Empire Name: Yippers/Yipprans
Primary Race: Yipper/Yippran
Empire Description: The Yippers are a race that have recently arrived from another universe that doesn't seem to be known to the inhabitants of this one. They are inquisitive, wise, and powerful beings that are arguably the most interesting around. Why are they here? Simple. Their war against the unjust brought them here. I think I'd forgotten to mention that fact-- what they're all about. See, the Yipprans have always been 'the good guys' wherever they were. They hate the unjust, vile, corrupt, and evils of life, and seek to replace all of that crap, with good, righteousness, wholeness, justice, equality, and peace. Their cause is 'utilitarianism' (which is a 'big word' for 'the greater good'). They seek to do good, and help those that need it-- even putting other collectives and people before their own kin. In the universe that they came from, they were very popular. They've been in existence for billions of years, and were fairly 'silent' for about 1/8th of them (which isn't long). They are an example of the 'nobody gone superstar' metaphor.
In fact, a Yippran was quoted as saying "It's crazy how you can go from being Joe Blow, to everybody on your dick-- no homo."
They are as politically powerful, as they are militarily. No one really rises against them in either case, because it would take an assimilation of many collectives to rival such power. Besides, who would ever attempt to war with the universe's 'heroes'? Their zeal for The Greater Good (given many other names in many other cases) has led other empires from the outside looking in to perceive Yipprans as religious-- though they don't waste time with religion, and hold no 'God'. They deem anything evil or corrupt as many negative things-- the 'staple' term being 'heretical'.
Yipprans are known for having superior intellects. They love to learn, create, invent, and repeat. They are very biologically-technological beings-- developing many mental and physical attributes that make them so powerful. A famous one is the Yippran-exclusive trait of 'Altar Power Manipulation'. However, the Yipprans mainly use their superior mental abilities. Not only can they force-develop mental disorders and use them to their advantage, they also posses mind reading, mental blocking, telepathic traits, telekinesis, and pretty-much the entire 'tele' shit. (A series of attributes known as 'Teletier') They are excellent adapters, and can develop immunities and resistances to many things.
To sum it all up, the Yipprans are here to do a job. They won't shift their weight around, they don't have any chips on their shoulders, and they aren't here to bully people for their lunch monies. They are here to bring intergalactic peace and equality to the universe that they are in-- it's that simple. Yipprans are the good guys, and will always be such. No ifs, ands, or buts, no exceptions. If you don't like it, don't let the door hit you where the good Lord would've split you. Yeah, I said it.
Additional Information
Languages and Forms of Communication: The Yipprans are fascinated with all forms of communication, audible, visual-- all kinds. The most popular language is Yip (Yip I is formal, and Yip II is slang/informal), however, the over 140+ nations of Yippernia (as well as some of the planets under Yippran rule) have their own languages. Yipprans are highly cryptic, so it's safe to say that their fascination with all forms of communication has led to the development of Morse Code as a language. Maths, as well, is a language used. There are quite a few, but not too many. You never want to over-do it.
Economy: Yippernia boasts a capitalistic economy. Because of their beliefs in freedom, they have one of the most prominent and successful economies around.
Government: Centralized Confederate Federalist Democracy
In the center of Zanzibar (the entire landmass on Yippernia) there is a shimmering white pentagon (five-sided figure) with lines that divide the shape into five pieces. These are The States of Zanzibar (making up The States of Yippernia). This is where the government is located. The government is split into two halves; The Patriots (diplomatic and federal) and The Peacekeepers (militaristic and confederate). Both the Federal and Defense departments are totally separate and govern the land, while also being tasked with the job of balancing each other. (Sort of like the three governing branches of the United States) Power is divided between The State (the governing area), and The World (the 140+ that border The State). Each nation in The World has its own military, and way of doing things, but ultimately answers to The State. The World has an interesting 'world government' which they install every four years. Based on sportsmanship, The World is ruled by a single nation that is able to win the 'Altar Fight'. Altar Users are selected from a program on The Nest, and are chosen to represent a nation, donning the title of 'Representative Altar Fighter' (Called a Rep Fighter for short). Each nation is grouped into 'Divisions', and can either ally with one another to ensure that at least one of them qualify, or abolish each other from the Tournament early-on to deny their neighbors the chance to develop counter-strategies to use against them. Yipprans are highly competitive, and love sports. Because of this, they have invented a governing style that is built on sportsmanship. There have been other ways to dictate what nation governs The World in the past-- such as other sports, but Altar Fighting is the most prominent, and spectacular. However, there are other sports and competitions that are held (the equivalent of the World Cup, or Super Bowl). All Altar Fights take place on The Nest, and are regulated by The International Altar-Fighting Committee (TIFAC).
*The Yipprans sometimes refer to their species as the 'Utilitarians'-- as they've devoted their entire existence to this cause.
*They might refer to their empire as 'Creep Control'-- 'creep' being Yip slang for 'wrong'. This obviously meshes with their police-force-like ensemble.
*The actual 'empire' of the species is sometimes called 'Creep Control'-- creep is slang for 'wrong', which the Yipprans right.
*More about the empire and species can be found in the planetary forum of Yippernia.
