Planet

In the distant future, Earthlings spread out far beyond the Milky Way in search for planets they can live on. They spread between different planets and settle on a few that are suitable for life. Nuoti is on of these. Nuoti is a large planet with two others locked into its orbit. Lapane, the largest of the two, is tidally locked to Nuoti. Because Lapane does not turn, the half that faces the sun is a desert and the face that doesn't is tundra. The desert brings heat to make water boil, constant hurricanes, and a never ending day. The tundra is eternally dark and is cold enough to freeze man's blood. In between where the two meet is a small strip of habitable land. This was enough. But thousands of years later, because of over population, humanity has had to spread outwards. Those who have adapted are able to live on the outskirts on the tundra or the desert. In the desert and the tundra, man is not the top of the food chain. 

In the tundra, large blubbery beasts feed on men. They favor the coldest part of the tundra, but will venture to the outskirts to feed on the few humans that live there. The few inhabitants of the Tundra are ancestors of the poor. Those without the money to buy their way to the Center were sent to the Tundra or Desert. Few survived. Their ancestors developed thicker skin each generation. They are able to easily digest raw fish and have sharper teeth. Their diets consists of fish and the canned goods that are shipped from the Center.

The Desert has a similar history as the Tundra. The poor were sent there as over population in the Center became a problem. While humans in the Tundra became paler, as to have a smaller vitamin d intake, those in the Desert gained more melatonin and became much darker. Their diet consist of the food that is shipped from the Center and bugs. They have developed larger stomaches to store water.
