Ik

Ik (イク, Iku) was a mysterious planet located in the Core Region of Universe 7B. Few knew about the existence of the planet, orchestrated in part by the administration of the previous God of Destruction, Raki. Ik was inhabited by a dimunitive race of natives known as Ikians, an offshoot race of Core People.

Overview
Ik was a temperate paradise world, with gentle weather and climate, and sprawling expanse of untouched wilderness. At first glance, it would appear to be uninhabited, as Ik lacked any of the giant cities other populated worlds possessed. Instead, centers of civilization on the planet consisted of small tree-top towns and villages in which the native Ikians lived. Vast forests covered the surface of the planet, as well as grasslands and plains, broken up in places by rugged mountain chains. The sky was a soft pink in color, turning darker orange and red when the sun set. The climate and weather on the planet was very stable, being mostly pleasant spring, with short and mild winters and summers.

The native Ikians were an offshoot of the Core Person race, having skin that mostly ranges in pastel colors, with pink or purple being the most common. Ikians are all universally short, rarely growing past 4' in height (121 cm). They live long lives, much longer than a human's, stretching into the hundreds of years; they retain a youthful appearance for the majority of their lives. Ikians were a gentle, peaceful race, with no concept of battle, war, or violence: instead of war or combat, they settled their differences through dance battles and other similar activities. The Ikians had virtually no concept of government or economy, instead living peaceful utopian lives in which anyone could do as they wished.

A notable Ikian was the God of Destruction for Universe 7B, Nessie.

Trivia

 * The Ikians were influenced by the Eloi in H. G. Wells' sci-fi classic The Time Machine.
