The UNO Clan

History Behind the UNO Clan

The Clan was not initially in the committee of the Brothilans as he was not available for the First Meeting. The most major difficulty faced by the Committee was to understand what the representative was trying to say. As he did not speak any genuine language as per the standard archives of the Brothilans. So to figure out his basic actions, the committee appointed 5 members of the Mermoy clan who were specially called forth for this. The main purpose of the Mermoys was to understand and memorize the actions of the representative so that they could use the actions and explain what he means or is trying to say. The Mermoys found it a very difficult job and the unnamed clan was not included into the Brothilans. After years of research the mermoys finally were able to communicate with the representative. the representative never spoke a word this was confirmed using a basic physical examination because he did not have any ways to speak. When the communication gap was bridged, the Brothilans were able to figure out the name of the Representative. He was the only representative to actually have a name. The name in Brothilinia was Thinguguan Zare. Thinguguan was never present during the inclusion because there was still so much to learn about the clan. So the clan was called as UNO clan because they shared the most weird and a unique way of conversation.
The examination of Thinguguan went on for a very long period of time. Though the results shocked everybody in Brothilans. All the details were made into a report and sent to the committee for a detailed review. The report consisted of information which was translated by the Mermoys.
" The clan which is represented by Thinguguan Zare has a total population of 1. The rules of the clan were all made up by him and since he could not speak about this to anybody (because no one understood his words) he traveled from planet to planet for a home. The main characteristic of the UNO clan (which i believe also suits the clan because of it having only one representative) has taken a lot of time to figure. There actions seem to change and depend very much on the mood. According to Thinguguan, he was the mastermind of creating the language, rituals and whatever else and since there was no objection to his thoughts he implemented them. He assumes to be the only person from his clan and says he follows the dynamic rule. The Dynamic rule is stated below:
"Everything and anything is subject to change and that thing is subject to change depending upon the subject in discussion and the mood of the subject under consideration."
The above dynamic rule is a bit more complicated but on a few permutations and combinations the necessary changes were made in order to understand the behavior of this species. In doing this we have had great help from the lesser known Katranius Clan which used their logic to decipher the code behind the UNO.
To understand the rule better we have provided the explanation below for your reference but would suggest that any conversation would require the presence of 5 Mermoys in order to understand the words of Thinguguan or the UNO clan."
On listening to this the whole committee was baffled. Many believed that Thinguguan was an imposter and making a mockery of the whole Brothilans. They had a meeting and it was decide that the possibility of such a creature to exist is not an impossibility but, a probe into the UNO clan was suggested and a search operation to the deepest parts of galaxy to actually confirm the existence of only 1 member of the UNO clan.
The search party was organised and sent to every part of the galaxy and many other galaxies surrounding the Brothilans. The search only provided them with information on new clans who were not very much popular but they could not find any who had any significance or similarities to Thinguguan. After many years of searching the committee of Brothilans finally announced and introduced the UNO Clan into the Brothilans. Most of the clans were not very excited about this because the only person of the clan got a lot of privileges. But they had to abide as per the rules of the Brothilans because they were part of the committee.

Since there is nothing much to discuss about the people as there is only 1 person in the clan.

Language:

This was the most interesting part of the UNO clan because of its sheer complexity. The Mermoys put in a lot of effort in understanding the whole thing and also prepared a whole document/manuscript. Since reading the whole manuscript can take a lot of time here is a part of what could help in understanding in brief the irregularity in the mannerism of the UNO Clan.
The below dialog is with reference to the Dynamic Theory:
Everything and anything is subject to change and is subject to change depending on the subject in discussion and the mood of the subject.
" Here the subject can be given a different word everytime it is used in the same sentence and one cannot change the dynamic rule. There can only be clauses that will be attached to this rule. And even those clauses would be subject to change and vice versa. The dynamic rule is the only static rule, in a very weird way.
The rule was useless when he tried to use any words, for subject, so he appended another clause and mentioned that it should make a logical statement. As per the rule he was subject to change as per his wishes. So he would change his name into anything he wished it to be. What was the purpose behind this? What was the agenda? What was he to achieve? To this his answer was, "thingjhd hyunjiad romnh porshud". This was the most difficult thing to decipher for the translators who had absolutely no clue of what he was speaking. We were able to take note of everything and hence decipher the single sentence after long conversations which lasted for years. It was deduced on vote that Thinguguan spoke based on his mood and with respect to the situation and the expressions on his face. His body language was the means to find the congruent meaning of his speech. After assuming this to be the way to find out the hidden meaning behind his words the above mentioned questions were asked. The meaning of his answer was analysed and translated eventually. It meant, "Why not?"."

Food of the UNO Clan was anything. Thinguguan ate anything because he did not have any specific preferences.

This is about the UNO Clan... please comment in case of any discrepancy.

The Yosurd Clan

History Behind Yosurds

Yosurds in Brothilans means ancient or old. The yosurds were not interested in anything except for the information. Every Yosurd remembers everything he did in his life span. But then they do not pass the information to anybody as they believe any information they have is their property and no tress passing is allowed in the information. The earlier generation of the Yosurds were very selfish and did not believe in the concept of sharing and enjoying. They kept their information secret and to themselves. Even if they by any means got to know something about another person in their clan they would never say it to another soul. So the most powerful of the Yosurd was the one who had the most information about the whole clan and generally he was the oldest. The man who had all the information was called the Pontro. The Pontro was the king because he knew some thing or the other about everybody in the clan. As soon as the Pontro is elected through a very tough competition which is only preceded by the earlier Pronto and the contestants individually he/she has to capture every record in his memory on paper and store it in the archives of the Yosurds called the Kalshi - The holder of information. The Kalshi was again a mythical place as only the Pronto were aware of it and since every Yosurd always swears to secrecy the Pronto never mentioned about it to anybody. The Pronto after making the records in the Kalshi lives the life of a hermit with all the luxuries one can get. He lives in a palace with all luxuries paid for by the people. This is done because the Pronto always had to be kept happy because he had the information about most of the people of the clan. Though the life span of the Pronto is very small because to gather the most information than any other person of the clan the he/she should be really old as any youth or a normal Yosurd would have the same information as any other Yosurd. But some of the oldest Yosurds would have a lot of information about any body. The Pronto is also respected a lot because not every Yosurd is able to live very long and gather as much information. The life span of a normal Yosurd is around 40 - 50 years but a Pronto lives for much longer (average life span of a pronto is 65 years).
The Yosurds, as said earlier, were secluded from the rest of the galaxy. They did not ever try to make contact with the rest of the galaxy either. When the first Brothilans meeting was set up the Yosurds were invited. They were the only clan to have been invited to the meeting. The Yosurds at first rejected the invitation as they did not take interest in anybody. But then on repeated requests from the Brothilans committee the Yosurds accepted. But they could not send the Pronto because of his age and also because the Pronto was a far valuable person to be sent for the meeting. For this purpose the Pronto asked for another election where the representative of the Yosurd Clan for the First meeting would be decided. The criteria was that the person would have the least information and he would be dedicated towards working for the Governing Body. The difficulty of selecting such a person was very tough as there was no lower limit for knowledge or information. For this they tried to have an age group. As they knew from experience the information of the clan increases by age. So for the meeting they sent a group of 5 year old. The Brothilans considered this as a joke and asked the yosurds to reconsider the delegation. The Yosurds though were serious about this and hence the Brothilans got its new Yosurd representative in the form of a 5 year old. The Yosurds did not ask for any position but were the head of the archives at the Brothilans and recorded every moment at the First Meeting. After the meeting the committee again requested the Yosurds to send more 5 year old for the governing body as in one for each clan. The Yosurds were confused as they did not have many 5 year old. The Pronto decided on sending any 5 years old for the governing body from henceforth. Thus the Yosurds became the official record holders of the Brothilans.
The chances of the head of the archives at the brothilans to become the Pronto was very less as the people of Brothilans did not respect them very much as they had nothing to fear from the Uster, which meant other in general English. When all the clans were covered in the Brothilans the groups were stopped and only on request was there a new Uster formed in Yosurd.

The people:

As said the people of Brothilans were very secretive and did not divulge in any information they had. The Uster were however different as their main purpose was to share any information as and when required by the Governing body. At the tender age of 5 the mind of the Yosurd does not know much and is generally referred to as the coming of age. After this a Yosurd changes his preferences of secrecy.
The Yosurds are lean and fragile. They do not have much mass but the lower portion of their body appears bulky. But since they do not weigh much it cannot be called bulky just sagging. They do not enjoy any sports and are not after any monetary compensation for the information they possessed. A Yosurd takes pride in the information he has about anything.
The Uster were the information holders for the Governing Body but getting information out of them was also very difficult. To make this simpler the Governing Body gave a secret code to every clan representative to only ask for the Uster assigned to them. Only on the acceptance of the secret code would the Uster share the information. If the secret code was given to the Uster by any other person other than the person it was assigned to then the Uster would not share any information and report a breach to the Governing body who would take the necessary action.

Lifestyle:

There is a lot of difference in the living of the Yosurd and that of the Uster. The Yosurds are just farmers with a lot of information about their own clan and the people around them whereas the Usters were people who had very little information about their own clan but had a lot of information about the clan whose responsibility was bestowed upon them. And also the Usters were luxurious and had all the privileges in the world as the clan whose information was with the particular Uster had to maintain a healthy relationship with them. The Yosurds remained in their own planet but the Usters were given the option to stay either with the Governing Body or with the Clan whose information they had.
The Yosurds on the whole including the Usters did not though crave for money. The clans itself treated them with a lot of respect. Their basic aim was to gain as much information as possible.
The Yosurds never betrayed anyone on purpose and those in the Governing Body would never leak out a secret even by mistake as it relates to a clan and they understood the importance.

Food & Language:

The Yosurds ate anything and everything. They did not differentiate between food. All they needed to know was that the thing was edible. The Usters had to be careful because they could be bribed into giving information. The Yosurds were strong willed and if they noticed that the act was to leak out information they would not delve out anything even if they were tortured. But then food was a real passion among the Yosurds.
The Language of the Yosurds was Lantur. They spoke only lantur throughout their planet. The Usters also had to master another language, that of their clan, for easier conversation. When the translator would not work the Usters were to translate for the Clans Representatives but that was only when Brothilinia was not spoken.

The Lazroth Clan

History Behind Lazroths
The Lazroths were, are and possibly will be the laziest clans in the whole of Brothilans. They had their own planet which was a slight shade lighter than the normal indigo. It was once said that the Lazroths were not lazy. They were farmers and lived a happy life growing whatever they needed. The main reason for the Lazroths to be lazy was their skin. Their skin is the main source of energy for their day to day work. According to a research conducted, the skin of the Lazroths was sensitive to colour. Only a darker shade of red made them active and brought some energy into their otherwise lazy lives. The Lazroths were part of the Brothilans because of their population. They were not involved in any further activity because they were simply too lazy to even get up from their chair.
The planet of the Lazroth has a very strange orbit. It had the orbit which looked like a hyperbola. On extended research it was found that this was due to the whole structure of the planet. The only justification that could be given for this strange orbit was that in the first year of its existence, the planet's existence, it was following the general elliptical orbit as is followed by most of the planets within the Brothilans limits. It was assumed that the planets were all clustered closer to the source of light which was provided by two huge ball of fire which were at first separated by a great distance. The distance between the two huge balls of fire kept decreasing. When they were close enough they repelled each other and went separate directions taking some planets, closests to either of them, along. Hence the distance between the planets increased. This theory was named and the "Rubber Balls Rubber Band Theory". The planet of the Lazroths was assumed to be following the general elliptical orbit as mentioned earlier and another assumption was made that it was in the dead centre between the two Huge Balls of fire. When the ball repelled each other they did not come in contact, as is the case when you bring two magents of the same polarity close, this resulted in a very erratic behaviour for the planet of the Lazroths. The planet shivered and moved away from its general orbit and started following the hyperbolic path. Due to this erratic behaviour, there was life in the planet which was later known as the Youters. These Youters eventually evolved into the Lazroth Clan. The hyperbolic path came close to one of the Huge Balls of fire once in a while which led to the hyperactive state of the Lazroths. The rays were the stimulus to their active state. It was during one such phase the first meeting was held and hence there was participation from the Lazroths towards the forming of the Brothilans. When the word of the first meeting was doing its rounds the Lazroths were extremely active. To show actual participation they created a cube which contained the source of their energy. This they did through solar panels which reserved the rays from the Balls of fire and transfered the same energy into red light which gave the Lazroths the energy even when there is no red light around. Though it did not occur to them that this could be achieved using only a simple red bulb. But then again they might be having problems of their own which could have been the reason to overlook the simple idea. The Representative of the Lazroths was a person who was selected unanimously. In the Lazroth Clan, elections are held during the active life stage. This trend was followed since the news of The First meeting and was continued ever since. The important meetings of the Brothilans were also earlier held as per the Lazroths as they were not available for most of the time. In one particular meeting few members of the Brothilans protested against the favouritism towards the Lazroths. The Lazroths never started any arguments nor did they participate. They found a solution to the problem by appointing a member of the Bratamius Clan to stand in meetings on their behalf.
During the hibernation period of the Lazroths they are never involved in any activity. They could be probably stuck at something they were doing while they were in their last active state and that activity would also probably continue when they come out of hibernation when the hyperbolic path closes to one of the Huge Balls of Fire.
The People:

As was mentioned earlier that the Lazroths were the laziest people in the whole of Brothilans. But this was only during the Hibernation Phase which is the longest phase in the path of the planet. When the planet nears the Huge Balls of Fire the Lazroths are quite the people to spend a vacation. They would be the perfect host and do not believe in fighting any other clan. They are pleasant in the way the talk and manners. The planet of the Lazroths is also famously known as the summer place. During the active stage of the planet this planet because a hotspot tourist destination. The whole place comes to life with a particularly colourful plant called as the Kontan. It is also the staple food of the Lazroths. The Kontan plant extends over most of the area of the planet. The Kontan grows only when there is light and the mud contains Husht which in normal english terms would mean water. This is though not just water it is thicker than water and is not crystal clear. This makes the planet quite a spectacle for tourist and is also the major attraction. The Lazroths by the end of the Hibernation end up weak because they can barely even move during that phase. But during the active phase they are well built because of the Kontan which gives their skin the chance to grasp more light and work. The Lazroths maintain their planet beautifully. Because of this the committee decided to deploy some people from the Bratamius Clan during the Active phase to help the Lazroths with their tourists. This was out of good will and the Lazroths never charged the visitors anything which made the place even more popular.
The Lazroths in appearance changed shape as per the phase. The main reason behind the odd behaviour of the Lazroths was its skin. The skin was porous and inside it contained some packets which acted as storage. The nervous system of the Lazroths was connected to each of the packets which provided the energy for the Lazroths people's movements. The Lazroths would have been all dead during the Hibernation but for the Kontan plant. The Kontan plant acts as the ingredient for their survival during the Hibernation phase. It keeps them from fading. The Lazroths skin is therefore very rough during the hibernation phase because of the lack of red light. During the active stage the skin is extremely soft. They have two button like eyes which are only open during the active phase. The Lazroths tend to swell a little during the Active phase and shrink during hibernation.

Lifestyle:

There is nothing much of a life style for the Lazroths. Most of their time is spent in hibernation and in the active part of their life they grow Kontan. There were elections held since the First Meeting to elect the representative to go for the annual meet of the Brothilans. Otherwise they had their representative from the Bratamius Clan who kept them updated during the active phase. Many of the Lazroths usually die during the Hibernation because of old age. Though beyond this there was nothing else the Lazroths would ever do.

Food & Language:

The only diet for the Lazroths was the Kontan because it was the only thing available and also because it helped them during hibernation.
There was no language of the Brothilans because they were lazy and did not consider talking as an option. But to communicate they used sign languages because they did not have a fully developed voice.

This was a little bit about the Lazroth Clan. If any suggestion/questions please feel free to ask.
