| You play hockey? Interesting... And thanks.  In other news, I'm about half-way done editing the tech. It's gonna take a bit longer now, as I'm adding a new scene and changing another completely. | |

| In other other news, it took an hour to get to hockey, then two hours to play, then an hour to get back, but there was also about an hour to eat, and a hour or more of shopping, and other stuff...
Stupid interruptions. I have no school tomorrow though, so yay for hopeful progress. | |

| Ok, now that I've gotten most of my real life stuff out of the way I'll start writing an article. - Spoiler:
David Wells is a *insert age here* year old exobiologist working as a volunteer in the extrasolar colony Darwin, on the planet Novusvita in the Algol system. He is also some sort of magical chosen one.
Early life
Stuff about hometown and early life.
Later life (Needs better title)
Has wife, wife pregnant, wife dies, hes accused, runs away to Novusvita. (I'll write more when I can have a better idea of his past and stuff.)
New Life (See what I did there? Cuz he is on Novusvita?)
-Arrives on planet
-Does field research for Donathan
-Donathan dissapears at clearing; Involved in his search
-Finds Donathan; Meets Viera
-Back to Darwin, aircraft brought down by Hunters; saves and saved by Viera
-Finds evidence of electro-communication in wildlife
-Takes Viera on next field study; craft once more brought down
-Encounter with Hunters; tracker removed; saved by Viera
-Survives with Viera in jungle; feels affections towards Viera
-Arm is amputated
-Battle with Hunters; saved by Kenji, who kills Hunter leader Xa'clut'tsu
-Taken back to Darwin
-Kenji tells of electro-magnetic traces of markers
-Kenji elected as new human ambassador
-Shift ends, back to Earth for two weeks, joined by Kenji, Kate and Donathan
Ok, so I started my article on David in those spoilers, but now I think I should start with one about the first book, with a complete summary of it to hopefully make some of this easier. | |

| Okay, but I certainly hope that's the rough draft of the rough draft's rough daft...  Also, that plot summary isn't exactly accurate anymore... And characters' lives should probably (for now) be divided into "Pre-Novel Life" and "Role in the Novels". | |

| I'd say the new topic you made earlier contains much better news.
I think I'll like, summarize the chapters, then make a full summary of the book, then maybe have like... character page article things.
Plot:
-David, Kate and Donathan arrive on Novusvita after about 16 hours of travel in slip stream space aboard the UEF Algol II.
-
Bah, screw it. I've literally sat here for a hour staring at that sentence.
Better idea... I'll um... Ugh...
Do my French homework.
Done, the french that is. Plot stuph.
Ugh. I've spent another half hour of writing crap and deleting it. I'm bad at this. | |

| Ok. I'm sure these articles I write will be great. *sarcasm*
But I guess you could edit them later and make them gooder. Gooder is a word now.
Blargh, I just wrote something and killed it because it sucked. Is there anything I can work on other than wiki articles? I'm horrible at them.
You should make like, a list of stuff that needs to be done. And that isn't a wiki article. Preferable something that doesn't require me being good at anything. | |

| Okay, well, uuuuuh...
Okay, I've got something. If you could search the forum for any and all references to and/or information of the Svia'vi, the Valiero'vi and the Titi'vi and list everything you found, that would be great - I need to write appendixes on those three for the first novel (the second novel will have about the Iga'vi, Jay'vi and Qui'a'vi and the third will have the Aari'vi, Coltun'vi and Oijah'vi). | |

| Ok. Searching for stuff. I can do that. Svia'vi, the Valiero'vi and the Titi'vi... Yes. Speaking of the Xen'vi, it would be good to start filling up this: https://alterverse.forumotion.net/t61-the-xen-vi-from-basicaly-every-angle It would help when you go about writing the supplementary books. Valiero'vi https://alterverse.forumotion.net/t71-valdin-capitol-of-the-valiero-viSo much Valdin info. - Spoiler:
-Valiero’vi ("City People" / Nationals)
The
"city people" of the eastern continent were once a mighty people,
reminiscent of the civilisation Iga once was. They used to rule over
nearly the whole of Cyro'bar, with its vast grasslands (not true grass,
of course) and mighty rivers.
It was during the war that half their nation fell.
Today they keep far from their western borders, in fear of Iga.
They
are skilled in riding creatures similar to what humans would recognise
as horses. Each child is paired with one of these animals (a new born,
in fact) at birth and is taught to ride, what is initially just a pet,
form a young age. The two are partners for life.
Many still live
in the great stone cities of old, but much of the populace also live in
simply hut settlements built of grasses and reeds. Those who live in
these "country" settlements are mostly farmers of vegetation, livestock
and Minerallians, especially "iron trees". The clan have learnt to trade
iron to Iga in exchange for peace.
They have a single leader,
and "elected king", of sorts, who is chosen annually from the best
riders, warriors and wise men of the nation.
It was in their land
that the humans first landed. Unlike the Svia, the Valiero saw humans
as equals, not gods. A concept hard to grasp for some human colonists.
The Valiero allow humans to build colonies in their land, and even allow
some to move into their cities!
Human/Valiero relations are currently working on a universal language for both humans and the Xen'vi to use.
They are humans' "bridge" into Novusvita.
Info from https://alterverse.forumotion.net/t11-the-clans- Spoiler:
Valiero'Vi
Metal swords, spears, pikes and axes, bows only used in naval warfare
Primitive cannons, Arquebus
Few galleys, Horse-like animals
Soldiers made up of large numbers of noblemen and middle class mounted while peasantry are lightly armed and on foot
Info from "That one post of Lichens" which you referred too https://alterverse.forumotion.net/t17-novuvsita-timeline-of-major-events-but-for-now-i-need-more-informationSome of their history is here. - Spoiler:
Veloxequus. Name means "Fast Horse"   Teniusequus. Name means "Slim Horse"   Pinguiequus. Name means "Fat Horse"   They're all of the same genus, Alienusequus "Alien Horse"
My horse monsters that they ride. Then of course there is all the stuff in the novels about them. | |

Stone spears, axes, clubs and bows
Poisonous flora and fauna, trained animals
Horse-like animals
Soldiers
mostly lightly armed often fighting using poisons, traps and enraged
animals, confined by terrain to defense or small skirmish bands when on
the offensive
War stuffs from Lichen - Spoiler:
-Svia’vi ("Tree People" / Sierans)
The
"tree people" of Novusvita's jungles mostly live on the large jungle
island of Siera (as pronounced by humans) and have spread to some other
parts of the world, such as the nearby continents of Cyro'bar, Xena and
Thera'nal.
They live in loose tribes throughout the jungles and
have developed simple tools such as hammers and spears. They often live
in the plentiful tree-like structures throughout the jungles, though
occasionally build huts when large enough trees aren't available.
Unlike
commonly believed, the Svia do have a leader. Two, in fact. A mating
couple, the strongest warrior (normally elected) pared with the female
heir of the previous couple. It's a loose system, as many Svia tribes
hardly ever meet, but it's effective, especially during war.
The Svia treated the humans as gods, when they first arrived.
Stuff from: https://alterverse.forumotion.net/t11-the-clansThen there is stuff from the books. Tita'viComing soon. Gotta go to hockey practice. | |

| Would do more work now, but... DOCTOR WHO FINALE.
Aw man, that was an awesome episode. Anyway, have some info:
Tita'vi
Tita'vi live in basically the untouched northmost
lands, like New Alaska and those big islands east of Xena. I imagine
them to be "sea Eskimos".
The Col'Tun'Vi as inuit/plains indian style people, maybe a subject of a war with the Jay'Vi for the southern tundras.
Then the Tita'Vi a similar thing to the Col'Tun'Vi though perhaps more left alone.
They also like "whaling" large sea
creatures via ships they aquired through trade with Aari. They are
semi-at war with Iga (Iga is trying to take over their territory and
will succeed, for the most part).
The marbles are easy to weigh to see if it's authentic and stuff.
However, only the Valiero fully use this system as currency. Iga, Jay
and Aari also largely uses it, but not quite as much and Tita and Svia
use it somewhat. The other clans solely rely on trading.
There isn't really much about the Tita'vi.
So, is that enough info or is there more out there? This was all I could find. What's next? | |

| That's fine. Oh, and I changed Svia also to being largely trade-driven and I think Col'tun sould be more left alone than Tita. But yes, sea Eskimos indeed. As for what else you could do... Wiki articles? | |
