The Sol System and its Races
Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2017 7:10 am
The Milky Way Galaxy- as called by those on Earth- is known to the Asgardians as the Sol System, as it was this specific galaxy that they forced Sol and Manni to ride their chariots around. It is this galaxy that is not only the epicenter of Midgard, but also the most populous of all the galaxies. Coincidentally, the solar system that contains Earth just so happens to be the most populous of the Sol System, as it contains not only humans, but also other beings and races entirely, each with their own culture.
Of course, to start, there are humans, commonly referred to as "Progenitors" by all the other races due to the fact that they were the first race to be created within Midgard and, more specifically, the Sol System. Although they are not the most advanced of the races (but they are very close to actual space travel), they are the most well known and most feared due to not only their advancements in weaponized technology, but also their DNA's potential of becoming superheroes. It is this reason that many races try to avoid interacting with, as their appearance for peace could be taken the wrong way entirely.
When the Progenitors reached their Moon, they encountered their first non-human race known as the Mus (pronounced "Moose"). The Mus were tiny, mouse-like people with humanoid features. Although their world was destroyed by the Asteroid Belt, they were able to use space travel to escape and settle under the surface of Earth's moon. Since then, they became a scavenger race, gathering resources from their inactive space ships to create their domiciles, crafting wares, and so on. Since their first encounter with the Progenitors, the Mus were the first to be allowed to live on Earth with the help of the United States government under strict conditions due to their political reasons. After the first Jackrabbit was dissolved, the Mus people were able to come out of hiding, but with obvious nervousness.
A more terrifying race is the Vesp, who's anatomy resembled giant wasps that stand like Progenitors. The Vesp's bodies developed in such a way as they became immune to the effects of Venus's atmosphere and weather effects. Due to this, the Vesp became a powerful militaristic race, but just short of the level of the Progenitors. Thus, the Vesp developed space travel, and established themselves as infamous bounty hunters, who were virtually unstoppable.
On Mars, there exist a race of people who very closely resembled Progenitors in their physical biology, but bared notable differences to differentiate themselves. Progenitors conveniently call them "Little Green Men" or "Martians," but this race calls themselves "Vara'Kog." This race of Martians are the most advanced race in the Sol System in almost every field, but they are flawed politically, as they run an Empire entirely run on physical appearances. Oddly enough to Progenitors, Vara'Kog hold those of a more "ugly" demeanor to be more gifted than those that would be "attractive." Despite this, their Empire runs efficiently, and their Guild based system is famous among the nearby races.
Although there are no races living on Jupiter itself, two of Jupiter's moon's are very well inhabited. One such is the moon Io, inhabited by a cat-folk race called the Felx. They were at first a tribal race before the appearance of the ancient Roman Empire, who restructured their race into that resembling ancient Rome. Since then, to this day in the Iteration, the Felx proudly preserve the ancient Roman culture as their own culture, from their own gladiatorial coliseum to the composition of their government. Despite this, they are well known for their law enforcement system as well as their gladiator/prisoner system combination they created. As such, the term "the Hell upon Io" that was coined by the many other races holds its own as true.
The second race lives upon Ganymede, and they call themselves the Pantus, a race of humanoid elephants. The Pantus are all monastic in their culture, and rightly deserve the title as the most peaceful race in the Sol System. They are geniuses in the field of law interpenetration, and they even created many of the intergalactic laws that run the day-to-day intergalactic policing. Their world is the location where any and all meetings among the races go to in order to discuss politics in peace. The Pantus themselves try to oversee these meetings or even being the judges in intergalactic court cases over any other form of political involvement.
The Rings of Saturn have been called the "Bazaar of the Galaxy" as they are run by the mercantile race known as the Porcus. The Porcus are hairy boar people who know the inner workings of economics and banking. They have established an intergalactic currency that many other races call "Porcines" after the Porcus themselves, with the equivalency of one Porcine equaling 10 dollars in United State's currency. Despite their economic power over the other races, they are more benevolent, yet strict, on how their money is dealt, even to the point where the entire race knows exactly what is counterfeit or official.
Finally, a race of werewolf-looking people known as the Lups are the only "extraterrestrial" race in this section of the Sol System. They are mercenaries through and through, but they have their own code of conduct that they never tell to any other race. They are very strong rivals to that of the Vesp, but they- like the Vesp- are just under the Progenitors in militaristic power. They claim that their world is long gone, but they try to establish their race among the other races (though, funny enough, the Lups are highly racist to the Felx). Not much else about them is known.
Despite this epicenter of cultures, they are the only free section of the Sol System, which is ruled by a tyrannical Emperor known as Mozkiitoz. His Empire spans the rest of the Sol System, and he is the most powerful political being in the Galaxy. Although his race is almost extinct, Mozkiitoz's race only spans as far as the entirety of his family, and no further. Biologically, he is a giant humanoid insect with features resembling that of a Mosquito that resides only on Earth (save for the long probuscis, which is a telescopic "tongue" within his mouth). He had attempted to conquer the Progenitor race upon Earth by manipulating both World War 1 and World War 2, but it failed due to the might of Jackrabbit. Since then, Mozkiitoz had been observing the Progenitors at a distance, waiting for the proper moment to begin his conquering of that section of the Galaxy.
