Synopsis backstory
A Rhiaxian (sub-race of Bornian), goes out on his balcony of his Merchant apartment several stories up and watches the people below, he thinks about his life now that he has all he has now. This is the introduction that will begin the story. the end is the method I use to create any story, a six category chart and placement of people in the age of Sagittarius 20,000 years from now, and, character personality derived from astrology Astrology of fictitious people that were never born is a method to create personality and backstory for any character. He is an anthro Horse, his lover is a overly well endowed Fennec. I will flesh out the rest of the story that will mostly reveal the city of Driadan its politics, culture and the people that reside and live in a military aircraft base, city.
This story begins in a town, well a city that was derived from a town, which became larger because of the need for a military base by a subtype of race that used fixed wing aircraft and mostly dirigibles as their main armament type of craft. The same concept of using the wagon with outriders going from one location to the other is used as the basis of travel. The reason is not only do evil or nefarious people want to ravage the main craft, but so do monsters and other things that regard the dirigible, (not so much the crews) as a violation of their breeding or hunting territory, and they act to 'scare' it away - animals. Robots could be warned off by using a siren and demons are mostly all land based so they can't usually affect the craft in flight.
This story will be about a gay merchant taking some air on the top of his balcony and looking across the vista of the city, beginning with the giant dirigible floating above and cruising past overhead sort of surprisingly (it startled him even though he knew what it is, just that he had not seen one of the military so close up before. He uses a dirigible to fly goods from one location to another himself. The military uses their engines sparingly and don't usually use them all the time, getting momentum going then shutting off the engines and cruising at altitude and direction until they need to course correct or speed up. Most of the time they come overhead completely silent, and low just over the tops of the buildings on the ground, as in this case to the Bornian Rhiaxian. Driadan Rhiaxians man the military craft, and are racially used to manning such a craft, even though they themselves are wingless. Several millennia of using such craft is the main reason, it is the dirigible, is the backbone of their culture used as a metaphor even in speech talking as if the dirigible was a living thing, but treating it as a she or he depending upon their sexual identification of themselves. In this man's case he refers to dirigibles as a he. He is a bottom in sex so the dirigible becomes the top for him and he uses it in this way to describe things in his life surrounding it. As well as my master treats me well, though sometimes I vex him with my demands he is always there to hold me in his vast arms and comfort me when I a lonely or troubled, he is my rock in the sky, I love him all the more.
This Bornian is the one of the other types of Rhiaxians, the other two are distinct as much as the Driadans are to the Zhetwahn lone hunter types, the Centaurs and lastly the Hannaxx who do fly on their own but by use of an extra organ developed from the pituitary gland that allows telekinesis, levitation and manipulation of weapons or objects though not that many all at one time. Each one of these Rhiaxians has a specific bent that is nearly always the same. Driadans lean towards the military, Bornians more towards freedom and supporting themselves through some kind of mercantilism, Zhetwahns through personal hunting abilities, like an archer or bowman in old England, the Hannaxx are unique as much as Centaurs are for the fact that Hannaxx lack arms to manipulate objects or hands and fingers with an opposing thumb to manipulate them, they use their mind and picture what the want to do before attempting then use telekinetic or mental force to pick up and move the object or use it as if they had hands to actually physically grasp it. Centaurs resemble humans with a horse's body below the navel, they either eat meat or are herbivores the lower half is mostly lungs and they have two hearts in different locations on their bodies. Many of their speech patterns lies in the duplicate organs they have in their bodies.
These are all Rhiaxians just the same, although Bornians don't usually use their subtype in regards to themselves, and simply refer to themselves as the planet they originate from (here believing this planet is actually Rhiax, except it actually isn't) as a Rhiaxian instead of the subtype they actually are.
Humans of some kinds of color of their skin refer to themselves as human, no so much their skin color, although for others it is their identity. In the far past it was important for a Human to call themselves by a skin color instead of simply Human, White or Black or by nationality Chinese, Nipponese or a Samoan.
Through having multiple viewpoints in a matter of everyday life, the sub races of the Rhiaxian group, regard other races as the same as they are, though not obviously, but regard minds instead of the physical exterior characteristic to simplify their viewpoints. In this case this Rhiaxian deals with many races though usually with specific individuals in his mercantile dealings, or his lovers.
In the love interest and at present he is a bottom to a well endowed Drex, (Fennec) who had a Hannaxx or Centaurian ancestor. This carried through to him and he actually has a giant long phallus to use on the merchant, in bed with him.
Neither one treats this as unusual or strange as heterosexuals do, regarding any deviation of their normalcy as aberrant and alien-like behavior. Mostly though in the case of all Bornians sexual orientation leans along heterosexual lines, he is homosexual, but it is accepted in society for him to be. He has the same desires to show affection in common life out in the open, but is restricted by totalitarianism of his surroundings, only able to do things behind closed doors, or talk about them too much in public.
The same problems exist as they have for the last million years concerning the homosexual condition, accepted though not accepted is the general way of things, it has not changed at all and is a statement that is written in stone. You can't go to extremes to show your love for another, even though you desire to, because of your race, you are still a minority, and even with that minority take the subordinate role of the bottom, preferring to be fucked instead of being the dominant one in the relationship, 'the girl' in other words to use hetero viewpoints. In his case it is perfectly normal, for him and the minority of people like him.
The focus is the city itself; the explanation orients around his regard of the city and the area he resides in, and is taking a break from lovemaking his top is asleep back inside, and he is just walking out on his balcony. Not thinking of the lover he has found, unique as he is, as much as regarding his cherished lifestyle, that he is living in.
He can look down from his balcony into the streets below with the hard scrabble types he came from, to become a person of status because of his services across the world in transaction of goods. That all began almost upon the first week of his adventure after joining the Guild of the Diamond, and of entrepreneurs and merchants. He was able to place each of a an entire shipment of non living products into his bracer then simply ride alone with this cargo inside to a distant location. He took a job as a map maker and surveyed the best route to a location noting the roads to take or lake thereof to the location. He delivered the goods and got paid placing most of money into his bracer. Because he wanted to refrain from having to explain he was in fact a member of the Diamond Guild and would be waylaid by brigands or Highwaymen along his journey. He left out a portion, not a huge sum, but enough for a brigand to be satisfied, so as to forego being ransomed for his actual wealth.
Above him are the military and the Driadans their buildings are taller and are separate from his circle of dealing with life outside his sphere. So he has to look up to see them, they look down upon him in more ways than the obvious, heterosexual is still the main type of sexual orientation, most Driadans are that 'normal' way. Fewer than 10% are gay. He knew a Driadan once but the relationship did not last long, the man was bisexual, but treated sex as his right, and dealt it out like a command structure, because he can't help it, he is Driadan. They have always acted that way, thinking of their relationships as a military unit in patrol of defense of their territories, and versus the many foes that attempt to gain a foothold in the city named after them, and are simply Driadan.
He is this type of person, gay but holding it inside not outwardly showing his tendencies, hidden always alone in a way, somewhat lost. He may marry someday and bear then raise children but will more than likely become bisexual instead, fostering children and raising a family with a real female wife, instead of his acquired sexual orientations. That seems far off from his situation now however. He will still 'see' another man, to fulfill the vacancy of his heart like (the Robin Williams character in "birds of a feather"- movie), then live with that man having 'done his duty' to create a child or many children. Although most of the time unless things are extremely difficult, most Bornian couples don't have a large family, usually only one, or two, to replace themselves. He is an Aries with Sagittarius rising, person. Meaning he takes action, with an interest in everyone outside his mind as a new and exciting mind and even places, for the view and relative atmosphere of the surroundings. He is self made in a way and follows the method of doing instead of reacting, so in essence he is proactive instead of reactive. Sometimes this is respected, other minds reject a mind that does what they said they were going to do and are jalousie of an individual that acts instead of stands in one place waiting to react to stimuli.
Actual story using the following guides to determine the direction the story will take"
Thought 51-Law & Brutality
Mood 07- Treachery & being Unafraid
Design 81-Shanghai'd & Becalming plan
Intention 53- through Hiding something of tremendous worth & Compromise being the special abilities of Diamonds in persuasion through example or parable, the powers endowed of language.
Method 63- Loose possibly the sense of loss instead of unhindered & Regression to an earlier plan to accomplish his goal
Goal 31- of Opportunity & Value of his Guild foremost over his Order he joined which is the Star Order. Mostly he joined the least augmentative or less arrogant Order of the eight, because he wanted friends instead of enemies. Though in business you will always make enemies, he understood early on it was better to make friends of minds instead of disgruntled unsavory minds. Again Rhiaxians regard the mind instead of the outward appearances of any individual.
