Realistic or Modern The Source- Lore

[TheHistorian]

Three years ago a Strange greenish meteor fell to earth in the outback of Australia. The media largely ignored this, even as military agencies from all over the world began to scramble. Eventually this object was transferred to the United states who stashed it in Site X-Grey in the navada desert, the real top secret base of the mojave. Here agents and scientists studied this site. Six scientists came to the site to study the Object, one died, three went insane, and two retired from their fields altogether with one deciding to become a priest.

The facility has maintained containment of the Object for the past three years however it also doubles as an investigation and response team for many of the strange occurances around the globe. These occurrences include Transdimensional incursions, Anomalous Physics conditions, UFO sightings, and oddly enough cults and sorcery. The one common thread is that they all seem to be seeking the Object, which most seem to call “The source” a brief breech in the objects containment resulted in a fundamental change to reality itself, one scientists are still trying to figure out the ramifications of. After that containment breech A few hundred people around the world spontaneously developed Superpowers which seem to fly in the face of physics.

At the urging of the site director agents weee dispatched to deliver messages to these people, who were identified with 100% accuracy via unknown methods. These agents will wait at the peoples local airports to escort them to their flights to Nevada. From there An unmarked government plane will be waiting to transport them to Site X-Gray. The higher ups seem to think they will be brought on as civilian contractors to help with the Anomalous Occurrences, wether or not that is true only the director would know, and they are silent as usual.​

  Race Name: Xin
  
  Planet Age: 793 million years
  
  Averge Lifespan: 600
  
  Homeworld: Taavos Prime V
  
  Climate: Varies
  
  Population: 500 million
  
  Government: Local (Council)
  
  Technology: Highly Advanced
  
  Strengths:
  - High physical traits (strength, durability, speed)
  - Can hack into most technological devices with ease.
  - Can breakdown and understand the mechanics of most objects as long as physical contact is made.
  - Very trustworthy/loyal
  
  Weaknesses:
  - Highly susceptible to EMP based weaponry.
  - Difficulty trusting strangers.
  - Advanced/foreign internal body structure may make it difficult to treat their wounds.
  - Being submerged in large bodies of water for extended period of time, causes damage to their internal structure.
  
  Appearance:
  Humanoid exterior. Interior is all robotic. They have a blue liquid that courses throughout their body that is always electrified even when outside of the body. It is highly dangerous to other races unless they are able to keep themselves from being electrified by one way or another. Some have strange appendages (horns, extra limbs, tail, etc.) coming out from their bodies that is made of pure energy that feels both like a solid yet somehow at the same time a liquid. The appendage differs in color depending on the individual when they are born.

  Little is known about Taavos Prime I aside from the records that are kept by the council on the planet or the history books/holograms that are provided to the public on the planet. All that is openly known to everyone on the planet is that the planet did not always have almost half of shattered the way it is now. The planet teeters in the slight distance of a black hole to the point that it is not affected by the gravitational pull nor is the planet's surface affected too drastically either. There have been rumors among many of the populace that the planet itself is alive due to the fact that even with all the shattered pieces on one side of the planet, none of those shattered pieces have floated off into space and appears to be held to the planet by strange blue tendrils from the core of the planet of which is made by the energy the populace use.

  The people of Taavos Prime are a very difficult bunch of people to get along with at first, they take loyalty and trust to a different level as they tend to find all of their own people as family and anyone from a different planet as outsiders who cannot ever be trusted. While not everyone on the planet knows one another in the sense of family, the fact of being born and raised on the planet makes them trustworthy. Due to this, to arrive on the planet is not as simple as to simply find the planet alone but to be actually invited to land on the planet itself, to be able to find and allowed to land on the planet, a person must have a connection with Xin and have been told the coordinates as well as contacted the council prior to arrival to make sure not to be attacked while attempting a landing.
  
  Even with all the technological advances the planet has, the Xin differ into two different categories; there are the people who tend to stay in the city and take advantage of the technological advances for their everyday life, while there are those who tend to stay outside of the city boundaries and prefer the life as a farmer. Many of those who first land on Taavos Prime tend to believe that the Xin are very closely resembled as humans in many ways until they notice that almost every single person on the planet appears to be robotic in some sort of way or another.
  
  The Xin's internal body are almost completely all robotic, consisting of wires, multiple parts, and a strange blue-ish liquid substance. Some have extra appendages such as horns, tails or even arms, however each of these extra appendages appear to be made of an energy substance that is both a solid yet also strangely liquid-like form. The blue liquid that is within each Xin is extremely dangerous to other beings aside from the Xin themselves due to it being electrified at all times, because of this, it is common for Xin to tend to their own wounds if not requiring those who tend to them to be wearing anything that can nullify the electricity off of themselves.
  
  Because of their belief and importance in trust, family and loyalty, the Xin take their punishments among their own kind very harshly. If a Xin is convicted of a crime against their own people and the crime is at a risk of revealing the location of Taavos Prime to unknown possible threats, then that particular Xin is forced to leave the planet and considered exiled, before their banishment they are given a mark onto their tongue that if they were to speak of knowledge of the Xin and where they live, they are immediately given a beacon placed onto them and hunt down for death.
  Other crimes that are considered more minor are given less severe punishments that range between being 'shut down' in the sense of being putting into a sort of deep sleep and unable to be reawakened until a certain period of time has passed. Other punishments can range between trials of all different types to simple manual labor.

  Unlike with many others who might have one specific leader or may have the people decide, Taavos Prime has a council that consists of about five members whose age has been debated among children and even many other adults for quite some time. These five men and women all have the appearance of very elderly folk yet are able to move and act as though they are still all within their prime. All major decisions that regard the planet, people, cities or any major event is passed through the council. They are the ones who have decided that Taavos Prime is to keep out of contact with other races throughout the universe in the case of Galactic warfare and it would keep their people and planet safe.

  The technology on Taavos Prime is nearly unmatched with many others, almost everything on the planet can be self-automated by inputting a command into it and allowing it to do its job until completed or given a different directive. Other times a Xin can input their own conscious into the machine or whatever they are using to take care of a task on their own as long as their physical body is in a safe position. There are many ways of travel throughout Taavos, there are vehicles that can hover, fly as well as those that use tires as well, some Xin even prefer to have augmentations inputted into their bodies that allow them to run, jump or even fly themselves as long as they have the currency to pay for it.
  
  Weapons used both by the public or even the military range from anything such as guns as well as a range of melee weapons. Unlike most guns however, these do not fire normal bullet projectiles but rather a blue bullet-like projectiles that appear to be made of energy. Most melee weapons have a blue glow around the sharpened or even blunt end that allows for either much more powerful impact strikes if not easier abilities to cut through most substances without struggle.
  
  The blue energy that controls all technology on the entire planet is the same energy of which electrifies the blue liquid inside of every Xin. This energy comes from the center of the planet and is the same energy that can be seen from space throughout all the cracks on the surface. The weapons and vehicles that are used by the Xin never require recharge as long as it is in the hands of a Xin however, if given to another user; once it runs out of energy, the weapon will become useless until handed back to a Xin.

  Due to the fact that the Xin tend to avoid being part of any conflict or interaction with other races, little is known about the military power of Taavos in general. The most that has been seen is that of when a Xin had been exiled from the planet and had spoken up about anything regarding coordinates of the planet or of its people, special forces have arrived and eliminated the exile as well as any others who have had connections to them. These special force units have rarely been seen completing their jobs out in the open and rather have their targets disposed of in secrecy if possible before returning to report their completed mission status.
  
  Aside from this unit, the Xin do have a large military, although they do not openly show their power or let anyone know about them unless needed. The limited few times their military have engaged in battle are when conflict among others had reached their planet forcing them to act for the safety of their own people and planet. This is also the reason for one of the previous Taavos Primes to become what it is now.

  There is one extremely large city on Taavos which is also the capital. Outside of the city there are multiple small villages and homes along a large and lush countryside that has plenty of land for farming. Passed all of this is a forest that appears that go on for what seems like forever that has a mix of bog and swamps inside of the forest itself.
  Eventually, going beyond the forest; the land becomes barren and turns into what seems like a wasteland of nothing but dead trees and cracks that have a blue glow coming out from the ground in several places. The further into the wasteland one goes, the higher the temperature will increase until they reach an end of the floor where one would find a large hole in the planet that leads straight into the core while seeing the massive chunks of ground floating above their heads.
