In the year 8027, the world of Victoriana changed forever. Pollution had overtaken the lands, leaving the Angolians with no choice but to take to the ocean. They adapted quickly, building their new homes on the backs of great leviathans, taming them with an ancient magic that had been passed down through generations. Now known as the Aquilonians, their new way of life brought its own set of challenges. The waters were teeming with dangers, from the puppet-like creatures known as Puppetuals that infested the great garbage piles, to the 10-story tall descendants of Zygaxian giants who seek to add Aquilonian vessels to their trophy collections.
But the Aquilonians were not alone in their quest for survival. They had their Leviathan friends, who proved to be valuable allies in times of need. They had also discovered a new form of energy, a kind of diesel that powered their machines and kept them afloat in their oceanic homes. Yet, as they traversed the vast waters of Oceana Nova, the Aquilonians never forgot their past. They remembered the days of steam and steel, of great machines that powered the world. And they dreamed of a future where the lands were once again inhabitable.
Their hope lay in the legendary Frizz-bees nebula, a place where it was said that a cure for pollution could be found. The Afflicted, who were once healthy and strong, had gone to space in search of this nebula, leaving behind their homes and families. They had yet to return, but the Aquilonians never lost hope that they would find a way to restore their polluted world to its former glory. For now, the Aquilonians continued to sail the seas of Oceana Nova, their diesel-powered vessels and Leviathan friends by their side. They knew that danger lurked around every corner, but they were determined to survive and, one day, thrive in their new home.
Aquilonians
The Aquilonians are a unique people, shaped by their new way of life on the ocean. They have adapted quickly to the challenges of their environment, building their homes on the backs of great leviathans and taming them with an ancient magic that has been passed down through generations. Their diesel-powered vessels are marvels of engineering, capable of traversing the vast waters of Oceana Nova with ease.
But it is not just their technology that sets the Aquilonians apart. They are a resilient people, with a strong sense of community and an unshakeable determination to survive in their new world. After spending centuries polluting their world, they have a deep respect for the elements that surround them, understanding the power of the wind and diesel fuel that propels their vessels forward. Despite the dangers that lurk around every corner, the Aquilonians remain optimistic, driven by the hope that one day soon, the Afflicted will find the legendary Frizz-bees nebula and restore their world to its former glory.
The Aquilonians are also known for their fierce loyalty to one another. They have a deep connection to their leviathan companions, whom they view as family members rather than mere beasts of burden. They have built a strong network of communities across the ocean, working together to share resources and protect one another from the dangers that threaten their survival. Though their world may be polluted and fraught with danger, the Aquilonians remain undaunted, determined to make the best of their new way of life and create a better future for themselves and their loved ones.

Costume and Roleplay
- Aquilonians dress in Victorian or Edwardian fashion, but made out of recycled materials.
- Aquilonians think they are cultured and do their best to be proper even in the most beastly of company.
- Aquilonians always have time for tea and vary rarely get upset about things that don't really concern them.
- (Optional) Most Aquilonians have an NJ, NY, or PA accent.
Space Wolves
The Space Wolves, formerly known as the Afflicted, are a fearsome race of werewolves who have adapted to life in the vast reaches of space. These creatures are unique in that they prefer to remain in wolf form at all times, using their powerful jaws and claws to navigate their environment and hunt for prey. Though they possess a human-like intelligence, they eschew their humanoid form, believing it to be weak and inferior to their natural state.
However, the space wolves are not without their weaknesses. Though they are formidable in battle, their constant state of transformation can be taxing on their bodies, and they must take care to keep themselves well-fed and hydrated to maintain their strength. They are also known for their fierce loyalty to one another, often traveling in packs and working together to take down their prey or defend their territory.
Despite their ferocious nature, the space wolves are not mindless beasts. They are capable of operating complex machinery and have even been known to pilot their own ships, transforming into their humanoid form only to push buttons and make necessary adjustments. Their mastery of technology, combined with their fearsome strength, makes them a force to be reckoned with in the harsh, unforgiving expanse of space.
Although at the time, they claimed to be seeking help for their home planet, the idea of the Frizz-bees nebula was the clever ruse of the last Angolian Prince to be done with their world once and for all.

They are highly intelligent and possess advanced technological knowledge, and are rumored to have been behind many of the great scientific and engineering feats that have taken place on Oceana Nova. Though they are reclusive and seldom seen, the Octopods are widely respected for their knowledge and expertise, and are seen by many as wise and powerful guardians of the ocean's secrets.

The Great Drain
The disappearance of the Mersapiens, the merfolk of Atlantis, is a tragic tale that still haunts the oceans of Oceana Nova to this day. When a plug in the ocean caused their world to drain into the new realm, the Mersapiens found themselves caught in a devastating vortex of water, swirling down into the abyss below. Despite their incredible strength and resilience, they were unable to resist the powerful current, and were sucked out of their realm and into the unknown depths of Oceana Nova.
The Great Drain, as the event came to be known, was a chaotic and but often humorous affair. Many of the other races on Oceana Nova watched in awe as the merfolk went hurtling by, some flailing wildly like they forgot how to swim, while others clung to bits of realm debris in a desperate bid to stay afloat. Some of the more mischievous creatures even took to snatching up the hapless Mersapiens as they went whizzing by, using them as impromptu water skis or simply tossing them back into the whirlpool for fun. Despite the levity of these antics, however, the disappearance of the Mersapiens remains a somber reminder of the many dangers and mysteries that lie hidden beneath the waves. There are even rumors that they serve a new king....
