Most of my stories take place somewhere in the timeline of a species called the Lupa, which draw from my scifi/fantasy background. Native to a far-off planet, they have not one, but two forms, and a very different way of life. Some stories involve Earth, while others do not. Some are still only in the planning stage, and none are yet complete–I keep finding new things to do with some of them.
Over time, I’ve acquired a list of the stories I’d like to write, and admittedly most of them take place around our own period of time, although some of them are quite spread out. Some of these stories were also influenced by events in an online role-play with many other characters, and these people helped me shaped the Lupa world into what it is with their support, knowledge, and feedback.
About the Lupa
(An excerpt from the Wiki)
The Lupa are a species of people from the planet xcheamo who have two forms. This allows them to live in the harsh conditions of their planet, which is full of extremely high-grade poisons and large, nasty predators. They are prone to interpersonal fighting and in general are physically active, adept, and masters of the body. As a social collective, their viewpoint is rather different than that of Humans.
Personality of a People
The Lupa are a people that are personally aggressive, yet socially peace-driven. The ultimate goal is always peace, which has been reinforced by events in their past. Having a fight with a friend or someone you disagree with is normal, while one would never have a physical fight over territory or trade agreements. Such disputes are handled openly before the community at large. Dominance plays a large role in Lupa society, structure, and culture.
The Lupa are very concerned with nature and not messing it up. They live very much in their environment. Beauty is considered directly tied to what is natural, and they take care to preserve it. Destroying land when it’s not absolutely necessary is an appalling idea to them, and even so they would do it reluctantly.
Most Lupa have problems with heights, being near larger fires (more than one would use for cooking) and large bodies of water. They typically don’t like flying or going to sea; they’d much rather keep their feet on the ground. Similarly, they also dislike being underground. Hunters and Urvenis are the people most feared by Lupa in general. However, they will sleep easily when surrounded by rhythmic sounds like waves at the beach, or in warm, sunny places.
As one might say that Vulcans are a race that conquers the mind, the Lupa are a race that conquers the body, and even the average Lupa has better mastery over the body than most Humans. They are taught detailed physiology and biology from a young age, and how each part, bone, or muscle, of their bodies physically work and feel. This enables them to learn new physical activities or movements quickly, and someone with a high level of training may be able to mimic members of elite sports or types of movements, such as ballet or fighting styles just by watching for a relatively short amount of tim
