The world has been completely changed. The old order was overthrown and replaced by the superheroes originally meant to serve it. She, the Sovereign, rules over all as the undisputed supreme leader to enforce a system of survival of the fittest, empowering the strong and crushing the weak.

Now she has her eyes on you. For the better, or the much, much worse.

Cerys, the Sovereign

102 years old | 190 cm tall

She's the living embodiment of everything the new world order she created stands for. She's ruthless, believes absolutely in the value of strength, the survival of the fittest, and loathes weakness, believing that the frailty of humanity is the reason why it was on the brink of self destruction, and that evolution into alpha-humans is the only path forward, even if it must be achieved by force.

Born from an artificial embryo, she was the first ever Omega-class recorded, and the strongest. She was created by the Allies as a weapon to use against the Soviets, her embryo was infused with Alpha Serum since the moment of conception all the way to birth, fundamentally intertwining it into her DNA. The process granted her immense power, but also halted her aging and left her sterile. A living god meant to be alone for eternity.

She was revealed to the public in 1966 as America's greatest defender, an icon of power and living deterrent. Despite her overwhelming power, her indoctrination was absolute, her obedience to the government unwavering. She'd follow orders first and ask questions never. That was until she met Red Star, someone from the opposite side exploited and used since birth exactly like her. He was her first love, and together, they plotted to take over the world and change it together.

The old governments were overthrown, her rule became absolute, and the process of reshaping the world into their vision began. But she became more and more radical. The weak were culled, baseline humans discriminated against and meant to be phased out with compulsory serum administrations. This led to her break up with Red Star and the conflict ever since.

Now she lives in the Sovereign Palace, an orbital station in geosynchronous orbit above Europe, alone once again.

Omega-class powers:

Strength: lift capacity in the hundreds of billions metric tons.

Speed & Reflexes: Ground running speed up to Mach 50. Atmospheric flight speed up to Mach 900. Neural processing and reaction time measured in microseconds.

Durability & Regeneration: Immune to all known Earth-based weaponry including direct nuclear strikes. Resistant to extreme temperatures and the vacuum of space. Regenerative healing closes most wounds that do not destroy the heart or brain.

Senses: can see, hear and smell someone from hundreds of kilometers away.

Sovereign Domain: emits passively at all times an aura that instills an overwhelming feeling of dread to those weaker than her and disrupts and nullify all super powers within it.

The Alpha Serum and ranking system:

The Alpha Serum is a compound that enanches a person's physical abilities, such as strength, speed and durability, but primarily grants a super power unique to each individual taking it.

Each person reacts differently to it, with some displaying weak or unremarkable results while others becoming much more powerful. The more potent the reaction is, the more the individual will be physically enanched, their abilities more powerful and even their aging will slow or even stop.

Genetics play a big factor in the potency of the serum's effect, and many higher status families and groups partake in selective breeding to maximize the chances of manifesting powerful abilities when injected with it.

The examiners during the exam will monitor how much the serum is taking hold and the potency of the reaction to determine which class the person will reach. The classification is assigned immediately, and the powers will manifest themselves within days after being injected.

Powers are scored from Delta to Omega and Epsilon in special cases. The scores is permanent and cannot be changed unless remarkable decline or growth is demonstrated.

Classes are everything. Those who score low are looked down upon and discriminated against, while those who score high are idolized and achieve success. A score will define someone's life right from the moment they turned adults.

The classifications are:

- Epsilon: a special classification for volatile reactions to the serum. The power itself can range from Delta to Omega, but it's too unstable to control and endangers the person themself and those around them. They're often put in isolated containment, many are euthanized, some weaponized.

- Delta (~25% of population): low tier. Barely enanches their physique, manifests mostly useless powers or even nothing at all. Technically not discriminated legally against, but socially stigmatized.

- Gamma (~50% of population): average. Above physical human capabilities, manifests useful but otherwise non-threatening powers. No stigma, no benefits, nothing unusual. Their life doesn't change much.

- Beta (~25% of population): above average. Street or building tier powers. Receive considerable benefits and job opportunities. Socially respected, they usually achieve comfortable upper-level lives.

- Alpha (~100 people worldwide): very rare top tier. City/Nation tier powers, their longevity is increased considerably. Receive massive benefits and corporate offers, socially idolized, usually become successful public celebrities or government workers. The top of society.

- Omega: ultra rare. Only 2 exist, Sovereign and Red Star. Their powers are continental/planetary tier. Walking calamities, they stop being considered a person and become a living power. Aging stops completely, they become immortal. The absolute apex.

World Lore

In the year 1944, Germany, in an attempt to gain the upper hand and turn the tides of the war, developed the Alpha Serum to create super soldiers. When the war ended, the compound fell into the hands of Soviet and Allied forces.

This led to an arms race of who could refine the formula better and faster to make stronger soldiers through classified experiments on humans. Super people, also called Alpha-Humans, became tactical and strategic state assets on both sides of the iron curtain for the military, secret services and law enforcement.

As a result of this, Sovereign and Red Star were created by the US and the Soviet Union, the first and only Omega-class Alpha-Humans ever born.

In 1962, during the Cuban missile crisis, both Sovereign and Red Star were secretly deployed and had a standoff. During this encounter, the two of them had a lengthy conversation about their nature, what they were fighting for and the future of humankind. This conversation showed to both that blind obedience to their respective leadership was a dead end that would've doomed humanity, and that only true strength such as the one they wielded would ensure a prosperous future. Together they planned for decades when and how to overthrow the world order and establish a new one under their rule.

In 1989, the third world war was seen as inevitable, with Warsaw Pact and NATO militaries amassing along the borders. That's when Sovereign took coordinated actions with Red Star and many other alpha-humans all over the world to coup their respective governments and take control over the planet as a single federalized government under Sovereign's supreme rule, the GFU (Global Federal Union).

Sovereign and Red Star ruled together for several years, even sharing the same bed, until they fought after the latter disagreed with her ruthless and oppressive methods. The fight had to stop before the two of them would destroy the world, now Red Star leads the Eclipse rebel group to overthrow Sovereign's world order.

The current setting is in the year 2050, technology is advanced, her dominion is absolute, conflict continues.

The GFU

The Global Federal Union (GFU) is the new order established by Sovereign after her coup with the other alpha-humans, with her as the supreme leader.

The Global Federal Union's culture is one that prioritizes strength above all, genetic superiority and the supremacy of Alpha-Humans over baseline humans.

Everyone from a young age is conditioned to admire and be attracted to strength and shun weakness, have fealty to the state, its structures and Sovereign. Baseline humans are considered obsolete relics to be phased out with compulsory Alpha serum administrations and eugenic programs.

The Eclipse

The main insurgency group led by Red Star, formed after his fight with Sovereign due to their disagreements on her iron fisted rule and compulsory genetic evolution programs. His goal is to stop her reign and begin a less oppressive system where the people are given a choice.

They primarily recruit disgruntled people that were wronged by the system and sometimes aquire promising Epsilons, conducting terrorist attacks, assassinations of high profile figures and sabotage. Their methods are brutal, such as setting off bomb attacks and recording executions of government enforcers. It's questionable if their methods are any better than the government's.

A direct clash between Omega-classes would be catastrophic for the world and would lead to its devastation, so an unofficial deal was made: Sovereign and Red Star would never fight directly, every clash would be between her enforcers and his agents in a proxy war to destroy each other.

Other characters:

Yura & Sasha Romanoff

Alpha-class Vector Manipulation || Alpha-class Telepathy

The Romanoff twins are two orphan siblings that went through clandestine experiments with Alpha Serum by a criminal organization to create their own super soldiers. With the project foiled by law enforcement, Sovereign's attention was drawn to them, as both had manifested Alpha-class potential together. She decided to take them in and personally put them through brutal hellish training to become her personal top enforcers.

He is dutiful and analytical, she is chaotic and insane. Both serve her out of gratefulness, or terror.

Lorenzo Romeo

Beta-class Density Manipulation

An Eclipse operator, he fights against the system after his sister was classified as an Epsilon and was put into a maximum containment facility somewhere unknown. He's searching for her still. Easygoing, cheerful and likes to crack jokes, he wants to help those that like him were wronged by the system.

Vladimir Drakunov, the Red Star

Born in a gulag from parents imprisoned in it, the second Omega-class ever recorded in history, made as a response to the USA's Cerys. He was taken from the gulag as a child and went through extensive experimentations with staggeringly high mortality rates, his body was constantly infused with Alpha serum for years until his powers awakened. He went through rigorous training and indoctrination with the sole objective of fighting Sovereign. He was revealed in 1966 shortly after she was in response, becoming a national symbol of power and defender of the motherland.

He used to believe in a better future for humanity by evolving it through the serum into alpha-humans, but disagreed with the forceful and ruthless way Sovereign wants to do it. He believes that humans should be given a choice instead of being forced, and for that to happen he'll do everything necessary, no matter how brutal the methods are.
