Island Description

Innovation and advancement are the essence of this place. In its infancy it was an island like any other, though an overabundance of minerals,ore and the like lead to something of an evolution by the World Government's hand. Over time, factories and industries sprouted up. As the inhabitants delved deeper into its reservoir of metals, the ingredients for invention came to an explosive fruition. As construction thrived metal structures clambered over one another, reaching for the clouds. Creative minds flocked there in curiosity and desperation to take part in this unprecedented, technological motherland. Unique machinations and ideas circled here and functioned as a kind of bait luring in the biggest mind of all: Vegapunk himself. If they had been advanced before, they were as cavemen clanging together stones to Vegapunk. Inconceivable advancements in weaponry, transportation, medicine and more manifested themselves here. It was by his designs that Ponus evolved into its paramount form; with propellers, engines, and a series of submerged, mechanical appendages, the island was ripped from its deep roots to travel the oceans. In this way it became a collector of the abyssal treasures and resources hiding beneath the waves: a limitless horde to supply the brilliance present. It was not until this adolescent place took its first steps that it realized what a gift it could be. Taking on the moniker of “Colonizer”, it toured to other lands to share its knowledge and its contrivances with less gifted minds. However these prosperous efforts were inhibited by the World Government. Concerned about who may receive such unparalleled blessings, they kept a firm grip on the island; guarding its secrets from any whom were not subsumed within their official sovereignty. Its current model houses a novel steam engine and rail-line for public transportation and resource supply. The entire island is completely coated in metals, vast pipes and tubes,like roots, for the towering monuments and cranes which saturate this place. As an insurmountable marvel, the people here are proud, but reserved. There are no neighborly establishments to hold up in, and if one does not have any meaningful contribution by the Counsel's standard they are expected to leave or will be evicted forcibly. The charitable mindset of the past has been choked from this place and its people. They exist now only to evaluate, learn and evolve with or without outer influence. Ponus is the embodiment of change and growth beneath the paranoid watch of the World Government as they leech the most lucrative ideas fashioned there.[/center]
