Alternate DC Uprising World Building

Phantom/Still Zone Notes- There is the Phantom Zone and The Still Zone.

- The Phantom Zone is a infinite expanse with no escape that causes hellish hallucinations of a person's worst fears while constantly draining their power and life force. People trapped long enough get to the point they can't reform and become phantom creatures, which will attack those trapped still with bodies.

- The Still Zone is the Light's own little corner of the Phantom Zone. Although almost impossibly hard, The Still Zone can be found through the Phantom Zone, but once you enter you are hit the the immobility, hunger, visions and other Still Zone effects.

- Prisoners are usually given a sentence in the PZ from one year to 500 to 1000+ years depending on the extent of the crimes they commited. There are also different "layers" of the Phantom Zone, all more & more horrifying, the first layer being the barren wasteland. The Zone is also filled with native alien monsters and phantoms who eat, and torture the residents for fun who venture into the lower layers

- If someone is a particularly bad criminal, the Projector can be set to "Max Suffering", causing them to be sent into the zone automatically without their body trapped in phantom form, in endless suffering, and the lower layers of pure suffering which drive most people mad, and cause them to beg for death but the can never get it.

- The only way into the Zones are through Projectors. One can use the Phantom Zone Projector to access the Phantom Zone and attempt to locate the Still Zone though there. Or you can use a specialised Still Zone Projector to go straight to the Still Zone directly.

- There's 4 ways to escape one is a pre designed portal that can be activated by anyone in Superman's family or anyone with a pre authorized code.

People with dimensional powers/reality powers/nigh omnipotents can enter/escape the zone

There is a doorway in the lowest layer but to go through it is risky as you must face the Aeththy the manifestation of all the pure evil of the zone sorta like the Phantom Zone Devil, and 90%-98% of people fail to get through the door, and trying eradicates your body and your soul is consumed by the Aethry leaving you to endure ultimate torment for eternity unless of course your freed. People whose souls are consumed if freed from the Zone will automatically depart to the afterlife, phantoms may get their bodies back if they haven't been phantoms for long or if the Projector owner releases them and inputs a code to restore their body, and people with bodies still obviously come out with bodies.

The regular Phantom Zone is a barren wasteland that goes on for eternity, and inmates trapped there never age, and cant die. There are mirrors that prisoners can look through to see the real world, the mirrors are places where the projector was used to send people. Fourth way sometimes random incidents of increadible power can break the Phantom Zone Mirrors and allow people escape, like if a nuke goes off by the mirror or massive planet shattering energy beam hits the mirror, or massive amount of psionic power unleashed near a mirror etc. These accidental rifts open more frequently in the lower hellish realms of the Phantom Zone, but Phantoms & others who've been horribly warped by the zone can't use the rifts, only people with bodies and 90% of them don't go into the lower realms.

- The Phantom Zone is used to punish the worst criminals, and is an eternal punishment, although Krypton assigned criminals sentences based on their crimes. After Krypton was destroyed that left everyone in the zone trapped for eternity, until Superman discovered the projector as an adult, as well as the Phantom Zone Window which allows him or anyone else to physically look into the zone or even "Zoom in" on specific prisoners.

- Kryptonians have another form of punishment called Kryptomization which uses an Eradicator to painfully atomise/disintegrate prisoners/criminals, and spreads their particles across the current galaxy they are in. The victim/prisoner is eventually reformed however the reformation process is painful as their able to witness events all around the galaxy, and their molecules passing through worlds to recombine cause them to experience the all & the pain of suffering of every person they pass through until they are reformed.

If you murdered three kids for example, and get Kryptomized, you might only be spread across a small city/country, where your molecules will pass through various kids who were unfairly murdered & feel their pain before being reformed. Lets say you raped people, once kryptomizsed your molecules will pass through people who were raped and be forced to experience all of their rapes before being reformed. If you murdered people, your spread and forced to have your molecules pass through murder victims & experience their pain. Depending on the severity of your crime you can be spread across a city, country, plant, or even a galaxy experiencing pain from the same type of victims you hurt.

The amount of pain you get when Kryptomized is based on your crimes, lets say you abused your family, you might only be vaporised and spread through a town and forced to endure the abuse of all abused kids/family in the area. The smaller the crime the less farther your spread, and the less victims pain you feel

- The final and "Least" bad Kryptonian super alien punishment is "Suspended Reformation" where you are placed in suspended reformation and forced to relive your crimes against your victim from your victims experience while frozen, & usually for short periods of times. Used to punish people for regular violent crimes.

Suspended Animation is used on criminals who commit violent acts against individuals/small groups, your frozen forced to feel their pain until you are truly sorry/empathise with them so it lasts for days/weeks/months at most. After Animation they are given parole for months to a year. IF hat fails they get Level 2 which is Kryptomizatio these are for crimes committed against several people/large groups, and Phantom Zone used on the worst of the worst like horrible villains who eradicate worlds & decimate populations. Animation is activated with a capsule blast, Kryptomoizaton they are placed in a chamber and exploded then spread, and the Phantom Zone projector is used to send them to the Zone.

World of Alternate DC Uprising
--The central setting for the roleplay is in the Future DC Universe, known as Earth-77. In the roleplay's multiverse, it is the prime DC Future universe. Meaning in this RP, the future DC Universe where the storyline occurs is the future of the main DC Universe.

The Current year in the RP is the year of 2060. The United States of America has became a global empire known as the United Empire that stretches the entire planet including the Amazon island of Themyiscra and the underwater civilization of Atlantis. The entire world is policed & oppressed by a powerful futuristic global militriaistic force known as The Light or more formerly the Light Brigade.

The United States won World War 3/WW3 and rose to global power 20 years ago in 2040. WW3 itself lasted ironically three years, thus it began in 2037. The last president of the United States & President during WW3 was Lex Luthor.

According to historical records Lex Luthor gave his life towards the end of World War 3 during the Battle of Metropolis in a tense battle between the US Army against soldiers from Russia, China, France & North Korea. The Battle of Metropolis took place towards the end of 2039 and months later the United States won the war & took control of the entire planet.

Superman was banished from the planet earth over 20 years ago. Lex Luthor was a former villain who claimed to have reformed after a miraculous recovery from cancer caused by wearing a kryptonite ring for several years. He played a key role in helping the Justice League in a decesive battle against Ultraman, an alternate universe version of Superman & the Crime Syndicate an evil alternate version of the Justice League. After that Lex opened many charities & devoted his genius towards inventions to help others. Soon after he earned the trust of the public even more so then before he was initially exposed as a villain & served time in prison. He developed a super weapon known as a Jammer that the League used to weaken Ultraman & the Crime Syndicate which is how they defeated their evil counter-parts. Shortly after that Lex received a pardon from the current president for his efforts to help save the world from the evil Justice League.

Despite all this Superman never grew to trust Lex, and was gravely concerned when he managed to become elected as President of the United States. He constantly voiced his concerns about the future of America with Lex Luthor as president to other members of the Justice League, most of whom agreed with him especially Batman. The League kept a watchful eye on Luthor during his first presidental term, but he turned out to be one of the greatest presidents the United States ever, and caused the country to have a massive economic success. By this point in time most people who were leary of Luthor finally grew to believe he reformed including many members of the Justice League except Superman, and of course Batman.

Luthor was elected for a second term winning by a massive landslide. In truth the bald super genius never truly reformed and was merely playing a long con with his eyes set on world domination. He assembled a super villain counterpart to the League known as The Light, which at first functioned as a super villain protection rocket as the League's power made it nearly impossible for villains to prosper alone. During his second presidential term he initiated his plans for world domination. Using the team of villains he had he carefully had them trigger incidents behind the scene to spark global controversy and drive the world into the greatest global conflict ever, World War 3.

Many people clamored for Superman to pick a side, while many assumed that Superman would take the side of the United States regardless of Luthor being the President. Superman refused to take any sides in the war & advised the Justice League to all take the same position. However this would not be the case as certain members such as Captain Atom who had a history in the US Military quit the League to join America's side in the third world war. Superman struggled to remain neutral as WW3 intensified and all countries got involved in the global conflict. Lex Luthor infected Captain Atom with a virus that caused his mental state to deteriate and set him loose on Dallas, Texas. Superman sprung into action to save Dallas from the radioactive hero but was driven by paranoia towards Luthor as Atom was on America's side and he was still in general not trusting of Luthor. He showed extreme signs of paranoia on the days proceeding his battle with Captain Atom above the skies of Dallas which culminated in a reckless battle with Captain Atom whereupon Superman assumed that Luthor was the mastermind behind Atom's infection while the general consensus was that America's enemies had done this to him to use him as a living nuclear bomb on the city of Dallas.

The result was Superman poorly handled the incident, and the result was Atom taking too much damage from the kryptonian hero causing him to go nuclear in Dallas murdering millions. The blast itself was so powerful that Atom took his own life leaving Superman as the only survivor. Millions of Americans blamed Superman for his poor handling of the Captain Atom Dallas Incident, and even members from the League supported them stating that his mental state was unhinged and he blantantly accused Luthor of being responsible and called for him to stop Atom's attack multiple times rather then trying to "figure out" what was wrong with Atom and stop him. As a result the world turned on Superman and he felt ashamed finally feeling that he was wrong about Luthor and that his judgement towards him caused the loss of millions of Texans. His Luthor paranoia had also slipped into his personal life leading to a stunning shocking divorce from the love of his life Lois Lane. After the Dallas incident Superman gave one final speech to his children and then abandoned his adopted planet now an outcast despite his numerous years of herorism.

Shortly after Batman called an emergency meeting at the watchtower in space. Several members of the league attended, and on that fateful day a mother box exploded wiping out the watchtower. In truth Batman had not called the meeting, it was the result of Lex Luthor using vocal mimicry. technology and a metahuman shape shifter he pardoned from prison a few weeks afterwards. With most of the Justice League gone Luthor had nothing in his way from leading America to victory in World War 3. With the aid of his sister Lena Luthor he constructed a device called Myriad with the power to brainwash the entire planet. He also raided Superman's ice castle the Fortress of Solitude for alien technology including the fabled phantom zone projector. He struck a deal with General Zod & other criminal kryptonians imprisoned in the zone releasing them, and using them to win WW3. Then with Myriad he brainwashed the planet into believing the last year of WW3 went down in an entirely different manner that did not include Zod or his Phantom Zone soldiers, and also that Luthor gave his life in the war.

Luthor's supposed most trusted protege assumed control of the United Empire & has reigned as President of the United Empire for the past 20 years. Although in truth the man behind the armor whose identity remains unknown to the world is none other then Lex Luthor himeslf.
