'Conflicting Worlds(tm)' Wolfy Wet Furr

[WolfyWetFurr]

'Conflicting Worlds' is the compilation of all I have created. It is universal, created to fit into anything and everything I may desire it to. It changes in real time in my mind passively and more so when I RP. There is more than I care to describe with in it. It would take way too long. I am sure I am not the only one with something like that. I also realize there is nothing new under the sun and it is impossible to create anything with out it having similarities to something already done but I assure you that as this may occur in my work it is unintentional. The fallowing content entries are original to me and I do not allow use with out written consent from myself. Call me paranoid if you like.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would like to first introduce one of my more well developed creations. It is a planet. 'Karnatia' is the name and it's race, which is really the focus of this entry, named simply as Karnations or Karn(s). This is the planet that I have the most written data for. I have many more to fallow; slowly.

Faction Name: Karnations
Association Type: Race\Planetary
Abbreviated Bio:

A very specific race created by an unknown bearing a handsome resemblance to some wolves with some smaller resemblance to dragons. Some think them to be a finely tuned hybrid, but they would be deeply offended if referred to as such. With a past of being warriors and conquerors, the average Karnation can be a worthy opponent and used to desire a good fight at any given time. At a point in their history, the race had stretched themselves too thin and their numbers began to dwindle. Having found a beautiful and lush planet, they turned their efforts and significantly advanced technologies toward preservation of themselves and the planets beauty. They maintain a number of their old rituals and deep sense of honor. Their social aspects such as attraction often revolve around teeth. Some grow large plate scales along their back sides and are often used to display stylistic symbols to match those that grow naturally in their fur which resemble glowing runes. Small dolphin-to-shark fin-like horns grow on their head and rarely about the rest of their body and are usually low in number. Females typically have two pairs of breasts with one being of a modest size and the next pair below being notably smaller. The two pairs are well balanced and used to support the tendency of having one to four offspring at a time.

Sub category:-Economy-
The Karnation economy consists mostly of a loose bartering system. Exchanging goods and services in hopes of meeting both parties needs. As a result, all are taught to have a concern for the needs and in some cases desires of others. At the same rate, they are taught to be savvy in trade, to ensure the trade is fare based on knowledge of the other persons circumstances, and the magnitude of their own desires. In addition to this, the Karnations use a global currency. This currency, however, bares no worth to an individual unless dealing with the I.P.T.O.

Trade with off worlders is a another story. The outer planetary trade is handled by the I.P.T.O [Inner planetary trade organization]. The I.P.T.O Deals strictly to benefit Karnatia. They measure the demand of off world traders as a whole and give out as little as they can while taking as much as they can. On top of this, they are very particular of what they will take in trade in exchange for what they will allow. Strict codes and policies have been have been put in place to insure the recreation of their goods out side of Karnatia merits harsh consequences.

Karnations also participate in the 'Human-kin Preservation act'. This act allows for the capture and sale of human related individuals. This has many strict rules, regulations, policies, and more of the same. All purchasing a human-kin are required to fill out compatibility profiles and must present proof of being able to meet the H-K's [Human-Kin] needs for an extensive amount of time. This includes food, shelter, clothing, education, and the ability to expose them to a variety of fields for both work and recreation. {{The 'Human-Kin Preservation Act' has to do with the existence this planet is in. 'Conflicting Worlds' ™ "Wolfy Wet Furr" has been developing for over eight real life years. Over that time pure blood humans are only found in history books and any less than a half breed is extremely rare. A 'human-kin' is anything that can be physically determined to be more than half human.}}

Sub category: -Bacteria-
Karnatia is home to billions of bacteria like any breathable planet; however, the nature of said bacteria varies greatly from other planets and is quite the contradiction to most of the world's organisms. Carnations will often wear special masks to filter their own breath and take on other precautions to ensure that they do not share this part of their home planet with off-worlders. When off-worlders are exposed, the results can be deadly if not treated right away. After a Karnation has been off Karnatia for a month or so, the bacteria will most likely have died off and been replaced by what is natural to the environment they have been in which are in most if not all cases far weaker and less malicious. If this factor is overlooked, a stay on this beautiful planet could be a very fatal encounter with thousands of horrid effects that have yet to be recorded. If visiting, one should take the time to allow a certified Karnation to vaccinate them and administer other necessary treatments.

Sub category: -Planetary-
A small number of races have migrated to Karnatia in large enough numbers to be acknowledged as a significant portion of the planet's population. Immigration policies are extremely tight and as such it is almost impossible to legally become a resident anywhere on the planet. Most non-Karnation residents currently on the planet have been born and raised on it and given proper schooling and low amounts of individual training. Their honor code is ingrained via subtle conditioning. Otherwise, each is allowed to develop on its own and maintain its own will as it grows.

Notable Races:

-A very sharp breed of cheetah has been refined over the years on the planet. Focusing on specific traits while breeding due to raised health and breeding standards, the Karnation cheetah has become its own branch in the cat family as far as looks are concerned. One can't alter his blood after all. With a sharply featured face, pointed ears, and an unusually tall body structure, the cats are naturally quick and slight of form in a way that surpasses those of any less breeding-conscious cats. Green eyes with a yellow main coat is the typical coloration with the rare blue gray factor with a very small number of recorded eye colors. There is approximately a one female to three male ratio. Females' stature are sleeker than males' with slightly softer faces and the addition of typical breasts and are usually well cared for more so than males and are expected to be able to maintain their own health and fitness under the closest of scrutiny, the same as their males. In maintaining their racial superiority, there is little time to learn the workings of unnatural things such as intricate machines and vehicles. They often rely on Karnation built ships and pilots when it comes to what little amounts of travel they require. Like most of Karnatia's population, relationships are not at all restricted by gender but are rather based on generally high standards or a very specific criteria. Most 'off planet' races would view them as arrogant; a misunderstanding that upsets them regularly. Clothing trends vary, but most often are composed of heavy cloth and/or leather combination.

-Tice, a superior hybrid of rat and mice, have worked hard to surpass being seen as mere rodents. Although they are still seen as such by many, they give less cause for it than their pure breed ancestors. Tice take the best of mice and rats and meld the best traits together to create a form more fitting to Karnatian standards. Some would disagree with molding themselves to another races standards but Tice as a whole have found it profitable in many ways. Having honed much of their form though early hybridization and many generations of selective breeding, Tice have refined their bodies, reduced and honed the size and shape of their ears, and generally maximized the use of their ancestors' physical assets. Their faces are that of soft nobility and their actions typically fallow suit. The Tice gained recognition for doing what needed to be done and having a mechanical aptitude. They take pride in doing menial tasks, a trait that earns them favor in the eyes of many, and have created a large number of practical tools and various inventions. This is fueled by a desire to hone their crafts and better themselves in the pursuit of knowledge. What they create is not as elegant as a Karn's work, but are considered by off-worlders to be more practical and considerably cheaper. They can't hide their ancestry and they don't want to. They simply want to improve on it... Endlessly...

Perks: Extreme resistance to most known toxins and diseases.

[OdinAshcroft]

This is certainly an indepth observational piece of an entire planet. I mean, you cover in great detail its economic structure, the history of the ruling species, and the pieces on three sentient races society/culture. This must have been in mind for some time to delve so deep into an idea.

I must applaud on this, quite an excellent work. Great job WolfyWetFurr

[WolfyWetFurr]

Thank you very much Odin. Yes, it did take a good while to solidify. I have much more on the way about what all you see in the key atop it all there. None of it is as developed, or I should say, recorded as well as that one though.

[WolfyWetFurr]

Faction Name: Bertha's Children
Association Type: Clan [Have to be born into, or paired with a member]
Abbreviated Bio:

-The Bertha in short is a living ship of organic and inorganic matter approximately the size of a planet. Having started out small, she was the main target of mercenaries due to bounties on her. This eventually simmered down as she grew. She is capable of giving birth to virtually any form of vehicle and like her it will be a living creature. She is also capable of reproducing fully organic life. The range of persons, creatures, and vehicles is incalculable. The Bertha her self and her children never stop growing in one way or another.

Perks: Life time training, all needs, and additional resources provided.

{If I can get some good RP's going it will help stimulate my mind and help me flesh this one out more. Though if you have a thought on that, please use notes.}

[SliceOfDog]

Ooh, very interesting idea there! Not something I've come across very often (the only similar thing I'm personally aware of is the organic Tyranid ships from 40K, and they're not quite the same)
I'll be interested to see more from you!
Also, great to see you back on the site! I believe it's changed quite a lot since you were last around and posting?

[Wolfgang of Borg]

Hadn't seen this before.. starts out sounding post-cyberpunk (like cyberpunk except the megacorps and zaibatsu aren't necessarily nasty), then seems to be heading primativist for a bit.. Heh i like the idea of a fang-based sense of beauty.. A technological civilization run on barter? Wouldn't that be hugely confusing (everyone would need to know everyone else's business, just in order to tell if they're being ripped off)? Guess it might work, given sufficiently advanced technology. Or maybe there'd be a specialised industry dedicated to telling people if they're being ripped off (but how would you prevent corruption?). Interesting idea.

I love the human-kin bit, the idea of some sort of "genotype diaspora" hadn't occurred to me.. give everyone the ability to modify their own bodies / bloodlines and you'd probably see speciation very rapidly.. wouldn't've thought there'd be any risk of aboriginal humans disappearing tho, for one the Amish'll never go for it, but i guess any religious sects who don't like the idea of genetic tampering probably wouldn't want to interact much with the rest of us and so may well drop off the map...

-Bacteria-

I tend to assume fecal transplants (totally a thing, look it up) and skin and mouth flora sterilization / repopulation by benign local bugs and immune system reprogrammings and lymphocyte upgrades and so on and on and on are always a vital (if tedious and distasteful, hence never shown) part of visiting another world.
(IRL, someone should totally start marketing local intestinal flora spore pills to foreign travelers, so they don't have to worry about drinking the water...)
So this is like a hell planet for microbes.. again, interesting concept.

> A very sharp breed of cheetah have been refined over the years on the planet. Focusing on specific traits
Like what? You mention they're snobs about breeding but not what traits they find desirable.. being tall, skinny, and sharp, i guess. What's up with the gender imbalance? I'm guessing they're probably polyandrous, but are they matri- or patriarchal (i can't imagine gender equality in such a situation)?

Edit: right, sorry, just re-read what you wrote, obv if everyone's perfectly bisexual there's gonna be a lot of child adoption, which would certainly help with the breeding program. Possibly it could be that (deliberately) no Cheetah is ever raised by their genetic parents?
(I really like the idea of snobbery about blood leading a race to create for themselves an artificial genetic bottleneck.)

Big Bertha

So are her offspring themselves totipotent? She sounds like a biological universal assembler (i always kinda thought such a thing would need to be sapient in order to b3 of much use). Neat idea, plus i love ships-who-are-people!

[WolfyWetFurr]

Ok, about the Cheetah. That's one I can respond to for now.

For traits that they look for, they enjoy angular features in the face along with builds that are best able to move quickly. They also like their common eye color. Having an eye color other than green can be considered an imperfection, but would not be looked upon as a handicap.

Yes, adoption is common place among them and it creates a stronger bond between house holds usually. The female would care for the children she gave birth to until they are weened before passing them on to who would be their mother, be it female or male.

As for the gender ratio, that is mainly the chance for birth. There is likely to be more female kits than male ones.

As for what form of leadership there is. That is a tricky one indeed. There is a form of gender equality. The females role is often breeding, child care, taking care of a home or teaching some one to care for a home. To be able to make life is something special to them and It is an honor to be able to breed. Child care is well respected on its own as well and when a male couple adopts, one male will submit to the other as the father and take on the role of the mother to provide care to their child and to care for their home. In this case to submit, is not to degrade yourself. The father also helps with home and child but would be the one to provide for the family mostly. It is something natural to them and they do not consider any role to be less important than another. There are rare cases of females taking on roles of leadership out of necessity, but it is not something they desire. Carrying on a conversation with an RL feminist would be frustrating and insulting to them. :p So in the end, you could say it is more patriarchal.

[Wolfgang of Borg]

Heh sorry for jumping all over your post, i just love big systems of connected ideas, and taking them apart and seeing how they break...

Have been kinda trying to invent my own universe scenario like this recently, only nowhere near as complex, and set near-future.

[WolfyWetFurr]

Now for a tid bit more on their economy and 'Ipto'.

The trade/barter system is something that has worked for them for as long as they have been. The Karnation people are perfectly capable of managing their own lives and working with each other to obtain their personal goals. While their technology is complex, their needs and desires are not.

The IPTO, which you could almost call a form of planetary government buys products from its people and sells those products to other planets to make what is usually a steep profit.

What do the people do with that money? They use it to buy from the IPTO what ever the IPTO got from other planets. Karnatia is self sustaining and needs nothing from other planets but it's people often enjoy the added culture and cushion doing so provides. A person can also work directly for IPTO for that currency but that often means living on the orbital stations and using products bought by IPTO.

What else does IPTO use the resources for? Well, beyond being something of a political buffer between Karnatia and other planets, the IPTO uses the profit gained to help fund the Karnation military which while it is able to run on it's own, benefits from the extra resources from outer world's. With out the free people of Karnatia, IPTO would crumble and they would also crumble with out outer planetary trade. So it could be seen as a precarious balance but it is a very well oiled machine that continues to work for the benefit of the people it serves.

Some Karnations Do not buy or sell with IPTO and still maintain very good lives crafted by their own hands.

[SliceOfDog]

Interesting concept, WetFurr, and it makes me wonder if you've read Thomas More's Utopia? The concepts are quite different in application, but share some interesting similarities

[Wolfgang of Borg]

(Project Gutenberg copy of Utopia, 1901 Cassell & Company Edition)

I've been meaning to read up on money ever since that Bitcoin thing in the Spring, and now you've got me all reading about trade exchanges instead, dammit!

[WolfyWetFurr]

Mm, no I can't say that I have read any of that material to be honest. It all just formulates in my head as I go. Some time's I am inspired by out side sources but the things I have actually discussed in this thread are original to me. Plenty of time to spend creating things, not much tome to read things beyond rp posts and your responses here.

[13Swords]

With all the effects the bacteria have, the combination effects have to be devastating. Any chance some of the bacteria can be used for medical purposes? Example: We've made bacteria that produce insulin for diabetics; do any of the bacteria produce drugs the people's bodies need?

[WolfyWetFurr]

That is not some thing that I put much thought to. With the Karn's developing such strong immune systems I had not thought of using the planets malicious germs and such as medicine. But I did think them to have reasonably advanced medical care. So I got 2 with out putting 1 and 1 together. But I imagine it would work out that way.

[WolfyWetFurr]

Faction: Space Drakes
Association: Race
Abbreviated Bios:
The off spring of the Bertha developed originally for the colonization of moons and the maintenance of external structures on the Bertha. Like everything else they have a rider. The difference is the rider rides inside them. The functions of the inner chamber changes as the drake grows and adapts according to what/who occupies it. Their chest splits down the middle allowing the rider to fit snugly inside like an exo suit. The drakes are of good size and are extremely picky about what rider they choose as many factors have to be considered. Cords of tube like flesh penetrate the all the riders orifices and muscles wrap about them to physically unify the rider with the drake at all times. Each keeps their own will, but the rider has little physical control. He/she would be there to control any attached equipment via electronic brain links. The dragons themselves are colored in scales the resemble polished black rock and have no other variations. Though the flesh and eye color can vary from drake to drake. Most mating habits have gone undocumented but what can be easily discovered is the presence of claws on the space drake's lower regions that resemble ones that would be found on snakes only larger to fit the drake's body size accordingly.


I need to update this with details from the discussion thread I started.
http://www.scififur.net/forum/showth...7-Space-Drakes
I do not mind some grammatical aid [sent via notes] on these main posts that are meant to display my official data. Could use the help on this project.

[13Swords]

yeah, I read the thread. So, rockets on their backs for propulsion, or solar absorption?

Ooh!
0.0 what color are they on the inside?

[WolfyWetFurr]

I am not familiar with the later. I imagined some sort of propulsion system to be put onto their bodies. As for the color of their insides. I have not worked that out. Perhaps black skin with inner flesh that varies with purple black and gray.

[13Swords]

well, what I HAD meant was absorb sunlight, use created food as energy source, burn forward through space...
but then I remembered plants need water and air. Kinda important, that.

[WolfyWetFurr]

Faction Name: Commando Weres
Association Type: Cooperate
Abbreviated Bio:

Not much is known about how this group got started, but it is obvious that their name does not speak for all those whom are part of it as not many are weres and only a handful are military. They were able to acquire significant wealth through the means of selling pleasures and related accessories, magazines, movies, and renting out rooms. Parties and various pleasures are there only specialty. There installations are often very flashy with a very wide variety of employees. They use small installations planet side, not counting there first location. A living testament that sex sells -very- well. Breasts and groins are not allowed to be covered while in their facilities. Their largest accomplishment is colonizing the moon Canis Minor, in orbit around Canis Major, turning it into an extremely luxurious resort in part in addition to providing extra space for the rest of their activities such as filming locations and manufacturing facilities.

Perks: Popularity and ample opportunities for sexual favors. Room and board (varies with location).

[13Swords]

Well that's one way to start off my morning.

[BIos_Reaper]

Will other species be permitted in this Rpness? Also, do you have a chat client? O.o I find myself needing to talk to awesome world builders like you.

[WolfyWetFurr]

This is just a place to share my archives of stuff heh, not any particular RP starter. Though I can make RP's based on my worlds. As for chatting, any one may send me a note asking for my messenger info along with what they would like to talk about :3

I don't understand your first question Bios.

[WolfyWetFurr]

Faction Name: Cats Care
Association Type: Business
Abbreviated Bio:

The Cats Care was originally founded by a female cat as a small business that served in food, rooms, and pleasures. The ownership was given to Tor'en who was at the time a young furred dragon of loose relation to Rift. Tor'en over time enlarged the establishment to host many rooms, a tavern, meet hall, stage, fighting cage, balconies, dance floors, and many other such establishments. Known for having all known drinks and great food. Most if not all employee's are capable of being waters/waitress, escorts, dancers, and related. His private security force is something entirely different. Due to the Cats Care's continued success, prices are generally low and Tor'en has been able to start buying out small business. The Cat's Care accept most forms of currency.

Perks: Room, board, service, food and medical provided.

----------

Faction Name: Helping Hands
Association Type: Large business/Semi Racial
Abbreviated Bio:
The helping hands main building is actually two massive buildings with covered bridge like path ways between them. Most employees are expected to be just as capable as members of the Cats Care though are considerably more reserved. Most of the staff consists of equines and water related mammals. Only a select few are other wise. The owner of this establishment has been rumored to be a unicorn and at other times a wolf. Some would go as far to say both but her gender is assuredly female and all agree she has wings like an angel. Some jest that she has a halo too.

Perks: Room and board provided.
----------

Both establishments are located on the planet of the masters, on the north west side of the planet, on the largest continent.

[WolfyWetFurr]

Faction: Thorians
Association: Medical
Abbreviated Bios:
The planet 'Thor' in conflicting worlds is among many things what could be considered cursed. A race lives on it known as sin [beats away FF fanatics with the wrong impression-Though I admit it was inspiring]. Thor's air is a toxic make up that is heavily addictive and causes a depression in the bodies hormones. A thorian has been to the planet and incurred that dependence and will usually have withdraws if not die when no longer able to breath Thors air. A rare few have attained small shards that are shed from large guardian like creatures that roam the planet and often go unseen in spite their size. There are many details about this planet and that with is in it. To much to post. Just know that it is a truly miserable place to live unless your terribly lucky in which case it's tolerable. There is no life expectancy there.
