Starcross

Starcross is a verse created by Promestein.

Summary
On Starcross' Earth, the existence of magic drove human technology forwards by leaps and bounds, although some things remained consistent in the times they were discovered. Although magic remained scarce on the planet (more due to complexity than anything else), it still spread, driving magic further and further across the planet. With the advent of the nuclear age, however, one young girl in Texas died after a faulty nuclear test, only around 9 years before the first AI would be created. Eventually, this girl - risen again as a ghost - possessed the incomplete core of a military AI in search of immortality, and power. Christening herself SOLSTICE, she was driven forwards by her newfound militaristic urges, making up for her lack of understanding in magic by manipulating and using a young civilian AI named EQUINOX. With a new magical artifact set in her chest, SOLSTICE would eventually turn Earth into a barren, nuclear wasteland, before her physical body was struck down by a vengeful EQUINOX.

From there, what remained of humanity took the stars and left their cradle behind, while SOLSTICE nursed her wounds and planned for her own return.

Power of the Verse
The verse is quite powerful possessing great speed, formidable hax (such as subatomic, cellular, conceptual, and soul manipulation), and destructive capacity comparable to the likes of Dragon Ball Z and GT. All the mages in the setting draw upon the power of Fantasy, a universe that exists parallel to Reality (the normal universe), formed out of the subconsciousness, beliefs, and knowledge of all intelligent life. Fantasy has existed as long as intelligent life has existed in Reality, and through drawing on its power, witches can use their magic. Powerful mages have access to powerful reality warping that lets them defy and rewrite physics as they please, although typically only within a small area and only for short periods of time.
