The Steves
What are the Steves?
The Steves are the children of Prince Valdar and are slightly different to regular Antarticoneiums. They are very unusual creatures and most of them, sadly, do not live very long lives. A bountiful supply of Steves is always kept in cryostorage at the Research Lab, and is consistently restocked with new Steves every week. Molecular cloning of the Steves is possible, but it’s better to get them directly from the source.
What makes the Steves so special?
The SRC has made amazing breakthroughs in our understanding of the universe, and created some of the most advanced technology in the galaxy. The Steves are what make everything the SRC do possible because of their extraordinary physical properties. However, all of their properties can be summarised into one single equation:
This equation is the best way of explaining the Steves, without having to spend years studying Steveology.
Steve Variations
There are few natural variations among the Steves other than height and intelligence (which is usually very low). However, various different Steves have been produced artificially by Dr. Jake at the Research Lab. Information about the Steve variations is below:
The Super-Steve - Stars are very powerful things. When they are compressed the energy builds up until it can’t be contained. While an experiment involving a compressed star was taking place, the compression stabiliser was unplugged so that the microwave could be plugged in to make popcorn. The energy build-up would have been disastrous if it wasn't fused into a Steve. This Steve, now known as the Super-Steve, is incredibly powerful and has evolved beyond the regular Steves.
The Ginger Steve -This one is pretty simple; it was a Steve that was ginger. Gingernexian DNA was spliced into that of the Steve to produce a hybrid creature. Unfortunately, when Dr. Jake looked it in the eyes, it just had to be killed. No further information is known about this particular Steve.
The Hyper-Steve - Due to the determination for progress of the SRC, tests are currently being conducted to create a being more powerful than the Super-Steve. The theory behind it is to compress a supernova surrounded by three black holes into a small capsule, while maintaining each of the components individual structures. The power from this can then be fused into a Steve to produce the Hyper-Steve. So far, no tests have been successful and one galaxy was incinerated when the compression failed.
Warrior Steves - If the SRC is involved in a war or battle, an army is required. The Warrior Steves are similar to normal Steves in appearance, but they have been given enhanced strength, speed and agility. Their brains have been modified to only obey Dr. Jake's orders, and they all have a standard communications chip installed. What they lack in skill, they make up for in numbers and blind obedience.
Ninja Steves - The only people to have seen a Ninja Steve are either Dr. Jake or dead. They were specifically designed to move undetected and kill silently. Their feather coating is entirely black, to blend into the darkness, but they can change that at will to also look like regular Steves, or to become near-invisible. Their razor-sharp flippers can slice through even the toughest skin and they can move incredibly quickly.
