The Creation Project - Jupiter Branch

About 10 years after the first Created was "born", The Creation Project, still under the eye of the mysterious Creator, got split into three branches - Jupiter, Neptune, and Pluto. Each of the branches showed a different approach towards dealing with the Beasts and tried creating the strongest specimens in a way that reflected their philosophy.  

Created of the Jupiter branch

Compared to the other branches, Jupiter doesn't experiment as much. Before making another Created, they try to eliminate any possible flaws from their genetic material. As such, their ratio of Failed Ones to functioning Created stands proudly at 1 to 3. But it comes at a price since Jupiter has the lowest number of Created among all three branches.   Jupiter wants their Created to be perfectly trained embodiments of strength. As such, most of them look like living Greek and Renaissance statues.  

Trials

Similarly to the Created of Neptune, the ones from Jupiter are regularly tested. But while Neptune keeps their tests and exams private, Jupiter turned theirs into a public competition, the Olympic Games (mixed with survivor trials) of superhumans. The results of those games and exams testing the brains of the Created are then summed together and depending on the score, the Created gets their rank.  

Names

All of the Created of Jupiter are named after the great heroes and gods out of mythology, tales, and sometimes great historical figures.  

Powers

The Created of Jupiter tend to have powers that either enhance their bodies in some way or are very flashy. Should they fight a Beast, their strategy is to try to overwhelm it with strength and look great doing so, becoming something like superheroes for the common people.  

Personalities

The Created of the Jupiter branch tend to be the most narcissistic, egotistical, and prideful of all the Created. They help others only to bask in their compliments and admiration. One needs to watch out when fighting against them as doing anything that might make them feel weak or stupid makes them feel furious, with some of them falling into what could be called a berserker's rage.  

Golem

Jupiter only has one Golem, the so-called Colossus. Apparently, it is kept within a giant suit of armor that makes it more "presentable". The last version of Colossus was made using the genetic material that came from the largest of the Beasts, Typhon.

Disbandment

The rebellion of 6, also known as "Volf", the Created of Pluto branch and his assassinations of all the members of the ruling committee led to a quick downfall of The Creation Project. With it, all of the branches fell apart, mostly due to infighting between the Created. It is unknown whether any of them survived through Extinction.

Equipment

The small number of the Created and many sponsorship deals related to their "Olympics" let Jupiter equip their creations with the best and newest technologies and weapons. The Created often have customized suits to enhance their superhero personas even more.  

Mercenary work

Besides the normal mercenary work all of the Created participate in, the ones from Jupiter are often sent to the locations of catastrophes and cataclysms.  

Media presence

To earn more money for their projects, Jupiter tries to make their Created into something similar to comic heroes or wrestling personas. Their Created can show up in ads, movies, and on many brands of products. Some of their missions are live-streamed, and people can look into the statistics of each one of them.
