[More back story on this later.. for now, this is all you get to speculate with :)]
CHAPTER 1 A FALLEN NATION
"Father, what is to become of Arcadia?" A young boy, approximately eight years old, looked up with innocent blue eyes towards a much more elegant and war scarred father. The father sighed.. the child could tell he was depressed. Something was wrong, he knew. Yet his father would not say. The father once again turned his back on his child. Once again, the boy persisted in his questioning. "What happened that day, father? I want to know. Tell me what the battle was like." The father was quiet for a moment, then he sighed, a knelt down to the boy's eye level. "I can see there is no fooling you. You persist continuously, and in honor of your patience, I shall tell you the truth." He sighed once again, and collected the words he though the child should get out of the horrible situation Arcadia was in.
"Our honorable nation has... crumbled. Despite our best efforts, we could not keep Arcadia alive. I know this will be difficult for you to understand.. you are too young right now... but hear me out... Our nation was a glorious nation. Full of leaders and men of joy. Men who did anything for their nation, even.. taking it upon themselves to sacrifice them-self for a greater cause. When Arcadia fell, it was not taken lightly. We wept.. but we continued on.. as we must do now. The great nation I fought to raise you in has changed... but as always, we will get back on our feet. Remember that. If you take anything with you from today... it's that this isn't forever." "Arcadia is our home, it will always be that way, I want you to know that. Do you understand me?"
The child nodded, and his father sighed once more. He paced around the room a little, looking out the window. The city once full of life and beauty was now full of flames and anarchy. "Pack your things...we're leaving." The child grabbed his bag, and packed all he could... and then they were off. The child stopped at the door step of the elegant officers house that he and his father had called home. Everything from the entire life he had known was in there. His toys, his life, the last scent of his mother. Everything. "Lucas. Come on. We have to go." The boy took one last look at the house, and then, reluctantly followed his father down the trail and into the fog. |

| I'd rather have the Father and Boy pill out out reapers and have a all out gunfight with whoever is raiding. |

| @Melenius I got some inspiration from there, it was one of the things I fought about while writing this story. I don't play the game, but I I've watched a few videos of it, and I really enjoy the way they pull off the creation of the first chapter. So I figured, hey, why not pull some inspiration from it? |

| ^ I think that's more of how they are depicted, but Arcadians also have a high population of multiple races. Majority though are Olive skinned/White (Or in this world Greek/American.) As for the characters in this story, I encourage you to use your imagination. |

How do you know it's based out of Greece as opposed to that town in Silicone Valley?
Seriously, though, I've always pictured Arcadians as pretty much being white. |
