the adventures of hornsy and the blacksand mercs

intro

the island of Kenshi is a...difficult place to live, mainly all of its animals, from fast as fuck meat-eating egg-laying giraffes, malfunctioning robotic spiders, a pack of bipedal stumpy legged lizards, massive leviathans, packs of limb loving bone dogs, dog-sized spiders that somehow can use the force to attack from out of their physical range, and giant fucking crabs (yes there are giant crabs)

Kenshi is also a place of multi-culturalism with 4 races

humans: your bog-standard race, humans are very selfish and easily bribed with money, they also think there superior

Shek: these horned bony-plated men are a lot taller than a normal human though not as smart due to there philosophy of military might over education, they are extremely honorable to the point that they would prefer to die in battle than come out alive

the hivers: these bug men (as called by many) are a hive mind and are controlled by a queen, the lesser hivers are ordered around by the Princes who handle trade and craftsmanship, then there are the warriors: who are the security of the hive villages and caravans, and finally there are the drones who handle all the dumb labor and construction, their main craft is basic prosthetics

and skeletons: if your thinking about those spooky boys then you are dead wrong, the skellingtons are sentient robots who were created by an ancient empire eons ago, they have emotions and personalities (the majority are just depressed) though there humor is rather dry

the factions: there are a lot of faction in Kenshi from hoards of starving bandits, to packs of weeaboos wearing tin-hats dabbing away with bread baskets "SsethTzeentach's review of Kenshi", to even robots who peel human skin and wear them, and cannibals that will cook you alive...well that was mortifying, but there are 3 main faction

united cities(U.C): they are an imperial government who thinks that if everyone works, the world would be a safer place, they use slaves of all races (except skeletons) to do all the manual work for them but keep all the money to themselves because humans, this leaves corruption and poverty to run rampant, allowing narcotics to fetch a high price within their walls

the holy nation(H.N): there a bunch of xenophobic, misogynistic, genocidal, zealots who will kick anyone's ass if there: 1 not human, 2 a lone woman, 3 a non-believer and especially if you're a skeleton which they consider evil incarnate, this goes for prosthetics as well

the shek kingdom(S.K): rather small but still strong due to its military, the shek has been at war with H.N for some time but recently a truce has been agreed, though tension runs high between the two factions

there are other minor factions but im getting bored with writing so now the main bit:

these stories originally started out as short skits on a facebook group but escalated into writing an actual storyline, so some of these will be just archiving from the FB page but I do hope you'll enjoy, 

quick note: im not THAT good at writing it's just I have trouble translating what's in my head onto paper...or a document BUT I am trying my best 

note 2: this universe takes place in a game called KENSHI but a lot of the things that happen are not in the game but are all a figment of my imagination
