Common main coloring(the orange fur) varies from yellow-orange to dark red, along with a passive gene for black fur.}

Home: {Bridacia, in the Annarvla star system.}

Tech Level: {Medium Race; *type to come when confirmed levels*}

History:

Unknown History: About the time humans started to evolve from chimps, a ancient alien race relocated a couple animal species from Earth and to Bridacia, where, with no natural predators they would evolve like humans. The American Red-Fox breed won as the dominant race because of their superior intelligence to the wolf and feline species that had also been take to Bridacia. This red-Fox species are the Lightfireans.

Known History:

Pre-History:
The oldest records Lightfireans have of their past are inaccurate from a strong religious base. But like most religious books, they have truth in them, that has to be interpreted. These records tell them they were a warlike empire race that started on the largest continent in a island chain. During this time, they focused on strength, instead of technology; completely unlike how they are today. But they conquered the other fox tribes that were on the island chain, they had only crude transports to get around, but they stole some of the boats from the other tribes. Then we know now, that the plates shifted; the islands flooded and their home largest island the volcano erupted. The Lightfireans(At this point of time they did not go by this name, the Lightfire Kingdom had yet been made), got into their crude transports and stolen boats, with no choice but to leave and hope to find new land.

They found the eastern continent and landed there. Almost all the transports had sunk, but the better made stolen ships made it. Unfortunately they landed in a swampy region. Their race was dieing from starvation when they discovered 'magic', according to the ancient religious scripts, and turned the region from swamp to forested grassland. In truth, they discovered this was a cover story for what really happened. A native race from the planet landed there, apparently a more advanced sea-faring race. the Lightfireans were enslaved; but in exchange the other race cleared the swampland and planted the forest... Rather the Lightfireans did, but they taught them how to do it. This other race then left after they had fixed and built new ships, and left; no further evidence of them has been found(This other race is the ancient alien race not letting their creation die, this is not part of known history yet.


Early History:
Now non-religious based writing began. The Lightfireans began to expand and now knew the basics of technology. They began all the steps of becoming a civilization. The Lightfireans based their whole land on the capital; the capital has always been the focal point of the Lightfireans, its never moved. However, the Imperial Monarchy was becoming tyrannical and the people finally had enough, this started the first Lightfirean Civil War. Still claims of magic persist even now. Texts dictate that the emperor was immortal, and that the Elders of the resistance forged a 'soul-sucking' sword call Darkfire. At the same time, the best blacksmith forged the twin sword Lightfire; which was to make it so the emperor could not use his dark magic.

Oddly enough, the Kingdom was not named after their hero; Gar' Malin. He was tasked to kill the emperor. His companion was Gar' Amemron, who just made sure that Malin was happy, by being his cook and journaling the adventure. When they got to the throne room of the castle, Amemron was told to stay outside the room. Malin took Darkfire and entered. Malin then had his epic fight against Garath(the emperor), eventually Garath overpower Malin and disarmed him, also putting him in critical condition. Amemron heard a lull in the fighting and thought the battle won, so he entered to find Garath standing over Malin, about to deliver his final blow. but Amemron, thinking quickly, drew Lightfire and stabbed Garath through his heart from behind. As Garath clasped to his knees in agony, the wounded Malin take back up Darkfire and stabbed Garath in the heart as well, trapping Garath's soul in Darkfire. When the two swords touched in Garath's heart, Lightfire broke in two.

Amemron brought his fallen master out of the dark castle, but it was too late, Malin's wounds were fatal and he died there. Amemron took Darkfire and the pieces of Lightfire and returned to the capital, bearing the news of Garath's defeat and Malin's death. The people wanted to name Amemron the king of the new government, and name the nation after him; he declined and told them to name it 'Lightfire', after the broken sword that had really save the resistance. From then on, the foxes were known as the 'Lightfireans'.


Middle History:
As the Lightfire Kingdom started to expand over most of the eastern continent, they ran into the colonies of the felines. Both sides were caught off guard, but both decided this encounter would be settle with blood. The felines had more numbers, but they Lightfireans were significantly advanced. The biggest advantage the Lightfireans had was gunpowder. the Lightfireans were losing at first, the felines not only were defending their territory, they were expanding; defeating Lightfire rank-and-file armies with guerrilla tactics. But when the Lightfireans found out that these were just colonies and not their homeland, they knew what to do. The Lightfireans had the finest navy in the world, and they put it between the feline's central continent and the north part of the eastern island where the colonies were. Cutting off their supplies, the felines surrendered; leading to the Lightfirean's policy of slavery.

This encounter also sparked the idea that the Lightfireans were the perfect race. They stayed on the Eastern continent till they had taken over it entirely. During this time, the encountered the wolf species at sea. For now they let each other be. the wolves were dealing with famine and the Lightfireans were building up for an invasion of the feline's central continent...


Modern History:
F-Day, south east peninsula of the central continent. Invasion craft land at the shore and the Lightfireans make a sudden, massive push into the feline home continent. The Lightfirean Navy surrounds the whole southern part of the continent, bombarding feline coastal cities. The felines had been preparing for such an assault for decades, but the Lightfireans let false information slip that they would land northside, not south. Within two years the feline species was gone. Either enslaved or eradicated in the Cleansing. The Lightfireans only let the females live, for slaves; and just enough male population to keep the race from being completely extinct, but they are kept in zoos till needed.

They a long period of peace rained. Technology advanced quickly and culture changed all the time. A peaceful revolution took place, and a very organized form of democracy was formed; a Socialist Stepped Democracy, forming the Lightfire Union. More time was taken to carry out all the changes this took, but after people adjusted to the changes, the new system ran flawlessly. But as the Lightfireans pushed into space, they couldn't help but put satellites pointed at Wolfend territory; then they saw images of the wolfs making a very large military... They were not in civil war either.

It could mean only one thing, the wolfs were planning to attack the Lightfireans. The Navy was mobilized to the west side of the central continent and the east side of the east continent, the only two possible invasion vectors. Then, using their new spy satellites the Lightfireans worked on their plan to conquer Wolfend, of the west continent. The Wolfend army they new was too strong to fight. The Lightfireans would win, but not without incredible loses. They choose a different tactic; fear.

The Lightfire Union declared war on the Wolfends. The next day, Lightfirean bombers dropped nuclear bombs on their capital city, and the two other largest cities. Non-nuclear bombers, dropped bombs on all possible nuclear facilities the Wolfends had. The Lightfireans then declared that they had cracked fusion bomb design, and could continue till they glassed the whole continent; which was a lie at the time of course. But the wolfs surrendered and became a slave race as well, however, they were not eradicated, and have since gained many rights.


Current History:
The Lightifreans, now the sole power of their planet; pressed hard into space. After forming a few colonies in their own solar system,a scientist y the name Arf' Malia discovered a way to tap into dark matter; allowing FTL drive to be built. They explored and expanded colonies to many systems. Their current 'jewel in their crown' however is a large planet, but with low mass and a perfect distance from a blue star. The planet's water systems are arranged so perfectly that 80% of the world is habitable, and not only that, but very fertile. It serves as the food production center for the Lightfire Union.


Government: Socialist Stepped Democracy*

Religions: Atheism, Lightfirean Emotionism

Nourishment: {Carnivorous, but like canines of the real world, dog-food like things they can eat, but do not enjoy}

Size: {Around 5 feet 6 inches tall; and 110 pounds. Small creatures}

Stamina: {They can do short bursts of high speed running, and human levels for most else; physically not too strong.}

Mental Aptitude: {Intelligent life, more than humans but evolved later in time so are less-advanced}

Movement Type: {Bipedal}

Movement Speed: {Very fast short dashes, normally walk just slightly faster than a human.}

Morals/Alignment: {They are quite racist, and are prone to do 'mad-scientist' things now, morals? What morals? But to the galactic community they are neutral till they know more what's going on, but they have as poor reputation as many childrens' stories give. Sneaky, under-handed, rouge-like. They could be considered 'Axis', but don't know what the war is about and have yet to make a decision to join or not.}

Average Life-span: {Adding together fast metabolism, but good medical technology. 72}

Fighting Prowess: {Personally, not well. But behind the power of technology, they were to exterminate all other civilization on their home world.}

Armor: {Standard for space-crews is titanium thread jumpsuits; standard for military forces is Powered Armor}

Attacks: {Explain what you want me to base this on? They attack with clawed, strong slaps if unarmed.}

Damage/Attacks: {Explain what you want me to base this on? They cause some bleeding and bad scarring with that unarmed attack}

Unique Defenses: {Running away at faster-than-human speed?...}

Notes: {They get a thicker coat of fur in winter; there is a small population of 'black foxes' with them; the fur main color ranges from yellow-orange to dark-red. Fur texture is how wikipedia described North American foxes, nice, soft fur; not like the European foxes. Eyes are also like wikipedia said, nearsighted; it took them a while to actually realize their eyes were 'bad' because almost all species had bad-eyes too, it wasn't till they actually looked through a concave/convex lens they realized there is more to see. Now most of them get laser-surgery at whatever age it's safe to do so, till then they normally wear glasses or contacts.

The females have always been more 'powerful' than the males, as in, instead of in human history males got the right of vote where women didn't, it was flipped; women had the right to vote first before men did. Why? Well, going back to ancient history here, males knew the females had the children which insured future generations, also they have the ability to do strange things to the male body when looked at(do I need to explain ><) Also, their gods are based on emotions, and women, well, are emotional! So therefor their rights were more than the males.

They all have a lust for exploration. In past ages they were the first to go out to the seas, and then the first of their planet to go to space.

Males over their life become more calm and logical(till around 30 years they are more excited and emotional). Females on the other hand stay excited and emotional, but become more sly than excited.

Also they're morals aren't like the ones humans have, a lot of what is considered 'wrong' to humans is 'dealing with life' to them. Like stealing, the victim needs to be more careful with what he has, and the culprit had to do some thinking on how he was going to get that and not get caught. They lose some morals, but they gain knowledge and knowledge is power for them. Also, bi-curiosity is common in them *cough* change subject.

They can reproduce with the wolves, but other species aren't compatible. With humans? Probably possible but very low likely-hood.}


* Socialist Stepped Democracy: The government in the Lightfire Union provides a very basic package for all of its citizens. They also have monopolies on nearly all parts of the economy, people buy from the government the goods that corporations have in real life. Its a very efficient and organized way to govern, and cuts out all the middle-men, making goods cheaper than goods from other civilizations. Jobs are government based too. During a crisis, this makes it very easy for them to get what they need easily. * Stepped Democracy is the system shown in the 'Lightfire Government' Topic.
