Dumb question but it's Kombaticus name inspired on that homonymous user from the previous forum?

Planet Kollidor
Planet Kollidor, homeworld of the Yabans, Kegarin goblins, & Jinkai nymphs, as well as one half of the Kollidor-Sarrat dual planet system.

A dark, war torn planet run by an insane god of war and dominated by psychotic bloodlusted fascistic demon-monkeys, perhaps Kollidor's most noteworthy feature is its lopsided ring which doesn't orbit along the centrifugal axis of the planet due to multiple great warriors' raw power messing with the planet's gravity in the past.

It orbits two normal stars, much like Tatooine, but the third brightest "star" in the sky is a black hole known as Kabathi. Kabathi gave birth to Dead Gods Society and the Amotsatvya Kagora (Dead Gods Round).

Legally-Not-Planet-Vegeta

Much like Catachan, Kollidor is an unforgiving death world despite its surface-level appearances. There are very few "safe places" on Kollidor that a human could eke out a peaceful existence, though that number has gone up in recent eons— for all the wrong reasons


There are Earthlike stetches on Kollidor, undoubtedly, of beautiful jungles and vast grasslands, all hiding deadly elements.

But these aren't why you come to Kollidor.


Subotai Deathlands
A typical landscape in the Eastern Yeren wastelands, the easternmost part of the Yeren khanate known as Subotai. Sol Yulaan hails from this region. As with almost all other places on Kollidor, it's battle-scarred and in a permanent state of dilapidation and ruin, haunted by feral Yabans, kegarin goblins, sojan-geths, carnivorous mega-plants, and more violent beasts.

Yulaan describes the Subotai Deathlands as "the geographical equivalent of a stagnant pisshole."






Planet Kollidor is a battle-scarred primeval world seemingly built for the purpose of being used and wasted for war. Even when it's beaten to bits by Yabans or their enemies, the god Getavara will always Laugh and restore it to its wartorn glory.

Here's another image of a place on the continent of Subotai, a craggy deathland under a red sky

Jinkai and Yaban | The two ancient races of Planet Kollidor

Generated with Stable Diffusion

Very similar to the situation between the Tsufruians and the Saiyans.


Who are the Jinkai? It's a bit complicated, but the war between Saiyans and Tsufurians/Tuffles is the best way to interpret it

In short, a race of advanced humans fought a race of violent monkey-tailed warriors, and the monkeys destroyed them. But here, it’s a bit more complicated.

The Jinkai ("People of Heaven") were a native civilization of Kollidor created by Getavara before Yabans as a resurrection of the then-extinct precursor civilization that had failed long ago. Of course, he shifted intentions and created Yabans for fun and profit, then let the two species "co-exist" just to watch the inevitable conflicts.

The Jinkai people were a primitive people at the time, but were more sophisticated than the brutish Yabans. Their most advanced societies were similar to the Sumerians and Egyptians, with even their smaller dwellings being on par with Jericho and Çatalhöyük. Whatever catastrophe destroyed their ancient precursor civilization, they were clearly rebuilding from. Jinkai people were greedy and selfish, but altruistic and friendly much like humans. Altogether, they preferred to be left alone.

But on the outskirts of civilization and beyond, there lived the mysterious Yaban race.

Yabans lived a raw and inhumane lifestyle, completely unconcerned with the comforts of civilization. Indeed, they were too violent to form large-scale civilization at the time, as the electric monkey people only had one common desire: endless combat. Docile Yabans were clever and industrious, but they always aimed themselves towards war, and this prevented them from coagulating into proper societies, even as primitive towns appeared.

At first, the Jinkai had learned to disregard Yabans, discovering that showing no aggression caused the battle-crazed monkeys to become bored and disinterested in further carnage. But civilization did collapse again due to the Jinkai's own violent tendencies, and the Jinkai people were forced to engage in combat with Yabans to survive.

Kollidor for a while was a primeval utopia of these primitive cavemen doing battle with half-feral electric monkey people, Kegarin goblins, dinosaurs, and whatnot. Jinkais were always at a stark disadvantage compared to the ruthless might of Yabans, and so they were forced to learn more magical and weapons-based martial arts to survive.


Jinkai barbarian

In the jungles, grasslands, volcanic plains, coastlines, mystical deserts, and caves, Jinkai cavemen and barbarian wizards, nagois, bollois, kegarin goblins, and other fantastic creatures engaged in brutal primal war for a thousand years. Mighty masculine warrior kings and beautiful Amazonian queens regularly rose and commanded the Jinkais to fight one another and against the Yabans, all in the name of conquest, glory, and battle. These barbarian conquerors admired Yabans for their sole focus on battle, and drove Jinkais to mimic them in whatever arena they entered.


King Hakunan | Ancient Jinkai warrior king during the Yaban Age of Mythology, a mighty barbarian during the Jinkai peoples' most savage day


Jinkai barbarian kings of Olde were aplenty, but few as mighty as King Hakunan, a man who lived up to the classic quote: what is best in life?

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

Hakunan commanded an impressively massive empire, but even at the peak of his power, he never escaped the battlefield, always opting to throw himself into the thick of battle to keep himself strong, masculine, and capable.

Barbarian warriors wandered the Kollidorian deathlands, fighting against demons and monsters within, and inevitably clashing against Yabans. Young men would rise and grow old and strong, slaying kegarins and dinosaurs and dragons, and they would meet their fate against Yabans to see who would best who in battle. This was a savage world for savage people.


Two Yaban barbarians, and an unfortunate Jinkai fighter

Primitive Jinkais and Yabans would fight regularly— but while Jinkais were desperate for land, resources, and basic stability, they were left flummoxed by their rivals' seeming disinterest in any form of preservation. To the confusion of Jinkais, Yabans sought violence for the blank purpose of violence; they fought for fighting's sake and would gladly throw away territory if it meant war would continue. They would gladly betray one another for the sake of a better challenge. And most confusingly, Yabans would even war among themselves for seemingly no conscious reason, sometimes spontaneously, and they'd wipe themselves out in internecine violence, taking whomever else they could down with them.

But it was the Feral Yabans that Jinkais feared the most. Completely beyond logic and reason, living a pure fluid existence of thoughtless instinct, Feral were violence personified, zombies of war who possessed unearthly strength and unstoppable impulses to kill. Even Yabans found Ferals difficult.

Violence proved so instinctual to the Yaban condition that Jinkais quickly learned the fruitlessness of any sort of peaceful coexistence. No matter how much they sought it, Yaban ultraviolence overruled their capacity for diplomacy in the long term and sometimes even the short term. The martial ways of Docile Yabans and the nexcidious blood-crazed warlust of Chaotic and Feral Yabans made peace impossible.

Though Jinkais still made the attempt, and what peace did exist between some groups proved mutually beneficial— Yabans developed magical abilities and weaponry forging, while Jinkais developed warrior values and martial spirits that improved their fighting ability and honed warrior classes into prime fighters.

But these never lasted, and the blood and thunder barbarian kung fu fantasy of Ancient Kollidorian life continued.

The Jinkai people were more numerous than Yabans and eventually reformed into civilizations of increasing complexity, mastering magicke and qi cultivation while developing greater technologies. But they remained permanently at war with Yabans, knowing from their primal wars that they could never peacefully coexist with such a psychotic species. Yabans were driven to the far, distant, shadowy edges of civilization once more, only occasionally mingling with Jinkais in limited situations.

But their nature never changed. Yabans loved to fight.

Yabanity's strength was so preposterous that even as Jinkais reached space age levels of technology, they could not defeat their still-primitive rivals. Jinkai warriors fought valiantly against the brutal Yabans, but could never overcome them.

Eventually, after the corruption war of the Storm Devil Arashima and the wars against the invasive Vedar demons weakened the Jinkais, Yabans emerged victorious and wiped out the Jinkai civilizations, beginning the Black Ages-- thousands of years of pure, raw, primeval war without much recorded history. After the Jinkai civilization fell and only the nymphs were left, Yabans weren't in a hurry to advance. So for a few thousand years, there was just pure chaotic violence between Yabans. Hence the Black Ages.

The Jinkai's magical abilities came in handy in warding off their extinction, as they managed to keep a line of celestial priestesses alive and self-perpetuating by transmogrifying them into magical nymphs, a new female-only species that would be capable of pacifying Yabans among other very feminine traits.

There's no other remnant of the Jinkai people in modern times; modern Yaban technology stems from both Docile Yabans figuring it out and Gosamyrian influence.
