Vilous | Talyxian Power Generating Tricycle Taxi
🕑 Added 2019-11-25 19:04:48 +0000 UTCThis artwork is for Kahō Aoki the Southern Sergal
Within Gold Ring, towards the modern era in the year 100 of the Rain Calendar, we've got Kahō Aoki the Southern Sergal, driving a Talyxian power generating tricycle as a taxi driver, while carrying two male Nevrean passengers.
We would like to feature this artwork piece from Mick alongside a very healthy, fresh, a quite amount of chunk of lore!
Please enjoy the read down below!
General knowledge of vehicles in Vilous Universe
As planet Tal has a lot of deserts and rugged lands, common vehicles can be seen occupied by people or animals as well as towed by them, such as rickshaws and carriages.
There are fairly few kinds of vehicles which can run with an engine. Such types are generally limited within city areas.
The main and greatest role of vehicles is the transportation of people and luggage. As Sergals have their sturdy legs which can run fast, powerfully, dotted with a rich amount of stamina to keep them running for long periods of time, they would rather, rarely use vehicles for the purpose of simple travel.
Structure of Talyxian power generation tricycle taxi
This vehicle is a tricycle taxi which runs while being dependant on human-power as a main driving force. When it heads towards an ascending slope, it invokes the electric Talyxian assist.
These frames are made from the bones of a Talyxian organism which has been passed through breed improvement. When cultivating them, people set vines that the creature then grows into the basic shape in order to form the frame.
In the early stage of the growth, they are covered with a thin meaty membrane. This membrane will wither in the late stage of growth, and a vine will leave only a white and firm stem.
The feather-like things that grow on the roof of the vehicle are known as their leaves which have a power generation ability.
Also, there is a tube which serves in functionality as a power line, reaching all the way down towards the Taxi's actuator parts which contribute to it's movement.
These 'power generation leaves' and 'power line tubes' still keep their functionality even after the main body of the creature has withered.
When the vehicle is faced with a situation such as heading towards an ascending slope or being overburdened, the part of it which functions similar to a motor will drive.
Their wheels are made from molded rubbery matter which is extracted from another kind of Talyxian organism.
While there are a lot of kinds of machines that use Talyxian organisms, all of them share a common feature in that their meaty membrane will wither, but still keep bones through growth.
These Talyxian organic machines have been developed through collaborative efforts between Talyxian-Rooters and Eltus folks and eventually become available to be distributed amongst the populace.
Common system of taxi in planet Tal
Taxi is a common vehicle in urban areas such as Gold Ring and Tesae but their mobility range is limited only within city limits.
Almost all of the taxies are comprised of rickshaw type vehicles with three or four wheels.
There was a type that had two wheels in the earlier stages, however, that type has been forbidden later on, due to the fact that it incurred often times overturning accidents.
The regular price of a taxi fare is about 300 cevia to 400 cevia for 30 minutes.
Taxies are usually driven by Sergals and Agudners as they need physical strength in order to pedal the vehicle that has quite a bit of weight.
Detailed concept and rules with regard to driver's license and registration of vehicles are still not determined. As always, we will determine this in the future in collaboration between Mick and Kiki! Stay tuned for more lore and canon updates in the future!
