I've started writing a short story series called "Under-Reef." and after reading Kaijin's stroy I was inspired to get off my lazy ass and finish the 1st episode. This is only the frist draft so I know its not all that well writen.
I'll probably have to make this more then one post so don't flame me from multible posting.
I know its alot of text.. so if you just wanna read the story then skip the 1st post.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As for a little background info on the stroy:
The city of Cetroixa (pronouced "ce-troy-a") is mostly round in shape and is about the size of a small state or country (about the size of Denmark.) It has many different boroughs. Its population, though unmeasured, is easily over fifty million. Cetroixa’s mostly flat, any mountains were leveled or smoothed so the land would be easier to build upon. The city got its name from a previous ruler, named Cetroix. “Cet” was used in ancient times as a word meaning “king,” and “-a” was often added to the end of a name of a geographical location. The majority of the city is part of a multi-layered metropolis that has complex road ways and mile high buildings of all sorts. Cetroixa does have many more suburban areas and some poor unkept areas.
The planet of Cores is known as Under-Reef to its inhabitants. This is because of the barrier that disallows anyone or anything to go through, with the exception of light. Cores is a about 1.5 times the size of Earth. Besides the large cities, Cores is comprised of large forests, plains and desert areas. There are some mountainous places, but the planet is mostly flat due to the large cities.
Sage Mason is a halfling and she works at a magic store called “The Shop,” though it isn’t zoned for the hiring of halflings. The owner, Rich Brunsmith, feels that the shunning of halflings, shades, elves and other races is a ridiculously arrogant belief. He often allows the minority races work and shop at his store, though if he was ever caught he’d most likely be thrown in jail. Sage appreciates all that Rich has done for her. Though she has a job, she has no where the amount of cash it takes to afford an apartment in the mega-city of Cetroixa. “The Shop” is located in a more suburban area of Cetroixa.

Now I don't tend to stay within standards of myths and races and such.. so here are some of the races, myths and religions that I have made and type up so far.
Cerosaynian- the generic human race. They're very similar to human, which the exception that they have a much larger varity of hair, eye, and skin colors. Also the genetics may vary from kin. For example if the parents of a child both have blue eyes, then the child could still have any eye color. Are they final version of CRS-A experiment. Were orignally spawned from combination of the CRS-Av1.5s (also known as the Aynian race) with the Ceros Stone Engery(CSE). They're very adaptable to most enviroments. They look almost exactly like humans, though are naturally muscular and hairless (except on the head.) Their eye, and hair pigments range more widely and combine strangly, bu their skin pigment is genernal either light, brownish, or blue-ish silver.
Vampires- A shroud and geneticly powerful race. Considered to be one of the oldest races and thought to have been the ones to colonize the planet. Behaves with humunity when around other of its own, but generally dislikes other races. Some had a set of five-fingered hands while others had only three fingered hands that were imbued with sharp claws that transpired from each finger. Usually in addition to having claws they would have two-toed feet, while the five-fingered ones would have five-toed feet. Wings range in many types. Their skin could vary in a large an array of pigments. Are some times mistaken fo Elves.
Shade- A black or grey-ish skined race. The are tall and generally rather strong. Shades are rarely seen in cities, and live in the plains and deserts in small tribes. Also known as the "strong-arms" because of their strength and because some have more then two arms. Were created to be workers but revolted and fromed their own soceities.
Elves- A tall pale fleshed race. They are very loyal to there families, and are generally rather rich. They are often mistaken as vampires. Were created after more Vampire DNA was added Amorlitia DNA.
Halflings- A halfling is a being thats combination of a two or more races. Usually part Cerosaynian, though not always. There are 2 ways someone can become a halfling, Natural and Fusion.
=Natural- A natural halfling is born of parents that are different races.
=Fusion- A fusion halfling is made by injecting different types of cells into one's body. This process cannot be reversed.
Nelverian- One of the oldest races. A noble and scienctifficly powerful. Nomadic space travels that cultivate the universe and create being to live on planets they create with their S.E.M.s. They have a very elvish look. They’re average height being around seven to eight feet. Their hands and feet were that of likeness of a human’s, but they’re hair and eye pigmentations were an odd range of colors, including such colors as pink, silver, yellow , etc.
"
Demonia- A accidently product of the Nelverian's "Angelos project". Made from changing Vampiric Valkyrie cells, called X12-Z Cells. Have no solid genetric code, so they're off spring can look like anything. They can be very voilent, but depending on type they can be helpful. Often refered to as animal or demons. They can look like almost anything, but are usually humanoid. Humaniods' look varies from a more demonaic look to a more human.
Aynian (CRS-A)- CRS-A stands for "Culture Reproduction System- Aynian." They were the first of the Nelverian "Angelos Project". They had many better version finally resulting in Cerosanyian. They are no longer made and have basically become a endangered species. They look just like Cerosaynain.
Amorlitia- Was originally a race made for slavery for the Nelverians. They're basically the same as the Nelverians, though are not as intelligent. They possess great spiritually, and have discover an energy souce called "Ceros" from certain gems. Friendly with most. dislikes Nelverian. They look very Similar like the Nelverian.

Religions- so far I only typed up one of them
Alvidianism- The most popular religion on Cores. Similar to chirstianity, its based off the man named, Alvid. Who suposilly made the planet.

OK.. so thats some gerenal info on the background of the story.. though Under-Reef is only a chunk in a my major porject. I might start writing other series for all the other stories of the project. (odd thing is that they mostly start with a "U")
I'll probably have to make this more then one post so don't flame me from multible posting.
