<br />
The Cub-Light Jelly is a fresh water jellyfish, usually only blooming in clean, clear, and warm bodies of water but the microscopic polyps can survive in muddy and silty conditions for a long time. Blooms tend to take place in late spring through mid summer due to temperature needs. When grown to their full adult form the jellies are capable of emitting soft pulses of light (much like a night light to keep a young cub feeling safe) to attract small aquatic life such as very small fish, little fresh-water prawns, and sometimes amphibian young. The jellies then paralyze their prey with a shock and draw them up into their stomachs where the prey is kept paralyzed and slowly digested. While this may sound like a horror show, the jellies are not dangerous to even cubs and kits. Contact may tingle or sting enough to surprise, but there is no lasting damage or danger.<br />
<br />
Observers on land tend to only be able to see the the lights at night, and only when in the water and looking down on a group of jellies during the day. Large blooms can be especially spectacular to watch on a clear summer night because the lake can appear to be a second sky.</div>Renessa47https://www.shivae.org/wiki/index.php?title=File:CyantianMap.jpg&diff=13896File:CyantianMap.jpg2012-11-30T05:22:33Z<p>Renessa47: uploaded a new version of &quot;File:CyantianMap.jpg&quot;: Higher resolution saved from before the wiki crash.

<div>A small bushy plant that produces long, thin, slightly curled yellow peppers of extreme potency. The fruit must be burned in a flame to remove the oils and reduce the heat to usable levels (about habanero). Due to its potency, it is usually grown as a border plant around fields to prevent wandering creatures from coming in and eating the crops.<br />

Following is snatched from http://www.cyantian.net/world/races/immigrant/fox.html so it might need some editing.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
== Biology ==<br />
Males average five-foot-three-inches tall and females average five feet tall. They also have slimmer builds in proportion to their sizes. The Fox have only three fingers and a thumb, making it look as if they are missing a pinky.<br />
<br />
== Psychology ==<br />
The Fox as a whole are not 'evil' in any sense of the word, just curious and too smart for their own good. Most of them would prefer to live their lives as they want to and most do without any limits. The scientists are free to explore any avenue they want to as long as it might benefit the monarchy, at least, that's how it has been for a very long time. <br />
<br />
== Culture ==<br />
A name was an earned title and brought with it wealth and honor. It was something that every Cyantian Fox strove for, to uphold the past. A name was an heirloom passed on through the generations, as priceless as platinum and as long lasting as diamonds.<br />
<br />
Last names are titles, usually bestowed in two ways. There are family line names and then there are personal names. Some names are passed down the female side of the family, some are reserved for only male members of the family. They are 'awarded' by the ruling class, usually the king himself and select members of councils in each village/city.<br />
<br />
They're like a badge in history, marking a family as a line whose parentage has contributed greatly to the past and will continue into the future. They are worthy to be remembered. Having a last/family name at all is a privilege. Most Fox will have a single name and then state an unofficial clan name as their family name, making a distinction in that it is a clan name and not a 'family' name.<br />
<br />
Names are usually unique to the situation. Family names that are to follow a line are ALWAYS unique. Awarded names for valor in battle or contribution involving groups will all be the same, but they identify with that group/contribution by the name.<br />
<br />
The names can also work in a negative way, and if you are caught not using a given name, it is a severely punishable offense. Criminal names were at one time kept for up to two generations of kits following a parent. They'd say their name and what generation they were, but that one is slowly fading.<br />
<br />
The Guttouve are the Gutter Fox, the lowest of those in [[Fox Caste System|the Fox caste system]]. Those are the ones whose desires do not match the colors of the fur they were born into.<br />
<br />
*They do all turn white in the winter though if it's cold. So you'll get a multitude of white foxes in the winter... except for the Black, Silvers and any that have Black, Silver or White lineage. This is among the only two ways to differentiate them by looking at them. The other way is that these three shine if they are pure. They have black or bluish skin. Most fox have white skin.<br />
<br />
The [[:Category:Alpine|Arctic Fox]] and the [[:Category:Fennec|Fennec]] are separate species. There are Arctic Fox which mingle with the northerner column cities and Fennec/Desert Fox who live primarily in the plains and deserts with the Cheetahs. Both are usually very nomadic, the desert variation MUCH more than the northerners. They do not recognize the Vixinte royalty as their ruling class. They recognize no-one. They are capable of interbreeding with regular Fox though.<br />
<br />
There was a difference in Foxes who lived in the city compared to those from the country. City Fox were hardened to their conditions. They were more likely to take bribes and be only concerned with themselves. Country Foxes were softer, a bit naive and they wanted to change the world. Fox guards who take bribes are referred to as 'Black Hands'.<br />
<br />
Being the enforcers of the law, Golds couldn't get away with breaking ANY laws. Other Golds would kill them or punish them themselves. Their job was to enforce the laws without question, and they could lose their names and positions for violating any. ([[Gralen Cragg Hall]], strip 53) Those golds who were street guards were only allowed to bear one litter of kits in the past, and were allowed only 10 years to raise them. (Gralen Cragg Hall, strip 54)<br />
<br />
On courting a female: Basically the male must show that he's a good provider. The female lets you know if she accepts you by accepting all of the gifts given. If she returns even one, you'd best look elsewhere. Courtship is marked by always starting on the first day of the month and lasts for 15 days. You do other things as well - you must let the intended's family know, and have the father and mother's blessing to court. In the case of the Fox, a female will often get a jeweled bracelet or a ring as the final gift and she will wear it to seal her acceptance of a marriage proposal.<br />
<br />
A female who is out and about while [[pheromones|dropping scent]] is often thought poorly of, being nicknamed a Scent Walker, and accused of going around advertising themselves. (Gralen Cragg Hall, strip 70)<br />
<br />
'Vix' is the equivalent title for 'Lady'. It's formal, and all unknown females are introduced by their color, then Vix. Males are referred to as 'Todds' or 'Vulpes'.<br />
<br />
The term 'foxy' is demeaning amongst the Fox. It denotes animal.<br />
<br />
[[Syrys Akaelae]] is considered a war demon by the Fox in their stories about him, often seen on a blood red war horse. [[Danie]] would also be considered an important figure.<br />
<br />
== Politics ==<br />
The Fox people have ever since their first King, a White Fox, followed a [[Fox Caste System|caste system]] in day to day life, wherein, fur color dictates rank and jobs. Higher castes only talk to lower castes to order them around. The lower castes must always obey those higher then they. <br />
<br />
It started when the Fox seperated themselves from the others, in 155. Genetically, they higher Cast colors are superior so that's why it was set up. Genetics of course, don't know good or evil and those in charge originally manipulated it to their advantage. The original leaders didn't quite have the best interests of their people in mind, just themselves. The throne has been tossed back and forth between militant white foxes, red foxes, golds, silvers, black, etc to a point that a white Fox is a preferred ruler, but the throne doesn't know a set caste. Whomever has the gold fox in their hands is who will have the power. If they're smart, they brainwash those below them at a young age, at least, that's how most Fox operate.<br />
Occasionally, you have good leaders, like Medici.<br />
<br />
The ruling class has been known to alter history books in their favor. They’ve done an excellent job of maintaining rule through keeping the lower classes ignorant. They let them learn only what they deem is necessary, and possession of old books telling the truth carries the threat of death if they were ever discovered. Though current books say otherwise, Wolves have never attacked Fox cities unprovoked. Fox on the other hand, have covertly incited engagements and stolen from them. ([[Genoworks Saga]], strip 30)<br />
<br />
The current King, [[Kiet]], is much different from the past, but since the past weighs heavily still on the people's minds. King Kiet's adoptive father (who killed Kiet's real father who was ruler at the time) took over the thrown through coup and the use of the Golden Fox, who moved up in rank to take the top caste just underneath the king himself. Both Kiet and his father are a really dark red with black points (though in Kiet's case, he was dyed). Kiet has a few extra black markings around his eyes. Once Kiet's father took the throne, he called himself a Royal Red Fox and set himself apart from the normal reds. From that point, the system was put into extremes by the Golden Fox who went about to kill off all those elite with white, silver and black fur. (Wasn't very hard, there were only a half dozen white furred fox, a dozen silvers and maybe a hundred or so black fox.) Of course, just killing them off doesn't stop them from being born as any gold fox pair could have any of the three as offspring.<br />
<br />
Kiet's adoptive father was a tyrant and killed his mother before Kiet's eyes when he was a tiny kit barely able to remember it. Family life wasn't that great either, several of his father's other wives and their male kits as they got older kept on trying to kill the king, and take the throne, and were killed for it. Kiet wasn't interested in taking the throne. He didn't want it either, because of all this trouble he saw. *Consequently, he's the first born kit and the ONLY male to live. Among the Fox, the king chooses who succedes him and it's not always a firstborn son.. or a son at all. Queens are equally acceptable.*<br />
<br />
Even though the system is abolished, mental habits die hard. The list in [[Fox Caste System]] is the current standings and the correct standings, although it has been warped as a whole in the past.<br />
<br />
A [[plague]] brought about by the caste has almost all but wiped out the Fox, leaving only a handful in comparison to a mighty kingdom that once was. 99.94 percent of all fox in Vixinte (their capital city) were wiped out. Currently, Fox in general are scattered, with the Fox on Cyantia being pooled together under their new king and future queen, Tira. Uniting them is a horrendous job, one which Princess Tira Wrashoen will be helping out in by marrying King Kiet. Tira is at the Academy to help promote unity among their race and with others.<br />
The main threat to the peace are the Foxes who are NOT on the planet. They're grouping together into a small rebellion to keep the old ways and to continue advancing scientifically in the areas of genetic tampering. All told there are maybe 100,000 fox in existance.<br />
<br />
== Family ==<br />
Births among the Fox, range from 1 to 2 kits equally. Identical twins are very rare. [[Tamera]] had considerably more though.<br />
<br />
When kits are born they generally have a member of their religious order there to witness the birthing. ([[Campus Safari]], strip 404) There is also a representative of each fur color of the fox kits to be born present to become Kimala, or Godparents, of the kits of their color. If not possible by color, the mother will choose someone to take the role. The Kimala is expected to take part in the kit's life and be a role model for it. (Campus Safari, strip 408)<br />
<br />
The delivery tends to be easy and quick provided the mother is calm and relaxed. (Campus Safari, strip 405) There are few complications due to the kits being small. (Campus Safari, strip 406)<br />
<br />
Traditionally, the husband helps with the delivery of the first kit. (Campus Safari, strip 406) The rest of the kits are delivered by fur color if possible. (Campus Safari, strip 408)<br />
<br />
There is a tradition as well of a live-in midwife remaining with the family for a few months to help care for the babies after home delivery. (Campus Safari, strip 406) They tend to be run ragged. <br />
<br />
Two fox of the same color will most likely have the same color of kits as they are, but it goes back several generations and there are more than two genes that determine fox coloration. ANY different colors within the past ten generations can show up in the current generation.<br />
<br />
It's possible for the kit of two golds to have a blue brother. While in service, golds will strictly marry other golds, but outside of it they could choose any manner of mate, not to mention that there's always that handful that doesn't listen and produces illegitimate cubs, which could parent offspring with an infusion of different genes, that would still be a gold.<br />
<br />
Of the elite colors, only Black Fox tend to dye their fur. They are considered the most dangerous and actually are the most numerous. They have a strong fear that their kits might be kitnapped.<br />
<br />
== Technology ==<br />
Foxes tend to lag a short distance behind the Wolves in most fields, because most of their technology is in fact stolen from the Wolves.[https://twitter.com/ShivaeStudios/status/273222677261594625] The one area where they uniformly surpass the Wolves is in genetic enhancement mainly because the Wolves don't ALLOW the experimentation that goes on with the Fox. The foxes have created wildly inappropriate things with their genetic labs. <br />
As bad as Exotica Genoworks is, they don't create for the purposes of a pleasure pet. Of course, enforcing that is something they don't do because they can't. They just don't intend them to be used for those purposes. They're weird, they have no qualms about playing with genetic codes, but do have a sense of what's right and wrong. They consider it O.K. for someone to enslave another for a short period of time as long as they don't actually 'own' them and they are guaranteed that their product will not be violated. They're genetic artists, and they tend to believe that art is best seen and not touched.<br />
The Fox are also the masters of the techno-mages. They've perfected the use of a small mobile fusion reactor as an additional weapon and a very useful one at that. <br />
Fox Guards are typically armed with swords and control rods. Those on assignment, or traveling in dangerous regions will be equiped with energy bows.<br />
<br />
== Miscellaneous ==<br />
Most fox did not travel through the woods that lie between Vixinte and [[:Category:Mounty|Mounty]] territory due to the rumored [[:Category:Exotica Genoworks|Genoworks]] monsters that roam them from the old days. (In truth, they do exist, but tend to leave you alone unless you threaten them.) The journey through the woods takes about a week on [[:Category:Equis|horseback]]. (Gralen Cragg Hall, strip 56)<br />
<br />
Old wars and constant upheaval have made the Fox of Vixinte apathetic to change. They accept it and live, knowing tomorrow may see yet another coup and ruler. (Gralen Cragg Hall, strip 49)<br />
<br />
By the time of [[Akaelae]], no black fox had been seen on Cyantia for 10 years. (Akaelae, strip 75)<br />
<br />
Fox in general don't seems to like [[:Category:Whips|Whips]], but do make use of [[:Category:Gryphon|Gryphons]] and [[:Category:Shivae|Shivae]]. (Akaelae, strip 531) Possibly because they're commonly used as [[Technofamiliar|Familiars]] by [[Technomage|Fox Technomages]], who are at odds with the Fox Government and do their own thing. (Akaelae, strip 532)<br />
<br />
Black Fox must learn to release their energy properly, not doing so will result in a heart attack or aneurism. Typically the parents teach them basic control techniques for it.(Akaelae, strip 637) There had been so many generations of tradition of training Black Fox no one remembered what would happen if one was not. Those in the [[:Category:Mounty|Mounty]] Holds and Halls were all trained, but when Black Fox were being hunted, a few parents held out of the training thinking the children would not be targeted if they did not display abilities, resulting in their deaths when they became young adults and their abilities manifested. (Akaelae, strip 663)<br />
<br />
It's common among Fox to use heavily scented armor that disguises the bearer's normal scent.<br />
<br />
During the reign of [[Parin]] they would hold a Liberty Festival, which was a week long festival to celebrate the tenth year of freedom from the previous Red Fox Dictatorship, and the benevolent reign of the new kings and queens. The streets would be filled with good food, music, and a general feeling of well being. ([[Gralen Cragg Hall]], strip 1)<br />
<br />
Royalty tended to reside in the Crystal Square, which was Vixinte's finest castle. (Gralen Cragg Hall, strip 2)<br />
<br />

<div>[[Category:Fox]]<br />
<br />
The plague was worse than the bubonic plague was for Europe since that only had a 75% death toll. At the start of '[[The Underground]]', [[Kiet|Prince Kiet]] come back to Vixinte and find it deserted save for seven survivors. As the capitol city, Vixinte likely had a population in the hundreds of thousands if not millions. <br />
<br />
The plague was genetically engineered, but got away on them, and any natural immunity to the plague was at such a low occurrence (~0.2%) as to be virtually useless to the survival of the species (natural immunity was though... overrated, as they would just die of blood loss and infection, if they survived the attacks anyway.) Due to the previous regime's ruthless nature, it wouldn't be hard to believe that quarantine methods including 'shoot-on-sight' orders would have been employed, therefore it is safe to conclude that the plague was nearly impossible to quarantine.<br />
<br />
The Plague appeared first in heavily populated area with bad sanitation. The plague was found in the urine, blood and saliva of its victims, and unlike popular beliefs, it was not airborne. However, simply being coughed on and coming in contact with the fine saliva mist exhaled in coughing and sneezing would be enough to infect another. The virus would incubate for about 48 hours before symptoms would begin to show.[https://twitter.com/ShivaeStudios/status/273227466481475585] First stages are unknown at the moment, but in the last stage the [[:Category:Fox|Fox]] turned feral, and lashed out in violence towards anyone they saw. Only Fox were affected by the Plague. The ferals would be described now as fast moving zombies by Humans. Once the chain began, it ran quickly through the city center. The final phase of the Plague was that the ferals lost eventually coordination to the point of immobilization, and they died painfully from high fever.[https://twitter.com/ShivaeStudios/status/273227775094177793] As most of the Fox population was in Vixinte, the fox almost went extinct, and would have been uncoordinated, but because of Prince Kiet's absence during the plague, he could bring together his kingdom.<br />
<br />
The weeks following the plague must have been a truly hellish nightmare with massive urban expanses turned into giant, stinking mausoleums. Imagine the fear in the hearts of country folk as word reaches them the only safe way possible - in the form of broadcasts by Foxes who know they are going to die. Some country Foxes don't even monitor broadcasts, so they'd need to hear from neighbors. Hopefully the plague will have died out by then or else they too will suffer and possibly spread it further. Imagine the reactions of the other races to the news and the speculation about whether any Foxes survived at all. Most of all, imagine how this would affect even the overly curious Blue Foxes opinions of biological weapons. <br />
<br />
After the Plague, the [[:Category:Irincos|Irincos]] led a full scale invasion into fox territory as the Fox were still trying to pull themselves together. Prince Kiet formed a quick alliance with the other races in order to drive them away from the Fox territory and from Cyantzium.<br />

; Name : Sine, Khaelis<br />
; [[:Category:Cyantian Species|Species]] : [[:Category:Fox|Gold Fox]] (Genetic Elite)<br />
; Gender : Male<br />
; Appearance : Gold and white fur with black markings on muzzle and tips of ears. Dark red hair.<br />

; Family : [[Murai]] (stepsister)<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
This Gold Fox was first introduced into the strip when he tried to give [[Jules]] a full body search when she set off the alarms.[http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=180] For this, he was beaten up (kickboxed into a wall, receiving a couple of smashed ribs, dislocated shoulder, and smack to the head) to show her objections. Then to add insult to injury, he was later forced to be her shadow (this was due to the fact that [[Cesilee]] hacked into the security systems to make it look as if the order came from a superior).[http://cyantian.net/cdiary/?p=37] Unfortunately, [[Darius Akaelae|Darius]] would find out about his new mission - and find it amusing, so ordered him to follow when Jules went into Vixen's Secrets. [http://cyantian.net/cdiary/?p=44] It would be this action that would end up having him face an act that Cyantians, especially of dog heritage, consider offensive.<br />
<br />
Jules would tease Khaelis with catnip and end up discovering that some Foxes are just as affected by it as Mounties are.[http://cyantian.net/cdiary/?p=49] She would get an evil idea and forced Khaelis to strip naked and play fetch with him while he was under the influence (a female [[:Category:Rabbit|rabbit]] and [[:Category:Mouse|mouse]] would join her later on to do the same thing). For a while it would look as if things are going well. Until Darius catches them. Unlike Jules, he was not amused by Khaelis's antics. He berates the confused fox and orders him to report to [[Rayne]], who then fires Khaelis for not revealing his weakness to catnip.<br />
<br />
A chapter image of the Campus Safari comic seems to suggest that he has become obsessed with revenge against Jules.<br />
<br />
Khaelis was very sad, to put it lightly. He was not only fired from security detail, but was suspended from schooling since it was dependent on a scholarship he received for being in security. Then to make a bad day worse, he was targeted by a group of [[Technomage]] students - and even Darius would say they went too far. [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=615] They would strip him, dye his fur with pink and green spots [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=616] and give him a poodle cut. [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=618] It did have a bright side, as their going too far with him had Darius take pity and review his file. [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=619]<br />
<br />
It has been revealed that Khaelis can cook much better than he can provide security detail [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=634] and just might be allowed to become a cook in the Mars Academy kitchen provided he can create an excellent meal for Darius to surprise Sheana with. [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=636]<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
=== Known characteristics ===<br />
*Has a bit of a passive-aggressive personality and does not handle pressure very well.[http://cyantian.net/cdiary/?p=36] This may be the reason for his clumsiness. It is possible that he subconsciously dislikes his work and it manifests itself in his clumsiness (ironically, he always wanted to be in security).<br />
*Responds to catnip. [http://cyantian.net/cdiary/?p=49]<br />
<br />
*Always manages to wind up in the medical sector, even after doing a good job (Darius had since stopped being updated due to the commonality of his situation). [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=422]<br />
<br />
*He is by-the-book and rigid in his schedule: every day, he is up at 5:00 AM, works out for half an hour with the other recruits,[http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=575] eats breakfast at exactly 6:15 AM, then reports for duty.[http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=576]<br />
<br />
*High-strung and no-nonsense. Dislikes being teased.<br />
<br />
*Khaelis was removed from security for not disclosing information on his susceptability to catnip, and he's on a type of scholarship which depends on his security work. <br />
<br />
*The type of name Khaelis has is probably something that means "Chaotic Good Intentions"<br />
<br />
*His culinary rating is superior to his security rating (Culinary Rating 4, Security Rating 1 - under Culinary he received a 6 in Presentation, 5 in Design, 6 in Food Preparation, 1 in Standard Training.) [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=633]<br />
<br />
<br />
*Holds grudges.<br />
<br />
=== Miscellaneous ===<br />
* Khaelis appears first stopping [[Jules]] after a detector sounds off and has to perform a full body search. He is beaten up by Jules and later patched up by [[Ciphyr]] [http://www.cyantian.net/csafari/archive.php?day=20010405]<br />
<br />
* First appeared in [[Cesilee's Diary]] in a profile being researched by [[Cesilee]] for someone to go against Jules. [http://cyantian.net/cdiary/?p=36] She sent him a tmail to make him escort Jules hoping to punish Jules. [http://cyantian.net/cdiary/?p=37]<br />
* Instead, Jules spent the time tormenting Khaelis, including such activities as stepping on the tail of the gryphon he was petting to make it bite him,[[http://cyantian.net/cdiary/?p=42]] and dragging him to a female store.<br />
* Is ten years younger than [[Darius Akaelae]]. [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=618]<br />
* Joined security because his sister Murai did; [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=634] he promised he'd look after his younger sister and there wasn't aid for students entering culinary fields at Mars Academy. [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=635]<br />
** Was in security as a personal choice, and did not fit his profile at all. Cuisine tested as his specialty. [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=634]<br />
* His mother is a master chef. [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=636]<br />
* Is a genetic elite. The first time we see this is [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=696 here] where we see his black skin; a common trait of elites.<br />
* May not be familiar with courtship procedures (at least Wolfen), mistaking the special rings Darius had left to be presented at dinner with napkin rings. [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=697]<br />
<br />
* First appeared in [[No Angel]] as Jules' specially assigned jailer when she was arrested upon her return from Earth, [http://cyantian.net/noangel/?p=378] though Murai suggested it might be otherwise. [http://cyantian.net/noangel/?p=379]<br />

<br />
== Biography ==<br />
[[Image:Purple darrik.jpg|right]]<br />
Born on Cyantia and raised on Earth, he knew of life on Cyantia only through what his family would tell him. This was due to his family fleeing through the warpgate (the door of light as they referred to it) to escape from the Gold Fox. He was an infant at this time (and at age 13 he was 10 years older than the last reported black fox sighting on Cyantia).[http://cyantian.net/?p=381] They would settle in the swamp unbeknowst to the rest of humanity save for the locals who kept them safe.<br />
<br />
In Akaelae, he becomes trapped on Cyantia after encountering a Gold Fox named [[Filaire]] who just happened to be out in the swamp that fateful night,[http://cyantian.net/?p=97] with [[Rama Tibal|Rama]] lurking in the background.[http://cyantian.net/?p=98] She captures Darrik and takes him through the warpgate where he manages to escape and wind up in Centralis.[http://cyantian.net/?p=107] A few months later, after a short adventure, he gets caught by [[Darius Akaelae|Darius]] as he sleeps in Darius' hideout.[http://cyantian.net/?p=203] He is taken to Akaelae Towers, and Syrys would suggest he stay until he was 15, [http://cyantian.net/?p=220] and given a room on the Trinid floor (though others call it the Secrets Floor)[http://cyantian.net/?p=224], where he is set up with [[Lucas]] as his roommate.[http://cyantian.net/?p=253] He does not seem to like his roommate very much, and thinks he talks too much about nothing.[http://cyantian.net/?p=308] Later, after Lucas falls asleep, Darrik sneaks out for a nighttime adventure. He is amazed by the wonders in Akaelae Towers, and wonders if the fox cities are anything like it.[http://cyantian.net/?p=309] He would see [[Jasmine]] passing, before Quinn distracted him, [http://cyantian.net/?p=314] then find a letter and trinket left for him by Jasmine. [http://cyantian.net/?p=317]<br />
<br />
Syrys would arrange for him to be tutored in Cyantian Common Language and Wolven by [[Crissy]]. [http://cyantian.net/?p=384] Knowing he would be changing rooms, he decided to seek Jasmine out [http://cyantian.net/?p=446] since she had reached out to him, and mistaking her for a white fox who was as rare as he was. [http://cyantian.net/?p=447] Once he talked to her, he would be a bit shocked by her attitude towards the wolves in the Tower. [http://cyantian.net/?p=463]<br />
<br />
Later on a trip to Gralen Cragg he would meet [[Tira]], a real white fox. [http://cyantian.net/?p=575]<br />
<br />
In Campus Safari, and a brief introduction in Sink or Swim, he is now married to Tamera and becomes a father to a litter of four kits that she births during a birthing ceremony.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
=== Known characteristics ===<br />
[[Image:Gold darrik.jpg|right]]<br />
* Like all Fox, he is inquisitive. This is what compelled him to check out the light and other activity that fateful night in Akaelae and get him captured.[http://cyantian.net/?p=95]<br />
* He was 13 Earth years old at the time he came to Cyantia (as well as 5'3" and 140 lbs), [[Syrys Akaelae]] suggests he stay with them until he turns 15. [http://cyantian.net/?p=220]<br />
<br />
=== Known traits and abilities ===<br />
* Like all Black Fox, he seems to have the ability to control energy and convert it from one state to another, such as lightening bolts and energy blasts. However, during [[Akaelae]] he is oblivious to this ability and is yet to understand it.<br />
**[http://cyantian.net/?p=945 First teleport]<br />
**[http://cyantian.net/?p=1016 First use of energy blast], which left him wiped out afterwards. [http://cyantian.net/?p=1022]<br />
* He first displays a reactive manipulation of energy in a fight against a "demon horse" which is later revealed to be an advanced type of technomage familiar. [http://cyantian.net/?p=1016]<br />
* Mercial reveals to Syrys, later on while Darrik isn't present, that he is in danger of dying if he doesn't learn to control and release the energy associated with his ability. [http://cyantian.net/?p=1150]<br />
<br />
=== Miscellaneous ===<br />
* Darrik grew up among his own kind. They all speak Khasi. But he was around a small population of fox who pretty much speak Khasi/Rusiet because it's their native language and the older ones don't see much point in learning anything else, although they DO know quite a bit of english,... and probably french. He did have human friends though, such as Josh and Cari whom he was out fishing with when they ran across Filaire.[http://cyantian.net/?p=94]<br />
* Darrik isn't used to such a differentation between fox and non-fox like [[Jasmine]] used [http://www.cyantian.net/akaelae/archive.php?day=20070323 here]. Even though he's been given a general warning about Cyantians, it's only to avoid foxes that he doesn't know of a certain color,[http://cyantian.net/?p=369] not all of them, like family members who happen to be gold. They've pretty much started an entirely new society on Earth.<br />
*His parents were all palace guards before their exodus to earth.<br />
*Claims not to be an artist.<br />
*His first [[Akaelae]] appearance was him hiding beneath the Transitional School the others were attending. [http://cyantian.net/?p=91] He was fearful of staying in the city, but the city held the only [[:Category:Gates|light]] that could take him home. [http://cyantian.net/?p=93] He would flee the tunnels when Collin discovered him, and later brought Darius and the others to investigate. [http://cyantian.net/?p=127] Quinn would later spy him in the park, [http://cyantian.net/?p=146] and sensing he was hungry, she would swipe Darius' lunch [http://cyantian.net/?p=151] and give it to him. [http://cyantian.net/?p=153] After eating he would have a run around town, looking for a new place, and ended up in Darius' play house. [http://cyantian.net/?p=198]<br />
*Lucas introduced him to [[Chai]], [[Sylvan]], [[Quio]], and [[Amber]]. [http://cyantian.net/?p=261]<br />
*Received a letter and trinket from [[Jasmine]] [http://cyantian.net/?p=320], and apparently thinks she's beautiful.<br />
*Is apparently not fluent in written Khasi [http://cyantian.net/?p=321]<br />
*Possibly has siblings named Bayli and Rubin [http://cyantian.net/?p=322]<br />
*Had his fur died to disguise himself as a gold fox during Akaelae so that his black fur wouldn't draw unwanted attention from other foxes. (Gold was the color that won the auction, among the other natural fox colors was also purple, which was later revealed that if it had won would have been a transitional color fading into blue)[http://cyantian.net/?p=420]<br />
**Later had a purple transitional phase going into gold. [http://cyantian.net/?p=550]<br />
*He was too young to remember any of the journey when he first travelled to Earth. [http://cyantian.net/?p=381]<br />
*Was tricked by Lucas into eating Digni food, which is bugs. [http://cyantian.net/?p=419]<br />
<br />
*First introduced as passenger picked up by the roo ship in Florida along with [[Rayne]] and his wife [[Tamera]] in [[Sink or Swim]]. [http://cyantian.net/sinkswim/?p=71]<br />
<br />
*First appeared in [[Campus Safari]] standing with [[Tamera]] for the birth of their cubs. [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=423]<br />
*He helped with the delivery of the first kit, as according to custom. [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=428] The one he held was black. [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=430]<br />
<br />
*Darrik was originally adopted by Celina's mother. In the original stories.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''14<sup>th</sup> Variation of a Theme on Mars''' is a fanfiction series written by Renessa (or renessa47) centering around a fictional group of students and teachers at Mars Academy in the music department. Specifically Talon Midael, Ellia Quint, Soida Hopea, Sriek Denae, and Lacern Helos are the characters that make up the main cast. However, many characters from [[Campus Safari]] make appearances, as well as cameos from other [[MARPG]] characters (Soida is a registered character in the RPG, and Talon is an owned NPC). The story takes place sometime within and after the current incarnation of [[Campus Safari]], but the exact time frame isn't clear.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE!''' The series is marked with a mature content warning (as well as a more specific warning for each episode), and should likely not be read by people under the age of 14.<br />

== Status ==<br />
<br />
Incomplete but currently updating. Episodes are uploaded to a [http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=810.0 thread] in the [http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php Cyantian Chronicles Forum], but are also mirrored on Renessa47's DeviantArt [http://renessa47.deviantart.com/gallery/#Literature account]. There is no update schedule, and no planned end as of yet (although there are up to 16 with solid plans for them, and ideas after that); episodes simply come out when they do.<br />
<br />
== Characters ==<br />
<br />
'''Talon Midael'''[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=403.msg15340#msg15340]: A 22 year old male [[wolf]], standing at 7'7" with mahogany brown fur and light coffee-colored markings. However, he has his hair dyed flaming red with yellow bleached tips; which is also short for a male wolf, only reaching the middle of his back. He usually isn't seen far from his guitar or leather jacket, and the heavy influence from the recordings of Earth Rock available on Mars has him aspiring to be a Cyantian rockstar. His history is mostly covered in episode 7, with a few tidbits scattered before then.<br />
<br />
'''Soida Hopea'''[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=403.0]: A 31 year old female blue [[fox]]. She's 5'2" and a little chubby, but not unattractively so. Her fur is a particularly dark ocean blue with an icy blue underside. Her right hand is the lighter blue, while her other hand and both feet are black. From a childhood accident, her tail is a little shorter than most fox and comes to a poofy blunt end with just a little bit of black. Her face is devoid of any markings but her ears are black tipped, each of which has a small silver stud earring near the top. Most of her black hair she keeps very short (maybe five inches long all around) except for the shoulder length bangs that frame her face. Her eyes are a very dark brown. She was born deaf and after her parents left the fox lands just before the plague, a generous old wolf became the family sponsor and paid for bionic implants to allow her to hear. Because she received them around the age of 9, she still has a very choked and gutural sounding voice and still sees a speech therapist by choice. Her last name ''Hopea'' is adopted, by permission, from the kindly old wolf ''Adilis Hopea''.<br />
<br />
Soida has three younger brothers: red twins Alku and Lintu, and the orange youngest Palikko. They make an appearance in the story as well.<br />
<br />
'''Ellia Quint''': A 21 year old female liger [[mounty]], standing at 6'8" with dark red fur and sporadic tan striping. Her hair is that same tawny color, and kept long with bangs. Her eyes are red-brown and slightly slanted. She's specializing in percussion within the music program, but has a knack for song writing as well, and doesn't really have a set idea of what she wants to do when she graduates outside of it being something musical. Her history will be covered in the series.<br />
<br />
'''Sriek Denae'''[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=869.0]: A 28 year old red and gold female [[wolf]] who keeps herself in very good shape due to her history in show business and stands at 7'9". Since childhood she's kept her golden hair very long; although it's at it's longest yet while at Mars, reaching down to her calves. Most of her is red, but her face is covered in a heart shaped marking of gold that trails down her neck and then out again across her chest. The tips of her fingers are gold, and the bottom of her feet with mottled pink and black pads. Her eyes are dark amber with thick brown lashes. If she comes out the door in the morning without more than six pieces of jewelry on, you can be sure there is something wrong. She's always decked out in something, usually matching sets she's gotten her hands on, or commissioned, and usually bells and hand pounded coins are featured to add a little music to her walk. Her clothes tend to be something figure-accentuating and sexy, even while she works but she does stay modestly covered while teaching. Sriek was a child star who turned her back on the entertainment industry in her teens when people she trusted betrayed her. She turned to teaching voice and also functions as a part time private speech therapist to any one who is referred by her current clients.<br />
<br />
'''Lacern Helos''': A 33 year old male gold [[fox]]; a little tall for his species at a little over 5'4". He's light gold over all, with cream mask-like and tear-stain markings. His chest, hands, and feet are also cream, but his hair is a darker and more orange-gold. The end of his tail is a band of cream ending in white. He tends to wear a mish-mash of high end, expensive clothes, and older home-made and somewhat ragged items. He starts out as the in-house vet at Soida's brother's business, but when they come to Mars to look into opening a second shop there, he decides to apply for a teaching position and allow one of his apprentices back on Cyantian to be promoted. His history is covered in episode 6.<br />
<br />
=== Minor Characters ===<br />
<br />
'''Jakerd''': A huge, black, male [[wolf]] who is also a final year music major, friend to Talon and Ellia, and one of Talon's room mates.<br />
<br />
'''Herad''': A somewhat short, gray male [[wolf]] from a rich background; also a final year music major, more Talon's friend than Ellia's, and Talon's third roommate.<br />
<br />
'''Fejin Majinai'''[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=690.0]: A male [[taboa]], one of Soida's favorite students and a second year music major. Also a registered character in the [[MARPG]].<br />
<br />
'''Tern''': A female snow leopard [[mounty]], majoring in Lift Mechanics, and one of Ellia's roommates.<br />

<br />
Episodes usually span a few significant days in the life of some of the characters, and hop in between groups as things happen. There can be long breaks of time in between the happenings of each episode, but there is no standard. Usually the lives of the teachers and students are separate, but sometimes collide in academic and nonacademic settings. All of the major student characters are final year music majors, and both Soida and Sriek are music professors, but Lacern (who was a later addition and didn't appear in the first few episodes) is a new teacher in the Veterinary program.<br />

<div>Genoworks Saga is meant to be a conglomeration of stories following misc. characters at a young age, prior to [[Akaelae]]. It takes place in other areas besides the [[:Category:Wolf|wolf]] cities, although there are a few wolf stories as well. The primary characters are the escaped [[:Category:Exotica Genoworks|Genoworks]] projects and Syke's heavily considering adding more of the evil Fox we know so little of... like [[Toni]] and [[Fairfax]]... and [[Filaire]]. [[Prequel]] is supposed to be covered in more detail, and the beginnings of the fox plague will also be chronicled. The [[Three Sisters]] will also make a more significant appearance than just being mentioned.<br />

Incomplete but currently updating. Episodes are uploaded to a [http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=810.0 thread] in the [http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php Cyantian Chronicles Forum], but are also mirrored on Renessa47's DeviantArt [http://renessa47.deviantart.com/gallery/#Literature account]. There is no update schedule, and no planned end as of yet (although there are up to 12 with solid plans for them, and ideas after that); episodes simply come out when they do.<br />
<br />
== Characters ==<br />
<br />
'''Talon Midael'''[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=403.msg15340#msg15340]: A 22 year old male wolf, standing at 7'7" with mahogany brown fur and light coffee-colored markings. However, he has his hair dyed flaming red with yellow bleached tips; which is also short for a male wolf, only reaching the middle of his back. He usually isn't seen far from his guitar or leather jacket, and the heavy influence from the recordings of Earth Rock available on Mars has him aspiring to be a Cyantian rockstar. His history will be covered in the series.<br />
<br />
'''Soida Hopea'''[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=403.0]: A 31 year old female blue fox. She's 5'2" and a little chubby, but not unattractively so. Her fur is a particularly dark ocean blue with an icy blue underside. Her right hand is the lighter blue, while her other hand and both feet are black. From a childhood accident, her tail is a little shorter than most fox and comes to a poofy blunt end with just a little bit of black. Her face is devoid of any markings but her ears are black tipped, each of which has a small silver stud earring near the top. Most of her black hair she keeps very short (maybe five inches long all around) except for the shoulder length bangs that frame her face. Her eyes are a very dark brown. She was born deaf and after her parents left the fox lands just before the plague, a generous old wolf became the family sponsor and paid for bionic implants to allow her to hear. Because she received them around the age of 9, she still has a very choked and gutural sounding voice and still sees a speech therapist by choice. Her last name ''Hopea'' is adopted, by permission, from the kindly old wolf ''Adilis Hopea''.<br />
<br />
Soida has three younger brothers: red twins Alku and Lintu, and the orange youngest Palikko. They make an appearance in the story as well.<br />
<br />
'''Ellia Quint''': A 21 year old female liger mounty, standing at 6'8" with dark red fur and sporadic tan striping. Her hair is that same tawny color, and kept long with bangs. Her eyes are red-brown and slightly slanted. She's specializing in percussion within the music program, but has a knack for song writing as well, and doesn't really have a set idea of what she wants to do when she graduates outside of it being something musical. Her history will be covered in the series.<br />
<br />
'''Sriek Denae'''[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=869.0]: A 28 year old red and gold female wolf who keeps herself in very good shape due to her history in show business and stands at 7'9". Since childhood she's kept her golden hair very long; although it's at it's longest yet while at Mars, reaching down to her calves. Most of her is red, but her face is covered in a heart shaped marking of gold that trails down her neck and then out again across her chest. The tips of her fingers are gold, and the bottom of her feet with mottled pink and black pads. Her eyes are dark amber with thick brown lashes. If she comes out the door in the morning without more than six pieces of jewelry on, you can be sure there is something wrong. She's always decked out in something, usually matching sets she's gotten her hands on, or commissioned, and usually bells and hand pounded coins are featured to add a little music to her walk. Her clothes tend to be something figure-accentuating and sexy, even while she works but she does stay modestly covered while teaching. Sriek was a child star who turned her back on the entertainment industry in her teens when people she trusted betrayed her. She turned to teaching voice and also functions as a part time private speech therapist to any one who is referred by her current clients.<br />
<br />
'''Lacern Helos''': A 33 year old male gold fox; a little tall for his species at a little over 5'4". He's light gold over all, with cream mask-like and tear-stain markings. His chest, hands, and feet are also cream, but his hair is a darker and more orange-gold. The end of his tail is a band of cream ending in white. He tends to wear a mish-mash of high end, expensive clothes, and older home-made and somewhat ragged items. He starts out as the in-house vet at Soida's brother's business, but when they come to Mars to look into opening a second shop there, he decides to apply for a teaching position and allow one of his apprentices back on Cyantian to be promoted. His history will be covered in the series.<br />
<br />
=== Minor Characters ===<br />
<br />
'''Jakerd''': A huge, black, male wolf who is also a final year music major, friend to Talon and Ellia, and one of Talon's room mates.<br />
<br />
'''Herad''': A somewhat short, gray male wolf from a rich background; also a final year music major, more Talon's friend than Ellia's, and Talon's third roommate.<br />
<br />
'''Fejin Majinai'''[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=690.0]: A male taboa, one of Soida's favorite students and a second year music major. Also a registered character in the [[MARPG]].<br />
<br />
'''Tern''': A female snow leopard mounty, majoring in Lift Mechanics, and one of Ellia's roommates.<br />

<br />
== Biography ==<br />
[[Image:Purple darrik.jpg|right]]<br />
Born on Cyantia and raised on Earth, he knew of life on Cyantia only through what his family would tell him. This was due to his family fleeing through the warpgate (the door of light as they referred to it) to escape from the Gold Fox. He was an infant at this time (and at age 13 he was 10 years older than the last reported black fox sighting on Cyantia).[http://www.cyantian.net/akaelae/archive.php?day=20060619] They would settle in the swamp unbeknowst to the rest of humanity save for the locals who kept them safe.<br />
<br />
In Akaelae, he becomes trapped on Cyantia after encountering a Gold Fox named [[Filaire]] who just happened to be out in the swamp that fateful night,[http://cyantian.net/?p=97] with [[Rama Tibal|Rama]] lurking in the background.[http://cyantian.net/?p=98] She captures Darrik and takes him through the warpgate where he manages to escape and wind up in Centralis.[http://cyantian.net/?p=107] A few months later, after a short adventure, he gets caught by [[Darius Akaelae|Darius]] as he sleeps in Darius' hideout.[http://cyantian.net/?p=203] He is taken to Akaelae Towers, and Syrys would suggest he stay until he was 15, [http://cyantian.net/?p=220] and given a room on the Trinid floor (though others call it the Secrets Floor)[http://cyantian.net/?p=224], where he is set up with [[Lucas]] as his roommate.[http://cyantian.net/?p=253] He does not seem to like his roommate very much, and thinks he talks too much about nothing.[http://cyantian.net/?p=308] Later, after Lucas falls asleep, Darrik sneaks out for a nighttime adventure. He is amazed by the wonders in Akaelae Towers, and wonders if the fox cities are anything like it.[http://cyantian.net/?p=309] He would see [[Jasmine]] passing, before Quinn distracted him, [http://cyantian.net/?p=314] then find a letter and trinket left for him by Jasmine. [http://cyantian.net/?p=317]<br />
<br />
Syrys would arrange for him to be tutored in Cyantian Common Language and Wolven by [[Crissy]]. [http://cyantian.net/?p=384] Knowing he would be changing rooms, he decided to seek Jasmine out [http://cyantian.net/?p=446] since she had reached out to him, and mistaking her for a white fox who was as rare as he was. [http://cyantian.net/?p=447] Once he talked to her, he would be a bit shocked by her attitude towards the wolves in the Tower. [http://cyantian.net/?p=463]<br />
<br />
Later on a trip to Gralen Cragg he would meet [[Tira]], a real white fox. [http://cyantian.net/?p=575]<br />
<br />
In Campus Safari, and a brief introduction in Sink or Swim, he is now married to Tamera and becomes a father to a litter of four kits that she births during a birthing ceremony.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
=== Known characteristics ===<br />
[[Image:Gold darrik.jpg|right]]<br />
* Like all Fox, he is inquisitive. This is what compelled him to check out the light and other activity that fateful night in Akaelae and get him captured.[http://cyantian.net/?p=95]<br />
* He was 13 Earth years old at the time he came to Cyantia (as well as 5'3" and 140 lbs), [[Syrys Akaelae]] suggests he stay with them until he turns 15. [http://cyantian.net/?p=220]<br />
<br />
=== Known traits and abilities ===<br />
* Like all Black Fox, he seems to have the ability to control energy and convert it from one state to another, such as lightening bolts and energy blasts. However, during [[Akaelae]] he is oblivious to this ability and is yet to understand it.<br />
* He first displays a reactive manipulation of energy in a fight against a "demon horse" which is later revealed to be an advanced type of technomage familiar. [http://cyantian.net/?p=1016]<br />
* Mercial reveals to Syrys, later on while Darrik isn't present, that he is in danger of dying if he doesn't learn to control and release the energy associated with his ability. [http://cyantian.net/?p=1150]<br />
<br />
=== Miscellaneous ===<br />
* Darrik grew up among his own kind. They all speak Khasi. But he was around a small population of fox who pretty much speak Khasi/Rusiet because it's their native language and the older ones don't see much point in learning anything else, although they DO know quite a bit of english,... and probably french. He did have human friends though, such as Josh and Cari whom he was out fishing with when they ran across Filaire.[http://cyantian.net/?p=94]<br />
* Darrik isn't used to such a differentation between fox and non-fox like [[Jasmine]] used [http://www.cyantian.net/akaelae/archive.php?day=20070323 here]. Even though he's been given a general warning about Cyantians, it's only to avoid foxes that he doesn't know of a certain color,[http://cyantian.net/?p=369] not all of them, like family members who happen to be gold. They've pretty much started an entirely new society on Earth.<br />
*His parents were all palace guards before their exodus to earth.<br />
*Claims not to be an artist.<br />
*His first [[Akaelae]] appearance was him hiding beneath the Transitional School the others were attending. [http://cyantian.net/?p=91] He was fearful of staying in the city, but the city held the only [[:Category:Gates|light]] that could take him home. [http://cyantian.net/?p=93] He would flee the tunnels when Collin discovered him, and later brought Darius and the others to investigate. [http://cyantian.net/?p=127] Quinn would later spy him in the park, [http://cyantian.net/?p=146] and sensing he was hungry, she would swipe Darius' lunch [http://cyantian.net/?p=151] and give it to him. [http://cyantian.net/?p=153] After eating he would have a run around town, looking for a new place, and ended up in Darius' play house. [http://cyantian.net/?p=198]<br />
*Lucas introduced him to [[Chai]], [[Sylvan]], [[Quio]], and [[Amber]]. [http://cyantian.net/?p=261]<br />
*Received a letter and trinket from [[Jasmine]] [http://cyantian.net/?p=320], and apparently thinks she's beautiful.<br />
*Is apparently not fluent in written Khasi [http://cyantian.net/?p=321]<br />
*Possibly has siblings named Bayli and Rubin [http://cyantian.net/?p=322]<br />
*Had his fur died to disguise himself as a gold fox during Akaelae so that his black fur wouldn't draw unwanted attention from other foxes. (Gold was the color that won the auction, among the other natural fox colors was also purple, which was later revealed that if it had won would have been a transitional color fading into blue)[http://cyantian.net/?p=420]<br />
**Later had a purple transitional phase going into gold. [http://cyantian.net/?p=550]<br />
*He was too young to remember any of the journey when he first travelled to Earth. [http://cyantian.net/?p=381]<br />
*Was tricked by Lucas into eating Digni food, which is bugs. [http://cyantian.net/?p=419]<br />
<br />
*First introduced as passenger picked up by the roo ship in Florida along with [[Rayne]] and his wife [[Tamera]] in [[Sink or Swim]]. [http://cyantian.net/sinkswim/?p=71]<br />
<br />
*First appeared in [[Campus Safari]] standing with [[Tamera]] for the birth of their cubs. [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=423]<br />
*He helped with the delivery of the first kit, as according to custom. [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=428] The one he held was black. [http://cyantian.net/csafari/?p=430]<br />
<br />
*Darrik was originally adopted by Celina's mother. In the original stories.<br />

'''Soida Hopea'''[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=403.0]: A 31 year old female blue fox. She's 5'2" and a little chubby, but not unattractively so. Her fur is a particularly dark ocean blue with an icy blue underside. Her right hand is the lighter blue, while her other hand and both feet are black. From a childhood accident, her tail is a little shorter than most fox and comes to a poofy blunt end with just a little bit of black. Her face is devoid of any markings but her ears are black tipped, each of which has a small silver stud earring near the top. Most of her black hair she keeps very short (maybe five inches long all around) except for the shoulder length bangs that frame her face. Her eyes are a very dark brown. She was born deaf and after her parents left the fox lands just before the plague, a generous old wolf became the family sponsor and paid for bionic implants to allow her to hear. Because she received them around the age of 9, she still has a very choked and gutural sounding voice and still sees a speech therapist by choice. Her last name ''Hopea'' is adopted, by permission, from the kindly old wolf ''Adilis Hopea''.<br />
<br />
Soida has three younger brothers: red twins Alku and Lintu, and the orange youngest Palikko. They make an appearance in the story as well.<br />
<br />
'''Ellia Quint''': A 21 year old female liger mounty, standing at 6'8" with dark red fur and sporadic tan striping. Her hair is that same tawny color, and kept long with bangs. Her eyes are red-brown and slightly slanted. She's specializing in percussion within the music program, but has a knack for song writing as well, and doesn't really have a set idea of what she wants to do when she graduates outside of it being something musical. Her history will be covered in the series.<br />
<br />
'''Sriek Denae'''[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=869.0]: A 28 year old red and gold female wolf who keeps herself in very good shape due to her history in show business and stands at 7'9". Since childhood she's kept her golden hair very long; although it's at it's longest yet while at Mars, reaching down to her calves. Most of her is red, but her face is covered in a heart shaped marking of gold that trails down her neck and then out again across her chest. The tips of her fingers are gold, and the bottom of her feet with mottled pink and black pads. Her eyes are dark amber with thick brown lashes. If she comes out the door in the morning without more than six pieces of jewelry on, you can be sure there is something wrong. She's always decked out in something, usually matching sets she's gotten her hands on, or commissioned, and usually bells and hand pounded coins are featured to add a little music to her walk. Her clothes tend to be something figure-accentuating and sexy, even while she works but she does stay modestly covered while teaching. Sriek was a child star who turned her back on the entertainment industry in her teens when people she trusted betrayed her. She turned to teaching voice and also functions as a part time private speech therapist to any one who is referred by her current clients.<br />
<br />
'''Lacern Helos''': A 33 year old male gold fox; a little tall for his species at a little over 5'4". He's light gold over all, with cream mask-like and tear-stain markings. His chest, hands, and feet are also cream, but his hair is a darker and more orange-gold. The end of his tail is a band of cream ending in white. He tends to wear a mish-mash of high end, expensive clothes, and older home-made and somewhat ragged items. He starts out as the in-house vet at Soida's brother's business, but when they come to Mars to look into opening a second shop there, he decides to apply for a teaching position and allow one of his apprentices back on Cyantian to be promoted. His history will be covered in the series.<br />

== Episodes ==<br />
<br />
Episodes usually span a few significant days in the life of some of the characters, and hop in between groups as things happen. There can be long breaks of time in between the happenings of each episode, but there is no standard. Usually the lives of the teachers and students are separate, but sometimes collide in academic and nonacademic settings. All of the major student characters are final year music majors, and both Soida and Sriek are music professors, but Lacern (who was a later addition and didn't appear in the first few episodes) is a new teacher in the Veterinary program.<br />

Later on at a bar, Talon finds out who it is that's causing Ellia's distress and vows to do something about him...<br />

<hr />
<div>'''14<sup>th</sup> Variation of a Theme on Mars''' is a fanfiction series written by Renessa (or renessa47) centering around a fictional group of students and teachers at Mars Academy in the music department. Specifically Talon Midael, Ellia Quint, Soida Hopea, Sriek Denae, and Lacern Helos are the characters that make up the main cast. However, many characters from [[Campus Safari]] make appearances, as well as cameos from other [[MARPG]] characters (Soida is a registered character in the RPG, and Talon is an owned NPC). The story takes place sometime within and after the current incarnation of [[Campus Safari]], but the exact time frame isn't clear.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE!''' The series is marked with a mature content warning (as well as a more specific warning for each episode), and should likely not be read by people under the age of 14.<br />

However, he has his hair dyed flaming red with yellow bleached tips; which is also short for a male wolf, only reaching the middle of his back.

<div>'''14<sup>th</sup> Variation of a Theme on Mars''' is a fanfiction series written by Renessa (or renessa47) centering around a fictional group of students and teachers at Mars Academy in the music department. Specifically Talon Midael, Ellia Quint, Soida Hopea, Sriek Denae, and Lacern Helos are the characters that make up the main cast. However, many characters from [[Campus Safari]] make appearances, as well as cameos from other [[MARPG]] characters (Soida is a registered character in the RPG, and Talon is an owned NPC). The story takes place sometime within and after the current incarnation of [[Campus Safari]], but the exact time frame isn't clear.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE!''' The series is marked with a mature content warning (as well as a more specific warning for each episode), and should likely not be read by people under the age of 14.<br />

<br />
== Characters ==<br />
<br />
'''Talon Midael'''[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=403.msg15340#msg15340]: A 22 year old male [Category:Wolf | wolf], standing at 7'7" with mahogany brown fur and light coffee-colored markings. However, he has his hair dyed flaming red with yellow bleached tips; which is also short for a male wolf, only reaching the middle of his back. He usually isn't seen far from his guitar or leather jacket, and the heavy influence from the recordings of Earth Rock available on Mars has him aspiring to be a Cyantian rockstar. His history will be covered in the series.<br />
<br />
'''Soida Hopea'''[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=403.0]: A 31 year old female blue [[Category:Fox|fox]]. She's 5'2" and a little chubby, but not unattractively so. Her fur is a particularly dark ocean blue with an icy blue underside. Her right hand is the lighter blue, while her other hand and both feet are black. From a childhood accident, her tail is a little shorter than most fox and comes to a poofy blunt end with just a little bit of black. Her face is devoid of any markings but her ears are black tipped, each of which has a small silver stud earring near the top. Most of her black hair she keeps very short (maybe five inches long all around) except for the shoulder length bangs that frame her face. Her eyes are a very dark brown. She was born deaf and after her parents left the fox lands just before the plague, a generous old wolf became the family sponsor and paid for bionic implants to allow her to hear. Because she received them around the age of 9, she still has a very choked and gutural sounding voice and still sees a speech therapist by choice. Her last name ''Hopea'' is adopted, by permission, from the kindly old wolf ''Adilis Hopea''.<br />
<br />
Soida has three younger brothers: red twins Alku and Lintu, and the orange youngest Palikko. They make an appearance in the story as well.<br />
<br />
'''Ellia Quint''': A 21 year old female liger [[Category:Mounty|mounty]], standing at 6'8" with dark red fur and sporadic tan striping. Her hair is that same tawny color, and kept long with bangs. Her eyes are red-brown and slightly slanted. She's specializing in percussion within the music program, but has a knack for song writing as well, and doesn't really have a set idea of what she wants to do when she graduates outside of it being something musical. Her history will be covered in the series.<br />
<br />
'''Sriek Denae'''[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=869.0]: A 28 year old red and gold female [[Category:Wolf|wolf]] who keeps herself in very good shape due to her history in show business and stands at 7'9". Since childhood she's kept her golden hair very long; although it's at it's longest yet while at Mars, reaching down to her calves. Most of her is red, but her face is covered in a heart shaped marking of gold that trails down her neck and then out again across her chest. The tips of her fingers are gold, and the bottom of her feet with mottled pink and black pads. Her eyes are dark amber with thick brown lashes. If she comes out the door in the morning without more than six pieces of jewelry on, you can be sure there is something wrong. She's always decked out in something, usually matching sets she's gotten her hands on, or commissioned, and usually bells and hand pounded coins are featured to add a little music to her walk. Her clothes tend to be something figure-accentuating and sexy, even while she works but she does stay modestly covered while teaching. Sriek was a child star who turned her back on the entertainment industry in her teens when people she trusted betrayed her. She turned to teaching voice and also functions as a part time private speech therapist to any one who is referred by her current clients.<br />
<br />
'''Lacern Helos''': A 33 year old male gold [[Category:Fox|fox]]; a little tall for his species at a little over 5'4". He's light gold over all, with cream mask-like and tear-stain markings. His chest, hands, and feet are also cream, but his hair is a darker and more orange-gold. The end of his tail is a band of cream ending in white. He tends to wear a mish-mash of high end, expensive clothes, and older home-made and somewhat ragged items. He starts out as the in-house vet at Soida's brother's business, but when they come to Mars to look into opening a second shop there, he decides to apply for a teaching position and allow one of his apprentices back on Cyantian to be promoted. His history will be covered in the series.<br />
<br />
=== Minor Characters ===<br />
<br />
'''Jakerd''': A huge, black, male [[Category:Wolf|wolf]] who is also a final year music major, friend to Talon and Ellia, and one of Talon's room mates.<br />
<br />
'''Herad''': A somewhat short, gray male [[Category:Wolf|wolf]] from a rich background; also a final year music major, more Talon's friend than Ellia's, and Talon's third roommate.<br />
<br />
'''Fejin Majinai'''[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=690.0]: A male [[Category:Taboa|taboa]], one of Soida's favorite students and a second year music major. Also a registered character in the [[MARPG]].<br />
<br />
'''Tern''': A female snow leopard [[Category:Mounty|mounty]], majoring in Lift Mechanics, and one of Ellia's roommates.<br />

== Episodes ==<br />
<br />
Episodes usually span a few significant days in the life of some of the characters, and hop in between groups as things happen. There can be long breaks of time in between the happenings of each episode, but there is no standard. Usually the lives of the teachers and students are separate, but sometimes collide in academic and nonacademic settings. All of the major student characters are final year music majors, and both Soida and Sriek are music professors, but Lacern (who was a later addition and didn't appear in the first few episodes) is a new teacher in the Veterinary program.<br />

<br />
Talon, Soida, Ellia, and Sriek are introduced, along with Talon and Ellia's friends: Jakerd and Herad. Talon, in a slight fit of stupidity, manages to offend Soida while staring where he shouldn't while she teaches class. His friends make fun of him for it, and Sriek is disappointed that Soida didn't give him detention for it. An idea is planted in Talon's head about the incident, and he carries out on it, much to Soida's confusion...<br />
<br />
=== Episode 2: Cruisin' for a Bruisin' ===<br />

[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=810.msg15703#msg15703 link]<br />
<br />
Tern gets a momentary introduction when it's revealed not all is well with Ellia, and that she'd rather keep that fact a secret. Talon, however, isn't so unobservant and pesters her about it. Soida meanwhile gets a huge surprise dumped in her lap by her brothers and has to rush off while Sriek covers for her. Later on at a bar, Talon finds out who it is that's causing Ellia's distress and vows to do something about him...<br />
<br />
=== Episode 3: An' She Said DOC-TER! ===<br />
<br />
[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=810.msg15866#msg15866 link]<br />
<br />
Soida's brothers arrive and drop another surprise on her: they brought their friend Lacern Helos. She takes them to the spare bedroom in her suite and lets them adjust from their space-lag.

[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=810.msg17598#msg17598 link]<br />
<br />
The brothers finish up their trip to Mars, but Lacern stays behind to finish up the series of guest lectures and interviews for his application to teach. The saber Talon fought finally gets out of medical and gets sent to the brig, and Darius releases Talon early due to what they found out. A jam session is had at Soida's, and after taking care of a few issues that arose while he was locked up for a week, Talon heads straight to the one person that matters...<br />

<hr />
<div>'''14<sup>th</sup> Variation of a Theme on Mars''' is a fanfiction series written by Renessa (or renessa47) centering around a fictional group of students and teachers at Mars Academy in the music department. Specifically Talon Midael, Ellia Quint, Soida Hopea, Sriek Denae, and Lacern Helos are the characters that make up the main cast. However, many characters from [[Campus Safari]] make appearances, as well as cameos from other [[MARPG]] characters (Soida is a registered character in the RPG, and Talon is an owned NPC). The story takes place sometime within and after the current incarnation of [[Campus Safari]], but the exact time frame isn't clear.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE!''' The series is marked with a mature content warning (as well as a more specific warning for each episode), and should likely not be read by people under the age of 14.<br />

Incomplete but currently updating. Episodes are uploaded to a [http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=810.0 thread] in the [http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php Cyantian Chronicles Forum], but are also mirrored on Renessa47's DeviantArt [http://renessa47.deviantart.com/gallery/#Literature account]. There is no update schedule, and no planned end as of yet (although there are up to 12 with solid plans for them, and ideas after that); episodes simply come out when they do.<br />
<br />
== Characters ==<br />
<br />
'''Talon Midael'''[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=403.msg15340#msg15340]: A 22 year old male [[Wolf]], standing at 7'7" with mahogany brown fur and light coffee-colored markings. However, he has his hair dyed flaming red with yellow bleached tips; which is also short for a male wolf, only reaching the middle of his back. He usually isn't seen far from his guitar or leather jacket, and the heavy influence from the recordings of Earth Rock available on Mars has him aspiring to be a Cyantian rockstar. His history will be covered in the series.<br />
<br />
'''Soida Hopea'''[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=403.0]: A 31 year old female blue [[fox]]. She's 5'2" and a little chubby, but not unattractively so. Her fur is a particularly dark ocean blue with an icy blue underside. Her right hand is the lighter blue, while her other hand and both feet are black. From a childhood accident, her tail is a little shorter than most fox and comes to a poofy blunt end with just a little bit of black. Her face is devoid of any markings but her ears are black tipped, each of which has a small silver stud earring near the top. Most of her black hair she keeps very short (maybe five inches long all around) except for the shoulder length bangs that frame her face. Her eyes are a very dark brown. She was born deaf and after her parents left the fox lands just before the plague, a generous old wolf became the family sponsor and paid for bionic implants to allow her to hear. Because she received them around the age of 9, she still has a very choked and gutural sounding voice and still sees a speech therapist by choice. Her last name ''Hopea'' is adopted, by permission, from the kindly old wolf ''Adilis Hopea''.<br />
<br />
Soida has three younger brothers: red twins Alku and Lintu, and the orange youngest Palikko. They make an appearance in the story as well.<br />
<br />
'''Ellia Quint''': A 21 year old female liger [[mounty]], standing at 6'8" with dark red fur and sporadic tan striping. Her hair is that same tawny color, and kept long with bangs. Her eyes are red-brown and slightly slanted. She's specializing in percussion within the music program, but has a knack for song writing as well, and doesn't really have a set idea of what she wants to do when she graduates outside of it being something musical. Her history will be covered in the series.<br />
<br />
'''Sriek Denae'''[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=869.0]: A 28 year old red and gold female [[wolf]] who keeps herself in very good shape due to her history in show business and stands at 7'9". Since childhood she's kept her golden hair very long; although it's at it's longest yet while at Mars, reaching down to her calves. Most of her is red, but her face is covered in a heart shaped marking of gold that trails down her neck and then out again across her chest. The tips of her fingers are gold, and the bottom of her feet with mottled pink and black pads. Her eyes are dark amber with thick brown lashes. If she comes out the door in the morning without more than six pieces of jewelry on, you can be sure there is something wrong. She's always decked out in something, usually matching sets she's gotten her hands on, or commissioned, and usually bells and hand pounded coins are featured to add a little music to her walk. Her clothes tend to be something figure-accentuating and sexy, even while she works but she does stay modestly covered while teaching. Sriek was a child star who turned her back on the entertainment industry in her teens when people she trusted betrayed her. She turned to teaching voice and also functions as a part time private speech therapist to any one who is referred by her current clients.<br />
<br />
'''Lacern Helos''': A 33 year old male gold [[fox]]; a little tall for his species at a little over 5'4". He's light gold over all, with cream mask-like and tear-stain markings. His chest, hands, and feet are also cream, but his hair is a darker and more orange-gold. The end of his tail is a band of cream ending in white. He tends to wear a mish-mash of high end, expensive clothes, and older home-made and somewhat ragged items. He starts out as the in-house vet at Soida's brother's business, but when they come to Mars to look into opening a second shop there, he decides to apply for a teaching position and allow one of his apprentices back on Cyantian to be promoted. His history will be covered in the series.<br />
<br />
=== Minor Characters ===<br />
<br />
'''Jakerd''': A huge, black, male [[wolf]] who is also a final year music major, friend to Talon and Ellia, and one of Talon's room mates.<br />
<br />
'''Herad''': A somewhat short, gray male [[wolf]] from a rich background; also a final year music major, more Talon's friend than Ellia's, and Talon's third roommate.<br />
<br />
'''Fejin Majinai'''[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=690.0]: A male [[taboa]], one of Soida's favorite students and a second year music major. Also a registered character in the [[MARPG]].<br />
<br />
'''Tern''': A female snow leopard [[mounty]], majoring in Lift Mechanics, and one of Ellia's roommates.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Episodes ==<br />
<br />
Episodes usually span a few significant days in the life of some of the characters, and hop in between groups as things happen. There can be long breaks of time in between the happenings of each episode, but there is no standard. Usually the lives of the teachers and students are separate, but sometimes collide in academic and nonacademic settings. All of the major student characters are final year music majors, and both Soida and Sriek are music professors, but Lacern (who was a later addition and didn't appear in the first few episodes) is a new teacher in the Veterinary program.<br />

His friends make fun of him for it, and Sriek is disappointed that Soida didn't give him detention for it. An idea is planted in Talon's head about the incident, and he carries out on it, much to Soida's confusion...<br />

== Episodes ==<br />
<br />
Episodes usually span a few significant days in the life of some of the characters, and hop in between groups as things happen. There can be long breaks of time in between the happenings of each episode, but there is no standard. Usually the lives of the teachers and students are separate, but sometimes collide in academic and nonacademic settings. All of the major student characters are final year music majors, and both Soida and Sriek are music professors, but Lacern (who was a later addition and didn't appear in the first few episodes) is a new teacher in the Veterinary program.<br />
<br />

<br />
[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=810.msg15341#msg15341 link]<br />
<br />
Talon, Soida, Ellia, and Sriek are introduced, along with Talon and Ellia's friends: Jakerd and Herad. Talon, in a slight fit of stupidity, manages to offend Soida while staring where he shouldn't while she teaches class. His friends make fun of him for it, and Sriek is disappointed that Soida didn't give him detention for it. An idea is planted in Talon's head about the incident, and he carries out on it, much to Soida's confusion...<br />
<br />
=== Episode 2: Cruisin' for a Bruisin' ===<br />
<br />
[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=810.msg15703#msg15703 link]<br />
<br />
Tern gets a momentary introduction when it's revealed not all is well with Ellia, and that she'd rather keep that fact a secret. Talon, however, isn't so unobservant and pesters her about it. Soida meanwhile gets a huge surprise dumped in her lap by her brothers and has to rush off while Sriek covers for her. Later on at a bar, Talon finds out who it is that's causing Ellia's distress and vows to do something about him...<br />
<br />
=== Episode 3: An' She Said DOC-TER! ===<br />
<br />
[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=810.msg15866#msg15866 link]<br />
<br />
Soida's brothers arrive and drop another surprise on her: they brought their friend Lacern Helos. She takes them to the spare bedroom in her suite and lets them adjust from their space-lag. Ellia gets into deeper trouble, and Talon comes to the rescue, but Soida and Lacern manage to stop things before any one gets killed...<br />
<br />

<br />
[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=810.msg16532#msg16532 link]<br />
<br />
Darius comes down hard on Talon for what happened the night before, and because of Talon's previous bad behavior, he gives him an ultimatum. Palikko is forced to breech an awkward subject with Soida, and Lacern makes amends with her for the argument they had last night...<br />

=== Episode 5: Away From the Sun ===<br />
<br />
[http://shivae.org/cyantian/index.php?topic=810.msg17598#msg17598 link]<br />
<br />
The brothers finish up their trip to Mars, but Lacern stays behind to finish up the series of guest lectures and interviews for his application to teach. The saber Talon fought finally gets out of medical and gets sent to the brig, and Darius releases Talon early due to what they found out. A jam session is had at Soida's, and after taking care of a few issues that arose while he was locked up for a week, Talon heads straight to the one person that matters...</div>Renessa47https://www.shivae.org/wiki/index.php?title=ShivaeWiki:IRC_channel&diff=10741ShivaeWiki:IRC channel2009-02-05T20:16:41Z<p>Renessa47: </p>

<div>[[Category:Littan]]<br />
<br />
Among [[:Category:Littan|Littans]] single births, or solos, are rare. A child born solo exactly one year to the day later than another solo is considered the soul twin of the former. They are basically considered twins born apart, and normally look out for each other as if they were brothers born together.<br />
