The Sons of Sword Universe is the fictional world that the game Champions of Battle is played in. It is a world thousands of years after a catastrophic even that caused the end of the human race. The human race has been replaced by the last of their creations, small creatures that look and act mostly like humans.
This Crisho race lives at a size scale that is at centimeters to feet with humans. Since they are so small, they have a much greater respect for nature. Things that would not even scare most humans are a major threat to the Crishi. They could be eaten or stepped on with little to no care.
They were created by blending human genes with genes of crickets, grasshoppers, and lizards. This gives them the unique look similar to humans with grasshopper like wings covering their backs; thick striped or spotted skin of almost any color; and limbs that grow back if lost. They have the potential to develop really strong legs capable of the jumping ability seen in grasshoppers and crickets. Also their wings, if freed, can maintain a brief minimally controlled semi-flight after a jump.
In the times of these stories, the most up to date areas use advanced technology to overcome most natural threats. They have flying machines, tanks, blasters, guns, and many other types of weaponry (set to their size of course). They have also built great cities and control relatively great territories. Of these cities and territories, the great capital of Glory City rules over all from the capital nation of Thousand Flowers.
Some territories rely on a more rural form of defense. Some Crishi have energy manipulation skills. The energy skills that are socially acceptable are motion, temperature, electricity, and magnetism. There is a special set of Crisho that can use other types of energy but they are very rarely seen.
Using these skills, they can create an advantage over the wild and each other. Because they have human intelligence they also have most of the human tendencies. As such, some would use these skills to oppress others. The king of Glory City, the Heir of Sword, has set up a school of Protectors. At the school, these warriors train and hone their energy skills, fighting skills, and strategies to protect those that cannot protect themselves.
The Crishi are a durable people with a rich history that were designed to fight against adversity. They however have similar prides and discriminations as humans. I hope you enjoy the stories that tell how their lives unfold.
