Hello from Tokki


Planet Tokki began from a rock in space that mysteriously grew in size. As it grew and grew, so did little clusters of cells until the creatures we know today emerged! How did life begin on this rock? The answer is simple. Snizzles, an alien race, put them there as little cells. These little cells, happy about the warmth from the sun, started dividing and dividing, squealing with delight. They divided until the first Tokkisomians came to be. Wormie-like and water-loving, these first Tokkisomians ruled the planet for tens of thousands of years! Overtime, they evolved into aquatic creatures with utilitarian appendages. These early creatures, it is believed, adhered to strict principles of simple-living, save for their strange practice of collecting twigs (as evidenced by archaeological digs of underground burrows showing high numbers of twigs wrapped in bundles of 10, each bundle holding twigs of similar diameter and length). It is believed that they had irascible dispositions and growled often. About 16 million years ago, Garbeji, the main land mass on Planet Tokki was split into two main sections and several little pieces by a large cosmic force. One large piece would float to its current northernmost position and become Kokkiri Island. The other would float south and become Hinky Fluff Island. The other pieces would become smaller less populated islands further south. The creatures on these islands would later evolve to adapt to the new climatic changes and carve their own niches. Over millions of years, these creatures changed in shape and size to become the modern day Tokkisomians.
Currently, Tokkisom holds only 4 documented islands: Hinky Fluff, Kokkiri, Akemi and Yang-Pa. They are separated by their vast oceans and can take up to 3 months of sea travel to reach the other. There are several more islands yet to be studied, however...
Please continue reading the brief introductions to each island. Once you finish, you can click on any of the island icons or on the main map above or below. You will go directly to that island's map and be able to explore the different regions of that island and learn about the characters.



Kokkiri Island is located far north of the other two and is much colder in climate. This climate is ideal for the brooder or the daydreamer because of the many rainy days throughout a given year. There are at least 4 known types of creatures here, all having adapted successfully to the cold weather. One such adaptation involves the use of natural fibers. Creating what they call "jackets," for example, have allowed them to survive long winter months.
Life in Kokkiri is simple and mellow. Most prefer to enjoy their days in front of a nice hearth amongst family, conversing with fellow Kokkirians in a comfy pub, or eating a nice plate of mash in a popular diner on the southside. Still others prefer a solitary life, having only a flock of killer sheepies by their side while they take to the open seas as a pirate by night.



Hinky Fluff is the most extensively studied island because it holds a city nightlife very appealing to our researchers. Containing the richest rainforests to the most breathtaking cliffs, this island has the most variation in climate than any of the other known islands on the planet. There are at least 9 known and at least 2 invading types of creatures on the island.
On this particular island, there has been a silent takeover by a mad scientist. This invasion, surprisingly, has largely gone unchallenged by the mass. According to an eminent researcher on Hinky Fluff, the creature, named the evil mad scientist Professor Mortimer Von Hinkystein, appeared ten years ago without explanation. The citizens met his appearance with mild apathy and indifference, allowing Dr. Von Hinkystein to establish a large-scale factory on a small island in Hinky Fluff's bay to create what Hinky Fluffians now call his henchmen. Beware of these creatures while you're here visiting. They can be quite dangerous when provoked! The intrigue does not end there. Hinky Fluff is also known for its apparitions. On the Haunted Forest, strange spirits come out at night and roam the streets in search of hapless insomniacs.



Yang Pa is a small island located north of Akemi. This island is largely unexplored by both Tokki-Somans and researchers, but recent air surveys suggest a new and mysterious hard-working community on that island. Further research grants would allow us to travel and create a research facility there. Both Kokkirians and Hinky Fluffians agree that whatever dwells on that island would be best left alone. We disagree.



Akemi was once home to the illustrious artist, Akemi Ikegami, made famous by her practice of using Hinky Fluff binky wool to create her clothing and accessories. However, Akemi has disappeared and her whereabouts are unknown at this time. Many blame the unusually severe monsoon season in that region while others are convinced she simply decided to move away for a time. Only time will tell where she has gone and when she will return. In the meantime, the binkies of Hinky Fluff can breathe a sigh of relief and protect their wool a little while longer.
