Alias: Rupture Born, Warborn Progenitors
Origin: Geba (northern coasts, oceanic regions)
The Rupterans are an extinct ancestral human species native to Geba’s northern coasts and oceanic regions, predating the Geban Empire and known as direct ancestors to all modern humanoids, with Ethnic Gebans (Imperials) showing the strongest DNA connection, reflected in their disciplined yet aggressive behaviors. Emerging over 30,000 years before modern Geba, they were taller and more robust than modern humans, driven by heightened aggression hormones that fueled hyper-competitive behaviors. Their inclination toward Velcrith merging granted technical insights but amplified destructive tendencies stemming from urgency to ascend, leading to societal fractures. They mastered oceanic navigation, with their ruins found exclusively on northern coasts and in submerged ocean sites, indicating advanced maritime capabilities. They achieved global peace briefly before resource depletion from a failed stellar exodus sparked final resource wars, resulting in near-extinction around 10,500 years before modern Geba.
Rupterans could live close to 1,000 years, with maturity reached at 15–20 years and reproduction possible thereafter, but typically died around 40 years due to constant wars and cycles of conflict driven by their aggressive nature.
