Planet Bukai

Bukai is a large planet. It's appearance from space is mint-cyan with huge blue spots. It's appearance doesn't signify how the planet looks when you are on it, as the planet's actual appearance when you land on it just looks like Earth. The direct appearance is practically the same as Earth, but the sun is blue instead of yellow/orange, the sky's colour can vary from blue to purple, however it can appear red during some bad weather conditions. The grass is green, but slightly blue-tinted. The planet's climate is generally cold and most of it's species are made to withstand cold weather and snow. Most people who've never been to Bukai believe it's *always* snowing there, but that's not true.

## Inhabitants

Bukai's population is very diverse, and has many species and races. Most common and native to Bukai are Bukians, which can easily be mistaken for Humans despite having vague catlike qualities. Also most notably native to Bukai is Shiyas, who are basically seen as unholy, Purple Foxes, who are often royalty, and Marus, who are seen as deities. Notably, cats and dogs live on Bukai. Cats can also live up to 100 years on Bukai, unlike cats on Earth. The reason why isn't known, but some people believe it's an "aura" from the planet itself, as some from Earth have moved to Bukai with their cat(s), and noticed they seem healthier despite no changes in diet or other activities.

Despite most people's beliefs, Puffus are not native to Bukai. Despite that, Puffus make up a big amount of population on Bukai. Very few Humans live on Bukai.

## Culture

Bukai is inhabited by many different species, some originating from the planet, and a small portion that moved there from other planets.
Bukai has developed it's own culture, language, and much more. On the seventh day of June every year, Bukai has a celebration. The origins of this celebration or why it's on this specific date is left unknown. It's speculated to be a celebration of life.
Bukai's God is a large, white cat with huge, angelic wings and one single eye, who they call "Nisuko", quite literally translating to "Cat Lord". Worshiping cats and treating them as gods, royalty, or any higher being is a normal practice. Many people on Bukai adopt cats, and when somebody loses a loved one, they are given a kitten to cherish for the rest of their lives. In Bukai's religion, it's often said that those who die too early, such as infants or children, are cradled in Nisuko's wings before being gifted a new life. For other people, anyone of any age is given this opportunity from death. Many people on Bukai also worship Purple Foxes, due to Hinami. Dogs are often seen as evil for reasons lost to time, but it's theorized to be because of their appearance being slightly similar to full Shiyas. Despite dogs being quite rare on Bukai, the dogs who live on Bukai generally live in the wild and never domesticated, and most dogs in the wild are hunted to be eaten. There isn't any punishments for domesticating dogs now, however in the past you'd be taken away and enslaved, just for having a dog as a pet. You could also be killed simply for disrespecting your family, especially your siblings. Of course this isn't a practice now, but it's still discouraged to be rude to your family, even if it's a normal sibling rivalry.

## Hinami

Hinami is a well known "God" in Bukai's culture. She is a tall, beautiful young woman who is a Purple Fox. Purple foxes are similar to Green Foxes in many ways, but Purple Foxes are purple and have longer lifespans.
Hinami was a princess in Bukai thousands of years ago, she lived a normal life as a single child with her two parents. No conflicts ever occurred between the village they ruled over, and everything was peaceful, until many disappearances started happening with the population of the village. Determined to find out the reasoning behind these disappearances, Hinami set strict rules for herself to see who is responsible.
She found a culprit, a young woman about her age, named Anna. On one winter, she was acting strangely, and planting flowers in a dark forest in the dead of night. Hinami found this suspicious, took Anna to her home, and interrogated her.
She was seen suspiciously, and was ultimately kept in Hinami's home. Hinami's father, a skilled wizard, decided to use Anna to test spells he did not know about. Anna was then cursed with yellow eyes, and attacked Hinami and her father. After that, they knew something wasn't right, and she was kept in a dungeon. After many months, a celebration was planned due to the disappearances going down drastically. The morning of the celebration, Hinami disappeared and was never seen until two weeks later, where Anna was found in a "den", with a huge group of black, fluffy cat-like creatures with huge claws, called Shiyas. Anna was found there, cannibalizing on Hinami's bare, lifeless body. After being caught, there was a brand new ceremony, a ceremony to behead Anna. What people didn't know, however, was that Anna knew this would happen, and planned beforehand. What was left behind in her den were pure Shiyas, and grotesque hybrids of Shiyas and Humans. The hybrids and the pure Shiyas decided together on taking over the village for themselves as revenge. They went out and destroyed the village, and the Queen, Hinami's devastated mother, who just returned from a trip, had to flee all the way back to the village she was at before. She fleed back to the village of Aymudia, and spoke to the King and Queen, who allowed to take her in. Aymudia took action, with Marus and strong soldiers on their side, and the Shiyas fled into the forest... but the damage was still done. Hinami's heartbroken mother, losing her husband, daughter, and thousands of her beloved villagers, stayed in Aymudia, retired from her position as Queen. She learned to cope and lived a peaceful life, possibly starting a new family. Anna's children who were left behind in the abandoned village, lived well too, despite everything, and both the Shiyas and the Queen's descendants are still alive to this day.
