Ringmaster

Ringmaster is fascinating to look at because of its remarkable ring system; if a spacecraft were to land on this planet and its astronaut were to look up from the sky, the rings would always be visible. The planet also revolves around a double binary star, so when the pair of stars rise in the sky during the day, you would see two shadows.
==History==
===Ignis Eon===
Ringmaster formed around 3.57 billion years ago. It started as a proto-planet that gradually grew bigger over time in a protoplanetary disk surrounding a young binary star. This is the Ignis Eon, where many protoplanets formed, but eventually all of them collided with Ringmaster. By the largest collision, a body larger than Mars collided with Ringmaster, creating an odd obliquity of 102°. It is also the formation of two moons, named RSC 0-3-114-772-4998-3-424-0 A1.0, RSC 0-3-114-772-4998-3-424-0 A1.1, and RSC 0-3-114-772-4998-3-424-0 A1.2, these moons have a unstable orbits before all of it got into an orbital resonance. After its formation, comets came and crashed on the surface of Ringmaster; this formed the oceans, but there was less liquid water than there is now. The terrain is almost static, and the only driving force for renewing the terrain is erosion, weathering, and cratering. That is because Ringmaster is a stagnant lid planet, meaning it has one solid crust floating under the mantle instead of pieces of crust that move over geological time scales.
=== Avgiean Eon===
Ringmaster and its moons experienced cratering from asteriods and comets collisions by the arrival of Avgiean Eon. An K-type star with seven planets was gravitationally captured, which is what produced it (not including dwarf planets). This new neighbor created havoc, it lasted for millions of years until the impact rate decreased and then ceased. Moreover, additional liquid water was filled as a result of this catastrophe, producing the present oceans we know today.
====Vesperaean Era ====
Dwarf, irregular moons captured by Ringmaster or by wandering asteroids have left enormous impact craters on the planet. While the majority of them have relatively stable orbits for a while until gravitationally interacting with the big moons of Ringmaster before crashing down to the surface, the minority of them are close to rouge asteroids that are headed straight for the planet. When an impact crater is large enough, the crater once in a while causes volcanism, forming a sizable lava lake inside the crater, and some impact craters modify Ringmaster's atmospheric composition, like the largest crater in Ringmaster, the Ingentis crater.
==Climate==
The climate of Ringmaster is too inhospitable for any multicellular or unicellular life, not because the atmosphere contains too much carbon dioxide but because the axial tilt is too high, higher than Uranus. This causes the seasons to be more distinguishable than ever, with the summer being a desolate wasteland and the winter being frigid cold. This abnormal axial tilt makes the equator more colder than the poles. Despite this, there is liquid water on the surface, with the largest body of liquid being Maximus Oceanus.
===Weather Disasters===
In the spring and fall, when the climate is much more moderate, tropical cyclones begin to form. Tropical cyclones usually drift eastward and are short-lived when they simply dissapate, migrate into high latitudes and transition into extratropical cyclones, or merge into other tropical cyclones, In some rare circumstances the storms form into hurricanes when they get big enough. In the summer, Ringmaster experiences drought and flooding on the summer side, with the clouds being subjected to little to no rain on arid lands even if thunderstorms formed, the ground absorbs rainwater considerably more slowly causing intense flooding, in the winter, weak snowstorms to severe blizzards forms near the summer side, these snowstorms have a lifespan about 3 hours to 3 days depending on the conditions.
=== Water cycle ===
Despite having an uninhabitable environment, Ringmaster possesses a complex water cycle much like Earth's. The water on the ocean evaporates into water vapor in the planet's atmosphere, condenses to create clouds, and then precipitates back as rain, into the ocean where the cycle repeats, but if its rain on land there are many different ways that could happend; the water is absorbed by the ground and becomes groundwater where it slowly goes downstream until it meets the ocean, when water gets to the top of the surface, it becomes runoff and travels though via rivers, lakes, and then back to the ocean, the water freezes and becomes part of the icecapped mountain but eventually the ice melts during the extreme summer months when it turns into water vapor, groundwater or runoff.
