Raporia is GuyThatExists' interpretation of the home planet of the Raposa, Baki, and many more lifeforms seen throughout the Drawn to Life Series. It is the second planet in its solar system, and is one of at least two planets in the system home to intelligent life. It is a habitable planet with a wide variety of climates, though the majority of the land is covered in forests and jungles. It has at least two continents and one ocean, though more of each exist.
Appearance[edit]
Raporia appears very similar to Earth, made of around 28% land and 72% sea. Most of the land is covered in forests, though many villages exist in clearings, such as Rapoville, Watersong, and Treetop Village. Other parts of the land can grow arid and are prone to volcanic activity regardless of where on the planet they are, such as Lavasteam. The north and south poles of the planet are covered in ice. Many oceans on Raporia are dotted with islands, such as Mardin Island.
A notable feature of Raporia is the rapid shift of its tectonic plates, partially thanks to the small size of the planet. This is best seen in the four years between 2008 and 2012, as Watersong went from an island village to being embedded into mainland Abarva.
While not a feature of the planet, the solar system that Raposa is situated in exists in an area of warped space, allowing time travel to be possible. According to Celia, Raporia itself is in a highly volatile pocket of spacetime with wormhole-like warping.
History[edit]
Nothing is currently known of prehistoric Raporia. Many temples have been found throughout the Beach Gate and Jangala presumed to be made by ancient Baki civilizations. It is unknown how long Raposa have existed for, though they have been known to live in the areas currently known as Rapoville and The Wasteland for at least thousands of years. Raposa began to populate more of the world over time across the continents, forming civilizations in many different climates.
Notable civilizations contain what is known as the "Three Sacred Villages" - Watersong, Lavasteam, and Galactic Jungle. It is unknown why these three villages have this title, though they have shared many similarities throughout the years. Other important villages include Maradyn and Shadow City.
The Creator[edit]
The Creator's direct involvement in Raporia's creation and development is unknown, but the most religiously devout claim that the Creator literally drew the planet into existence and that it did not form naturally. While the validity of these claims is disputed, the Creator does have a Book of Life stored in Rapoville that is said to hold the drawings of the Creator Himself. After the Week of Darkness, the Creator's influence on the world at large became more apparent, with clouds, plants, and some fauna being clearly hand-drawn.
Week of Darkness[edit]
In the late 1980s and early 2000s, many pivotal elements of time and space began to fade away and vanish, eventual culminating in a week of darkness across the planet. The darkness manifested as thick, low-laying clouds of smog that surrounded many of the villages. This was the direct result of Wilfre Shaal defacing the Book of Life by tearing out pages and scattering them in the areas surrounding Rapoville. Thanks to a Hero sent by the Creator, the pages were returned to the Book of Life, returning the world to the way it was before the week.
The Colorless Month[edit]
In 2008, the continent of Abarva was drained of most of its color by Wilfre Shaal in order to keep the Human Mike Row in his coma, as Wilfre believed that Mike's life was tied to Raporia in some way. The Creator directly intervened to end the month, returning all the color to Abarva.
Week of Light[edit]
A year after the Colorless Month, Allight began using her light abilities to enthrall Raposa across Abarva, mainly including Watersong, Lavasteam, and their penal colony Ex-Isle. After a battle in Lavasteam, Allight was defeated and her enthralled Raposa were freed from her spell. This event also uncovered Mannequite deposits that began influencing the global economy.
