Orikin

The Orikin (Ore-uh-kin) Race is a custome Role Playing race on RuneScape. They were created by the user Junokkra, or 'Happy Muspah' in-game.

Omesa
The Orikin were ancient beings of a dark, desolate planet named Omesa (O-mess-uh). The planet itself seemingly had no known weather conditions nor is it known to have any other life besides the Orikin. Omesa is significently smaller than the planet Gielinor, and lacks the wild green grass and bright blue skies. If one was to stumble upon an Orikin and able to somehow to comunitcate with them toask about the home planet, they would be informed that their dark world was nothing but black deserts, tempuratures of almost freezing, colossal rocky mountains, and water of no color but grey.

The Beginning
With the Orikin being the only known living creatures on their home world, it was easy for them to control the small planet and excel at a faster pace than any other race on Gielinor. The Orikin were seperated into two different castes, the Moto and the Ras. The Moto built colossal fortresses and outposts around their world, as well handled any other physical work to be done. The Moto were naturally strong and could go physically passed any human strength. The Moto weren't dumb, but they did not focus on magic. They were big in physical strength that usually came naturally to any Moto Orikin. The Ras were powerful magicians and scholars, they developed the order and laws of the planet. The Ras also were extremely powereful in magicks, learning how to levitate above the ground due to their abilities to absorb runic energies naturally, though they lacked any actual physical strength. The Orikin developed their own language and text, causing them to know no other ways of communication besides that.

The Disaster
Despite their unstoppable forces and clever tactics of life, the Orikin suffered a global tragedy. Due to the position of their planet, Omesa soon found itself knocked out of orbit from a life-ending astroid. This caused the planet to hurling into a belt of space debrise. With the Orikin not knowing anything of the outside world, most of them died off due to constant astroids and other rock formations ripping their planet's crust apart. Though there was a small city on Omesa, named Mothe'Abnu (Mo-thay-ab-nu). The city was a succesful safehouse as it was completely underground. Mothe'Abnu was inactive due to the lack of open space and light underneath the planet's floor.

The Orikin's Way To Gielinor
One ancient Ras Orikin, by the name of Phenaxuh, watched over the desolate city of Mothe'Abnu as survivors slowly piled in over the years. Some considered him a prophet of redemption, and referred to him as "The Face of Life". Phenaxuh was one of the only Orikin to wonder about outside life off his home planet. He was also the only living Orikin to be working with magicks to connect Omesa to the outer space. Though with him working so hard to find ways out of the planet, Phenaxuh resigned from his leadership position to focus on his task at hand. This was only to make things worse in the city, as the council and leader became corrupt and only made the lives of the remaining Orikin worse. Causing them to work and become almost seemingly enslaved to what was now known as "The Council".

Over the long years of torment for the Orikin, Phenaxuh developed a portal to hopefully bring them to another planet and out of the miserable lives. The corrupt Mothe'Abnu government became enraged at the findings of Phenaxuh's work, afraid that the remaining survivors would leave with Phenaxuh to an unkown place. Though Phenaxuh knew this would happen, making sure he developed the portal in a place only he knew. He left clues with the ones he trusted before making his leave, not knowing if he'd be shot out into a void of nothingness or to find a planet of great value. He was willing to take the risk, though.
