    This may be mentioned in the original post and I missed it, but do all kingdoms have to be humanoid beings?

    -edit-

    Ah I know. Saw it in the rules

    Seems like Griffindor is thinking of something interesting...

    I added some information regarding the relationship between the Emperor and the Kings, as it seemed quite relevant. As always, more information is subject to be added as needed, since there is a lot to take in.

    Adrian looks good. If no more apps are posted soon, I'll start the IC, but apps will still remain open for the foreseeable future.

    What about this for a Kingdom?

    Kingdom Name: Dekyr

    Dominant Race: The dominant race in Dekyr is the Dirak. They are similar to Earth's Manned Wolf in appearance, with their wolf-like features, like reddish fur, large black ears, and a tendency to walk on all fours. Their legs are very long and agile, making them fast and ruthless hunters. They rarely stand on two legs, only standing at their full height to impose fear and show their displeasure. The Dirak's full height can be anywhere from 9 to 12 feet tall.

    Their faces evolved for hunting rather than communication, so while their teeth are sharp enough to pierce metal, communication is more difficult. Translators are often required when speaking with another race. Their noses and mouths evolved to hunt prey, and as a result are large, but their eyesight is terribly weak.

    Membership: Vassal

    Date of Admission: 990 GSY

    Population: est. 80 Billion

    Citizenship: 760 million (<1%)

    Government: The Kingdom of Dekyr is a very decentralized government. It's comprised of many different tribes, each either falling into the Dalium or Doram category.

    The tribes aligned with Dalium worship the moon and value the night and secrecy. The other tribes are aligned with Doram, and worship the sun and value the day and honesty. The kingdom is ruled by a Diriam, a Dirak who's mother and father follow opposing gods. It helps prevent the frequent conflict between the tribes, and is a form of impartial leadership.

    Each tribe also has their own rulers, and they advise the Diriam.

    Culture: The Dirak culture is very hostile and mistrusting of foreigners. They value strength and hard-working over intellect and beauty. Sex is not important in their society, only a means for reproduction. Possessions are also valued less, and as such slavery is seen as terrible. Women are seen as equal to men, and sometimes higher because of their ability to have children.

    Writing and reading aren't very prevalent in their society, and only tribe leaders, record keepers, and the Diriam can read and write in their own native language. It is very guttural, and very few outside of the Dirak can speak it. Those that do work as translators for them.

    Other information: They were forced to join the imperium, and many citizens are angry.

    Country looks pretty good to me, Griffindor. Looking forward to your character! Voting power on the council is pretty negligible with that citizenship, but you can at least have a voice to negotiate and either complain or try to garner support for your character's cause. Dirak tribal culture is as decentralized as can be, by the looks of it.

    Character name: Marak

    Spoiler: Description/Picture 


    Rank/Title/Position: The Diriam

    Kingdom: Dekyr

    Political Philosophy: Decentralist, Liberal, Isolationist

    History: Marak was born from a strategic alliance between the Dalium and Doram tribes. He was raised from birth to lead the people. He was raised by a fierce denmother named Miris, and learned the skills of combat from her. He was taught tribal diplomacy from his biological parents. After a tough struggle between the previous Diriam and his tribal advisors, he was assassinated and Marak replaced him. Shortly after the Imperium showed up with their unusual culture and language and forced them to join. To say the Dirak were upset would be an understatement. Translators had to accompany the higher-up tribesmen, and they are the subject of frequent scorn. Despite deep resentment and hostility, the Dirak know enough about warfare that a rebellion would exterminate them.

    Other information: He does not understand much of the Imperium's culture, and finds them weak. Additionally, Marak's favorite food is grilled abrum, a delicacy on Dekyr.

    Marak is looking good but missing one slight detail... read the rules once again!
