FRACTAL CODE
The planet of Baalth…Where people are petite compared to the architecture, the flora, and the fauna. And where sentient mechanical creatures live.
Several thousand years ago, two brothers fought for the throne of a powerful kingdom. The victorious one, going against his late father’s wishes for peace, exiled his brother for his supposed powers over fate, and expanded his rule over the entire world using his powerful militia, and fear. The exiled brother, deemed Death, was believed to have faded from the world entirely…
But the king’s corrupt ways did not stop there. Fractals, people with strange writing on the back of their hand and special abilities, were persecuted and executed. The king did not want to be overthrown by anyone stronger than him. He even went as far as to condemn his own wife, who was also a Fractal. Some say they went extinct…But who said being a Fractal was hereditary?
Now, the current king, Meios, is having trouble keeping his adventure-loving daughter in check. Having to remain in the castle since she was little, she yearns to explore the forbidden ruins, where an old story lies…Does the Death Clan reside within them?
~Info~
Races: There is technically only one race, the Baalthians. Compared to humans, they are slightly slender and have pointed ears. Lengths of the ears vary; usually the males have longer ears than the females.
The lesser race is that of the androids. Although they appear Baalthian, only their face down to their neck has ‘skin’, the rest of the body does not. They can blend in if they wear clothes, but most are used as military machines. Almost all androids are void of emotion and free will, but those that do are really rare to come by, as they are scrapped. Androids are able to have wings.
And for those who don't have common knowledge...Androids, being artificial, cannot be Fractals, but are pretty much immortal, provided that they continue to get new upgrades.
Also, it is forbidden for an Android and Baalthian to love each other. It is against the law and considered a sin. That doesn't stop them, though.
Piscesian (Pie-See-cyan) - A rare, almost extinct, race. They are fish people, with skin that is any cool color (Blue, green, purple for example), fins for ears, gills on the neck, and tails like that of a dolphin. They look human beyond that, with hair and hands and feet, but they lack a nose. They are able to live on land and in water, but are happier deep in the water, in underwater cities. There are not many left, and they cannot be Fractals. They master in hand-to-hand combat.
Fractals – People born with a unique ability. Writing, usually a word from the ancient language, appears on the back of their hands if they use that power. Fractals are given the gift of two things.
1- They are able to summon a weapon into their hands. Usually the weapon is small, like a pistol, at the beginning. With experience, though, the weapon evolves, becoming bigger and stronger. The choices are endless; a Fractal can choose whatever they want (And I really mean it. Common weapons to extraordinary.) to use when the first initiate that power. However, they cannot change their weapon afterwards; it’s stuck with them for life.
2 – They are granted the ability to communicate with the large animal mechs that roam the land. Not much is known about this ability yet, but there is NO OTHER WAY to communicate with an AM.
Also, being a Fractal is not hereditary. Either you’re born with it, or not.
Death Clan – The mysterious descendants of the original Death. No one knows if they exist or not, but there are theories…Some people believe that they live in the shadows, and steal from the outside world. Some say they know nothing.
People of the Death Clan are different from Fractals. The writing on the back of their hand is pure black, and they have an additional ability…They can control fate. What does that mean? Only a Death Clan member knows…
Being part of the Death Clan is hereditary, as they have the last name of Death. SPOILERS, HIGHLIGHT AT YOUR OWN RISK -
Death Clan Rankings - Yes, as this is a clan, there's rankings within them. I'll edit this when I manage to come up with stuffs for it. But the Clan does have it's spies, warriors, medics, mechanics...Here's some of the biggies:
Head Death - The leader of the entire clan. Anora currently holds this title.
Vice Death - The 2nd in command. The current Vice is Jasmin Death.
Messengers - Short for Messengers of Death, these are the androids working for the Clan. As there are several bases, there is usually a Messenger at each one. The one in the Ruins Base is not known at the moment.
Creatures: Basically, there are some creatures on this planet like the ones on Earth, and there are completely new ones. (So if you want to introduce a new species, tell me about them first.) Also, the planet’s pretty huge, so some of the creatures are larger than the largest on our planet.
Mechs: There are two types of mech. There are the basic, humanoid mechs, in which the Baalthians can use. They’re about 15 feet tall, and are equipped with various guns and melee weapons. They have power, but lack speed. And they cannot have wings.
The second type of mech is the Animal Mechs. These guys are way different because they have their own minds; probably from a stray virus that infected all of them. Most are really ancient; a new AM would be really impossible to see. They have the speed, but are not as strong, and they get a different set of melee weapons. No one has ever been able to ride an AM for a very long time…But Fractals can. Actually, anyone can, but non Fractals and DCs could get hurt. Pretty bad.
Also, size ranges from Zoid-size to the size of an average animal. The smaller ones are more like pets than fighter mechs.
EACH PERSON CAN ONLY HAVE TWO ANIMAL MECHS. ONE OF THE PET-SIZE, ONE USED FOR BATTLE.
Transportation: Transportation ranges from hovercars to hoverboards to jet packs. Let your imagination soar with this.

BIG RULES AND IMPORTANT FACTS: More shall be added if necessary.
1. No having AMs if you have a Fractal/DC at the beginning, plz.
2. People will die, so no complaining.

4. If you’ve got a normal mech, please explain to me in your form how they got it, if they’re not in the military.
5. Explain, if you’ve got an android, how they got free-will, IF they have it. And how they avoided being scrapped.
6. Only Fractals and DCs get super-awesome evolving weapons.
7. Also, beginning Fractals/DCs get a weak weapon. ALWAYS.
