CREATION— abilities where the user can conjure without relying on existing elements. usually, they constantly produce their own needed element. these types of abilities have always been the most sought after due to them being able to create and refine needed materials or to use as power sources.
↳ FIND MORE ON: electric, windmill, cultivator, architect, stormer
MANIPULATION— abilities where the user must have an existing element within a reasonable radius to use their ability, and the amount of that element nearby will affect how strong their power will be. this is the most common type of ability to find.
↳ FIND MORE ON: icier, flamer, metallier, flooder, dehydrator
RECONSTRUCTION — abilities where the user must rely on specific circumstances to use them on a living form. these circumstances are generally unique to each user but tend to be similar for the same ability. the rules governing these types of abilities vary more widely due to their inherently unique nature.
↳ FIND MORE ON: healer, controller, lung stealer, powerhouse

DIRECT FROM THE ◼◼◼◼◼◼, A STUDY ON SUPERHUMAN ORIGINS AND FUNCTIONS [THIS VERSION HAS BEEN EDITED, OVERSEEN BY THE POWER OF THE SEA HISTORICAL REVISIONS COMMITTEE] —
“superhumans have been recorded all throughout history; stories of children with unusual abilities and people overtaken by their powers. these people were seen as gifts from the gods [⒊ by small, unorganized communities with little known history]. many were bought by royalty and the rich to use their powers, or bought by others to ◼◼◼◼◼◼ [help] them. in the early days of the world, many superhumans did not live past young adulthood. their powers were not understood and used in the wrong ways, leading to their own deaths and other humans.”
“according to the ◼◼◼◼◼◼, the first recorded and officially known superhuman was ‱⁇, better known as the ‘ina’, who was a [⒏ it is uncertain what her ability truly was] superhuman. she died as a child, but was revered around her village for ◼◼◼◼◼◼ them from starvation.”
“at some point there was a shift from superhumans being seen [⒄ this section has been removed due to debate] … many superhumans were hunted if they were discovered to have powers, particularly in regions that seemed to spawn more ['dangerous’] powers than others, leading to a [knowing feeling] for what they were capable of.”
“as the world progressed, it seemed superhuman powers did, as well. constantly ahead of the game against technology until one day- they weren’t.”
THE WRITEBLR GARDEN’S ADVENT CALENDAR/ day 1. holidays
for today’s prompt i decided to go with the holidays in the unsuperverse! mostly the history ones bc i love unsuper history and also bc a lot of these happen during the story so i might as well talk about them once.
THE BURNING OF 2168 - AUGUST 15
referred to as the burnings, this was the four month period the selected destroyed the earth. the anniversary used to be a three month period in the bunkers where they mourned and celebrated the past. since it’s been 580 years in unsuper, it’s now just an annual day of resentfully remembering what has led their world to what it is.
BUNKER FREEDOM DAY - MAY 7
for 464 years the remnants of humanity were either ◾◾◾◾◾◾◾◾◾ or underground. as soon as the world realized the selected was truly going to destroy the world, they immediately began evacuating as many as they could into whatever bunkers they knew of. whether or not they’d survive was a problem they’d have to face later. the survivors were made up of a majority of government, military, and of course- those who paid their way in and those who earned it. despite their struggles in the bunkers, one day in may 2632, the survivors of a bunker in france came out and discovered the world was not the same, but it was livable. their survivors began exploring the new ruined land, unsure if they’d be able to find other bunkers with the new formations and destruction. bunker freedom day is celebrated with parties, drinking, and feasts.
i’ve been meaning to introduce the leaders of unsuper properly but have never gotten around to it since there’s so many and i am #lazy. here we are though! i’ll introduce each leader and their location along with their advisors in the least spoilery way i can. continued under the cut cause it’s pretty long!
LEADER OF UNSUPER - KAE MULLER - ABILITY: BLOODBATH
kae is the current leader and one of the founders of unsuper. because of how large the group has become, most leaders generally make their own decisions. however, when it comes to larger operations that are extremely risky— such as prison break-outs—they have to be approved by her. kae is currently in astiana due to unsuper having the most struggles there. kae is extremely well-respected around the world by superhumans, and disliked by everyone else.

The floating city of Union only runs because of superhumans. Without them, everyone would still be stuck on the ground battling the floods and the sickness coming with it. It’s all thanks to the last remaining Savior, Governor Sarseroza, for keeping superhumans in place. But a man like him doesn’t live this long without some terrible secrets.
Callista Sarseroza just returned to Union after spending the last four years in the mysterious United Academy. She comes back to friends she doesn’t know, paths she doesn’t want to get trapped in, and a father watching her every move. While the world has been rapidly changing, Callista has no idea who she is anymore. She wants nothing more than to decide her own fate and escape from everything.
Britta Kvale is a respected member of Unsuper, the superhuman rebel group working to take down the Governor and his army. An Icier the group rescued not long ago from the Flood Floors; she quickly rose through the ranks thanks to her brutality. She’s ready to turn the entire place upside-down to get her revenge. But Unsuper doesn’t want that. They want to take the city for themselves and turn it into their vision of a superhuman haven where they can make their own choices.
In a normal world, these two would never cross paths if they had anything to do with it. But this is not a normal world, it is one on the brink of falling apart. When Callista is taken as a bartering chip by Unsuper, Britta begins to see a side of Unsuper she’d never seen before. She throws herself down the path of learning the truth about the group, trying to understand how they got here and where they’re going. Meanwhile, Callista discovers things about herself she’d never imagined, things she had buried deep to forget. And she doesn’t like where she’s headed.
The only thing these two have in common is that they’ve had every choice ripped away from them. Yet, when they come together, they find that they can finally make their own path. But there is a price to this, and it will cost them everything.
i know i’ve introduced unsuper at least 20 twenty times at this point but i’ve been meaning to make an updated power point since the last one was from all the way back in 2018 and was BADLY outdated (britta and preston were still a thing there and i could not have that out in the world) so here we go again ✨ there was definitely a lot more i wanted to add but i feel like i’ve already mentioned everything there is to mention without spoilers so if you’re still looking for more deets about unsuper, my wip server has plenty of extras and a few chapters up to read so you should join the partyhere🥳
i also wanted to get this power point out now since i’ve reached 20k in the draft and i’m determined to finally finish book 1 within 2022! i’ve been working unsuper since around 2015 and while it’s changed a lot within the past oh geez 7 years i’ve never managed to fully finish a draft for it. i’ve finally reached a point where i’m confident with where the story is going and slightly better about my writing thanks to the support of my friends and those of you who have been following along for the ride. it will be tough since i’ve literally. never finished a single draft of anything before. but i’m making it my goal to do it so i’m going to push through anyway! i’ll be doing monthly updates for my progress on here and on my writing twitter and my server so be prepared for an unsuper filled year bc i am GOING TO FINISH THIS DRAFT AAAAAAA!!!
if you saw this the first time no you didn’t. this is just an excuse for me to shamelessly plug the unsuper playlistso you can get into my head while i write!
