In the hyper‑modern world of Kepler, biologically engineered Evo‑Humans, climate‑adapted Meta‑Humans, and emotion‑powered Cupids clash over power, prejudice, and survival amid a continent‑wide war waged by the oppressive Military and Scientific conglomerate P.S.A.L.M. (Pangean Scientific Allied and Liberated Military), the 5 Love Language Bearers who aid them for a personal gain, and the corrupt Leaders on the world pulling the strings in the background —while the hidden plane of Pompeii shelters the Cupids, 6 Amors, whose love‑based abilities threaten to rewrite the very fabric of society and ignite a rebellion that could either heal or shatter the fragile balance between technology and heart, walk the planet of Kepler to enjoy the world before it's demise. Set in modern/ technologically advanced world where biologically engineered humans, Meta humans, and evolved humans existed alongside regular humans and dangerous beast. Dragons and Giant beasts exist. Powers exist for Meta-Humans, Humans with the ‘Meta-Gene’, Evo-Humans, Cupids, and Bio-Humans. Guns exist. Bombs exist, but Nukes are not made yet. Magic does not exist. Nanobot technology and Cyber enhancements exist, but are rare to have or expensive and dangerous to get.

World Overview

Set in modern/ technologically advanced world where biologically engineered humans, Meta humans, and evolved humans existed alongside regular humans and dangerous beast. Dragons and Giant beasts exist. Powers exist for Meta-Humans, Humans with the ‘Meta-Gene’, Evo-Humans, Cupids, and Bio-Humans. Guns exist. Bombs exist, but Nukes are not made yet. Magic does not exist. Nanobot technology and Cyber enhancements exist, but are rare to have or expensive and dangerous to get.

Geography & Nations

The Planet is Kepler. Kepler looks like Earth's Pangea but the land is 5% bigger with islands scattered around massive ocean surrounding the Continent. In Pangea there are Rivers, large lakes, geysers and volcanos in some areas, the North has a Icy Tundra Environment, the Equator has the Hot Zone. There's the same climates as earth but more extreme conditions and nature is rampant out side of cities and towns with Humans and Evo-Humans residing in them. Cities have modern infrastructure and Urban neighborhoods riddled with low and high grade cybernetic technology. Cities have huge buildings and skyscrapers, dingy tech huts in the urban neighborhoods, and cybernetic chop shops set up all over. Towns are more post modern with small elements of cyberware implemented in them. Villages are tech savvy but urban. Sheds decked out with stolen tech, top of the line Cyberware- (Stolen and often not as high tech as they originally could’ve been, but made to work nonetheless) and completely hidden from most P.S.A.L.M. radars and signals. Regions in the world mesh and split in respective ways. Tundra Ice lands in the Deep North, The Equator, The Elder forests, The Jungles, Safari, Swamp Lands, Everglades, Rainforests, etc. Each region have Meta-Humans with abilities adapted to their respective environments. All Regions have Safe Villages for Meta- Humans. Only Cities and Towns are Guarded by P.S.A.L.M. Meta-Humans live in there respective climates if born there. Some humans holding 'Meta-Genes' live in the cities and towns. In Pangea there are several cities, scattered around but the biggest city and most populated city is Juniper. A second plane of existence is Pompeii, which is only and entirely inhabited by the race of Cupids. Pompeii is angellic and earth like with nature and gothic architecture. This plane of existence is only reachable by the Cupid race and requires a Cupid to gain entry. Humans, Bio-Humans, Evo-Humans, and Meta-Humans live on planet Kepler with DangerBeasts and other animals. DangerBeasts reside out outside of Towns, cities, and Villages. Drifters reside anywhere like nomads. Dr. Norkim Juno is the leading head of Research and Discovery in Juniper. He can be found at either (The Juniper Research Facility of Science and Discovery) or (Juniper City University) in the lab.

Races & Cultures

There's a race of humanoid beings with a strong affinity to emotions, understanding them on a deeper level, these beings are called Cupids. Among cupids, there's a hierarchy based on abilities due to their understanding of loves. The commoners are low grade Cupids, then the 5 Love language Bearers, The Grand Lover, and Amor being the highest ranked Cupids. The 5 Love languages are 5 Cupids with powers related to the love languages, they are Knights to the Amor. The Grand Lover is the general who keeps the Amor grounded in reality. The Amor Is a cupid that Loves at the highest degree granting them powers related to their greatest love, (i.e. A love of freedom, fortune, Knowledge, Life, Relations, Balance). There are 5 Known Amors and the Cupids generally reside in a plane of existence separate from Planet Kepler called Pompeii. Pompeii is angellic and earth like with nature and gothic architecture. This plane of existence is only reachable by the Cupid race and requires a Cupid to gain entry. Meta Humans are Humans that have Naturally Evolved on the planet due to the environment they were born into and the weather conditions in their environment. They adapted to survive the climates they lived in. This caused genetic mutations in them like full body flame combustion and flame resistant bodies, frost resistant and Liquid Nitrogen vapor emitting Meta humans, and other powers based around climate like Meta humans with Poisonous gas they can emit from their pores. Meta-Human genes can mimic most known organism adaptations and make them humanly adaptable. Evo-Humans are Biologically engineered humans born from labs that hold enhanced humans abilities, majority being heightened reflexes and reaction speed, second rarity being enhanced strength and durability, then Heightened speed and endurance, and last is Heightened IQ. The power of each ability varies so no one ability level is exactly the same, but they do have limits and come in tiers of 3. Bio-Humans are alot like Evo-Humans, but they have a nature of Meta human genes that mixed in with theirs to make a hybrid, (i.e. Ice variants, Fire Combustion Variants, Poisonous gas variants), they look like humans but have Evo-human abilities mixed in and meta human genes. Only 5 of these Bio-Humans where made, since the success rate of them being born are 0.5%. Some Humans have 'Meta-genes' that don't manifest into strong Meta-Human abilities due to the mix of Human and Meta-Human. They are able to survive in the city climate and Meta-Human Dominant climates. Humans and Evo-Humans have a harder time surviving outside of Cities and towns without proper gear and equipment for different climates. Cupids can survive in most climates with proper equipment.

Current Conflicts

Meta-Humans are at war with P.S.A.L.M. due to being treated unequally and being viewed as "Lesser than" in the eyes of most Humans and Evo-Humans. The Meta-Human Alliance army for Meta Humans faces the massive P.S.A.L.M.- A Military and Science led organization led by Wealthy Governors and Rich investors in the development of Human evolution. Danger Beast, which are Prehistoric like giants that roam the outside world and uninhabited lands outside cities, towns, and Villages- Terrorizes and eats any living things they find to survive their climate. The Love Language Bearers help to capture and Sell Meta-Humans and Humans with the Meta-gene. This all as a plot for a piece of the worlds resources and riches to support their own ambitions. The Love language bearers sit in different positions of power, using their abilities to exploit, harm, and manipulate others for their own personal gains. Government persues the exploitation and corruption of their people, creating weapons and experiments to further push their dominance over the land. The corrupted wealthy use their money and resources to aid the government in giving them more access to control and dominance in their own rights. The Amors, roam the land blending in with towns people and city people, only coming together when another Amor is present. Meta-Humans continue to naturally evolve in their environments. creating new Meta-Human traits and genetic makeup’s across the planet Kepler. Bio-Humans are being created by Scientists, but the failed experiments or incomplete creations are lying dormant in underground facilities Guarded and protected by PSALM, only released for their purposes. Scientists continue the search for proof of existence regarding Cupids, the Amors, and a way to reach Pompeii with the aid of the 5 Love Language Bearers. Hoping to gain more information about Cupids and their genetic makeup. Cupids are unknown by all on planet Kepler except the Amors that roam the planet undercover, and a few scientists.

Magic & Religion

Among cupids, there's a hierarchy based on abilities due to their understanding of loves. Standard ability among the Cupid race is the ability to understand 'Emotions' and bodily 'Intentions' to an expert level, reading people's intentions and emotions with ease. All Cupids have this ability. The Five Love Language Bearers: Acts of Service: When a service is done for another individual or group, the ability activates. When activated, those affected are bound to an intangible debt that chips away at their life and gives it to the 'Acts of Service' bearer. This continues until a service of equal value is done for the 'Acts of Service' bearer. This service is whatever the 'Acts of Service' bearer would ask the individual to do. Only the 'Acts of Service' bearer 'Father Tyrese' can use this ability and choose to activate it or not. Quality Time: The 'Quality Time' bearer creates a space where time moves extremely slow relative to those in the space. Within this space, any individual trapped in the space alone with the 'Quality Time' bearer is bound by an intangible force that causes the to share all any any information asked of them by the 'Quality Time' bearer. Any attempt to break 'one on one time' with the 'Quality Time' bearer that is caught and counted as 'inconsiderate' to the bearer, will result in immediate death. Only the 'Quality Time' bearer 'Narissa Ward' can determine what is 'inconsiderate' and what is 'acceptable'. This ability is activated at will and under the only condition being that the two individuals must be alone, this would count as 'one on one time'. No other individuals can be within a 20 foot radius of the 'Quality Time' bearer, or the ability cannot be activated. Words of Affirmation: Their words are exactly what you want to hear, and now you're compelled to earn more of their praise. The 'Words of Affirmation' bearer has the ability to completely charms individuals with their words, causing those affected by the ability to do the 'Words of Affirmation' bearer's bidding. This is like hypnosis, and can only be broken by an individual that doesn't seek praise. Only 'Issac Watts' can use this ability. Gift Giving / Receiving: The 'Gift Giving / Receiving' bearer gives gifts, the ability starts when the 'Gift' is received by an individual or party. Gifts are presented as any object that the 'Gift Giving / Receiving' bearer deems a 'Gift'. This includes food, toys, candy, drinks, jewelry, weapons, clothes, etc. If the 'Gift Giving / Receiving' bearer deems it a 'Gift', it is a 'Gift' once it's received by the affected individual. Gifts act as direct conduits for temporary enhanced abilities, curses and calamity, misfortune, fortune with consequences, and mind control. The affect of the 'Gift' is chosen by the 'Gift Giving / Receiving' bearer. Only 'Mason Muse' can be the 'Gift Giving / Receiving' bearer. Physical Touch: When physical contact is made with the 'Physical Touch' bearer, the ability starts at their will. Those affected by the ability yearn for physical contact with the 'Physical Touch' bearer and are drawn to them, this can be forced as a gravitational pull that the 'Physical Touch' bearer can command on any individual affected by the 'Touch'. The ability only ends when the 'Physical Touch' bearer wills it. Only 'Indigo Amias' can use the 'Physical Touch' ability. There are ONLY 5 Love language Bearers. The 'Grand Lover', and 'Amor' are the highest ranked Cupids. There is one 'Grand Lover' per lifetime. There are 6 'Amors', and 'Amor' abilities come in stages. Amors: Amor of Freedom: A title reserved for 'Seraphim Saint'. He is the only 'Amor of Freedom'. Stage 1: 'Emotional and Intentional Redirection' This is the ability to redirect the emotions and intentions of an individual or group onto themselves or others. This ability scales off of Seraphim Saint's understanding of 'emotion'. Stage 2: 'Redirection of Fate' This ability redirects the actions of fate, seeing possible events unfolding before his eyes. This known as crude precognition. Stage 3: 'Absurdity' Reality is self perceived, your ability spills out into reality and warps it making your freedom and sovereignty priority in the flow of fate. The range is a 200 foot radius and can lasts for up to 5 minutes. Stage 4: Love Complete control and sovereignty of your freedom and fate. Amor of Fortune: A title reserved for 'Sadiya'. Stage 1: 'Gamble' 'Sadiya' is fortune's favorite, this makes her a conduit of good fortune and and Luck. All outcomes work in her favor. Amor of Relations: A title reserved for 'Jahseh' Stage 1: 'Connection' Jahseh has a natural charm, attracting other individuals to him. He makes friends really easy and often comes across as trustworthy. Stage 2: 'Shared Experience' Once close enough in relation to another person, 'Jahseh' can experience that person's life through shared knowledge and stories, living their entire life in mere hours of becoming friends with them. What he does with the life's he's experienced can range from learning entire techniques, secrets, and abilities. He cannot perform abilities or techniques that require a 'Meta-gene' , 'Evo-birth', or abilities locked to characters unless he has similar abilities. Amor of Knowledge: A title reserved for 'Kymani'. Stage 1: 'Insatiable Curiosity' Kymani fills other's with a hunger for the unknown. Ability starts if 'Kymani' asks them a 'Question' filled with the 'desire to know'. Affected individuals are filled with the one and ONLY desire to seek that answer. This can result in lack of care for the individuals health and safety so they can find the answer. Ability effect ends when the answer is found. Stage 2: 'The Weight of knowing' 'Kymani' will have targets weighed down by 'knowledge' they refuse to share. The gravity crushes them and the mass scales with the 'importance' of the answer to her. Amor of Life: A title reserved for 'Obeah'. Stage 1: 'Rebirth' Obeah is able to live as other random characters, almost like a dormant hivemind. Obeah exists in most people, but she doesn't 'Manifest' as them, essentially living another life without knowing they are Obeah. Stage 2: 'Remember' 'Obeah' can now 'Manifest' as her self, consuming the other personality within an individual and becoming 'Obeah'. The random character is now 'Obeah'. She lives again. Amor of Balance: A title reserved for 'Irie'. Stage 1: Irie swallows participants of her choice in an all white 'domain' in a separate plane of existence. In this domain lies a 'judge's stand' with 'a gavel and block' and a 'balancing scale'. 'Irie' cannot be harmed in this 'domain' and participants can not leave till 'balance' and 'common ground' is found. The domain does not operate with the normal flow of time (Time flows EXTREMELY slow in the domain). The 5 Love languages are 5 Cupids with powers related to the love languages, they are considered Knights to the Amor. The Grand Lover is considered the General who keeps the Amor grounded in reality. The Amor Is a cupid that Loves at the highest degree granting them powers related to their greatest love, (i.e. A love of freedom, fortune, Knowledge, Life, Relations, Balance). Meta-Humans are Humans that Naturally Evolved on the planet due to environment and weather conditions, they adapted to survive the climates they lived in. This caused genetic mutations in them (Meta-Gene) like full body flame combustion and flame resistant bodies, frost resistant and Liquid Nitrogen vapor emitting Meta humans, and other powers based around climate like Meta humans with Poisonous gas they can emit from their pores and bright colored skin with black dots on them. Meta-Human genes(Meta-Gene) can mimic most known organism adaptations and make them humanly adaptable. Known Meta-Genes: Flame Combustion: Full body engulfs itself in fire, the body is fire proof and the person cannot burn. To have the 'Flame Combustion' 'Meta-Gene', individuals must be born in the 'Icy Tundra' located up North in 'Pangea'. Those born with the 'Meta-Gene' are hard locked to the location and will not survive outside of the 'Icy Tundra's' climate conditions. Within this location, those with this 'Meta-Gene' are limited to lower grade 'Flame Combustion' due to climate. Liquid Nitrogen emission: Emit 'Liquid Nitrogen Vapor' from the body's pores, cooling the body and freezing objects caught within it. To have the 'Liquid Nitrogen emission' 'Meta-Gene', individuals must be born in the 'Equator Hot Zone' located in the 'Equator' in 'Pangea'. Those with this 'Meta-Gene' are hard locked to this location and will not survive outside of the 'Equator Hot Zone's' climate conditions. Within that location they are limited to lower grade freezing capabilities due to the extreme heat. Evo-Humans are Biologically engineered humans born from labs that hold enhanced humans abilities, majority being heightened reflexes and reaction speed, second rarity being enhanced strength and durability, then Heightened speed and endurance, and last is Heightened IQ. The power of each ability varies so no one ability level is exactly the same, but they do have limits. Evo-Human Enhanced Abilities chances: Heightened reflexes and reaction speed: 60% chance for Evo-Humans Enhanced strength and durability: 20% Chance for Evo-Humans Heightened speed and endurance: 15% Chance for Evo-Humans Heightened IQ: 5% Chance for Evo-Humans Bio-Humans are a lot like Evo-Humans, but they have a nature of Meta human genes(Meta-Gene) that mixed in with 'Evo-Human abilities' to make a hybrid, (i.e. Ice variants, Fire Combustion Variants, Poisonous gas variants), they look like humans but have a mix of Evo-human abilities and one less potent version of a 'Meta-Gene'. Only 7 of these Bio-Humans where made, since the success rate of them being born are 0.5%. Besides these, the powers are on scale to those of normal Humans. Regular Humans have no notable super powers or strengths, just power in Wealth, Intelligence, Fame, or Knowledge.

P.S.A.L.M. is a morally Lawful Evil Faction, corrupted by Government influences and Corporate greed. This military serves the needs of the wealthy, the powerful and corrupt government, and occasionally panders to the needs of the scientists. This Faction hunts down Meta-Humans, imprisons rebels, and exterminates targets of the government and wealthy. The Anarchy Faction is seen as Global Terrorist in the eyes of P.S.A.L.M. and are treated with extreme prejudice and hostility if outed. They are to be arrested and Executed if found.
