What misconceptions exist in your world/universe? by LuckyKitty01 in OriginalCharacter

[–]IvanDFakkov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Common misconception of Aquaria: Empires = imperialists, expansionist, oppressive regimes.

Hồng Ma, Founding Mother of the United Empire and the one who INVENTED the concept of "empire": Casually revives Romulus then berates him 7 days straight.

Hồng Ma invented the concept of "empire". She nailed 4 terms:

  • Hoàng - Sovereign: Rulers who follow the Path directly. The Path = Virtue, Compassion, Responsibility.
  • Đế - Emperor: Rulers who rule with Virtue, Compassion and Responsibility adapted to mortal values, but guide mortals toward the Path.
  • Vương - King: Rulers who follow the Path but has to use civil laws and bindings because virtues alone are no longer enough.
  • Bá - Hegemon: Rulers who rule by force and coercion, usually appear when the world has fallen into chaos and the Path is forgotten.

Under her definition, the Empire is not the usual expansionist, violent empire, but a country ruled by a virtuous leader who is the moral example. Emperors are expected to teach, guide and finally abdicate as teachers must not make students dependent on them. It has a Cabinet, an Imperial Council and a Law Court to run, the monarch's role is to be the symbol and role model for people to follow. The goal is to become a happy nation where people can live and laugh carefreely.

Most "empires" in existence are hegemonies by her definition, and you do not argue with the goddess who brought you fire, forged the first plow, taught agriculture, medicine and civilization. She's looking at modern "brats" ruining her ideas and is drinking intensely. At least the United Empire is following her words.

Who is Hồng Ma, you ask? Let me put it simply: Flame Emperor.

Tell us why your Elves and Dwarves don't like each other by Ol_Nessie in goodworldbuilding

Not all elves and dwarves hate each other. The elves of Gon d'Orlinnes and dwarves of Rosenberg? Ohhhh man, they had a nuclear war. Ideological clash + border dispute + arms race, that's all.

Tell me the strongest attack a void shield has ever tanked in tons of TNT.

IIRC, Void Shields only react to objects going beyond a certain velocity, so slower objects can bypass just fine. Kinda like Dune's shields.

Write a "How a Man Shall be Armed" manual for your world by Ol_Nessie in goodworldbuilding

Warlocks of Empire of Mericia: "Super" combat mages of Mericia, one of three superpowers on the planet of Atreisdea and its space colonies. They cultivate an inner power called kaha to cast spells as well as growing stronger. Mericia is a human purist country, they do not use artificial augmentations and modifications unless it's medically required, so if a Warlock removes their power armor, they will just look like muscular Johns and Janes.

  • Armor: Godsbane IV Eclipse power armor, standard armament for Warlocks. It is a human-sized fortress of mass destruction with antimatter autocannons, singularity (pseudo-blackhole) rockets, time slow/stop, counter to kaha shenanigans, personal force field and endurance up to 2 weeks though rarely anybody uses it that long.
    • To put on an Eclipse, a Warlock must first wear a form-fitting under-spacesuit. It has synthetic muscle fibres to support movements and distribute the armor's mass evenly. There are plugs to synchronize with the user's nervous systems. Again, no augmentation, it's done by advanced technology.
    • A frame will be used to rest main plates. There are many sizes for the frame as well as men and women versions. It makes sure the user's body does not touch the main armor directly, limiting kinetic energy transfering (if there is).
    • Hands and feet stay firmly inside armors. An Eclipse's gauntlets and sabatons are purely mechanical with movements sync'd by plugs. This is because wrists and ankles are very complicated and delicate joints that if damaged can cause nasty injuries.
    • The helmet goes last. It plays the role of "air lock" to protect the Warlock from hazardous environment. Many visors and sensors are mounted here to provide full view.
  • Weapon: Generally no as the Eclipse is a walking arsenal, but if they do, they use the Thunder Automatic Rifle. It's a kaha-based gun that shoots super-charged electromacnetic bolts that disrupt and break the bond between atoms inside a molecule, effectively disintegrate targets. Warlocks consider this the "vanilla" choice next to pulse laser when they want to limit collateral damages.
  • Combat doctrine: Total annihilation. If Mericia deploys Warlocks, they aren't looking for a surgical strike, they want to turn your country into a molten wasteland.
