Ɯнαт ιѕ Ƶαησν?

Lightyears away, an earth-like planet known to humans as Zanov orbits the cojoined bodies of twin blue stars.

This planet, dominated by the welcoming race of insect-like creatures known as Zineks, is filled with all manors of exotic beasts to capture man's fancy. Thanks to the Zineks' superior technology and hospitality, many colonies of explorers seek Zanov's beautiful landscapes to study its many intriguing inhabitants. What beasts will you find in this alien environment?

To join, see "Starting Out". To read more about the planet, see below.

Aвσυт Ƶαησν

Here is all information about Zanov.
Note that the below is for fictional fun only, and is not required to know to be part of the adopts. To join the community, scroll down and see "Starting Out"

Ƭнє Ɛηνιяσηмєηт
Luckily for humans, Zanovian is a remarkably earth-like planet with remarkably earth-like characteristic in chemicals and composition. The air there, while varying in a few chemicals more or less than others, is easily breathable by human beings, and their food consumable.
Zanovian organisms, however, are built with a much different cellular structure than humans.
Ƭнє ǀηαвιтαηтѕ
Zanov, while inhabited by all manners of creatures, is dominated by the Zireks.
Zireks are large, 8-legged insect-like creatures. Being powerful and with no predators to fear, they are relatively friendly towards humans, but their culture and law must still be obeyed. While humans are incapable of producing the chittering-sounds they use to communicate, their elites are roughly able to speak Earthen languages.
Ƭнє Ƈυℓтυяє
Zireks are matriarchal, with the females the largest and strongest. They may have multiple mates at once, as males outnumber them greatly in population (note that these are aliens with lifestyles much different than ours). They are ruled by the Queen, the largest. Their average lifespan is 120-140 Earth years.
Like Humans, they have a variety of religions within their races, though being technologically advanced, many have moved on from religion and instead live in an atheistic society based mostly around science.
Ƭнє Mσηαяcну
Since Zanov only has 1 large landmass, the entire continent is ruled by the Queen and her mates, which all behave as high lords. The Queen is noticeably different in anatomy, being large and elaborate. Heritage is passed down through Monarchy to the firstborn Queen egg (about 1 egg in every batch of 5-8 will be a Queen, while others will be the normal-Zirek race, same as her mates). The other "Queens" will be forbidden from mating to keep the genetics strictly within the royal heritage. Upon the death of the Queen, it is passed down to her firstborn.
Ƭнє Ƈιту
Zireks are hive-like creatures. Years ago in their prehistoric era, they lived as many different Clans scattered about the continent; now, every member of the population lives in an advanced, bustling city that continues from horizon to horizon, dictated by the Queen's High Lords each overseeing a different Sector. With advanced technology, they have achieved full environmental sustainability, and seem to have acquired full political efficiency with a nonviolent and welcoming society. Being hive creatures, not a single one lives outside of their city--such being a psychological thing, requiring them to desire the company of many others--and because of this superhuman unity they appear to live a incredulously peaceful lifestyle.
The City is generally open to human interaction, but rarely do humans go there.

Sтαятιηg Oυт

Here are the basics you should know before moving to establish a base on this planet.

Aвσυт Ƶαησν αη∂ ιт'ѕ Ƈяєαтυяєѕ

Classes- Zanov has many unique creatures with different species put into different Classes.
More classes and species are frequently being discovered.
Currently, there are 4 known classes:

Pisces- 6-eyed, gilled sea monsters
Avis- 6-limbed fluffy, feathery bird-creatures
Sectis- 8-legged, large-eyed armored monsters
Reptis- 6-legged scaled reptile-creatures
Levels, Battling, Breeding, & Profit- Zanovians have different "power levels". This level can't be changed, but can be upped with items. They are heritable and can be used for battling.
Government-run tournaments will occasionally open in which contestants submit an entry fee and a creature. There can be different types of battles set up, such as species-specific or level-specific. The Winner gets their fee as well as 90% of the loser's fee, hence profiting.
So, say for example, the fee was 1000. The winner gets 1900.
Power levels and designs are heritable, and offspring may be sold, gifted, or kept.

Ɛѕтαвℓιѕнιηg Ɓαѕє

To start adopting, you must first acquire a Stable by submitting a form to Soulsplosion.
Different Stables can hold different creatures and can be purchased for different prices. New members automatically get 1 Simple Combo Stable, which can hold 5 of any class, and 1 Simple Class Stable of their choice, which can hold 5 of a specific class.
You must choose a Region to build your base. It can be changed later, but with restrictions.

Rєgισηѕ

Depending on where you establish your base, different creatures may be found. In raffles, this may effect your chance of "finding" the creature depending on whether or not it is in your area, as well as its colors (Ex; Jungle-dwellers are usually brightly colored). There is no constant for all raffles, as it is up to the Artist's decision of where it "appeared" and how it is adopted.
Keep in mind, the region just effects what WILD creatures (aka ones posted on this thread) can be found; you can still adopt species from other users.

Jυηgℓє

The Jungle is a generally neutral place with brightly-colored Avis, Sectis, Reptis, and Pisces.
They're usually more brightly-colored here than in other regions.
Sωαмρ

Reptis and Pisces are averagely found here, but it is rich with Sectis, as well as water-dwelling Avis.
Ɗєѕєят

Reptis are richly found here, but Pisces aren't at all.
(When more Classes are added the deserts will be more diverse.)
Ɓєαcн

Pisces thrive here, as well as water-dwelling Avis. Some species of Reptis and Sectis can thrive here, mainly sand-colored camouflaged ones.
Ɠяαѕѕℓαη∂

Reptis and Sectis are found here as well as Pisces in its rivers, but with grassy plains, tree-nesting Avis find a hard time finding roosts.
Ƭяσριcѕ

Rich with Pisces and dominated by very brightly-colored Avis, but too far off-shore for Reptis and Sectis to find.
Mσυηтαιηѕ

Plenty of roosts for Avis, but with rocky terrain too precarious for carnivorous Reptis (plenty of herbivores though) and with Sectis at the top of the food chain.
Uηιηнαвιтαвℓє

The Zineks are generally confined, close-dwelling creatures who live together, and the north-western mountain valleys are their homes where their population is condensed. There are very few feral creatures that live here, so to construct a home here would be useless.

Looking for hire?

Monsterhunters are always in need to find and report on sightings of creatures in an area. These government-hired explorers are responsible for locating wild creatures and reporting them to stable-owners for locating and capturing; they must supply an image of the creature or creatures in question, as well as information on its movement and location.

To seek hire, fill this form and PM to our great master--I mean your humble friend Soulsplosion.

Hσω тσ A∂σρт

When a creature or a band of creatures is "spotted", a Monsterhunter will report by posting their observations of the creatures, their movement, and location as a color-in of this thread. Often, it will be more than one creature at once. The Monsterhunters establish the regulations for who may capture the creature--depending on its location and movement, it may be region-specific--as well as how many they can capture at once, since there may be a large group of up to 6.


Adoptions will follow the following form, and will only report of a single type of species at once:
