Historical Design
The mirrored-Earth concept that evolved into Aris.
Aris is a planet serving as a background setting in Yscariot™. Originally, known
as Planet Mira (the “mirrored Earth”), or Mirror, is the location from which
Joseth originated. This planet was introduced in the storyline in 2000 when the
story was refined with actual names of the current term. Joseth, whose original
name was Quan in "Project Hayato," was supposed to be a shaman from New Mexico but
was born in China.
The people on Aris are supposed to be an alien humanoid race resembling people of
Asia and their physical construct. In contrast, they would not inherit any of the
current or modern architecture’s or lifestyles of Asians, but instead, only hold
their traditions in spiritualism which may include Taoism and Confucianism.
Ironically, the author-creator, Marcus Medina, unknowingly included such elements
into his story after being inspired by the visuals and dialogue of philosophies
introduced and seen in kung fu films. However, Taoism and Confucianism, the most
prevalent forms of ancient Chinese philosophies, were actually not known to him
until 2010.
Planetary History
A world formed with humans first and evolution second.
Aris, unlike Earth, is considered a highly intelligent planet in comparison due to
humans having the ability to perform superhuman activity. The planet has one
creator who was active in leading his creations directly and indirectly through
living vessels.
The planet was said to have been formed by a holy essence. Unlike Earth, creatures
of prehistory and animals experiencing generations of evolution did not precede the
majority human race. Instead, the sole creator of Aris first created humans and
then animals.
The majority of humans inhabiting the planet have orange hair and gold eye color.
Those who reach high energy levels may experience a change in their hair and eyes,
both becoming silver. Due to the rarity of such events, those who reach that level
are often awarded legitimacy to a position in monarchy.
Unfortunately, the transformation is usually too difficult to bear, so if a noble
warrior reaches the level even once, then he will be entrusted as king. Only two
warriors have ever obtained this achievement, with one disappearing forever.
After the Last Great War on Aris, Joseth mentions that the Creator covered the
entire planet in darkness in order to end war and development and return the planet
to primitive times.
Environment
A humid, ring-continent ecosystem under the star Ygros.
Aris has millions of animals roaming the planet. Meat is a preferred meal for
warriors at a time, but the majority of people in current times rely mostly on a
sorcerer's diet.
Many of the Young must eat meat as a form of helping with growth; however, the
majority of their meals are vegetable- or plant-based.
Millions of lush species of grass and insects live in a heat- and humidity-based
ecosystem powered by Ygros, the largest and most powerful star in the Ygros
System.
The land encompassing the planet consists of ring-shaped continents, with former
kingdoms separated by a ring of water. The warmest locations are based near the
ocean hugged by the equator ring.
