Life on Earth Prime

Earth Prime vastly resembles Earth itself, however Prime has a couple of other continents and Islands.

One Continent is Atlantis; a conglomerate of several biomes, including a desert, mountains, and deciduous forest. The closest location to Atlantis is the island-nation of Gilea, roughly the size of Ireland. The desert of Atlantis is currently a Gilean colonial site, the capital being Kyuusho City.

Of Earth Prime, Gilea is also the most advanced, adapting technologies that come through the Rifts found all throughout Earth Prime. Many technologies available from Gilea include the Erstholm series of Machines and Droids, as well as Wernthrop model Battle Suits and equipment. While the Illuminatus Leo is popular in Gilea, however, mobile suits did not originate there, instead populating the other countries of the world under multiple monikers, including as Pawn Leo and more.

Along with the island of Gilea and the nearby continent Atlantis, another major continent is Mu.

Mu herself is home to very few nations, instead fostering a sort of no-man's land where all nations will commune for business or pleasure -- Mu is home site to multiple unexplained phenomena, such as the culture many Shifters were born from, and the eldest known Rift on the planet believed to have sparked the existence of Touched Ones; those bonded to others outside Earth Prime with a strength and power unparallel. Mu is also home to a Magic Academy known as Pandora's Box, dediated to all magical studies and the studies of the worlds beyond. The Pandoran magic users are dedicated to finding out why other worlds alter and affect life on Earth Prime, where many are considered 'fiction' until a rift is opened.

The largest Superpowers of Earth Prime are the United States, Gilea, Japan, and Russia-- China itself collapsed during the Cold War and was annexed by Thailand.

Magic

Earth Prim has been heavily altered by magic. Magic itself is common in as many forms as there are universes -- although there are magical classes. the most common magics are on par with telekenises, transformation, and the like. Many residents of Earth Prime may alter items into other items of equal or less mass (Like a pencil to a feather, or a desk to shelving). People cannot change animals safely, however, science often compensates. Earth Prime;s technology has significantly advanced due to the Rifts and the commanding work of Gilea to prompt the other Superpowers to keep up. Mecha from offworld and on-world are both common sights as arte drones, from the massic Spiders to a small refuelling unit called a pigeon in the military -- with more designed for civilians and politics, and more alike.

Due to the magic energies rippling through Earth Prime, Technomancy has become a common art of Magic along with Telekinetics and Transformation arts -- Manipulation, and communication, with electronics on a base level is incredibly efficient. These magics have especially aided in the Rift research to aid in Touched Summoners, and the uses of technomancy are still being explored, especially with major mechanical worlds emerging.

Overall, magic is everywhere -- with non-magic nurtured along with it hand in hand.

Rifts

Rifts are naturally occuring anomolies in reaslity that serve as gates to other realms. While Summoners may create these temporarily, most continents appear to have from 1-3. Islands traditionally have 0-1. The largest rift is located in Gilea's Mission City, which has the globe's largest population of non-human citizens to square foot ratio, followed by the United States and Britain.

Rifts themselves appear as an energy mass to both the naked eye and radar, and there are, most usually, cities built around them for immigrants and to monitor the output of rifts. Not everything emerging from rifts are friendly; at one time the states of Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, and Oregon were scorched by an invading army from the rift in Yellowstone before they were stopped in Seattle. While many cities recovered, the lands outside remained burnt, often viable sources of metal and scrap for techies and archeologists alike to find.
