"Living on an ancient planet, the Gelyerns are a mysterious, hidden race skilled in the use of strange tools and arts."
— **Meteos Wars Planet Description**

### Size

120cm (~3ft, 11in)

Gelyer is a planet found only in Meteos Wars.

## Planetary Data

Gelyer is a rather smaller planet, estimated to be about 3,000 kilometers from tip to tip. It is shaped like a large four-point star, some might say it looks like a four-point hira-shuriken. The planet is described as very old, and despite the age, it remains habitable.

### *Inhabitants*

The Gelyerns are a sparsely populated race of purple humanoids, measuring at about 120 centimeters in height on average. They possess a single eye, as per usual amongst the local planets, although interestingly shaped the same way as their planet: a four-point star with a hole within it. The Gelyerns are a mysterious race, as they have preferred to keep their traditions to themselves. What is known is that they are mutually trained in the use of unknown weapons and martial arts.

Gelyer made its first and only appearance in Meteos Wars, as Downloadable Content. To use it, the player had to purchase the Galaxy Pack, where it would be subsequently unlocked.

Gelyer features equal frequencies of Fire, H20, Soil and Dark Meteos. Gelyer has a difficult set of physics to work with, featuring high gravity and launch power, to the point where the stacks appear af if they were jumping up and down, moving faster than any other stacks (barring Hevendor and Gravitas, who both have instantaneous ignitions, with Gravitas having said ignitions on the second). Ignitions also quickly scale in power, to the point that a 8-column wide stack can be gotten off screen on its fourth launch (from the beginning). With this, provided the player can keep up, they can send large amounts of Burnt Meteos to their opponent, and quickly charge their Planet Impact, Armageddon, to fill their opponents screen at an very fast pace. With this, Gelyer is best suited for expert players, due to the troublesome gravity, and fast play being almost a necessity due to how quickly Burnt Meteos on this planet revert to their matchable forms.

## Trivia

* In the Meteos Wars files, Gelyer is internally referred to as **Negoro**. It's very likely that this was an early name for the planet.
	+ This name possibly refers to Negoro-ji, a complex of Buddhist temples located in Wakayama, Japan, and the Negoro-shuu, an order of warrior monks famous for their skill with firearms.

## General

Gelyer is an ancient planet discovered during the Meteo Wars. Going unnoticed for the majority of the time of the Meteo Wars, and existing only through rumors during the Meteo Attack, the planet orbits (comparatively) near Ranbarumba, who knew of its presence and informed the Archive of it after the Meteo Wars were finished.

Taking the appearance of a hira shuriken, the planet is mostly composed of a dense metal capable of resisting the forces of gravity on Gelyer. Four "waterfalls" run from the core of the planet outward, with the liquid running from them being visible from space, glowing brightly. The planet itself is incredibly cold, with most of it being covered in desolate landscapes devoid of most plantlife, though ruins of a civilization long past are frequent in some locations. Dry riverbeds are also common, obviously once housing life. Days are incredibly short on Gelyer (lasting about 1/8th of a Geolyte day), whereas nights are far longer (eight times than a night on Geolyte). The deep blue atmosphere of the ancient planet is uncomfortably cold, requiring some form of protection over extended stays in order to survive.

Landing on Gelyer is, so long as you aren't within visible vicinity of any of the few Gelyern communities, quite easy. So long as you account for the pull of gravity, there aren't any major factors in landing that will make things difficult. Be warned, however; Gelyer is mostly devoid of life in most areas, save for small insects and deeply unappetizing fungi. There are no easily accessed sources of liquid except at the four "waterfalls," though drinking it is not recommended; not only is it deeply polluted, but Gelyerns frequently visit these waterfalls to collect this liquid, and it is in the interest of your safety that we advise you not to be spotted by them.

## Natives

From outward appearances, Gelyerns maintain a typical physique. Being Geolyte-like in build, they stand bipedal, wearing a deep purple suit composed of a smooth, near friction-less material. The suit covers their entire body, with a slight collar following the hood, a separate garment that nonetheless serves the same purpose; to conceal the body almost entirely, with a slight hole in the front as to allow exposure of the eye. The eye is covered by a shruiken made of a strange material with an appearance similar to that of gold, but with slight chemical differences that make the metal very poisonous to some species, not including the Gelyer. The item doubles as a special gadget, significantly enhancing their eyesight over long ranges, and allowing them to see in incredibly dark conditions. Moreover, the suit is also a complex piece of technology; not only does it make little noise and have almost no drag from the surrounding air, but is also insulated, allowing Gelyerns to survive in freezing conditions wearing nothing but the suit and hood. However, the garment is very breathable, so as to prevent them from overheating from combat or their aerobic abilities. The suit also effectively hides the identity of the Gelyern; it is nearly impossible to deduce even the gender of a Gelyern while they are wholly equipped with the suit, with the suit being properly padded as to create an ambiguous figure. While the hood is a separate garment that they never take off except in private, the suit can be quietly unzipped and untied. Typically, each Gelyern has two suits; one as casual wear, typically with personal touches such as patches and designs, to a more traditional suit that is the simplistic purple associated so deeply with the Gelyer.

Under the suit, however, the Gelyerns carry a deceptively weak appearance. Their naked flesh is a light violet, and they appear quite scrawny, ribs visible through their torsos. Gelyerns have thin bones which, despite their origins, are actually well suited to their planet, being resistant to the intense pull of gravity, similar to that of a Bavoomian. They have thin arms and legs that nevertheless sport some definite muscle, as well, suited for jumping. Their feet, with three toes each, are talon-like, ideal for gripping thin objects and stopping quickly. Their hands are also claw-like, again being a bit bony and thin. And while nobody has ever seen a Gelyern without their hood (even getting information on their bodies underneath their suits was difficult; the Gelyer have a sworn cultural oath that they are not to be seen without the suit except for very specific occasions,) inspection reveals that they do have earholes.

Gelyern culture encourages secrecy, with little about their life on the planet known. Travelers are usually driven out by the Gelyer, with those that refuse to leave never to be heard from again. Those that do leave the planet usually walk away with only a small portion of Gelyern culture, or are sworn to secrecy. Gelyerns themselves are very rarely, if ever, seen off planet, save for the two currently taking the role of Dejehrian members, more on that later. Usually, Gelyerns are completely silent, very rarely speaking to outsiders. Very few have ever spoken with by the Archive, and as such is it difficult to determine ever their general attitudes towards other races in the sector.

Gelyers live in centralized societies spread across their planet, all in unknown locations. Their architecture, from what little has been seen and proven to exist, is very intricate, incorporating lots of curves and plates into their designs. They use a unique currency that is not presently exchangeable for any type of Meteo Ore; even its exact value is unknown. And while they have proven to be wholly capable of learning the languages of other races, they prefer to speak in their native tongue. The Gelyer refuse to use most outside technologies, forging their own ships, weapons and tools out of a strange alloy composed of wood and a mysterious material known as "nebulite," which is both durable and lightweight.

## Relationships

Aside from the xenophobic behavior, Gelyer carries no strong relationships with any outside planet. Similar to Darthvega, all of their contributions are by proxy alone, and even those are slim.

The two most well-known Gelyerns currently serve the Dejehrians, being some of the most highly wanted criminals in the sector. While how they got involved is currently unknown, they are never found performing any high-publicity job, instead functioning as assassins-for-hire. Due to the nature of both races, further information on the two may never be known.

A handful of Gelyern weapons and tools are currently being studied, but little progress has been made on their purpose (aside from the more obvious functions; a sickle with an upside-down head is obviously a weapon.)

> `The Gelyerns are one of the oldest races in the known galaxy, with their planet having been measured to be around eight to nine billion years old, impressive for a small and strangely-shaped planet. Shaped like a somewhat flat four-pointed star, the planet boasts a small but still thriving ecosystem, even after billions of years. However, it is noted that the ecosystem has remained largely the same after some large number of years by the Gelyerns themselves. Due to age, the size of this entire system has shrunk, becoming a miniature version of itself, isolated in the still-habitable locations on the planet. This has affected the population of the Gelyerns themselves, as of the previous census, approximately only eight hundred of them are left. As a result, similarly to the Starriings, it is rather rare to find a Gelyern off-planet.`

> `Gelyer society appears to be kept in place by a council of an unknown amount of elder Gelyerns. The natives of the planet, similarly to the planet itself, live for a very long time. This has led to reduced repopulation by their own hands, although plans are being put in motion to help counteract the declining population. Regardless, society appears to be built upon ancient traditions among the native kind, and only shared in limitation with outside races. In fact, most of their culture is barely shared with aliens, so what is known is thought to only scratch the surface of their history and culture.`

> `What is known is that they have developed many variants of their own martial arts, so families on Gelyer may fight almost entirely differently compared to another. Fighting techniques, weapons used, and tactics used are all different amongst the ancient families, and only a few have allowed their knowledge to be passed on to other races. Records and other written materials are kept on scrolls made of a material only found among plant life on Gelyer. With permission from the Gelyer populace, samples have been taken for study and cultivation on other planets, being analyzed to not be an invasive species. The few known weapons are generally made from either Gelyer wood, an unknown metallic alloy, or a combination of the two.`

> `One commonly observed tactic amongst the styles of combat used seems to be an emphasis on the element of surprise and avoiding hits. The few styles taught require great agility and control over one's body. As such, only some races in the local sector are capable of learning from these ancient warriors.`

>
> `A notable facet of Gelyern culture seems to be observation of other civilizations. Whether it was simply watching a race progress or keeping track of a major interspatial conflict, the Gelyern scholars would observe with telescopic devices and keep track on scrolls in their unique markings. Few scrolls have been procured and studied, revealing galactic history that had been lost to civilizations no longer in existence, such as those destroyed by the Darthvegans.`
