In order to clearly understand where I am coming form, I will give you a brief history of universe according to this story.
The Young Universe: The Beginning,the Birth of the Alpine, and the Creation of Demigods
"Demigod" literally means half god ("demi" meaning half and "god" meaning, well, god), and that’s exactly what they are: half gods. Even though they can be created by a god and a human giving birth to a child, demigods created like this are far and few in between. The actual demigod race was created by the Alpine: the first mortal race.
When the big bang occurred there was a lot of energy left over and this energy transformed itself into an ultimate being. This being called him self Thirindale and he is who is known as the Archgod. It was he who created all the gods and goddess that currently reside in this realm. The gods and goddesses created servants for themselves known as angels and demons. The angels and demons were the first beings to settle into the mortal universe, but they were not mortal. The angel and the demons had separate civilizations that warred with each other for control of the universe. It was this constant feuding that crippled their development and eventually reduced both civilizations to primitive tribes. It wasn’t until 4000 years later that the universe would give birth to the first race of mortal beings: the Alpine.
The gods were all surprised because they didn’t think the universe was capable of creating things. Unlike them, the Alpine only lived for 40 – 50 years and when they died, their minds were recycled and entered other bodies (it was a form of reincarnation). The gods were not familiar with death because they lived forever. They asked Thirindale about it and he told them that they cannot die because they are all minds without bodies. They continued to watch the Alpine closely and saw them do something they had never thought of: develop technology. The gods never needed technology because they could do whatever they wanted with little to no effort.
After 20,000 years, the Alpine started traveling to other planets (something else that gods were unfamiliar with because their universe did not have planets and they did not need machines to travel long distances). The Alpine discovered angels and demons during their interstellar expeditions. At first they were dissected and studied, something the gods disapproved of, but Thirindale told them that it was not their place in intervene in the affairs of the mortal universe. They learned from the angels about immortality and gods, two things they had never heard of before. Despite the numerous dissections DNA analysis performed on the angels they had come across, little was known about them. 200 years later, the Alpine discovered entire planets inhabited by angels and demons. They were impressed by the strength and durability of both races and started using them as slaves. It was during this time period that the Alpine became increasing interested in extending the length of their lives, which, despite all their technology, as still less than 100 years. They started doing more experiments on angels and demons and even took DNA samples. At first there was little to no success until one Alpine finally mapped the angel genome. Demons were then thrown into obscurity and all of the genetic research focused on angels.
The Alpine were amazed by all the natural advantages angels had over their race. They came in many colors (all of which were shades of brown) and had skin instead of the scales the alpine had. They were also extremely adaptable and didn’t required the almost tropical climate Alpine needed to survive (they later figured out that this was because their blood was warm). Their brains were also larger. At this time Alpine looked more like reptiles than the humanoid forms we currently know them to have. It was all the genetic research on angels that caused them to splice the DNA of the angels with their own. After 100 years, the form of the Alpine had completely changed and they looked very similar to angels. The only difference was that they didn’t have wings and maintained the advantages of their previous form (stronger bone structure, telepathy, and the ability to run faster and jump higher). This also added a considerable amount of years to their lifespan. Instead of living only 40 or 50 years, they could live for 200-250 years.
It was 500 years after this that the Alpine first started experimenting with creating life. Their first attempt at making sentient life failed. The species wasn’t as intelligent as they hoped and only lived for 5 years. Their second attempt had more success. The second species was created in their image, but was considerably weaker. This species was known as Humans. They didn’t live very long by Alpine standards (60 – 80 years), but they were very intelligent and adaptable. After 10,000 years of watching and analyzing this race they decided that it was time to set them free. There weren’t very many of them (only about 9,000) so they easily fit on one of the Alpine’s Megacarriers. They were to be dropped off on Earth and thought the basics of those to run their civilization, but something went wrong and the ship crashed on the planet instead and all contact was lost. The Human race was presumed dead.
During the 10,000 years that they were watching the Humans they had created, they had managed to get a hold of god DNA. After they lost contact with the humans, they started working on another race. They hoped to splice god DNA with this other race before the used it on themselves. They recreated the Human race, but this time with god DNA. The first generation of this race was very brittle and died out after a few months. 50 years later, the Alpine tried again and succeeded. They realized that this race would be a lot stronger than they were so they developed a material that could be fired in a beam of light or could be used to make containment facilities. The name of this material was Starklite. Simply touching this material would dissolve the flesh of a demigod, but was harmless to Alpine.
The demigod were amazing because they stopped aging once the reached their peak, which was around 18 -25, depending on which species of demigod they were. After 20,000 years the Alpine gained enough knowledge about them to splice their own DNA with that of a god’s. This allowed the Alpine to become gods and after 100 years of getting used their status, they set the demigods free (with no technical difficulties) on a planet named Marius and left the mortal universe to go to the universe they had created for themselves, and so began the Demigod civilization.
