Claboria

Claboria is one of the planets within the dimension of Aloidia. Created by the Goddess of Space, Andromeda, life was placed on the planet by the God of Life, Crescent. It is a reasonably young planet, being 5 billion years old. Life was formed here approximately 4.5 billion years ago.

Claboria is a spherical planet whose surface is covered by roughly three quarters land and one quarter ocean. The majority of the water on Claboria lays at the equator which is averagely 37°C at day and 26°C at night. The 2,000km wide ocean separates two super-continents; Fasture, the northern continent and Ayoutis, the southern continent. The ocean is almost entirely covered in algae which produces constant jet streams, creating strange winds, increasing oxygen production and making travelling by air or sea between continents almost impossible. A tectonic plate lies under each super-continent and under the stretch of water. Claboria's northern pole is called Goust and its southern pole is called Fyyre. Both poles are volcanic and lie above magma vents, with seven small tectonic plates under each. Because the poles are actively volcanic, no one lives close to them.

## Flora

Perennial Bitterweed is a plant that lives at Claboria's poles. It lives off lava where most plants live off water. Perennial Bitterweed flowers spread their pollen through streams of lava and the seeds grow in hardened magma. It grows by sprouting shoots out of the hardened magma and when it reaches the top, its previous shoots become roots.

## Fauna

### Heliofaws:

There is a race of creatures known as heliofaws. They are green in colour and are animals that can photosynthesise. There are many variations of heliofaws, such as immane mittam heliofaws, the very large ones, the **draconic** ones, known as draconic heliofaws, emininzi heliofaws which have many legs and more! There is very little evidence found of the draconic heliofaws and many are sceptical of their existence being anything more than a hoax.

#### Draconic heliofaws:

These heliofaws live near Goust and Fyyre. They have evolved a special sac that allows them to swallow and store magma until they choose to regurgitate it in a parody of breathing fire. They can live for up to 5,000 years. They reach maturity at age 500 and breed once every 100 years. Every 3,000 years the draconic heliofaws migrate from Goust to Fyyre or visa versa as that is when the algae over the ocean dies and regrows, meaning that the jet stream is gone for approximately one day.

#### Psarithermo:

This is a species of fish that lives in lava. They live solely in Flyyre.

#### Cerura:

This is a strange almost hybrid of psarithermo and a draconic heliofaw from a time when some draconic heliofaws missed migration and evolved in parallel to the pasarithermos. They look similar to draconic heliofaws, but they swim through the lava using their fins.

#### Guloa:

This is a species of shark that has evolved to have legs as well as fins and can hold their breath for long periods of time on land. They are quite a bother near the coastline.

#### Vraxouli:

A species of bird with rocks instead of feathers. There are multiple sub-species of vraxouli so their appearance varies. They live solely in Goust.

## Technology

There is a company named BotBuddies™ Ltd who produce BuddyBot™. BuddyBot™ is a robot that is designed to entertain children and double as a babysitter. It is perfectly safe and quite common in areas where it is considered affordable. BotBuddies™ once produced GunnyBot™, which was designed to be similar to BuddyBot™, but to also work as a body guard as it was equipped with a range of weaponry. That did not work out and GunnyBot™ was quickly removed from the market.

There are a range of other robots, such as guard bots which constantly scan for violence or threats and deal to the issues. Depending on their code, they can be peaceful and the worst they do is restrain or they can be violent and the worst they do is maim. Guard bots that kill are not legal, although they do exist.

Battledroids are another type of robot, designed specifically for fighting. There are arenas where battledroids are pitted against each other to find out which design is superior. Battledroids tend to make up sections of the military. They have instantaneous matter manipulation on themselves; for example, a battledroid could turn its arm into a gun in an instant, provided it had access to the needed matter.

Every city or town has an artificial water plant. These are areas where water is created from the bonding of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Despite that some towns have embraced merging with technology, they still have artificial water plants in case of a fire or similar event.

Rather than 'odd-jobs', there are virtual quest boards accessible via the BioNet where a person can accept any job they wish. If the person has a robotic hand, they can most likely project a small version of the quest board.

Matter manipulators are small, watch-sized devices that are also worn like a watch. They can break down items into their atomic forms. Its minimum storage is a mass of 10 grams and its maximum storage is a mass of 30 grams, however, the atoms can be stored in any container that wouldn't destroy them/them destroy it. Matter manipulators can be used to build anything, provided a person has access to the correct type and amount of atoms. It is not legal to use matter manipulators on other people's items without permission.

The BioNet is a chip that is implanted into the brain that allows a person to access the internet from their mind. At 18, a person is allowed a full chip which has unrestricted access to the entire internet. Partial chips are known as 'minor chips' and can be received at any age. They are known as such because they are restricted access to the internet to ensure that children are not exposed to any undesirable content. The BioNet has existed for around 90 years. Schools and workplaces have special signals which block access to the BioNet. These signals are not hackable.

Rather than triggering alarms, a laser field being triggered could increase the level of radiation to a fatal degree. Lasers are extremely focused radiation beams.

There are nanobots which can seek out affected cells within a person's body and destroy the cells to battle an illness.

Robotic limbs are a popular thing in many places, however, it is not yet possible to upload human consciousness into a robotic body. The furthest a human can go in terms of robotic upgrades is becoming a brain piloting a robotic body. There have been attempts to upload a human consciousness, but it has always resulted in the person's death. In the case of a death, the robot's body can still be used, but it requires an artificial intelligence to be uploaded in place of the person's mind.

## Civilisation

Ayoutis is a large empire that is split into four main kingdoms that are roughly equal size, save for an area between Mazeosta and Taisha which is where the Emperor's palace [Aglea] lies. The other two kingdoms are named Komonate and Geathia.

Komonate has a very rocky and slightly mountainous landscape.

Mazeosta has 'snow' in the form of frozen acid on a frequent basis due to a strange construction in the way of the mountains in Komonate.

Taisha is extremely hot and often has tornadoes coming up from Fyyre that are mostly caused by Geathia's strange and intense wind cycles that often cause sandstorms.

Aglea lies between Mazeosta and Taisha, within a weatherproof dome to protect it from the elements.

Fasture is split into seven countries which have varying terms of leadership. The seven countries are also of varying size, save for Blinda and Winstor which are quite similar, due to being ruled by the same leaders. The seven countries are named Hyudes, Gamdaly, Blinda, Winstor, Huetum, Ethait and the seventh is called Scrug, but it is now only known as "The Dreadlands" or "Dread" for short. A mountain range borders Blinda, Scurg and Gamdaly.

Hyudes is the biggest country with an amazingly large army, but it practises isolationism. Hyudes also has the most liveable desert area.

Gamdaly is being offered large sums of money by both Blinda and Winstor to be absorbed into them as it is the smallest country and lies between Blinda, Winstor and Goust. The rulers of Blinda and Winstor both want to know the formula Gamdaly figured out which allows enhancements to be added to certain parts of the human body. Gamdaly is quite marshy.

Blinda and Winstor are both run by a family who has been in power for a long time. They are democratic, though it costs to vote as all of the money goes to the winning party(ies) to better the countries. Blinda's military went with a more melee approach while Winstor tends to favour more long-ranged weaponry.

Huetum is extremely sandy, even for a desert, to the extremes where it is extremely rare for a person to go outside without a sandstorm suit on. Huetum lies off Hyudes and borders Ethait. In Huetum, an orphanage can legally sell or 'loan' children to scientists if they're desperate for funding. Huetum is known to have experiments that are borderline unethical, but as they are just on the borderline, nothing can be done about them.

Ethait was the first country to start large experiments with artificial intelligence and is also the first country to begin accepting robots and hybrids of human and robot into its community. Ethait has many caves which are rich in resources.

Scurg borders Ethait and Hyudes. Scurg is a barren desert, so bad that there's not even sand. The dirt is crumbly, dry and dead. It became known as "The Dreadlands" because outcasts, mainly criminal ones, are its main, if not only, occupants. Several attempts have been made at creating a government—most commonly an attempted dictatorship—but all have failed and it lies in anarchy. It is easily considered the most dangerous place in Fasture, but for some, it is all that lets them survive.
