Planet Sage

Planet Sage is one the seven planets of the Ancient System. Sage is the origin of all love and home to Amares, a race of large greenish humanoids, it is also the sister planet of Lilac. The planet is covered with tall rock mountains and isn’t home to any other species than Amares, all other life being plant-based.

Amares
Amares are large humanoids with round heads and bodies. They might be able to survive harsh conditions like high and low temperatures, lack of food and water, but they have very low stamina and are known to be slow. They are hairless and asexual, meaning they do not possess any gender: Amares do not have genitals and cannot reproduce, they are all born from the Mother Tree, which makes Amares closer to sentient plants than mammals. Amares only need sun and water to survive, they do not eat any types of food. On Sage they have evolved into a community of Monks and they specialize in teaching love to other civilizations, often working as pacifists, called to settle conflicts thorough the galaxy. They are respected and protected by the Council, and Amare Monks are treated as the highest authority when making decisions in the Union. Amares are regarded as the bringers of Love and Peace, and out of Sage they often settle on other planets as private therapists and love counselors. Amares are prohibited to leave Sage unless they are monks, but few have successfully left.

History
Planet Sage is of the seven ancient planets, and its Mother Tree is said to be the source of all love in the universe. When the Spirit created the universe, it rested on Heather and dreamed of all things good, joy and happiness. From their dream birthed the Mother Tree, and it spread love and happiness all thorough the galaxy. For centuries the Amares have lived in the Amare Temples, celebrating love by studying it and training newer generations into peacemakers. Sister planet of Lilac, the High Monks of Sage prohibits communications with other planets, so their only interactions are through the Council. Visiting Sage requires the Council’s permission, and permission is rarely granted. Life on Sage might seem oppressing, since every Amare are learning to the same goal, and they all eventually become Monks whether they want it or not. Some Amares never becomes Monks since they never grasp the subtleties of peace, but they still must continue learning the path of peace through various learning methods, sometimes as assistants of Monks, sometimes through exile or missions to war-ridden planets.
