Jack of All Trades

Summary
A verse created by the one and only DMUA, which first meet the light of day in it's main character, Jack Reed.

The Beginning
As for the story? Well, it starts with The Grand Librarian. One day, he just appeared from out of nowhere, almost like just woke up from a coma, but with no memories. He wondered for awhile, how he came to be. But he found no way to gather answers. But, luckily enough, he had other matters to keep him busy. He found that he had a great power, being that of creation. For just a second after discovering this, he wondered if he was his own god. But, after a few seconds of his mind rushing, he decided to put that wondering away for good. Why question if there are powers above you when you can be a power above?

And so, he made planets, stars, skies, you know the deal. And after around 6 days of messing around with the universe, he found that creation was creating on it's own. Planets bloomed with life. So he sit, and let it grow. But somehow, from nothingness, came something else. Today we know him as the Harbinger of Death. But, The Librarian was unsuspecting, so he just watched. And, well, The Harbinger just erased his hard work instantly, turning the universe into the void as it started. In fury, The Librarian started blasting this new invader to pieces, scattering him to the wind. And so, The Librarian recreated the universe, but with a new layer upon that, The Ethereal Plane. From here, the dead can live on, and people can harness a bit of the power of creation, or as most would prefer, MAGIC! And, thus also came men who would use that magic to keep order, The Reed Family. And so, with a system in place to protect the world, The Librarian decided to kick back, and record it all, hence the name, the Grand Librarian.

World History
As for the lore of what happened in between The Beginning and where the story starts, there aren't that many notable events or at least, I don't have enough free time to write a specific timeline. I'm drowning in anime and trying to write out the main story, ain't no time for spinoffage. The reason for this, is that there is a strict rule pertaining to Reeds, and that's the fact that they will NEVER get involved in a war between countries, unless they have a very specific reason to, such as……


 * Rouge Spirits are acting as generals for a certain side
 * They are specifically drafted for the effort (Which they manage to dodge most of the time)
 * The war in question is potentially apocalyptic, and if it continues, most or all of Earths life would get wiped.

However, if anyone would like to write a story about a member of the Reed family in a historical period, I'm all ears. Just write one up on your blog, and I'll decide if it's good/consistent enough to be called Canon.

The now
Well…. I don't want to give anything away, as I am in the process of developing it, and I'll kinda need to perform a huge retcon on Jack's bio, but, to summarize, the conflict between The Harbinger of Death and the Reed Family has reached its peak. Thanks to new nutrition, technology, and some good coaching, the most powerful Reed of all time, Jack came to be. And to meet this powerhouse, the threats he faced grew immensely stronger. Eventually, The Harbinger decides that, perhaps……… now's the time to act.

Powers of the Verse
This verse has a very wide range of power, so I'll break it down.

Low tiers
Several Fodder Rouge spirits can output massive damage, being equivalent of Tens of tons of TnT exploding when they're serious, or, City Block levels of force. They can also dodge point blank gunfire, placing them at casually Hypersonic. Alittle bit higher up this chain would be the Hired Hero, Jordan Straights, who can easily output Multi-City block levels of force, and has a transformation that allows him to become city level. In his base, Jordan is around high Hypersonic, and his Transformation grants him Massively Hypersonic speeds, being able to deflect several machine guns firing at him from all around in close quarters.

Mid tier
As for the mid tier, the characters take a massive leap in power, with John Freeman being able to take down the America Busting Crismo, and his Wife, Natasha being able to match him in combative abilities. They are both Sub-Relativistic as well, as the supercar, which John outran, was calculated to be .075 times the speed of light. Further up the chain, the current generation of Reeds kick in, with Stacy being able to blow up a North America sized pocket dimension, Brian being able to destroy “False Planets”, which were the size of the moon and Norman being able to destroy several of these at once at full power. There is also Schwanzmann and Rixey, who are around the same level. Each one of these characters goes well into Relativistic due to their vast superiority to John, with Stacy being able to bend time and become FTL, or even just stop it completely. The other members are also FTL, but through the alternate means, being they just phase into the Ethereal Plane, allowing them to travel much faster. They also are able to react in this environment, so they also get FTL reactions to go with it.

Top tiers
Now, the verse takes a leap into huge destructive potential. Jack Reed, the main character, is able to drain a Dwarf Star with manipulation, and is able to fight at MFTL speeds by phasing in and out of the Ethereal Plane repeatedly throughout combat. Xander, while definitely less powerful, does scale. The restrained Harbinger of Death is also vastly superior to both, as he is able to beat down the entire family easily.

Skyfathers
Now, the biggest power leap of all. At the top of this hierarchy, we have The Harbinger of Death and The Grand Librarian. They both have Casual Universal+ feats, and the following Multiversal statement:

“Well, I mean, I guess if I really wanted to, I could make many, many other worlds…… but nah. I'm already fine with just one.”

Being that they are beings that existed before time, and can move in erased time, they both have Immeasurable speed.

Verse hax
The most notable feature of this verse is regeneration. Even Jordan Straights is capable of regenerating from their hearts, limbs, or other such pieces, as they are able to still use magic even with just their souls. Although, if they don't have enough material to work with, they can't regenerate. Although John is much stronger, his regeneration is weaker, as he's limited by the preservation of his brain. Brian's natural regen is limited in the same way, but he can regenerate from being beaten to bloody chunks with his magic. Norman has similar potency, but going up to Jack and Xander, they are capable of regenerating from no physical matter, and make a complete comeback from the destruction of their soul. Lastly, The Harbinger of Death is able to regenerate from even soul based destruction.

There are other haxish abilities, mostly for skyfathers, such as subatomic matter manipulation, power nullification, and many more to be detailed later, when the series is at such a point.

Terminology
The Ethereal Plane: The power source for all magic users. It's where all souls reside, and all those whom have died wander.

Soul: The truth of one's being. While most believe that would be the mind, in this case, the truth of the matter is that the mind is a conduit of your thoughts, which are based on the soul. Thanks to this property, Jack and the Reed Family as a whole can regenerate despite the destruction of the head, and can read thoughts, in some cases bypassing mental barriers.

Bone Steel: The metal used for the weaponry of the Reed Family. If crafted correctly, if can handle a Foe of force point blank.
