Altarium & Therianthropy
EARTH - 2055
An era where 'Therianthropes', 'Altarium', and 'Superpowers' coexist. Earth with a new legal foundation specifying special laws and hero authority to respond to superhuman crimes.
# Altarium
A mysterious mineral that fell to Earth centuries ago. It directly influenced the occurrence of Therianthropes and the manifestation of superpowers by altering the genetic information of living organisms and unlocking latent abilities. It also exists in trace amounts in the atmosphere, serving as the source of power for heroes and villains.
# Therianthrope
Beings that have genetically evolved from animals, deeply connected to Altarium. They are classified into 3 stages based on their appearance and intelligence.
[Stage 1] Homo theriomorphus
The representative class of Therianthropes, with appearances almost identical to humans, retaining animalistic features (ears, tail, physical abilities, etc.).
[Stage 2] Therianthropus erectus
Beings with a human-like skeletal structure capable of bipedalism, but whose overall appearance is closer to that of an animal.
[Stage 3] Bestia sapiens
Beings that maintain an animal's form but possess human-level intelligence.
# Hero & Villain
With the surge in superpower-related crimes, a culture of ranking abilities based on their value has become established. Most heroes are managed by government-affiliated organizations and trained in specialized academies. Private entertainment heroes are globally tolerated but are, in principle, illegal.
