Major Race(s):

Aryites: Created in the image of their god, the Aryites are a lion-like humanoid race. They stand on average about 7-8 feet in height with builds ranging from lean and slender to large and bulky. Fur, ranging from glossy blacks to pale yellows, covers their bodies. Some of them possess manes that are trimmed, tied back, or that are formed into dreadlocks. They usually dress themselves in leather or cloth clothing. Tails sway beneath hand-made dresses and between trouser covered legs. Whiskers twitch on sun-tanned faces.

The Aryites are renowned for their masonry, craftsmanship, and architecture, and are highly sought after for their skills. They are primarily a peaceful race of scholars, scribes, magi, philosophers, masons, craftsmen, and priests, but when provoked they are a terrible and awe-inspiring sight on the battle field. Aryites hold honor, courage, and strength in high regard. Over the eons they have been almost utterly destroyed countless times by tyrants and their servants. The Aryites are unrelenting and fearless in battle, and they will never stand for their sovereignty to be encroached upon.



Rokin: A mysterious race of shamanistic, humanoid bird creatures. They dwell in the vast Mountains of Rok in near perfect seclusion. The Rokin are incredibly skilled in archery, elemental magic, and song. They are led by the wise (yet indecisive) oligarchy of the Council and are rumored to receive guidance from Go'ath the Storm Maker, the Wind Lord.



Terronians: Four sects - wind, Water, Earth, and Fire... They are united under the virtually omnipotent celestial being Ter’ron the Warden. Go'ath the Storm Maker, the Wind Lord; Aigaioth, Lord of the Sea; Munio Earthshatter, the Mountain King; and Brailan Embertongue, the Fire Lord; all serve under him. They aide the Aryites and Rokin out of honor of a long lasting friendship, though they care little for events beyond their world.



Derew: Not much is known about this strange race of tree-like beings, other than that they have built a "living" citadel out of stone and trees in the center of a massive forest. Until about a few decades prior, few believed they even existed. Their command over nature is awe inspiring as they cause vegetation to grow spontaneously or come to life and attack their enemies.

I like it a lot. It's interesting and different. +10.

Your population is a little on the low side, though. Most of us number in the low billions, and you would lose any war by virtue of sheer numbers. I'm also not sure if that would really be enough to sustain an advanced industrial economy. I would multiply all of your population numbers by a hundred if I were you (essentially adding two zeros to the end).

Yeah I get the population part. Problem is, the Khroniktan Alliance is a comparatively new nation. They only stepped off their home planet a couple centuries ago. I plan to balance off the small numbers with unconventional battle tactics and firepower.

That might be true, but look at it this way: we haven't gotten off Earth yet, but we're still several hundred years ahead of your population. Assuming that your people hit their Industrial Revolution at least a few hundred years ago (which it sounds like it should) their population should have surged a while ago. Additionally, with technology advanced enough to build (and support!) a future tech empire, you should be at least in the low billions and given enough colonization you should be in the tens of billions. For realism's sake, it would really be advised to increase your population, and even with unique battle tactics it wouldn't do much good when you're outnumbered 100-to-1. As it is, my military is about the same size as your population and it's not even a particularly large proportion of my population. I again would advise multiplying by a hundred - it would still be relatively small compared to the established powers (although they too haven't been in space that long), but it would still be reasonable in size.

Just think of it from this point of view: imagine trying to run modern Earth with only fifty million people. Now make the technology ten times more complicated, and then... yeah. Please, consider making the change, it would really make things easier you.

You underestimate the power of automation, Sela. It's possible under the right conditions.

I do agree with Sela that it would be advisable to increase your population, for the reason that it will make you generally stronger, though.

It's up to you in the end, Kronkite.

I'll try to make it work. A large portion of the Khroniktan army is made up of arcane constructs as well, which can be mass produced (basically a droid army). If it turns out I need to have a bigger population, then I'll pull a "wibbly wobbly, timey wimey" card, since the homeworld of the Khroniktan Alliance is located in another dimension/time.

Alright, will be interested to see how you make it work

Also, if you want to retcon, you really don't need to bother explaining. We change continuities at the drop of the hat around here
