Insect Line up

Description

PHEW IT'S DONE!

I made up a bunch of tribes that worship insects as the bringers of intenlligence and thoughts to humans. There beliefs differ on which insect to worship, and people who worship arachnids or isopods are heretics. So basically the major insect tribes drove out the arachnids and some of the isopods long ago, so they're all primative and shtuff.
Here are the people:

Butterflies were one of the biggest forces behind the Insect wars. They're kinda snobby and pompous. Girl is a princess so she's based on a Monarch and the guy is just a bunch of butterflies put together.

Mothes Are really laid back, thought they do like to look nice. Most people group them and butterflies together. The girl was the first one I made up and I stuck with the design even though it doesn't look like a moth, the guy is kinda based on this one [link]

Flies used to live like crap, but through there perserverance and frugality (totally a word) they went through some sort of industrial revolution and now look like 1920s Americans! They still live pretty filthy though.

Mites and Ticks got grouped into one. Since Ticks and mites aren't insects they kinda lived on the fringes of society, but they teamed up with the numerous flies and now they have flapper parties and oxford bags. YAY. Girl is a Peacock Mite and guy is a lone star tick.

Bees are pretty nefarious and brain washed. The girl is the future queen and the boy was supposed to be her husband, but he is such a goody-two-shoes she can't stand it plus he's in love with some worker girl! The nerve. For now her name is Vesper and she's working on an evil plot with Ant boy (named Anthony).

Ants are pretty much like bees, and they were always friendly with eachother, but never tied the knot. The old lady is the queen who used to be really hot and got married a lot and all of her husbands mysteriously disappeared. Anthony (the guy) has a messed up eye becasue they have there whole manhood ceremony of being bitten by one of those crazy bitey ants and he happened to get bit in the eye, which sucks but he looks BA so whatevs. He is going to be the queens new husband becasue his dad is the best general ever. He goes on a diplomatic trip to the Bee Queendom and he and Vesper fall in evil love and hatch a plot to get rid of the Butterfly/mothes/beetles/others by arming the Arachnids and setting them at eachother so the Bee/Ant colony will rule the world. I think I'll make them more sympathetic by showing the the colonies are starving and they need more resources so they want to take them from others. But either way if the arachnids die who cares, and if every else dies just drop a bomb and the wasteland and there you go.

Mantis are like stoic philosophers. They think everybodies dumb except the cicadas and they're going to go at it once Ant and Vesper's plan succeeds in killing everyone.

Beetles are the most numerous and powerful of the Tribes, they were the driving force behind pushing the heretics out so they harbor resentment towards them. I was going to have three groups of Dung beetles, normal beetles and horned beetles but I didn't feel like it. Girl is based on a green scarab, guy on a rhinoceros beetle.

Cicadas are like the Mantises, wait forever and strike, based on their real lives of patience. Girl is light green like a newly metamorphosed cicada and the guy is older.

Pill bugs and other isopods aren't hated to the extent of the arachnids, but everyone thinks they're leally dumb and they're like the hill billies of the insect world.

Spiders and Scorpions lives suck. They were forced away from the fertile river basin to a wasteland, and you can't really progress when you spend all day trying to find burrowing edible worms, so they're kinda stuck in a primitive state. They hate everybody, but Ant and Vesper are going to convince them to take up some advanced arms to get rid of everyone.

So Ant boy and Bee girl are villains, and I think Pillbug boy, moth girl and Mantis boy will be the unlikely heroes to stop the mass slaughter by going on a journey or something. I dunno, it's much funner to make up people than to figure out what they should do.
