[OOC] Diamonds to Ashes

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby TemplarWarden on Fri Feb 11, 2011 6:06 am

Diamonds to Ashes

The year was 2097 when Earth died.

We, Homo Sapiens, would never have wandered beyond our solar system for centuries or even millennia. We would never had seen the untold number of species out there, amongst the sparkling lights in the sky.

Instead, on the 16th of April, they came to us.

That day, that fateful day forever recorded in our history.

The sky lit with alien shapes, glittering in the light of our young sun. They contacted us. They were only known as Legion, as race of insect beings that shared a single consciousness. They told us to stop, to cease our Armageddon project. Whatever it was the populace of the world was unaware of its existence. So we were condemned to death for a cause as real as ghosts. It was the end times. Earth burned, piece by piece, country by country, continent by continent. The genocide would have been complete if the Ary'a had not intervened. For four days our executors and guardian angels battled in the sky. Burning our sky day and night. They Ary'a were our saviors but they could not best the might of Legion. We were evacuated while the combatants fought above us. We were not forced onto the escape craft and so millions stayed behind. Fear, misguided bravery and hatred condemned much of whatever was left of our population to death. Our grandfathers and grandmothers watched Earth burn to a husk as the Ary'a fled.

That was our exodus. When we were saved only to die. They Ary'a, delicate beings, told us of Legion. How Legion was mightier then every other species combined. How it remained in isolation, somewhere in the unfathomable tracts of the Milky Way. It rarely emerged, only to crush species seemingly at random. The Ary'a had dedicated their existence to protecting any race that Legion ruled for genocide. They had watched as Legion had, stepping in to save humankind as they had attempted for every race before. We we're their only success, every other time they failed and only served to bring themselves to an end. The Ary'a were dying quickly, only mere hundreds were left and many of them did not have long to live. They taught us what they knew, technology our scientists had only barely touched upon. A credit to our race we learnt quickly. We were ready to take our first baby steps amongst the galaxy when the last of our saviors departed from life.

Allllllrighty then. We're good to go, initiating roleplay in... whenever I get the first post done. Now unfortunately my character can only pick up people one by one so there may be a little while before your character is actually brought into the roleplay. Prep yourselves ladies and gentlemen, lets get this show on the road.

Spaces are still available just so you know.

For those of you who have the characters who know something about the Armageddon project, I'll PM you what your character specifically knows.

Edit:Okay, first post is up. So far it only involves A Rubber Chicken.

Okay, I'll soon be moving on to pick join up with LunaTwilight and CortezHorse. So far so good. A couple of things I need to clear up. The actual position of Earth has been lost and Sakuro, what is the name of the ship Lyda is on?

Now a little warning, in two days time I'll be gone for three days without internet. So there will be a little pause in the roleplay.

Okay, Chuckles. I like your character, it'll spice the thing up. He is accepted. Serly check your PM for changes I want you to make, otherwise you're accepted as well.

I'll just like to point out that there are only vague descriptions of Legion. Each race makes them look like individual nightmares so there isn't a single description except they are insects and their craft are organic.

Templar, could my character own a personal flagship? No as a major plot line twist of course, but to emphasis his exorbitant and combative nature?

Yes he could, although it can't be very big. Certainly not more then something that could be piloted by one man. It can't be bigger then the Artemis. I think it will really be interesting to have more then one ship though. So please, go ahead.

Yes, spaces are still open. However at this point you won't be a descendant of the scientists so when you post your character sheet please set yourself up to be nearby one of the other characters. Also, can you have a look at the specialties the other characters are and try to fit in accordingly, I don't want to many people specialising in one area and not enough in another.

Alright, just to fix up any confusing and avoid conflicting descriptions. The Artemis is a frigate and if you look at its shape its not exactly practical for landing. So it remains in space and attaches to other craft through means of a umbilical, it does not use hangers. The umbilical is just a passage that juts out of the larger ship and attaches to a single airlock on the exterior of the ship.

Also, Serly this is the cue for you. We've just happened to rift into the system you're in. Set the situation as you want, but make sure that we can get you aboard for interaction.

Okay, I'm sorry but I have commitment problems. Unfortunately I enjoy the creation of characters and roleplays the most, continuing them is a bit hard for me. So I'm going to have to kill off this roleplay :(. I just want to thank you all for being involved, all of your characters were awesome and sorry to those I've disappointed. Have fun out there.
