Aquinox
Geography
Composition: 94% water, 6% land
Weather conditions: High rainfall, frequent storms
Biomes: Polar, Tropical
Moons: none
The planet Aquinox is named for its high water concentration; 94% of the planet's surface is covered in water. 5% of the remaining space is occupied by land masses at the poles; the last 1% exists in tiny islands scattered across the globe. The island populations are very small due to frequent aquatic weather washing over them; most of the human inhabitants live on one of the polar regions. The polar regions are protected from the fierce oceans by a protective layer of ice which surrounds them. The majority of humans who live in these regions are scientists or researchers; a great deal of them identify as marine biologists or climatologists.
Due to the high oceanic content of the planet and being relatively undisrupted, Aquinox is home to a variety of exotic, aquatic life forms that are rare or nonexistent in other parts of the Zetaverse, including creatures that would be regarded as mythical elsewhere. Massive sea snakes, some even resembling dinosaurs or dragons are present, as well as monstrous cephalopods. The island population is rumored to be inhabited by humanoid aquatic creatures, such as sirens and mermaids, but documentation is sparse due to frequent storms interfering with normal human travel and occupation of the areas. However, the ocean-bound humanoid population (or monster population) is actually more developed in land and population size than the human population.
