Neo-Terra

Neo-Terra

A planet where humanity has achieved unimaginable technological advances and genetic engineering has opened the door to the creation of individuals with superhuman abilities. Despite the potential for chaos, order is maintained thanks to a delicate political balance and two opposing but necessary organizations.

1. Natural Humans (NH):

Non-genetically modified people.

They make up 72% of the world's population.

They are dedicated to civil activities, commerce, politics, science, art and defense.

Many are wary of superhumans, although they recognize their usefulness.

2. Altered Humans (HA):

Individuals born or modified to possess superpowers: superhuman strength, energy manipulation, telepathy, accelerated healing, etc.

They represent 28% of the population.

They are required to maintain a global record and undergo periodic assessments of their skills.

Some are born with powers naturally due to hereditary mutations from past generations.

1. Helvoria (Boreal Continent)

Capital: Aurealis

Political system: Parliamentary Techno-Republic.

Culture: A blend of pragmatism and art. Famous for its floating architecture and clean energy.

Economy: Based on nanotechnology, biomedicine and the development of artificial intelligence.

Relationship with superhumans: Considered "strategic assets." Helvoria regulates their use for national defense and supports their scientific education.

2. Kytheron (Equatorial Archipelago)

Capital: Nephra Prime

Political system: Hybrid democracy with influential corporations.

Culture: Cosmopolitan and commercial, with vertical cities and aerospace ports.

Economy: They dominate intercontinental trade, quantum transportation industries, and automated financial markets.

Relationship with superhumans: They value their use in civilian and rescue tasks. They focus on integrating HAs into society to maintain economic stability.

3. Dravania (Southern Continent)

Capital: Fortis Magna

Political system: Federal Republic with military tradition.

Culture: Strong sense of discipline, honor and self-sufficiency.

Economy: Military power, export of advanced mechatronics and aerospace development.

Relationship with superhumans: Despite world peace, Dravania invests in anti-superhuman weapons to prevent threats.

Name: ARGO (Agency for Global Regulation and Operations)

Objective: Control, neutralize and stop hostile superhumans.

Central base: Aurealis, Helvoria, with stations in the other countries.

Technology:

Exo-Sentinel Armor: Combat suits with active camouflage, enhanced strength, and energy shields.

Plasma weapons and modulated beams: Can temporarily weaken or suppress superhuman abilities.

Interceptor drones: Used for remote reconnaissance and containment.

Doctrine: "Peace through control."

Name: Zenith Order

Objective: To educate and train HAs to become protectors and defenders of world peace.

Central Base: Star Summit, Kytheron, a facility suspended in the stratosphere.

Training:

Control of powers and ethics.

Hand-to-hand combat and rescue tactics.

Use of light armor and global communication systems.

Philosophy: "Power with purpose, strength with wisdom."

Non-affiliation: They maintain political neutrality and do not respond to ARGO, although they collaborate in international emergencies.

There is a fragile but stable global peace, supported by technological cooperation and diplomatic agreements.

HN and HA coexist, but social tensions persist.

ARGO and the Zenith Order operate in parallel, with different ideologies:

ARGO: Control through force and surveillance.

Zenith: Education and self-regulation of superhumans.

The big fear: If a powerful HA rebels and both systems fail at the same time, peace could collapse.
