Of Solo

This place is located in the only solar system that contains one planet, one sun and one moon, hence earning its name Solo. Like many other planets scattered across the universe, Solo contains continents separated by oceans. There are six continents on Solo, a huge centre continent known as Moyo, surrounded by five smaller ones. It is rumoured that each of the surrounding islands is home to one of five gods that created this world. They each rule their island, but rule the centre continent together, constantly fighting as to who will be the god to rule all. But what manner of creature inhabits and waits on these paradises? Creatures, wonderful creatures, but what they are and where they come from will always be the hidden question...hidden amongst the wonderful adventures awaiting them.

Of Pride-Keepers

The majestic form of the lion is mixed into the most dominant species of the centre continent. They are known as Pride-Keepers. These Lion-Men are plentiful and rule most of Moyo. They are both blessed and cursed with the possibility of being born with Royal Blood, for it is known that only Pride-Keepers of these bloodlines could become royalty. They believe in the greater good of magic and technology, and want the whole of Moyo to live by their beliefs. The Pride-Keepers have a very highly developed brain and can learn things much quicker and fluently at a very young age. But can they really use their skills for the greater good? Only time will tell.

Of Tree-Lurkers

The Tree-Lurker. Most would think that they are extremely violent and unpredictable. That is far from the truth. They are an extremely peaceful race that is few in number. The only time these leopard-men seem so dangerous is when someone threatens their peaceful lives. The strong and agile forms of the Tree-Lurker have not been corrupted by modern technology, in which they do not believe. The only things they believe in is their family and their gods. They keep to themselves and avoid any others, living their long lives alone in the wilderness of Moyo.

Of Scavengers

They are vile...they are evil...they lust for power. That is what everyone says about the Hyena-Men called Scavengers when someone meets them. By the high social standards that are set in most of the communities in the continent of Moyo, they are branded as outcasts because they never fit in. All they really wanted in life was to be accepted by the other inhabitants of Moyo, but if they couldn't have that, they would act the way they were branded as pests. Even though the Scavengers weren't the tallest in this world, nobody misjudges the strength they had...physical and in numbers. The scruffy look they had to them really helped to intimidate the other species. So in short, either you saw them as an annoyance or you were afraid of them...very, very afraid.

Of Howlers

The noblest creatures on the whole of Moyo are the Wolf-Men called Howlers. Many of the resident locals don't trust them because of the Howlers foreign nature. But when it comes to loyalty and honour, there is no one that comes close to these beautiful creatures. They would fight and die for their honour if they had to. Never forget though, there is no creature that can't be deceived by the hunger for power and greed, especially when one is in a foreign land.

Of Short-Tails

There are plenty that misjudge the Lynx-Men, Short-Tails, just because of their size. It isn't just their tails that are short, but they are the smallest feline species on Moyo. The Short-Tails have many beliefs and many religions. Some of the best healers and fighters on the centre continent of Solo come from these species.

Of Woodland-Drifters

Being one of the biggest form of feline in the continent of Moyo, the Tiger-Men known as Woodland-Drifters, are the strongest of them all. In general they are of an aggressive nature, but sometimes their gentle side surprises everyone. They have the tendency to rather solve problems through violence before thinking of a better solution.

Of Night-Stalkers

These wild-cat men used to be of the Stalker families, the panther-men whom roamed in the mountains of Moyo. That was until a strange, yet non-deadly, disease caused a melanistic appearance to a majority of them. Those that were not affected by the disease saw the change of colour of their fellow members as a curse. They branded them as outcasts and banished them from the mountains. These outcasts took refuge in the dark forests of Moyo, wanting to hide their shameful appearance. The black, blue and grey colours, mixed with a hint of disdainful purple that engulfed the whole of their entire body was only good for one thing, making them invisible in the dark habitats they chose. The people of the day cast them away. They became...assassins...thieves...the night. They were the Night-Stalkers. Yet there were the select few that wouldn't follow these ways, hoping to find some redemption in lands away from mountains.

Of Streak-Faces

The cheetah-men which are known as Streak-Faces are one of the fastest creatures in all of Moyo. Being able to run almost three times faster than any other species, they avoid confrontation as much as possible. Another reason for this evasion is because of their strong bond with natural magic, which makes them dangerous to a lot of degrees. Yet, being also the more cautious of species on Moyo, very few accidents were ever reported. They tend to live alone in their solitude, being thinly spread over the continent, they are very rare to find.
