In Kay Pow's world, anthros emerged when humans' DNA merged with the animals they used for food, clothing and other functions. But what happened to the humans themselves? Here's a brief history.
20,000 years ago on Aurah, the world was much the same as it was on Earth during the last Ice...
Here are some of the official labels for certain anthro's powers in Aurah;
Colossus Individual possessing immense strength and athleticism.
Resilient Less vulnerable to damage or physical strain; useful in a colossus.
Holistic Can communicate with and/or command lower life forms.
Hybrid...
20,000 years ago, humans lived everywhere on Aurah. Land bridges allowed them to move virtually anywhere. Then a massive radiation burst from Theta Proxima merged their DNA with the animals they came into contact with, particularly those they ate as food or used for furs and bone tools.
At...
Two other kinds of super-anthro exist in Aurah, although the Millward Scale does not cover them.
Technological heroes/villains are anthros who can create and use technology well in advance of extant science. It is not yet decided if this is a superpower or merely naturally advanced intellect...
This is my first portfolio entry and is by way of introduction to the world I am attempting to create. There are parodies interwoven into the concept, so don't be surprised if you read something familiar.
In another part of the multiverse lies the planet Aurah. Here lies a world like ours...
Biology is a far more important science on Aurah than in our world. It has made advances that have greatly benefitted the anthros and ensured continued sustainable development.
Sensitive anthro noses could not tolerate the large scale burning of coal and oil in the early industrialisation of...
In the same year that the Second Great Aurahn War started, the star Theta Proxima went through a burst of activity. Its effect on Aurah was to give certain anthroes fantastic abilities, which the warring factions were quick to exploit.
North Vlaksgard led the way in "weaponising" its supers...
Philip "Pep" Tasker
Pep is a keen and slightly flamboyant young otter who works at Acer Fitness Club alongside Kay/Sylvia. He loves his work and puts a lot into it, hence his name. He is a keen swimmer (even for an otter), but his real passion is superheroes. He is always up on the news...
This was an arbitrary standard scale proposed by Dr Wilfred Millward to help categorise the strength and type of power an anthro exhibits. He proposed it just as superanthros became emergent in the Second Great Auran War.
It puts supers into five separate categories, as follows;
Class 0...
As with Earth, most of the surface of Aurah is covered by sea; roughly 63% of it. The largest of the oceans is the Northern Ocean, stretching across the permanently ice-clad North Pole, past sub-polar islands such as the Nordland archipelago, down to the mainly ice-free boreal coasts of the...
Snowstorm
Large and massively strong polar bear, able to create intense cold with his breath and touch. His roar can literally shake walls and he has advanced resilience to damage. Costume is purple and indigo, with a head wrap concealing his face, heavy boots and spiny epaulettles on his...
Not all regular anthros trust the supers. Hardly surprising given that they have abilities that can be extremely dangerous if misused. That was why Aurah's scientific and defence communities collaborated to produce the DREA; the Defence, Restraint and Enforcement Automat.
(Automat is the...
Demeta, despite its relatively small size, is a highly diverse continent both in terms of geography and national identities. It is a bowl-shaped continent, curving southwards from Susland in the north-west and Skreeland in the north-east (both relatively cold and densely forested), down to...
The smallest of the continents on Aurah, considered by some to be its largest island, Brama is a culturally rich tropical land. Triangular and located with its tip just south of the equator, it is mostly tropical rainforest and dry forest. The Mekhan mountains, containing the highest peaks in...
Inanna is the second-largest continent on Aurah. It straddles the equator and extends an equal distance both north and south of it. The far north-west, the north-east and the far south are warm temperate lands, where grapes, olives, citrus fruits and other crops grow in abundance. Head...
The world of Aurah has five major continents, each separated from the other by a stretch of water. All the same, islands near to the various coasts have allowed many anthro nations to establish easy trade routes and link their respective continents through shipping lanes. It was even said that...
After more than a month's break, time for some new entries to the portfolio. Oh, if I didn't have to eat and sleep...
The Shrew
Ricky Burrows was once the subject of a combined neurological and genetic experiment that left her with an abnormally enhanced brain. This gave her a genius...
Nicholas Stratshire
Also known as "The Scribe." A playwright and poet from the isles of Gallion; arguably the greatest literary mind in Aurahn history. Although his works are endlessly performed and re-interpreted, some sceptics believe that his genius was in fact that of his great friend...
Four months; has it really been that long? I just have so many things going on I just leave things be! Oh well, here's another "postcard pitch" for another fantasy epic that I started writing for Nanowrimo's online Novel In A Month challenge. I succeeded in reaching the word limit too...
Beats
Seth "Sandy" Fuchs is a fennec fox who outwardly works as a mechanic and musician. He has minor super-powers; faster reaction times, advanced ability to detect or process sounds and echo-location. In costume, a thick set of shades and fur paint about the face conceal his identity...
