((There is a summary if you scroll down and don't feel like reading the whole set up.))

No one knows what year it is anymore, mankind has crippled itself and the world remains in wreckage. The once great cities stand abandoned and the few pockets of humans remaining live in fear of their own creation, their own destruction.

In the year 2047 the first perfected genetically engineered super soldier was created. It was a creature that looked human, except for its pure white eyes. It was able to withstand bullet wounds and heal itself, to not feel pain and unendingly loyal to it's superiors. After the sucess of several missions more were made and used to combat terrorism and fight wars. It was named "titan".

In 2053 they made a new breed of titan. It was intended to lead teams of the earlier breed in squads, this soldier was particularly gifted in tactical thought processes. It easily outperformed military generals world wide, and more were made to control the squads. Soon the company that created these weapons became a mercenary company, selling out their soldiers to the highest bidder. Soon they made their first general, it was a brilliant creature that could easily predict and out-maneuver almost any other strategist.

It was the highest superior, and every titan was loyal to it, however it did not show loyalty to it's creator. It went rogue and took control of the lab it was born in, leading the other created soldiers to take control away from the inferior humans, by 2060 the world was in ruins. These enhanced soldiers were not concerned with luxury, nor societies. Cities fell into ruins from lack of care, the world became abandoned and the super creatures roamed earth without purpose other then to kill any remaining humans.

Now it is 2094, mankind has few safe places left to live, however science was recovered from an abandoned military lab of similar purpose. After thirty years of living in terror, mankind has prepared to strike back with what they believe will be their savior, Project Olympus.

Instead of only a year of body development, this new breed of creature spends 18 years in incubation and 2 years being educated properly. The new super beings were given no psychological modifications to increase their loyalty, nor any method of keeping them on task. This is humanities last hope against the titan soldiers that now rule the world, a risk of a more dangerous enemy that they are willing to take to try and save their world.

There are one hundred of these new super beings made, each named in the greek alphabet as Project Alpha one, Beta two, Delta three, Epsilon eighteen, etc. Each one is code named after a creature or character in greek mythology. The ultimate being destined to retake the world has yet to awaken as it has five more years of incubation before it will be released. Mankind must protect their savior, Project Omega-Nine "Zeus".

~~~~~~~~~Summary~~~~~~~~~~~

In 2047 mankind made a perfected genetically engineered super soldier that was nicknamed "titan". In 2053 they made a variant to act as a tactical commander to squads of titans. In 2056 they made a titan General to command an army of these soldiers and the creators used this army as a mercenary group for rent. The general despised the weakness of mankind and used the army to wipe them out, also employing a captured lab to create more soldiers as necessary. By 2060 world is conquered by him already and all cities become disused while titans wander the world with no purpose other then to find and eradicate what remains of humankind.

2094, the world is in ruins and nature is slowly reclaiming all the remains leaving the world as a giant jungle almost. Mankind remains in small hidden societies trying to stay alive without being caught, one pocket has been living in a lab this whole time. Over the last 30 years they have perfected a more powerful super soldier to fight back and retake humanity despite the risk of the past repeating itself. This is called Project Olympus, and recently all but one of the new soldiers has been readied to employ into the world. The main objective is to survive for two more years, the ultimate savior should awaken by then to help retake earth: Project Omega-Nine or "Zeus".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OOC junk :D

Well yeah it's kinda post apocalyptic if you havn't figured that out, people can play as the titans (bit less personality though) the olympian remakes (has full will and intelligence making them all unique with seperate personalities) or a regular human that has survived and works to survive. Humans are still are still a threat to titans when armed, a good proper stab or well placed bullet wound is still lethal no matter how advanced the titans are.

Why the greek theme? I felt like it at the time I wrote up the story, watch someones gonna read this and think we're re-enacting greek mythology.

Sign up stuff:

Kane you can join but the other RP your with me in i'm using as a basis for your writing ability. You'll need to write longer then those and fix up some of the typos (i'm a bit pickier for this one) so invest like an extra few minutes into posts and you'll be in easy.

Here's my character while I'm here posting:


Name: Project Lambda 13 "Hades"
Type: Olympian
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Personality: Observant and very odd. Being one of the few rather cheerier olympians it is questionable how he was code named Hades. He is a bit strange in his behavior as he seems to try and enjoy or amuse himself with everything possible.

Bio: In the two years of being awake he has spent a lot of it venturing outside the safety of the underground lab to the grass and forest covered area above. Learning how to work with the nature-overgrown world a little in this method. Showing little interest in the education process forced onto him but a good talent for combat.
He favors less conventional weapons, including a long barreled pistol with larger bullets then standard. He also carried around a long combat knife that he uses more often to conserve bullets. In general he is known to excel at close range combat.

Appearence: Six feet tall with long black grungey hair that he has never washed, as few people have that luxury anyways. It hangs in his face often but he doesn't seem to mind most often. He wears black jeans that have been ripped with age and unreplaced with lack of supplies for such a thing. His shirt is also a faded black and he wears a leather jacket that hangs only as far as his knees.

Name: Project Mu 19, "Eric" (A phonetic derivation of Ares, of Eric's choosing.)
Type: Olympian
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Personality: Eric is shy, and reclusive -- especially so, for an Olympian. He is rarely seen with others, and can easily be classified as downright anti-social. Despite being rather slow to anger, he holds a grudge for very long -- and seems to doubt his abilities socially, and physically, on a regular basis.
Bio: After his creation, Eric was, by no stretch of the imagination, forced into the status of 'outcast' that eventually fell upon him. In his two years of consciousness, he has managed to burrow himself away from most of the rest of the underground society; relying on his status as an Olympian to escape social obligations.
Appearance: Eric is considerably tall, standing at a solid 6'2''. He is heavily laden with wiring, knotting muscle -- most of which crawls up his rather slender arms. He is stronger than he appears, however. His jet-black hair is tucked around the back of his neck into a ponytail, leaving his tanned forehead bare. His skin is smooth, and almost flawless -- minus a very small, 'X'-shaped bit of flesh colored a muted gray, on the left side of his face.

Piggy Reid
Human/Scientist
Female
23

Personality: Piggy is an optimist. If the sun doesn’t shine today, you always have tomorrow. She believes in hard work to get what she wants and can also be very naïve at times.
Bio: Generations before Piggy, the Reid family owned a large biomedical company and dabbled in prosthetic limbs. Her grandfather had been one of the scientist who had worked on the Titans and also had died at the hand’s of his creation.

Since the collapse of modern civilization, her family has kept the history alive in the life of Piggy with books and storytelling. Her parents had ransacked many of the libraries prior to the majority of the destruction of the city and schooled Piggy as best they could on what she would have learned in school. The Reid’s even symbolically named their only child after one of the victims in their favorite book, The Lord of the Flies.

With such a strong background science, Piggy buried herself in documents from her grandfather’s notes that he had left to her parents. The fallen patriarch had hoped that soon a resolution could be found in the documents of the Titans. In hopes of solving the mystery, she dedicated her life to reversing the mistakes of the past half-century.
Piggy began working with a team on Project Olympus at the age of 20 where she remains. Her main goal is to make sure that every Olympian produced is equipped and ready for the tasks ahead of them.

Appearence: Piggy is short with a thin body due to her work schedule of overnight studying. Her reddish-brown hair is twisted up in small coils that fall short around her ears in the front but touch just below her shoulders in the back. Her eyes are dark brown framed with thick lashes and thick eyebrows. Her face can be described as heart-shaped. Small yet flat nose with a shallow bridge, and full checks with lips short in width.

Name: Dylan Davis
Type: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Personality: As a former police officer, he doesn't really trust anybody, even the so-called scientists, who he believes, are just trying to save themselves, while letting everybody else suffer.

Bio: Dylan became a police officer when he was twenty, because of an accident that he had in New York City, when his best friend died for him. Because of that, he vowed to become a crime-stopper on the streets of New York. He had quite a few scrapes with death, and an almost paralyzing gunshot wound when he was twenty-two, from which he came back to service, against all odds.

His life was normal as a police officer until the rumored super-soldiers that were overseas began invading the United States. At this, the people went into hiding, but the elites kept on finding, and murdering all the humans that they found. His entire family was killed, and he was the only one left, and he vowed to fight for life as long as he could.

Now, he is one of the few people left in New York City, although he's heard about rumors of the supposed scientists working in a makeshift base, in the dark subway tunnels under New York. Personally, he despises them, but he knows that he will have to get help eventually.

cool, so far everyone who posted a sign up not just 'reserving spot' is in. Nice to see some people with creative human characters lol.

I'd like to point out that this is 30 years after the titans have taken over the world, while it's not really that important yet just making sure your aware (even if your timeline seems a bit off I don't really mind, just leave it and you'll be alright.) and good guessing phhouse, the lab actually was intended to be underground in new york lol, i just never mentioned it in the initial post (i probly should have) but right now new york looks pretty much like I am Legend lol.

Name: Colonnello "The Mechanic" Fuller (pronounced just as it it spelled)
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Hair Colour: Messy brown

Personality: A bit, kinda sorta messed up. Wow |= But yes, after living in seclusion for a majority of his life, fearing the Titans and their power and all that, he has a tendency to mutter and talk to himself, making nhim seem more-than insane. However, behind that crazy, insane exterior hides an even more intelligent interior--that's probably just as crabby, but who cares. Dunno... Hard to explain. But basically he smokes a ton, attempts philosophical moments, and hates everyone who wants to take things hastily.

Bio: 30 years ago, his entire family (along with all the other survbivors that had struggled to survive in the abandoned metropolitan area of New York that they managed to hide in) was killed, slaughtered as a lost Titan found their location and ratted them to the other soldiers. Miraculously, at the tender age of 6, he managed to escape their wrath and live off the the scraps of technology that he could find, having a knack for tinkering with machinery and making it into something better. This included weaponry and vehicles.

Nicknamed "The Mechanic" he had created a band of survivors to fend off the attacks of the Titans in their small area in the *insert University name here* campus, where books and materials for Colonnello abound. It seemed ok for a while--he even managed to get some scientists that were in some distant connection involved in the making of some of these super-humans--until they were swarmed and everything was gone. Left to fend for himself, Colonnello, armed with only a modified Burst Handgun and his own skills, he is, once again, looking for more survivors to team with to live a 'normal' life.

Name: Gregory Dallas. "Armageddon 1"
Type: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 36

Personality: Gregory is the kind of person who is perfectly capable of being alone for weeks on end and not going insane. He has seen alot of death in his time and has become used to it. Dispite not being clinicly "Insane" he is not socially stable and is not very good with large groups of people.

Bio: Gregory is a member of the remaining organized human army, "The United". He is the top member of the sniper division, "Armageddon". Gregory has been trained and pushed beyond any mans breaking point, as have all the snipers in Armageddon. With more than 200 missions under his belt he is the most decorated soldier in the United. Two years ago his team of six was stationed at the Olimpus base under New York to help with the training of a select group of Olimpians. Passing on the real world experiance to the Olimpians, because even super soldiers have to be perpared. Since then three of the original six Armageddons have been KIA. As the leading member of the team Greg spends more time in the field than the other two remaining members, hunting down titans and reconing their population layouts so that when the time comes the Olimpians will know exactly where to find them.

Appearence: Gregory wears olive drab camos and a black trench coat. His face is rough and hard. He keeps his helmet losely on his head. He carries an FN-P90 sub machine gun, a Dessert Eagle, and his Tactical .50 Cal. Sniper Rifle. (I'll get a pic soon hopefully.)
