Venera Realiscape Plan

Preface

Considering the diversity, nuanced and overall simulationism I push forward in my creative works, I felt like fleshing out the demographics in the Venera / Angora world inside of the [16^12 realis realm / pseudo-fictional historical reality / "campaign" setting] would greatly help you all understand the reach / scope of this project and help myself with immerse myself into it (the personal manifestation-wise aspect to the whole process is serious) fairly soon. Enjoy the listings!

Additional 12 "naturalistic" alien species

Each species have several sub-cultures of their own just like humanity has, just so you know.

a

Ganlarev from the "Uri'dath Star Realm" (FanaticSpiritualist+Authoritarian DiplomaticCorps+PhilosopherKing DictatorialGovernment, Unruly+SlowLearning+Deviants & Ingenious+ExtremelyAdaptive CarcassFungoid Species)

DAAR Awareness (Rogue Servitor Autonomous Service Grid Government, MaintenanceProtocols, DoubleJointed+EmotionEmulators+Durable+Luxurious Androids)

Tal'Akkur from the "Great Tal'Akkur Combine" (FanaticalAuthoritarian+Militarist WarriorCulture+NationalisticZeal DictatorialGovernment, Talented+Intelligent+Enduring+NonAdaptive CockroachArthropoid Species)

Urzo from the "Urzo Assembly" (FanaticPacifist+Xenophobe InwardPerfection+ParliamentarySystem DemocraticGovernment, Wasteful+Decadent+Quarelsome+Venerable+NaturalSociologists Molluscoid Species)

Evandari from the "Evandarian Syndicate" (Xenophile+Pacifist+Materialist FreeHaven+FunctionalArchitects DemocraticGovernment, Charismatic+Industrious+Thrifty+NonAdpative+SlowBreeders MarsupialMammalian Species)

Izki from the "Izki Dominion" (DemocraticGovernment, NaturalPhysicists+Agrarian+Nomadic+Solitary+Weak ButterflyAnthropoid Species)

Kel-Azaan from the "Kel-Azaan Republic" (FanaticMilitarist+Egalitarian WarriorCulture+CitizenService OligarchicGovernment, VeryStrong+Traditional+Deviants+Solitary CrustaceanArthropoid Species)

Lok from the "Lokken Mechanists" (FanaticMaterialist+Xenophile Technocracy+Meritocracy OligarchyGovernment, NaturalEngineers+Talented+QuickLearners+Sedentary LizardReptilian Species)

Glebsig from the "Glebsig Foundation" (FanaticXenophile+Spiritualist ExaltedPriesthood+EfficientBureaucracy OligarchicGovernment, Sedentary+Enduring+Resilient+Conservationist FloatingMolluscoid Species)

Three more post-Stellaris gameplay-span species here (consider all DLCs & personal lore & modding repertoire too...)

Moth-folk (sapient timeless plane-external species originated from the far far away future, to which "The Curator" and his kin belongs to, has a certain mixture of "Vortigaunt community feel" & "Iron Stars' Oracle Timelords" vibe attached, last bastion of biological sapience at the end of times [so DegenerateUniverseEraOnwards Post-RedShiftLoss to HeatDeath] acting as autonomous touristic guides, information preservers, librarian historians & overall agentic servants of the universal root (think of it like the Abrahamic God but as a reality-specific game-master / systemic sapient processor and without any specific alignement unlike celestials, infernals, sylvans which are and stay factional until then) during Judgment [aka when the latest point where the whole reality is processed for timewise linkage and all things computational])

Sabertooth-folk (big cat feline pre-FTL sapient species with a significant role to play after the Nemesis event, competing with Saluki-folk kin)

Saluki-folk (SouthWestAsia+NorthAfrica / SWANA-themed thin canine pre-FTL sapient species with a significant role to play after the Nemesis event, competing with Sabertooth-folk kin)

From 12 to 24 ethereal phenotypes

Keeping the placeholder 5-8 list entries to each list for whenever I decide to fill out those entries with relevant species. Also consider that as a very flexible pantheon where each "Godhood" has their own motives, nuances, diversity and all so closer to TraditionalPolytheism / Animism while keeping the Abrahamic cachet until I learn decently more and grasp better other mythological source materials. And of course, the same intraspecies diversity still applies.

Infernal species (possibly lead by Satan perhaps? And yes, it has a strong Vivienne Medrano "Helluva Boss" cachet)

Devils

Imps

Mariliths

Hellhounds

5

6

7

8

Celestial species (possibly lead by Archangel Michael perhaps? Very different from God themself or whatever universal sapient root they is)

Angels

Cherubs

Thrones

Solars (Angelic God's Intelligent Weaponry)

5

6

7

8

Limbo / Sylvan / Feywild species (seems rather chaotic or undecisive to define here yet, to come up with a decent answer later?)

Fey

Sprites

Dryads

Nymphs

5

6

7

8

Any number of superfluous species to be added below here (consider pre-FTL and pre-sapient kinds too to post-game lore)

Tigerfolk

Hyenafolk

Elkfolk

Boarfolk

Glyptodonfolk

Selkie

Gerbilfolk

Automaton / Android species phenotype (subdivided between instrument & robot & droid & synthetic tiers but might get even more messy granular and potent)

Henceforth for sapient species, the next clades are mostly Cenozoid-inspired (no thanks for calling in Jurassic/Cretaceous dinosaurs, Permian-era clade animals or anything remotely farther than ~50 million years back onto such), officially known galactic-superpower-tier alien species of our local galactic super-cluster / observable universe and overall fantasy tropes'-related species. Depends on what actually works, what feels good to my canon timelines and what needs to be accounted for.

Postface

This article should indicate how dedicated I am working such as to reach what this immersive multimedia manifestation didactic journey represents. Until the moment I update with my Civilization 5 CE vanilla plays & custom maps & scenarios pack (or whatever floats my boat by the next week), farewell!
