Description / Biology
The Hyperbeings are genetically based on humans, but modified in many ways. Originating from a catastrophic disruption in the fabric of space, the Hyperbeings were forced by the laws of our universe to transform from fantastic energy life forms from another dimension, to solid, biological ones. When this happened, the human form was used as a template for the Hyperbeings, but they took extra liberties to improve upon that template.
The key modification in the Hyperbeing is the introduction of an exotic particle, called the hypron (not to be confused with the hyperon). The hypron, in its inactive state, is a tiny particle which bonds with atoms or molecules, but does not alter the chemical properties of the particle with which it bonds. When active, however, the hypron has awesome power. Stimulated correctly, the hypron, seemingly against the laws of physics, can project electric and magnetic areas of flux in a variety of ways that give the Hyperbeing a range of powerful abilities including superhuman strength and durability, remote induction of electric current, telekinesis using static electric and magnetic fields, and the emission and absorption of nearly any kind of light wave with their skin. The Hyperbeing can even see any kind of light, from radio waves all the way through to X-rays. These abilities are gained at no cost to our universe. The hypron is, for all intents and purposes, a free-energy particle.
Other modifications made by the Hyperbeings include the ability to biologically create new hyprons, the elimination of aging, and an enhanced brain with sections that function like computers. These brain enhancements offer the Hyperbeings extremely efficient memory storage and recall, as well as very rapid calculation and reflexes.
The Hyperbeings are very powerful and immortal.
History, Social Structure and Culture
The Hyperbeings split into two major factions: The Hyperbeing Dominion, and the Hyperbeing Empire. The population of the Empire exceeds the total population of Hyperbeings in other factions. The Hyperbeing Empire is an autocratic oligarchy run by four of the original Hyperbeings. Despite being an autocracy, citizens of the Empire enjoy substantial rights and privileges. Empire colonies and cities are luxurious in design. Due to the advanced technology and superhuman abilities of the hyperbeings, maintaining their colonies requires a minor amount of labour, allowing most of the population free to pursue scientific and technological development and leisure. more to come...
