K'one Head

A traffic cone

The K'one Heads are a group of religious zealots native to planet K'onia. They are famous for wearing headgear identical to a bland-reality traffic cone (called a K'one, hence their name) which covers their entire head and cloaks.

## K'ones

K'ones used to be made out of a material similar to a one-way mirror. This allowed them to see with their K'ones on. They were later changed to have microscopic cameras all over them and made out of an opaque material. This represents their blind faith in their religion. They are very advanced in biology, so much so that most members live four times their normal lifespan, through the use of biological enhancements as well as prosthetics. Most K'one Heads do not speak languages other than their native one and can communicate mentally via chips inserted in their brains, which they do most of the time. Some can speak other languages, but communicate to to other K'one Heads via the chips, however they may speak verbally to each other if they are attempting to intimidate someone.

## Hierarchy

### Civilians

Civilians wear dull brown K'ones and very drab cloaks. These cloaks have decorative hoods. They also have sleeves and connect down the middle.

### Police

The K'one Head police remain on K'onia at all times. They are tasked with dealing with local problems as opposed to interplanetary ones.

#### Standard Police

These K'one Heads wear turquoise K'ones and navy blue cloaks. They are equipped with small K'one Guns. They are used for civil issues, known as "disturbances of the peace," which include animal attacks, malfunction of recreational technology, and injury of K'one Heads. Despite being called the Standard Police by most non-K'one Heads, they are actually called the Ka'lah'nak. Their cloaks do not have hoods and separate in the center, being closer to capes with sleeves. This style of cloak is known as a Jan'lkia.

#### Riot Guards

Riot Guards wear navy blue K'ones and black Jan'lkia. They are equipped with standard size K'one Guns, usually with extended magazines. These are usually deployed for larger-scale animal attacks. Their actual name is Kar'nhah'nak. Their K'ones have a white line on them on the center that extends around about half its circumference.

### Science

#### Scientists

Scientists of all studies wear white K'ones and cloaks of varying color from study to study. Most K'one scientists design technology. They are actually called the K'lar.

#### Engineers

Engineers wear gray K'ones and black cloaks. They usually build things. They are known as K'ar'ak.

### Military

#### Low Rank

Low-ranking K'one Soldiers wear yellow K'ones and black Jan'lkia lined with impact, pierce, and flame-resistant material. Their real name is the Lar'K'one'garak. They are organized into squads named Jir'ajak, consisting of about 100 members.

#### Generals

K'one Generals wear orange K'ones and Jan'lkia more or less identical to those worn by low-ranking officials, however they usually have one or two medals, as this is how one is promoted to General. They are known as the K'one'garak. They are the leaders of Jir'ajak. These squads are further grouped into Jia'hajarak, consisting of 10 Jir'ajak.

#### Admirals

K'one Admirals wear orange K'ones, similarly to Generals, but they are darker and slightly taller. They also have pauldrons with the K'onius symbol on them. These pauldrons are much more resistant than their Jan'lkia. Admirals usually use smaller weapons, and usually attach bayonets to them.

#### Eyes of K'onius

The Eyes of K'onius are a spec ops team used by the K'one Military only on dire occasions. When they are not fighting, they are training to become better. They wear black Jan'lkia lined with stronger protective material than Generals or Admirals, as they are much stronger than the average military official. They wear black K'ones. They are divided into groups of 30 named Njhak'lian. Their real name is Ja'han K'iar K'onius.

#### Overseers of K'onius

Overseers of K'onius are the leaders of Njhak'lian. They look almost identical to EoK's, but they have shoulder pauldrons with the Eyes of K'onius symbol on them. They tend to stay in the vehicle or at base, being leaders instead of fighters. When needed, they will fight or partake in assassination attempts.

#### Wrath of K'onius

Even rarer than the Eyes of K'onius are the Wrath of K'onius, who are biologically engineered to be insanely strong, fast, and intelligent. This is so they can protect the K'ing with the utmost potency. They are given only the strongest K'one Guns. They wear silver K'ones. Their cloaks do not have sleeves or hoods, being closer to capes. They also have silver-colored plate armor on their bodies, which is incredibly resistant to virtually all forms of damage. They usually guard the K'ing's temple, and will protect it from any unrecognized individuals with lethal force. Their real name is K'ahr'ak K'iar K'onius.

#### Praetorian Guard

The Praetorian Guard, or Jirak'hinal Rinnak'ja, are the personal guards of the K'ing. At least four are constantly in his presence, and they are modified to be even stronger than the Wrath of K'onius. They have deep crimson K'ones and armor, as well as capes of the same color. The pauldrons of their armor are somewhat larger, and have the Praetorian Guard insignia on them. They wield weapons known as Jirak'hinal Jnar'hkjak. These weapons are long pole arms with K'onesaber blades and a small K'one Gun built into them. The K'one Gun does not belong to any particular model, but rather is exclusive to these weapons.

### Religious Leaders

#### K'lerics

K'lerics wear deep maroon K'ones and somewhat regal cloaks with feather-like protrusions on the shoulders. They are present when a recruit is entered into the military, praying to K'onius to give them luck in their battles. They have roughly the same social status as Generals. They are actually called K'ar'jahk.

#### K'one Priests

The three K'one Priests wear bright red K'ones, majestic cloaks, and are appointed by the K'ing. The three priests control one aspect of K'one society: Military, Religion, and Recruitment. The K'ing can overrule them if he wishes, making K'one society still something of an absolute monarchy, but they are appointed to give the K'ing less work. They are also usually bodyguarded by Eyes of K'onius. They are known as K'onius'jiar.

#### The K'ing

The K'ing is the ruler of K'onia and usually very involved in military campaigns. The current K'ing wears a fairly mundane cloak to battle so that his official one doesn't get ruined. He also has a golden K'one. The current K'ing's name is Shag'hah Ar'noc. His actual title is K'onius'jar'kahn.

## Religion

The religion of K'one Heads is called K'onology, as stated before, and it is a monotheistic religion which worships K'onius the K'one God. K'onius is depicted as having a conical shape, with tentacles emerging from the bottom, with eyes covering the entirety of his body. The K'ing is believed to be a prophet of K'onius, and, as such, the K'ing's orders come directly from K'onius. This religion also has three laws that the K'one Heads must follow. K'onology states that prosthetics are to be earned in battle, and not simply given out.

1. K'one Heads cannot remove their K'ones. They are given IV packs within their cloaks that feed them nutrients, meaning they do not need to eat, thus eliminating any need to remove their K'ones. Attempting to coerce a K'one Head to take off their K'one or attempting to remove it yourself is seen as a great insult and will get you maimed or killed.
2. If K'one Heads learn language other than K'one, it is strictly forbidden to speak said language verbally on sacred ground. This is usually churches or areas where particularly good things have happened.
3. K'onesabers are to be protected with one's life. This is why K'onesabers are usually made of very durable materials.
4. Killing another K'one Head is strictly forbidden unless they have fallen to heresy.

## Weaponry

K'one Head soldiers use K'onesabers as weapons. The color of a K'onesaber corresponds with the K'one of the K'one Head using it. K'onesabers are often held in small holsters strapped to the forearm of the K'one Head for easy access and unexpected drawing. They also use K'one Guns as primary weapons. K'one Guns utilize supermatter hyperchargers to fire a bolt of whatever matter is inside a capsule loaded into a chamber at incredibly high speed and density.

## Language

The official language of the K'one Heads, though many higher-ranking officials also speak English, is K'onian, a sort of conglomeration of the K'one language and K'orral'gan, two extinct languages from K'one Head history. While it is possible to reproduce by a non-K'one Head, it is incredibly difficult and will not be exactly faithful.

### Alphabet

The K'onian alphabet has 32 letters, some corresponding with syllables and others with individual sounds. The letters are as follows:

1. Sa
2. Ak
3. Ar
4. At
5. Ah
6. As

## History

The K'one Heads have existed for millennia, the span of which can be divided into four periods: The Ancient Times, The Rise of K'onius, The Not-So Ancient Times, and The Modern Times. These can be further divided into eras.

### The Ancient Times

#### The Era of Emergence

This era is marked by the formation of the K'one Heads. At first, the only species that could become a K'one Head was a K'onian, which resembled humans but with a mouth resembling that of an insect and an exposed brain. These K'one Heads were not very advanced, but used a material known as K'onite, which is a malleable substance similar to a one-way mirror when heated in a specific way, to make their K'ones. They were not originally religious, they were simply a warrior tribe. Their K'ones represented anonymity between them. They were not nearly as well-versed in biology as they are now, so most K'one Heads lived relatively short lifespans.

#### The Era of Extinction

During this period, most K'one Heads had died due to a sudden invasion by a different tribe, known as the R'ag'nhak, K'onian for "warriors." However, a certain few K'one Heads survived and hid in a cave, planning their return.

### The Rise of K'onius

#### The Era of Retribution

During this era, the surviving K'one Heads had managed to recruit members from another sapient species on K'onia, the K'orral. These resembled a form of humanoid bird with short beaks for eating large fruit. Cross-breeding resulted in the creation of the K'one species, which was essentially a K'orral but without feathers and having the insectoid mouth. The K'one species was regarded as holy, and is still favored by the K'one Heads, being the only sapient species left on K'onia due to evolving for combat over time.

#### The Era of Enlightenment

This era started when a K'one Head that was well-respected introduced the idea that there was some sort of grand creator to all things. The rest of the K'one Heads could not disprove this, and most agreed to this. Following this event, a crude version of K'onology was instated. The only law of the religion was to never take off your K'one. Statues were erected with small bowls in front of them, allowing blood to be poured into the bowl as an offering. The K'one Head who had the idea was crowned the K'onius'jar'kahn and promptly wrote a book describing the laws of K'onology. This book is still in perfect condition.

#### The Era of Revolution

During this era, technological advancements hit an all-time high as K'ones (the word for members of the K'one species) evolved to be faster, smarter, and stronger. K'one Heads of exceptional intelligence were assigned to developing technology, leading to a boost in efficiency. New weapons were created, and rudimentary prosthetics were made. K'lerics also became a thing.

### The Not-So-Ancient Times

#### The Era of War

During this era, the K'one Heads ambushed the R'ag'nhak, just as they had done so long ago, and managed to seize a lot of their technology, which they then built upon, giving them a slight boost in technological advancements. The R'ag'nhak surrendered, and the K'one Heads forced them to convert to K'onology and thus join them. They also sought out numerous other tribes, gaining more members as they did so. As the K'one Heads experimented with old R'ag'nhak technology and their own, they created a sort of predecessor to the K'onesaber, which was essentially a flamethrower used as a melee weapon. They also created the first firearm on K'onia. Using these weapons, they managed to conquer all of K'onia.

#### The Era of Pacifism

When the old K'ing died, his heir rose to the throne and established the K'ouncil (3238th millennium), which consisted of four members. They all decided on what happened. The tribes the K'one Heads had annexed were freed, one such tribe retreating to another planet, and another was taken off-world by the M'ha'oth for an unknown reason, causing lots of anger in the K'one Head society, furthering their distrust that already existed due to the heir being a K'orral. To add to this, the entire K'one Military was ordered to begin engineering work, allowing things to be built faster, but at the cost of readily-available defense. Suddenly, another species landed on K'onia with highly advanced technology. It is not documented what they looked like. They claimed to wish to help out the K'one Heads with more advanced tech. The K'ouncil accepted, boosting their advancements significantly.

#### The Era of Expurgation

Eventually, the K'one Heads were fed up with the K'ouncil and decided to overthrow them, the lead insurgent being the one and only Shag'hah Ar'noc. He assassinated the K'ouncil (32411) and organized a strike force to steal as much technology from the other race as they could, which would later become the Eyes of K'onius. The K'one Heads then went to war with all the other tribes at once, with their new advanced technology. This war lasted several years, but the K'one Heads won. (32433)

### The Modern Times

During the Modern Times, the K'one Heads enjoyed their secrecy. They began to don cloaks, as well as perfect their technology. This tech is what allowed Shag'hah to survive the injuries he sustained in his military campaigns. Formerly, medicine was made to help regenerate or heal limbs, but prosthetics were brought back into practice, as they improved the K'one Head who recieved them. According to current records, 63.57% of Shag'hah's body is prosthetic. Recently, The K'one Heads went to the planet that was occupied by the squad. (32467) They recruited a number of ***EE***pole and left.

## Notable Members

* Shag'hah Ar'noc
	+ Shag'hah is the K'ing, and as such has complete control of what goes on in K'one society. His lower torso, upper legs, forearms, toes, and hands are robotic. These areas have several improvements built into them, such as superlight boosters along Shag'hah's back. These allow him to briefly travel at speeds roughly 30 times the speed of light, as well as making him intangible throughout the entire boost so that he is not ripped apart by the molecules in the air.
* Jor'can Ji-han, Kor'jus Dar'nak, and Sarn'ak Lo'kal
	+ These are the current K'one Priests, who are in charge of a) religious events, b) military engagements, and c) recruitment. Shag'hah, of course, can overrule them, but he lets them deal with such matters so he doesn't have to. Each K'one Priest is the minister of one of the categories listed.
		- Jor'can: Religion
		- Kor'jus: Military
		- Sarn'ak: Recruitment
	+ Sarn'ak did, in fact, send several K'one heads to the squad's planet.

## Technology

K'one Head technology is far superior to any species in Galaxy α̴̛̣̣̉͜͡¦̛̣t̉̉ɔ҈̴҈҉̴҈̵̵̷͠҉̶̶̨҈. Due to this, this section will be divided into categories.

### Civilian

Civilians are not given much priority when it comes to technology, but what they can access significantly helps their daily lives

#### Fog Clearer

Civilians are given fans that blow air in a triangular shape so as to blow fog out of the way more efficiently. This may not be very impressive, but as stated before, civilian technology is given extremely low priority.

#### Electric Baton

This is a self-defense weapon which is activated via a button. When activated, the end of it will create an electric charge strong enough to subdue most attackers.

### Recreational

Recreational technology, by K'one Head definition, is technology used by pretty much everyone. These technologies are usually placed in fixed locations.

#### Detector

This is essentially a radar that can find objects at varying ranges and altitudes. Civilians usually use these to locate other K'one Heads or animals approaching them.

The K'one Military uses a wide variety of weapons and vehicles, which are updated incredibly often.
