0. The Book of Humanity - Alpha Hu-Men

In the first month of the first cosmic year, the Creator God of the Tzion Universe—known as Goddark, the Grand Architect and Father of All Sapiens—brought into existence thousands of planets known as Vita: twin celestial bodies, identical to one another, scattered across the Tzion Universe and specially designed to harbour and sustain Sapiens life.

Upon these sacred worlds, Goddark created all vegetation, waters, beasts, reptiles, and mammals. He separated light from darkness, establishing the sacred cycle of day and night across the lands. His divine act of Genesis gave rise to the ecosystems of paradise.

Then came the first Hominids—primitive beings of flesh, shaped from divine mud and breath. These early creations were imperfect: physically incomplete, mentally erratic, and spiritually disconnected. The Grand Architect saw the need to refine them. Thus began the Great Cycle of Correction.

THE GREAT CYCLE OF CORRECTION 

These primitive beings, known as the race of Hominids, possessed a distinct set of characteristics that set them apart from lesser lifeforms. Their senses had evolved with precision. Their five-digit extremities, nimble and versatile, allowed for the complex manipulation of tools and sparked the flame of creativity that would define their species.

And yet, despite these gifts, they were incomplete—raw potential waiting to be refined.

Over time, those hominids whose appearance more closely resembled that of apes than of true humans began to vanish.

The Hominids were gradually replaced by a new race: the Men. Physically superior in their build, with refined and enhanced features—more harmonious, beautiful, and perfected—they marked a new stage in the development of intelligent life. And yet, they were still far from reaching their ultimate form.

From their very first appearance, it was evident that Men were not meant to remain as they were. To survive, they would need to evolve; to do so, they required guidance—refinement toward a higher state of being. To truly flourish, they would have to ascend. Thus began the extraordinary journey of their transformation: an evolutionary odyssey set in motion nearly twelve billion years ago, led and orchestrated by the Grand Architect of all Sapiens.

Guided by forces both visible and invisible, through cycles of suffering and splendour, the race of Men stood at the threshold of something far greater. The need for refinement had become urgent, for although they were an improvement over the primitive Hominids, it was clear that their current form was still inadequate for survival. The world around them, though lush and breathtaking in its beauty, was also wild, volatile, and perilous beyond measure.

Their limitations—of body, mind, and spirit—became the crucible through which their destiny would be reforged.

This sacred march toward transcendence was not a mere evolution; it was a rebirth.

But let there be no misconception: this Revolution of the Men was neither spontaneous nor gradual, as a naïve reader might be inclined to imagine. It did not stem from random mutation, nor from the slow drift of natural selection.

No.

To assume that such a colossal transformation unfolded without intervention—or without divine orchestration upon the consecrated planets of Vita—is a grave misunderstanding.

Something—someone—intervened.

And from that intervention, a new genesis emerged.

THE GREAT EMERGENCE OF THE HU-MEN SPECIES IN THE UNIVERSE OF TZION

As previously laid out, the race of Men were little more than creatures of flesh, toiling for survival in a cosmos that demanded something far more.

But the Cosmos does not pause, and the era for Guided Evolution—toward humanity’s ultimate form—had arrived.

Across the lush worlds of the countless Vita planets scattered through the Universe of Tzion, something extraordinary transpired. By the decree of Goddark—the Grand Architect of all Sapiens, a force whose will resonates through the galaxies of Tzion—a new power was birthed. A force that would sculpt a new humanity: a species forged not by nature, but by divine intention—by a purpose and intelligence infinitely superior to all that had preceded it.

These newly elevated beings came to be known as the Hu-Men.

They were not the next rung in the ladder of evolution.
They were the leap beyond it.

THE HU-MEN AND THEIR EXTRAORDINARY ARRIVAL IN THE UNIVERSE OF TZION

Although the races of Men and Hu-Men were physically similar—often indistinguishable at a glance—the Hu-Men were, in truth, something entirely other. Far beyond anything the mind might envision when imagining “humans,” they were beings of overwhelming capability: faster, stronger, and far more intelligent than any who had preceded them. Their superiority over the scattered Human populations of Tzion was not a matter of debate—it was a truth felt in the marrow of all who beheld them. Their very presence bent the fabric of perception, radiating an essence that blurred the line between mortal and divine. In essence, they were not merely evolved—they were exalted. Demigods, walking among mortals.

Genetically honed and evolutionarily perfected, the Hu-Men manifested the sacred triad of mind, body, and spirit in flawless unity. Their intellect eclipsed all the primitive notions of early Men; their senses transcended the visible and the known; and their bodies—resilient, enduring, nearly ageless—acted as vessels for cosmic purpose. Yet their magnificence was not merely physical—it was existential.

Marked with the sacred seal of the Architect, the Hu-Men were not born to adapt to the Universe of Tzion.
They were born to shape it.

Their arrival signaled the birth of a new era—an age where life would no longer be ruled by fear or instinct, but by clarity, intention, and sacred will.

Thus, within the tapestry of intelligent human species in the Universe of Tzion, two races coexisted—visibly alike, yet intrinsically alien to each other:

The Men — primitive, reactive, and only mildly intelligent. Their bodies were squat, their thinking linear, their strength unremarkable.

And the Hu-Men — radiant beings of elegance and power, verging on the divine. Their symmetry was near perfect; their gaze glowed with unfathomable light. They were tranquil, unfathomable—as if carved from another realm entirely.

But how did the Hu-Men come to exist within the Universe of Tzion?
In the most enigmatic and awe-inspiring way conceivable:

This revelation unfolded at once across the thousands of Vita planets that orbit the galaxies of Tzion, as though timed by a celestial conductor. One day, the scattered tribes of Men—drifting through the wild forests of the Vita worlds—stumbled upon a gathering of children. These figures were unlike anything the Men had ever laid eyes upon, yet they exuded something unmistakably transcendent—an energy that felt holy, weightless… divine.

They bore no arms. They uttered no sound.
And yet, their presence alone commanded reverence—pure, overwhelming, sacred.

The Men stood frozen, watching.
These beings emanated an invisible energy—subtle yet undeniable—that stirred something deep within those who beheld them. An instinctual certainty arose, impossible to explain but impossible to ignore:
These were not creatures of their world.
They belonged to something higher, something beyond.
And yet, something deep within them recognised the children—like remembering a dream long forgotten.

It was the first encounter.
The first spark.
The moment when destiny began to whisper across the stars.

Rather than destroy them, the Men chose a different path—one that would change the course of history.

They welcomed the Hu-Men children into their tribes, not out of duty or fear, but from a strange and silent reverence. These beings radiated something the Men could not explain—a presence, quiet yet powerful, that inspired awe even in the fiercest warriors. And so, the children were raised among them—fed, taught, and observed with curiosity and wonder.

Time flowed. And with it, destiny unfolded.

The Hu-Men matured swiftly. Their bodies grew tall and lean, sculpted like living statues—muscular yet graceful. But it was their minds that astonished the elders. Their thoughts moved like rivers of light—fast, structured, and filled with clarity. They learned language not in years, but in weeks. They built shelters that did not crumble. They crafted tools with precision, music with soul, and questions that pierced the very heart of the cosmos.

Their cerebral cortex was vastly superior to that of the Men—capable of weaving together logic, emotion, memory, and vision. While the Men relied on instinct and tradition, the Hu-Men dreamed of stars, contemplated the unknown, and searched for meaning beyond mere survival.

But what truly set them apart was their spirit.

They were not merely hunters or warriors; they were architects of culture. They taught the Men to cultivate the soil rather than fight over it. They painted visions of the universe upon cave walls, turning stone into sacred scripture. They spoke of peace, of unity, of something they called purpose. And in doing so, they began to transform the tribes from within.

The two species—once so different in esence—began to intertwine. They shared stories, rituals, and nourished one another in mind, body, and soul. The Men taught the Hu-Men the ways of the earth—how to track the winds, interpret animal signs, and honour the spirit of the hunt. The Hu-Men, in turn, introduced them to the stars, to numbers, to the shaping of thought through language and symbol. Together, they forged new myths, sang new songs, and birthed new ceremonies that neither species could have imagined alone.

From their union sprang not only a richer way of life, but the very first shared civilisation in the Universe of Tzion—a bridge between the primal and the celestial. No longer strangers, they became kin in purpose, each completing what the other lacked.

And so began the golden age of harmony—brief, brilliant, and destined to be tested.

THE FALL OF THE FIRST BLOOD

But the world, as it so often does, did not remain in a state of splendour and abundance. The Vita planets began to change.

The balance of nature fractured. The skies darkened. The seasons twisted. Winters grew longer, biting into the land with cruel and unrelenting cold. Summers burned fiercer, drying up rivers and reducing forests to ash. And with these changes came the return of ancient terrors: titanic reptilian predators—Dinotopias, they would later be called—long thought extinct, now awakened from the forgotten corners of the world. Beasts of scale and fury, driven by hunger and instinct, swept across the land like living storms.

The Men were not prepared.

Bound by instincts too slow to evolve, they lacked the knowledge and strength to face such monsters. They were easy prey. Fear took root deep within them. Entire tribes vanished overnight, devoured by the jaws of this new age.

One by one, tribe by tribe, the Men fell into extinction—not through war, nor hatred, but by the quiet, relentless hand of time and nature. The forests that had once echoed with their chants and laughter grew silent.

But the Hu-Men endured.

Their knowledge became their shield. Their unity, their strength. Where the Men scattered, the Hu-Men organised. Where the Men wept, the Hu-Men adapted and grew stronger. Their true powers emerged in the face of adversity, and the demigods they were destined to become began to awaken in full. As the wild world reshaped itself into something harsher and more perilous, the Hu-Men stood firm—unshaken, undefeated, reborn.

THE AGE OF ASCENT AND THE GARDENS OF EDEN

With their sharpened intellects, awakened spiritual instincts, and bodies honed to near-perfection, the Hu-Men did not merely survive the cataclysm that reshaped the Vita Planets —they transcended it.

In the silence left by the extinction of the Men, they rose as stewards of a new order. They studied the chaos, understood the cycles of destruction, and turned adversity into wisdom. With an unshakable sense of purpose encoded deep within them by the Great Architect, they began to mold the world—not in conquest, but in harmony.

They tamed the beasts. They healed the scarred earth. They turned deserts into gardens, ice into flowing water, and ash into soil. Their mastery of nature and ancestral wisdom fused into a single philosophy: not to dominate the land, but to become one with it. And in time, their influence spread—not only across the continents of The Vita Planets, but through the starways that connected the planets of the Universe of Tzion.

Each Vita planet, once wild and unpredictable, blossomed under Hu-Men stewardship. Forests grew tall and ancient again, oceans teemed with awakened life, skies cleared, and peace reigned. Monumental temples, grown from stone and crystal rather than built, rose to honour the balance between spirit and matter. Entire cities pulsed with energy that neither polluted nor destroyed, but harmonized. Civilization and wilderness were no longer enemies—they were extensions of one another.

These transformed worlds came to be known, in the sacred tongue of the Hu-Men, as the Gardens of Eden—living testaments to a species that had evolved beyond survival, and stepped fully into its divine mandate. Not merely homes, but sanctuaries. Not merely worlds, but reflections of the Architect’s original dream.

Here, in the Gardens, knowledge flourished like sunlight through leaves. Art reached new heights. Music resonated with the frequency of stars. The Hu-Men began to explore the higher mysteries of existence—not just the nature of matter, but of soul, of destiny, of creation itself.

It was an age of harmony.  
An age of ascension. The Age of Hu-Men

THE ALPHA HU-MEN: BEARERS OF THE FIRST LIGHT

As you should already know, the Hu-Men who walked the planets of Vita and breathed beneath the stars of Tzion chose a path of peaceful coexistence. They did not build empires of tyranny. They did not forge armies driven by conquest. Instead, they nurtured life in all its forms. They tilled fertile soils, fished from pure waters, wandered through sacred forests with reverence, and raised their families within tightly woven communities bound by trust, empathy, and sacred tradition.

Their strength was not measured in weapons, but in wisdom.  
Their power was not expressed through domination, but through harmony.

These Hu-Men—pure of heart and noble in spirit—made up the great majority of their kind, and would come to be known as the Alpha Hu-Men: a sacred lineage of Sapiens whose very existence honoured the delicate balance between matter and spirit, instinct and intention. They were more than a cultural majority; they were a spiritual force—unified not by blood, but by choice.

They followed the ancient teachings of the Architect’s Breath, a doctrine which taught that all things—living or inert—carry the pulse of creation, and that to disrupt that pulse was to stray from the divine path.

The Alpha Hu-Men learned to channel this creative energy, drawing strength not from consumption, but from connection. They cultivated temples grown from living crystal, gardens that sang with the wind, and cities that moved in rhythm with the seasons. Their daily lives were acts of reverence—not in servitude, but in celebration of existence itself.

Radiant in spirit and unwavering in moral purpose, the Alpha Hu-Men embodied the Architect’s original dream—a vision of life in perfect balance. Their eyes held the calm of ancient oceans. Their voices carried the weight of compassion. Their decisions were guided not by ego, but by collective well-being. Across the star systems of Tzion, they were known as guardians of balance, teachers of unity, and keepers of the eternal flame.

They did not stand above the animals, nor apart from the trees—but beside them.  
To the Alpha Hu-Men, all life was sacred—and they treated it as such.

They were peaceful yet powerful warriors.  
They wielded strength not for conquest, but for protection—only raising their hand when it was to shield the weak.

They represented the essence of the Hu-Men species.
The radiant spark that set a new era in motion.
The timeless ideal that future generations would strive to embody.

They believe in the Pillars of the Flame, an ancestral doctrine passed from warrior to warrior that teaches humility, strength through unity, and protection of the weak.

Their cities, carved into cliffside temples and towering mountain halls, pulse with spiritual energy. Massive totems guard their thresholds, and sacred bonfires burn day and night, their flames whispering the names of past heroes. Every Alpha Hu-Man is taught both the blade and the scroll, mastering combat and philosophy as two halves of a greater truth.

They are the perfect blend of barbarian roots and enlightened destiny, keeping the fury of the wild within hearts tempered by wisdom.

⚔️ Alpha Hu-Men: Open-CodeX Rules

“We are the thunder before the storm, the builders of the flame, the guardians of the First Word. Through honor, we remember. Through strength, we endure.”

The Alpha Hu-Men are mythic warriors born of primal ancestry, shaped by divine echoes and hardened in the crucible of time. Though their origins are shrouded in the mists of forgotten epochs, their presence remains undeniable—a force of righteous power, unshakable will, and unwavering loyalty.

Though often mistaken for primitive barbarians, the Alpha Hu-Men are paragons of balance: savage when needed, wise by choice. Their discipline is sacred, their bodies sacred temples. They stand tall against darkness not because they crave battle, but because no one else can bear its burden.

🔥 Born of the Prime Flame

Alpha Hu-Men are believed to have emerged from the Cradle of Flame, an ancient realm said to be where the first warriors were forged by the eternal fire. Each Alpha Hu-Man carries within them a spark of this origin—a piece of the First Flame, passed down through blood and spirit.

This spark gives them:

• Extraordinary physical prowess

• A spiritual link to ancestral memory

• The inner discipline to harness fury without being consumed by it

Their society reveres The Word, a concept embodying truth, honor, and the sacred duty of protecting the weak. From this doctrine, their culture was built: a civilization of poets and titans, of councils and combat circles.

🌍 Alpha Hu-Men in the Material Plane

When Alpha Hu-Men venture into the wider world, they often appear as warriors in simple garb—bare-chested, adorned with beast hide and totemic sigils. But their simplicity is deceptive. Behind every movement lies centuries of discipline, and their words, when spoken, carry the weight of ages.

They are often encountered as:

• Wandering protectors, drawn to places where the balance of life is threatened

• Ancient warriors, awakened by magical cataclysms

• Tribal leaders, guiding newly formed clans in a post-civilization world

• Sacred champions, fulfilling divine visions or ancestral prophecies

Mortals may see them as demigods or relics of another age. But the Alpha Hu-Men see themselves only as what they must be: guardians of the old truths.

🧠 Culture and Ethos

The Alpha Hu-Men live by Five Sacred Codes, etched into every child’s memory by oral tradition and sacred ritual:

1. Honor above all – A broken oath scars the soul.

2. Strength in unity – A lone blade is a whisper. A warband is a roar.

3. Balance over conquest – To dominate is to destroy. To protect is to endure.

4. Words are weapons – Speak only truth, or remain silent.

5. The Flame Must Burn – The First Flame must never die, even if carried alone.

They hold seasonal festivals called Echoes of Flame, where memories of the fallen are sung into bonfires, and warriors test themselves in ceremonial duels—not for glory, but to remember the struggle that built them.

🧝♂️ Playing an Alpha Hu-Man

Choosing to play an Alpha Hu-Man is choosing to walk the path of the legendary. You will embody an archetype of courage, struggle, and purity of heart in a world that may no longer believe in such things. Whether as a tribal guardian, an exiled champion, or a visionary seeking to reunite scattered clans, you bring myth into the present.

Questions for Roleplaying:

• What sacred oath have you sworn, and what would it take to break it?

• Do you believe the modern world is worthy of the First Flame, or has it forgotten too much?

• What do you see in younger races: hope, folly, or untapped greatness?

• How do you handle betrayal—cold vengeance, or tragic forgiveness?

🎨 Visual Identity and Representation

Alpha Hu-Men embody a visual archetype of raw power, ancestral pride, and noble savagery. They are most often depicted as bare-chested warriors, their bodies marked by ritual scars, tribal ink, and the weight of tradition etched into flesh.

Their armor is a fusion of nature and legend—obsidian plates, bone talismans, mythic metals, and hide-wrapped gauntlets worn with purpose, not vanity. Their weapons are massive, elemental, and symbolic:

• Fang-like greatswords forged from volcanic ore

• Axes hewn from star-metal, crackling with forgotten energy

• Totemic staves, used to channel fire, memory, or wrath

Visual storytelling should evoke a world where civilization emerged from strength, not comfort.

Powerful imagery includes:

• 🔥 Bonfire-lit duels under the stars, where legacy is proven by flame

• 🏔 Mountain citadels crowned with braziers, overlooking sacred battlefields

• 👹 Alpha warriors clashing with abominations, defending the fragile line between order and chaos

• 🪨 Stone arenas, where oaths are made in combat and sealed in blood

The Alpha Hu-Men should always feel timeless, like echoes of a heroic age that never ended—only grew quieter.
