Mars Lore Expansion: Update to Post Dawn Mars and heavily expanding culture


Recommended Posts

Type: Planet expansion/tweaks

Short Description: This covers a handful of things: the habitability of mars, the political situation on mars twice over, and heavily adding to the culture section of Mars, which only has one paragraph.

Specifically, reducing the total pollution affect on the planet since its been a year since the initial fires
Outlining four factions, Unified Kunlun, a Crest Olympia sphere of influence, Red Gia somehow surviving, and the Unified Elysium Front
Expanding how the average martian has been coping with the complete decimation of half their people, mainly with exercise and music (along with some band names/artist names)
Outlining some Political Hot Takes the average martian might have/what wide swath of opinion they fall into about the Violet Dawn explosion
Adding cuisine, a description of what its like, and several examples (a handful of which I've also sprited

How will this be reflected on-station?: More political fracturing instead of martians being just "Sol good" or "fuck Sol" with actual factions someone can throw support behind. Cuisine representation, tying mars in more with the day to day life a character experiences. And giving more culture as a whole for Martian characters to work with instead of working with their own head-canon

Does this addition do anything not achieved by what already exists?: This is mostly an effort to humanize Mars lore more, as in give more for the day to day character. Mars has fantastic lore, but its a lot of overarching things and little in the way of what an individual experiences. The culture section is just one paragraph after all. And it gives the martian perspective on post Violet Dawn, which i think is really important.

Do you understand that the project may change over time in ways that you may not foresee once it is handed over to the Lore Team? Absolutely, and I encourage them to make changes and ask me questions/ask for elaboration/otherwise just get input.

Long Description: I'm gonna post two links to google docs, one that's the original copy, and another that's modifications and additions I've made after posting this.

Hello, and thank you for your application. After some long discussions both before and after the recent Mars arc, the human lore team has decided to deny this canonization application. We don't see the need for the city-based factions you have proposed for the planet and see them as potentially hard to implement while still abiding by the current canon lore. The culture section, while it has some different ideas, appears to be more like vague suggestions from which expansive lore could maybe be formed, rather than solid ideas ready for canonization. Because of this, it feels incomplete. Thank you again for your submission.
