Asteria

## Description

Where all of our known planets reside, **Asteria** is the server's solar system. **Asteria** has about 4 planets, that being **Xalilia**, **Osiea**, **Kiania**, and **Vinolla**.

* Xalilia
* Osiea
* Kiania
* Vinolla

**Xalilia** is the most known of the following planets, as it's where everything seemingly began. It's got a decent bit of history, though it's most famously known for it's Humans. **Xalilia** was the first planet to have Humans, which, *erm*, quickly "spread" among species. This means all races have bits of Human in them, which is why they're so humanoid. Coming across **Elrine Races** is possible, but very, very rare.

### "Earth" & Seasons

**Xalilia** is similar to a planet known to Humans called **Earth**, though it's never been discovered by our current team. **Xalilia** doesn't have drastic environment, staying at survivable temperatures for the most of the time. Xalilia has four seasons, Blossomcrest, Sunhigh, Hazelreign, and Snowcall. Though, again, Humans have their own names being Spring, Summer, Fall or Autumn, and Winter.

Blossomcrest is when the temperature is transitioning from cold to warm, and when all of the nature begins to regrow. In Sunhigh, it's very hot and humid, people typically wear less clothes and armor to not overheat during this time. Hazelreign is when it starts to get colder, and all of the leaves turn red or orange, then falling off as Snowcall begins. Snowcall begins as the leaves fall off, it gets really cold, rain turns into snow and it becomes a white wonderland.

**Osiea** is what is known as an **Osonious Planet**, which in simple terms means a water planet. **Osiea** and the concept of an **Osonious Planet** were both named after the water goddess Osone. **Osiea** typically has colder temperatures, ranging from 5˚C down to -25˚C. Despite the cold temperature, the planet never actually freezes as it's always in the sunlight with no moons.

**Osiea** only has one season, Blossomcrest. As the planet is all ocean, there isn't any land for seasons to actually exist on. But it's been recorded that it has many factors of Blossomcrest in it's natural atmosphere.

### Regions

Osiea has few biomes, those being forest, ocean, and some mountainous regions. Each region houses few creatures. In all of the areas, Gepha can be found, or rather, *could* be found. In the forest region are some Fairies, Vinewhip, and few Trevine. In the ocean regions are primarily Loche, with some Merkin and Sirekin taking place at the bottom of the lake, with only Sculker in the mountain regions.

**Kiania** is the smallest planet here, though it's still times bigger than most moons. Due to it's size and noxious air, the only thing placed on the planet is a research facility known as **Glowstep Labs**.

**Kiania's** landscape is smooth and has plenty of hills, being made of red sand and stone. **Kiania**, like Osiea, only has one season which is Sunhigh. The outside temperature is always above 30˚C. The highest temperature on **Kiania** is unable to be recorded as stepping outside during said temperatures can result in instead death, especially when combined with the toxin filled airs which few races can survive.

### Glowstep Labs

**Glowstep Labs** was founded by the SAO, but is run by volunteer scientists from across the galaxy; despite most of which having no experience in science work or even being somewhat trustworthy, leading to the Pinoki situation. This *was* eventually changed. There are four divisions in said lab, the Office Division, Eco-letrical Division, Research Division, and Subject Division. These divisions all make up part of the lab, which is still being looked into.

#### Research Division

The Research Division, or the RD, are the ones who test species' and peoples' abilities in either the Environmental Chamber or the regular Testing Chamber. The Environmental Chamber can simulate different environments for the required tests. **Glowstep Labs** also has been seen to have some sort of communication with creatures from the Otherworld, as the technology required for said chamber to exist could have only come from them.

#### Eco-letrical Division

The Eco-letrical Division, or the ELD, not only run the Environmental Chamber, but the whole facility. They are tasked with running the technological factors of **Glowstep Labs**.

#### Office Division

The Office Division, or the OD, are not as boring as they sound. The OD run the Office section of the facility, which is where the chemicals and other non-race related items are, as **Glowstep Labs** prioritizes in finding and testing species. Connected to the Office area is also the Containment Zone, where creatures are put when not required. So essentially, the OD deal with chemicals and guarding the contained creatures from escaping.

There's still some debate between the SAO whether the Containment Zone is inhumane, but regardless of whether it is, creatures there are too dangerous to move at the current point in time.

#### Subject Division

The Subject Division, or the SD, are creatures who've been deemed safe or have agreed to work peacefully with the scientists, despite any morbid tests that may be done on them. These creatures are usually completely docile, mostly consisting of Kinfolk. The SD is known by everyone at **Glowstep Labs** as the 'D-Class', as they're said to be below everyone else. Essentially, the SD are companions or helpers to the scientists.
