So I've been thinking... [Matroska]
14 years ago
Why the heck am I limiting my creativity to the universes I've already made?
I should make something new; something separate from the dimensional axis. It's not that I'm bored with manipulators, elementors, and all the other critters in the Dimensional Axis... It's just that the I've kinda hit a wall in their development, and think that I should start something different.
I could never forget my beloved Manipulators.
I'm calling the new world Matroska. Yes, Matroska. Like the Matroska Video and Audio codecs. >.> what of it?
Matroska is a continental island, like Australia. It's isolated from the rest of the planet (temporarily named Theora, which is another video codec) by thousands of miles of ocean. It's got abundant natural resources, and a very active volcano on it's east coast. The continent is loosely banana shaped (its very curved, so probably like a "U"), with several islands in the massive bay that the curve of the land makes. At the bottom-center of the "U" shaped continent is a massive plateau that drops off on one side, but makes a nice slope down towards the big bay. The slope flattens out 2/3rds of the way to the bay, though. Atop the plateau is a big lake, surrounded by a stretch of grassland, which quickly transitions into forest. On the cliff side of the plateau, built right up to the edge of the massive lake, is the capital city of Matroska. I haven't named it yet.
Matroskas theme is Steampunk. The rest of Theora will likely be more futuristic.
Story-wise, the world outside of Matroska is in a big war. And one day, Matroska is discovered, and the people suddenly get sucked into the conflict. The protagonist is a bank robber/general outlaw. I don't have a name for him, and I don't have a species for him. I do know, however, that his species will have long, thin reptilian tails, and amphibian skin. I'll probably update you guys more on the species later this week.
Anywho.. Any thoughts?
EDIT:
The big bay is named Mason Bay
The islands are the Sing archipelago, though people just call them the Burd Islands. (because there's lots of birds there)
The plateau is the called Malp. The lake on top is lake Malpine, and in the forest atop the plateau is the only place where the Malpine Fir tree grows.

All the info in the journal above was made up on the fly in about half an hour, and I rather like it.
