(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.

Name: Andrey Kawaguchi
Gender: M
Age (can be an approximation or unknown): 21
Faction: ERU
Appearance: Andrey stands at exactly six feet and weighs around 67kg. He sports a round face, dark blonde hair, high cheekbones, and exotic-looking pale-blue eyes -- a result of his mixed Asian and Slavic descent. His lips are chiseled and are almost perpetually shut. Andrey is fairly well-built, and almost perpetually remains slim. He has a tendency to only wear what most would consider "casual" clothing, leading many to perceive him as being very lazy and uninterested in his appearance; his rugged, toned body suggests otherwise, however.
Personality: Andrey is very calm, and very rarely stressed. He is seldom interested in the idea of being competitive if he does not have to be. However, when in a life-or-death scenario, Andrey is a masterful problem-solver and an extremely practical thinker. He also happens to be fairly logical, and his brain is very characteristically scientific and practical. to say nothing of action-oriented
Bio: Born to a Russian father and a Japanese mother, Andrey never quite understood where exactly he came from. He never had a place he could call home for an extended period of time, but from what few photographs remained in his family's possession, he could trace his father's family's history to the Russian town of Omsk. As a student, Andrey excelled in all subjects, though his was notably gifted in mathematics and the sciences. Despite his academic capabilities, he never really took an interest in school, rather preferring to read "obsolete" works of literature. He discovered old-world martial arts when he was nine year old, and was a noticeable prodigy. Due to his irregular interests, he became very reclusive and never really made any friends throughout his teenage years. Though he eventually became an electrical engineer, Andrey remained uninterested in his academics. Finally, he discovered work on... the Earth, which he previously knew very little about. Behind his goal to support his family, he wishes to return to where his ancestors once lived, dreading the possibility that their hometowns may no longer exist. |
