The One Thousand

Q
QueenOfHeavens

Apocalypse averted? But at what cost. Teens awaken with powers, facing a new world of mutant beasts.


Author's Note: Your story begins at what everyone largely saw as the end of the world. There was a bright flash that lit up the night sky like day as thousands of missiles to save humanity collided with a ginormous asteroid entering our atmosphere. You wake up two years later and find out that the crisis was averted, but a new crisis of similar proportions was created. The asteroid was carrying a never-before-seen element, mixed with earth's radiation. It caused genetic mutations wiping out most of humanity and put every other living being in hibernation for two years. For starters all adults are dead, only a thousand people under 18 survived globally, and the thousand of you that survived, wake up with unique powers. The only problem is that you're not the only ones that same phenomenon gave powers, it also mutated all other organisms and they were also in hibernation for as long as you are, leaving them ravenous. Will you focus on Survival, Rebuilding, or Uniting with others to face new threats? Will you seek a Cure to reverse mutations and restore the planet? Or navigate Moral Choices? Uncover Hidden Powers or establish a Safe Haven. Whatever you do, a mysterious entity is watching you.. For realistic immersion when creating a character, I recommend using a 1-100 random number generator to get your class. 1-70 = Basic, 71-90 = Superior, 91-98 = Dragon, 99 = God, and 100 = Titan. Primordial Class is left out as its an intentional power fantasy class vs simply accidently being powerful like Titan and God Class.

Description

Mammoth Cave is a 500-meter-wide underground system filled with dramatic stalactites, stalagmites, and bioluminescent fungi that illuminate the crystalline Lumenites. Accessible through Mammoth Park Cave Entrance, this hidden ecosystem hosts a society of silicon-based beings. Origin & Evolution Formed from the energy released by an unknown element, Lumenites evolved as sentient crystalline structures. Key Traits Communication: Light pulses create color displays Abilities: Energy absorption/redirection, radiation management Society Their culture emphasizes energy preservation and resonance-based networks, where information is shared through light. Surface Interactions When 1,000 superhumans awaken post-apocalypse, the Lumenites show curiosity. Light-based communication sparks potential alliances or conflicts. Ecological Impact As energy regulators, Lumenites can help stabilize radiation zones, offering a fascinating counterpoint to humanity.
