CRACK ON STEEL
INTRODUCTION
Before we start, here's an introduction to the subgenre of this story.
Zodiac Dominion is a new subgenre that blends the mystical influence of zodiac signs with the hierarchical and instinctual dynamics similar to the Omegaverse. In this universe, society is divided based on the twelve zodiac signs, each governing distinct traits, powers, and social roles.
(I wanted to try out something new, so there might be quite a few errors but let's not focus our attention on that. Do well to read the intro chapters so you don't miss anything.)
In Zodiac Dominion, individuals are born under one of the twelve zodiac signs, which dictates their personality, abilities, and position within society. Each sign has a corresponding Dominion that shapes its members’ instincts, relationships, and social standing. The signs are further divided into Leaders, Mediators, Nurturers, and Builders, creating a complex web of power and interdependence.
Aries, Leo, Sagittarius (Fire Signs - Leaders):Traits: Bold, passionate, and fiercely independent, members of the Fire Dominion are the natural leaders of the Zodiac Dominion. They are driven by ambition and a strong desire to protect and lead their communities.
Social Role: As Leaders, they are at the top of the hierarchy, akin to Alphas in Omegaverse. They command respect and are often responsible for guiding their groups during times of crisis or change. Their fire element grants them the ability to inspire and command with charisma.
Zodiacal Drive: During the "Inferno Phase," Fire Signs experience a surge of energy and leadership instincts, driving them to assert their dominance and secure their position within the social order. This phase is marked by intense focus, ambition, and a need to protect those they care about.
Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces (Water Signs - Nurturers):Traits: Deeply intuitive, emotional, and compassionate, members of the Water Dominion are the healers and nurturers. They possess the ability to connect with others on a profound level, often serving as the emotional core of society.
Social Role: As Nurturers, they are the caregivers and the ones who maintain the emotional balance within the Dominion, similar to Omegas. They are valued for their empathy and their ability to create and maintain deep emotional bonds. Water Signs can heal, soothe, and bring calmness to the turbulent world.
Zodiacal Drive: During the "Tide Calling," Water Signs enter a period of heightened emotional and nurturing instincts. They are driven to care for and bond deeply with others, often creating strong emotional connections that influence the entire community. This phase is marked by increased sensitivity and empathy.
Gemini, Libra, Aquarius (Air Signs - Mediators):Traits: Intellectual, communicative, and adaptable, members of the Air Dominion are the thinkers and communicators. They possess a keen sense of balance and justice, often serving as mediators and advisors within the Zodiac Dominion.
Social Role: As Mediators, Air Signs hold a crucial role in maintaining harmony between the Leaders and Nurturers, akin to Betas. They are known for their ability to see multiple perspectives and find solutions to complex problems. Air Signs have the power to influence thoughts and ideas, making them essential for diplomacy and conflict resolution.
Zodiacal Drive: During the "Zephyr Cycle," Air Signs experience a surge in intellectual and communicative energy, driving them to negotiate, mediate, and bring clarity to difficult situations. This phase is marked by heightened curiosity, creativity, and a desire to connect with others.
Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn (Earth Signs - Builders):Traits: Practical, patient, and dependable, members of the Earth Dominion are the builders and protectors of the Zodiac Dominion. They are responsible for creating stability and ensuring the sustainability of their society.
Social Role: As Builders, Earth Signs are responsible for maintaining the physical and societal structures that keep the Zodiac Dominion functioning. They are often seen as the foundation upon which the other signs rely, providing the stability and support needed for the community to thrive. Earth Signs can control and manipulate physical matter, creating and maintaining the world around them.
Zodiacal Drive: During the "Gaia Awakening," Earth Signs are driven to build, create, and sustain. This phase is marked by an increase in productivity and a strong desire to establish lasting legacies, whether through physical structures or lasting traditions and also connecting with others.
Zodiac Bonds: In Zodiac Dominion, individuals can form "Celestial Bonds" with compatible signs, creating deep, mystical connections that enhance their powers and influence. These bonds are not just emotional but also cosmic, allowing individuals to share and amplify their zodiacal abilities.
Celestial Cycles and Conflicts: The interaction among the various Dominions creates a lot of tension in the story. Leaders may try to establish control, while Mediators work to maintain balance, and Nurturers aim to protect their bonds, resulting in intricate and dynamic relationships.
Zodiacal Phases: Every sign experiences a unique phase (Inferno Phase, Tide Calling, Zephyr Cycle, Gaia Awakening) that amplifies its instincts and powers. These phases play a pivotal role in the storyline, shaping character relationships, societal roles, and the overarching conflicts within the Zodiac Dominion.
