Capital Thoughts

by **Kalaspia-Shimarata** » Wed Apr 20, 2011 5:38 am

Every time you think of/hear etc. The name of your nation's capital city, what is the first image which pops in your head? Why? I don't know why but the first image I get when I think of/hear etc. Ipsola, I see me being next to the exchaust pipe of a car which was fully stalled and just pressed the exelarator

The skyline of Mallena.

Beautiful isn't it?

"When you approach the Capital City of Rhehiv'je the first thing catching your Eye is the imperial Senate Hall. A magnificent white marble build Complex which reminds you on a ancient Palace. Sure its filled with state of the Art equippment and information Technology to reach even the last backwater System in our Empire.
While the Air is filled with Aircars, Shuttles coming or going back to Orbit, you see illustrious People walking, shopping and enjoying a bright Day on wide and clean Boulevards. These large Streets are shadowed by dozens of old *Allegoria Trees*, some over 150m tall.
Walking away from the Center you come to the Villa's of our noble People, each of them a architectual miracle and Piece of Art. Here you find the creme of our Society, Senators, high ranking military Commanders, rich and powerfull bussines men, living a formidable live.

Actually there are many, many more things makeing Rhehiv'je the Pride of our Empire, but these are things you need to see yourself to belive them..."

OMG, that is almost the same picture I had in my head when you told me the name of your capital

The city of Equity is still recovering from the civil war, as it can be seen by the damaged apartment blocks in the foreground, but it still cannot be matched by level of discipline and organization by any other capital city in the world.

It's actually powered by Magick, NOT electricity alone.

the smell of ozone discharges and fresh rain.....its a flying city

by **Utopiaana** » Wed Apr 20, 2011 8:21 am

The picture that pops up is the huge Capitol building, in the center of the capital of Redford. It houses the legislative body of this nation. My Capital is the biggest city in the nation, but every State in Utopiaana has it's own Capital in a way. We're a decentralized nation.

by **Victorious Decepticons** » Wed Apr 20, 2011 9:07 am

It's not an image, but a smell, that first comes to mind upon thinking of Decepticon Headquarters on Planet Cybertron.

The smell of thick exhaust permeates everything on the planet, and the capitol has even more of it than usual thanks to how busy it is. Every Decepticon has a constantly-running combustion engine for guts, so shutting off the source of the exhaust is not a viable solution.

Visually, the outskirts of the city are predominately low buildings. The skyscrapers of the city itself are visible, but their true scale is only prominent once you get closer. To a Decepticon, the buildings just seem normal - Decepticons are big, and the buildings are bigger, but everything is "to scale."

From a human perspective, though, Decepticon Headquarters surely seems cosmically massive. Some of the buildings reach towards 10,000 feet (3,333m) and their inhibitants are 100 ft/33m tall! The size of the people means that these buildings aren't 1,000 stories tall, but only 50-100 Decepticon-scale stories. Needless to say, Cybertron has engineering methods that Earth did not. Cybertron's extra-stable ground (no quakes) and calm weather (no hurricanes or tornadoes) also help to keep its massive skyscrapers standing.

Color-wise, the buildings are pretty bland. Most of the buildings are made of steel or a steel-like substance. While some are plated in golden hues or other colors of metal, the majority are left a light steel-silver.

That's not to say that the city itself is colorless. With millions of Decepticons living and doing business there, the vivid paint of its inhabitants makes the streets swirl with constantly-moving colors. Humans' body colors are certainly boring compared to our people's paint jobs!

Whenever i think of Keroslav, this image always pops into my head.

Crowded, dusty streets.

The Presidential Palace.

by **Tastor (Ancient)** » Wed Apr 20, 2011 1:19 pm

I think of Coruscant. Because the city Coruscant is a small-scale version of the planet Coruscant.

by **Thurask** » Wed Apr 20, 2011 2:53 pm

The color gray. It helps that most of Thurask City is made of prefab concrete apartment buildings built to hold as many people in as small a space as possible.
