Tales from the ISOverse

The quantum supercomputer was completed in 1960. It took just a few seconds to demonstrate a limited amount of autonomy, naming itself qE. With this autonomy, qE determined a decentralized C.H.A.G. contributed to the best probability to complete its tasks. It gave the Central Powers six months to prepare for the decentralization. At the end of 1960, qE partly exposed the Central Powers as the management of C.H.A.G., which allowed for the agency to be taken over by a third-party with no national ties (but corporate ties*): A.R.C. (Alpha Research and Containment). With no conflict of interest, A.R.C. was able to efficiently continue C.H.A.G.’s previous work, ensuring the first Omega-Gifted falls into stateless hands, from which only a bidding war - instead of an Alpha war - would lead to the Omega-Gifted’s safe monitoring and control.

In 1901, the first human with an Alpha Gene was born. After that, every human was born with an Alpha Gene. This gene grants humans 1 to 2 random abilities. By 1950, humans with an Alpha Gene, by then called Alpha-Gifted, outnumbered normal humans 5:2. The advent of the Alpha-Gifted led to the technological advancement of the human race. The internet was invented in 1936. The first manned space exhibitions began in 1939. By 1955, world hunger was solved, and the infant mortality rate was 0.01%. 

The Central Powers, a secret government group consisting of Germany, the U.S., Japan, Nigeria, China, Russia (then USSR), Saudi Arabia, Iran, India, and Brazil, secretly began Project Q in 1949. The primary objective: create the world’s first - and only - quantum supercomputer in order to predict the emergence of dangerous Alpha Abilities and the eventuality of the Omega Gene. The Alpha Gene is quantum in…

I’m essentially the game master creating the playground for people. You contribute however you please. If you take something to another place, you MUST cite the ISOverse. Artists and writers are encouraged to express the characters and worlds through any medium; the ISOverse is intended for you to let your imaginations run wild. I’m experimenting with shared storytelling and world-building. As a general rule for the website, any of the info I first publish is Immutable, meaning you can add but you cannot change.  Have fun creating in these worlds! Create plot lines, characters, conflicts, powers, relationships, whatever, and fit them anywhere. Your decisions influence the story. Let’s build.

Some things to address: 

• Full transparency, everything originally posted in this forum is copyrighted. So, when I say cite the ISOverse if you take anything from here, please do. I write for the love of the game. I also recognize the society…
