SPACE CADETS

King Ynothna rules the Space Cadet Clan with an iron fist. Never scared of a challenge and never scared of a battle. He lost an eye in a fight with the previous King which is how he came to rule the Space Cadet Clan, and he’s willing to lose his other eye to defend his throne. No one will dare.

CITY DWELLERS

King 2Cool’s Kingship was handed down to him after a death in the family. He doesn’t really take life too seriously, but he definitely takes full advantage of all the perks he has being the King of the City Dwellers Clan. Fun is his motto and not caring about anything is his plan. Sounds like a fun lifestyle.

RETRO LOVERS

Meet King Joffy of the Retro Lovers Clan. This guy loves everything retro. They say that he lost the pigment of his skin from watching way too much black-and-white TV. If you ask him what his favorite thing to do, other than watching his old TV, he would definitely say listening to his 80’s hits while reading history books.

JUNGLE HUNTERS

Beware of King Ragji! If you have ever laid eyes on him you probably have some scars to prove it. This dude is no joke. Known to love a fight, King Ragji practices 3 times a day by wrestling with Gorillas! Stay away from this beastly King at all costs.

DESERT NOMADS

This is King Ammon of the Desert Nomads. He comes from the long-lost bloodline of King Tut, the legendary Pharaoh of Egypt. Another stern ruler, but he is just, and looks out for his people above all else. Neighboring countries hate him, but his own people worship him.

ARCTIC ICE FOLK

King Andri of the Arctic Ice Folk is a cunning, deceitful ruler. They say that his heart is colder than the weather in the Arctic. Not one to care for friends so be careful not to get too close or you might get stabbed in the back.

sunset people

King Juergen of the Sunset People is a mystical king. He acquired some superpowers sometime during his reign. Some say that he was abducted by aliens, and some say that it was King Ynothna that granted him his powers. No one really knows, but what we do know is that King Juergen can shoot freaking laser beams out of his eyes!

blue sky villagers

King Dorn of the Blue Sky People is a complete mystery. No one really knows where he came from or how he became the king. He is a master sorcerer and can see the future. There are few people who have actually talked to him. He might not be from this world.

black clan

There are dark places in this world and the undead King Charlie ruler of the Black Clan comes from the darkest. Vampires, Werewolves, Mummies, you name it. The supernatural creatures you fear the most, all hail King Charlie.

red clan

king Bobby, ruler of the Red Clan gained power in the region and changed the name simply because his favorite fruit is red. King Bobby loves apples if you couldn’t tell and has consumed so many that his teeth are falling out. An apple a day did not keep the need for a Dentist away.

pink clan

If you like to party and have a good time then you want to go hang out with the Pink Clan. King Darius loves a good rave, party, event, chill spot, dance hall, Zumba, and petting kittens. Never a dull moment and will definitely drink you under the table.

orange clan

Fascinated with Japanese culture, King Algren of the Orange Clan studied under Samurai masters to learn how to wield a sword. King Algren is the only King known to have fought multiple times with King Ragji and survived. The two of them are sworn enemies and continue their altercations to this day.

Yellow clan

Much to everyone’s surprise, King Zander of the Yellow Clan is a peaceful King. His skin is Fiery red which tends to alarm folks at first sight, but once you start a conversation with King Zander you realize that he is a great person whom you’d be proud to call your King.

Blue clan

King Ronald of the Blue Clan is very introverted. He normally stays to himself and carries a neutralizer around to zap people’s memories so that they will not remember meeting him. That way he can keep a low profile and not have anyone bothering him. He usually runs his Kingdom all through email.

purple clan

The Purple Clan lives up in the mountains on the west coast of the map. They get very little sun and vitamin D due to heavy cloud coverage. King Gwazo is very protective of his land and will do anything to keep his borders closed from unwanted visitors. No one really knows what sort of land you can find in the Purple Clans’ home, but some of the more curious rulers have had their eyes on King Gwazo’s territory for a long time now.

Green clan

The people of the Green Clan like to mind their business and live off of the land. King Nathan is a very simple King whose only ambition is to keep his people fed and safe. There isn’t much use of technology where they’re from, but they use mother nature in very unique and innovative ways.

LORE

This story starts with broken pieces of memory…

Jumbled noises and shouting, flashes of a cave fire. All of a sudden our precious hero Rudy is tossed into the jungle and his vision fades into darkness as he faints into a sleep…

When he woke up he opened his eyes and did not see his parents anywhere. It was light out now and he had a mysterious necklace around his neck with a gem tied to it resting on his chest. For some reason, it was glowing. 

Rudy’s right cheek felt hot and wet and he could smell copper. He felt his face and instantly knew that he was cut and that he was bleeding. He could barely crawl, but he managed to make his way back to the camp where he was thrown from, the night before. There was a mess… but, no sign of his parents anywhere.

He could hear water running in the distance. The gem hanging over his chest seemed to flash faster and faster as he shuffled in that direction. Rudy had hoped that his mom and dad would be at the water and that they would be looking for him too.

It took Rudy a while to make it to the water's edge. He dipped his face in the cooling water and held it there for a  few moments of relief. He quickly opened his eyes in panic, as he remembered his father’s lectures warning him about the dangerous creatures living deep within the water. He took a deep breath in relief, realizing that he was safe for now…Rudy quickly grew sad as he did not spot any sign of his parents. 

Another rush of panic set in as Rudy heard some scuffling coming from behind a nearby bush. He hid behind a boulder close to him with his head poking over the rock just enough for him to peek. Rudy watched as a baby triceratops emerged, and walked slowly toward the water. The baby triceratops took a drink, lifted his head, looked around, and went back in for more. Rudy then noticed some ripples in the water near where the unsuspecting triceratops was standing. “A CROC” Rudy yelled at him. He jumped back just in time to evade a gator’s attempt to make him a meal.

After the alligator swam away, the triceratops turned his attention toward Rudy…He patted the ground as if he were going to charge and Rudy yelled, “It’s Ok, I’m not going to hurt you!” Turns out the lost triceratops was also looking for his parents.

Little did they know that they would become the best of friends…

…

That was many moons ago.

They have been on their own ever since, getting into adventures and surviving in the jungle, while helping as many creatures and people as they possibly can along the way.

Turns out that the necklace that suddenly appeared around Rudy’s neck has some sort of mystical power…

It’s been helping them throughout their journey, as they are ultimately trying to find out where their parents are and what happened to them.
