Right, so... if you're here, you're probably wondering where your character'll be. Well, you're in the right place, first off.

Second, the main planet (although there may be more than one for plot purposes) is called Runera. It has a very Earth-like atmosphere, although it's substantially colder there than on our planet. (Average Temp. is around 78 degrees Fahrenheit, 25.6 degrees Celsius) There are two primary ice continents on the poles with about a 40/60% split between the ice that has land underneath and ice that floats on water but is firmly attached to the rest of the ice. Other than the two Polar continents, there are four others, making a total of six (6) continents on the planet. Each continent lies in a quarter of the planet's remaining area, although there are three that are relatively close to each other. [A picture of the overview of where most of the action will take is attached to this post as untitled.png ]

Runera might be cold overall, but it also has a fair amount of warm spots. One of those are on the various islands, as well as a fair amount of the coasts and the area near the "equator" of the planet. Most of the islands are composed of fishing villages with excellent nearby resources such as metals and petroleum-like substances (Because petroleum might exist in other places in the universe, but in different forms), which has made them a target of exploitation from certain industries. Some islands are populated by the remains of small villages; this was caused by a severe drop in the amount of fish that visited the area during a series of years and no other jobs in the area. This trend is being noticed right now by many scholars, and is the cause of overpopulation in many specific cities.

Technology-wise, Runera is very technologically advanced. Computer systems are widespread, but ease of use is not sacrificed for power and the like. The primary materials used for these computer-based technologies are similar to the ones on our planet, but their use of nanotubes instead of wires is one of the primary differences. In order to produce energy for their electrical needs, the people of this planet concentrate on water-based systems; roughly two-thirds of the power created comes from hydroelectric dams or other water movement system which uses the force of moving water to push turbines, creating energy. The other part (roughly a third of total needs) are met through the burning of the various fuels that exist on the planet.

Culturally, the planet focuses intensely on creative powers. There are often groups of people that perform plays in local theatres every few weeks, and many people flock to watch them. A percentage of those groups are teenagers and the like which, either out of boredom or out of sheer will, create (or recreate) plays of various themes. On a different note, there are a variety of belief systems/religions, concentrating on different ideals. (They will not be mentioned here, but there is a significant number of tangents between those of Runera and those of Earth)

This is Runera. Do you understand what kind of planet it is?
