Alphon - the kosmoversal alphabet

Words and terminology

The Kosmoverse is a big place, holding centuries of history, and many, many peoples- There are lots of words and terms people use to navigate this expansive universe, and here you can find them if you're ever confused as to what they mean.

Featured words

Astrostrom

An Astrsostrom refers to an anomoly in space that preplexes even the greatest scientists of the Kosmoverse. It is a large, formless vortex of energy and uniquely charged particles that forms much like a storm on a planet does. The similarities end there. Common Astrostorm signs are: 1. Loss of all power, 2. Frequency disruption and 3. Matter displacement. (Kosmoversal)

Some Examples:
>"What does a sunset, a burning transport, and a large, raging Astrostorm all have in common?" [Ep.1, Ch.1 ]
>“Hilarious– Comedy based off of your near death and freak survival of an Astrostorm. Truly, peak humour." [Ep.1, Ch.3 -Lewis]

Astrogate

As the name implies, Astrogate is a word used to describe holes in space that appear in the eye of an Astrostorm. There is very little research on Astrogates, as the only way to observe them is to study what is ejected. (Kosmoversal)

Some Examples:
>"Covien’s Department of Astroportralis would like to remind citizens to report any and all Astrogate debris–” [Ep:1, Ch:1 –The Port]
>“My ship came down because of an Astrogate– because of an Astrogate! Not because it came from an Astrogate..." [Ep:1, Ch:1, Evren]

Offworlder

It's pretty straightforward. It's a term for anyone that doesn't belong on your world. (Kosmoversal. Blue Fringe: Insult.)

Some Examples:
>" “Do you think that a Covienian is just going to let an Offworlder get away scotch-free?" [Ep1, Ch.3 – Evren to Lewis]
>“So? Am I getting an update every time a bunch of Offworlders screw up an engine replacement in the Lower Hangars?" [Ep 1, Ch.10 - Kan to Gary]

beings of the 'Verse

(Geo) JEE-oh-DEE-ahn

Geodian

pillars of the universe

Geodians are a numerous and hardy people. Although Geoh'dia is their Native system, most Geodians are born abroad as servants, labourers, or in some parts of the Kosmoverse, as slaves. They are known for Hatiresh, the culture-wide practice of commemorating traits, acts, and memories through coloured, patterned beads in significant braids in their hair.

Their strength, durability, and general resilience makes them perfect for the hard, mundane jobs that every planet and spaceport has.

Light Geodian: Dark skin, pale eyes, white hair, and white geometric markings on their faces, limbs and torso
Dark Geodian: Tan to pale skin, dark hair, and dark geometric markings on their faces, limbs and torsos.
Avg. Height: 6.5 ft
Build: Mainly heavy set and durable. Geodians are known for their higher bone density and a heightened psychical strength

There are many planets in the Geodian system, all of which are home to not just Geodians, but other species, too. Goedians are good at co-existing with other settlers like Tironian communities, Flirin troupes, and even Nefnat Integration groups.

The capital of Gheo'dia, [Gheo'dia: the collective of Geodian culture and people] is a large planet called Xenophos. Sadly, only a small fraction of Geodians still live on this planet, as the majority the Geodian population is born abroad and far from their ancestral home.

As a previous Scelirian Order hotspot, Xenophos is still home to some of the nastiest criminal and illegal organisations in the Kosmoverse, like The Ten Rings.

Post Scelirian Order, much of Gheo'dia's history was lost due to occupation and the ever-growing slave trade.

What remains is passed down orally, or through family Hatiresh. Most stories are random fragments on ancestral heroics of fighting the Sceliri, but some speak of an ancient energy source all Geodians used to draw strength from; one hidden deep within the planet's jungles and swiftly changing landscapes...

Nefnat

the soldiers

NEF-nat

As soldiers bred for war, and creatures engineered for combat, the Nefnats make quite a formidable foe. There are seven types of Nefnat, knowns as Marks.

With genes spliced from the best races of the Kosmoverse, Nefnats get their strength from Secodacks and Geodians, their infrared vision from Turgens, and their stature and reflexes from Avaiyyatians, to name only a few.

Most Nefnat’s have pale to tan skin, with blond/light brown hair and yellowed, cat-like irises, and tails. Their sharpened teeth are often in poor condition due to sub-optimal genetic engineering.

Mark 1: First Strike Nefnat. Fast, enhanced, and terrifying.

Mark 2 : Tech and air force [piloting]. Small build, increased cerebral function, and reaction speed.

Mark 3: Heavy infantry. Reinforced bones, heavyset fighters.

Mark 4: Light infantry, infiltration. Lithe and balanced, enhanced senses, and enhanced reaction.

Mark 5 [redacted]

Mark 6 [redacted]

For hundreds of years, Nefnats were used by the Scelirian Order as enhanced soldiers bred for war. As a militarized slave-force, Nefnats were instrumental in the Scelirian pursuit of Kosmoversal domination.

It was Chanoch Dawn, a Nefnat Captain who broke free of Scelirian programming, who rose up and sparked the first successful Nefnat Revolution. Defecting Nefnat soldiers joined the Entrillian Resistance against the Sceliri in a long and bloody conflict called The Silent War.

Nefnats that stayed with the Sceliri are called Scellirian Nefnats, while their ‘freer' counterparts are known as Entrillian Nefnats.

Covienian

KO-vee- EN- ee- en

Fletric

FLEH-trik

Covienians are a very small minority in the Kosmoverse, as most of them stay in the Vien system. The more brave venture out into the Blue Fringe, becoming simple freighters or traders. The less brave stay and become mechanics, or something even less exciting. Most are suspicious and uninterested in the Inner Worlds, and harbor an age-old dislike for anything that doesn't come from their own planet.

All Covienians have blond hair and dark eyes. The only exception being some light-eyed Scavenger tribes that inhabit an abandoned part of Covien, called The Hollow Wastes. They have no markings, and no variation from their distant cousins, Humans, apart from their freakish height, which averagely, is 7 ft.

Filled with infinite grasslands, dusty heaths, and raw, empty ocean beds, Covien is a barren shell of its former self– but it isn’t completely useless! The Scelirian Order left all the salt when it stole Covien's ocean, so its main export is salt and grit from its refineries.

Scelirian Order Era, Covien used to be a mining planet, where dangerous and illegal practices were used to strip a precious fuel from Covien's underearth: Kataton 5. The harsh process of refining this element destroyed Covien’s ecosystem, and ultimately ruined its biosphere. All that grows on Covien presently is grass, rodents, and Covienians.

Covien is a stop-over planet for the more dangerous, uninhabited places of the Y-sector; like a seedy gas station everyone hates but goes to anyway, because there is literally nothing else that far out.

Covien has three moons: Operis, Tarda, and Cittisimmi

When the Scelirian Order rose to power, Covien was one of the first planets to be enslaved; the planet, itself, for the fuel under its surface, and the people to work and toil in the refineries and mines. Many slaves were brought to Covien to work alongside the tall, blond natives, and that is why the term ‘Covienian’ doesn’t just mean native-born. Covienian’s have an odd sense of loyalty to those that suffered with them, but Offworld folk are swiftly dealt with and then ignored.

The Blue Fringe war did not help Covien’s view on Offworlders. The Entrillian Empire once fought back the Scelirian forces from the Blue Fringe, in a victorious end to hundreds of years of slavery. Only, the end of the war saw troops depleted, and it left the precious Kore unprotected. Entrillian troops fell back to the Innerworlds, leaving the weak Blue Fringe to fend for itself.

It did not take long for the Sceliri to reclaim the previously liberated worlds. Thus, a vicious animosity started between a people once united…

Simple in appearance, Fletrics are classed under the family Langian, due to their slow metabolisms, pointed ears, and marginally longer lifespans than that of Humarians.

Depending on the hemisphere, light or dark V's can line the brow, cheekbones, and wrists; a somewhat revered part of their appearance, and they are usually further embellished with either religious markings or House tattoos*. These can take shape as either diamonds or even more V's.

Fletrics can be understood by closely examining their religion, which is both strict and unwavering.

Average Height: 6ft.

Skin and Appearance: Pale and freckled. Dark hair.

Pointed ears that fold over to shield the ear canal from excess water.

*House tattoos are honoured and revered. Only Fletrics that uphold their communities' and families' conducts or beliefs will undergo these markings.

The Meaighdrean system, home to the Fletrics, is small and compact. Its largest and capital planet, Furl, has no oceans, only because it is, in its entirety, a single body of water. It is not a very large planet, but is located the edge of the Medium Belt– so far out that it is considered part of the Blue Fringe, by some. Secluded and introverted, most Fletric communities are built on myriads of islands that make up a large handful of archipelagos.

Unlike Covien, Furl has no need to import drinkable water, as the liquid is harvested from the ocean and then converted.

Furl may be be home to simple fishermen, but also to amazing shipwrights, which encourages much attention from other parts of the Kosmoverse. The steady traffic to and from Furl produces a healthy import of woods and metal, and exports of fish, art, and fabrics made from sea plants.

“What has happened in the past, will continue in the future.” This Furlian proverb does well to provide a good view on Furlian history.

Apart from providing the Kosmoverse with excellent ships, Furl also took in a large amount of children and minors during the Blue Fringe war, giving them temporary homes and families when other planets where under threat of Scelirian invasion.

Fletrics and Tironians consider themselves sister peoples, due to their own myths and legends, and indeed, many others have come to the same conclusion, as the two races share similarities in appearance, culture, and even the same deity, though their religions are called by different names.

[It is noted that the Fletric view and observance of Aurorism is far more rigid than the Tironian observance– placing more weight on shunning the supernatural, and keeping themselves apart from what the rest of the universe call the Kletesh.]

A Note about Furl and its system:

Due to it's position next to the Ti'inivi Cloud, Furl is under constant duress from its cosmic neighbors. Unfortunately, the Fletric people are not the only race that claims right to the Furlian sector. Furlian Sirens raid and pillage any unguarded island or ship that dares come too close. On every planet in their system, the Fletric people have had to battle the Sirens for their right to live on said planets, for as long as either race can remember.

Tironian

Tir-ROW-nee-un

servants and settlers

Tironians are everywhere, and that’s not just a vague overstatement. Because Tironians operate in groups and communities called Kabuks, their beliefs and practices make them perfect for sending to the coldest, or hottest, or the most inhospitable places of Kosmoverse for pioneering it. As a result of this, their homeworld, Tir, would in no way sustain the Kosmoverse's vast Tironian population spread across the universe. It is worth mentioning that most Blue Fringe worlds are Tironian colonies.

Tirons, or Tironians, have blue ‘tiger-like’ stripes going either up or down their bodies, sprouting from their chest or spines. They have flat, pointed ears, and have thick, usually curly hair. Skin colour can vary from brown to pale.

Tir is a farming planet, home to shepherds and farmers alike. Although there might be many Tironians spread across the galaxies, Tir is far from being an overcrowded planet. From large, healthy forests to still mountain ranges, all the way to rolling pastures and huge vineyards, Tir is the home to simplicity and community. Tironians believe their planet was a gift from their deity, and live and die to preserve it, along with its inclusive culture and people.

The re-liberation of Tir from Scelirian control is one of the most celebrated Tironian holidays in the Kosmoverse.

Along with Geodians, Tironians were also used as slaves by the Sceliran Order to work in mines, refineries, and factories. But Post and Pre Scelirian Order, the Tironians were and remain a mighty, unbreakable people. The Tironian Light Guard, otherwise known as the Tironian Guards, presently serve the Kosmoverse as an unbiased, humanitarian based military, as they did in the past before the Sceiliri.

Tironians have fought in every war the universe has ever pushed itself through, faced extinction, and served as slaves for centuries at a time. They are an ancient race 'that just refuses to die'.

flirin

Performers and pirates

FLIR-in

Dancers, performers, pirates.

Flirins are the dark-skinned, teal-eyed vagabonds that roam the Kosmoverse like space dust caught on a solar wind. Most Flirins would give up a homeworld for the freedom and breathing space of the wide, beautiful Kosmoverse– and it’s an environment most, if not all of them thrive in.

Charismatic, musical, and extremely family oriented, Flirins live and travel on ships and transports chasing seasonal work around the systems, or becoming a performing troupe. Spending most of their life traveling, some Flirins use their knowledge of the space between the worlds for piracy, giving Flirins a bad name as thieves and cut throats. Which… isn’t entirely untrue…

Flirins are known for their colourful way of dress, whether a brightly dyed headscarf, or a famous Flirin feather in their hair. Flirins pass down the skill of being able to make jewelry or fabric out of any material they can find. This is impressive, but is merely the product of being, well, dirt poor.

As travellers, Flirins are tied deeply with Kosmoverse’s rich and colourful history, partaking in its wars, famine, and life in general. Flirins believe themselves to be the long lost children of the Void. Flirins also believe that every soul in existence, past and future, is held together by music, so their school, histories, and stories are passed down through song, and sometimes dance and movement.

It’s said that no matter which era the universe is in, no matter the peril or joy at hand, you can always find a Flirin trying to teach someone to dance.

Mechanics and maniacs

Secodack

SEH-koh-DAK

A long-eared, and sharp-toothed race of high intelligence, Secodacks boast a strong bone density, and tough skin.

There are many types of Secodacks, but the most well known are Florodine, Tierrian, Petalions, Espinano, Selva, and Sier’nnsh.

Secodacks who live in Entrillian Space, or surrounding regions, are often found on space ports, docks, stations or freighters, as mechanics, engineers and technicians.

A common genetic hiccup in Secolise biology is the Florodine Secodack, a smaller, four-fingered Secodack, potentially the product of either outer-racial mixing or genetic mutation.

Secodack Avg. Height: 5 ft

Florodine Secodack Avg Height: 4 -4.5ft

Across the Kosmoverse, through the Great Expanse, the Seco systems are known for their technological advancements and feats of engineering. There are nine planets in the three collective systems, each home to a different kind of Secodack, or a mix of a few.

The capital planet, Seco 9, is filled with unyielding deserts, and even more unyielding desert tribes. Secodacks who cannot stand the lifestyle in the wastelands flock to the Habitats; ancient domed, subtropical paradises filled with entire cities…

Many Secodack tribes fought and lost their lives in the Silent War. Among these tribes, one in particular suffered greatly, having only six remaining tribes-people left. Myth and legends say that this tribe was blessed for its sacrifice, and have the ability to pass down information and knowledge through DNA.

Also, there’s nine freaking planets. This Tab isn’t big enough for NINE PLANETS' HISTORIES OKAY JUST GO READ THE BOOK. IT'LL EXPLAIN ITSELF EVENTUALLY

Avaiyyatian

General : AH-VEE-ah-SHIN
Tribal : ahv-AY-YAT-ti-en

Tall, lean, and agile, Avaiyyatians have long been considered one of the most beautiful races of the Kosmoverse. Their white-blond hair and pale complexion makes the vivid black dots on their skin prominent and extraordinary, while their agility and poise marks them as graceful and elegant.

The culture of the Entrillian Avaiys, as they are commonly referred to, is of one obsessed with perfection. Beauty and performance is placed high above welfare and community, and this can be traced back to their long forgotten deities– the Ninzi, who would bless the tribes with good fortune only if they forsook imbalance and embraced true perfection.

Average Height: 6ft.

Skin and Appearance: Pale, light and soft skin, with black dots spiraling up and down their bodies. White hair.

Very light bone structure.

The large and breathtaking planet of Avaiyyat was once home to thousands of different Avaiyyatian tribes, but is now divided into only two halves; the tribes that signed a treaty with the Entrillian Empirium, and the tribes that did not.

What's left is a planet torn in two, with constant skirmishes between the half of the planet that yearns for progress and perfection, and the other half that is determined to retain its tribal heritages.

The planet itself is filled with a thick, jungle-like growth, and large, floating islands that move freely across the Avaiyyatian skies.

Ancient Avaiyyatians believed that the entire universe was once perfect under the rule of the Ninzi, a pantheon of beings tasked to keeping the universe in order, but that it ultimately fell due to growing imperfection and imbalance. The tribes that strove to return to this perfect state were blessed and protected.

Modern Avaiyyatian culture now translates this ancient tribal belief into focusing on education, appearance, wealth– and in common cases– the ostracism of any community members who are disabled, challenged or deformed.

Present day, there is very little information on the tribal Avaiyyatians, due to their intolerance of anything associated with Entrillia and its surrounding governments.

[Note: The Avaiyyatian tribal practice of Amasu is recognised as the base of the notorious and impressive martial art of the recently independent Kletisian Guild. An Avaiyyatian's lightweight physique is perfect for this pressure point/energy focused martial art.]

Evren will never know who she is, but you can!

Meet the Characters

Come get to know your heroes. There's more than what meets the eye for these folks, so pay close attention to their description...

Evren West

After surviving a deadly Astrostorm, Evren spends her days pretending to know how to read, scrounging for food, and dreaming of a life off Covien. While she can't remember her life before the storm, Evren does her best to struggle through each day with honesty, humour, and a deep sense of unease about her quickly forming abilities...

AGE: Unknown / Race: Geodian (DARK) / Homeworld: Unknown

Best qualities: Kindness and ingenuity
Worst traits: laziness and disassociation,
A hidden talent: is not the worst with numbers

Aster Rigg

As Captain to the Passerine, Aster has a stiff and rigid exterior that can seem frustrating and impassive on good days. Aster left his military career behind him after the Blue Fringe war and now spends his days venturing between the planets and arguing with his engineers. When he isn't finding the next contract for him and his crew, Aster is either reading or pouring over every map he can get his hands on.

AGE: 40+/ Race: fletric/ Homeworld: Furl

traits and qualities : Faithful, stubborn, unforgiving and scary
Random fact: is not a half bad singer

After his many years of serving in the Sceliran Order, Sevus escaped the Scelirian slave military via Captain Rigg's offer of employment. With his soldiering days behind him, Sevus does his best to forget the world he came from and settle into his new life in the more free, albeit still struggling, Entrillian Empire. Now, the only battles Sevus is faced with is his crippling anxiety, and his crew's lack of critical thinking skills.

AGE: unknown/ Race: nefnat(mark 3) / Homeworld: N/A

traits and qualities : Anxious, doubtful, kind, and strict.
Random fact: can dance wonderfully

Sevus clacher [9225.3]

Zara Leers-Xasan

Zara is your typical medic - tired, angry, and somewhat mean, but underneath her exhaustion and general pettiness is an understanding and extremely intelligent person. Zara rebels against her culture's rigid views by using tattoos to compliment her native marking. When she's not running after some idiotic crew-member, Zara can be either napping, or drinking something dangerously caffeinated.

AGE: 23 / Race: Avaiyyatian / Homeworld: Entril (kore)

traits and qualities: Honest, reliable, uncompromising, and sarcastic.
random fact : struggles with insomnia

Charge Persied

If there's one thing the story has made clear, it's that Charge makes terribly mean assumptions about people- but unfortunately, Charge is usually right. With an uncanny knack for reading people, Charge uses this skill to navigate the world at large, and to formulate some biting insults. Combined with his clever engineering and phenomenal abilities, Charge appears to be the textbook definition of a pretentious miscreant. And he'll never let anyone think any differently.

AGE: ??/ Race: Secodack / Homeworld: Seco 9

traits and qualities: Perceptive, suspicious, skilled, and cowardly.
random fact : Feels calmest when he listens to music

Xander Nemeshianci

With his days in the Gladiator rings long behind him, Xander tries to make up for his violent past by helping anyone who might need an extra pair of hands, or a lighthearted conversation. After spending his entire life living under the assumptions other people made about him, Xander is happy to live and let live, but will stop at nothing to protect the crew he's come to see as his family.

AGE: 27/ Race: Geodian (light) / Homeworld: Xenophos

traits and qualities : Energetic, extroverted, dangerous, and friendly.
random fact : Makes the best hot chocolate, ever.

Tarik Kepper

Unsurprisingly, Tarik doesn't talk about her past- but she has enough to say in Alphon, the Kosmoverse's completely silent Sign-Language. With one cybernetic arm, and enough war stories to fill a history book, Tarik reckons she's seen, and fought for, enough of the universe. So now she spends her days aboard the Passerine as an engineer for their dual Light engines. Tarik has her own version of tough love and a quiet presence that the entire Passerine crew would be lost without. Her long life and jaded history only add to the weight behind her rare, but impactful, advice.

AGE: 54/ Race: TIRONIAN/ Homeworld: tENNEBRA

traits and qualities : humble, RELENTLESS, tricky, and INTROVERTED
random fact : steals food from the pantries

Alphon - the kosmoversal alphabet

Words and terminology

The Kosmoverse is a big place, holding centuries of history, and many, many peoples- There are lots of words and terms people use to navigate this expansive universe, and here you can find them if you're ever confused as to what they mean.

Featured words

Astrostrom

Some Examples: >"What does a sunset, a burning transport, and a large, raging Astrostorm all have in common?" [Ep.1, Ch.1 ] >“Hilarious– Comedy based off of your near death and freak survival of an Astrostorm. Truly, peak humour." [Ep.1, Ch.3 -Lewis]

Astrogate

As the name implies, Astrogate is a word used to describe holes in space that appear in the eye of an Astrostorm. There is very little research on Astrogates, as the only way to observe them is to study what is ejected. (Kosmoversal)

Some Examples: >"Covien’s Department of Astroportralis would like to remind citizens to report any and all Astrogate debris–” [Ep:1, Ch:1 –The Port] >“My ship came down because of an Astrogate– because of an Astrogate! Not because it came from an Astrogate..." [Ep:1, Ch:1, Evren]

Offworlder

It's pretty straightforward. It's a term for anyone that doesn't belong on your world. (Kosmoversal. Blue Fringe: Insult.)

Some Examples: >" “Do you think that a Covienian is just going to let an Offworlder get away scotch-free?" [Ep1, Ch.3 – Evren to Lewis] >“So? Am I getting an update every time a bunch of Offworlders screw up an engine replacement in the Lower Hangars?" [Ep 1, Ch.10 - Kan to Gary]
