The Underground City
California. Known for it’s heat, the sun, and the beaches right? Well, it’s unknown for the entire city that’s bustling at least 40 miles beneath the surface of the popular state. The military, government, and president are unaware of the activity taking place below; until one creature gets curious. Curiosity kills the cat, but satisfaction brings more back.
This creature, later known as an Xanthian, was caught soon after he’d finally reached the surface of California. Researches preformed hundreds upon thousands of tests on this being, some trying to reach an explanation for the luminescent eyes and some to figure an answer for the extra joint located in each finger. At some point during the research the Xanthian died, but not before the scientists had discovered the reason for the luminescent cat eyes and theory for the extra joints. While all of this research was going on, more Xanthian’s were beginning to wonder what became of the bravest of them all, and if he was still alive. So after careful planning, the others began sprouting from the same entrance that the first used and spilling onto the streets of California. Soon enough a search party was sent out by the government to capture each and every one of the Xanthians. One Xanthian told of their city and where the entrance was located. After gathering the military and sending them into the depths of the earth they found that the Xanthian’s discovered a new way to make light other than electricity. Already furious that the overlanders had captured most of the Xanthian population, the creatures wouldn’t speak of how they harvested the light, or what it was made of for that matter. So the president has made a deal with the Xanthians: The members of California will take in 1 Xanthian per household and show them around, befriend them, and treat them as if one of their own in exchange for the answer as to how the light is made. Xanthian’s found no reason to be in California- it was much too sunny and much louder than Xanthia. Considering the government had already captured most of them anyways, they simply carried out the deal despite Xanthia’s decline and more or less held each Xanthian that they had as prisoner in households all over California until one of them would cough up the answer.


Xanthia
Xanthia is approximately the size of New York City. The only light is supplied by the odd liquid within the hundreds of bulbs placed all over the city. The liquid is harvested from a certain plant called Boshtik which only produces light, not actual electricity. Therefore Xanthian’s are more like the Amish. Instead of cars, each Xanthian owns their own Gristle. The lakes, ponds, and streams contain Talyks, which make it impossible to swim or bath in them; making water precious and extremely hard to collect. Baths are uncommon for Xanthian’s, but they don’t sweat nearly as much as a human. In appearance Xanthian’s look almost somewhat close to humans. The average height for a female is 5 0’, however 6 5’ for a male. Their skin is pale white from lack of sun and they have an extra joint in each finger. Their eyes are luminescent as a cat’s would during the night, but the range in pupil colors are the same as humans’.


Notes
*Since every stream, pond, ocean, ect. Is filled with big scary monsters in Xanthia, if you’re a Foster then your Xanthian is more than likely going to be scared shitless the first time you take them to a pool, beach, pond, ect.
*Sure, the Xanthians are probably not pleased they’re being held prisoner, but the Fosters could at least try to warm up to their Xanthian…Maybe even get to know them a little more than others?
*Xanthians don’t know what cars, microwaves, televisions, radios, or anything else like that is. Teach them if you want to warm up to them. Remember, the governments main intentions are to get them to blab about their ways of light. (That might not be so important to the Fosters)
*If you’re going to be an Xanthian, make you’re name original-they are foreign after all.
*Xanthians are extremely pale. If you can’t find a pale enough realistic picture, type up a description. No anime please.
-- Fosters-someone who houses an Xanthian.
--Gristle-Sort of like ahorse, but with liquid black eyes, a green tint, and no ears; thin as a skeleton.
-- Talyks- Sea monsters, basically.
