Biography
Ping @Saph if get another kid like Albion~
Kuiper is retired for a bit due to the nature of cooldown mechanics and lack of interest.

I won this lovely lil guy in a server Naomi raffle! In homage to his father’s lore, I have decided to embark on a little pet project with Kuiper here. Since the Arcanist is so heavily invested in Merari, why not add a little bit of Space to the gene pool? The universe beyond Sornieth has just as many mysterious qualities as the mythos surrounding Naomi herself. In a sense, the Shade too came from Space.
So, Kuiper is named after the belt just beyond Neptune which encapsulates many objects, including the planetoid Pluto and its satellites. Following suit, all of Kuiper’s babies with NewHorizons (NASA’s probe investigating the belt) have all been named after objects found in the belt as they left my lair (though some may have since been renamed). I call it ‘The Kuiper Belt Project’. I bred them together in Light, Arcane, Plague, Earth and Lightning. Their first nest was a tester in Nature! Since interest has died down now, the pair has been retired to a tab in my hibden along with any children I kept or didn’t manage to sell.

This achievement will go in all of the babies bios. It's to be used for Kuiper's descendants ONLY, however it has a link to the Achievement Generator so you can make your own badges too!
The Kuiper belt and Neptune may be treated as a marker of the extent of the Solar System, alternatives being the heliopause and the distance at which the Sun's gravitational influence is matched by that of other stars (estimated to be between 50000 AU and about 2 light-years).
After the discovery of Pluto in 1930, many speculated that it might not be alone. The region now called the Kuiper belt was hypothesized in various forms for decades. It was only in 1992 that the first direct evidence for its existence was found. The number and variety of prior speculations on the nature of the Kuiper belt have led to continued uncertainty as to who deserves credit for first proposing it.

The Kuiper belt (/ˈkaɪpər, ˈkʊɪ-/), occasionally called the Edgeworth–Kuiper belt, is a circumstellar disc in the outer Solar System, extending from the orbit of Neptune (at 30 AU) to approximately 50 AU from the Sun. It is similar to the asteroid belt, but is far larger—20 times as wide and 20 to 200 times as massive. Like the asteroid belt, it consists mainly of small bodies or remnants from when the Solar System formed. While many asteroids are composed primarily of rock and metal, most Kuiper belt objects are composed largely of frozen volatiles (termed "ices"), such as methane, ammonia and water. The Kuiper belt is home to three officially recognized dwarf planets: Pluto, Haumea and Makemake. Some of the Solar System's moons, such as Neptune's Triton and Saturn's Phoebe, may have originated in the region. The Kuiper belt was named after Dutch-American astronomer Gerard Kuiper, though he did not predict its existence. In 1992, Albion was discovered, the first Kuiper belt object (KBO) since Pluto and Charon. Since its discovery, the number of known KBOs has increased to thousands, and more than 100,000 KBOs over 100 km (62 mi) in diameter are thought to exist. The Kuiper belt was initially thought to be the main repository for periodic comets, those with orbits lasting less than 200 years. Studies since the mid-1990s have shown that the belt is dynamically stable and that comets' true place of origin is the scattered disc, a dynamically active zone created by the outward motion of Neptune 4.5 billion years ago; scattered disc objects such as Eris have extremely eccentric orbits that take them as far as 100 AU from the Sun. The Kuiper belt is distinct from the theoretical Oort cloud, which is a thousand times more distant and is mostly spherical. The objects within the Kuiper belt, together with the members of the scattered disc and any potential Hills cloud or Oort cloud objects, are collectively referred to as trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). Pluto is the largest and most massive member of the Kuiper belt, and the largest and the second-most-massive known TNO, surpassed only by Eris in the scattered disc. Originally considered a planet, Pluto's status as part of the Kuiper belt caused it to be reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006. It is compositionally similar to many other objects of the Kuiper belt and its orbital period is characteristic of a class of KBOs, known as "plutinos", that share the same 2:3 resonance with Neptune. |
