(Sorry for my recent inactivity... Finals and all...
(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:
Name: Gender: Age (can be an approximation or unknown): Faction: Appearance: Personality: Bio:
(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. She really couldn't weep for not ever setting foot on Earth - until it was destroyed. Now, she devotes her time to repairing the damage done by the Manticore in an attempt to see her planet thrive once again.
Name: Bolts (true name unknown) Gender: Male Age (can be an approximation or unknown): 30 Faction: RO Appearance: Stands at 5'11''. Has just a smidgeon of brown hair atop his nearly bald head. Normally seen wearing overalls and a red flannel shirt. Personality: "Treasure, y'say?" Bio: Bolts, as the leader of the RO, lives only for money. Money, money, money. It's all he ever wanted. It's all he ever cared about. So what if half his crew loses their eyes, he wants deh gold!
Name: Na'laar Gender: Male Age (can be an approximation or unknown): Unknown Faction: Hybrid Appearance: Stands at 7 feet tall. He wears a suit of silvery glowing armor to hide his appearance. Personality: "Hmph." Bio: Na'laar was abducted as a small child to be the first Hybrid ever. He was the perfect test subject - easy to test on. He now leads Squad Zeta, the primary human assassination Hybrid team.
Name: Scaedricus Gender: Male (assumed) Age (can be an approximation or unknown): Approximately 4,800 Faction: Manticore Appearance: Scaedricus stands at 7'11''. He wears a suit of gleaming silvery orange armor. Personality: "I live for my people." Bio: Scaedricus has travelled for millenia, searching for worlds to consume to feed his ship. He has not wanted anything else but the survival of his people, and will do anything that he, as the leader, can do. |

(I do hope you stay on your word. I also hope not having a faction won't break too many rules.)
Name: Vath D. (Last name long forgotten) Gender: M Age : Unknown Faction: Soloist wanderer, fights for whomever is weaker Appearance: Dark black hair, In the 'Unsettler' style, black overcoat with a tanned leather armor under. Personality: Strange, unusual. Tends to take things seriously, and finds threatening amusing. Bio: Vath was one of the few humans that survived on a particularly small piece of debri, that was about the size of NY. Vath was taught by the locals on how to fight, and, once reaching his full height, had a dream that he would help everyone return Earth to its former power. Vath enjoys the use of rifles, and electrified swords. |

You better stay here this time.
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. |

@Kata
Oh my, you out trump even my friend.
Perhance we could partner up? I hate RPing solo.
We could've met while I was on another of those treks or something.
A CQC master like you, and a proper rifleman like me, could be a good team. |

(Writing this on Xbox, so I can't copy and paste, or copy this from another screen. Tell me if I missed anything.) Name: Tzeltvorth. Age: Aprox. 4'523 years. Gender: M. (Based on voice.) Race: Manticore. Faction: N/A. (I'll have this as the Manticore race if I can't be a lone Manticore.) Appearance: A tall 7'1 Manticore, Tzeltvorth wears a black combat suit with different shades of grey pixelated on it. (Insert whatever Manticores look like here.) Personality: Tzeltvorth doesn't share his fellow Manticores opinions, so he acts more like a kind, caring human in his personality. Bio: Tzeltvorth had fought in the first year of the war (If there was one.) but after witnessing a massacre of both his people and some humans, he took the nearest ship and flew to the destroyed Earth. He now roams the land, and most scavengers attemping to loot from the remains of Earth tell of the Lone Manticore. |

(Oh look at that, it's my character from the last thread.)
Name: James Greene
Gender: M
Age: 24
Faction: Scavengers
Appearance: Caucasian, Athletic build, 6'1", Blonde Hair (Cut thin on the sides, slicked forward on the top into a short cowlick), Green eyes, gaunt features with the jaw lining up with the temples.
Personality: Introverted, but friendly. Determined. Will seem at first to be out for himself, but is willing to put himself at risk to protect others.
Bio: Was a Fighter-Pilot in the Earth Defense Forces during the attack. After Station Omega disabled the Devourer, he regrouped with a cluster of ships left from the battle. The ragged flotilla would link up with another group of survivors, which grew steadily into the faction known as the Scavengers. |
