Primordion (also spelled Primordium) is a peculiar mineral found on Earth. It is currently unknown how rare or abundant this mineral is, causing many companies, organizations and nations to vie for it.
ORIGIN
Prior to the star
Panacea going supernova, Primordion did not exist, or rather it wasn't discovered. It is common knowledge and a known fact that the energy from Panacea seeped into the Earth and altered the genes of its inhabitants resulting in the birth of the
Outliers. What was overlooked however, is the affects that same energy would have on the planet itself. The molecular structure of several unknown pre-existing minerals were altered in such a way where they replicate and generate the very same energy that Panacea itself emitted.
PROPERTIES
What makes Primordion so valuable is its ability to generate an almost limitless amount of energy. A single grain of Primordion is able to significantly power an entire building the size of a skyscraper for several years alone. Due to how volatile and hazardous Panacea's own energies were, forcing Earth to propel their technological advances by decades, suffice to say its destructive capabilities in terms of weaponry are rather substantial. It was later revealed that Primordion seems to have a certain reaction when near or, rather in the possession of an Outlier. The energy emitted by Primordion seems to significantly enhance their respective variants alongside their physical parameters. Still, just as Panacea itself was dangerous when existed, so too is Primordion. In large quantities if not properly contained and protective measures aren't met, it can have adverse affects.
The energy emitted from the mineral over time, causes humans to become incredibly sick, growing thin and frail. It is theorized that the mineral is somehow siphoning from the bioelectrical field generated by humans and other living beings. For Outliers, while it does enhance them it also alters their psyche over time, causing them to become crazed and manic. Overtime, their body itself breaks down ending in their death as their body is unable to properly contain and manage all the power coursing through it.
