The UN and its conglomerate national unions are in a state of panic during a war fought in the distant future against a radical party insurgence when a meteor shower strikes, infesting the world with a mutative alien paramecium that mutates the world's lifeforms. Special weapons; FEMPS are developed from advanced technologies in hopes of combating the alien threat that's mutating the fauna as well as the insurgents that wish to see the rest of mankind face extinction. The fate of the world now rests in the hands of four young pilots of the experimental weapons as they discover there's more to these weapons than just advanced technology alone.

2089 A.D. - Neo Earth

Planetary resources were depleting fast on Earth and diplomatic policies and economic hardships were making the nations of the world very unstable. The planetary climate was overall changing and starvation was soon becoming a major problem of the world. Conflict and uncertainty were a constant and sight of a dark future in the modern world was coming into realization. The UN (United Nations) made a hasty, unexpected request of its nations, to merge as one single government foundation in its respective regions. Overtime, the changes were dramatic and effective, major continental regions united into major nations, currencies formed as one, and economic stability was in sight. Much of North America, under ruling of the United States of America was soon known as the NACU (North American Confederate Union). The EU (European Union) was finally realized, merging the Benelux countries, the southern European countries, and the Scandinavian region into one. China, Australia, New Zealand, Mongolia, India, Japan, the Korean Peninsula, and much of the Indonesian region formed the OCU (Oceanic Centralist Union). Africa remained neutral and joined no merger along with the other outlying regions. Russia itself formed a bond with its neighboring sister nations as the MFS (Motherland Freedomist States). Science, technology, and economics took breath taking leaps and bounds as a new found research power and funding. The dark future once foreseen was now a black on white contrast in what was to come.

Hindsight -- the insurgency that erupted, demanding independence and singularity rule rather than systematic senate government. Rouge nations refusing the mergers became violent rebellion bands in efforts of causing political maneuverings and terrorist-like acts to divide the nations into independents. These radicals began engaging the other nations with monolithic weapons of mass destruction, humanoid fighting suits known as FEMPS (Full Environment Mobility Power Suits). The experimental technology, originally a UN development project of the OCU and MSF's top weapons engineers was duplicated and realized by the insurgents. Pinpointing the enemy was discovered impossible and battles were erupting world wide now, undefended regions becoming devastated wastelands.

A counter attack was to be made...

2099 A.D. - First Contact

The end of the century was near and the battle to combat the insurgents was still as ineffective as their firepower continued to greatly outmatch the UN's. The MFS was soon reduced to ruins and much of it a burning land of ash and fire. The EU was often under attack as well as the OCU and western coasts of NACU.

This was only the beginning of the reawakening fear however...

In the midst of the wars fought, a great meteor shower pummeled the Earth's surface, destroying much of Eurasia's major cities entirely and leaving the provinces in absolute devastation. Much of Central and North America was not spared in the disaster. Coastal cities sunk, open lands were dimpled with craters, consuming and swallowing millions in its wake, making the regions hit become irradiated and desert-like. The terrorist functions continued in stride, assaulting the diminished regions and taking advantage of the chaos.

Little had anyone suspected the material that collided with earth was in fact massive colonies of foreign, single cell organisms. They had symbiotic behaviors and were constantly changing form, much like a virus. Creatures exposed were quickly evolving or mutating out of control and now the threat of the fauna of Earth destroying what was left of mankind was becoming apparent. The radical movement took advantage of this as well, making quick use of the alien strain as a biological weapon on undefended sectors. Much of China and Mongolia was made into a wild jungle for the mutants to run rampant and advance. It was apparent that the radical party was more interested in wiping out all opposition at the dispense of mankind. From the past, contact with the enemy was severed and negotiations were void.

Finally, the UN stepped in once more, gathering the OCU's top developers to begin a project in using the alien strain to combat the mutants and radicals alike. It was here that pilots, specially trained to use the humanoid fighting machines, biologically integrated with the alien microbes would make the ultimate weapon. Through this breakthrough development came an unbelievable discovery of man merged with this alien...

Man found the power of telekinetic powers, the gateway power to god...

The first experiments were launched and the test type models were put into action. The weapons proved... Excessively effective to say the least. The pilots were not left stable after the tests however and suffered psychological contamination from the weapons, growing mentally more powerful to the point of being able to manifest energy and psionic powers. The test type models went berserk, destroying themselves and the pilots within entirely.

Soon after the incident and relocation of the project, under careful administration of the UN, the production team soon devised a weapon concept of integrating a biologically engineered pilot with one of the test type weapons to effectively synchronize with one another. The 02 test types were ready soon, shrouded in much secrecy, now awaiting its pilots...

Character Sheets

Below is a basic character sheet used in this RP. Please fill out as I explain below.


Name - Obviously, first and last name (middle name is optional). No nicknames or call signs.

Age - Keep it at a degree of young, anywhere between 15 to 21 years is fine. Note, the older the character, the less powerful they may be unless they are some kind of prodigy. (Note: the young in this RP have a significantly stronger latency and synchronization level. You'll find out why later.)

Gender - Self explanatory.

Nationality - From what country does your character's lineage link to? (Please do not leave blank or unknown unless a good reason is provided of the character.)

Blood Type - Also an important thing in this RP regarding how the pilot synchronizes with their FEMPS unit. Pick between A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+, AB-, O+, or O-. More will be detailed later.

Appearance - Please provide an accurate, full physical description of your character's appearance, please try not to be vague in any way. If helps tremendously if you can provide an image link instead too. (Please do not leave as "to be added".)

Personality - Any kind of significant trait or demeanor, habits, or quirks the character may have, append here.

Background - A short background of the character's origins and any detail that will have any impact on the character in any way.

'twould it be possible for me to make characters, and then let other people take some of them over if I want to leave?

That would be a viable option, yes. So long as the character's personality and knowledge of what has happened to him/her entirely is relayed to the new player and the player can seamlessly take over, that's great. |D

Name:Jareth Elijah
Age:16
Gender: Male
Nationality:American
Blood Type:Ab+

Appearance: Abnormaly large for his age.

(Damn that is a big image.)
Personality: likes loud music, Paranoid as hell though.
Anything that can go wrong will go wrong, and it will all come crashing down on me. That is his personal saying.
Background: His home was destroyed and burned down by a murderer at the age of 9, he survived only because he knew exactly where his father's shotgun was. He blew the murderer's brains out.
Or at least that was the cover-story, it turns out he was a bio-engineered creation, and the murderer was actually a special agent of another country trying to sabotage the American project.
He was sent to an orphanage where he tried to live peacefully, but due to his size he was picked on by those older than him, and those his age saw him as a threat. He learned to look around corners to avoid water balloons, and always checked his clothes and wardrobe before he put it on, catching several attempts to put mud in his clothes. He always pushed the door open from 2 feet away, he avoided buckets full of water, and one full of hard cement . He checked every piece of food before he ate it, and when someone decided to sprinkle it with eye-dropper fluid he was able to avoid it. He was able to develop reflexes and paranoia enough to avoid or disable traps whether playful or deadly serious.
As it turns out, the organization which created him could not take the risk of directly taking him to their facility, so they had to place him in an orphanage. The attempts at prankery were actually deadly murder attempts by foreign agents. The mud contained a neuro-toxin, the eye-dropper fluid was liquid cyanide, the water was infected with a deadly toxin, and the bucket full of cement, was, well, a bucket full of cement.(The Eu was not very subtle with that one).
He was eventually taken to the base, after surviving one other assassination attempt that was foiled by the fact that he sat in the back, where he could have his back to no-one and that there were many assassins. The assassin from the EU was killed by the dart of African assassin, and the African assassin was knifed by the MFS assassin after his cover was blown, and the MFS assassin was killed ny the poison cupcake that was given to Jareth by the EU, who decide to share with the person on the opposite row.

Looks good, like the premises of the character's background. Just get that image soon if you can.

The pic is up and the background is finished.

He looks like Ryoji Kaji? Ahh, well that's fine then. I find it somewhat ironic though. There's a few elements of Evangelion I borrow from in crafting this storyline and some of its key features.

Name: Bernt Wilhelm
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Nationality: German
Blood Type: O-

Appearance:
Except in EU Force BDUs instead of a suit.

Personality: Bernt has an inferiority complex in regards to anyone who performs better than him. In order to counter act this he constantly pushes himself to the brink, trying to prove that he is worth people's attention and time. Along with this he is very critical of others, particularly those who are laid back and easy going. Bernt takes criticisms very hard, and will often spend extensive amounts of time to correct the perceived flaw. He appears to be a ruthlessly driven individual, focusing on perfection around him.

Background: Born as the second child to military EU couple he was in a position of privilege for as long as he can remember. He went to private military schools and saw little of his parents. His older sister though was another story. She was a year older and attending the same academy. He was referred to as Sanja's brother as often as not, and this was the start of his complex. Despite all efforts to the contrary, he could never perform as well as she did. If he scored a well on an exam she had a better score, if he completed a combat exercise in twenty minutes, she finished it in eighteen.

As the wars against the rebels began taxing the UN forces more and more, mandatory self-defense militia's were established in the EU. All military school students joined Dortmund's Volksgrenadiers unit and added some additional duties, but few expected to be used. Shortly after First Contact, the rebellion struck at the heart of German production. In the protracted struggle to retake and hold the Ruhr industrial complexes Volks units were mobilized. As a squad leader he acquitted himself well, even under fire. He returned to school for a short while after stability was restored until being informed he was part of 02 project.

This character looks like he checks out.

Just need one more to start, people. I don't require it, but a female character is encouraged here at this point.

are you going to allow people to go over three players total? I've always thought that 4-5 is a good number.

I'll join this RP. Give me 15 hours and I'll post up a female character. I need the time so I can get onto a computer rather than my iPhone currently.

I may permit another additional player, but it may be tight to squeeze into the story line. The other thing I gravely worry about when going over three players is when one disappears, it screws everyone else over. (I've had this happen countless times, dissolving my RP in mere hours.)　I seem to have the most god awful luck with anything I run, so its hard to be flexible.

I'm already considering not running this, guys. Things just aren't picking up the right kind of pace I need. Optix, where ever he may be or what he may be doing, is left as a mystery to me. Plus, this thread was badly bumped down by all the other RPs. I fear it will be screened out by the others. I'm really hoping this RP will pick itself up soon, otherwise I may not run it here.

Right.

My bad. I forgot about this completely, but I've been really busy lately.

I'll get one up tomorrow
