| Mae govannen, strangers from distant lands, Bio Union welcomes you. You are in the Tower of Life, a monument, built over the ages, to the birth of life. It reaches a mile into the sky, and on its fair top a glowing orb of light shines like a star in the heaven, and forever it will shine, so long as life thrives upon the world of Valinor.
Who am I? My name is Bagheera, one of the twenty Guardians of Life, and if you wish, I shall tell you of our past... Our story is one marked by the passing of ages and travelling between stars. We came from a faraway planet, Earth, so it was called by its sentient inhabitants, the humans. The humans were a proud race, and their pride had helped them to achieve great things... and also many dreadful deeds. I was a human once, and I saw the wrongdoings of my people. Nature was dying, and as I tried to save what's left of it, I came up with a daring and desperate plan: to rally what support I could get, and construct a spaceship that would carry and seed life on another planet, where nature can take its own course without the interferance of humanity. The project was called Bio Union, and although our technology was primitive at the time, me and my supporters managed to construct a fair ship that could travel to a nearby, inhabitable planet called "Mars". We named it "Gaia", after the Goddess of the Earth in an old human mythology. But the human governments and business corporations attempted to halt my plans out of their greed, for much valuable resources were said to reside within Mars' core. Out of my anger, I turned myself into something else (through the science of genetic engineering)... a creature that is not human, but is to take vengeance on them. I became Bagheera, a black panther from a human tale titled The Jungle Book. The irony of my name I shall explain: Bagheera saved a human in the story, but now I was to hunt down the humans who violated Nature out of greed and ignorance. Countless poachers I hunted down in cold blood, in a land called "Africa"... where I also met Jowana, the fairest of all beings. Time passed, and by a merry chance, the humans seeked me for help. Their government faced a crisis only I could resolve. The details of our dealing I shall not tell here, but the bargain was that they would allow me to carry out the Bio Union project. And that I did. For two and a half hundred years, we lived on Mars in peace; but the humans came most swiftly and unexpectedly... A new government was formed on Earth, and it desired Mars to be under its flag. We were driven out of our homeland, sent away in a spaceship doomed to drift in the vastness of space until the end of time... or so I thought at the time. But fate did not abandon us, and our ship was discvered by a Khrytiannan science drone. The drone brought us to Khrytianna, the home planet of two fair races whose stories must be told on their own. In any case, I helped to settle a dispute that was going on between the two races at the time, and in their gratitude they asked us to stay. And so we seeded a nearby planet with life and named it Valinor, paradise and homeland of a mythical, nature-loving race called the Elves, as told in a human tale long ago... And since then, we and the Khrytiannans watched over one another... and, so I hope, we will walk hand-in-hand, and that wars and chaos will never find us, until the end of time... RP Rules: The Tower of Life is restricted to players of the Guardians only (all Guardians are anthros), though other characters may show if a pre-planned storyline calls for it. |
