Variants

I really wanted to do a bit of an infodump on some Shadow Guard stuff so here we are.

A variant is the term used to describe a person with superpowers in this universe. Their abilities can be anything from shapeshifting to pyrokinesis to super speed. Variants normally have one ability, but can have more (not counting any secondary abilities caused by their first, like a shapeshifter having better senses). Abilities are genetic. Variants are born with their powers. Many variants are born to entirely human parents, however as time goes on, more and more are born to either a human and variant parents or two variant parents. A child with a human and variant parent will normally end up having powers, but it is possible for them to not end up with powers. A child where both parents are variants will always end up with powers.

Variant abilities are often passed down genetically, although they do crop up where two humans are the parents, and no one entirely knows why. Children born with a variant parent(s) who end up with powers will either have the same ability (or a similar ability) to one of their parents. Sometimes they may end up with versions of both of their parent’s powers if they were both variants but usually they will be weaker versions of those powers. They can also end up with entirely different abilities from their parents, but that is not common.

Variant powers normally manifest just before puberty, although some have their powers manifest earlier or later. Sometimes variants will be able to use a very weak version of their power until they reach a certain age where they then are able to use a stronger version.

Most of the stories in the world so far take place in the UK btw, so different areas of the world reacted to variants differently, but I’ll probably go more into that in another post.

Variants were rumoured to exist for a long time, however the first comfirmed variants appeared in World War 1, where some variants decided to become the first superheroes and supervillains (or at least the first ones known to the public). Now variants ended up with a very mixed reputation after WW1 and WW2. This led to the creation of the Variant Protection Act. This meant that any time a variant’s powers manifested, they were required by law to report that they were a variant and what their abilities are, although many variants are not recorded due to many fearing them so parents hiding the fact their children had abilities. While the VPA did eventually state that no variant should be discriminated against, it does hapoen fairly often especially if the variant’s ability causes them to have a non-human appearance. Variants are banned from all sporting competitions, and many are not allowed to join the military, police or emergency services in general as many beleive their abilities would be a risk.

Normal humans often feared variants due to media reporting far more on criminal variants and in general a lot of misinformation was spread. Some religions also deemed variants as evil due to their abilities. Superhero work (well, specifically vigilante work) is deemed illegal, similar to how it is in our world, however the penalties against variants are much worse than normal humans as they carry much longer sentences. This is until the late 90s, where the original Shadow Guard are the only reason the police were able to catch up to the dangerous team known as the Mercury Guild, but that puts superhero work into a grey area where it ends up being up to the police in the area if they want to arrest them or not.

Trapped Family in Gaza Appeals for Help to Survive

A Plea for Help from Gaza: A Family Seeking Safety

We live in the midst of the ongoing hellish war in Gaza, trapped between walls of fear and despair.

We struggle daily to survive in an environment filled with threats and dangers.

We are originally from Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, but at the beginning of the war we were displaced several times without any shelter. Our house was completely destroyed, and we are now homeless.

We urgently appeal for your moral and financial assistance to cover the necessary costs for escaping to a safe environment, where we can build a better future for our children and ensure our family's safety.

We are in desperate need of your support. Any donation, no matter how small, can help save our lives. Thank you for your attention and support during these harsh times.

DON'T GO ON HAMAS.//////COM

I recently saw tweets about this website called Hamas .com.

It is a site made by Israel to steal your information.

Its just another way that Israel will harm Palestinians by making a fake website to confuse advocates

I really like horror as fiction, but @tamer200333's sister is living through a real-life horror movie. She suffers from pulmonary fibrosis and needs treatment. She is in very poor condition and needs donations to be able to get medicine and treatment.

So please don't vote without reblogging or donating. Imagine struggling to breathe amid a genocide and having people scroll away the moment they read your story. Don't do that.

Story written by @fabricated-pessimist

In Gaza, hundreds of thousands of parents are left speechless as they endure the countless atrocities inflicted upon their children. For many families, they lose their child before they even have the chance to truly know them—their dreams, their aspirations.

The Alamoudi family longed for a child for years. After enduring four grueling rounds of IVF, they were finally blessed with twins. But their joy was short-lived. As the war raged on, their baby, Ahmed, was born with urgent medical needs—holes in his heart requiring immediate surgery. On top of this, he suffers from nerve damage in his eye. Yet his parents are powerless, unable to seek the medical care he desperately needs, forced to watch helplessly as their child’s condition deteriorates by the day.

Imagine being a parent, filled with love and hope, only to realize that your child is being denied the medical attention they deserve because of an inhumane crisis. Ahmed’s father, Sharif, is unable to work overseas due to a herniated disc that causes severe spinal and nerve pain. As of this writing, their campaign has gone without donations for a long time.

We implore you—please, consider donating. Even the cost of a daily coffee could bring this family a moment of peace in their desperate fight to save their child.

You can donate to the Alamoudi family’s GoFundMe campaign [HERE].

🌍✨ A Voice from Gaza: Fighting for Hope ❤️‍🩹

Hi, my name is Mosab , and I’m from Gaza. Life here has been harder than I could ever imagine, but today I’m sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.

This journey hasn’t been easy. The war has taken 25 family members from us—25 beautiful souls we loved deeply. Their laughter, their presence, their love… all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.

Our Journey So Far

When I first reached out, I couldn’t have imagined we’d make it this far. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.

But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, we’re reminded of how much we’ve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.

Here’s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:

🏠 Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.

😢 Loss: The absence of the 25 family members we’ve lost is a pain we carry every moment.

💔 Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.

How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:

$5 may seem small, but for us, it’s a little relief, a moment of comfort, and a reminder that kindness still exists. ❤️

Can’t donate? Reblog this post to help us reach someone who can. Every share matters more than you know.

Thank you for helping us get this far. Your generosity and compassion have already brought us closer to a better tomorrow, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful.

You Can Help Save Hammad and his Family; Support His Quest for Safety and Freedom

Campaign organizer notes at the bottom.

VETTED BY ASSOCIATION; Hammad was referred to me through Safaa and her campaign (vetted by 90-ghost)

This campaign is created on behalf of a very valuable and dear friend of mine, Hammad A., who is dealing with devastating tragedy and loss that none of us in the empirical core could possibly begin to imagine.

Hammad is one of the most thoughtful, considerate, and hard-working people I know -- and while he has tried his best to provide for his family under these immensely difficult circumstances, he now needs our help to keep him and his family alive.

Picture this: Your life has been turned upside down instantly; everything you have worked your whole life for -- gone in an instant. Everything you once knew turned to rubble and destruction. Your home, where you grew up and created childhood memories with -- gone. Your job, where you dedicated your energy and effort into building a career you loved -- gone. The most basic necessities we take for granted -- warmth, fresh air, the ability to move around freely and safely -- ripped away from you.

These are only a few of the difficulties that Hammad and his family have been facing for over 464 days. 

As you understand by now, there is only so much resilience the human body can endure, and the urgent need to do anything you can to save your family is the exact reason Hammad has allowed us the opportunity to help him and his family be freed from the immense suffering and stress they currently face.

His tent was recently flooded, damaging the little items that he had after losing everything, and destroying the little shelter he and his family had to protect them against the harsh elements.

Hammad needs your help NOW.

Even the smallest amount is so highly valuable in lifting a margin of stress from the weight of this tragedy off the shoulders of Hammad and his family. Your contributions to these lifesaving funds are invaluable. 

Chuffed has a waiting period for processing and transferring funds. If you want your donation to IMMEDIATELY be sent to Hammad, paypal is linked below.
