( Wooo, I've returned with a new empire. Sorry if there are any errors ):

Empire Name (must be that of the species' name): Kingdom of Matsya
General Appearance: There are two species in which the Matsyan people fall under, each in the same genus. The first (Bhūmi), which evolved from a more primitive, even more fish-like creature, resembles a mix between a human, goat, and a shark. Their skin is typically enveloped in scales and have a shade ranging anywhere from a deep blackish purple to a pale, nearly white blue (this also goes for hair color). They have hard plates of skin on their foreheads and tendrils draping down from their chins, along with gills on their chests and fins below their ears and on their backs and ankles/forearms. Their feet and hands are webbed and clawed, and their eyes glow a solid gold without pupils or whites. Upon their heads are horns, and down their thick, strong tails are points for stabbing prey. They have a complex set of inner and outer teeth, like a shark's. The next species (Jalīya), which over time, evolved from the first, is generally a land creature rather than an amphibious one, though they are still quite skilled in the ways of the ocean. They look about the same, minus the head plates, tendrils, scales, gills, fins, etc. that define an aquatic creature. And instead of barbed tails and feet made for swimming, they have goat tails and cloven hooves, and their skin is covered in denser hairs that extend down their legs to their feet. Their hands are still webbed, but more subtly. Each are intelligent and relatively peaceful, save for the fact there is some flack against the Bhūmi by the Jalīya, as the monarch of the Matsya is (and always has been) Jalīya, therefore many Bhūmi are not able to succeed to noble ranks and are instead regarded as protectors of the Jalīya and their surrounding maritime borders. While the two can produce offspring together, under the law of the monarch (Dharmī ēka) it is forbidden, and generally seen as taboo for male Bhūmi during not just the breeding season (Vanśa utsava), but at any given time to approach female Jalīya before she appraoches him. As far as the monarchy goes, it is based off of the land's religion, the empress figure being a constant reincarnation of their god on their planet. She is worshipped and brought offerings by all, and is said to be the most truthful, wise creature in the universe. During breeding season, which is a once in every 30 or so years (or sooner/later) depending on when the monarch decides to declare it so, the monarch chooses her mate (who must be of a certain set of bloodlines, but more on that later) and the females, following a certain set of traditions, are given a male. If more than one female is given the same male, they must fight until one remains living. Gestation typically lasts for a year and for that year a period of peace is given. Females lounge inside or preform non-labour intensive tasks and are tended to by the males for this year. Because all of the females die after birth, the last month consists of much celebration, especially for the monarch and her soon-to-be born successor. After the new mother dies, the father takes care of the child (twins are non-existent) until s/he reaches the age of seven (Matsyas mature into adults at the age of seven earth years, and typically live a short life – only about fifty earth years).
The Matsya's diet consists of many vegetables, gourds, herbs, roots, grains, fruits, sea plants, and so forth, along with a variety of fish and crustaceans. The few land creatures on their rocky, almost completely oceanic planet are not eaten or killed, but rather left to fend for themselves or serve as livestock or pets if domesticated. They are known for their incredible ability to design architecture from very little resources (cities are built on rocks in the middle of the ocean, they originally had vast pieces of land but the ocean rose over it, leaving very little. Their towns, in a way, resemble Venice with its bridges and so-forth because of water), as well as being skilled swimmers, fishermen, textile workers, engineers, and peacekeepers.
Level (levels 6 through 9 are allowed, 6 being very small and 9 being very large): About 7. The planet is very small with a very small population, so the empire wouldn’t have conquered much beyond their moons and other nearby planets.

(I'm currently writing up my forms for these guys as well as drawing them out; but for the meantime, have some pictures of their cities):

"A few years maybe.. they might open a permanent position here." She scratched behind his ear. "I don't know do you think I could find a cat for such a thing as a Kohl?"

Shera grabbed her now dry shirt then put it on. "Oh yeah yesterday some stallion was looking for you. Haven't seen him before so I stayed away. I was still dragging your case anyhow."

________________

"To the cabin.. you said you want me away from you." She stepped out not giving him a chance to reply.
"I wouldn't know the name. They teleport everywhere these days."

"Maybe...."

"What was his name?"

Festus growled and checked out the food, finally getting hungry. Feeling rather unarmed, he kicked at one of the tent posts and an old crack gave way to a very thin compartment. It held a dart several inches long, the handle wrapped in fine leather. The rest of the blade was ground to a triangle and sharpened to a point so it could cause as much damage as any dagger. Setting the dart down, he started eating.
"Yeah but when did you go?" He sat down wondering if Tapska brought Theazel with this time.

____________


"Hmmm. Maybe I should solicit then... see if any would entertain the idea." She rolled ever looking around for hanging fruits.

______________

"I didn't ask, he just was knocking then left. I was half down the row. He was about your age, maybe a little older. Bay with matching mane." She shrugged. "If He comes back do you want me to inquire?"

______________

Later Hellaina grew cold and decided to sneak back quietly to get a blanket. She pulled the tent flap back slowly.
 
The healer blinked at her eyes then took her to the healing house anyhow.  "I  need to go fetch someone for you. Rest here please."

He strode out looking around the air was very damp."So this is it... do you have any above ground cities and such?"


"Um ok?" Puzzled Bella. Meanwhile she held and played with Saharia.
________

"This way." She directed her finger to follow.
 
Quote: Nightshade lifted up and kissed him, "right here baby." She grinned. "Told you I'm bad."

Rose waited, observing around.
"You are..." He smirked.. then he rubbed his eyes. "That was quick.. your mother is waiting for us.. you better get cleaned up." smacked her rump "on it." She smiled, getting up. "Ill be quick." She winked, strolling in the bathroom.
Barabus straightened his mane then put his shirt back on.
 
Quote: Jega giggled. "Thank you.....Okay." Her cheeks flushed. Maybe hey will let me off the ship early so I can travel with you to Terrellia." She grinned.

Milan could sense something powerful ahead.

"I bet they would since I made time to come." Legend informed, finally licking her snout.
____________

Flame entered the room and pointed to Aurora.
Jega smiled and quivered a bit. "We should go some where more private to finish talking... where would you like to go?"

_______________

Milan crouched down to the ground and stared in amazement.
 
Nightshade returned the kiss deeply, placing her arms around his neck.

Rose looked at at Yule, "Ok." She smiled, tracking behind.

...................................... later.   Barabur heard his comm.  He grunted.  "Where is it?"  He fished round in the blankets.



___________



Yule was waiting for Barabus to answer.

Nightshade lifted up and kissed him, "right here baby." She grinned. "Told you I'm bad."

Nightshade took a quick shower combed her hair and flourished her face.
