The Hissho are proud, aggressive warriors who enjoy combat and will tend towards militaristic policies. Of those, two are worth particular attention: The Way of the Red Blade, whose focus on physical training and warmongering attitude seduced those who would see the Hissho reign supreme on the galaxy and the Order of the Obsidian Eagle with its daily observation of religious sacrifices and hermetic discipline, earning the respect, and even the fear, of those who come into contact with it. Oaths of loyalty are now made to “School” and the way of life prescribed inside the walls of their integrated cities. However, modernity slowly eroded this very strict organization and changed the makeup of society. Under the rule of the Tokso, their military and spiritual leader, both an accomplished warrior and a symbol of divine authority, the Hissho have long lived divided into clans and regions following feudal lines. The rough terrain lent itself to development of clan and family as the root of both social and political structure, and even now that they have their eyes set on the stars, the Hissho remain tied in webs of ancient loyalties. The difficult conditions have led the Hissho to be hardy and stoic, whether they are meditating in a temple carved into the side of a mountain or hunting game through dense woods. Though the highlands are arid and dry, the valleys and oceans of the planet form a dense forest habitat that teems with life-and prey.

Uchi, the Hissho home planet is hot, craggy, and rocky, but full of lowland jungles. How long this period of mindless slaughter for the pleasure of their overlords lasted, none of them could say until the Virtuals devastated the planet, and of this bygone age only memories of slavery and exploitation remain, along with those of glory and adulation. Focused on the constant wars between their own tribes, they lived ignorant of the different species roaming the galaxy until they were picked up by the Concrete Endless, augmented in the world of Sykagoja, and then quickly put to the test as gladiators fighting in the decadent arenas of their new masters. Tempered by steel and battle, the Hissho evolved from avian ancestors on their Home Planet of Uchi. It is also a time when the Hissho are faced with questions of their past with the Endless, as well as their future in galactic society. It is therefore a time of change and adaptation, a time of unrest, a time of hard decisions. The Hissho government has always been centrally controlled, and both the volume and complexity of decisions means that even a gifted ruler has difficulty managing an entity of this scope. A guy told me one time, 'Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the co. While their reigning Tokso, Iyolo Blackgyr, is a strong and worthy leader, he is unused to the complexities of running a multi-planet galactic empire. Preferring war to peace, their nation has by tradition sought conquest and glory. They see other species as inferior and are almost eager for war with others.ĭespite the Hissho's relatively slow rate of technological advancement, their experience with battle and innate skills as aviators make their space navy a formidable foe.Fierce and aggressive, driven by their sense of honor, the Hissho are fearless in battle. The Hissho's innate nature is reflected in their empire's diplomatic relations (or lack thereof) with alien races. Adults must prove themselves to have at least some level of fighting skill in order to be accepted into society. War and combat are still vital aspects of their culture. By purely human standards, the Hissho are not unlike Samurai. Sacrifice is an integral part of the social fabric, with a cultural emphasis on blood. Protocol, ritual, and personal honor are closely intertwined, with a failure in one translating in failure to the others. The heart-piercing action is furious and unrelenting. The Hissho are ruled by a monarch, but they are equally ruled by tradition. Flop it out with 2-4 players in a retro, epic narwhal battle in space. Convinced of their innate superiority, the Hissho decided it was only their destiny. When they encountered other races, their response was to seek conquest. Their constant warfare slowed their technological progress and path to civilization, but eventually, they, like many other races across the galaxy, united and reached for the heavens. įor much of their history, the Hissho lived as tribal hunters. However, there are some vague indications that the Endless at the very least tampered with their evolutionary path for their own amusement. The Hissho themselves hold that they evolved from avian creatures, independently of a higher alien race.

The evolution of the Hissho is not entirely clear.
