Origin
Picture a world where land is practically nonexistent. The ocean stretches from horizon to horizon as far as the eye can see, and time is measured by the position of the sun and stars. All of life takes place on or above the water of Earth-31. Citizens of this earth let industry and pollution get out of hand. They were unable to prevent global warming from taking hold and rising temperatures caused problems around the globe. Natural disasters wreaked havoc; continent-level tectonic events and mega-tsunamis sundered the land. Survivors of the cataclysm found themselves left on a post-apocalyptic world covered in water.
