   Keys: Octarian Domes, The Underground, Octo Valley, Octo Canyon, The Octarian Underground

   The Octarian Underground is the unofficial name for a series of 36 interconnected Subterranean Dome-structures 12,000 years into the future that is home to the descendants of the Octarians/Octolings who lost and surrendered to the Inklings after risking nuclear annihilation of their species 100 years ago.

   Each dome can support a population of 10,000, but certain Domes are dedicated to certain industries or production such as agriculture or energy and are interconnected by a series of tunnel or elevator systems.

   The total population is around 310,000, consisting entirely of Octolings and Octarians with barely other species living there until recent years.

2. #2A Standard Dome

   Keys: Octarian Domes, Megadome, Domes, Dome

   A Dome is a large Subterranean structure made with the sole intention of sustaining human for long periods of time, coming in many variants that reflect their useage, such as Agriculture or Energy production.

   A singular dome can support a population of 10,000 depending on what it is used for and are interconnected to other Domes by tunnels or elevators.

   The average Dome is split into three parts: 1: The "Sky". The roof of a Dome are actually gigantic TV screens that broadcast the sky of the surface world in real time. Simulating sunlight are giant lamps located at the very center of each dome which consumes much power. 2: "Ground Level". The "Ground" of a dome is usually just cement or metal, with very little soil actually within A Dome unless they're a Agricultural dome. This is where buildings are usually built and where most usually live. 3: "Techical". Technical is where most of the wiring and the machinery needed to run a Dome are put, underneath Ground Level.

3. #3History

   12,000 years ago during the last days of humanity, a old human government attempted to save itself by building a massive series of Subterranean Domes meant to keep humanity alive Underground. The project was completed, but humanity went extinct soon after, leaving it abandoned for thousands of years.

   Before the Great Turf War 100 years prior, The Domes where discovered by Octarian archeologists and would be settled by Octarian Scientists who would turn it to a center of science and knowledge. They would experiment with ancient human ideologies that where preserved within ancient computer systems in the goal of creating a 'Perfect Society' that would be the origins of the Underground's current Government.

   By 1913 ME, The Octarians found themselves in a inter-species war against the previously neutral species known as Inklings that would become the most brutal, drawn out conflict in history, with millions dead fighting over land being constantly lost to rising sea levels known as the Great Turf War, which involved the usage of ancient human weapons and technologies such as nuclear bombs and walking weapon platforms. After the Great Turf War, The Octarians had lost and most of the surviving population (Consisting mostly of hardened soldiers and desperate civilians) fled to the Underground. The last of the Octarian Military and the pre-existing Scientists would form a agreement and work together to ensure the continued survival of the Octarians by forming the Central Underground Council.

   Today, The Underground Domes are one of the largest Octarian/Octoling populations in the world despite their isolation to the surface world.

4. #4Economy

   Keys: Credits, Economy, Controlled Economy, The Economy, Economics

   The Economy of the Underground is unique compared to many other economies; It's Economy was based on state ownership of the means of production, collective farming, and industrial manufacturing. An administrative-command system managed a distinctive form of central planning and completely controlled by the 'Central Underground Council'. Being completely isolated from the surface and with nobody else trade the meager resources that had to work with, the Underground's economy was very stable and saw very little change until recent times. Instead of using a currency based off minerals, The Underground's currency is based off Energy; The most important resource in the entire underground. Everything, from Mushrooms to Computers have been measured by their energy and cost by how much energy they cost to produce. Jobs are chosen and mandated by the Central Underground Council.

   The currency of The Underground are known as 'Credits'.

5. #5Government

   Keys: Central Underground Council, CUC, The Council, The Government, Government

   The biggest government in the Underground is the Central Underground Council, which controls 30 of the 36 existing Domes that are still habitable. The Central Underground Council (Or just 'The Central Council') is a one-party state that is heavily socialist/technocratic that is ran by a group of councillors that are defacto Scientists and Military generals aided by old supercomputer known as 'The Central Network'. In recent times, The control of the CUC has weakened considerably ever since the arrival of several surface-world ideologies, new uprisings and a ongoing energy crisis threaten to break apart the CUC and cause a massive underground Civil War and a total economic collapse.

6. #6Military

   Keys: Violet Army, , The Violet Army, Military, The Military

   The Military and the Central Underground Council are one in the same, intertwined since it's founding during the early months after the Great Turf War and has been given the name 'The Violet Army'. The Violet Army primarily acts as the Underground's police and defense force and often mandatorily recruits those who have a natural urge to fight the enemies of the state, aided by a old supercomputer.

   The Violet Army is split into two parts; Hatch Defense and Civilian Defense. Hatch Defense is there to defend the entrances of the Underground that go to the surface to prevent external invasion, Civilian Defense is there to maintain stability by acting as a police force and are experts in fighting in cramped, urban terrain and make use of old Octarian Superweapons in desperate situations.

7. #7Culture

   Keys: Culture, Common Thought, Octarian Culture

   Culture in the Underground can be described as a mixture of Ancient Suoccealist Alternan (Socialist Values), A need to pursuit Knowledge, Games of brainpower, Love of Music and a heavy emphasis on Militarism with a common dislike of their surface neighbors, the Inklings all together known 'The Common Thought', or just Octarian Culture.

   Octarian Culture is heavily influenced by ancient socialism and technocracy and much of Octarian life within the Domes revolve around upkeeping the old socialist values to ensure the survival of the Octarians. Octarians, Unlike their Inkling relatives, have a larger brain capacity and are known to have excellent problem-solving skills and have a instinctual desire to seek knowledge and learn anything they can. Octarian Culture often considers being well-knowledged as a desirable trait, often those most intelligent being the ones to lead Octarian Society. Unlike their Inkling relatives, Instead of games of violence and extreme competition, Octarians have a preference towards games of brainpower and strategy and often compete in competitions of puzzles, abstract questions, Wargames and out-thinking their opponent. Octarians, like their Inkling relatives, have a love of music and have formed their own unique musical identity that revolves around a mixture of remixing military marching music, adding random sound samples, weird vocals and unusual beats that can almost hypnotize a listener if listened for enough time...

   The most defining aspect of Octarian Culture is its heavy emphasis on the Military and Military life. Being mostly descendants of Soldiers, Military life is heavily glorified and much of the population has 'Willingly' joined the Violet Army for better food rations, the chance to get better jobs or to even have the opportunity to one day become part of the governing Council.

   One thing that unites the Underground Octarians is the common dislike of the Inklings and the idea of one day reclaiming the surface for themselves. Ever since the Great Turf War, Many Octarians consider Inklings to be their worst enemy and the reason they're stuck underground to begin with. Until recent times, Any inkling that dared to get close to the Underground were killed and incinerated.

   The Youth Culture in The Underground is a recent mix of the new, fresh ideals of the outside world mixed with the traditions and culture of the Underground.

9. #9Food

   Keys: Food, Rations, Meals

   Stuck underground with nothing but whatever the extinct humans left behind and whatever the ancestors of those who survived the Great Turf War brought, The foods Octarians have access to are very limited when compared to everything else. Octarian food is heavily based off of pre-processed food rations that are somewhat bland, but have enough variety to make them palletable to the average Octarian. Foods that are harvested from Agriculture Domes are usually crops such as Algae, Lab-Grown meat or most importantly, Mushrooms.

   Without need for natural sunlight, Mushrooms are a staple food for Octarians and have been bred to resemble multiple familiar flavors such as fruit or certain meats.

12. #12Weaponry

    Keys: Weaponry

    All weapons, non-lethal and lethal, use ink as their source of ammunition. In the most basic form, All weapons are pressurized waterguns that fire ink projectiles at different speeds that are inspired by ancient human weapons. Non-lethal weapons fire pressurized pure ink at lower speeds. Lethal weapons fire highly pressurized ink at high speeds with small bits of metal mixed in with the ink to ensure internal bleeding. Weapons come in any forms, from basic Splattershots to advanced Chargers.

    Keys: Scientific research, Scientific discoveries, Science

    With bigger brains and a higher intelligence. compared to Inklings, The technologies of the Underground are old human technologies that have been brought to working order and improved upon by countless scientists across the Domes.

    Much of the technology in the Domes are years ahead of their surface-world counterparts, but are energy-Hungry and demand constant maintenance.

14. #14Inkling-Octarian Relations

    Keys: Race, Reunification, Species, Inklings, Octolings, Octarians, Octopus, Squids

    Before the Great Turf War, It was known that both Octarians and Inklings saw each other as neutral races who were mostly kept to themselves, but would occasionally cooperate with each other. But when sea levels began to rise and land was becoming scarce, A dislike of each other grew and grew until the Octarians had enough of their violent, slightly stupid inkling neighbors and struck first. At the end of the Great Turf War, The Inklings and their allies proved to be victorious and the Octarians were forced underground. Since then, Relations between the two races have remained hostile until recent times.

    Most Older/Radical Octarians see Inklings as brutish bloodthirsty warmongers who drove their species to die underground and then killed off the rest of their surface kin. They also think Inklings are capitalist-corporate seapig bootlickers who party over the smallest things and stomp on each other's faces if it meant being the top of the corporate-social ladder

    While Younger Octarians share many of the traditional communal ideologies, most young Octarians (Especially Octolings) are heavily influenced by newer outsider ideologies and believe the only way to ensure the future of their species is to remake contact, unify with the Inklings and peacefully spread their ideology.

    In recent times, more and more Octolings are moving to Inkopolis and the hate between the two species lesson, but will never truly go away.

The Deepsea Metro is owned and operated by the Kamabo Corporation was the first surface-world company to service the Underground, Building a railroad that directly connected the Underground to massive subterranean metro system, the Deepsea Metro. Many Octarians who desire to leave the Underground usually take the Deepsea Metro to the surface.

    It's true intentions are unknown to all but Commander Tartar and the countless Octarian lives lost in his experiments.

16. #16Respawn Machines

    Keys: , Respawn Machines, Respawn

    Respawn Machines are machines that allow somebody who has been killed within a mile of it to physically respawn. Repawn Machines are a Inkling invention, created during the Great Turf War as a mean of keeping troops alive and keeping the war ongoing.

    While Respawn Machines are common in the surface, they are non-existent within the Underground. Without these machines to stop Octarians from dying, Octarians have a very real fear of death and take combat and their lives very seriously.

17. #17Energy Crisis

    Keys: Energy Crisis, The Energy Crisis

    Energy is the most important resource in the entire underground, with only a few Electrical Generators within the Domes capable of producing power. This energy is used to power the 'Skies', Water pumps, Farming, Etc. The money the Underground uses is based off energy.

    In recent times, The fuel needed to keep these energy generators going has starting running low and more and more power is being outputted, some Dome systems losing power and becoming uninhabitable. With less and less energy being outputted by the day, Their currency has been becoming useless and more and more citizens are starting to feel the effects of Economic Collapse and overcrowding, leading some to drastic measures such as rebellion or stealing Inkopolis's very important source of energy.
