Mars

Mars is the planet that the game takes place on. It was colonized by humans during the 21st century but is now populated by martians.

Geography:
"'Our technological advancements over the years of the colony have been impressive. With the resources at our disposal, we could reform this world like alchemists and create a new world full of life after the mistakes of climate change on earth. My only concern is if this will lead us to be carried away. God is one father that is not known to be interested in grandchildren.'"- Recovered audio log of a human geoscientist.

While the real life planet Mars is devoid of life and water, this is not the case in the For the Love of Martians universe. The humans that once called this planet home were able to terraform the planet and shape it into a lush, biodiverse world. The humans were able to build two whole seas, genetically engineer multiple plant species, and accelerate evolution to create martian animals in extremely short periods of time. Despite the growing demand for agriculture, large spans of wilderness were created in an effort to promote a rich ecosystem and improve the overall health of the planet after learning about the ecological destructive ways of environmental degradation on earth.

Habitats:

 * Forests: The modern martian society is typically highly concentrated into cities which has led to more room for forest areas, these forests consist of both modified earth trees to survive on mars and even hyperevolved plants such as cosmeywoods. Marshrooms are quite reasonably common in some of the most biodiverse parts of the martian wilds. Some stories indicate that the popular substance moongrass was founded by Doxerd the sage himself which led them on a path of curiosity after seeing the world in a different way. One notable animal species is the StarDragon that can be found in forests by the sea, sometimes known to frolick in the autumn mists.
 * Oceanic: The two seas: Maiorem and Luminare are also hotbeds of life that consist of modified earthling species. One particular species is the Pistroid, an intelligent shark-like creature known for its efficiency in hunting yet its ability to befriend and emphasize with martians. They have come to the rescue of many drowning martians under a pretense that scientists believe to be genuine altruism.
 * Cities: Even during the days of the humans, occupants built their colonies into solarpunk cities that would combine the terraformed nature with the human civilization. Peppets are the grass of choice grown on everywhere, from lawns to rooftops. Parks are also home to Martian apple trees that provide nutrition to the patrons and are naturally lit by glowflowers.
