Spectrum   Empty Spectrum

Post by Nijaki Tue Jun 06, 2017 6:59 am

Name: Spectrum

Statistics:

NOTABLE CLIMATE ZONES: Temperate, Tropical, Desert, Mountain
CONTINENTS: Aethrar, Bushiduro, Northern Icefields, Southern Icefields
COUNTRIES:
Aethrar - Derodyne, Ascadeol, Baelcanstain, Alorcate, Afenhold
Bushiduro - Tomoshiken, Kumotan, Kaibu-Te
OCEANS: Sunscin Ocean, Eien Ocean
MOONS:Syfican, Geitsi

Description of the planet/area: Spectrum is a small planet with four main landmasses (but only two are fully colonized) and three oceans. Its northern and southern poles have historically been considered too cold to settle, but within the past couple hundred years, a few towns and cities have been made along the coasts. “Too cold” for Spectrum being relative, since most of its populated areas are temperate through most of the year. Near the coasts and equator, tropics and deserts are abundant. The notable exception being the northern country of Derodyne, which is almost entirely composed of mountains and sees frequent snow and frost.

Spectrum’s role in its galaxy is that of a battery. It is a huge source of magical energy, the likes of which roll off it in waves and disperse to nearby planets. It is because of this, in addition to its proximity to its sun, that most of the planet is capable of supporting life, and it is a popular vacation spot both for its health spas and its lively cities. This energy has also given Spectrum a reputation as a colorful and vibrant world, and many of its natives have powers relating to color, light, and pure energy.

It has two small moons, Syfican and Geitsi, both of which are populated and stay temperate year-round with mild summers and winters. They are still notably colder than most of Spectrum proper.

Brief history: The first evidence of human life on Spectrum is dated at about 3,500 years ago. To the west was the continent of Aethrar, and to the east was Bushiduro. Along with the first signs of life come the first signs of battle, and Spectrans seem to have started killing each other from the moment any of them met. Individual conflicts became tribal skirmishes became wars between countries as cultures grew and people just couldn’t get enough of trying to wipe everyone else out. Spectrum raged against itself for nearly 3000 years before the planet itself began putting a stop to the conflict, interrupting battles and toppling castles with natural disasters. Those who felt the closest connection to the energy contained within the world were able to discern what it was trying to do, and uneasy alliances were formed. Not every country was willing to join them in peace, but eventually, the constant wars were ended.

It’s only been in recent centuries that dignitaries from other planets have come to form interplanetary relations with Spectrum. In the past, no visitors to the world ever lasted very long. It has found itself a place with the worlds surrounding it, though, and has a modern civilization on par with planets like Eraklyon and Solaria. While its wars are over, the people of Spectrum have taken to other intense forms of leisure to expend all that energy. Martial arts is still common all over, especially for nobility and royalty, and fighting tourneys are massive events. Other sports are also popular, the more physically-involved and violent the better. Places like bath houses and hot springs are found aplenty, as they allow people to release their tension in more relaxing ways.

Culture/cultural influences on buildings and local populace: Aethrar’s historical aesthetic could be compared to western Europe on earth, particularly places like early Britain, Ireland, and France. Bushiduro is comparable to east Asia, with Japan and Korea having some close analogues. The two continents had a while to develop separately, so by the time they met and started fighting, their cultures were already distinct. Once more peaceful relations were forged, ways of life began to bleed together, and though each landmass is still predominantly represented by its historical leanings, it isn’t at all uncommon to find traits of one in the other.

Modern Spectrum has the typical benefits introduced by other planets, and outside of its historical locations, it’s easy to find fairly standard architecture and realm-wide cultural practices. Its reputation for color still carries over, though. A stereotypical Spectran is physically fit and dexterous, with high energy levels and a strong will. An Aethrarian is expected to be boisterous, and a Bushiduron is expected to be more level-headed. These are of course broad generalizations, and certainly not every Spectran fits this criteria.

Government type: Spectrum has one central government, ruled over by a roughly constitutional monarchy. The ruling family lives in the country of Afenhold, while the planet’s seven other countries all have nobility on a council that royalty consults in economic, military, and social decisions. While royalty is not necessarily required to follow the decisions of the council, they are subject to public opinion. The Vol Dragoons were instated as the first kings and queens because it was believed that they had the closest connection to the planet and could best interpret its wants and needs. If that were to change, there is an unwritten understanding that the council would take the crown from the line (by whatever means are needed) and a new monarchy would be established. Luckily, nothing indicates that things area heading in that direction at this time.

Beneath the planetary monarchy, countries have independent governments, with reigns of influence extending down to town mayors. While family lines and nobility do still play a large part in Spectran politics, nominated officials are becoming ever more prevalent, especially as you get down into smaller spheres of influence.

Important Cities, locations and Landmarks:
Olose: Capital city of Spectrum, home of the royal family and what first comes to mind for most people when they think of the planet. Arenas, racetracks, casinos, bars, huge hotels and historical landmarks aplenty, Olose seems like what would happen if someone put London, New York, and Las Vegas in a mixing bowl and beat it together into a bustling, historic neon rainbow slurry. A very popular tourist spot, especially for people looking for adventure and a good time.

Solcav: A large costal city to the south, Solcav is one of the hotspots for relaxation. Famous for its cuisine, especially its alcohol. While people go to Olose to get drunk and go crazy, people come to Solcav to get drunk and fall asleep on the beach under a large umbrella.

Deigola Tropics: An area dense rainforest and vibrant grasslands in the center straight of Aethrar, there are many nature preserves in the area one can visit to see famous Spectran plants and animals in their natural habitat.

Koyomi: One of the largest cities in Bushiduro, it, along with its surrounding villages and territories, is considered a haven for traditional Spectran art and intellectualism. It is home to the planet’s largest university, and it’s the kind of place that the Magix equivalent of the History Channel runs a new special on at least once a year.

Hayada Mountains: A deceptively scenic cluster of mountains in northern Bushiduro, the interior peaks are notoriously barren and difficult to navigate. It's because of this that the mountains are a traditional spot for anyone seeking an extreme physical challenge to try to cross the range.

Geitsi and Syfican: The two moons of Spectrum, they are where ancient and traditional culture still lives for Bushiduro and Aethrar, respectively. People throughout the magical dimension who are serious about combat, both physical and magical, spend time on one or both of the moons to undergo the training that made Spectrum such an imposing military force.

Trading partners/allies: Spectrum is a member of the general dimensional commerce market, trading with many other planets. It has no active enemies, but is always ready to defend itself against the numerous evil threats that seem to plague the magical dimension every couple of years. It is in good standing with other major planets, such as Solaria, Domino, and Andros, and will ally with them when those aforementioned threats make themselves known.

You do not have to follow the exact format I suggest for the planets at all. You can do what Nikkie and Raven have and add in extra bits of information to give it that extra flare.

24 hours. It is a part of the same solar system as Magix, Solaria, Eraklyon, etc, and they all, for whatever reason, run on systems identical to Earth (since all time references made in the show stay consistent no matter what planet the Winx girls are on). Since Spectrum is a part of that same system, it does, too.

I have been working on putting together more info, I've just been a bit distracted recently |D I'm trying to summarize from what I have in my notes because I have a lot of detail that nobody but me would care about, and I don't want to just post a massive block of text. I want to keep the info here accessible to people who would need it.

From what we understand all these planets are in different systems. Solaria is a trinary system while Eraklyon is a single star. Spectrum could be in the same system as magix or Eraklyon, but not all three at once.

Oh derp, I could have sworn at least Magix and Eraklyon shared a system but I forgot about Solaria's billion suns. It shares a system with Magix.

I added a bit of statistical info and made a few smaller adjustments to the first part of the planet profile, because I think it still contains the bare necessities of info for someone who just wants a quick glance at the world. I did add more detail, though, in spoilers to conserve space.

I still have more, if it's needed :B

Yes! Professional fighting is huge, and fighters are like any other paid athletes. There are also tons of open events that non-professionals can join, but the invitationals are what people get really fired up for. Places like coliseums, arenas, and boxing rings are very popular venues for professional fights. And since it was also asked over Skype, there are divisions for physical martial arts, magical combat, and mixed.

It already looks like I should add more about the professional and amateur combat culture, but I still have more about the world in general too if you guys actually wanna see it XD

I've got plenty of more specific places available to make locations out of, just let me know who to send them to and how much information you want me to provide for the location topic OP. I'd make the topics myself but I don't know that I'm allowed.
