Hey, I hired two people. My workload is lessening. Plus, it's fall now, so fewer things are happening outside of work, too.

I'm a filthy liar who ended up having an idea.

However, Kryptonians were also unique in that their cells function like a super battery, hypermetabolizing specific wavelengths of radiation as fuel to enable living functions and/or superhuman abilities. Different wavelengths of radiation have different effects on Kryptonian physiology and well-being, but their cells cannot absorb or utilize all types of radiation. At some point in history, their star; Rao, matured into a red giant and its radiation no longer benefited the populace of Krypton. To circumvent this, leading scientists and biologists began genetically editing their people and the Caste System was born. Kryptonian society mainly places its values on arts, science, military might, and theology, and thus it strictly divides its citizens into the five respective guilds. However, the genetic edits were imperfect, only enabling a recipient to receive some of the abilities they had lost. While every member of Krypton was returned their longevity among other 'lesser' abilities, only those belonging to those caste into the Military GUild, for example, received superhuman strength, flight and heat vision. While those in the Science Guild recieved abilities benefiting them. With this shift in Kryptonian society to a caste system, children were no longer born naturally; instead, parents would donate genetic material that made up the child's physical appearance, while those of the Science Guild would edit the genes for the child's pre-destined role in their caste society. Clark, however, is a naturally born Kryptonian possessing the full potential of an Ancient Kryptonian born under a yellow star. This means compared with other Kryptonians he has near limitless potential in both growth and development and is capable of developing new powers never before seen on Krypton, in part due to his Earth-bound childhood, but also due to his travels to find his home. Due to radiation poisoning experienced during his journey from Krypton, Clark is vulnerable to pieces of his planet dubbed 'Kryptonite', along with materials forged from minerals of his native planet. For instance, a recovered piece of his pod was fashioned into a razor by his adoptive father so Clark could shave. Likewise, Clark is vulnerable to beings of equal or greater strength as well as magic. -

T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... __________________________________________________________________________________ An alien dispatched to Earth under unknown circumstances, Clark Kent arrived in Smallville, Kansas, intertwined in a radioactive meteor shower that razed most of the farming community. Discovered by a local couple, Clark was raised by his loving adoptive parents, Jonathan and Martha Kent from a young boy to a young man. While the circumstances of his adoption were a closely guarded secret, they were not the only signs that Clark was different from a normal boy. From a young age, he showed strength far exceeding his size and speed that actually made it impossible to watch the mischievous toddler without him literally disappearing in the blink of an eye. At the age of sixteen, when Clark experienced his first kiss, he found himself on cloud nine, and not figuratively, as he discovered his ability to fly. With these extraordinary abilities came responsibility, and Jonathan and Martha both worked hard to instill that into Clark. That responsibility kicked in when mysterious happenings around Smallville began to be linked to radiation from the meteors fifteen years earlier. People were waking up with strange abilities and lacking the same guidance the Kents had bestowed upon their adoptive son. Realizing the link between the meteors and these ability-endowed people, Clark took it upon himself to stop them and became something of a local vigilante and dubbed 'The Blur' due to his ability to speed in and out of situations virtually unseen. As Clark reached graduation, the weight of his secret and the lack of knowing where he came from gave him decision paralysis regarding where to move onto next in life. A lengthy discussion with his parents eventually gave way to a gap year. But while most teenagers of Clark's age go backpacking in Europe, Clark has turned his sights towards the stars, determined to discover where he came from and why he was sent to Earth. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) __________________________________________________________________________________ This is a version of Clark that I've never seen told before. A younger iteration, this is a Clark fresh out of Smallville, but where other versions knew they were Kryptonian, or at the very least had the ship to guide them or the crystal to make the Fortress of Solitude, this Clark was found among the wreckage by Jonathan and Martha, but no truth to his actual heritage has ever been known. As such, my story picks up with Clark taking to the stars to figure out who he is. He has a basic grasp on his abilities, and he's done some heroic stuff, earning his local alter ego a place on Chloe's Wall of Weird under the moniker 'the Blur, ' but he's not Superman. He still has a lot to learn both about how to control his abilities and the extent of them. To do so, and to find out who he is and where he came from, Clark is taking to the stars, where I'll explore the themes of the Last Son of Krypton learning about who he is through the eyes and experiences of the galaxy before he ultimately discovers the fate of Krypton and his purpose on Earth.

Woah look at this. A OU game run by someone different, is that allowed?

@Sep

OooOooh, is this illegal?

Ultimate One Universe: Resistance

Wraith's Little Workshop of Horrors

Lundein is one of the most advanced cities in all of Nymh. Situated atop the ruins of a long-forgotten capital, the corpse of the city beneath Lundein has become home to aqueducts and routing of other innovations such as electrical conduit and cables. Industrialization rules this modern city and its streets never sleep. Thanks in part to its electrical lights, which all work to persist through both the night and the day.

Second: I scoured for references to what season it actually is currently in the Northern hemisphere. I found one reference of Summer and two of winter so I went with the later, happy to correct and edit my ending to desnowify the Canadian forest.

@Ezekiel

Working under the assumption that RP time equals the real time, then no, the Acadian Forest would not have snow yet. Canada is still very much in summer for the most part, unless you go much further North, and even then, it's more sparse than at other times of year for snow.

Very Cowboys and Samurai aesthetic

A world built upon the ruins of a world that came before the present and the worlds before it. Cities and towns built upon the ruins of castles, fortresses and more. Anachronistic society, medieval in some aspects, while firearms and electricity coexist alongside magic and blades.

Steampunk aesthetic with airships sailing the sky, while horses race along plains below.

The First Age belonged to the dragons, but they razed the globe in their own arrogance only for the Keeper to wipe them out. In their wake, the Keeper crafted mountains and volcanoes that replaced the mighty dragons.

The Elves ruled the Second Age. The Elves were curious and long-lived, searching the globe, mapping it and building sprawling cities and walls. They began to unlock the secrets of the world and discovered ancient artifacts left behind by the dragons. The Elves were so long-lived that they eventually became the trees of the forest, and so the Keeper was forced to start again.

The Third Age was defined by diversity. Where only a single sentient race occupied the first two ages, the Third Age introduced a new race of Elves who favoured the seas, the mountain-dwelling

The Height of the Fifth Age

Dwarves (Lepus Meles): Incredibly tough skin, ability to turn invisible, resistant to fire and frost. finely-furred skin, horns, long ears and claws. Hoarders, master metal workers. Short to average height in stature with pointed faces and often protruding front teeth or canines.

Elves (Mer): Tall and lean, with pointed spiny ears that flare and move with expression and mood, smooth, finely scaled skin made up of dermal denticles that runs between rubbery to almost leaf-like like depending on the climate. Able to commune with the 'trees'. Retractable elongated canines (snake-like, pop for hunger, anger and arousal), beak-like face with narrow slitted nostrils, sharp features and marble-like complexions. Two pairs of lungs, one for land, one connected to gills, which are located along either side of their ribcages. Spiny fins are located along the back of forearms and calves. Completely hairless and often adorn themselves with clothing and jewelry which mimics the appearance of hair. A completely androgenous species lacking in mammaries, nipples or any obvious genitalia, Elves are synchronous hermaphrodites and function as either sex simultaneously. Elves are incredibly sensitive to changes in the environment.
