Editing Magical Realm Cyoa/Megalodonia (section)

==Science, Technology and Magitech==

===Science===

The rapidly growing and evolving magical wildlife and its careful meticulous study and analysis, ensures Megalodonia has a sophisticated understanding and development of biology, biochemistry, chemistry and related alchemic magic. While their muscle magic philosophy gives them great focus in the fields of kinesiology; anything and everything involving muscles.

===Technology and Magitech===

All the technology of a futuristic modern era civilization exists in Megalodonia in addition to magitech, they are manufactured with very high stress and strain tolerances and with many protective safety measures in place so the devices and machines can operate in the harsh and often extreme conditions of the Megalodonian wilderness reliably, at the cost of increased weight and size to accommodate the large stature of its people. 

Added benefit of the sophisticated understanding of kinesiology ensures the devices and machines are very ergonomically well designed. Thus, user friendliness, functionality combined with extreme tolerances, durability, with very long endurance and lifespans are often hallmarks of Megalodonian engineering at the cost of being large and ponderous.

===Power Sources===

Megalodonian technology, science and magitech are powered by the natural resources of the land. The biological and magical properties of the flora and fauna are exploited and domesticated to power technology and magitech alike. 

The abdomens of the plasma bombardier beetles are harnessed, the poisonous thorn barbed lumber of the kilometer tall exploding dynamite trees are harvested for clean burning fuel and the metastablized hydrogen metal of Hell Razor Rhino hide and the shimmering fleece of Shrapnel Cotton Sheep are carefully studied and cultivated. 

Industrial, organic and by-product wastes are recycled efficiently through complicated food chains of predators preying on other predators, fungi and bacterial decomposition and recycling. 

Hydrogen fuel cells, fuel rods, nuclear fission and fusion, plasma generators are also commonly utilized with anti-matter technology currently in experimental development. 

Solar cells, muscle magic, cardiovascular bioelectrical and pure kinetic energy serve as common power sources for hand held devices and gadgets.

===Information Technology===

Information technology exist in Meglodonia in the form of quantum computers networked to communication leylines, in massive nodes of interwoven runic crosses and knots maintained by Mountain Guardian technicians. Since inscribing and etching thousands of runes by hand is a arduous and time consuming task, much of Megalodonian's computational power is centralized, accessed and partitioned out to each citizen via cloud computing.

Conventional computers also exist but are rarely used in small closed networks or for military purposes as the archiac hardware and software architecture (or musculature) is exploited to protect secrets.

Software and computer programs are created and manipulated by the flow of kinesionic energy through alchemic Muscular Utility Interfaces or MUIs. The collective interfacing platform is simulated by nanoscale muscle fiber transistors, that contract and relax to process ternary based codes, to reflect the trinity of body, mind and spirit existing in even lifeless and cold thinking machines. 

These muscle fiber CPUs can be overclocked with kinesionic energy overflow, their performance is directly proportional to how skilled a muscle wizard programmer is at muscle flow manipulation. 

The normal Megalodonian citizen simply relies on the quantum computing network through user interface monitors with very little or no computational power.

Likewise, the interacting hardware portion is usually a touch panel screens of sensory receptor diode arrays wired to optical muscle fibers that modulate light via contraction to create icon displays. More advanced carbon nanotube based optical muscle fibers can project modulated light and lasers as holograms.

Megalodonians can access their quantum computing cloud networks through fixed minimalist designed desktop or table stations to mobile laptop, tablet, data slate and smartphone like monitor devices, the user interfaces are powered by the individual's own kinesionic energy flow or cardiac bio-electricity through skin contact. 

Although crime in Megalodonia is minimal, rival IT guilds and rune clans have fought, stole and pirated each other's proprietary software and hardware components following a strict gentleman warrior's code of conduct. The hackers, computer and runic network leyline specialists who are responsible, are known as techno vikings and techno valkyries and they come in three varieties:

Black marauders are hackers that violate security in the self interest of their respective guilds and are tasked with raiding and pillaging. 

White marauders are computer network experts that are tasked to finding and fixing security holes in the software, guarding and retrieving. 

Finally grey marauders are freelancers that dabble in white and black marauding ambiguously. 

Despite the criminal nature of these activities, every form of marauding techno viking and valkyrie is motivated by the challenge and enjoyment of what they do best. It is from their ranks and great clashes of runic artifice and electronic networked muscle that the mountain guardians select the most worthy of rune technician recruits, thus the chaos is actively encouraged by guilds, clans, mountain guardians and spectators alike.

===Land Crawlers===

Land crawlers, enormous tractor behemoths designed to carry a hundred thousand tonnes of goods and supplies across hundreds and thousands of kilometers of uncharted wilderness or to spearhead expeditions. 

These tracked land ships are well armored and bristling with weaponry, engineered to fight off the malicious nature, keeping its cargo bays, crew and investments save at all costs. 

These machines can endure extremely hostile environments for many years at a time; they come equipped with self-sustaining oxygen, food and water supplies for its operating crew. 

They are powered by nuclear fission or fusion reactors coupled to plasma generators, allowing these machines to move at a maximum speed of 250 mph.

===Mass Drivers, Space Exploration and Colonization===

On the fringe of the vast Megalodonian mountain ranges, are massive rotary turret systems of a dozen mass drivers each, called Stonehenge artillery networks.

These launchers are hidden in small hollowed out mountains with barrels that run their entire length from base to peak. Wired to navigating and targeting supercomputers, these massive guns are designed to deliver hardened probes and explorer drones into space at relativistic speeds, utilizing a hybrid system of electromagnetic rails with metallic hydrogen or plasma propellant. 

The probes are equipped with warheads containing genetically and alchemically engineered, relatively benign strains of various Megalodonian wildlife, purposely bred and cultivated to rapidly terraform barren planets with fertility, breathable atmospheres and self sustaining ecosystems, infusing lifeless planets with Megalodonia’s thematic feral essence. 

The probes are designed to crater targeted planets, release its living payload, set up surveillance and monitor the terraformation, updating its findings to mission command back home through the leyline network.

Once a planet is sufficiently terraformed, the probe will send the appropriate runic signal with its coordinates back to mission command; various networked observatory outposts situating on scattered mountain peaks. 

Muscle wizard porters and artificers will then be commissioned to triangulate and open portals to the probe’s location. Once the portals open and stabilize, colonization can commence. 

Megalodonia’s moon Lobos has been completely terraformed and several small but rapidly expending city states are prospering on its surface.

Numerous probes have been launched periodically over the decades, dictated by the decisions of the muscle wizard summit meetings. Currently, several probes have made touchdown on Jupiter’s many moons and terraforming efforts continue on schedule.

===Alchemic Muscle Engines===

The most common type of engine powering small personal locomotion, flying and sailing vehicles are alchemic muscle engines, pieces of magitech with every few moving parts designed to convert muscle magic into every conceivable form of propulsion.

An general alchemic engine system consists of three parts, input, converter and output components. The input and converter components are carved with alchemic seals and circles of power with archaic symbols weaving like circuitry. 

All Megalodonian alchemic engines are powered directly by muscle magic or when that is lacking, pure kinetics and bio-electric pulses of the body and heart serving as auxiliary power.

The input component can be as simple as cycling pedals and handles, to target panels for the projection of muscle magic , kinetic and bio-electric energy through fists, open palms and feet, to more elaborate minimalist exercise and weight lifting interfaces.

The main interface is the site where the vehicle is primarily fueled and is generally located in the storage compartment or trunk; at the back or sides of the vehicle. A secondary interface exists on the dashboard right next to the operating apparatus of a vehicle, allowing the delivery of quick jolts of energy while the whole vehicle is in motion. In addition, the input and converter components are integrated with capacitors and batteries, stored as space efficient fuel cells and rods.

The converter is a set of alchemic sealed couplings that convert raw muscle magic, kinetic or bio-electric energy through transmutation and delivers the new form of energy to the output, ensuring 100% conversation and efficiency. 

Finally the output component is any form of conventional motor; from combustion, electric, to jet turbines and if the output engine is rudimentary and compatible enough with the base input energy supply, kinetic and bio-electric energy is directly passed on into it.

===Portal Gauntlets/Gloves===

Inter-realm transportation in Megalodonia is handled through temporary portals activated by gauntlets or gloves that channel raw kinesionic energies to literally tear a secure hole through space-time. The size and duration of the portals depending how much kinesionic energy is utilized, the shape of the portals and porting coordinates are adjustable by a interface display.

A muscle wizard welding the gauntlet can create portals by delivering sufficient force with their bodies at a point in empty space or on a hard clean surface, centering itself on the point of impact. 

Finger snaps create very small and short lived portals or are used to close portals prematurely. Squeezing the gauntlet or gloved hand or asserting continuous pressure to the surface of which the portal is on, will extend the duration of its opening.

The devices themselves are forged from pitch black shards extracted from Mount Megalodon's cliff face. An alchemic touch pad interface exist on the palm and backhand of the glove, or all around the bracer surface of the gauntlet, displaying interdimensional multiversal coordinates of the wearer relative to the position of Mount Megalodon as well as any relevant status data the wearer wishes to know about his present or portaled inter-realm surroundings. 

If the wearer wishes, he or she can project a holographic interface in open space or on a hard clean surface. 
These devices also double as smartphones, able to call other such similar fabricated devices anywhere in the multiverse and carrying every app imaginable.

These devices are expensive and grueling to fabricate and are in the sole possession and usage of Muscle Wizard artificers, masters and grand masters on off-realm missions, tours and deployments, locking their function and activation to their unique muscle magic signatures. 

The only modifications made to these devices, is to introduce improvements and patch fixes in the alchemic magitech circuitry. On the other hand, the average Megalodonian utilize non-porting commercial versions of the gauntlets and gloves, crafted from more mundane materials. Their communication functions are compatible yet inferior in every aspect to their portal creating counterparts. 

When the muscle wizard dies, the signature locks, saved data and functions fade away as the life drains out from their previous owner, becoming lifeless mineral forged gauntlets and laced gloves once again. These heirlooms are held in temporary custody by Mountain Guardians or the deceased master's closest friends and family, until a new worthy master and owner is found and thus new bonds can be rekindled.

===Clothing===

Megalodonian clothing and fashion come in a wide assortment of styles that closely mimic Earth’s trends, laying more emphasis on maintaining freedom of motion and flexibility, comfort and stretchiness. Megalodonian clothing is weaved with varying degrees of alchemic materials and often interwoven with hand stitched runes to suite a specific or all around general purpose. 

No matter the degree of magic involved in the fabrication of the cloth; all of it is very subtle showing very little difference from more mundane attire. 

Clothing accessories such as glasses and monocles can possess seamless alchemic interfaced magnifying sight, thermal and night imaging, including enchantment, magical aura, and spirit detection in addition to their normal uses. 

Normal everyday working clothes are alchemically weaved to be more durable, water/lava/corrosion/puncture/slash/etc. proof with various degrees of protection depending on the price,a magic or technology nullifying field can also be embedded into the fabric at great expense. 

Training outfits are weighted with alchemically induced personal gravity fields that can exert harmless light pressure to ludicrously heavy gravitational pull experienced only on the surface of a star. 

The burden is only felt on the wearer and not on surrounding environment and people, turning everyday activities into strenuous exercise regimens and allowing muscle wizards to maintain and improve their impressive physique without endangering everyone around them.
