1. How about a nuke or energy deltahuman used to power the city, but hasn't had any agency on how they use their power because they're owned by the government/government experiment gone right (not public knowledge this person exist). They gain an awareness of how they're being used and is sick of it, so they charge up and release it all at once destroying the city, and maybe themselves with it.

2. The government doesn't have power control programs and counseling to help children learn to control their power. Powerful abilities aren't rare, disastrous ones are. LA was devastated by children, twins, combined natural disaster abilities. Tsunami, tornado, earthquake, etc.

Did you get this from a random gang name generator? lol

oof. I only use name generators 98% of the time. these names were made by my creative and bright mind. As for your little problem...

Two brothers were running for the law and found themselves to be surrounded in or near Los Angeles. The LAPD accidentally shot and killed one of the brothers, the nonpowered one. And he was so grief-stricken that he unleashed a strong enough earthquake to trigger the San Andreas fault line, resulting in an 8.7, then a 9.0, and finally, a 7.8 earthquake. The resulting earthquakes caused massive destruction throughout California, especially in the south and the Los Angeles county. Due to the cost of repairs, the US government decided to declare Southern California (including Los Angeles) an exclusion zone with the hope of rebuilding what was taken. For now, Congress is debating on the plans while local governments still deal with evacuations.

As for Los Angeles, it remains a lawless city with the military (and national guard) picking up desperate citizens once a month. But with the hope of one day retaking the city from the gangs and criminals currently occupying it.

I really like this idea. Especially the part about California being an exclusion zone.

We're closer and closer to making this RP a reality. So this is the lore for Deltahumans in case anyone had any questions. I'm also willing to make adjustments to it.

Thoughts on this?

♦ CHIMERAIZATION ♦


Next to ashing there's a rare but extremely dangerous effect caused by the crystals. There's a chance that a Delta-crystal will merge with a biological organism that it comes in contact with. The result will end in a metamorphosis that'll create a horrific being known as a Chimera. Any being Deltahuman or not can undergo Chimeraization and become any number of freakish mutations. From animals to humans, to even plants. Chimeras take any number of appearances depending on what type of being they are, a person can go from humanoid to a four-legged monster or something even more incoherent. What's consistent among Chimeras is that their bodies will be covered in Delta-crystals and the longer they survive the more crystals they'll grow and further away from their original form they'll get. It's unknown what'll happen after an extended period of time because most Chimeras are killed or expire naturally before they progress. Chimeras all have powers that are extremely powerful but unstable; being that has no powers will get one and Deltahumans will get a drastically more powerful and jailbroken version of their existing powers. However, what's strange is that a Deltahuman-Chimera may get new powers that were related to their existing abilities, or possibly be another version of their existing abilities. Psychologically Chimeras vary, humans may completely lose all cognitive functions while some may retain their personalities and free will. However, all Chimeras are driven to attack other Deltahumans along with collecting more crystals and adding it to their body (Along with gaining new powers).

Despite all of this, the process of Chimeraization is exceedingly rare, and it's only a 1 in a million chance of becoming a Chimera after transforming. Metahumans are seemingly more susceptible to becoming a Chimera, as any Metahuman that undergoes the condition to manifest an ability (I.E a traumatic or high-stress event) while in close proximity to a Delta-Crystal can undergo Chimeraization. However, any organism that comes in contact with a Delta-Crystal has a chance to Chimeraize upon contact.

What's strange is that during natural disasters or other such events the amount of Chimerization increases.

Chimeraization sounds interesting. and I would be down to include it.

About the Deltahuman types, are there any that would be restricted from being player characters?

I like the idea if Chimeras being rare, so there aren't monsters running around every corner. Don't much care for chimerization increasing during a disaster. How does that happen when crystals are rare in the wild? The chances of it happening don't change when there's no crystals for organisms to be exposed to.

I like Phoenixes, fits more into the idea of them banding together for survival to me. Sirens suggests they're just in it to cause chaos.

If Chimeras are initially super rare the idea of them multiplying somewhat come natural disasters makes sense to me. Presumably the crystals they generate can then be used to create more Deltahumans? That could suggest a huge value being ascribed to them, perhaps there are bounties placed on Chimera's heads from the start?

good point.

I had the idea that natural disasters cause more crystals to appear.

If the Crystals come from space that means it's not a renewable resource nor is it natural to earth, so the volume can't increase, because it's not a living thing that can reproduce.

What technology did the government have to detect Crystals that they were able to round most of them up? If your average joe can hide it in their kitchen, then realistically there would be more than a few. Anyone with money or anyone that scavenges for them could have a collection in their house. It could be illegal to have, but laws don't stop people from committing crimes, and the government can't search property without probable cause and a warrant.

Are the increase of Crystals in the world due to black market dealing and experiments with chimerization? If that's the case what's the purpose of dropping Crystals in random places for anyone to find? Rare resources are expensive. Chimerization is 1 in a million, but complete chimerization is even rarer than that. So what's the chance of 1 chimera popping up in a destroyed LA? What makes a complete transformation work in one organism that doesn't work in others, because most die before it's completed.

There is a sensor developed that can detect the extreme amounts of Delta energy, it's not perfectly accurate though (and again the government can't do that). It's like a mobile device attached to a vehicle that gives computer readings that allow them to pinpoint a Delta crystal. It's not like a giant supercomputer that can detect all crystals. Most of the Delta-Crystals were mostly collected over the years due to incidents popping up where they were discovered and the fact that they were pretty obvious and easy to find a glowing rock. So it's not really deployed widespread nowadays unless they have a reason to believe it. Some slipped through the cracks and it's not unreasonable to say some weirdos horded a few.

There is a reason why but it's not known yet (AKA I want to reveal it in the IC).

Either way, I think we decided on everything we need to and I'm going to get started on the OOC.

Now, if you guys could come up with some colorful gangs (or maybe some real ones idk) that'd be great.

Really interested in this. Hope there is room. My attempt at an NPC gang is below.
