Find yourself as a stupid, weak little creature in search of love! Don't lose your head over it, though, it could get you killed.

Tantibus [TAN ⦿ tih ⦿ BUS]

Tantibus is colloquially known as "The Bovidae Planet", due to the evolution of human-esque sheep creatures called Omioso. The planet, despite it's development, is only roughly 3.2 million years old. Their technology, unfortunately, isn't as advanced as it should be. Medicine and surgical procedures have taken a backseat in favor of splicing genes. They're fully fixated on creating new species, such as "monsters", and their subspecies. Monster is simply a term to refer to omioso embryos which were altered with other genes during development. They're also made in labs, post birth.

Tantibus has two thick crusts, the closest to the suns is "Valhallia", residence of angels. Angels, evolved from birds, evolved alongside Omioso, are considered the protectors of the planet. Valhallia is in the same level of existence as the surface. The surface is the second crust, home to omioso and monsters. Beneath the second crust is Infernum, home of demons. Demons are genetically altered angels, first made from stolen embryos. They have goat genes mixed in, and are considered monsters as well. Demons differ from angels, monsters, and omioso via rebirth, their souls permanently linked to the magma at the center of their planet. This phenomenon has no explanation, but is hypothesized to be an issue with a strong supernatural power connected to the core. Demons outlive all of their loved ones. They are dangerous, since they have "benders" (see "demons"), and cannot control their own strength.

Tantibus' currency is colorful beetle shells, since every insect on the planet was killed in a record-breaking heatwave, along with a couple thousand omioso and monsters. Valhallia's temperature is roughly 100 degrees farhenheit, the surface is 79 degrees farhenheit, Infernum is 125 degrees farhenheit. There's a lot of wind in Valhallia, humidity on the surface, and dry heat in Infernum.

Tantibus' regions are Skratmaal [SKrat ⦿ mall]; Arochiae [uh ⦿ ROACH ⦿ ee-uh]; Astrioius [As ⦿ TRIO ⦿ us]; and CENTRAL, ORCHID, and NERVE. NERVE is a region that haven't really been taken care of, and is rather run down. It's been looking better, however, since monsters are willing to venture to the region. Nobody goes to ORCHID, that's a death sentence.

Skratmaal, Arochiae, and Astrioius are all relatively similar. Skratmaal has the largest mortal population and is ironically the most dangerous place for them to stay, Arochiae is a utopia for angels and other creatures without a home and is characterized by the flora, Astrioius is their ocean, home to thousands of houseboats. Astrioius is the safest place to live on Tantibus.

CENTRAL is the medical hub of the planet, where you can find the finest medicine. CENTRAL is the most dangerous place for monsters to visit, and is usually only traversed by omioso and the occasional angel. They have a small population, however, since most of their land has been absorbed by NERVE. CENTRAL is home to creatures who experiment on monsters nonconsentually, and is frequently terrorized by creatures living in NERVE, who resent them. It's a great place to get trafficked and chopped up on vacation next summer.

ORCHID is inhabited by audries, telekinetic lamb creatures created from frozen omioso DNA. Audries were in development to help mortals protect themselves, but the experiments went seriously wrong, creating a species of mutated lamb who resent other living things. Other than the audries, there are many other creatures evolved from animals who weren't made in labs. Though, they're still lethal and will maul anything they see. There are parasites in their water, ones that cause aggression and psychosis. Even the biggest, strongest creatures never visit ORCHID, knowing they will almost certainly die.

NERVE is a demon hotbed on the surface, home to many lost souls. It's a common spot for teen monsters and mortals to visit, as it's a good place to pay a group of demons to gangbang you, or even eat you. The only region that doesn't use shells as currency, instead opting to use teeth and fangs. The creatures in NERVE are effectively being starved, since their food shipments often become lost or overtaken by animals on the outskirts. They want to go home, but they've grown too dependent on their own vices to return. Many mortals and monsters would be eaten if they did.

Meet your lovely captors!
