WORLD INFO

[powersthatbe]

In the world of Chikyuumaru—one of two official names for a planet more commonly called Earth—for the past several generations, people have been finding ways to cope with the mutagenic epidemic called X-Pressure. X-Pressure is unique in that it makes the body more like the mind in unprecedented ways, and over time, the stigma of infection has faded, and people have adapted to the unique abilities left in its wake.

Among the most common strains of X-Pressure are Audiocaudal Syndrome - developing animalistic ears and tail - and Ganymede Syndrome - the acceleration or regression of aging processes to leave an individual with a physical & hormonal maturity typical for those between 14 & 18 years old. Slightly less common are Tiresias Syndome--involuntary transformations in response to a specfic stimulus such as hugs, hot water, stress, or quacking sounds, which are mostly cross-sex but are sometimes cross-species--and Doppleganger Syndrome--the transformation into whoever you are most associated with in the moment.

But it’s not all bad. A large percentage of people are naturally immune to X-Pressure, and even those affected can lead normal lives - in fact, there are advantages. Social Techniques, or S.Tech, have long been recognized as a powerful advantage in business, politics, romance, and entertainment, but many X-Pressure carriers have a heightened grasp of S.Tech, becoming true adepts, able to use words and gestures to convey their message by manifesting glitter, or hearts, or flower petals, changing the weather around themselves, or in a variety of other ways.

More information about S.Tech and X-Pressure strains can be found here.
