In an era where new machinery has brought stability, peculiarities are a direct attack against a secure way of life. These peculiarities often come in the form of people with supernatural abilities. Terrified of ostracization, they are forced into a life of suppression and normalcy. To make matters worse, groups of mech enhanced hunters are dedicated to capturing Peculiars and ridding them from the world.
Winnifred Graham is a Peculiar with a control over gravity. After years of being doomed to the earth, she longs for freedom. Her opportunity comes in the form of Edgar Strange, a man who is fascinated by Peculiars and seeks to rescue them from their hateful society.
Winnifred and Strange embark on a journey across the world to find other Peculiars and take them to a place of acceptance. With hunters on their trail, fearful villages, and a mysterious man hot on their heels, they can't afford to let their guard down. However, even in the midst of chaos, Winnifred and Strange's growing ragtag bunch of Peculiars make time for a few small adventures along the way.

Slice of Perfection
This place is a futuristic multiverse where humanity has been able to conquer various universes of tremendous size. The technology that they had was unfathomable to achieve such a feat. They were able to conquer all energy sources and solve all diseases and conflict, but they're facing another threat now. In one of the many universes, a genius like no other is born, Mary is born with supernatural intelligence and perfect attributes. She is soon to be graduated from her top-grade college with her friends, however, she will soon be called for a task of upmost importance, where the fate of the multiverse is in her hands. Everyone depends on her, and the world looks at the woman with expectancy and glee, watching her decisions and shaping the environment around her. Follow the adventures of Mary Tzu and her friends Jacob Bohr, Michael Campbell and Jane Lee in a Multiverse with endless possibilities. This story is divided in 3 parts, each one with its sub-chapters. It pretends to be a critic toward those characters that tend to be too strong within a narrative without thinking about the environment and its effects on the characters. Is God something truly good? Why do we take that for granted when he allows suffering, allows evil? Why does he allow imperfections? Art and Designs made by: _.psamate._ (https://www.instagram.com/_.psamate._/)Terminé
Steady Ground | ✔
He's damaged. He's lost. And worse of all, his memories have come to life. If he wants to find peace, he'll need to redefine what it really means to move on. -- For the first time in years, Atlas feels like he's separated himself from the misfortune in his life. He's healed, he's rented a decent apartment, he's settled into a solid-enough-for-him job working as a grunt for some scientists. Now he's (reluctantly) traveling to the spring snows of Alaska, where they plan to test the first run of their earthquake-harnessing technology. But something goes wrong. They don't harness the energy of an earthquake. No. Instead, the ground rips apart. A massive crevice forms, leading deep into the Earth. The chasm lulls him forward like a Siren, telling him tales of his mother, of her laughter, of her scent of strong sandalwood, and of his life before her death. Waking up in what he can only describe as Hell, he's confronted with every misfortune in his life. Forced to befriend mirages made from his most painful childhood memories or pay severe consequences, he travels the twisted realm in search of answers.

Nothing Super [COMPLETED]
"I LOVED IT" - Clumsy_weirdo_353 "So your sister likes to get drunk and beat up guys twice her size," Taylor said, her eyes closed. "Yup." A beat. "So you can teleport." "Yup." Another slice of silence. "So you really can fight," she said. "Yup." A single heartbeat. "So you can teleport." "Yup." "Cool. Cool, cool, cool." Taylor squinted at him, his outward calm mystifying. "You're taking this a lot better than I imagined," she said. He shrugged, but like a bomb, he exploded. "Holy- You can teleport!" Taylor nodded once with the inevitable. "Yeah, that was more like what I was expecting." Taylor's life has been thrown into tailspin. Since discovering she could teleport six months ago she's been trying to juggle being a high school student by day, and a vigilante by night with failing results. Unable to stay awake in classes from her late nights, her grades are dropping fast, and to top it off her exhaustion has she left friendless. When saving late night employees from a burning building puts Taylor in the path of a dangerous criminal, she ends up in an altercation that forces her to realize she needs help. Help comes from two unlikely people: Clint and Dominic who bring their own complications. As the problems keep building, Taylor is quickly learning that having an ability doesn't mean she knows how to protect the city, let alone herself. "It was amazing!!!

A strange peculiarity || Enoch O'Connor
{Completed} Jeanette is strange, even as peculiars go. She strives to protect her friends, in a world where they are killed for no reason that would ever justify murder, not that it can ever be justified.

Such was the case of Ella Macmillior alias Aquifer, chosen of the Seven Seas to open the portal for Lord Dagon, Leviathan, Behemoth and the Queen of the Coast to invade the earth realm. She didn't ever want to be controlled. She wanted to control. Unfortunately, that wasn't to be the case. She was destined to be a mere tool to be used and dumped. A slave. There was no backing out. She was stuck deep in the mud. The heat was stifling, gradually siphoning life out of her. Until she encountered her means of escape. Until she broke free from a lifelong shackle.
