Earth Reforming Calamity

Description:

The main event that made the world the way it is now, and is responsible for almost everything that has and does now occur within this world. It's what reshaped the entire face of the earth, brought the new creatures, and caused the world to go from ordinary to magical.

History:

Leading up to the start were many events and such, with the events with Ethan Dowisekor and Evan Howitzer that occurred during the first rise of Caliber users. They delayed the many research attempts to discover how to weaponize these Calibers to greater lengths. Emphasis on delayed. Soon after these events (in 2038 & 2039), Calibers were successfully weaponized in 2047. Tensions between countries immediately rose and civilization became heavily unsteady. Eventually a country (unknown) performed the first attack and utter pandemonium broke out in 2050, resulting in World War 3, also known as the Earth Reforming Calamity. Though many nuclear bombs were used, most countries used and tested other weapons, believing them to be much more effective at ridding their enemies but keeping the land intact, due to many of them prioritizing the new energies discovered. This resulted in the world being the way that it was, rather than many hundreds of thousands of nukes forever and permanently destroying the earth. The war lasted more officially ten years, when the earth was so destroyed that humanity dug into the earth, building many thousands of bunkers, all interconnected and kept cool from the earths heat by advanced cooling systems, the war 'ended' in the sense of fighting, but the consequences would last for thousands of years.
Though this period isn't officially considered the Earth Reforming Calamity, much of the earth's healing and change from ordinary to magical occurred during this time period. Often times other articles will reference how 'during the Earth Reforming Calamity, the sheer amount of decay and radiation..." will do certain things. This is residue energy (the same in The Core-Energies System / Calibers) used by many weapons of mass destruction that seeped into various objects and creatures, transforming them as the weak ones died off from it, and the strong ones changed to adapt to it. Even the Homo Sapiens were not safe from it in the bunkers, as the energy seeped into the earth, allowing them powers known as Calibers, while also causing the plants these human raised to grow out of control into the Earth's Heart. More than two thousand yeas later, humans emerged from their bunkers, officially ending the Earth Reforming Calamity, and started what was called the New Age, or Post Earth Reforming Calamity (PERC).

Weapons:

The entire list of known weapons used during the war is unknown, but the known list gives an idea of just how destruction, desperate, and cruel humanity got right before its great reset. Nukes and classic weapons were used, though not being the major ones, which are listed below.

Zeus Bomb:

This is a large bomb, spherical and roughly the size of a mini-cooper car. It's dropped like an atomic bomb, but detonates two hundred feet in the air. Upon exploding, it generates massive amounts of electricity and produces the absolute worst supercell storms that completely destroy any forests, structures, or people with lightning. The favorable feature of this weapon, is that the storm would be carried on the wind for a very long distance, causing a massive path of destruction, which was perfect for big countries or needing to hit multiple countries at once. The storms would usually last in total around two weeks, but would only last in a specific area for two days.

PSMG:

Stands for Psychotic Sulfur Mustard Gas. A type of missile (shaped like a classic missile) that explodes high above a city, spraying many thousands of small metal orbs that crash into ever place possible in the city. Once ever orb has settled on the ground, they will each spray enough gas to cover an area of three hundred square feet. Anyone who breaths in the gas will almost immediately be in severe pain. A few moments later and they will pass out, couple minutes after that and they're fully dead. Should anyone make it out of the gas after passing out somehow, their mind will be messed up so much that upon waking, will try and kill everything around them, having gone completely insane from the damage their brains have sustained. The gas also dissipates into water systems and the ground, poisoning it and leaving it unhealthy and changed for decades to come.

Bio-Bomb:

A bomb that is heavily weaponized Bio-Energy. Shaped like a missile, but more fat than long, and usually colored green with large fins on the back. This bomb detonates right above the surface (usually 3-5 feet above ground) to maximize the damage. Upon detonation, ungodly amounts of Bio-Energy is unleashed, causing many millions of people to die via simply overloading and dropping dead, their Calibers firing off violently to kill those around them as well as damage the environment, and so on. Those far enough away would only be hit by enough Bio-energy to have their brains fried to a catatonic state, or their Calibers fire off violently to cripple them. The immediate area around the bomb is vaporized in perfect circle with a radius of thirty feet. Massive amounts of Bio-Energy remains at the sight, wafting in every direction and due to its usage, it causes whatever living thing (that survived) that it infects to go berserk and most often die. This bomb was the biggest cause of the consequences for the magical world.

Medusa:

A bomb that looks like an over-sized grenade. Upon detonation, the bomb glows so bright, anyone within twenty miles looking directly at it is blinded. Though this doesn't matter much, since anyone within a fifteen mile radius is immediately petrified, their whole bodies either turning to, or being replaced by, or covered in solid stone. How this was achieved is completely unknown, and whether the humans who were petrified still remained alive despite their state is also unknown, due to it being thousands of years before investigation could take place. In rare cases, instead of being petrified, an individual might have their flesh burnt off entirely, leaving the bones which become petrified. Any petrified individuals have only roughly a few moments before the process completes and they are stuck forever.

Doomsday:

A bomb much like the Bio-Bomb, but much more sinister, cruel, and sickening. This bomb looks the same but colored solid black with a red skull painted on it. It detonates the same, but with Dark-Energy. This corrupts and sickens the land, forever cursing it. Any individuals caught in the blast radius die the most horrible deaths, much more violent than from the Bio-Bomb. To elucidate how terrible this bomb is, some individuals literally had their insides take the place of their skin. For other individuals, they were overcome with such a nasty disease that their minds became empty and they were taken over by carnal hunger. Think rabies on steroids to almost make zombies. The land also kills any plants that attempt to grow here, and those that touch it feel nauseous and sick. Many think this is where Dunkelheit first formed.

BHAD:

Stands for Black Hole Annihilation Device. How it works is unknown, but it is known what it does. It usually detonates around three hundred feet above a city, and will create a small blackhole, roughly the size of a basketball, that immediately tears up anything within a 10-mile radius before collapsing. Anything not sucked into the blackhole before it collapses will fall to the ground raining dangerous debris, dealing further damage. Any individuals caught in its gravity-well will immediately feel immense pain as their body is ripped apart as its dragged to the blackhole. Any who managed to survive by avoiding being sucked in, will be entirely crippled, unable to move any part of their body, let alone breath on their own, causing a slow, painful, and terrifying death.

Cryo-Nuke:

A type of weapon that's either dropped from an aircraft, or transported via van to its target location. It's long, rod-like and silver container (being roughly seven feet tall and fifteen feet long) with the tip painted bright blue, and multiple panels barely seen on the side. Upon detonation, the panels open and freezing cold gas is blasted through them to spread over a rough area of seventeen-square-miles. Everything the gas touches instantly freezes over, causing living things to be frozen solid (and dead) with their corpse completely preserved, and any material thats frozen to be entirely brittle and weak. If multiple Cayo-Nukes are used together, the area of effect and amount of cold will increase exponentially, meaning six Cayo-Nukes together can cover much more area total than they could separately.

Demons:

Though not officially weapons, Homo Saurus / Demons were a massive cause of much damage during the war. The many Calibers they possessed would often be boosted to levels that caused massive damage, both to the user and the environment around them. These Calibers would often cause lasting damage, either by corruption, or leaving massive amounts of energy hanging abou. When locked in battle, these demons (either from exhaustion, death, or overusing too many Calibers) would practically explode like a bomb, causing massive damage and leaving their ungodly amount of energy hanging around, causing further (and lasting) damage.
