Sorry, my computer stopped working yesterday (I am currently on a hand-held device) when I tried to make the map after much procrastination, but I'm still here. So, if we want a map, someone else has to make it.

RACE/TRIBE APP:
Tribe Name:Luraki
Race Name: Avari:Omnivorous species which dwell near tropical rainforests and in coastal caverns. They have developed theory of mind and are able to problem solve, store memories, and imagine.
Ideology:Isolationism, Self-reliance, Species unificationism, individualism, rationalism
Appearance:
Culture:There are no gender roles. As long as you are an Avari, you are considered family. There differnt traditions such as large tribal feasts which take place every 20 sun cycles or days.
Gov't:Individualistic collectivist government with a direct democracy
Religion:The Avari are a wondering species which really have no deities or pantheons. They have not observed anything of the sort so therefore they do not believe or worship such things. They instead give thanks to their environment and to their ability to wonder.

They do not seem like they would be very technologically if they still have no religion.
Remember that in this time period religions are extremely beneficial, they help keep social structures functioning, they help people decide right from wrong, they are usually the driving force behind technological advancement, and they help explain natural phenomena.
Religion is less beneficial and less necessary today because we can explain many things no tribe or city state ever could, and have much better developed cultures and moral standings.
There is also the point that almost every single other tribe on the planet would hate them for their lack of religion, and your people would be extremely easy to convert as at this point in time the only "logical" explanation for many things would be some god or other driving force.
I would suggest that you give them something to worship, however it is your tribe.
Just be warned that no religion at all would result in a relativity culturally backward civilization that would be very easy to destroy with a few missionaries.
I hope you take this into consideration.

They give thanks and worship their environment. They worship the nearby star, the vegetation, the ocean, etc. I dont think religion and deities are that important in the development of a civilization. Honestly one can do without. The Avari really haven't discovered why certain things occur so therefore they feel they cannot claim to know absolutely.

You should add that they worship those things in your religion section, "giving thanks" does not explain much.
That is still a religion, but an earlier form of one.
Like the ancient hunters that worshiped totems crafted from the skin and bones of deer, or the Celts and Britons that worshiped trees.
However, I would like to remind you once again that although a civilization by no means needs a religion, it is important early on as it helps develop a sense of nationalism and explains your environment, also as previously stated humans, and I assume these Avari, naturally seek answers to questions, and will at least attempt to formulate a guess.
Few civilizations have ever settled by saying that they have no idea how something works, and been happy with that.
That would considerably stagnate scientific and cultural growth, so if you want a very advanced civilization I suggest they at least partially create a relativity advanced religion that explains some things but maybe not all.
You do not have to worship deities, but a civilization blindly worshiping nature and objects with no real pretense of why and that settles for not knowing things seems like one that would not get too far.

There is a reason why they worship their environment! I didn't want to explain everything in the App! I wanted to reveal some things in-character!

It could, in a way. Read about my nation! But, yes, it would have to be handled delicately.

OK, fine I'll keep it up, but I can't OP, I'm caught up in quite a bit of school work from now until Christmas, and maybe after Christmas, so I'm cutting back on NS.

Find a good friend to be OP, then we will be saved!

I hereby nominate Laxus as new OP. I'll try to stick around as an RPer, but I might not even have time for that.

Ah!

Will we begin the IC thread anytime soon or do you declare this thread dead as well?
