Propaphus

Propaphus is the home planet of Alaska. It was destroyed (relatively) shortly after she reached maturity by a strange black hole which swallowed up much of the remaining universe of PR-01.

The inhabitants are called Prophians, and possess no arcane or unusual properties. Around 10,000 years before the birth of Alaska, a different race, with infinite arcane power referred to as the Other Powerlink, visited the Prophians in a time of need. They took out refuge in it's safe lands, eventually finding Prophian husbands and partners. The result was children who were super powered beyond belief. For generations, each Prophian was born with the Other Power, and the way it worked adapted and changed to suit the needs of the user. However, by Alaska's generation, the bloodline of Other Power was dwindled, with only a few Prophians of each generation gaining the Other Power.

Prophians are similar to humans but are different in one unique way; Prohpian females have a hard, shell-like "mask" that stays attached to the face until the female comes of age. It shows the eyes and has tubes leading to nostrils and the mouth. It is usually white, however rarely it can have colouration in spots. Removing this results in hormone imbalances, diminished sexual maturity, infertility, scarring, and other adverse effects. The mask is usually kept on unless it is a matter of life and death. When it falls off, usually around the age of 100, it shrivels up and becomes akin to bone. It is a common tradition to grind the remains and use it as a blessing for the women's children, if she has any, to lose their masks early. It is widely regarded among females as a good thing to lose their mask before the age of 70, however the average age for Prophian femals is about 95. If the mask does not come off naturally by 130, it may be removed without further altercations if the female is otherwise healthy. Males do not have any sort of equal trait to this.
