(Hm, why is the act of ascending "Ascendancy" while the act of transcending is "Transcendance?" Hm.)
In the year 2541, a strange alien empire descended upon our solar system. They did not command a vast commercial fleet, however, and took their refuge within a single ship. This ship, miles in length, carried the final survivors of the alien race. Named "The Devourer" in our language, it descended upon Earth. Our insanely thorough defenses, including the immense "Station Omega," fought the alien ship as hard as they could, but it cut through our defense fleets and stations like butter. It continued to Earth, firing a massive beam into the great blue planet. The Devourer sapped Earth of its resources to fuel its own campaign through the stars.
However, Station Omega, in a final desperate attempt to save Earth, sacrificed its own XLD-473 Electro-magnetic core to permanently disable the Devourer's engines. Now, it sits in a massive pile of debris, unable to leave. The once habitable Earth was reduced to a pile of molten rock and radioactive dust.
Some humans that remained in space survived. Small pockets of resistance began to form inside the debris field, which was given the formal name of Maw. One such pocket, now known as the Scavengers, collect from the Maw in order to fuel their own fleet. They eventually hope to invade the alien ship, kill its inhabitants, and strip it of its technologies.
Another faction, known as the ERU (Earth Reclamation Union) hopes to use the natural resources found in space to create a colony on Mars, which will be known as New Earth. They are not particularly hostile, but will defend themselves if needed.
Agh, you thought I'd forget the RO! The Raider's Organization, or "Pirates," basically kill whoever and take whatever they want.
Meanwhile, the aliens, calling themselves the Manticore, are recruiting the aid of all those other humans who haven't really been involved in a faction. They "Transcend" these humans into "Hybrid," grotesque combinations of Manticore and human DNA and features. They possess strength unlike other humans, but do not possess the psychic powers that the Manticore control. They are inefficient pilots and drivers, however, and are best off a ship.
The Manticore military hasn't really mobilized. They've relied on their Hybrids to do all the work. However, if the time arose that they needed to unleash their drones and gunships, they would do so without sympathy and mercy, and would do such with the utmost prejudice.
Standard RP rules apply. Setting will be decided based on the characters' faction relations.
Also, I, as the creator, have the FINAL SAY in anything, as my WORD IS LAW.
CHARACTER SHEET:

(aaaaand here're a few characters I'll be using
Name: Dolohan Eglesius Gender: Male Age (can be an approximation or unknown): 32 Faction: Scavengers Appearance: Stands at 6'3''. Short black hair, blue eyes. Normally seen wearing his Scavy (see what I did there) general's uniform. Personality: "I think you have a problem... You can think. Free will is not something I tolerate." Bio: Dolohan was the captain of Station Omega before its ultimate demise. He rejected to waste their perfectly good core disabling a stupid ship that was annihilating that useless planet! In response for his actions, he was thrown off the station. He formed the Scavengers in a hope to regain his power.
Name: Tara Lecta Gender: Female Age (can be an approximation or unknown): 23 Faction: ERU Appearance: An average height girl, she stands at 5'8''. She has long brown hair descending to her waist. She normally wears a scientist's suit. Personality: "Don't fiddle with the logistics, get to the point!" Bio: Tara has lived her entire life in space.

| Bit odd that the offense faction is named "Scavengers", but whatever. Pretty good all the same. |

Name: Flash (his real name is unknown) Gender: Male Age (can be an approximation or unknown): 25 Faction: Scavengers Appearance: 200 CM tall, black short hair and deep brown eyes. A lightning tattoo on his right arm. Black outfit with some protection pads on it. Black leather gloves on both of his hands. Personality: He's quite friendly and charismatic. But, he can be annoyed quite easily. He forgives other humans but never forgets what they did, and if he gave them one chance he won't give them another. Bio: He was a pilot since he was 19, that experience gave him a nice little ship for the Scavengers. He isn't only loyal to the Scavengers though as he'll help other factions, except the mutants he despises.
If there is a problem, but not a solution, why worry about it? - A lot of people but I patent it. |
