Kryptonian (D20 Modern Class)
- Kryptonian Hero
Description
One of the last survivors from the destroyed planet Krypton. Though at dead end of evolution ,Krypton had a great civilization based a planet whose ecosystem and very energies was self-destructive. On their own planet Kryptonians where nothing like humanity and crystal life populated the forests. The Kryptonians bodies where as flawed as their planet was. Because of a religious taboo against leaving their home-world only a few Kryptonians left their home world. On krypton they where as dying as the planet. On Earth, taking the forms of human bodies they would cure themselves of the disease. Also in a human form they would gain powers never dreamed of on Krypton because the human race though weak is compatible with Kryptonian biology.
They are not human, but not entirely alien either and the synthesis of that is superhuman.
Allegiance
Any but Most Kryptonians doesn't not truly think like humans and adopt extreme allegiances to allow them to be themselves. Most have natural heroic personalities but pretend to be more human.
