<3000 years prior to VL

Suavarians accomplish the feat of space travel and start to colonize neighboring planets. Upon exploring their “Sister Planet”, they discover that the inhabitants are much like them, only to be different in genetics. The Suavarians go on to call them “Manorians”, which means Sister People in the Suavarian Dialect.

<2500 years prior to VL

Suavarian tech and culture is widely introduced to the Manorians and they grow to a very intelligent race quickly

The Manvarian War (<2400 years before VL)

Upon realizing that the Suavarians didn’t view the Manorians as equal, they got and rebelled against their brother planet. After a long fought war, they eventually driven the Suavarians off of Manors and declared itself an independent planet. Never again will the Suavarians set foot on Manors.

The Cold Ages (<2300 years before VL)

For the next 500 years, the Manorians entered a time of dispair and felt lack of purpose. It wasn’t until a young philosopher was walking through feilds and orchards that he realized that like the fruit that trees and plants produced, that each and every Manorian was unique in their special way. This philosophy set the base for what the race will be now known as Veggians. This is also how Veggians base their names, looks, and origins on and where the motto “For Fruits and Veggies alike.” came from.

The Veggian Court (<200 years before VL)

In trying to figure out where each and every Veggian belonged, the Housing System was created to ensure everyone had their own place and identity in society. Because of this, a monarchy was formed to rule over this system and ensure safety to everyone. This monarchy started with the House of Vegetable, then later implementing other Houses within. Also during this time, each house created for themselves strongholds underground that acted as headquarters for the houses. During the construction of the Aubergine Stronghold, The Lotus is found and is hidden away for it was deemed a threat to the rest of the planet. About a 100 years later, the strongholds were abandoned in favor of better structures on the surface, leaving the Lotus to locked away alone for the next 100 years.

The Royal Decline (<50 years before VL)

King Veggithor the II is crowned king of Veggia and later said some things that ended up in Tuber Square, the bloodiest day in Veggian history where more than 2,000 Veggians were slaughtered in one Persimmopolis’s busiest squares. After that incident, many people lost trust in their government and simply paid no more attention to it.

Year 2456-2480

Analine Persimmon is born. (2456)

King Veggiton is crowned king. (2460)

The House of Persimmon becomes an endangered house and Persimmon is allowed to live under sanctuary in the Court’s safety net. While growing up in sanctuary, Persimmon began training in both military and government studies. By age 16, she was recognized as Veggia’s God Child, a title given to the more prestigist of Veggians. By 20, she was put in charge of stronghold exploration, where strongholds were explored to preserve Veggian history.

Year 2480, the Year of the Lotus’s Revival.

On a very hot summer day, Persimmon began to explore the Aubergine Stronghold alone. Upon entering the underground labybrinth, she felt an odd sensation enclosing around her. As she explored deeper, she came face to face with the Lotus, where he in turn, ceased control of her mind to escape his captivity. When he was free on the surface, he began to plot revenge against the Veggians and decided to use Persimmon for his plan, since she knew a thing or two about power.

The Fall of the Court (Year 2481-2482)

Veggie and Fruity are born as heirs to the throne. It was originally been planned that the king and queen will have a daughter to become Veggia’s next monarch, but also got a boy. I guess we can say they got two for the price of one. Born not far apart from them were Blueberry and Tangerine. (2481)

The Lotus, using manipulation against Persimmon, has her form a coup against the Court, first taking Persimmopolis and then the Royal Palace. Seeing that they were losing the fight, King Veggiton and Queen Fruititha send their newly born twins, along with Blueberry and Tangerine, away to the End Lands, a continent in the southern hemisphere where Veggians live prosperous without control of government, in hopes that the future rests in their hands. Sadly, both the King and Queen did not survive that dreadful night. (2481)

Persimmon regains most control of her mind, but is now enslaved to the Lotus. In hoping she can redeem herself for the terror she has made, she establishes the Veggian Order, a fair dictoral government that bases its functioning on selected leaders and councils, instead of forced upon monarchs. (2481-2482)

10 years before VL (Years 2487-2497)

In their teens, Avera Passion Fruit and Melody Lemon form a rock band called “Winning Mellions.” Together, along with some other members, become known through the bars and pubs of Persimmopolis and even gets recognition from the popular rock band “The Cranberryz”. After doing a two year streak, the band breaks up as each of its members go their own ways. Passion and Lemon are left to care for each other and they decide what they want to do next. Seeing that the Order needs more soldiers within it’s force, they willingly draft themselves in it so as to do something important together. It’s not easy trying to train for the military when under the lead of Plum, but Lemon is able to bear that burden and exceed the ranks, soon becoming top of the class. Passion, however, doesn’t meet required standards needed to be part of the military and is later thrown out of the training academy. In a sad heartfelt moment, Passion tells Lemon that worked so hard to get where she is and that she shoudn’t stop just because her friend wasn’t good enough for it. With that, they both part ways with Lemon later being promoted to higher forms of leading and Passion left to profit off of anything that could get her money and make her feel as if she wasn’t alone. (2487- 2489)

Celery begins proclaiming that what the Order did to the Court was not right and forms “Court Against the Order” or CATO in hopes of overthrowing Analine Persimmon and forming a non-corrupt form of government. In this time, Passion begins dwelling on the fact that the Order influenced Lemon so much that she began to forget her friend, which soon lead to her being recruited to CATO by Celery in hopes of getting revenge for taking her friend away. (2492)

Melody Lemon is sworn in as Head of Military. (2497)

Veggian Lore Begins (Year 2497)

The Lore Begins

After growing up the last 16 years in the End Lands, Veggie becomes a master in swordsmenship and tries his best to help out his village as much as he can. A lot of times, his plans never go accordingly and usually results in a bigger problem. In trying to scout a nearby mountain, with his sister Fruity, for some more Power Stones, he accidently causes an avalanche that covers the whole village he lives in. Seeing that he causes trouble despite having good motives, the Townspeople send him away. Being caring and loyal friends and family, Fruity, Tangerine, and Blueberry go with him as he heads towards the canyons.

Upon hearing that King Veggiton and Queen Fruititha had sent their children to safety before the fall of the Court, Analine Persimmon orders that they must be captured so they won’t be a threat to the Order (And to the Lotus). She sends her Head of Overlords, Cherri Nova, to the End Lands because of her excellence in daggership.

Taking refuge in cave, the Veggians settle in for the night and began to sleep. During the night, Veggie has a dream recalling the last fateful moments he had with his parents before he was sent to the End Lands. He wakes up in shambles and decides to take a walk to get some fresh air. While taking that walk, he observes a flying craft landing not to far away from him and lifting off into the night sky. As he approached the scene of the landing, he finds a red clothed sillihoette who is talking to an unknown voice displayed on her holo-screen. The red clothed Veggian confirms that she is in the right place and that she will bring the assets in safely for prosecution. Veggie, weirded out by the whole experience, begins to walk away until a feral Glok of Glokia Monster comes out of nowhere and begins to attack to other Veggian. Veggie, feeling that he needs to help her, goes and fends off the beast as she makes a run for the other canyons. As they both manage to get away safely, Cherri recognizes Veggie and pretends to be a traveler from the other continents exploring the rock canyons of the End Lands. Suspicious of her alibi, Veggie gives her a look that only confirms within her suspicion. But Veggie also being Veggie, disregards the sense of alarm and then leads her to where the rest of his friends were. In finding all the Veggian Court children in one place, she reveals her actually attention and then entraps them inside the cave. Fortunately, CATO heard about the Order’s plans with the Court children and come at the last minute to save them. During this ordeal, Cherri Nova is captured and then held as a prisoner as the children are taken back to the Royal Palace in hopes of giving them sanctuary.

Furious, Persimmon orders a private war with CATO, where no battles are to be fought, but each side is fighting against each other.

Veggian Past

Back at the Palace, Celery begins to relate CATO’s purpose to Veggie and then shares his father’s role in all of this, while still not being alive, is a major symbol for their purpose. He is then introduced to Tomato, Passion, and an unknown mole within the Order who calls herself the Manchineel. Blueberry is having a hard time adjusting to her new enviroment, but quickly gets over it as she spends more time with Passion and Tomato. Veggie sees that his help is needed and then agrees to help them with their secret war with the Order.

Persimmon knows that the Order now has a threat. So she goes to confront the Lotus where he tells her that she must play the game in order to win. Persimmon agrees and proceeds to plan her next attempt to subvert CATO.

All Fun and Games.

In an attempt to annoy Persimmon, Celery proceeds to send a gift package full of pygmy Helopps to her where the whole think tank becomes infested in tiny Helopps. They keep sending back and forth boxes and pranks to one another, with both sides calling it a tie in the end. After seeing how pointless the events that day were, Plum suggests that they take it up a notch and do something harsher. Persimmon, already hating Plum, dismisses him but then considers his idea.

From the Highs to the Lows.

Mt. Manors, Veggia’s most popular mountian is on the verge of erupting and threatens the whole north hemisphere if erupted. CATO has a device to stop it, but when fetched after, is missing. After being found taking it, Persimmon is captured and is taken to Celery and Veggie for questioning. She reveals that while she hates them, that she doesn’t want the planet to explode and that if they want to survive, that they help her stop the mountain from erupting. Agreeing to her terms, they set off to stop the eruption. After detonating the device in volcano, Persimmon attempts to kill Veggie but is stopped by his skilled swordsmenship. While seeing looking in her eyes, Veggie notices something off about her as if, she had no choice in the matter. With that, she is able stumble off and escape his grasps.

It Takes One to Know One

During some time spent in the Palace, more is revealed about Passion and the fact that she is rather lonely and blames the Order for that. Veggie notices that she also had some sort of bond with Melody Lemon in the past and tries to learn more, but fails to do so. It is also revealed more about CATO’s purpose and how Persimmon might not be as evil as CATO thinks she is.

Veggie’s Euphony.

Upon hearing that the inventors of Veggia had created a long lasting, very powerful energy source, Persimmon plans to steal the Energy Stone from a heavily guarded island. She then gives the mission to the Pitaya Twins, due to their ability to get the job done without any hassle. While this is happening, Fruity accuses Veggie of being to occupied with CATO that he is forgetting his friends and family. Stubborn, he ignores her accusations and focuses on the mission at hand. Tipped off by the Manchineel, CATO heads out to the island to stop Persimmon from stealing it. While heading through a cloud of fog, Captain Sylvester Kale captures the ship and brings it into the island’s harbor where their fate will be at the hands of island’s people. Kale sees that Veggie is being a bit tense and thus plays a guitar song to call him out. Joining in on the song, Veggie only realizes that he isn’t fit for the job and sees how he is not being fair towards anyone but himself. Alarm arises as news of the Energy Stone being stolen quickly alarms the island’s residence. Veggie then convinces Kale to let them go and that they will get the stone back. Fruity, seeing that Veggie has seen his flaws, has his back and then come face to face with the Pitaya Twins. After a badass fight scene, the stone is seen dropped and cracking on impact. It soon explodes into a million peices. After seeing they failed the mission, the Pitaya’s surrender and are taken prisoner by the island’s people. CATO returns home where they question why Persimmon needed the stone so much. A message from the Manchineel reveals that they will be able to find out at the Overlord Banquet next week. Everyone in CATO is wanted by the Order except for Passion, for she never been on a feild mission before. They then decide that it will be a good idea to send her undercover as an Overlord to the banquet to get said info. The Manchineel will then be able to get her inside and find out Persimmon’s plan. But Passion become scared…scared that she might have to confront her past again.

Show a Little Passion

Passion sits in her bedroom as she recalls the memories of Winning Mellions breaking up, how she and Lemon had wanted to stay together, how she trained in the Military academy, and how she and Lemon were seperated forever. All of that only proves that Passion needs to go the banquet so that she can tell the Order that it cannot control her life and that whatever it has taken from her, that what she is doing will make them pay.

The Manchineel

In order to steal info from Persimmon’s Ballroom, Passion poses as an Overlord attending an Overlord banquet. After looking at her past, she is overcome with fear. Fear that she might fail, and fear that she might have to face the thing that has been haunting her for the last 5 years. Upon realizing how tense Passion is, Veggie attempts to comfort her, giving her a little determination to get the job done. After arriving at the banquet, she is told that the Manchineel has given CATO the layout of the ballroom and where she will need to go to retrieve the data. Things go smoothly at first until they find that Persimmon’s Entourage has also been invited to the party, this includes Lemon among the guests. Panicking, Veggie tries to clam her down through their earpieces and Celery commands her to find the data terminal. Upon the terminal room, she finds it guarded with Order guards. CATO contacts the Manchineel about the issue and the guards walk away. This gives Passion the oppotunity to enter the room and get what she came for. But things don’t go to plan as the door opens to reveal Blackberry stealing the data that they needed. Passion, not very trained in combat, is attacked and is almost brutally wounded by Blackberry’s Kung Fu skills. It was at last moment that there was hope for her when the Manchineel came out of nowhere and beat Blackberry to the ground. The Manchineel then helps Passion up and helps her flee the building. While running with her, Passion feels a sense of familiarity and feels somewhat safe with the Manchineel. After finding a good passage to get away, the Manchineel hands Passion the data stick with all Persimmon’s secret files on it. The Manchineel then puts a hand on her shoulder and tells her despite the plan not working out the way it needed to, that she was very brave and that no matter what people say about her, she will always have something special about herself. Unrevealed, the Manchineel gets up and dissappears, only to leave Passion crying in the wind.

Back at the Palace, Tomato attempts to extract the data from the drive, but has a hard time doing so. Eventually, she is able to and displays blueprints of all sorts of technology and a file containing info about the Lotus. CATO is confused by all of this and starts to work on what the tech did and what the Lotus was. Passion, happy that she is alive, thinks back to her encounter with the Manchineel and wonders why she felt so safe with her. While everyone is occupied, Celery departs out of the palace and is then shown on a mountainside overlook that rises above Persimmopolis. In this case, he adresses an unknown figure emerging from behind as the Manchineel, only to reveal that the Manchineel is Melody Lemon herself. Celery thanks her for help and asks for help to understand everything. She says that she will do anything to help CATO achieve their goal. When asked why she was helping them against the Order, she claimed that it was because that was what Passion wants.

The Lotus Pt. 1. The Game Begins.

After examining every blueprint and file they retrieved from the Ballroom, CATO comes to the conclusion that the Lotus is a weapon being developed to be used against the Overlord class and those who are deemed weak by Order standards. Realizing this, Celery orders CATO to infultrate Government Headquarters to find and destroy this weapon. The Manchineel, hearing this, warns Celery that they do not know what they are going up against. Being stubborn, Celery ignores those warnings and go ahead with the plan. Veggie, Fruity, Tangerine, Celery, and a large group of trained fighters secretly enter Government Headquarters. It isn’t long until they are found and multiple battles are fought within the complex. Luckily, CATO is able to overpower the Order guards and find the room where the Lotus is being kept.

Upon gazing upon the Lotus, Persimmon appears and is ambushed by Veggie. He sword fight her with Persimmon losing yet again. Veggie claims that Persimmon has lost but she only responds with “You sure now?”. After that is said, the Lotus reveals his true form and, using telekenesis, binds everyone up with the items found around the room. It is now, CATO realized that they messed up badly. The Lotus then rants about how he was never veiwed positively and shares his plan to take over the planet. Veggie sees Persimmon trembling and tries to convince her to help her. Realizing that it might be a good idea, Persimmon attempts to entrap the Lotus but fails to do so, resulting in her being binded along with the members of CATO. At that, guards come in and take CATO away to put away in cells.

While all this was happening, the Order attacked the Royal Palace and caused it to be burned to the ground. The remaining members of CATO, Blueberry, Passion, Tomato, and more are able to flee and find refuge with the sewers of Persimmopolis.

In his prison cell, Veggie blames himself all the events that had just unfolded and thinks its his fault that everyone he cares about is now in danger. Fruity then tries comfort him by saying that she too was blind to everything. That ended up with everyone else imprisoned taking the blame and suggesting that it may not be the end.

The Lotus, feeling like he can go ahead the second part of his master plan, calls Plum before him and makes him an offer. The Lotus says that when he takes over the planet, that Plum can do whatever he wants to the people of Veggia. Feeling compelled with cruelity, Plum accepts the offer to help the Lotus with whatever he wants. The Lotus then says that he must now take a Veggian form and then reveals Lemon tied up in a chair. He mentions to Plum that Lemon has been betraying the Order for quite some time now and says he is now going to take over her body to fulfill his purpose. Plum is content with this since he never really liked her in the first place. The Lotus then hands him a pair of visors that have the ability to transmit the Lotus into code into Lemon’s mind and asks if he will do the honors. Plum goes up to Lemon  and just before he puts the visors on her, she calls him cruel and says he is bad person. Plum only agrees and puts the visors on her.

And this is where the game begins, Lemon is now the Lotus.

The Lotus Pt. 2. Light in a Darkened World

Being held as prisoners by the Order, Veggie tries to find ways to escape. After losing hope, Fruity tries to comfort her brother by saying that there is always a way. After a lot of dramatic melodrama, Veggie looks up to see a vent on the ceiling of the cell. Fruity is overjoyed by this and asks Veg to lift her up to it. With a lot of Among Us references, she appears on the other side of the cell and releases everyone part of CATO. Celery then apologizes for his stupidity and reveals that the Manchineel warned him about the dangers of attacking the Order. After telling him that they will get back at him later, Tangerine asks what they should do now. Celery suggests that they find the Manchineel, where he also reveals that the Manchineel is none other than Melody Lemon herself.

After everyone agrees, a voice is heard from one of the closed cells saying that they will not find Lemon the way she was before. They walk over to the cell to see Persimmon sitting down with her knees to her chest and back facing them. She explains that the plan was for the Lotus to take control of the mind and body of a certain Veggian in order to fulfill his destiny. While Persimmon supported this at first, but she now realizes that he was probably going to take control of her mind all along. When she rebelled, it only proven that Persimmon was an unreliable host and couldn’t be good enough the Lotus to use. She also thinks that if Lemon had been betraying the Order and gone undetected for so long, that he might use her as his host.

Veggie asks who the Lotus is and why he is trying to take over the world. Persimmon gets up and recalls the days of her stronghold explorations and how she found the Lotus locked away in an Aubergine Stronghold. She then adds that the Lotus used many ways of deception against her to establish the path in which he needs to follow to get his revenge for being left captive for so many years. Persimmon also adds that while she was enslaved by the Lotus, that she regrets ever doing what he told her to do and promises to help CATO in whatever way possible to stop him.

Touched by her change of heart, Veggie and the others agree to let Persimmon help them. Persimmon then guides them to some tunnels underneath the government complex that leads to the sewers where they will need to get back the Royal Palace to get the supplies they need to go to battle. After venturing through the sewers, they come up out of the ground in the heart of Persimmopolis where it looks like a ghost town. Everyone questions where everyone is until they notice an oncoming group of soldiers heading their way. They hide only to find that the soldiers are acting unusual. Persimmon then recognizes the visors they are wearing and then claims that they are being mind controlled by the Lotus. At this point, the Lotus is now in control of everything.

As they sneak through the streets of Persimmopolis, a national PA is broadcasted on almost every screen in the city. There, the Lotus is talking directly to the members of CATO who had escaped. They are shocked to find that Persimmon’s theory about mind controlling Lemon had come true. The Lotus then says that he will make a deal with CATO if they meet him in the courtyard of the Temple of Opha at sunset to arrange a peace agreement or they will face eminent annihilation. Unconvinced by this, CATO decides to proceed to the Palace where they meet the others and get suit up for battle.

Meanwhile, Passion, Tomato, and Blueberry try to figure out where the others are. When the broadcast is seen in their makeshift headquarters, Passion is overcomed with stress that Lemon is now acting as the main villian of it all. She then breaks down and is now mentally unfit for anything else. Tomato and Blueberry see that it is now up to them to save Veggia before its to late. Blueberry asks what they should do now. Tomato takes a moment and then says that she has a plan.

CATO manages to get back to the Palace, only to find it in a burning heep of rubble. Everyone gets scared and worries that the others might be dead or buried in the rubble. Feeling as if they have no hope at all, Veggie self-considers that the only way to save everyone was to bring himself up to the Lotus at sundown to make an offer. Secretly, he sneaks away, leaving his friends behind to salvage the rubble.

In the meantime, Tomato connects some wires on a machine and then flips on a switch that turns it on to make the machine release shockwaves that only people of the House of Celery can hear (As weird as that sounds). Celery hears the waves and knows that Tomato and the others are still alive. They then start heading the direction he keeps sensing the waves.

After finding the rest of the group, they are reunited with joyful praises. Blueberry then notices that Veggie is not among them and asks where he is. It was then, Fruity realized that her brother had gone to sacrifice himself to the Lotus.

Entering the courtyard of the temple, he is greeted by Plum who stands on the balcony overlooking the courtyard. Then the Lotus, in Lemon’s body, appears. He then compliments Veggie for his bravery and honor but then rebukes him for being stupid and leaving his friends behind. The Lotus then throws him around like a toy and causes him to become weak. The Lotus laughs until the other members of CATO manage to intervene. They fight against him, Plum, and the mind controlled soldiers nearby. Winning, the Lotus grabs Fruity and threatens to kill her if they didn’t surrender. They start laying down their weapons until Passion appears from behind. She isn’t talking to the Lotus though, rather to Lemon. She explains that it was wrong for her to rebel against the Order and have her to be put in danger. She then relates how she missed Lemon and that she wants her friend back. The Lotus is disgusted but Lemon shows some rejection to him. The more Passion says, the more Lemon shows. Then once the Lotus loses control, Passion approaches and takes the visors off.
