Katar's Corner

[/b][/size]

Hmm. I don't know how much I'll use this spot for an actual blog, I think I'd rather just have some space to jot down some notes and such. Do people actually read these things anyways? xD If you do happen to read this, you're welcome to leave comments or just chat a little if you'd like. Because of major computer error, I lost most of my stuff, including all the *ahem* "research" I did for my Shistavanen Wolfman character. I had even started making up some history for his home planet. But alas, 'tis no more. I think I'll post my notes here in this 'lil corner. I'd prefer not to have to re-write everything a third time - as if this wasn't taking me long enough.

So, let's begin.

Shistavanen History[/u]

Uvenan Expansion:
-Exploration of the planet (Uvena Prime)
-Development of language and cultures
-Gathering of the Uvenan Tribe
-Creation of civilization

Vassal Period:
-Organizing a civilization
-Establishment of a governing body
-Rewarding those loyal to Uvena Prime,
the Chieftain of The Tribe
-Appointing vassals
-Establishing clan properties
-Creation of a caste society

Feudal Wars:
-Uvena Prime takes the
title of Emperor
-Conspiracies unfold
-Loyalty vs Rebellion
-Vassal Lords expanding their
personal territories
-Entangling alliances
-Vassals vying for rulership vs
Vassals defending the Emperor

Modernization:
-End of the Feudal Wars
-Ushering in a new and
civilized society
-Intellectual discoveries
-Creation of new technology

Colonization:
-Exploration of the Uvena System
of planets
-Securing control of and colonizing
neighboring planets


The Role of the Vonn[/u]

Uvenan Expansion: The Vonn clan served
the first Chieftain Uvena Prime loyally as scouts,
spies, and even bodyguards.

Vassal Period: Thanks to their generations
of loyal service, Drak Vonn was named a Vassal Lord
and given authority to rule over a certain region on
behalf of the Emperor.

Feudal Wars: Drak is forced into battle when a
fellow Vassal Lord makes a daring move against the
Emperor's regime. Drak's son Nyu joins the fight and
develops Nyu Xaiku.

Modernization: The Vassal Lords still loyal to the
Emperor (and the original Tribe conglomeration) finally
"negotiate" and end to the Feudal Wars. The Vonn
retreat from the public eye to carry on their traditions
and pass on their family history in relative seclusion.

Colonization: The small Vonn clan decides against
pursuing involvement in the colonization of the Uvena
System, deciding instead to remain on Uvena Prime
where they can focus on maintaining their clan's highly
individualized nature.

Notes on Vrill

Birth to Eight Years of Age

Vrill was a robust infant, larger and move active
than his his siblings Talvi and Roark. He also learned
how to pull himself up and walk earlier than most pups.
As was custom, his mother Sylrasi was the primary
caregiver during this phase.

As toddlers, Vrill and his siblings were inseperable little
terrors, always romping around and trying to sneak up
on people. Khryyn and Sylrasi used this playful enthusiam
to begin teaching them the baseline feats all Vonn must
learn.

As expected, Vrill, Roark, and Talvi were competent
in hiding, taking falls, and climbing nearby trees by the time
they became five years old. This was also the year they
started their official schooling. Their government-approved
educational system utilized computers and holograms as well
as comlinks for grading. Vrill was a good student and a fairly
quick learner. As he aged though, Vrill would come to find most
required subjects to fall on the boring side.

Vrill couldn't wait to begin training in Nyu Xaiku. In fact,
Khryyn let his son start a lilttle early (at 7 and three quarters
years old) because it was distracting him from his school
studies and affecting his grades. His instruction began with
learning how to use acrobatics and the ability to take falls
to his advantage. Vrill's training went well, and he had the
basics of evasion down by the time he turned eight. That was
when his full-on training in both Shukai and Ka'takku began.
