NEXT: PART 2
Zenith Lore on non-SR2 site link
SECTION ONE: Kaboomies
So... it all started. The Big Bang. Some 14 billion years ago. Nobody needs to explain. Then other things came and went. Stuff formed into more stuff, and that formed into even more and better stuff. Stars. Planets. Moons. You name it. But, there's one thing off...
The Black Vortex.
It seems to be a sentient, small, swirling... thing. It's not a black hole, even if it does look like one with its dark interior and white spirals with a bit of blue here and there. But it's sentient. It was extremely small, only about half a meter in diameter, but extremely visible. And it can move. It was still bound by the limits of our universe. No faster-than-light travel, no eliminated G-forces, nothing.
SECTION TWO: Exploring and gathering
The Black Vortex was curious, so it decided to gather a large sum of the universe's materials. Dark matter. White matter. Antimatter. Exotic matter. Abnormal matter. You name it, its got it.
Time has passed. It had a lot of stuff. But it couldn't use them. After all, it was just a small, vortex... thing.
It started to wonder around, and soon found a large amount of interesting celestial bodies.
It first started on a large yellow moon that is today known as Titan. He set it as his origin home location and went from there. Titan is beautiful. Yellow skies, large rocks, liquid methane lakes, and a gourgeous view of Saturn. But, it couldn't go much further.
SECTION THREE: Humanoids and the substance of dreams
The Solar System is well-known now, and the 3rd planet is certainly interesting: Earth. It's habitable. 6371 kilometers in radius, with water, dirt, stones, and clouds. It doesn't really need any introduction. The Black Vortex eagerly observed what the primitive humans were doing, all the way back from Titan. It had really good vision.
It slowly began forming a body to hold itself, but didn't have anything to make it out of. It started combining the amassed things. Using black matter and a now-unknown material, it made something that's only ever been found in... dreams, i guess.
It didn't have a name yet, but was later named Nihilium, with the symbol Nil, and that's basically everything humans know about it today. About it's properties: Virtually indestructable, but it seems to be formable in a way too. It weighs basically nothing. Many of the things made with nihilium had to have artificial weights in them.
It's truly something brutally overpowered.
SECTION FOUR: The creation of a nation
Earth has evolved a lot. Humans started making better tools and objects to help them survive the elements of nature and battle against other humans.
Meanwhile, the Black Vortex was almost done with its shell. It had a similar shape to humans, but it was only humanoid: no materials from humankind have been used. It also made something amazing. The Logic Breakers. Each featuring differing percentages of the gathered matters, these could overwhelm the physics of the universe and allow for previously impossible things.
SECTION FIVE: Maximum Penetration
The Black Vortex was rather vulnerable. It resided in the thick atmosphere of Titan specifically to shield itself from harm. But it wanted more. What about offensive capability? It slowly thought these things up...
"I will certainly need something for close combat. I've seen the humans use long, sharp objects with a point edgy and a smooth holder. They seemed to be called... "swords"? (-> Astrocosmosis)
Long range. Humans have made bows and arrows, then guns, which shoot a ball propelled with heat. But what if I shoot the heat itself? (-> Pulsar Beam)
Finally, I'll need something that's just too powerful. Capable of launching itself directly from nothing, onto the designated target, and boom, it's gone. (-> Surge Strike)
And with that, it started making them.
I decided to make this to help you understand how all of the things work. I'm not a good storymaker and this could certainly be made better, but i don't care lol
