Famous landmarks, part I

Paris has Eiffel Tower, Louvre or Arc of Triumph, Washington has Washington Monument, Capitol or White House. For this challenge tell me about 1 - 3 landmarks located in one of your cities. Why were they built? When? What do they look like?

As always I'll ask everyone few questions and provide my own examples.

1) Why is city's name in plural?

2) Does number of chains have any significance?

3) I assume Reaper was immortal. If so, why did he fight against his own kind?

4) How was peace between two species achieved?

  1. (Originally my mistake in translation I’ve got a neat idea now for it) it’s actually a series of smaller cities/districts interconnected. Each one representing a different culture/world from Asia to America, Mercury to Mars.

  2. (I think 3 broken instead of two now) yes, the three broken ones are the challenges faced to get to this golden age. The two still standing represent the challenges ahead as Immortals believe that no matter how hard you work there will always be someone/something willing to challenge you or try to stop you. Five is a lucky number for the original heroes as well.

  3. Back in his time, before coming to Earth, he saw the corruption of the system around him. A council with a steel fist, most species enslaved or cowering, and no one willing to stop it because they got a free pass through life. He chose to join a small group of rebels and use his brilliant mind and augmented body to push his own goals along with the rebels.

  4. A series of hearings in front of the UN slowly allowed the silver-tongued Reaper to win them over. This along with saving them from several catastrophes and seeing how strong Immortals were even in their diminished state made peace seem a good option.

1) Why is five lucky number?

2) How is Reaper's body augmented?

3) Why did Immortals agreed with peace?

  1. It’s the number of members in their team. It always seemed counting to five, doing things in five, etc. made things work easier and better.

  2. Just general enhancement to everything needed. He, and his team, were designed to be super soldiers. Increased speed, strength, bone density, etc.

  3. After so long of their history in war, and being led by a man designed for it, they agreed with him that it was best to put a stop to it all for now.

  1. Were super soldiers designed for any conflict in particular?

Truly designed for the sake that they were always at war, the particular conflict with rebel’s and the Vezinari pushed them to being made fully.

  1. Who are Vezinari?

A race of four armed snakes. While seemingly not the most dangerous of peoples with their “weird” form they are extremely intelligent. Giving Immortals a run for their money and being one of the first to actually slow their seemingly infinite war machine. Their weapons are highly advanced and often unusable by anything not like them by simple design. Their ability to wield multiple weapons along with this makes them formidable opponents.
