What is the most descriptive image of your nation's people? (or description, if an image cannot be found or made) What is their lifestyle like?

by **Hulkservania** » Tue Feb 08, 2011 3:29 pm

Hulking!

They are all Hulks or She-Hulks. The main difference between them is their color.

Imaging a Dragoon, 101.

First, take your average western dragon, a massive creature with the ability to shoot fire.
Remove the fire, give it the ability to move on both it's legs, shrink it down to eight feet.

Give it a very thick layer of scales on it's back, arms and legs, this is ESSENTIAL.
Make it's teeth protrude from it's mouth only slightly more, give it claws capable of grasping objects.
Give it a Biomechanical eyepiece, beneath it a slit eye of red with a feint glow, make it rougly built and strong.

Add clothes, and optionally, a gun and armour.

Unfortunately, I do not have any sort of image to guide the finished product, however, go off what you have made from the guide.
If you wish to give it the feel of what they look like in our nation, add abit of snow and ice to the scales.

As for their lifestyle, it's varied.
Some are die hard loyalists to the nation and act honorable towards eachother.
Most are elitist about their species, 'Proud to be' in other words.
So hard to explain, different Dragoons have different views.

By taking pictures of a large number of random Bafurians of each sex we could mix the pictures together in a computer to create the "average" Bafurian couple

EDIT: oh you meant lifestyle, hang on...

I highly doubt there is an image anywhere of what is going to be described.

Most citizens still adhere to the old socialist uniform code, despite being abolished.

The shirt is dark blue, with a gold string in a down-right-down-left. It fits tight, but not so tight as a one-piece body suit.
The hat is a dark blue tricorn with gold edges on the rims. Unlike any other piece of the uniform, it can be taken off in public.
The leggings are dark blue as well, with a gold string pattern similar to the shirt collar, and are about as tight as the shirt.
The shoes are dark blue leather, with gold buckles.

Dark blue is defined as

Best description:

If you want happiness for an hour -- take a nap. If you want happiness for a day -- go fishing. If you want happiness for a month -- get married. If you want happiness for a year -- inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime -- help someone else.

The Nekronian people are (mostly) tall, pale, green eyes, brown hair, thin, muscular... naturally.

OOC: I have a description in my sig, but might as well cement it in a nice, straight-forward fashion...

H'Tev are a very large, sturdy, blunt race. This tends to make them appear callous or emotionless to others. However, they live in very tight-knit family communities, with males serving as military and females directing the family - or Pride - from the safety of the Nest. It is not unheard of for a female to engage in battle nor a male to be proficient at diplomacy. However, males are very protective and fond of their families, even if they are not directly related to the Matriarch and will rip invaders in half without a thought if they see the Nest as threatened. It is this natural inclination to violence against other species that make males key to the military and yet wonderful parents.
Prides are only vaguely related to each other, just as humans are to each other across nations. There is no coherent, central government, but Prides almost never war with themselves. Matriarchs often work together to gain mutually beneficial resources.

H'Tev stand nearly nine feet tall and are eight feet long. Their base physiology is similar to that of the human myth of a centaur. They have a torso connected to a quadruped form. The easiest description is that of a Gorilla torso - head, body and arms - connected to the body of a grizzly bear, approximately where the head would be normally. They can weigh in at around 700lbs for an average.
The lightest was 500lb; heaviest was over a 1000lb.

That's funny, because that happens to be a really easy face for the Khazyani Department of Foreign Affairs' surgeons to mimic from a medical point of view. This means we can have an agent who looks something like an average Bafurian in your country in a matter of weeks. Don't mess with the KDFA.

What is the most descriptive image of your nation's people?

What is their lifestyle like?

Tsvarchivans are some of the happiest, most eccentric, and rowdiest people you'll ever come across. They love to dress up in elaborate costume and party like its their birthday - every day. They are very open minded and liberal people, and love to have fun in everything they do. The Tsvarchivan lifestyle can be summed up as busy, fast-paced, and unusual. Tsvarchivans are very social and love to work and be in environments that are full of life and action, and are spontaneous and full of energy.

Tsvarchivans live a very cosmopolitan lifestyle. They live in very social apartment complexes where nobody locks their doors, and everyone knows each other because someone is always throwing an open-door party where the whole floor is invited. Tsvarchivans are employed in a myriad of jobs, mostly in the publishing industry, with most doing some kind of freelance work on the side for fun/pleasure or a little side-money for social events. They aren't religious, being an almost exclusively atheist country, but the bulk of Tsvarchivans subscribe to the Philosophy of Xanthaiyan, which guides their lives and decisions, and attending temple is a very important part of the Tsvarchivan lifestyle, being such social party animals.

The Tsvarchivan family is usually comprised of a single mom or dad and their two or three children, and perhaps their boyfriend/girlfriend at the time. Tsvarchivans don't subscribe to the notions of monogamy and marriage, believing that both are unnatural concepts, and instead believe in being in the moment, and staying with someone as long as it is beneficial to both parties, and while Tsvarchivans are usually loyal to one person at a time, polygamy isn't that uncommon and people having children out of wedlock is the norm. Bisexuality is also common, with more than 2/3s of Tsvarchivans saying they've been in a relationship with the same sex before - indeed, some 33% of Tsvarchivans in a relationship are in one with a member of the same sex.

Harrovians are a largely rural people, who lead relatively simple and quiet lives compared to the more cultured and cosmopolitan nations of mainland, Western Europe. The majority of Harrovians live in rural communities such as villages and small towns, and even the capital city of the Harrowlands, Roedean, could be considered no more than a large country town. The Industrial Revolution came and went without a striking degree of acknowledgement in the Harrowlands, and it is for that reason that the countryside is inhabited much more than the cities, we remain primarily agrarian, and that we are still considered a very 'backwards', 'uncultured', 'unsophisticated', even 'barbarian' people by the powdered noses of Europe. It comes from isolation at the borders of Christendom and the borders of the once-known world - a strange people living on the edges of civilisation, amongst the gloomy, misty glens and the terrible, frost-bitten highlands.

We are a very religious people, with 94% of inhabitants being Christian - 80% of those Christians being a member of the established Anglican Church of Harrowland. The Church is very much a part of people's lives, and very much part of the local community. Superstitious beliefs, hangovers from Pagan beliefs, are still common among Harrovians, however. Many different "spiritual", non-Christian local ceremonies are performed, often as local traditions spanning back before the introduction of Christianity in the 9th Century, even some which are Pictish in origin from before the Anglo-Harrovian "invasion".

In such an agrarian, unurbanised country, Harrovians' loyalties are divided between local and national. While very loyal to their local communities, Harrovians still have a strong sense of their national identity, and hold great sentiments of royalism and love for their Queen.

We are darkelves living in the sun, we enjoy life in our peaceful but well-fortified country, busy with art, philosophy, science and magic ... I have no image for that though.

Sentient/intelligent Mosasaurs

Mosasaurians tend to be creepy, agressive, but kindhearted and hard-working people who often have too much time on their hands and, whether human or mosasaur, tend to hunt for their own food and are quite independent.

Well, the standard human description of a Jankenjin is usually "a kangaroo with feathers".

That's not quite right, but not too far off. We are built remarkably like the kangaroos of Earth, with large legs and a thick balancing tail, and we do hop. We don't exactly have feathers; our bodies are covered in something like a firm bird's down. Sort of halfway between the fur of Terran mammals and the feathers of Terran birds, which is why we call them "furfeathers".

The furfeather coating is fairly sparse over our bodies, except for our heads, where it forms a headcrest, what we call our "frill". The crest is flexible, and is considered a secondary sexual feature--it signifies our ogawa/megawa status, being raised when we're ogawa and flattened when we're megawa. Running down our backs from the frill and over our tails, and ending in a large tuft at the end, is a thick line of furfeathers; dubbed our "tail". It develops when a young Jankenjin reaches puberty, and thus is also considered a secondary sexual characteristic, a sign of sexual maturity.

The unique characteristic of Jankenjin is that we are neither male nor female, but can assume either sexual role, depending on who our partner is. We have three "sexes", the guujin, chokijin, and paajin, and when two Jankenjin of different sex are together, one is ogawa (roughly equivalent to male) and the other megawa (roughly equivalent to female). "Roughly", in that while they're biologically male or female, the psychology of the relationship is completely different from humans.

Jankenjin have a pronounced sexual trimorphism. The three sexes show marked differences, appearing almost like different species. Guujin are reddish in color and are heavyset, chokijin dark bluish-black, about a head taller than guujin and thin, and paajin are blond, about a head shorter than guujin, and tend to have more juvenile looking features than the other two sexes. They're also quite different psychologically, with guujin tending toward concrete thought and favoring physical action, chokijin being more logical, abstract thinkers, and paajin being highly emotional and spiritual in their outlook.
