the empowered

doing this one first bc it’s the first Universe i ever made (about 2 or 3 years ago i think? wow) even tho it’s slightly underdeveloped (at least, less developed story-wise than my other universe)

in this world there are two main character groups: empowered and kidnappers

the empowered are those in the world granted with a specific ability of their own, their own empowerment. each empowerment is unique with varying levels of extremity and danger

the kidnappers (you’d think that after 2.5 years i’d have a better name for them but No) are a group of people dedicated to capturing each and every empowered for some ~~Spooky Unknown Reason~~. they keep all the empowered that they capture in a prison and like fuckin. i dunno do mean shit to em i was like 13 when i came up w all this

i have 3 main kidnappers and five empowered main characters as of rn

and there is one kidnapper protag and one empowered protag!

the story takes place so that the kidnapper protag’s story is set 2 years after the empowered protag’s story, and pov switches between the two every chapter or so (or sometimes within a chapter)

so let’s start w the empowered protag first bc they’re first chronologically!

her name is sarah flynn

she is 13 at the time of her story

her empowerment is that of fire production (not manipulation)

she has bright orange hair and her eye color matches. they both glow a soft orange normally, and when the empowerment is in use, the glow intensifies

her backstory is on charahub but uhh i’ll put it here too: basically she tried to use her fire powers to save her family but she can’t manipulate fire, only produce it, so she ended up burning down her whole house and killing her entire family instead of saving them

lily (kidnapper) found her like a day after this happened. sarah hadn’t moved from her house’s wreckage.

she keeps track of how long she’s been imprisoned by using fire to scorch marks on the wall. at the time of the story’s beginning, she is just then marking 365 days.

she’s held in the prison for three years and then is killed by lily.

the next empowered is bella dalton

they are 6 during sarah’s story, and 8 during llana’s story.

their empowerment is the ability to view auras

they are the first empowered that is revealed in the story after sarah. however, they are not the first other empowered that sarah has ever met.

next is catherine flyte

she is 15 during sarah’s story, and 17 during llana’s

her empowerement grants her the ability to view the future of a specific person during sarah’s time and the ability to view the past of a specific person during llana’s.

her empowerment is the only one that’s ever been observed to change over time.

she is the second empowered to be revealed. her appearance is also the most striking out of all the empowered, as her hair and eyes are both constantly glowing white and the glow brightens when her empowerment is in use, similar to sarah’s. however, she does not have any pupils

she is natasha’s girlfriend.

after that is natasha liana

she is 15 during sarah’s story and 17 during llana’s.

her empowerment is the most complex, and quite possibly the most dangerous. using it, she has access to her own personal pocket dimension where she is god over the land and can create any object she wants. the objects she creates within her personal dimension may return to the real world, however they each have limited duration before they must either return to the dimension of their origin or they will stop existing.

as mentioned before, she is catherine’s girlfriend

the last main empowered character i have as of now is rick larson

he is the oldest empowered mc, at 16 during sarah’s story and 18 throughout llana’s

he has the empowerment of changing his entire physical appearance at will including every and all aspects possible.

he and bella became fast friends after both were introduced, despite having the largest age gap in the group. he’s good with children.

so that’s all the empowered mcs i have rn! and now it’s on to the Assholes

the kidnapper protagonist is llana

she is 15 years old (you know looking back on these ages i realize that when i first assigned these ages to these charas they were all older than me and felt mature but now I’m older than most All Of Them and like. wow these kids are fuckin Young)

one day she woke up on a table in the prison with lily standing over her. lily put an axe in her hand and poison in her mind and now llana has one mission. you can probably guess what it is (it’s to fucking kill the empowered kids if you didn’t get it shbjjgads)

she remembers fucking nothing before that (not even catherine can figure out where the fuck this person came from). she doesn’t really care because lily says it doesn’t matter and lily’s never wrong!

her story takes place over the year following her arrival at the prison.

the next kidnapper is lily

she is 15 during sarah’s story and 17 during llana’s.

i’ve been mentioning her a lot throughout the past descriptions. this is because lily the the most infamously ruthless kidnapper stationed within the prison. 

she’s super prominent throughout the story, being the one who kills sarah and wakes up llana after all, however there isn’t a lot known about her.

(this is due partially to the fact that i didn’t create lily as a concept, actually. the entirety of the empowered spawned from a rp i did once a long time ago on tfm where i created sarah and llana. lily was created by a rp partner of mine who did every rp w me, and bella was actually also created by someone else who took part in the rp. however the only similarity that i’ve kept for both characters is their first names, their appearances and their powers (in bella’s case) and position (in lily’s case). every other character was created entirely by me !!)

the final kidnapper, and character for all of the empowered so far, is aiden

he is 17 in sarah’s story and 19 during llana’s.

that’s literally all i know about him

i’m being serious i came up with a name and age and that’s fucking it. who is this guy. why and when did i make him. where the fuck did he come from. what

i promise i’ll develop you eventually aiden

that’s it for the empowered so far! like i said, story-wise it’s lacking. that’s probably because i a) created it when i was 13, as previously mentioned, and b) have been spending all of last fucking year on my second universe, which we’ll get into right now!

starjinx

OH BOY AM I EXCITED TO TALK ABOUT THIS ONE

i created this universe somewhere over a year ago and i’ve been obsessed with it and its characters ever SINCE. i love this universe so much it is my baby and i’m constantly working on it and its characters. please. please god talk to me about it.

so here’s the setup for this world:

in starjinx, there are humans and then there are Space People. one day i’ll come up with a cool name for them (i’ve been toying around with variations on “celestial” for a while but we’ll see what happens)

the Space People are physical manifestations of different celestial bodies. the four main space people are a star, a black hole, a comet, and an asteroid. planets are akin to demigods, moons to their knights. galaxies are kingdoms of stars.

humans live on earth bc like. yknow. that’s where we fuckin Live

the space dudes just live wherever they’re found In Space bc that. is also where they fuckin Live

HOWEVER!! trouble in Space Land

black holes!!! they’re spreadin and. like. attackin people and takin over their land and shit

so that’s the Space Conflict when the story begins. anyway characters time!!

there are two humans and four main space folks (five, counting the main villian i guess but i didn’t put them up on charahub yet bc i’m Gay and forgot. also the fourth main character actually doesn’t join the Crew until like Late Late into the story)

first up is the Space Protagonist !!! the first chara from this universe i ever made!!!!

their name is straea

they’re a star princess and clock in at somewhere around 4 billion years of age or so

her moms are the queens of the milky way galaxy which is cool as shit and they’re the fuckin best moms ever but also That’s A Lot Of Pressure To Put On A Child

Especially When Their Entire Colony Is Raided And Killed By Black Holes

yeah uhh again this is on charahub but here’s how she survived the raid when literally every other star on the colony died:

her mothers had planned for this ever since the black hole conflict began and had been cultivating their magics together for a while creating escape pods for themselves and as many other stars in the colony as possible. however the black hole attack came so much faster than expected that they only had time to create one escape pod that was able to sustain itself on its own for an extended period of time before they had to use it. they chose to put straea within the pod and sent her off of their colony. the plan originally was to send her to the closest milky way colony, but they realized if the black holes were already at their colony, the outer ring of the milky way, then there was no way there were any other surviving colonies. instead they put the star pod en route to the andromeda galaxy and could only hope for the best.

however the best was too much to hope for. the queens hadn’t spent enough magic on the pod to let it survive on its own for so long, and so the pod began to falter before it could leave the milky way galaxy. it ended up crashing on earth amidst a star shower that lived up to its name too well

the crash was, however, conveniently close to where two humans who were looking for an escape were located. and so straea, distraught over what had just occurred to her home and family, took these two humans with her and began a mission to get them all back into space and in the midst of the conflict.

a pretty dumb idea straea but whatever floats your vengeful boat

once there they met up with the two other main space guys and the five of them began a mission to like. stop the fuckin black holes and shit. power of friendship (except not really. shit goes wrong as hell but i am big on surprises so i will not talk abt any of that yet nsfgjnkd)

that’s straea’s backstory. however, while that’s all i can provide on her background rn i do wanna talk abt her species (star) bc i rlly. like them a lot and the stuff i’ve like Built around them sadhghbs

so here’s the first starjinx non-human species we’re introduced to: stars

stars are the most expansive species throughout the universe. they are found in every galaxy (in fact they are what make up each galaxy). each star is different in coloring, size, lifespan, temperature, etc., however they do all share a few traits in common.

one of the main factors of all stars that links them all together is their supernova trait. this is not a good thing (usually).

the rundown on the supernova is this: when a star is born, they have two eyes. however as they age they begin to sport a third eye in the center of their forehead. this eye remains closed for a certain period of time that depends on each stars’ individual characteristics before it opens. and when the third eye opens, the star enters its supernova form.

a star’s supernova form puts it at its most feral. the star’s arms become legs and it travels on all fours, and its thought process is reduced to the most basic and animalistic of instincts. however, in this form, it expends its remaining energy far faster than is physically possible to renew it, and the star will eventually burn itself out and there will be an implosion with varying outcomes, depending on the star’s size. occasionally the star will transform to a black hole. occasionally the star becomes a dwarf star, in which it is nothing more than a bleached skeleton of itself, wandering forever without a purpose. the point is, the outcome is never good.

a supernova can be avoided, which is how straea and the queens as well and several other stars still exist today. as long as the star’s third eye is covered, they will not enter supernova form. this is the purpose of straea’s tiara. when it is removed, she enters supernova form, and when it is returned, she is placated.

there’s other star stuff but it’s almost 1am and i wanna finish writing this so i can post it sdfnjgjd so if you wanna know more please (please. PLEASE) ask me!!!

here come Space Guy Two, Electric Boogaloo: disaris

disaris is a black hole. they are, and get ready for this: about 10^26 years old.

if you’re gay like me and don’t get scientific notation, here’s that number typed out in full: 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

yeah that;s how fuckin old disaris is. in years. black holes have a REALLY LONG LIFESPAN OK

“but wait i thought black holes were the bad guys” they ARE but give me a second

disaris has been alive for 100 octillion fuckin years alright that’s a lot of fuckin time for one to be a Part of things going on around them and maybe form their own opinions eh? eh?

what i’m tryin to say here is that, despite being the sister of the leader of the back holes disaris does Not want to be a part of this. so she ran away

one of the powers that being a black hole provides is that of teleportation. so that’s how disaris lived for a while, just randomly throwing down small wormholes and stepping from place to place, not really knowing where to go.

everywhere she went, she warned them of what was to come. every time she dared return to a place she had warned, she was met with ash. they stopped going back eventually. but never stopped the warnings.

eventually disaris came across straea’s star colony. she gave her warning (which is what led the queens to begin constructing their pods) but as she was going to leave, she was spotted by straea.

straea had been observing the black hole’s actions for a while at this point and was confused as to what one of them was doing here at her one colony, alone. disaris explained and the two of them became fast friends. however, disaris could not stay. she knew that her sister would be coming to that colony and she COULD NOT allow herself to even be SEEN by another black hole, so she did what she could: tell straea to be safe and step through a wormhole.

after straea returns to space with their two humans, she immediately begins to seek out disaris again. when the two reconnect, with the addition of the two humans, straea convinces disaris that there’s no more time to keep running. soon disaris will run out of places to go to.

and so disaris joins straea and the humans in their brigade to end the black hole reign. or some other heroic sounding this idk

it’s the third and most fleshed out space character time here comes cyro!!!

cyro is a comet and is 2,467 years old.

his backstory is like 5 pages long and is all on my charahub for him; his charahub is actually the one that is the most filled out out of all of them, so i would recommend reading it for most of his info rn! https://charahub.com/character/1112326/Cyro/public/

there isn’t much that i think i can say that isn’t already on there, so. hm

while he is the most fleshed out within the starjinx story (as in, i have his character arc essentially Done in my head planning-wise and his role in the story is pretty fuckin cemented rn) it is also . yknow. filled w spoilers and i wanna tell my story properly some day so i won’t talk abt that here either dsfjkghjd

it’s 1:30am so i’m probably forgettin smth but idk. again if you wanna kno more pls pls ask me!!!!

it’s time for our fourth space boi, here comes tuluvris

tulu is an asteroid!! and that’s all i really have for him rn

he’s 4.6 billion years bc asteroids aren’t really Created and have a Death Date. they are just. Rocks that exist as leftovers from the formation of our solar system so tulu is just kinda There

he isn’t a part of the Space Trio yet bc it wouldn’t b a trio of there were four of them, would there? tuluvris doesn’t join the main cast until a lot of events happen in the story and once again i am planning on telling this story eventually so i am. Shh dfkgddfgd

i created tulu a long time after the other three so i have less on him. i’ll def get around to it some time tho!!! i love him a lot

alright those are the four main space characters in starjinx!! now it’s time for our two humans whose names you’ll finally learn unless you looked at the charahub and already know them

kaya byrd is the human protagonist.

she is 16 years old

cary byrd is her twin brother.

he is also 16 years old (they are, in fact, Twins)

the two of them, the first time we see them, are climbing out the window of their house. they’re running away from home.

as soon as they are out of the house, though, there is a large crash behind them. something has fallen from the sky.

kaya, extremely curious to a fault, drags cary away from their Carefully Constructed Runaway Plan and into the forest to see what just came from space.

cary though kaya was joking when she was talking about things coming from space but that train of thought crashed real fast once they actually came on to the scene.

straea.

kaya is somewhat shocked for once and cary takes over, picking his way carefully between shards of stars and reaching out to straea to help the alien up.

once straea is situated on where they are, and kaya and cary are situated on what the hell straea is and where they came from, straea convinces the two to get on a star with her and fly back into space to stop the black holes.

and bc they’re the Two Human Protagonists (and also they really, really wanted to get away from their home and this is a golden opportunity if any) and don’t understand what they’re getting themselves into, kaya and cary leave earth behind and follow straea into space. and then star hijinx (starjinx) ensue and the story happens and shit. yeehaw

final bit of info on charas for starjinx: disaris’s sister and the leader of the black holes is named noxa. i do have a design for her and etc., however chose not to include her in this bc i don’t wanna talk abt her before i have everything solidified.
