You can see a timeline of major Phelion events plus notable events including characters here.
Introduction
Introduction
In 2032, a meteor was headed towards Earth. The situation was dire; there was little to be done and the expected damage was expected to be catastrophic. Everyone prepared for the end of everything, and yet—
When the meteor breached the atmosphere, it exploded into countless microscopic fragments, scattering across the world.
No one knew what to make of it for quite some time. And then, the Phelions began to emerge. This refers to the individuals who have assimilated a fragment of the meteor, developing various strange abilities including telepathy with other Phelions, telekinesis, creation and manipulation of hard-light matter, etc.
It was in 2045 that one Phelion calling themself Kaluin discovered the Shift: an ability to alter their entire physical form into a biomechanical entity capable of much stronger abilities, in addition to requiring very little sustenance to live—being sustained mostly by sunlight, and very efficiently.
Kaluin spoke of a collective will originating from the meteor, and other Phelions echoed a similar sentiment. There was, they said, an impetus to go into space. So they gathered together in an organization they dubbed Periapsis and ascended to the stars, building an orbital base by Earth to be their base of operations for study of their kind, space exploration, and community. The organization is often referred to as the Academy.
Another ten years passed before the first Aphels attacked. Alien beings, startlingly similar to Phelions, who descended upon the Periapsis base and Earth. They seemed to specifically target Shift-capable Phelions, being passive to other beings. This is when Phelions discovered their offensive potential, fighting off the invaders.
Most Phelions thus joined the Academy, and the Academy in turn developed different divisions that they could join: Research, Exploration, and Defense. Phelions could also choose to stay at the Academy without joining any, perhaps for protection or just to stay within a community of those like them. Those who did wish to join a division first had to become a student with a focus on their desired division before joining the official ranks.
And so the Phelions pushed forward, studying the nature of their existence, defending themselves against the growing threat of the Aphels, and expanding through space to seek out the truth of their origin.
Aberrant Paths
Aberrant Paths
For almost 200 years, the Phelions of Periapsis have been facing the unending threat of Aphels. These years have not been spent in idleness; Phelions have studied themselves and Aphels, in addition to exploring the vast reaches of the universe. They have learned to defend themselves from what seems to be the only significant threat to their kind, enough to maintain stability and minimize losses from Aphel attacks. Their society is stable and powerful; by nearly all accounts, they are thriving.
Then, in 2223, the Invasion occurred, setting off a string of events that would fundamentally change both Phelions and Aphels, and finally put to rest the question of their origins.
