Earth-256-B

The 'present day' of Earth-256-B is the tail end of the third millennium; sometime in the late 2900s, bouncing through the 2980s and 2990s, before teetering on the year 3000 and the really big thing that happens I can't tell you right now.

The mighty Earthlings have developed significantly in the technological and scientific departments and have finally become a type II civilization. Alas, the walking and talking stardust finally get a taste of the true power output of stars with dyson swarms!
Not to mention the public support for space exploration and colonization; the question of existence in its entirety has entered the limelight with the rise of the so-called astro-nuclear age!

Governments worldwide are also finally listening to the people after literal eons and millennia of suffering brought upon them by unchecked greed, selfishness, and megalomania. Living conditions get better by the day, basic necessities -- including housing -- are inexpensive, along with the pursuit of higher education. A strange obsession with fortified trains and trams have swept through the world in its entirety, but at least the scenery from the efforts to reverse climate change and habitat loss have made them true wonders to behold!

The Twin Suns shine bright as they smile down from the rose-lavender skies; their rays are full of promise... but will they be kept or swept under the rug like the rest of them?


Outer Space

The Twin Suns

The Twin Suns is a binary star system comprised of Sol and Surya. Sol is the larger of the two.

Sol is the Sun, a G-type main-sequence star. The real deal. It's just not called the Sun here because haha funny.

Surya is a small pulsar-like white dwarf orbiting Sol with a mass of 0.9 M☉, a surface temperature of 20,500 K, and a luminosity of .0185 L☉. Surya can be recognized from the blue light it emits as opposed to Sol's yellow beams. It currently harbors a Dyson swarm known as the Solarfuse.

Billet-Doux

The Billet-Doux is a natural satellite system consisting of three natural satellites (moons) orbiting Earth.

  • Soma
    • The Moon! Appears to be a large white pearl in the night sky with splotches of rusty red and navy blue. Unfortunately not made of cheese.
  • Ziwa
    • A large, staring thing... The biggest of Billet-Doux; rendered in a strange mix of white and light blue. Rocky with stretches of frozen (contaminated) water on its surface. Uninhabitable.
  • Bienviellante
    • A grand marble, indeed! It's the smallest of the Billet-Doux; Bienviellante is painted with child-like strokes of green hues. Uninhabitable. Commonly associated with fairies.

United Republic of Leathucaria

...It's America. I wanted to spite Marvel's patriotism by changing the name and making it only American through location, history, place names, and vague resemblance.
Is Steve Rogers named Captain Leathucaria? Good question! Nope. He's just Captain Caria.

Solarfuse

The Solarfuse is a Dyson swarm orbiting and harvesting the energy of Surya. It's the primary source of power for Earthlings, aside from nuclear power, and is what defines Earth as a type II civilization.

Thinking Machines

ROBOTS!! You saw this coming, right? Right? Please tell me you didn't strut over here, in this sci-fi/Marvel/video game/science nerd wonderland, without anticipating robots or some major machine influence.

There's no robot takeover or anything, the laws put into place after Ultron's reign in the 2700s ensured that.

Technology

Main article: Earthling Technology

From powered suits and weapons that look straight out of a child's depiction of sci-fi, to artificial planets and matryoshka brains! There's technology galore, but it's like all of the engineers and programmers were on crack!

Animals

Main article: Animals, Evolution, and Mechanical Infusion

There's certainly a lot of technology, isn't there? Too much, some would say.
Technology is more like an organism than a tool nowadays. Certainly makes sense, seeing how it found a way to bind itself to Earth's organisms, one by one.
