 * Name: Steve
 * Age: 22
 * Location: Essex, England
 * Occupation: Spore player (I also have a job in between.)
 * Favourite genre of music: Rap, (not the commercial shit that is classed as rap nowadays.) Although I also listen to a lot of metal (thrash, death and black mainly, not too keen on progressive) 60's, 70's, 80's rock, reggae and a little electronic music. In fact the only genre of music I really hate is garage/drum'n'bass (and possibly pop music.)

I might add that I abhor userboxes, they look messy and don't add anything constructive to a page. Don't agree with this statement? HAH!

Auyk'nyaov'ehritu'tisklu era (nanorobotic era)

Life in the oceans
The Oronusian race began life around 2.3 billion years ago on the planet Oronus. They were an advanced form of the herbivorous Oronusi tanganega cell, one of the first lifeforms to have evolved on the planet. Like all life they once called the depths of the oceans their home. While they evolved in the primordial tide pool they gained many characteristics that would later lead them to greatness, the Oronusian spawn - called Hyn'vuau'guli'eluti (the young great ones) by Oronusian pastsighters - were extremely vicious, and would devour any cells that were foolish enough to wander too close to their large jaws, they even attempted to attack much larger cells, which would usually result in the Elatti being eaten. Over the aeons they grew in size from only a few millimetres to almost a metre, they were established as a bold and daring species and quickly assumed the position of top predator, with this summit reached there was only one place for them to go.

Arrival on land
After 1.7 billion years of ocean life the Elatti finally climbed the sandy banks of its home planet for the first time, quickly establishing themselves. They were unevolved and unfamiliar in their new kingdom and had to reclaim their place amongst the other species, ironically many of the creatures already inhabiting the planet had evolved to live on land to avoid the Elatti in the ocean depths, and were now once again their prey. Becoming dominant again was difficult for the aggressive and solitary Elatti, as other species tended to stick together and were hard to separate and single out.

Another 450 million years had passed and the Elatti were at their peak, physically dominating and relying on their strength to elevate them above other subservient species. It was around this time that they realised the importance of grouping together, and gradually future generations would roam in packs of three or four, an unstoppable force, they would wipe out entire nests and feast on the remains of their victims before moving on. As their species bonded they developed simple socialising skills, singing and dancing to communicate their thoughts, during this unity their hunger for dominance became more insatiable, and they became known as Oronusian Elatti. An ancient rite of passage for young Oronusians was to claim the claw of an epic Rykross during battle with the great beast. There were few creatures who asserted their dominance over the land like the Oronusians, although they had become more dependant on one another, it proved to be a step in the right direction, it wasn't long until sentience beckoned.

Tribal customs
Upon discovering fire the Oronusians formed their first tribe - known as the Gului'mag'eluti (ones of greater knowledge) - and set about taming the wilderness, it wasn't long until other tribes were formed, either by members of the original tribe branching out or by other sentient species looking to gain the upper hand.

Other tribes included:


 * Gyeri'maitlui (Masters of fire)
 * Shalti'eluti (Ones of power)
 * Falih'aykis'esirni (Free spirit runners)
 * Hyn'iili'tunji (The living gods)

The Gului'mag'eluti worshipped Oronusiil, the first of the gods, believing him to be the guardian of Oronus and protector of life on the planet. In reality the Oronusiil were an ancient species that once inhabited the planet, they were of hyper epic size, standing at approximately 12.7m (41ft 6in) tall. Although the Oronusiil died out millions of years before the Oronusians crawled from the sea their remains littered the sandy planet and their skeletons stood as monuments, stark reminders of an era gone by. It is generally regarded by the Oronusian pastsighters that Oronusiil was placed on the planet to repel the evil Tanjhuyron and ensure the continued harmony that would eventually allow their species to evolve. After defeating the Tanjhuyron, Oronusiil remained on the planet until his death, upon which his immortal spirit ascended to the enthyanti'raiuun'ghyn'iilu (ethereal realm of the gods.)

The second tribe formed was the Gyeri'maitlui, they were an offshoot of the Gului'mag'eluti, founded many thouands of years after the first tribe. Their religious views differed from the Gului'mag'eluti, they instead worshipped Gyerfiil, believing him to be the rightful protector of the planet. Although the Gului'mag'eluti initially tried to befriend them, the Gyeri'maitlui were resistant and attacked the other tribe which began a bitter war between the two. They fought for many centuries until the Gyeri'maitlui were weakened when the Gului'mag'eluti killed their chieftain. A young Oronusian called D'mshis'hyn'wraukti assumed control of the Gyeri'maitlui and ordered an immediate attack on the Gului'mag'eluti village. The diminished tribe stood no chance against the much larger and better prepared Gului'mag'eluti, and their attack failed. The Gyeri'maitlui immediately surrendered, their chieftain was executed in a brutal public display and the remaining members returned to the Gului'mag'eluti tribe.

The third tribe, the Shalti'eluti were formed from the Oronusi tulumptidae; a primitive ancestor of the Elatti. They had no religious beliefs, and the Gului'mag'eluti soon set about converting them. The Shalti'eluti were a friendly tribe who saw the advantage of trading, after many centuries the two tribes eventually became allies.

After uniting the scattered tribes the Oronusians turned their attention to other creatures who had gained sentience and were forming tribes of their own. Seeing them as unwilling to cooperate and submit to the Oronusian way of life, the only option was to eradicate them, the unified Oronusians were unrelenting in their attacks on the smalller villages, and soon the remaining tribes were wiped out. In celebration of their victory the Oronusians began building a vast temple to worship Oronusiil, this would be the site of their first city; Oronusi'hyn'gul'siyuhu (city of the great Oronusi) and signal an end to the nomadic era.
