First post for Per Infernum Ad Astra! I feel like to properly introduce this world the easiest place to start would be it's respective species and their place in the larger ecosystem of the universe.
I'm still working out what to include and what to leave ambiguous for now, and I should clarify that this universe and its contents are still very much a WIP, and elements are subject to change as things further develop into what I'm envisioning here. However, I feel like it's developed enough for me to start putting it out there to hopefully hold myself a little more accountable to working on it.
I'd explain the universe this takes place in as an alternate-history form of earth. A lot of core principles are the same but a lot of things will be very different--I think that will make itself apparent as I put more down here.
annnyways. Here's a transcript of what's written in the images in case you don't want to do a bunch of zooming since it's admittedly written pretty small.
CREATIONISTS - CHILDREN OF THE STARS
The Creationists are the most ancient beings that the world knows of. Their unique, enhanced connection with the stars gives them a multitude of special abilities. As the founders of Earth and mankind, they are tasked with indirectly influencing their fate. This is a duty that is often carried out through their offspring, the seraphim.
Creationists reproduce entirely asexually. Creating offspring is a mostly unknown process, however it is known to drain massive amounts of energy and act as a catalyst for major world events.
While not containing a physical body underneath their robes, they can manifest body parts–typically hands and arms–when they deem appropriate.
Though Creationists have been long forgotten by mankind, their influence can still be seen in modern religions. (wings, stars, rainbows
