The K'Hara Rebellion
- Background -
= The Origins =
Millions of years ago, The Daam K'Vosh created what the humans call now the Nomads. Three superentities were created, each with their specific role in order to assure a future for the Nomads.
Harbinger, the protector, now master of war.
Aurora, the scientist and creator.
Destiny, whom role has never been known, except from himself and the masters.
After Destiny left, sent on an unknown mission by the Daam K'Vosh, and the masters themselves left Sirius, leaving behind them the hypergate, Aurora and Harbinger found themselves facing a tough challenge: Survive, but also discover what is the meaning of their existence.
Many centuries later, the Nomads had expanded, not only in numbers, but in genetic diversity, new kind of Nomads emerging regulary. The Irra, The Voidrunner...
However this expansion was not answering the core question: why are we here ?
It was decided, in an effort to progress, to do what would be called later The Great Sleep.
The Great Sleep would essentially recall all the Nomads to the hives to physically sleep for two million years, while mentally linking themselves with all the others in the hive, the elders assuring the link with the other hives. In order to make nothing disturbs The Great Sleep, Harbinger and several guardians would stay awake, keeping a watchful eye on the hives.
But a Rheinland expedition arrived in a space it really shouldn't have arrived. The unsuspecting expedition wakes up a hive, captured by the local guardians. Harbinger learns about the arrival of the humans in Sirius, and takes over the hives one by one, slowly isolating Aurora away in an endless sleep.
The wrong move happened in 819 A.S. when the conflict with the Order escalated into a final assault of the Nomads, Harbinger using a weapon known as The Great Destroyer, to erase and change forever Toledo. What he didn't know, was that using this weapon would unload such an amount of energy that all the Nomads that were in range of it redirected a portion of this energy into the Mindshare, destroying all the bonds. Panicked, the Nomads turning crazy as they lost any notion of individuality over the years, Harbinger attempted to quickly recreate a new Mindshare, now known as the Mirrorshare.
Harbinger successfully managed to recapture most of the Nomads, however some refused, proved hostile, or simply vanished... But the collapse of the Mindshare also woke up someone he wish would never have... Aurora, and as it woke up... it was not a happy Nomad.

later ! let's keep some surprises, yes?
- Stuff -
So essentially this post is here because some people wanted to know wtf is going on and give a summary of the current state of the story. Basically, this nomad rebellion is here to provide a different aspect of the Nomad roleplay which is not stuck around red is dead. At the same time, we're expanding some zones of the Nomad lore that weren't covered but also adding new stuff to give diversity to our roleplay which was, well, quite limited in it's previous form.
I've also decided to use this as a justification to simplify a tad the nomad communication style, but not too much. Many players complained that understanding nomad chat was difficult, which is right. So far the feedback has been positive about this simplification.
Please note that while the roleplay is a bit controlled to prevent it from going haywire, it's an open roleplay. Anyone with a morph can decide to hop in, however to use anything bigger than a morph it will be the same as the K'Hara process, this is still the K'Hara| faction, just consider it a branch roleplay. All official faction stuff applies and HuggieSunrise is still your faction leader. This isn't limited to Nomads only either, humans can join, it's just now not only limited to outcasts on Harbinger's side, as Aurora will be fairly more open to everyone, except cardi addicts.
Go ahead if you have questions.
This is not a nomad rant thread, if anyone starts complaining about activity or whatever thing that's not related to this post prepare to find yourself upside down in less than two minutes naked and thrown into a volcano.
