directly but being filtered by a layer of deep water – combination of sun and water creates rainbows, so there are rainbows everywhere. But since the atmosphere is naturally dark, it is more like colorful auroras than rainbows.

Elements: wind, electricity
Tech: electricity, robotic, laser, cable (no radio wave, internet & satellite), metal/leather work (no plastic/rubber/carbon), elevator
Power Source:  storm turbine


The water shell (5th layer)
The water shell (5th layer) called Aqua Mirage the Water Labyrinth. People try to climb the core axis rotation, but not much of them able to come back alive. The survivor only said that there’s a pair of giant shadow circling around the center and they don’t dare to move any closer because whatever it is - it looks lethal.
