Xotic

"Let them eat larvae!" "-Scythe, Hyve Dictator"

Overview
Xotic is the homeworld of the Hyve.

This planet's surface is covered in acid swamps. Underneath the acid surface is a large system of caves exist, protecting the Hyve that have not gone insane. There are rumors of a massive space colony above the planet that is powered by a mythical ESRU.

Hyve are a race of insectoid creatures that stand around 4-7 feet tall. They progress through life much like an actual insect, progressing from a larvae onward. They can be passive or aggressive, but stay out of their way if they are angry, as they can cause carnage with their acidic properties.

Key Locations

 * Acid Pools: swamps containing mutated and rabid Hyve species variants. It's best to keep away from the Acid Pools as you will constantly be hunted there.
 * Beacon Township: similar to London in Great Britain, this city is a massive underground complex that is illuminated by a giant glowing Clock (like Big Ben) known as the Big 12. The light of this massive tower keeps the Hyve from going insane due to lack of natural light.
 * Mantis Colony: a massive space colony powered by an ESRU. Not much is known about the colony other than rumors that they control all aspects of ground life from above, similar to the illuminati.

NPCs

 * Scythe: a Hyve Dictator that seeks to exert his will on the people using force and any other means necessary. His past is hidden, but some say he was a military official that climbed the ranks through betrayal. Either way - his past is filled with regrettable secrets.
 * Junior: the son of Scythe, head of the rebellion. Seeks to bring his father to justice and establish democracy for the people of the Beacon Township. Hopefully his moral compass is aligned properly should he ever become the next king.


 * Mothman: a mythical creature that supposedly roams the planet, bringing prosperity and sometimes devastation to his cult-like group of followers. His powers are mystical but deadly.

Relics

 * Big 12: a giant clock that illuminates the Beacon Township. Shards of this behemoth may bring untold powers/curses to their wielders.

Quests

 * Down with Scythe: Scythe can only rule as a Dictator for so long! Eventually, his son will step up to try and depose him. Hopefully a proper and just ruler will ascend the throne so the people will suffer no longer.
