Sylveran

 

Description

A race described by some as "four-armed, six-eared, Psicho, bunny/cat people." In fact, four-arms are rather unusual (most have only 2) and six ears are quite prestigious (most have none and rely on their psichotic ability to replace their hearing). Although most configurations of arms and ears exist, it is very unusual to have two arms and four ears.*

 

In ancient prehistory, the Encients hollowed out the Hidden Moon and placed the Silver Star at its center. Then the Encients died out, and whatever they may have been planning was never revealed. They had also populated the inner surface of the hollow moon with many species of plants and animals, including the sentient Sylverans. For untold eons these aboriginal Sylveran toiled in the silver-grey light of their sun. At first hunting and gathering, they soon advancing to simple farming communities. They were a simple people with no system of writing and little language. Perhaps they would have remained this way, living their small lives in relative contentment and harmony with their ecosystem.

 

This all changed in 9473, when energies released by a force referred to by later Sylveran historians as Acips Giminimous during The Longest Moment caused the Silver Star to send out a sympathetic pulse of energy that would change the inhabitants of this world forever. Almost overnight the Sylverans, and many other species as well, developed inherent psichotic abilities.

 

Whatever sparked these abilities gave the Sylverans an intense drive to learn about their surroundings, and to record their findings. Hundreds of languages, written and spoken, arose within months. Given that they were all in some way Psichos these languages quickly merged into one unifying lingua franca. The Sylverans then turned their energies to nation building. They quickly built the kingdom of Lanumon, and at its center the gleaming city-castle of the Crystal Palace, a temple to science, philosophy, and learning.

 

The Sylverans made many scientific discoveries, the most advanced of which were in the field of genetic engineering. They pets, livestock, and servant races with equal aplomb. For 1,000 years they kingdom grew and prospered. Then, in the year 10,473, political infighting and intrigue lead to the theft of the Silver Star, plunging the entire world into a state of suspended animation.

 

In the year 19,098, though means probably unintentionally related to energies released by the actions of Aklom Reklats, the Princess of the Royal family of Lanumon was reborn on Battal as Hagane Mikan. At the same time other key figures from Lanuman history were reborn and the ancient political struggle began again to play out. These events are depicted in Pretty Metal Idol Hagane-chan.

 

Eventually Hagane was able to enlist the aid of the powerful Ray the Telesorcerial and return the Silver Star to Lanumon, which revived the world, its inhabitants, and its ecology.

 

Traits of the Sylverans

  • The Sylverans are great lovers of Cheeses, and they harbor the belief that Mort the Dairyman was a Sylveran.
  • The honey-bee-like insectiod Tethos servants, engineered to be sentient by the Sylveran, refer to their masters as "nice but oppressive."
  • Sylveran Elemenstors make up a very small percentage of the populace, and most are Quicksilvers.
  • A luddite population in the Dijeyrdu region shuns technology. They hunt with spear and boomerang.
  • Sylveran society is heavily matriarchal but the males don't care because the females still wear skimpy clothing and don't really make them do that much besides just sit there and look good.
  • OYSTER later revealed that before creating the Sylveran race, they took a poll in Tokyo of what ElamenSTAR fans would like to see the most in a new race. "Bunnygirls" and "Catgirls" ended up tied with each other, so they just went ahead and gave many Sylveran rabbit ears, cat ears, and human ears all at the same time.

 

* Incidentally, the social rejection of Queen Warula because of her ears is what many scholars point to as the contributing factor that led her down her dark path.
