Description
Vedric Prime is a lush tropical planet covered teaming with life. It is 5 times the size the of earth, with an atmosphere that has a 45% higher oxygen content than Earth, because of this high oxygen content the planets flora and fauna tend to grow large. Many of the animals here are predatory quite dangerous.Thought Vedric Prime is so large its gravitation pull is only slightly higher than Earth at 1.2Gs. This phenomenon has yet to be fully explored though scientist believe it has something to do with the planets strange magnetic fields.These magnetic fields are responsible for some interesting sights like floating islands and upward flowing waterfalls.
The planet is made up of 69% water and has frozen poles. There are to Sentient species that call this planet home, the Arisians and the Sigarans.
There are lush Jungles and forest and wide green plains. Less than 1% of the surface is desert. Even this rocky arid environment is full of life, with hardy cactus like plants and tough animals.

Cool... Two moons, though... Must play hell with the tides.

Not as much as the freaky magnetic phenomena on the planet that mess with gravity. Imagine you're sailing on the ocean minding your business then suddenly your boat starts floating upward because of it metal parts are being repulsed by a magnetic-field you didn't detect.

Very well thought through... But an oxygen content of 65%? This is a planet where atmospheric fire-storms would be frequent.

very good point. I really didn't think about that may need to revise that,I wonder though if the humidity and high rain fall would effect that. Will have to check it out.

Gravity is a result of mass, not size. Therefore your planet, though relatively large, might have only a slightly higher gravitational pull than earth if its density was low. Likewise, the moons might exert a lower gravitational pull, and thus cause relatively less extreme tides, if they too were of a lower density. Their extreme nearness to the planet, however, would be a problem. The frequent and long eclipses they would produce would play havoc with the weather and the growing cycle of all that vegetation on the planet's surface. In addition to that, close orbits are very unstable, with the moon almost always spiraling inward in a slow death dive. To be that close to the planet without falling in, a moon would have to whip around the planet in a matter of hours to stay aloft.
