♕ Synopsis ♁

Deep within the jungles of Fa’haad the religious epicenter of Soera, a planet millions of light years away from Earth has been feeling a grave disturbance. Like the humans of earth, the Soerians have not yet met life forms beyond their own Galaxy Isenstar, also called “The Whirlpool Galaxy” or NGC5194 by the human race. Desperate to find a new, more hospitable planet humans have been almost feverishly interested in space travel resulting in the recent discovery of the interstellar displacement equation. Mankind could now freely move around worlds however, the method still needed to be tested. Travelling for twenty long human years in a frozen capsule, a batch of 8 human young-adults (ages 21-25yrs) were sent to Soera, with hopes that it held the possibility of sustaining life, which the travellers would confirm then report back to initiate the evacuation procedures. Any other life forms currently habituating the planet will need to be annihilated. So the team of 8 men and women, viciously trained in the arts of guerilla warfare land within the mysterious depths of Fa’haad, Soera expecting to find lethal extraterrestrials in need of killing, but instead find an educated thriving race, already fully occupying this fruitful planet.

Will they choose to save humanity or save this world from imminent disaster?

1. There will be 4 men and 4 women in the Ship/Capsule.
2. The humans each represent a different country in Earth (USA, England, France, Brazil, India, China, Russia, Africa), speaking their native tongue and English.
3. The story will start immediately after landing procedures, when the capsule is defrosting.
4. The Soerians speak Soerian (like the French speak French) which sounds like a weird mix of French and African.
5. Soerians are very like humans in form and are characteristically Purplish/blue in color and many are tattooed with markings (with the exception of small children, monks, priestesses and Hunters). (Think ‘Drax’ in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ but the blue version)
6. Height of Soerians can range from 5’9” (the shortest) to 7’0” (the tallest). They are generally a tall race across all genders, however females are characteristically shorter.
7. Soera is currently undergoing the human equivalent of “The Renaissance” (think 1700’s), therefore they are very exploratory and curious about the unknown.
8. They have only recently started discovering visually, new planets and galaxies, debating the concept of ‘Aliens’.
9. Basically behave like humans in most ways and have distinct native beliefs such as the tattooing.
10. Slavery is still legal in Soera, in fact your 'wealth' is often measured by the number of slaves you have in your home.
11. They age very similarly to humans; expected life span is about 90 years though.
12. Time in Soera is twice as fast as in Earth due to its faster rotation around its sun. (i.e 1 year in Earth is 2 Soerian years)
13. Some Soerians (especially the monks/priestesses/doctors) hold actual supernatural powers considered the norm in Soera. These are usually telekinetic powers such as Levitation, Mind-Reading and Object Manipulation. Hypnosis is practiced by a very few (such as the Head Monk) but is banned from popular use.
14. The Soerians worship idol gods much like in India (Hinduism), their central goddess being the “True Mother”, in their language “Vaatu”.
15. There are many native animals to this land, which live quite peacefully in tune with the Soerians.
16. Soerians and Native animals do not eat, therefore do not excrete solid waste. They do drink ‘water’ or ‘Mitzu’, which is orange in color. Humans can drink this however it decreases their appetite as a side effect.
17. Climate is generally cool but warm and humid next to Fa’haad.
18. Soera is approximately the same size as earth.
19. There is one fixed language in Soera, unlike Earth.
20. Travelling is done either by Soearian ships across the seas or air-ships, both powered by fuel made from distilled Mitzu.

Clothing

Medieval, the Soerians are slightly conservative so tend to prefer long sleeves. They are also fans of brocades and embroidery.


Politics, Science and Occupations

Politics is similar to earth politics, there is no government- it is still a monarchy, which in turn is influenced by the religious council and head monk. Currently there are 8 ruling monarchs who rule Soera. Each ruling region is vast and about the same size as our Earth Continents, as in the map. The Soerians are free to travel around Soera without the use of passports etc, as their tattoos act as their individual passports. Hunters are not allowed to travel outside their region into other regions. Monks are priestesses are of a special class who can still travel without their tattoos, as are small children. The only space where any and all can enter into is the Fa’haad, the religious epicenter in the form of a great forest connecting all regions.

This is a age of discovery in Soera. The discovery of flight however is not new unlike on earth therefore their methods of internal flight are much more evolved than of mankind’s. Interstellar travel however, was still a blossoming field but, with the humans arriving on Soera, space travel is now being extensively pursued. Medicine in Soera is also very advanced, they are able to cure cancer-type diseases through telekinesis or telekinetic based healing methods.

There are 4 Distinct Classes:
1. The Royals
2. The Nobility/ The Middle Class
3. The Servility
4. The Poor

And 4 Miscellaneous Classes:
1. Religious Council members
2. Courtiers
3. Soldiers
4. Hunters (They handle animal infestations, etc.)

Nobility earn money through their lands and its tenants. Only Nobility can act as courtiers.


Middle-Class Jobs include:
• Farm Land Owners
• Merchants
• Court Officials

Servility Jobs Include:
• Doctors/ Nurses
• Servants
• Farmers
• Runners (Detectives, page boys etc)
• Soldiers

The Poor
• Hunters (depending on family)
• Menials
• Slaves

Currently, there are 4 hunting families. These families are common to all regions.
1. Erich
2. Morodor
3. Carlisle
4. Camerenne


Landscapes

Very similar to those on earth, however there are very few large mountains. Land under hills/mountains is extremely fertile and therefore farms & farmland often surround it. Trees and grass are usually red or orange in color, green plants are considered to hold high-medicinal value and therefore quite expensive due to its rarity. This planet is ‘mitzu’ abundant, with 85% of its surface covered by it. All of it is drinkable.

Animals

Animals in Soera are the same as in earth, however are often multicolored or just blue. They do not excrete solid waste as they do not eat and unlike earth where size can vary, most animals are of the same size (about 1m) except for the Soerian Elepehant ‘Urumak’ and the Soerian Horse ‘Mutentak’. These come in all sizes just like in earth, fit for riding. Also, most of these animals are very intelligent and therefore Soerians are very careful and considerate with their animals, they are also considered holy pure beings. This is why Hunters are not well looked upon however this occupation is passed down through the generations of the appointed family.
