Tʜᴇ Sᴏʟᴀʀ Sʏsᴛᴇᴍ ᴀɴᴅ Bᴇʏᴏɴᴅ
favorite concept:
time, although it is a real thing it is also a concept in a manner.
time is man's invention to measure the changes of the universe, do you ever see a dog checking it's watch, or a bird making sure it isn't late? no, time is only man's worry, and only humans think of running out of time. etranger comes from a planet where time is more used to measure changes in the world and universe than to say, know when to get to work or when your next class begins. he enjoy's learning about time and how it is used on earth and about the importance of it in earth's culture, studies and environment.
favorite subject:
etranger very much enjoys studying psychology.
he is intrigued by the intricate world of the mind and, the different ways it can be affected.
due to his almost obsessive studies in the subject, he is excellent at such things as reading body language and expressions,
and can almost predict another's next move with subtle clues in their behavior, something also entitled cold reading. etranger's curious analyzing is often perceived as invasive and judgmental to most, which tends to chase them away from him.
favorite mythology:
etranger much enjoys the realm of greek mythology.
from the dozens of different gods and goddesses, to the fiery pits of tartarus and the monsters it contains,
greek mythology is irresistible to the alien. he enjoys reading and learning about the gods of the culture,
alongside it's heroes, rituals and after life. etranger also has a strange fascination with pandora's box,
but does not like discussing his interest in it with others, even close friends. his favorite god, more so goddess,
is athena, the goddess of wisdom. as a being of knowledge, it is only natural for him to favor the goddess of, well, knowledge.
spoken languages:
at his first arrival on earth, etranger had some trouble communicating with it's inhabitants, but quickly picked up their languages.
he easily learned english, but it was not his first language learned. etranger actually learned latin first, then proceeded to learn english and french soon after. he plans to learn spanish and some asian languages in the future.
native language:
etranger's native language is etarian, a verbal version of his species' mode of communication. for situations requiring silence,
his species typically communicates with their antennae, in something akin to morse code. a flicking motion of one antennae is equal to one short sound, the motion of flicking both antennae and holding them in a position is equal to one long sound. a pattern of motions give you a letter, with a long combination yielding sentences and more, again, very similar to morse code. the patterns meaning certain letters are about the same as in morse. it is possible to believe that morse was inspired when some of his species had visited earth in the past.

Tʜᴇ Pʟᴀɴᴇᴛ's Cᴏʀᴇ
home planet:
etranger's species is a distant cousin of kiamara's. they originate from a planet called etaria, and members of his species are called etarians. etarians share their name with their language, etarian. etaria has a relatively humid climate, except for on its north pole, where temperatures drop to as low as -12 degrees celsius in spring and summer and up to -36 in winter and autumn. the planet is inhabited by mostly tropical plants and animals such as lizards alongside a wide variety of amphibians and fish, in the warmer areas. the pole, or colder area is inhabited by thick furred mammals and relatively no plants. a variation of etranger's species sporting elegant long thick coats inhabits the pole, but the warmer climate and colder climate variations tend to have many feuds and are seperate communities. the two communities are called clans, with different family lines being called tribes. etranger comes from the warmer climate clan. within the clan, the brighter the coloring of one, the higher the ranking of ones royal status. the royal king and queen are both very brightly colored. the clans operate on a monarchy, but also have a democratic government. the government works alongside the king and queen, with decisions first going through a vote before being properly initiated to avoid power abuse or biased opinions hindering the lives of the population. the warmer clan is a community of intellectuals, valuing knowledge and doing all in their power to cleanse the population of ignorance. they are a very honest people, and it is considered a terrible crime to lie or manipulate another. the colder climate clan focuses on physical strength and relies on the 'strong survive and weak will perish' kind of motto. advances in royal or social status are through acts of strength, bravery and leadership. their opposing points of view often lead to fights and rivalries between the two clans. within both clans, it is considered a right of passage when one becomes an adult to create braids in one's hair, three for males and four for females. it is not uncommon in the warmer clan for young adults or even teenagers to go and explore the cosmos to find themselves and their place in the world, often some end up finding that their place is to travel space. both clans are not weak in any form, and both have a strong military force. the warmer clan focuses on strategy, stealth, and infiltration, whilst the older clan is the main physical force with pilots and soldiers. in times of war, when their species is threatened, both clans will push aside personal fights for the good of their kind and become a terrifying wall of combined intelligence and strength, a force to be reckoned with.
goal:
in a manner, etranger seeks to close pandora's box. he travels the cosmos, from solar system to solar system, galaxy to galaxy, helping out the inhabitants of the universe whether they be big or small, and many know the name of the weary traveler who has brought so much happiness, and so much sadness to such a variety of beings. when asked why he does so much for others, he replies simply that, pandora's box has been opened, and the evils of the universe have been unleashed. he merely seeks to be the hope that was left inside the box, and longs to return those evils back to where they belong and allow the infinite depths of space just a little touch of good underneath all the terrible things that happen. and he will spend his life doing what he does if he needs to, because he is the traveling stranger who'll lend a helping hand.
dreams:

history:

Image
relationships:
Image
    page - chronos - kiamara - male - close acquaintances
    etranger and chronos are not close friends, but are not strangers either. the two are simply close acquaintances, who have done business together in the past. the first time they met, chronos found etranger reasonable enough and decided to make a deal with him. in exchange for becoming a messenger between chronos and etranger's home world to create an alliance of some sorts, etranger is given funds to use on things while on earth. etranger likes to bring chronos trinkets and souvenirs from the different planet's he visits, which he hopes chronos appreciates. etranger is much interested in the workings of chronos' kingdom and of his blindness to color.





Image
    page - zaira - kiamara - female - friends
    etranger enjoys zaira's calm demeanor, and admires another peace valuing individual. although he tends to have a hard time getting close to others, etranger found he enjoys zaira's company, partially due to the fact that he simply likes her personality and partially due to her normal enjoyment of socializing. etranger very much adores the little crafts that zaira makes, and can often be found admiring them on his visits to tranquility while he is on earth. not being a fan of alchohol, he often visits tranquility, zaira's jazz club, whether it be to grab a bite to eat or just to spend some time with his friend.

Tʜᴇ Gʟᴏᴡɪɴɢ Sᴜʀғᴀᴄᴇ
name: nebulis
name meaning: from the word nebula,
a cloud of dust and other various
ionized gases from which within, stars often form.

gender: agender
preferred pronouns: she/her

age: six
birthday: 6th june, 2008


Image----------Image----------Image


Tʜᴇ Bᴜʀɴɪɴɢ Cᴇɴᴛᴇʀ

how they met:
found here
why she stayed:
found here
    relationship with etranger:
    nebulis is etranger's little sunshine, his light in the dark, his guardian angel.
    somewhere along the way nebulis became more than just the star following him
    and he became more than her savior. the two became dear friends, trusting
    each other with their lives and following each other wherever the other goes.
    whenever etranger is scared, uncomfortable or simply lonely, nebulis will
    undoubtedly be found right by his side, warily shining as bright as a lightbulb
    to ward off any bad intentions. whenever etranger has nightmares, nebulis
    will often be found laying within his paws acting as a nightlight to lull him
    out of his terror and back to sleep. the adorable pair can be located dreaming
    away the darkness of the night. nebulis can be compared to a mother hen at
    times, making sure etranger doesn't go off and get himself killed and tries to
    keep him from pursuing reckless actions. at one glance, even without words
    or a voice, you can see that nebulis cares very much for etranger, and even
    though he'll deny it if questioned, etranger cares for his starry companion too.
    and they'll be together until their journeys are over.
    how they communicate:
    for this pair, the words 'actions speak louder than words' is taken quite literally.
    nebulis is mute, due to well being a star and having no mouth. most conversations
    between the two tend to be one-sided, with etranger doing most of the talking,
    his banter is usually about where they'll be going next or the events at hand.
    nebulis, in most cased, simply floats close by listening in, but should she deem
    his plans unsafe or reckless she does whatever she can to get him to listen and stop.
    in the cases she needs to communicate with etranger or others, she uses the only
    mode of communication she can, morse code. she achieves that by manipulating
    the level of light she emanates from her body, with etrangers native language
    very much resembling morse code he almost instantly knows what she's saying.
    over all the two typically don't speak much and live together in silence.

I just got another kia, so I'm going to drop out of this contest to give others a chance to win it. Good luck to all!

Before I fill out my form, I just want to say what an amazing job you did on this kia, saturnus!
Whoever wins him is certainly lucky to have him.


username:
CruxHighlander

name:
Quasar

star's name:
Pulsar

gender:
both are male

favorite planet to visit:
Neptune, by far.

reason why its his favorite:
Quasar, without a doubt, absolutely loves the planet Neptune. Not only does it share the name of his favorite Roman god, but it is also his favorite color, blue. Not just any blue, but that beautiful, depths-of-the-ocean blue, swirling around, creating wave-like patterns on it's perceived surface, as if the god himself is manipulating it. Add on the fact that it is also the stormiest of the planets in this solar system, and it is Quasar's idea of a perfect planet. Pulsar (his little star buddy) has a unique ability in being able to float and fly, and when Quasar holds him with his gooey antennae, he is able to fly as well. He can actually walk on the surface of Neptune without sinking to it's rocky core. Also, being made partially of helium, Quasar loves to talk on Neptune. Pulsar cannot talk back, so he just listens to Quasar jabber on in his squeaky voice. When he grows tired of annoying Pulsar, Quasar grabs him up and bounces around on each of Neptune's thirteen moons, before settling on the largest, Triton. He watches lazily as the planet above him spins slowly, and counts the rings as they pass by. He drifts off to sleep, and dreams happily of all the adventures waiting for him on his favorite planet.


I just want to wish everyone who enters for this gorgeous guy the best of luck!
And, congratulations in advance to the winner!

Hello, earthling researcher. I will be your translator.


      hel·lo
      /həˈlō,heˈlō/
      exclamation
        1. used as a greeting or to begin a
        telephone conversation.

      noun
        1. an utterance of “hello”; a greeting.

      verb
        1. say or shout “hello”; greet someone.

Everyone has dreams-- ones that fade away, and ones that follow you into the depths of growth. Kiki was no exception to the upheaval of chasing dreams.

He had one aspiration that would define his life, his very existence, every way he saw and understood things. And he loved it.

The idea of traveling through nebulas and to planets, seeing new wonders.

Of course, his memory is bad as bad as could be. So that is why I, Booples, am telling you of his adventures. I am more reliable than he. Let me tell you about him;



Image


      thing
      /THiNG/
      noun
        1. an object that one need not, cannot,
        or does not wish to give a specific name to.

He was born on a planet, dubbed Venus, by the Galacic league.

Here on Venus- each and every Venetian ever to come into existence is given a Thing. All Things are different; in colour, in shape and in varying purposes. But their main purpose is to be companions with the Venitian they are given to- What they call, their connexare.

Each Thing is shaped after the intended dreams of their connexare. They are built that way, formed after the futures they and their connexare will go after. That is why, I, Booples am in the shape of a stereotypical star.

Because my Venitian wished to voyage to the stars and explore space-- traversing the galaxies.

Now, mind you, everyone was given their Thing at a young age. That is why all of our labels are so ridiculous. With Venetians receiving their Things when they were so small we were forever dubbed silly names such as "Booples" or "Doopdeedoo"
"Bean"
"Bingle"
"Bopple"
"Coopie"
"Siviv"
"Dingle"
"Dangle"
And so on.

As simple as our names may seem, Kiki's actual name is too complex to communicate in many other tongues. He is still adapting between your language and his. That is why I'm talking to you, human researcher. Ahh, you puny earthlings and your studies. We, Venusians do not have certain words that you do, so excuse anything that may, partially, be lost in translation. Kiki is learning about you, as you are of us. One of the reasons why I am here, I have an enamored position by his side.

I am his translator-definetly, his monitor, and I teach him a very many things. Like speaking in the human tongue, a least one way of doing it. And with how airheaded he can be at times I am the one who he calls when he needs help. Booples to the rescue. I have all data of him on me, And when the Galactic league squirm in to check our information for travel I communicate most, to all, ordeals.

That despicable Galactic league.


Solar Systemic Overview wrote:
    Planet: 24; Venus
    Sibling planet: Earth- "The twin of Venus, similar in shape and size and once similar in formation."

    Average surface pressure: 92 bar or 9.2 MPa; High atmospheric pressure compared to other planets
    Low amount of water; water vapor: 20 ppm

    Temp:
    Minimum surface temperature: + 870 °F (+ 465°C)
    Maximum surface temperature: + 870 °F (+ 465°C)
    Temperature levels reach enough for lava flows to survive
    Northern continent: Ishtar Terra
    Southern continent: Aphordite Terra

    The Galacic league has a Solar systemic overview of every planet in our galaxy, and far beyond- They are the
    space Guardians in a way, they have vast data on every planet from here to Prigma 14, and they require a strict
    code of conduct to follow for every working traveler. All travelers of space should know of them, including Kiki.

      • All new planets, ready to explore, will be shown on a data board with a Solar systemic overview
      • The Galactic league will give each traveler one assigned planet to study and tour
      • One must adapt to the planet they are assigned to
      • All traveling must have their ID card
      • Research said planet assigned to
      • Find new materials wile researching
      • Create notes
      • Do not harm the planet/s

    They are the ones no one wants to be caught opposing. The main intellect and law.
    Though, usually... They just have a way of getting in the way.

    I and Kiki were sent to Earth to understand it, scope up some elements and materials, then to investigate the wild life and the terrestrials living upon it.

    Wait lets back track first-- To even before Kiki and I had come into contact. Way back when he first decided, without a doubt, that what was out there was going to be his future.

    His story of looking up to the sky and saying-- I want to go there.


    Image


    Everything up in the atmosphere was dark, the orange-red skies of Venus made the young child breathe easily, a puff of steam misting up his fur momentarily as he did so. The heat of the carbon dioxide, mixing beside the water vapour, made him shudder with tearless unease, soon afterwards.

    The cloud tops had eased down slowly, and as he was trailing back in towards his homing... something caught him by surprise... Or rather someone. "Dad...!" His voice rang out, one much quieter than one that would carry the yell of an Earthling child; of many species.

    He made an elated expression that his dad copied, gently nestling his head against his sons. "Where's daddy?" the little child's dad asked, which he responded to by quickly running back towards their, cave like, abodes. "Daddy! Daddy! Dad's back."

    It took less than a moment for the adult to respond, wiping at his paw like appendages with a cloth, and quickly grabbing something secret in his mouth as they ran. He sprinted out the door with his son, his Thing in hot pursuit. His Thing was formed after a Venesian rock, quite good for camouflage, after daddys dream of becoming a studier of the physical structures and substances of his planet. This little rock Things name was Veelo.

    Abruptly daddy stopped in his tracks, his gaze meeting with his lovers. The child, Kiki, kept on running, grabbing at his dads abdomen sweetly. "See daddy?" The young boy said.

    Daddy nodded softly, more to himself than to his child, gently pulling the little secret item from his mouth, it's one corner barely wet. It was a note... "Vikar..." Dad said, opening up his arms.

    It took no moment whatsoever for him to swiftly race towards his mate. Kiki felt squished as the two adults squeezed together in a hug. Soon he was watching with amusement as dad picked up daddy and spun him around, lightly bouncing him up before letting his hind legs settle back down.

    "What are you doing back?" Daddy was talking, but he seemed to be too busy touching dads face really. It was as if he was making sure, you had to be sure.

    "Now, Vikar, you know the answer to that question." Dad smiled calmly, affectionately, stroking daddys back. "I'm done with my new invention! Come on Kiki, I want to show you both something amazing." Kiki giggled, letting Veelo, the little Thing, come float beside him. "Veelo, you missed dad too?" Veelo only made a soft, humming noise as they drifted beside Kiki's parents.

    Kikis grin could burn the brightest of stars. Veelo came, setting himself lightly on the little Venusians head. "It's dark," he said as if it wasn't obvious. "Mmhm Veelo."

    "Chastin," Daddy took a second, both his and Chastins, dads, arms around each other still. "Yes love?"

    Vikar leaned over, gently kissing his mates nose, as if he was a child. "You don't know how much I've missed you." Chastin grinned. "Oh, but I do. I missed you and Kiki and..." His black gaze turned towards the dusty appearing red Thing sitting on Kiki's head. "Veelo too. More than the water that warms my body, and the Ishtar mountains around our home. Now come." He took Vikars hand and began walking with pace, he knew where he was going and how grand it would be.

    Just past a small rocky expanse, with uneven altitudes of land Chastins new invention waited, with his Thing Divi as well. Both daddy and dad, readjusting gently, took one of Kikis hands, from time to time swinging him up and bringing him back down with a dip, as they talked.

    "Around Aphrodite Terra there's barely any mountains. The Ovda Regio is covered in so many cracks and fractures, with lava flows traveling from ridges amid vicarious paths. You'd love it Vikar." He could just tell by how excited his beloved got with the given information, he'd just adore what he said next. "I brought back some samples for you." Laughing as Vikar grinned widely at him, with an intent "Goodie." coming from him Chastin nodded back in responce. Gently they lifted Kiki up, off of the ground and teetered him over a small rock, plopping him down on the other side.

    "Almost there, can you see the silver metal?" Chastin lifted Kiki up to his waist and pointed to a large metallically constructed item in the distance, just a few moments away. "A-a little." Kiki blinked at it. "Let's go really see it dad!" He wanted to know how it would be like to see it up close and personal. Of course, that's what they were going to do. Kiki ran off, standing on a small rock bump almost half his size and peering over a bijou ridge to get a closer look.

    The rocks and ground randomly jutted up a few feet, enough to lean on with it's strength, tenderly able to transpierce someone with the wrong way of movement. Small dips and curves on its top presented it with elegant appearing, and yet unpleasant, extended out points. Of course, any inhabitant of Venus was used to these by now. Once you'd seen something enough times adaptation beckoned unvarying.

    Vikar laughed at them both as he watched his family, Chastin lifting Kiki up over the abrupt ledge and plopping him down. It took a moment for the boy to feel land underneath him again, but once he did he stepped back, watching as his dad leapt over the ledge. His kind were known for being able to do such acts, large elegant leaps that by far surprised and amazed. Hopping feet upon feet up, although not too high. There were still things that could be reached without a little help.

    Vikar followed his husband in his steps, going over the jutted edge as if it was made of the carbon that sarounded them. He ruffled up Kikis head, smiling down at him as the boy squinted. They had gotten close now.

    Now, as they neared, a small form floated in the nearby distance, in the shape of a clump of platinum. "And there's Divi, waiting for us." Kiki stared wide eyed at the metallic invention sitting there on the dusty land, where the ground smoothened. The child felt the difference, as land that felt like waves turned into land that felt like a sea at ease. Walking through the uneasy path they reached both Divi and the dads new invention with no time waisted, Kiki's face brightening up with an expression of wonderment.

    "It doesn't really have a name yet. I've been calling it the Mark2k1 for a long wile now." Dad strokes a hand over the invention as Divi and Veelo floated around each other, speaking their greetings. "Hello." Veelo did a spin. "Hello." Divi did one as well. They began talking about what they'd seen on their time apart.

    "It's amazing dad." Chastin beamed, turning to the invention swiftly. "It's not just what I wanted to show you. I have a very big surprise." Walking to the other side of the machine he kneeled, quickly pressing a few buttons on a large assortment as if it was the easiest thing one could do apart from breathing. Softly the translucent, almost pink seeming, sphere connected to the invention parted at the top and opened up.

    "Step inside." With a swift movemnt Chastin slipped into the sphere atop the machine, his son comming to sit on his lap. Vikar followed, sitting down right beside them with their Things floating in. He leaned over, pressing a few more buttons before pushing the large lever to the side of it all.

    There was a hissing, followed by arising co2 all happening as the transparent pink bubble closed around them. Vikar trifled with the small letter he had tucked in his hand, for so long that he had actually almost forgotten it, as he sat. Chastin sat beside him, with Kiki sitting before them, between the two excitedly. "In just a secound... This invention will rise up. And it will show you three[Kiki, Veelo, and Vikar] something beautiful. Something new... Yet something that may never stop being beautiful, even if it ever does get old to you."

    And, he was right. He could barely have been more right. All three of them jostled as the rising movement of the machine began, Kiki craned his neck back, with excited eyes beaming at his dad in awe. It was as if... He didn't have to say 'Dad, this is incredible!' His expression said it for him.

    Vikar leaned on Chastin, kissing his cheek lightly and smiling, letting his face stay against his beloveds. "I have a surprise for you too." He played lightly with the letter like thing as they rose up higher. It was grand, seeing Venus from up above- as you went rising and rising and rising up above the lands. They were engulfed in bright, vibrant oranges and deep reds up until the very last minute.

    Soon they breached the sulfuric cloud layer, it was filled with soft darkness and strong dark clouds- of gray whisps and puffs, and faint blue and many reds. It was dense and thick, still quite vivid to look at though. Kiki had, without noticing, pressed his hands up against the soft transparent sphere, watching the brilliance go by.

    Then, it happened. Almost out of nowhere, yet it should have been anticipated. The little boy gasped as soon as his mind realized the wonder that his eyes were catching.

    Up, above the cloud line, with streaks of grey and gray, over the red and yellow misting over shinning bright items sitting in the sky, there were things of almost imagination. "It's not what anyone expects, but... It's so great," dad said as he nodded towards his son when Kiki blinked at him curiously. Daddy and dads hands rested against one another, objects bigger than they could ever imagine greeting them all up there. Slowly Divi and Veelo floated down, resting with hummering noises on their connexares heads, as if they needed a rest wile taking such artifacts in.

    Close by Earth could be seen, a mix of blue, wight and green. Shinning farther away, it seemed, was Mercury with its dusty, intense body. Kiki leaned back, cuddling up to his parents as they watched the world of theirs growing bigger in every instant. There was twinkling whatsits far off, dad called them stars.

    Vikar looked over, teasing Veelo with a small twitch of the head to hear him make a small rumbling of surprise. "This letter, " He held it up to Chastin. "It said I was accepted to examine rocks in the Taer museum[Great institution on Venus, quite a nice opportunity]. They'll be showing me things I've never seen before." He grinned widely, obviously ecstatic. Kiki was still busy being amazed by... Space really. Each and every bit of what he could see, and what he could just feel... Just knew was out there. Vikar spoke in a soft voice, "Things about this planet..." He glanced up at the moon of earth, close by. "And new planets as well." He let Chastin take the letter from him- as he gave daddy a big kiss on the cheek for congratulations, sometimes words weren't needed.

    Vikar ruffled up Kikis hair again. "I'll show you guys everything that I find. I can even tell you whats the best to use on your inventions." His grin simpered into a smile, a finger going to his mouth as he winked. As if it was a quint little secret. "I just... Didn't know how to tell you about it, when it'd be right?... and I guess it's time."

    Vikar leaned back, head resting on the sphere gently, Veelo barely readjusting. Chastin did the same, Divi lightly tapping her body on the sphere. "Delta 41, uncalculatable light years away," she said, floating onto Chastins lap. Kiki would want to go there someday too. The charming appeal of the, rather, glittering sight of space- as little as the view was right now, for him was only beginning to form.



    His invention: Machine with two parts- The bottom compartment stays on the ground, wile the top is the one that goes up, over the cloud line, with a circular bubble like protection latched on, the sphere opens and the intended step/sit inside- once certain buttons have been pushed for altitude and protective velocity- protection from too much light and wind[Via 500km/h although the ground of Venus is calm- it's just higher that these rougher winds pick up. Ie.The reason for the spherical protection], and a lever pushed for movement-- the top compartment rises up to a clear view of the sky-- Wile down below on Venus it is very hard to see other planets/stars because of the thickness of the atmosphere, reaching the cloud tops though- they are able to view Earth and the Moon, both shinning brightly, along with Mercury being easy to spot.

I feel... Obliged to tell you more about ourselves. As individuals, if that does anything. Mainly genetic and personality themed information for your research.

We Things are made up of certain elements and materials found in and around Venus, that the antennae of Kiki's kind picks up. Sort of like a magnet getting attracted to certain metals, but more genetically complex.

We are, in fact, sentient. If you hadn't picked up on that. We all have life, with thoughts and emotions, because our life forms were put into new bodies.
We are the ones that could not survive on our planets, so we were brought to Venus to slip our beings into a new living body- a body made of tech- and the materials of Venus soil, but a body nonetheless. It is mutualism, they help the dying or sick of other planets and other planets help them explore their lands.

Yes human, a human has once become a Thing as well.

I can change size, most, if not all, other Things can as well. His default size is usually as small as a hand held rock or human ball, though I can grow to become as big as Kiki's head. And I can also glow, I absorb light energy- it assists in many ways. It keeps both Kiki and me warm, especially in earth, a planet Kiki finds quite cold. It also protects his eyes, less light goes in to his photosensitive eyes if I am around with my absorption.

I am quite an asset, if I mite say.

Although Kiki's actual limbs are very similar to humans/Kiamaras -- two front legs, two back, able to stand on all fours -- although they usually are on their two hind legs, a mouth, nostrils, and ears- ears like the ones in his Kiamara form.

Two things that differ greatly are the two pathways from his mouth. One is shown on the picture above. One pathway takes in only water vapour[Liquid water as well, though mainly vapour]- this path leads to small tubules that get smaller and branch out. Like a human has pores- although Venusians ones don't take in, his species has small holes on their flesh that release water vapour. Water is mostly taken in for temperature balence, and when heated enough his body will become shrouded in steam as the water heats him and escapes.
The black markings on his fur are a small indicator, usually this pore like 'holes' where steam is let out will be on the dotted black markings on his belt.

The secound pathway is where his main organs are connected to- for blood circulation and such, organs similar to a stomach and a liver. This pathway takes in all of the other things, and also connects to his respiratory system for breathing.


    • Very strong, tough yet smooth paw pad like flesh particles beneath their from and back paws-- that resist against the heat presented on Venus.

    • Takes in carbon dioxide

    • Cant do well in cold

    • Can survive most[Extreme and blearing] heat- much better than most earth creatures

    • Photosensitive eyes, they draw in light for vision; Which is the reason for his glasses

    • Kiki's body was not built for solid foods- instead he has a chemical coming from his salivary glands that breaks down certain rocks he eats for nutrients

    • Kiki is soft voiced -- mostly to do with the atmospheric density being softer on Earth compared to Venus

    • Most respiration enhailance co2

    • Nutrients/food is had mojorily by the intake of gases and liquids

adores Earths animal creatures, a bit air headed -- mainly do to him arriving on another planet with no idea what's going on.
Kiki has a bad memory.

Extra notes on Kiki:
• Drifts in and out of dialect
• Plays the spacedrum
• Almost always wearing his sunglasses
• As all Venusians- gets nutrition from a variety of atmospheric gases ie. Nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, water vapour, carbon dioxide, etc
• Also as other Venusians- Kiki's intake consists of liquids and gases; no solids- except for certain rocks for nutrition lacking elsewhere
• Liquid salivary chemical in the mouth for breaking down said rocks
• Kiki adores Earths animals
• Spends his time in nature, in forests and other places- getting acquainted with many animals
• Is quite spacey, yet has an extreamly intectual mind- one to rival many on earth



Kiki wishes to somehow adapt to this new planet. He wants to understand, as well as take in its beauty.
He went to earth searching for new perspective, new ways of life never before seen-- as he so says.

There is always a different way of looking at things Booples.

Hush Kiki. This isn't the placement for your life motto.

And

Of course, as grand as any other planet is Kiki is prone to go back home every wile. I am too. Because he misses his daddies and the land altogether, plus I must go home to recharge, in intervals that is. Venus, it's his home planet, where everything started- Where he met me, and where the beggening of his story resides.

It's also where the beggening of my story resides, where I was created... With elements of me all taken from that Venus soil. Where I met Kiki, and we promised we'd see the universe.

It's very... What's the word Booples? A lot... It means a lot.

Amazing, special, splendiferous, homey... Special.

Special. It's very special to us.

Yes, it is. Although, you would miss being an adventurer, wouldn't you?
Kiki would miss the planets, and the sceince, the seas, the comets, the darkness... The stars.


Booples, he looks like a...

Star...

Yes, I know. He's bright, very nurturing and protective. Not quite like a star, one that burns and then explodes.... although he looks like a stereotypical one floating in the...

Universe Kiki. I just said the word a few minutes ago.

Mmhm, in the universe. It's wonderful.




Adaptations to, and observations of, Earth:

Reaction to Earths seasons: Venus does not have seasons as Earth does. Wherever you go the temperature, on Venus, stays at a steady 460 °C. That has to do with the relatively small axial tilt of Venus; 2.7°[Venus may be tilted on its axis, but that doesn't do much concerning seasonal difference, because the tilt is so small, the difference is nonexistent] wile Earths axial tilt is 23.4°- that significant tilt means that the two opposing hemispheres of earth get a lot more or less heat energy depending on what side they are on at which time- ie. if they're closer to the sun or farther.[Which is why there are temperature differences all around the world, seasons are the reaction to that]. Along with Venus' extreamly strong atmospheric pressure keeping the planets temperature evenly distributed at 460, it is a strong new thing to adapt to the changing seasons of earth.

Considering that the temperature on Venus is so high and consistently so, wile summer on Earth would present to be the hottest months for Earthlings- For a Venusian summer is cold within comparison. Although Kiki has had a small amount of training[Via from Booples, as the Galactic league has the idea that travelers should go into new lands head first and adapt from there on- probably another reason as to why Booples dislikes them so], and although his furry, sturdy exterior assist him in those cold... Summer months, what helps him most is his own internal genetics [Examine genetics/anatomy sheet above]. The winter months cause trouble for Kiki, which is where Booples comes in for help. He can absorb light energy and because of that assists Kiki in intervals, to keep him warm.

Light: Because of his extremely light senseative eyes there are only very rare chances that Kiki will be without his sunglasses on Earth. Scientifically designed by his dad to aid a Venusians eyes, if an Earthling were to look through it all they'd see would be darkness. Because of Venus' strong atmosphere, and large cloud line only extraneously small amounts of light come in. Venusians eyes are adapted to this, they can instead handle the darkness, and draw small, remedial amounts of light in. Kiki can though, at night, see with great skill.

Atmosphere: Breathing has become a bit troublesome to adapt to, Venusians have organs similar to lungs- except that the intake quantity is different. They take in much more carbon dioxide than oxygen, though oxygen is also taken in. Earth has carbon dioxide, but it has more of a mix of other gases- which Kiki is used to taking in to keep the neural processes of his body going, just not in Earths amount. Booples will sometimes gauge to see how much and what variety of certain gases are flowing through him, as well as water.

To be done- after more research;;
