TERROR ZONES: THE
CURSE OF TEMAEL
Some worlds have an easier time of it, combating the Zones directly with high technology, alternative magics, superhuman powers, or divine intervention. Others are not so lucky, and must treat the Zones as natural disasters to be escaped and avoided until they go away, if they ever do. In some worlds, special teams of powerful Sex Mage soldiers and Radiants, armed to the teeth with mundane weaponry, are sent in to brave the horrors and try to shut down the Zones from within.
Pandoras are the
result of mankind's attempts to better understand the nature of Sex Magic
through scientific research and technological testing, often with disastrous
results.
In many realities of the Sex Mage Multiverse, the Pandora Research Facility is created to
attempt to discover the limits of Sex Magic's potential. Frustratingly, there
doesn't appear to be much one can actually do with the power beyond its
apparent function as a female dominant sexual control mechanism. There are
certainly many beneficial uses for its many side effects, but actually
distilling such mechanisms and applying them to other processes seems impossible.
About the only thing Sex Magic seems able to do beyond its
normal functions is the advancement of human cloning. Unfortunately, clones
created with the Magic tend to have strange quirks about them. For one, all
female clones awaken with a vicious domination streak, as if acting on some
primal instinct instilled by the Magic itself. Whether possessing a general
disdain for people or a targeted aggression against
specific persons, they seem intent on unleashing the Magic on their victims to as devastating a degree as possible. Likewise, all male clones awaken with an automatic submissive streak towards women, but an aggressive disdain for the men they were cloned from, and a general indifference to other men. It takes weeks, if not months, of mental conditioning to make such clones empathize with other humans.
For another, females awaken with Sex Mage powers already active, and their power effects can vary wildly, creating strangely powerful Glitches. Many demonstrate Archmage level powers under specific conditions, even if their abilities are otherwise limited. Males, by contrast, are often capable of generating enormous amounts of Lust Energy, on par with a Radiant, and such levels of energy can prove overwhelming for most Sex Mages to be exposed to. These radical power variations make controlling and containing them until they can be conditioned all the more difficult.
Then, there are the Abominations, cloning attempts that went completely awry, creating twisted body horror mutants and fantastical demihumans with bestial minds, intent on consuming the Lust Energy of humans at the cost of their victim's lives.
In some realities, the creation of these Pandoras lead to terrible disasters. The monsters break free and run rampant over nearby towns and cities, savagely abusing the population, if not outright killing them. Specially trained soldiers and anti-Terror Zone units are sent in to eradicate these outbreaks, and very quickly, the Pandora Facility is shut down, and further experimentation is forbidden.
Those realities are the lucky ones. In some versions of the
Sex Mage World, the culmination of Pandora Research results in the Created, a single female clone of
utterly immense power. Able to survive only by constantly consuming Lust
Energy, she triggers what is known as the Cascade
Event, a spreading storm of uncontrollable Sex Magic that sends all who are
touched by it into a coma of hyper-stimulation that exceeds mortal tolerance.
Even in the worlds where she is eventually stopped, the global population is
cut down by as much as half. The one upside to the Cascade is that it also
creates the Megami, who by and large
will protect the surviving populations by forming the Queendoms.
Despite this, sometimes Pandoras can still appear out of
nowhere. Some theorize that other facilities may have been created, or some
escapees formed their own hidden settlements in the wilderness, but subsequent
searches turn up nothing. The prevailing theory is that, just as in the legend
of Pandora herself, once the box was opened, the danger has become an inherent
part of the world. Pandoras may now simply appear as random, feral manifestations
of the Sex Magic itself.
