UTUMNO
A gloomy looking planet with an initially menacing surface, this world, built mostly for agriculture, houses shelter to many orphaned people. This planet is filled with a mixture of cultures and an eclectic mix of natural areas and emerging industrialism, all under the guidance of the planetary “Lord”, Shale Evans.
World Type: Arid
Climate: Hot
Inhabited: Yes
Brief history: A hot world, Utumno is known for it’s bizarrely colored plants and animals, as well as it’s astoundingly fertile land. This planet is owned by it’s “Lord”, Shale Evans. The woman has since invited several races run off or otherwise made homeless to live on the planet, which, given her affiliation with the Frieza Force, could be considered ironic. The native race living here is the Gaunts, however, a strange, overly tall and grotesque race of pink color. These follow Shale’s rule directly.
Other races on the planet are generally allowed to live as they like, Shale only intervening when there is a lack of law and order. Shale’s only abnormal decrees to those who have come to live on her planet is to defend it, should the need arise, and that none approach her black-iron fortress of Thangorodrim, still under construction, without first obtaining permission.
Quirks: Most of the surface is covered in red and purple grass and trees. While industry now pokes it’s head into the world, it is fairly integrated into the natural beauty of the planet - factories hidden in forests, Or marketplaces made part of a thicket. The planet is home to many different plants and animals that are small, beautiful, and interesting. It also happens to have more than a few megafauna of aberrant origin - the most well-known being the planet’s apex predator, the Nyarlathodopteris, a massive creature that resembles a two-headed variant of the Spinosaurus from Earth’s ancient history.
While most of the land is incredibly fertile, a 400 kilometer radius surrounds Shale’s still-building fortress of thangorodrim (massive black mountains) that is not. Here, the air and sky are grey, and the ground is covered in thick, brownish-grey dust. It is disturbingly barren here, with nothing living in the area except the occasional Gaunt.
Native Species: Yes
Faction allegiance: Independent
Current status: Peaceful
Event list: None

Native Species: Yes
GAUNTS/ASCENDED GAUNTS
Picture (if available)
Average height: ~9 feet (Gaunts)/5-6 feet (Ascended Gaunts)
Average weight: 100-200 kg (Gaunts)/60-100 kg (Ascended Gaunts)
Average power level: Unknown
Technological level: Primitive (Gaunts)/Space Age (Ascended Gaunts)
Faction allegiance: Independent (serve Shale Evans)
Strongest living member: Unknown
Brief description: The gaunts are normally at least nine foot tall, and stand on gangly, misshapen limbs. The look of their flesh is comparable to raw steak or similar meat, being a soft pink. They lack skin. Their “mouth” tends to be a singular hole composed of a similar material to the rest of their bodies, lacking teeth or lips. They lack eyes or a nose, but appear to be able to hear and see using other means.
Gaunts have the natural 10-digits many other races possess, but their own are considerably longer than most, their fingers being half-as-long as their legs are. In combat, the gaunts have some trouble, being incredibly durable, but not made for causing damage to other beings. None are quite sure where they came from, or what they eat, but they serve Shale’s every whim unflinchingly.
Some gaunts have been “Reshaped” by Shale. These more often resemble very tall humans, having been reshaped into a form more pleasing to their master’s eyes.. The only tip-off to their true nature tends to be their yellow eyes. These have been graced with intelligence, wit, and physical power, and appropriately show their gratefulness with an undying loyalty and ferocity. They tend to be powerfully built, the females having a slimmer, muscled build, while the males tend to have a much more muscular frame. Both tend to be found as Shale’s diplomats, guards for important places, Officials, administrators, and overseers of any gaunt-based project. They are also fairly rare at this moment, not numbering more than 10,000 in total.
As these match their lords taste, most would be quite conventionally attractive to the average earthling. Most.
Unlike gaunts, who have low intelligence and tend to acquiese to any request, the Ascended Gaunts tend towards cocky and brash personalities, most likely due to being shaped by a very cocky and brash person. All are still quite loyal and fearful of Shale, and it’s rumored she can take away the gifts she’s given with but a thought.
