Skaulus Rax Character category: RPC Gender: Male Age: 48 Rank: King (1IC) Appearance: Wears a gold crown that originally had silver in its gem slots (the silver has since been transformed into red gems by fire chi), and the suit of Phoenix armor identical to all other non-fire tribe Chimians who've plugged fire chi. In addition to that common suit however, Skaulus wears a large brown cape (which he'd taken off before plugging fire chi, to prevent it from being transformed), printed on the back with the family crest of House Rax. Skaulus has two legs, and does not have four additional spider legs on his back. Weapons and Gear: Gold Fire Vengious sword, and the canon spider blaster from the rock flinger set (now transformed from a venom shooter into a flamethrower). Personality: Skaulus is sometimes vain and arrogant, but is usually serious and a good leader. His philosophy on war is similar to that of Scorpix, although Skaulus is less willing to negotiate. Skaulus despises the Forgotten, and sees them as a terrorist faction. Backstory: Skaulus lived his life in the Gorge of Eternal Depth, where he and a female spider had two children, until he was eventually evolved into a larger, smarter being by the chi Gible dropped. Skaulus, his many siblings, his mate, and their now adult children named themselves, left the Gorge through the tunnels Bliston had found, and formed their family clan, House Rax. Being the eldest living member of the family, Skaulus was the Lord of House Rax, and, along with the other Great houses of the tribe, swore his loyalty to the Queen. Soon after Spilyth overthrew the original Spider Queen and took over the tribe, Forgotten assassins smashed one of Skaulus's favorite sisters. Distraught and angered, Skaulus hated the Forgotten because of this, and House Rax developed a strict anti-Forgotten viewpoint.
House Rax, ruling family of the Spider Tribe (continued)
Severix Rax Character category: NPC Gender: Female Age: 39 Rank: Queen (1IC) Appearance: Wears a crown made of ruby, with dark lava rock in the gem slots. Also wears the traditional suit of Phoenix armor identical to other fire chi wielders. Severix does not have four extra spider legs on her back. Weapons and Gear: The canon fire sword from the sets (the one wielded by Razar and Flinx). Personality: Severix strongly disagreed with the past queens' strict policies of almost always staying underground. Like Bliston, Severix believes territorial expansion is necessary for her species to survive. Backstory: Severix grew up and had her children in the Gorge of Eternal Depth. She lived in the Gorge until Gible dropped chi down there. Now evolved into a larger, smarter beings, Severix, her adult offsprings, her mate, Skaulus, and his extended family formed the Great House Rax of the Spider Tribe. Soon after Spilyth overthrew the original Spider Queen, one of Severix's many sister-in-laws was assassinated by Forgotten spiders, and House Rax developed a strict anti-Forgotten mindset.
Stannis Rax Character category: NPC Gender: Male Age: 23 Rank: Prince (2IC) Appearance: Wears the traditional full-body suit of Phoenix armor, as well as a red side-cape draped over his right shoulder, printed with the family crest of House Rax. Unlike his parents, Stannis does have four additional spider legs on his back. Weapons and Gear: A medieval-looking sword. The blade of the sword glows red hot when its wielder plugs fire chi. He also has a shield that looks like Laval's from the Scorpion Stinger set, except with the trans-blue center swapped out for trans-red. Personality: If Stannis cares about much of anything, he does an outstanding job of hiding it. Despite being the heir to House Rax and the Spider Tribe, Stannis doesn't seem pressured by his responsibility, and has a very nonchalant attitude usually (something that angers his father during serious situations). Backstory: Stannis and his twin sister Seris were born in the Gorge of Eternal Depth, where they lived as primitive beings until being evolved by the chi Gible dropped.
-They nod and casually turn back and walk away...-
“Our numbers grow each and every week, we’ve been wanting more and more ever since our reforms of chain of command, the more dissidents of animals opposing their current leaders, the better!” -one of them said before they all vanished round a corner-
OOC: Uh...what? They're surrounded on all sides by spiders with flamethrowers pointed at them, and if they broke out of that circle they would be chased by more spiders. Like I said, there are spiders crawling all over the cities.
IC: The spiders surrounding the Forgotten continue to move in, weapons pointed in case the Forgotten attempt to fight or flee.
-The Forgotten don't mind the convoy of troops surrounding them as they find their way out.-

The surrounding Spiders fire at the Forgotten's weapons, melting them. The spiders pounce on the weaponless (unless they have any weapons stored in their clothes) Forgotten from all sides.

-These Forgotten soon quickly fight back with their bare arms, legs, appendages and whatnot as they stick together, fighting them all out to the exit of this place-

The spiders call for backup, and more armed spider soldiers swarm at the Forgotten from all sides, running around and on the buildings. The gates at this city's walls are shut when the guards managing the entrance are alerted.

-Sadly, the Forgotten Spiders were quick to surrender and force the Scorps to surrender too, seems like there was a small change of heart anyway, seeing their situation was useless-

The Forgotten are handcuffed and imprisoned. Instead of being put in a dark dungeon in the caverns though, they're put in a large, well-kept prison on the surface, where they're free to roam in the high-walled courtyards. Spider: "We'll keep you here for now. King Skaulus will decide if your punishment should change when he returns."
Princess Seris Rax returns here with an escort of spiders. After putting her baby with an unknown father in bed, Seris, eager to avenge her Queen mother's death, prepares the Spider Army to meet with the Scorpion Army in the Iron Mountains, so they can attack the Valley of Balance. After the army is mobilized on the surface, its soldiers and Spider Stalker mechs powered up with fire chi, Seris returns to the Cavern Kingdom below to make final preparations and ask her father or brother for an update about the preparation of the Scorpion Army.

-These Forgotten growl a bit-
“We were all sent into this environment to go find the Spider Sect Field Commander Spalyx Vance! Something tells us you know her, yes? Her and her famed Scientist Father, Speli Vance, inventor of the Gravi-chi Gun, and the Forgotten Spider Sect Leader! They somehow vanished from us after the explosion Solrac cuased to the City 17 Metropolitan Area and Combine Citadel!”
-such Names would pose trouble and past triggers to thoughts...-

Spider guard: "I don't know who you're talking about." Spider Prison Warden: "I have met that Speli Vance. He was a scientist for the Spider tribe, before leaving the cavern. I think it was either before or during the overthrown Queen Spilyth's reign. I haven't met this 'Solrac', but if he cleared out what the Scorpions call Crystal Crater, I doubt Vance and his daughter could've survived explosions of that magnitude. Then again, I doubted there was another type of chi until recently, so" - shrug - "hell if I know."

(OOC: Spider Tribe = A less dictator-y N. Korea? ) "Solrac's bombing caused the formation of that crater! how could you be so misinformed!? As well as the discovery of Fire Chi!? Shouldn't your leaders and media be telling you officals this sort of stuff!? why keep your public in the dark!?" -A Forgotten Spider spat back-

OOC: I guess it used to be like that, when they were isolated underground. But now Skaulus and Severix have changed that.
IC: Prison Warden: "No, I'm pretty sure the Bear Tribe had created that crater when they destroyed the Scorpions' old HQ, and that Solrac fellow cleared out all the rubble in the crater with explosives. And we only just got out of the caverns recently, so we're still catching up on the news of the outside world. The spiders were barely ever permitted to set foot outside the caverns, up until House Rax rose to leadership."

Spider Prison Warden: "The Rax family, comprised of Lord Skaulus, his wife, his adult children, and his extended family, was one of the Great Houses of the Spider Tribe, sworn to the queen. Lord Skaulus' wife, Lady Severix Rax, was the biological cousin of our previous queen, Spelyne, who had usurped Queen Spilyth. Lady Severix was the only living relative of Spelyne who hadn't accompanied the queen on her voyage into the Arctic to find the 'ice witch' Spelyne had dreamed of, so Severix and her husband were sworn in as our new queen and king following the disappearance of Spelyne. Thus, House Rax is now the ruling family of the Spider Tribe. Unfortunately, we've recently gotten word that Queen Severix has been slain in the Arctic. She'd gone up there to expand our territory and resume the search for her missing cousin."
