Tulips

=Members=
Tulips are a vast number of creatures that look to be part hedgehog and part human. Male Tulips are often tall when you compare them to hedgehogs, standing at 1.4 meters while hedgehogs often stand at 1.3. They often have short human-like hair with mussels, ears and hedgehog-like eyes. While they look hedgehog, they aren't as they are often more powerful beings (they are often born with strong muscle power and speed).
Female Tulips have little difference expect in their forms as they are usually much shorter than males and weaker than them. The females have breast and more curves than males (which is a similarity in humans). And while most females generally tend to be weaker, they shine on their magical properties as they can adapt and control magic far easier than a male. 
=Politics=
While Tulips have been known to go to wars with other species, they are a relatively peaceful society with an extremely diplomatic monarchy, the line of the Falinas. The royal family is diplomatic and wants everyone's opinion on something wether it be to change something or let people know what the Falinas have in mind. Over the last 2000 years, they have retained a peace between other creatures known as Shadow People (who are a brave and warlike civilization). 
They would rather discuss the problem rather than fight it out like brutes as most Tulips hate violence and are intolerant of it. The system they run is similar to that of socialism (more specifically, Yugoslavian socialism which is different than Soviet Socialism). However, if another country threatens to concur their land of Privias, they will not cower and will fight for their country. 
 
=Religion=
The Tulips believe in a religion mostly called "Chain of Goddesses and Gods" (or CGG). Similar to Greek Mythology, the religion circles around Gods that control elements and create emotions. While the religion has no particular name, it is often called "The Chain" or "The Pure Ones" as the chain of gods are divided into two groups: 
1. Light Gods
2. Dark Gods
==Light Gods==
The First of the gods were two siblings known as Gon and Yancalana. The Light Gods are gods who created Positive Emotions and all that is peaceful in the world.
 
-Yancalana, the Goddess of Love and Light, is the main Goddess of the Light Gods and she is the mother and guardian of Lara the Tulip and Despair the Darkness. Yancalana is extremely wise and has knowledge of deep human emotions like love as she is the creator of said emotion. Yancalana is kind and has a very positive outlook on any creatures and always tries to see hope and the good in one.
-Ginsing, the Goddess of Pride and Earth, is the Gaia of the worlds as she created the basic life supports a planet needs and she created the Planet Eggs of every planet known to have one. Ginsing is prideful and brave and courageous and sometimes can loose her temper, but she means well and has a big heart, she is overconfident occasionally and will put the blame on an innocent if she thinks them to be the suspect. Ginsing is the younger sibling of Yancalana.
-Athos, the God of Joy and Weather, is a reckless but caring son of Ginsing who controls the weather. Though he doesn't use his powers often, and instead lets the weather take a mind of it's own (as it is like a pet that he created for himself to care for to prove to his mother he could do things). Athos has the mindset of a young boy at the age of 10 and has been observed to be rather stubborn. Athos ended up creating the emotion of joy and happiness and gave creatures happiness in their early days. However, since Athos' disappearance, the Light Goddesses could only wait for their young and cheerful god.
-Halisiana, the Goddess of Hope and Liquids, is a Goddess who is older than Athos and has the mindset of a young teenager. She is the Goddess of hope and wisdom as she is very wise and many say she has the knowledge of every creature and every soul and every mind, no matter who they are. Halisiana, while she has the mindset of a teenager, she behaves rather grown up and does as her superiors tell her (especially her mother Ginsing). Halisiana has a huge respect for Sonic the Hedgehog and while she had never entirely met him, she has a strange fascination for him as he reminds her of her brother Athos (who SPOILERS! is reincarnated into Sonic). Halisiana is also called Sundara as she enjoys her aunts light very much. 
==Dark Gods==
Containing four more members of the chain are Gods who created negative emotions and all that is warlike and evil in the world.
-Gon, leader of the Dark Gods, he is the skillful and powerful God who created Hatred and Darkness. Despite hating his sister Yancalana, he is forced into a peace after his defeat by her and her sister Ginsing. Gon is a powerful and cruel adversary who is nonchalant and acts silent but when the time comes, he can speak the most evil of things. Created hatred, after Yancalana defeated him, because of his growing hatred for her. Gon is a god of few words but big swords.
-Nani, Gon's daughter and second in command is the Goddess of Lust and Destruction. Secretly envious and in love with Ginsing, she tried to get Ginsing's attention, only to fail and try to start another way, by destroying the land Ginsing creates. Nani has created several natural disasters and biohazards which have hurt people in the past. Ginsing made a deal with Nani to secretly marry her if she would cease the destruction as she could not rebuild as fast as Nani could destroy. Nani agreed and the two Goddesses kept their marriage a secret.
-Lisious, the God of Betrayal and Trickery is a mischievous lies and manipulation as he can warp reality into his own will. However, he is a rather calm individual and won't go seeking wars. Instead, he will strategize and plan for a battle. He doesn't have much combat training so Ginsing could easily knock him off his feet. Lisious is very similar to personality, powers and abilities as Loki (from Marvel comics). 
-Kerogec, the God of Rage and Fire is the most fiercest of warriors and deadliest if angered. Kerogec, (nicknamed Kero) is a god with so much rage he has to occasionally let it out on his demon servants and creatures. Kero absolutely hates the given nickname and will attempt to kill anyone who calls him so. Kero will march onto battle for no reason whatsoever and likes to particularly toy with Knuckles' emotions with rage (though it is Knuckles' rage, Kero still loves to watch). 
==Spirits==
Spirits are creatures who were chosen as champions to battle against each other for either Gon or Yancalana as a tradition. 
(If you have an idea for a Spirit, let me know please and I might add you character! ;))
-Sayvia is the champion of Yancalana and a warrior who Yancalana sees as her daughter. Sayvia was an early Tulip with amazing magical powers that Yancalana gave Sayvia the abilities of a creature called a Spirit. Chosen to fight in battle between Gon's champion, Devalis, she falls in love with him as soon as their eyes connect and after every battle, the two meet up to speak and talk. Sayvia is kind, gentle and sweet to everyone. She is often seen with a large blue sword (Gaiga) that was used to kill many demons as depicted in frescos and paintings of her.
Sayvia dies when Gon finds out about the relationship between her and Devalis and kills both of them for it. Sayvia later becomes a spirit friend to Lara and even a part of Lara's destiny. 
-Devalis is the champion of Gon and is a brute warrior of fear and death. Before meeting Sayvia, he was a cruel and demented and vicious Hedgehog who had no mercy. However, after his battle with Sayvia, he realizes that he had fallen in love with someone for the first time in his life. Throughout his secret meetings with Sayvia, he becomes rather shy and lost at times as he is often oblivious to her antics. His quiet and shy side is often mostly described as cute and sweet as he tries to be kind to Sayvia. In his paintings, he is often seen dying with Sayvia or even battling her.
Devalis dies when Gon finds out about Sayvia's relationship with him and kills both of them. Devalis later reincarnates himself into Shadow the Hedgehog and becomes a sort of voice in Shadow's head. 
=Habitat=
Tulips live in houses, apartments, mansions, castles that are very similar to the Victorian timeline in England throughout the 19th century.
Places are often well kept and those near a town get guards and an inspector every month to check up on the condition of said house and if it's in need of repairs. 
The people of Privias live a peaceful life and have built magnificent cities, monuments and amazing structures in the past 2000 years of peace. 
=Clothes and Styles=
The most common style you can find in Privias is late Victorian style. However, there willbe those that wear clothes similar to Kimonos and ancient Japanese clothing. Many other styles mainly include English styles to late 19th century French inspired styles. 
=History=
The history of Privias is rather long and spit into multiple periods. Dynasties have changed and so has the way of the very lives of Tulips throughout the years.
(Be warned that since this section plans to be very long, I won't be able to do it in one go so please don't hate. I will just establish the Periods and let my upcoming fanfictions reveal the facts throughout the chapters. I'll edit the history when it's mentioned in a story).
