'The smoke of the door cleared and the air from outside rushed in to pressurize the leek in the hull. Standing at the opening of the hole was a tall shadow...
The smoke cleared to reveal his features. It was humanoid, tall and thin, with a great bulking back hidden by a dark robe. The face looked over at the squadron. It was male, white hair and skin with cold black eyes and emotionless lips. He wore the ruins of many items of clothing, mostly male, though he also wore a pair of white gloves. He began to grin at his new company.
'I would like to thank you for disabling the security. I have been waiting to return for a long time. I left something here last time.' He curled his finger at the group, the child they had found stepped forward, mesmerized.
'Allow me to show you Eden' the stranger called hauntingly. 'The most beautiful thing in this life'. The robe fell down of the back of the stranger, and two great wings unfolded. 'No Humans Are Allowed In Eden!' He shouted before grabbing the child by the arm and turning to the window.
Before any of the squad could approach him the window burst and we were all sucked into the vacuum.
All except me'...
Present Day:
The word of Project Angel and EDEN quickly spread across the galaxy. The prospect of EDEN intrigued many colonies. Rogue planets thought of it as a super-weapon, whereas poor countries expected a region of rich resources. Extremist groups even go as far as to claim it to be paradise, heaven or the embodiment of God. With stirring interests, Colonies discretely began to mobilize; the search for EDEN was on. Fearing intergalactic war, the colonies avoided direct confrontation, but this work behind the scenes was visibly causing rising tensions of intergalactic relations. The truth of EDEN still lies in mystery as thousands of individuals seek power, fame, or the truth. All the while, the secret labs continue to orchestrate their plans around these events.
In the year 2200 a large celestial object is discovered heading straight for earth. Immediately a massive evacuation is put into work, Humans from all over the world are launched in all directions, set for the closest habitable planets. Over 10,000 ships are launched worldwide, but (due to the vast emptiness of space) nearly 90% of these ships are reported either as crashing or missing. With 1,000 ships landing on planets all over the galaxy (with roughly 50 ships to a planet) there are many occupied planets with no way of contacting each other...
Centuries pass, and unsurpassed effort is put into contacting the other colonies. Around 2500 first contact is made between two colonies, and immediate transport is put to action. A shocking theory is proven upon contact, the sets of humans (though holding similar technologies and languages) have evolved and adapted to their new planets to the extent that inter-breeding is difficult if not impossible.
A council is assembled to decide how to confront this new dilemma, eventual they decide that neither species is human anymore. Time passes and more and more colonies contact each other and cities begin to grow on the planets. The most central planets grow the fastest due to being major trade posts. Each species cannot interbreed and thus gains its own name.
Once the 'human race', as it is collectively called, has full control to communicate and travel, they once again set out to start new colonies within the planets they already own. These new colonies do not develop their own species because they are not isolated from others of their species. Over time, the inability to interbreed within species begins to become a controversial topic. Some extreme scientists begin to question whether genes could be altered to allow for breeding. These scientists are hunted down and arrested/killed by most governments, but one group manages to take the experiment there, and so much further...
Roughly around 2700 perfect gene manipulation is achieved and not only is an inter-species created, but a true 'abomination'.
Their creation was able to manipulate objects from as far as 10 feet and rearrange it as seen fit, though it died soon after creation. Over time, more 'abominations' are made and they are each designed with specific skills and abilities.
These creations were often given biblical names, the most predominant of which was Moses. Moses could release his DNA in bacterial form and infect others with a possible ability, and mutated sex cells towards a common embryo. This meant that any infected 'Humans' could inter-breed, and their child would grow up to be one of the two species, with certain traits of the other.
On one fateful day, Moses is released onto the galaxy, and nothing is the same again...
Keep things pg 13. This RP has the potential to be dark, but please do not post excessive gore, vulgar language, sexual content and the like.
Godmodding: Don’t do it. The nature of this RP does allow characters to perform incredible feats that normal humans could never do.

Name: (full name and/or any nicknames) Gender: Age: Species: (Feel free to make your own. If you do, write a brief paragraph describing of the background, merits, and flaws of the species. Please use phrases like- - this species has evolved to have a thick protective hide, but are slower as a result, or this species is composed of psychics who use telekinesis, and telepathy, but as a result have frail bodies.) Appearance: (picture or description) Personality: History: (A paragraph is all I ask) Occupation: (Some advice. If you want to get in on the action immediately, try choose an occupation involved with Ebon arrow. See information below. I’ve bolded the part you should read so you don’t have read through the whole background looking for it.)
Supernatural Abilities: (Inhuman abilities obtained through projects, genetic modification, or contraction of the Moses virus. This power is your characters ace in the hole, and does not have to be hampered by a weakness. If you think a weakness will add room for character development, by all means, add one. That said do not take this as a ticket to do whatever you want. Powers must have reasonable limits. So if you have super speed, don’t go around breaking the sound barrier okay?) Preferred Fighting Style: (Optional. But, if you want to fill this out, post weapon proficiency and/or any combat training received. Stuff like that.)
For Reference Don't Feel Obligated to choose any listed here. This is here in case people have trouble coming up with ideas, or lack time to come up with an original race.
Terrinos The humans landed on a planet which a gravity pull was twice the amount of that on earth. This caused early humans to ache in pain and sometimes die because of the pressure of the gravity. But the humans survived, and evolves to adept. To adept to the gravity hazard of the planet humans shrunk in size, their bones become sturdier and their muscles more compact and strong. They look like humans but was around 30% shorter in average then humans. Their strength was surprisingly over all better than the average human was. In addition, their body was a lot sturdier and their bones wouldn't brake as easily as humans. But, because of the gravity, they also become over all slower, with a crippled dexterity and bad reflexes they tend to do things slower. It also showed that by going at things slower their age seemed to slow down as well. They become longevity compare to humans and lived about twice their age.
Ultrites A small planet that resembles earth in its prime natural state, full of plant life, mountains, and great oceans. Inhabited by many diverse species of reptiles. The most notable is the giant reptiles, dubbed Dragons, for there resemblance to the beasts in ancient Earth text. Those who landed built great buildings of stone, and refused to go back to the ways that helped ruin their old home. To aid in keeping themselves in line, they made many laws and rules for their cities to abide by. Ultrites have tougher skin then humans, horns, and a wide range in both hair color and skin color, but have thinner blood. The most notable mutation among them is the ability to make 'Essence'. Essence is a manifestation of one's own life in the form of a weapon, resembling psionic crystal, which can be put away or brought out at will. Every Ultrite has the potential to make up to two Essences; the style of their Essence is something they are born with. Commonly only one is used, and if there Essence breaks, the creator dies, however if the Ultrite dies, its Essence can go on. Ultrites believe in Justice, Honor and Loyalty above everything else.
Fangire (sorry sparrow, I took the liberty of naming your species) One colony landed on a very peculiar planet. Its orbit and rotation were aligned in such a way that one side of the planet was constantly day, and the other night. The only area habitable by humans is the dimly lit dusk lands between the two. The animals here are very camouflaged and organised. This caused the humans to become keen eyed and more aware. They have incredibly accurate senses, but a very white complexion due to lack of sunlight. The land is rich with ores and led to weapons being easy to forge, so physical strength is not this species greatest asset. The animals that were edible to the humans were incredibly thick. This gradually increased the size of the canine teeth. Some 'humans' call this species vampires, though they in no way appreciate the it.
Vatenicts A humanoid that was develop on a planet with majority of water. This adapted the humans to a more amphibious state, fish people if you like. The skin turned more pale and a little silverfish; they developed great swimming capabilities and expanded breathing capacity, very athletic. Down side would be that they dry out faster and would need more water than regular humans.
New Verdians The branch of human species which conquered planet Verde. Under similar conditions to that of earth, the new Verdians are quite possibly are the closest species that resemble the original humans today. However, the Verdians are also one of the most technologically advanced species. With a daily life surrounded with streams of computer information, the average Verdian requires a near photographic memory. Unfortunately, they lack any physical develpments as a species, thus are only capable of physical tasks humans were limited to.
Canis lupus familiaris After years of selective breeding, genetic modifications, and cognitive restructuring, scientists have created a species of Dog capable of human thought and speech. Most species of dog have been breed to be absolutely loyal and selfless, thus, AWOL dogs are not very common. With the mind-set of humans, paired with a swift, agile body, this species is a tracking and hunting force to be reckoned with. Unfortunately, dogs are still dogs and thus suffer the problems of short life span, flees, and the like. All intelligent Caninae are registered under the RIA (Record of Intelligent Animals) act, but of course, many find themselves in the black market, or under the possession of unauthorized persons.
An 'Angel' was trained by one of the scientist to help him with experiments. This Angel learned quickly and one day (through an incredibly logical guess) managed to access the location and codes to work the supercomputer known as DaVinci. Angel was overwhelmed with information when it learned of its past and the number of projects. In the end, Angel decided to build its own project: EDEN
When the scientist noticed supplies had been stolen from the lab they found an Angel was missing, and a message was secured in the wall 'Follow me to EDEN'
Over the next few months all of the Angels began to disappear. The few that remained were locked aboard the ship under constant surveillance of 'The Walls Have Eyes Project: a security system programmed to attack, and kill any intruders.
Deep in the waste space a human colonization ship had landed on a planet with friendly atmosphere. The planet was a beautiful planet with waste green fields and blue coloured leaves, the humans had thought they had found paradise. Little did they know that the planet lacked natural resources such as metals and raw oil, when the colonizer didn't find anything the companies decided to break the contact with them and leave them to their fate on the planet they now called Desmir.
With the lack of resources as well as communication, the state of the technology reverted backwards, until it had gotten to a medieval styled living. The capital had been built around the space ship, which in turn had a church built around it. At this time, only the high officials could know their origin and had the false religion of the goddess Termilia to blindfold the people from the truth.
The people them self had evolved slightly from their human form during the time on Desmir, by reverting back to hunters and farmers on a new planet gave them tanner skin, more athletic bodies as well as pointer ear for better hearing. However, the most remarkable feature would be the immune system. Desmir was ridden with minor diseases, nothing of fatal outcome but it was enough for the people to evolve a greater immune system, to keep them healthier.
On this planet their lived a boy who was born without eyesight. He had a though life but when he was 6 years old he was taken up by someone who he did not recognize by her voice. Her speech was strange and hard to make out, it sounded like their language but it was much he could not make out, as if it was a strange dialect. Never the less she offered him light, and he wondered if this was an angel sent from Termilia herself? He accepted her proposal without fully knowing what he had gotten himself into.
He had not been taken in by an angel, but a human. A human from an organization called the Ebon Arrow.
The Ebon arrow was an organization that works with espionage, assassination, bodyguards, or simple mercenaries, some work more concealed then others for only a few selected patrons. Because of what they do, they had access to the top-notch technology in the known space as well as free access to any areas. Free access is of course by no means legal everywhere.
However, why did they pick up that boy on Desmir? Two reasons: One: The Ebon Arrow recruits humanoids from all over the known space to gain the most waste of knowledge and abilities of the people for the work at hand. Second: He had no eyesight from birth; this was a wanted trait for being a candidate for the oracle project.
The oracle project was made to predict the movement of others and complete knowledge of the surroundings regardless of what may hinder the five senses. In other words a third eye. The project itself was abandoned because of no one surviving the strain of having knowledge of your surroundings constantly flowing into your head. There was however, a group of people who seemed to take the strain better than others, Blind people. Their senses were already sharp and their brain was more adept at taking in information. But, of course this was not enough the keep them alive, there was only one who managed thus far, a genetic body, or two in fact. This was a side project to the angel project, a pre-angel to do their testing.
A twin couple was made too be able to mutate with mostly anything the laboratories establish. Due to humans being too fragile, Ebon created them so their projects could be properly tested. But, something went wrong, the twin girls who had been named Black and White because of their hair colour went berserk in the labs and escaped. Because of what they where they could slip away unnoticed where ever they went. Eventually they split up, Black became a first class inter galactic assassin while White took up the name of Lady Ebon and founded the Ebon Arrow.
The Ebon arrow grew and soon started their own projects; this is where the boys enter the picture. Lady Ebon wanted to give him the oracle abilities to serve her as a lead infiltrator for the Ebon arrow. He was given little choice and became an oracle child, he was either going to die or become something far stronger. He was okay with any of the two. With the guidance of Lady Ebon he survived, he had become a weapon of the Ebon arrow, a lead arrow.

Name: Kerrigan (Karry) Bell Gender: Female Age: 18 Species: Fangire Appearance: (Can't find a better picture) Personality: Kerrigan is serious at the same time playful. She believes in the importance committing to her duties, but takes the optimistic and possibly even silly approach to it, even when on the battlefield. History: Kerrigan was abducted at a young age by one of the laboratories. There, she was used as a guinea pig, along with many other children, for biological modification. She was the only successful subject, which resulted in some trauma as she saw her friends die around her. After being driven to the breaking point the true nature of her power was unleashed, destroying the lab, and killing everyone inside. She was unable to tap into that power since. She wandered the unknown planet for days before encountering Ebon Arrow. Through the help of some of the kinder members, Kerrigan was able to the recover to the point where no one would think she had such a terrible past. Occupation: Ebon Arrow Mercenary Supernatural Abilities: Kerrigan was genetically modified to manipulate electric current. She can freely electrocute people from laundry static, to Taser levels, and even up to lethal voltages. The downside is that she requires either direct contact, or send current through a conducting medium in order to shock someone. Recently she began using her powers in ways other than to kill people, performing minor electrotherapy, and even acting as a human defibrillator. Preferred Fighting Style: Kerrigan wields a single handgun as well as a chain whip usually used to hook, and finally electrocute opponents.
Name: Winchester Gender: Male Age: 6 Species: Canis lupus familiaris Appearance: Pretty much like a german sheperd Personality: Loyal and obedient, Winchester is bread to follow orders and complete missions. As a result, he doesn’t hold much of a conversation, usually only speaking to offer his insight to the job at hand. History: Winchester comes from a long line of dogs breaded for military search missions. He was stolen by Ebon Arrow before he was registered under the Intelligent Animals Act. He underwent rigorous training in tracking and speech before serving his first mission at age 4. Because Winchester was only bread to do his job, he does not care for his past, project EDEN, or anything complicated. Occupation: Ebon Arrow search and combat dog Supernatural Abilities: none Preferred Fighting Style: With fangs.
And another possible antagonist
Name: Josler Whyte Gender: Male Age: 27 Species: New Verdian Appearance: Height 182 cm, slim build, sharp facial features and medium length black hair. Usually well dressed to fit his occupation, although he always seems to be wearing his favorite blue trench coat ouside of council. Personality: Cunning and manipulative, Josler only thinks about his own goals. His charisma allowed him to hide his illegal activities in the Lab. He hates it when things don't go according to plan, and tends to show up to fix his subordinates mistakes. History: Josler was born into an upper class family of Verde who valued the traits of an English gentleman. Being strictly trained to be a genius, Josler holds many talents such as those in politics, science, dueling, and sharpshooting. His rise in the political ladder went smoothly and unopposed. The recent incidents aroused his interest in EDEN. As a result has involved himself with affairs management between Ebon Arrow and planet Verde. Occupation: Politician and Head of Verde Lab Supernatural Abilities: none Preferred Fighting Style: Although the life of a politician holds no action, Josler is proficient in using a rifle and a dueling blade although he has yet to find use for them.

Name: Lars Olimar Gender: Male Age: 22 Species: New Verdian Appearance: Personality: Hyperactive and clumsy, he's usually gentle to people but loves technology above anything else, if he were ever to choose between saving a human or a machine, he'd choose the machine. History: Lars was alredy born with a gift for technology, both of his parents were mechanics so he was able to learn more quickly, at the age of 16 he went to the academy and graduated in mechatronics at the age of 19, at 20 he got his first job designing service robots. Despite his genius, most of his inventions had a knack for "explosive" ends, during an experiment when he was 21, he was designing a special robot that would be used to paint walls, while working on the robot's "colour remove" function, he accidentally triggered a big explosion, the surrounding area near where he was working became totally white, as did his hair and iris, he also became very pale. He was also fired after the incident, a few months later, he got a job in another industry, this time designing commercial robots. Again, accident, during the explosion one of the robots bladed pieces flew off and cut off Lars's right arm. He was fired again, a few months later, he created a mechanical arm to take the role of the one he had lost, like most of his other inventions it doesn't always work properly, but this one at least didn't blow up. He eventually got himself another job, now he works as a mechanic at a space station near New Verdia. He dreams of being able to build his very own space station, he alredy has the designs for it but he lacks the cash. Occupation: Mechanic Supernatural Abilities: His mechanic arm is equipped with several equipments for the most different occasions, ranging from a 3 foot long sabre to a toothbrush, the arm can also overcharge itself with eletrical energy, the resulting punch can destroy weak energy barriers. As a drawback however, the arm jams very often and requires constant repairing, using the overcharge also causes the arm to overheat and disables it until it cools down. Preferred Fighting Style: Arm sabre.
I hope this is acceptable?

M1 A planet with similar properties to Earth during its Triassic age. It was populated widely with massive bugs and species closely resembling reptiles.
The military who crashed here quickly set up multiple bases and took over the whole planet within decades. It took time but eventually the entire planet began to resemble a very military based Earth.
One of the first planets to contact the outside world. It is fairly central to other planets and occasionally intervenes to stop wars.
castrens - from the latin word for military castrensis. Castrens are widely regarded as the most organised, disciplined and effective force in known space.
They started as a wide array of military personal, however over time only the most fitting squads lived. A private to them has more training and would last longer in battle than most Human Sergeants would of.
They are honed to perfection. The enhanced Oxygen on M1 serves as a mind and body stimulant.
While the castrens are excellent at all things physical and tactical, many believe they have lost their human spirit. Most creative arts are dead to them and their one key export is weapons. Castren weapons are the most reliable among nearby colonies and perhaps among all of the 'human race'.
Nowadays many Castrens have weakened and become social once again, mingling back into society with other colonies. Those who wish to be the best (and not the best by Earthling terms) stay and train..
Name: Maximillian Marozzi (Both are real names ) Nicknames: Maro, Marozzi, Mad Max, Max. Captain. [occasionally called Wrath by a select few] Gender: Male Age: 26 Species: Castren/New verdian [to be explained] Appearance: Due to his abnormal gene pool: Black eyes and medium Black hair, neatly trimmed. His face is strong and defined while his accent is more New verdian. He wears his black and gold Captain uniform most of the time, though occasionally wears a more casual Red shirt and dark jeans. Personality: He is commanding and demanding, but generally a nice person. If you stay on top of your work you'll be buddies in no time. However if you slack off he'll hate you for it, a lot of his behavior comes from his Castrens. He is a kind man, very keen and very competitive. Yet always calm and collected. He knows when something has gone too far, and he knows when he's right. His sole defining features that separate him from the other Castrens would be his appreciation of art and humor. While he may not be a master of either he spent alot of time on Verde and learnt a lot of their way. History: His father Captain Jack Marozzi, and his mother Linda Marozzi (originally Mont) were Castren and Verdian respectively. The two married and had a controlled shot of Moses each. neither of them developed a power, though rumor had it Jack had but hadn't told Linda to spare her feelings. After a while Max was born, soon after the couple split up, divided as how to raise him. He spent his childhood between them, spending a few months in Verdian then a few on M1. He was accepted by neither community. He would make friends, however he thought the Verdians were lazy and self satisfying. And that the Castrens were close minded and brain washed. Eventually he took training on M1 and worked his way up the ranks, he constantly had the advantage of his mother's photographic vision and open mindedness. By the time his father had passed on a mission, Max had already caught up to him in rank. Max is now the captain of his fathers old ship and accompanying fleet of smaller combat vessels. He has since been offered many promotions but he has turned them down. He claims he does not share the Castrens vanity and aspiration and that he is happy where he is. Occupation: Captain of the 'Point of Reference' A ship designed to infiltrate and withstand the deepest depths of enemy fire. Mnay wild cards work on this ship and it is by all means very well known.
Supernatural Abilities: After contracting Moses on a mission, Max developed the ability to produce a super-adrenaline. He tries to keep it relatively under wraps, considering it unnecessary, but it allows him to heighten all of his combat senses, but at the loss of losing some of his own control. The effects he often says are like a temporary steroid, they aren't always useful. A side power would be he can release the adrenaline in vapor, potentially causing all those around him to also go 'berserk' Upon learning he could do this, some of his team started calling him Wrath. It was a near death situation and suddenly all of the team got their second breath. They charged the enemy and took them out better than best. His power is both loved and loathed by himself and others. Preferred Fighting Style: He only uses Castren weapons, but is trained in many others. his preferred location for a battle is the front line, along side his men. He appreciated each and every talent people possess and instinctively uses them to the best of their ability. He is a born leader (in combat atleast) and is well aware of it.
I hope this runs well with you guys I figured this character would have access to government intel

Like his entire family Crepus was taught to kill and follow orders to exactness at a young age, recieving his first gun when he was only 5. His work is not well known due to it always being in secret, however thinking he deserved credit for his skilled shots and aimed cuts, at the age of 18 he asked for some work that would let him become known, the answer he recieved was a burning into his face, A scar that he wears with dishonor.

The World is the final card of the Major Arcana, and as such represents saturnian energies, time, and completion.
The World card pictures a dancer in a Yoni (sometimes made of laurel leaves). The Yoni symbolizes the great Mother, the cervix through which everything is born, and also the doorway to the next life after death. It is indicative of a complete circle. Everything is finally coming together, successfully and at last. You will get that Ph.D. you've been working for years to complete, graduate at long last, marry after a long engagement, or finish that huge project. This card is not for little ends, but for big ones, important ones, ones that come with well earned cheers and acknowledgements. Your hard work, knowledge, wisdom, patience, etc, will absolutely pay-off; you've done everything right.
This looks interesting... maybe I'll join in. First off: apologies for the long description. Read the abridged version if you don't want to go through the whole history and culture of the Watchers - at least what's been told.
The Watchers are a rare breed of beings outside of their home "planet", The Eye. Their home "planet" is in reality, a very, very large satellite in the outer edge of the Milky Way galaxy. No non-Watcher ship can even get close to the satellite, no exceptions. It has false gravity very similar to Earth's gravitational forces. Not much is known about The Eye, except for the fact that its weapons are powerful enough that no ship has survived a few seconds after disobeying the Watcher's warnings. Now, about the Watchers. The Watchers are believed to be heavily genetically modified humans - they won't tell of what they are, they just answer "We are the Watchers." But, some believe they are a different sentient race of beings entirely. All the Watchers seen have been six to eight feet tall, and some a little more (not counting their ears, read on for explanation). They always have long silver hair (long enough to reach their feet), which is either tied back into a ponytail or let hang loose by the males of the race. Females are seemingly non-existent, and are much smaller than the males - the largest one seen was six feet. They also have very long hair, but it has been seen in silver, green, blue, and bright red colors - none are sure if this is natural or a dye. And about the ears, their ears are about a foot and a half long, sharp pointed, and jut up at a near-45 degree angle from their heads. From their ears usually hang rings - two have been spotted without. Some information about their culture has been pried from them, about these rings. Each ring on the right ear represents one thousand years of age - which was the first hint to their alien nature. Each ring on the left ear represents ten duels, or difficult fights (they rarely have difficulty slaying wildlife, and it's uncommon to see them in fights with the humanoid races, but when they are in fights, they always have won). Duels are a Watcher's way of showing off and having fun, apparently. A duel was even witnessed on the capital of the Ultrites - it was an amazing sight - the Watchers were simply blurs. Another unique and alien feature of the Watchers is their chemiluminescence, their ability to glow (not sparkle, mind you) due to chemicals in runic symbols covering their skin (at least what the human races have seen). They also have eyes with runic symbols instead of irises or pupils that glow. From what the humans have seen, each and every one has a different pattern on their eyes, but are very, very similar in appearance otherwise to those of their gender. These eye patterns are obviously how they can differentiate each other - once again something theorists have said that proves their aliens. They say their eyes are the most important parts of their body - every single one would rather lose every limb of his or her body and die a slow, painful death than even take any damage to an eye. The glowing eyes allow them to see very easily in the dark, but they can also be seen by others in darkness. The clothes of choice by males are usually either similar to robes that one would see a Christian priest wearing, or a kind of trench coat with a loose jumpsuit underneath.The color is also very significant - it represents the role of the Watcher among their population. We've been told the following (they seem very willing to tell about their culture, and basically anything that will prevent us from getting on the wrong side of any Watcher, thankfully): (in order from the lowest rank to the highest) No Robes or Coat: Outcast, exile. They are not allowed anywhere other than the Slums in The Eye, which are left alone for the exiles to keep maintained, which they do a poor job of. Being exiled is fairly hard as a Watcher, for if you kill another Watcher for any reason - you are exiled. Kill two or more, and you're killed in front of the whole population as soon as you are captured and returned to The Eye. White: Represents a commoner or one of the non-robotic working class - they are not awarded rings for age or duels, for they are not allowed weapons and are not worthy of being recognized for living long - for if you're a thousand years old and still a commoner, you definitely don't deserve anything other than a quick beheading, said this particular Watcher. Red: A soldier - one of their basic fighting class, they are the most common Watcher. They are allowed to duel, and are awarded age rings. They're really nothing special, for Soldiers are the equivalent of an "Average Joe" middle-class human back on Earth. Gold: Can represent one or more of three things: Royalty, Elite Warriors (Generals, etc), or Wise Ones, which are "retired" Watchers of ages over ten thousand years, which is the same as being fifty, compared to an Earth human. The Watchers are believed to be a monarchy, but they say it's, by our dictionary, an Empire, except their only known territory is The Eye, which is much smaller than a single planet. Black: The Hunters. A Hunter is the most prestigious of ranks, awarded to the most prestigious warriors of all time. The one to give this information said there were only five ever in existence, and two have died of old age - which happens to less than 0.000000001% of the population (for those of you who don't want to count - that means one-billionth of a percent). This translates to about ten Watchers who have died of old age. All the Hunters have completely replaced their non-dominant arm with an entirely mechanical one, with fittings capable of changing to interface with any computer or machine capable of receiving and transmitting data via external port or wireless connection. This arm also comes equipped with a computer with multiple uses (like finding the Universal Time, or intercepting signals and watching free television on-the-go, as well as a bunch more features that are actually useful) and a sheath for carrying a "vibroblade", a sword capable of vibrating at extreme speeds, allowing it to cut through most materials, given time, heating it up to the point where a second degree burn would be instantaneous upon touching it, and it is nearly invincible to laser-related attacks (as in it will break after a lot of attacks from laser weapons, but is just as weak against lasers while it is turned off) while it's vibrating (if lasers for weapons exist at this time) Read the RP, turns out lasers do exist.
Now, for their natural abilities. They all have the ability to See a few seconds "into the future" with their eyes, allowing them to predict movements and see enemies moves before they even happen. This adds an illusion to extreme reaction speed, event though they are only about 25% faster than an average human. This comes at a cost, for it is very tiring to See, as they call it, and many can only use it once every half hour or more.
They have glowing eyes to let them see in the dark, long hair, and one-and-a-half feet long pointed ears. The ears have rings which, on the right side, represent age (each one is 1000 years), and on the left, represent duels (each one is ten duels). The most elite of their kind - called Hunters - have entirely replaced their left arms with machines, capable of interfacing with any machine capable of receiving and sending data. It also contains a sheath for a vibroblade (blade that vibrates really, really fast). They all have the ability to see a few seconds "into the future" with their eyes, allowing them to predict movements and see enemies moves before they even happen. This adds an illusion to extreme reaction speed, event though they are only about 25% faster than an average human. This comes at a cost, for it is very tiring to See, as they call it, and many can only use it once every half hour or more. This might be considered "god-modding" by some people, but I don't think it'll be that much of an advantage when surrounded, for he can only see what's in front of him, and for just a few seconds - and some of the other "core" races have a lot more variety, whereas Watchers simply have one power for one use only.
Name: Xarak Bloodstrider
Gender: Male
Age: 5392 (see race description for explanation)
Species: Watcher
Appearance: He is a typical Watcher in his appearance - sharp features, large eyes, seven-and-a-half feet tall, and his hair is silver, tied in a ponytail, the tip of which is a few inches above the ground when he walks. He wears a black coat and mostly black suit underneath. There are many runes covering his gear which were red - blood red. If one could get close enough to his face - they could see what made him truly unique amongst the Watchers - over his left eye was a scar, and the eye was red, instead of white. But, the runes covering his left eye were different than the one on his right eye. Supposedly this is a birth defect - but Xarak says it never existed before the Civil War (see below for quick description), when a Hunter from the other faction nearly cut his head in two with a vibroblade, but instead he dodged, and it grazed the left side of his face, and simply left the scar and changed his one eye - and this has happened only twice before, the two being twins, and having alternated eye runes (one's left was the same as the others right, and vice versa) - the twins were the leaders of each faction in the Civil War. But, more peculiarly, the symbol matches a symbol in Watcher handwriting that means "cycle" or "blood", depending on the dialect ("Proper" is the former meaning, "Informal" is the latter meaning).
Personality: A slightly less-than-typical Watcher, Xarak is very, very quiet. The most people can pry out of him - including his own kind - is a simple grunt or stare (he has perfected the art of intimidating someone just by staring - this is the more negative reaction of the two mentioned above). He is otherwise blunt and to-the-point, and prefers to be the one who just sits in the background listening, and watching, but at the same time, is a natural-born leader, and seems to be able to manage group tactics perfectly, thus maximizing the efforts of his team. He is also very good at interrogating and getting information from others - he's had five millennium dealing with creatures more cunning or stubborn than humans, so humans are easy to deal with.
History: His history is full of wars and fighting. He was a fighter in the civil war that caused over ninety percent of the Watcher's population to die out - a war that lasted less than two years. This, of course, was aided by their mortal enemy, which has long since died out due to one of the Watcher's allies, who are in another where, another when (both of which were always changing dramatically). He was a fighter in many wars since then, none of which as dramatic as the Civil War. The Civil War is an event that humanoids have only been told about to get them to stop nagging about the Watchers being so uncommon. Over five millennium after the Civil War, Xarak has become one of the best Hunters.
Occupation: Hunter, assigned to perform tasks that assist the Ebon Arrow, for reasons only known by the Royalty. (although Hunters are higher ranks than the Royalty, it is only in honor and skill, and the Royalty still have the right to command and retain information from Hunters)
Supernatural Abilities: His Eyes are capable of Seeing a few seconds into the future and predicting enemy movements. He is also naturally faster than a normal human. The rest is simply skill.
Preferred Fighting Style: He uses a single high-caliber Watcher handgun, which has about enough power to pierce iron and steel like cloth, and even titanium at a closer range. It has an ammo capacity of thirty shots, or ten incendiary rounds (which explode and splatter the area around whatever they hit with a kind of self-igniting super-napalm, which can melt most metals - the napalm stays ignited for about ten seconds). He also uses his vibroblade often, usually whenever facing a being without ranged attacks, or when going through obstacles.
If I missed anything, please point it out for me (or if this "alien race" thing is a bit too far-fetched, or you would rather me be a mutated/adapted human, please say so). In the meantime, this is getting bookmarked.
EDIT: Changed all instances of "almost" to something hopefully easier to understand (read later in this topic to see what confusion my poor word choice caused)
"Power Corrupts." "Knowledge is Power." Thus, Knowledge Corrupts. And since school=knowledge, school = EVIL!

Well, the only thing would be that your guy is older then humanity it self, like he was born 2200 BC and is not one of the first ones. It would fit in since its an alien race and all so but this line bugged me a little "The Watchers are believed to be heavily genetically modified humans" if so, who abducted the prime apes and made them into watchers?
Also your eye ability is similar to the oracle sight, but that is great, thats where the project started, with mimicking the watchers. Maybe even experimenting on them?
Just a simple suggestion: your weapon is far to overpowered both the gun and the sword is too overpowered

"vibroblade", a sword capable of vibrating at extreme speeds, allowing it to cut through almost anything, heating it up to the point where a second degree burn would be instantaneous upon touching it, and it can cut through almost any material like butter (whether the butter is warm and melting or cold and hard as a rock depends on the material), and lasers cannot cut through it while it's vibrating (if lasers for weapons exist at this time).
both of it seems too powerful,if you use them both then your character will be powerful enough too kill an entire army

A race that lived that long would be expected to have such technology, however now we run the risk of every Tom, Dick and Harry wanting to be an alien.
The easiest solution to this would be a weakness, a fault or a lie within the history. If you already had one planned just write it here in the sign up, or make one up. Also, even if you post a weakness here, we will not start the RP with everyone knowing, that would be cruel. Instead we'll let you reveal the weakness in your own time.
However, I'm troubled about something else: The main point of this RP is to stop the angels in Eden, which means that (by game law) the angels have to be more powerful than us.
That's all And I wouldn't say your character is God-modding, they're just fairly over-powered.
You say their eyes are more important than life to them. What if certain 'bounty hunters' scour the galaxy blinding Watchers and then killing them, selling their eyes at remarkable price among the darker sections of the galaxy.
How to blind? A project of course. A universal vision-fuck up device: A device that for a few moments magnifies the electro-magnetic spectrum directly in front of it, causing visible light to become more damaging than UV-C radiation.
For reasons not fully understood this completely destroys the vision processes of almost everyone to come into contact with it. Studies have shown that vision returns over an extended period of time, but a constant blur is burned into the retinas.
It is this burning that Watcher's fear. However, no one even knows these bounty hunters exist except people who have visited the outer sections of the human colonies.
<---- just an idea
Again, I don't think its an illegal race, it follows the rules. However it might become too popular and I'd rather just have one very powerful alien rather than four or five. This game is mostly about humans after all.

I have some problems with Kisuke Urahara and Xarak's profiles. Everyone else's profiles are just fine.
@Kisuke Your profile is not complete. If you can actually get a planet name and remove the future items under history. I know you have the benefit of knowing where the plot is headed from the discussion topic, but if you want to join Ebon arrow during the first mission, write yourself into the story rather than ask for this to happen in your profile.
@Xarak First off, I just love your contribution. Unfortunately, I also have some problems with the race and profile. The problem I have is the combination of powers. Being able to see a few seconds into the future is perfectly fine for me. The problem is, I don't think we can pair that up with increased speed and agility. We have to ask yourself, how can your character be in a fair fight? So far I don't see it. If someone tries to shoot a Watcher, they'll predict it, take evasive measures which normal people won't be able to keep up with. I don't mind powers to make characters hard to hit, but the way I see it, the only way for a non-watcher to defeat a Watcher, is to get them from behind while their guard is down.
If you can explain how another race could handle a one on one fight against a Watcher, then I'll accept it. If not, I would recommend ditching the abnomal speed.
Also have problems with the weapons. How is a handgun supposed to handle the recoil for the power to punch through steel? Also, no one is safe against your weapon. If someone takes cover, they're still dead.
As for the arm, I fine with it cutting through steel, just not like a hot knife through butter. Once again, no one is safe from it, you can just waltz into any building you want, etc.
I just see too much potential for such weapons to allow for godmodding. I know this is the future but we don't want to deal with super weapons on this kind of scale.
Planet Verde The migrants of earth colonized a planet with nearly identical conditions to Earth. In consequence, the humans encountered another intelligent life form. (possibly the one Ziosin conceived) After a quick battle for dominance, the humans reigned supreme, accepting the other species as an expendable source of labor. This uttered in the industrial age for the planet. An amazing architectural achievement of Verde is the space elevators. Structures that can transport trade goods, supplies, and people to the multiple space stations surrounding the planet. This allows for efficient trade between colonies as interplanetary vessels never have to actually land on the ground. The technological advancements over time have gradually improved the cognitive capabilities of the human population. Able to focus on multiple tasks, and process the constant stream of information surrounding their daily lives, the people of Verde could be regarded (theoretically) as the most intelligent branch. Because of these factors, Verde has become the biggest economic powerhouse of all colonies. The upper and middle class enjoy one of the highest standards of living, whereas the lower class and the native species live in poverty, usually in the slums.
Promptly after the evacuation of Earth in 2200 the star fleet Lambda wandered the outer reaches of space for approximately 2 years. In 2202 the fleet encountered a planet containing near identical conditions to that of Earth. Relative similar distance from the sun, gravity, climate, vegetation, resources, etc. Minor differences were the land mass taking 60% of the planet's surface, 40% being oceans, an acceleration due to gravity of 9.43 m/s2 as opposed to Earth's 9.81 m/s2, An atmosphere with a Nitrogen percentage of 72.3% and oxygen 26.4%. One major difference is the rotation and orbit. The planet rotates faster than Earth, creating an 18 hour day. The orbital period is also faster creating approximately a 232 day year.
The fleet landed close to the western shore of one of Verde's two continents where they encountered the native Verdians(using your species Ziosin): A species which shared the same physical characteristics as humans, except for a birthmark the appears on their chests. These humanoid's intelligence was primitive but their physical abilities and senses were greater, proving to be great slaves.
A two-week struggle ensued as the colony and native tribes fought for the supremacy. The colony equipped with advanced weaponry made short work of the rebels with their primitive weapons. The race finally acknowledged its place among humans and stopped the futile resistance. A month later, the first settlement was established.
The Conquest of Verde began. Humans explored the outer reaches of the continents and continued to enslave the other native tribes. By around 2203, the geography of the continent was fully established. The rest of Verde would be explored by 2220.
Around 2230 Verde entered the industrial phase. With an untapped supply of resources, an expendable labor force, and an incentive to industrialize within the first generation, Verde went under a drastic change. Infrastructure was quickly redesigned; cities were erected, and the first satellite communications were launched. This industrial era established a modern structure to society.
Post industrialization, people had accumulated enough wealth to pursue their own projects. (not plot-line projects, but rather studies, and technological applications) With less demand for specialized labor, the middle, and lower classes began to emerge again. (Within the human species of course). During this period, many operations were ignored by the government (corruption become a rumor) sparking the rise of illegal activities. As time went on criminal activity became widespread, and the upper class began to undermine the lower-middle class.
By 2360, civil war broke out. Although the upper class had footholds in society and the military, the lower class was able to rouse support from the native Verdians. Outnumbered massively, the government was forced into reform and a democracy was restored in 2364. This event was a leap in the rights of the natives also. However, they still find themselves within the lowest class of society, living in the slums.
From 2364 onwards, society recovered from the repercussions of the civil war, and kept to the status quo. Projects continued, but now under the strict supervision of the government.
In 2500 first contact was made between colonies. Immediately the government announced its biggest project ever: the Space Elevator, which usurer the second industrial Age of Verde. The Space Elevator united specialized workers, engineers, and architects of many colonies. The project put technology and the capabilities of "human-kind" to the ultimate test. By 2522, the first Space Elevator was completed, giving Verde the a powerful position in intergalactic economics. A second Space Elevator was also built on the Verde's second continent in 2580. At present, a third Space Elevator is in the works.
The Space Elevator revolutionized planet to space transportation, allowing for the movement of resources, goods, and people into outer space without having to launch space vessels from ground level. The Space Elevator is a giant pillar reaching the borderline between thermosphere and exosphere; (about 500 km tall) connecting to space stations orbiting (fixed) Verde. The Space Elevator is staffed by over 50 000 people of a diverse selection of species. The space stations act as the spaceport, housing all of Verde and other planet's space vessels, for interspaces transportation.
The second age of industrialization, of course, brought about another period of government deregulation. Illegal projects (yes this time the plot ones) began to arise yet again, although this time in the discrete cover of underground organizations. Eventually (some time passed 2700) the public gained insight to these abominable projects and held a protest. The government under pressure took action to find and eradicate these Projects. The attempt has been successful in cases; however, no one knows just how many are still operational.
Verde is relatively close to many other inhabited planets making it the economic center for commerce. (might post approximate distances after other planets are made)
The ecosystem of the Verde was similar to that of Earth. At one point the the planet was covered with rich forests, grasslands, and aquatic environments. The ecosystem is a rare sight for most Verdians. The cities are so large that the sight of a tree is rare. The environment has been a controversial issue and the government was under pressure to conserve it. Under the Environment Act, half the continent must be dedicated preserving the ecosystem. As one moves further and further away from the Space Elevator where the buildings and commerce is at its peak, the frequency of industrial structures diminishes until one finds him/herself in the wilderness.
Planet Asgard Being far away from any sources of light, the planet's temperature is very below average, the planet's landscape is mostly composed of tall freezing peaks and snow plains. Water can only be obtained by digging in deep within the planets frozen seas. The main way of transport on the planet are hover cars/bikes, seeing as boats have no water to float into and the planet's skies are usually very stormy. The thunderstorms in Asgard are very common and strong, usually followed by either snow or cloudy skies. To either leave or enter the planet, it must be done at key times and locations, or the thunderstorms will most likely take the ship down.
Planet Barrinic One of the first Vessels to leave earth before its fall left in 2190, fearing its doom they tried to get as far away as possible. They crash landed on a planet 7 years later, a frozen, apparently barren land. The gravity was the same as earth, however its air is thinner due to it being mostly mountainous or frozen plains. The warmth that sustains life on this planet comes from its own three moons, which are easily compared to etremly small suns. The people who survived the crash adapted faster then they had ever expected but no one complained, believing it to be a mircle, (In reality it was the effect of a project). The people quickly organized their own civilazations on the planet in caves in the mountains, and studied their new land and lived peacfully and prospurose on it. The only vegitation that grows is found deep in caves and fissures. Inhabbited by six legged beasts that resemble deer, named Hexpods, Thusleading to the people having more of a carnivorous diet. Throughout the next five decades they dedicated their lives to meditation, study, and work on making their society better. They developed farms of the native animals and of the plant life growing there. The city which had grown the most was later named "Orvic" Due to its numerous amount of minerals, and space for farming. It quickly grew into a subterranian metropollus.
In the year 2285 they noticed movement in the sky and started to prepair for the worst, harvesting minerals from the mountains, they built suits of heavy metal to protect their flesh from guns. In the end it was just paranoia, as when the first outlanders landed, they didn't come to invade or slaughter. To further to the friendship they had made with the others, they had built and dedicated a gigantic "Dome", within the dome was a paradise, close to what had once been called "A winter wonderland" back on their planet of origin.
In 2430, The people of Barrinic launched thier first space station. Orbiting the planets main city "Orvic" The station was made to inform others of the terrain that was on Barrinic and to aid in tourism to the Dome. Paranoia settled in again for some of them in 2460, fearing that others wouldn't be so friendly to them or their culture they made spaceships, not for war, but escape, after many years of peace, the people didn't like the idea of weapons, even though they were big in stature, and physically strong. The ships they made are un-armed, but can outrun anything else made due to its sleek design. These ships were named Cheetas.
2510 Everone calmed down, and they launched a few Cheetas to go and explore space, They met up with others and slowly started to populate colonies all over. The distance from Barrinic to the closest colony is 1/2 a light year. (How fast are ships going to travel?)
2XXX (present) Barrinic is still mostly wastland however a few smaller domes have joined to the original making it inhabitable by other races. The planets main source of income comes from tourisim, and sporting compitions. The ones who governs Barrinic is a counsel of the 12 elders, six Oles, and six Sipuls. The idea of governing is fairly new, but the eldest being in charge is somthing they have had for ages.
Planet Ultrus X A small planet that resembles earth in its prime natural state, full of plant life, mountains, and great oceans. Inhabbited by many diverse species of reptiles. The most notable is the giant reptiles, dubbed Dragons, for there resemblance to the beasts in ancient Earth text. Those who landed built great buildings of stone, and refused to go back to the ways that helped ruin their old home. To aid in keeping themselves in line, they made many laws and rules for their cities to abide by. They named themselves Ultrites, after their planet. Ultrites have tougher skin then humans, horns, and a wide range in both hair color and skin color, but have thinner blood. The most notable mutation among them is the abilty to make 'Essence'. Essence is a manifestation of ones own life in the form of a weapon, resembling psionic crystal, which can be put away or brought out at will. Every Ultrite has the potential to make up to two Essences, the style of their Essance is somthing they are born with. Commonly only one is used, and if there Essance breaks, the creator dies, however if the Ultrite dies, its Essence can go on. Ultrites believe in Justice, Honour and Loyalty above everything else. These creations were often given biblical names, the most predominant of which was moses. Moses could release his DNA in bacterial form and infect others with a possible ability, and also mutated sex cells towards a common embryo. This meant that any infected 'Humans' could inter-breed, and their child would grow up to be one of the two species, with certain traits of the other.

Name: Lloyd "Razor" Sin Gender: Male Age: 237 Species: Ziodar - A species that has the ability to create visible, blue energy with nothing but their mind. They can use this energy to enhance their own abilities, as well as create weapons or transportation. They have the strength, however, of a normal human, and can only withstand the same climate as them as well. Another benefit is their extremely long lifespan of 600 years. Appearance: Lloyd's first and foremost features are his Snowy-White hair and his Icy-Blue eyes. He prefers wearing his skin-tight full-body, short-sleeved suit with gloves. He wears all black. He has a pale skincolor, and his hair is mid-back-length. He's slim, but toned. He has a clean-shaven face with handsome features. Personality: A friendly guy, usually, but when he's determined to do something important, he can become very cold and adamant, with a piercing array of insults and metallic vocabulary; Hence his nickname "Razor". History: Lloyd has been a loner since the day he was "born". His people, few in number, were created from normal humans to have the mental capacity of a computer. Instead of gaining intelligence, however, they gained strange psycho-active abilities. He's worked on the Ebon Arrow for the past few years as a Spec-Ops agent, being assigned into the most stealthy operations. They made sure to use his abilities to their fullest extent. Occupation: He's worked on the Ebon Arrow for the past few years as a Spec-Ops Agent, being assigned to the most stealthy operations. His power allows him to cloak himself in times of need, as well as unlock doors, and create weapons. He's become an expert at being virtually undetectable.
Supernatural Abilities: Lloyd has the unnatural ability to create weapons, items, transportation, cloaking, and... Well, pretty much anything he wants out of mental energy. However, using it too strenuously can leave him with a splitting headache and mental exhaustion. If he uses his power past their extent, he would die of brain hemorrhaging. Preferred Fighting Style: His fighting style revolves around filling an empty knife handle with an energy blade of any length he wishes. He can also magnify his hand-to-hand abilities with his power, increasing the speed and overall power of his strikes.

History: Grew up in a depressing enviroment, Rayd learned to humour himself by insulting others. He got out of the habit of making undesirable comments as he got older, however he still did it every once in a while. He was given a small transport ship and started making short distance deliveries, the routes began to get longer and sometimes dangerous so he bought a simple handgun and practiced using it. He eventually bought a much larger transport ship and began delivering materials to Ebon Arrow for their employee's, including guns and explosives, Rayd chose to not ask to many questions and was invited to be a personal pilot to whoever needed a ride while not busy transporting weapons.

Hmm... Sci-fi's really not my forte, but I'll take a stab at it.
Name: Garret Prescott Gender: Male Age: 32 Species: New Veridan Appearance: Tall and lanky. Has short, slightly spiky blond hair and pale blue eyes. He shaves carelessly and frequently has ragged stubble. He wears black a patch over his right eye, he doesn't need to wear it, he just thinks it makes him look cool. Wears simple, casual clothing, and has a trademark bomber style black jacket. The back is emblazoned with the Jolly Roger emblem and the phrase "Scum of the Galaxy". Personality: Garret puts up a front of being a dufus, but he's actually extremely intelligent and quite calculating, and only acts goofy in order to catch his opponents off guard, or more often, just out his own weird sense of humor. He's mechanically adept, the customizations on his ship are his own work, as are the gizmos he carries with him. His ship, "The Black Cat" is his "baby", anyone who hurts her will feel his wrath. Despite being a pirate, Garret is basically a nice guy. He doesn't believe in excessive violence for the sake of violence and avoids civilian targets, which has made him a fairly popular figure among lower class New Veridans. He's not happy about his current situation and plays fast and loose with Ebon Arrow regulations. He loves a good cigar and is almost always chomping on one. History: Garret Prescott was a notorious pirate who raided military convoys around Verde. He was born into a poor, underprivileged family, but Garret was a talented boy who managed to attend a prestigious university on a scholarship; mainly by falsifying his permanent record. He graduated with honors and gained a degree in engineering. He decided to use his education to strike back at the power structure, and turned to a life of piracy. He stole a military battleship and hired a crew of like-minded individuals. With a talented and loyal crew and a battleship highly modified for speed and maneuverability, ship after ship fell to him. However, during one raid, he was defeated and captured by Ebon Arrow mercenaries. Their commander gave Garret a choice; work for them, or be turned over to the Veridan military to face justice. The choice was obvious, and Garret and his crew became Ebon Arrow operatives, their good behavior guaranteed by bomb collars attached to their necks. Occupation: "Reformed" pirate and Ebon Arrow operative. (Cuz' pirates are awesome. Space pirates moreso.) Supernatural Abilities: A winning smile. Yeah... no. He's a vanilla New Veridan. Preferred Fighting Style: Garret likes to rely on fisticuffs and his Batman-esque array of gadgetry, but if you piss him off, he'll just shoot you.
If anything's not okay, just tell me.

"Game development is a very special job that requires a very special person. The high stress levels often drive our staff members to become...subhuman. They're violent and need to be caged. But we need them to make good games. This is the unfortunate truth of the game industry." - Segagaga
Project "Legion" One of the most primal of the experiments, Legion is a huge bulky monstrosity with a huge mouth, many eyes, and three lengthy arms. It uses its arms to grab surrounding organisms and consume them, once satisfied it falls asleep, closing all of its eyes and vomits out a cocoon with a new hybrid race inside. Legion was deemed a failed project due to it requiring a large sacrifice of life, and it was impossible to predict. It was last seen on a ship that was latter listed as MIA.
Project "Hydra" Project Hydra was developed to enhance human fighting capabilities, namely creation of PSI arms. PSI arms are seemly invisible arms that grows from the subjects spine, it could be seen with heat sensors since they generate heat equal to the bodies temperature. The PSI arms grow and multiplies at random and in some cases disappeared all together, the power from the arms varied as well but overall the project was successful all though the subjects where unreliable. Project hydra was then stolen by other underground organization and have taken different routes in development, some furthering the research to make the PSI arms more stable on human hosts other to implant them on biomechanical beings.
Project "Belial" Project Belial was a project that would create a drug that raised a man’s over all ability, a super drug that would turn a man into a fighting machine. It became known as the "killer drug" because it had a high fatal chance when using it. If the person inhales too much the intestinal would rip and the person would die from internal bleeding within seconds. It also happened that the person would survive the massive effect but he would go completely insane. The drug was of course never officially released but it became a rare bargain at the black markets.
Project "Shadowscythe" "Shadowscythe" was created by a bio-terrorist group, this parasite will attach itself to the host's brain, the first symptoms of infection are loss of coordination, skin necrosis and insanity. After a while, the host will become something very close of a zombie, in the final stages, it can infect other people through bite, scratches or even extended exposition. All of the parasites come from a "mother", it's location and appearance are still unknown, it is believed to be something that is always constantly evolving seeing as all "cures" created for this virus are all temporary.
Project "Daniel" Daniel was a series of frequencies developed to study nearby life-forms, and then coax them into docile behavior. The frequencies were emitted from a small hand-held device and had an 85% success rate within a radius of 50 feet. But 85% was deemed to impractical for extreme exploration, it only takes one beast in one hundred to kill you. The 'peace wave' as it was commercially known was released to the public, but soon withdrawn when tampered versions could affect 'humans' as well. Many unmodified and modified versions still circulate. Both are illegal to sell on most planets, but only the modified versions are illegal to own.
Project "Omega" Created to end all the problems with lack of resources, pollution, and destruction. Trillions of Nanobots working as one intelligent life form. Taking the appearance of a metallic man, Omega was sent to an un-inhabited wasteland of a planet to create a metropolis full of resources and capable of supporting life. It was able to fulfill its function, but after making the news, it was destroyed to stop it from producing resources to feed war. A Single nanobot remains in a stasis lock in a forgotten lab.
Project "DaVinci" One of the few original projects made by the organization. DaVinci is not a being, but a construct. It is a supercomputer imbued with a biological thinking capability. Because of it's biological intelligence, DaVinci helps design, create, and improve advanced machines that the scientists can sell off to militias, mercenaries, and other colonies for revenue for making the other Projects. DaVinci also stores all of the information about the Projects, and can safeguard them based on its own personal judgment of the person accessing the information. It is also the most powerful supercomputer (un)known to man, and it also has the capability to learn and negotiate.
Project K-9 Project K-9 were first intended to be used to improve the police department. After years of selective breeding, genetic modifications, and cognitive restructuring, scientists have created a species of Dog capable of human thought and speech. Project K-9 revolutionized the ability to fight crime as the direct communication between man and dog expanded the crime force into a whole dimension of clues (scent) as well as greater efficiency in tracking. The specific species of dog have also been breed to be absolutely loyal and selfless, thus, AWOL dogs are not very common. Luckily, they are treated very well, and usually given the care, any dog would want. All K-9's of this species are to be registered under the RIA (Record of Intelligent Animals) act, but of course, many find themselves in the black market, or under the possession of unauthorized persons.
Project: "3:16" This project was the cause of over a million death. This project was a branch of Project Angel and was started at the time of 3:16 a.m. When they were close to making it, some scientist decided to create one that will last forever. They wanted to map out the genome and add, remove, and change it so that it would create a race that would live forever. Scientist tested many ways: Surgery on a molecular level, testing on babies while it was being born in the womb, and having subjects drink a serum to see if when absorbed it will change the gene. That got close in creating the gene that would make a immortal perfect race.
Project "Samson" A virus designed to infect the muscle cells of a human. It would gradually increase muscle tissue exponentially over the course of a few days before the virus dies out from no means of reproduction. After this muscle tissue would decrease back to original size. Constant dosage is safer than steroids and has become a boom in the black market.
Project "IRIS" Another government approved project. IRIS involved the surgery upon the subject’s eye and implanting additional sensory mechanisms. In addition, a processing chip was inserted in the occipital lobe of the brain to help with the greater visual input. The intended result was to create soldiers with abilities to adjust eyesight for certain distances, read body language to a greater degree, and react to the most subtle movements: an ability to dodge fire before the oppose could pull the trigger. IRIS was abandoned after many subjects suffered from anxiety and other psychological effects from just the enhanced sensory input from normal everyday life.
Project "Gemini" Project Gemini was created by a man who was afraid of death, this scientist cheated death by further the research of cloning a human being. This research was considered illegal because of the fact humans needed to die if new ones was to be crated, in theory that is. The procedure of the cloning was to clone the brain, not the actual body.
Up to this part it was mostly legal, but what came next was not. They created empty human husks. They had succeeded in creating a human being but not only that, they could alter the human being to fit their liking. Afterwards they cloned the brain and charged the empty human with that information. Thus creating a clone of himself to take over.
The government put an stop to the scientist and confiscated the research and all the equipment for "save keeping"
Project "Fail-Safe" After one scientist went rogue and attempted to take down the lab, a super mech was built. The robot's design, size and appearance are completely unknown. Some scientists think it's just to scare them, but any who ever went rogue were killed before causing any real damage.
Project "Metamorphosis" An illegal project devised by an obsessive Entomologist. Metamorphosis, involved the experiments on many subjects, manipulating genes and bodily functions to mimic that of insects, creating a species of "bug-people." The results varied on subjects. While many died, certain ones had successfully achieved "metamorphosis" to a certain degree. Some subjects were overwhelmed, becoming no more than a basic insect (even if human sized), while others became hybrid species sharing certain physical traits with insects, or abilities to shift in and out of an insect-like form. One of the valued subjects was one who demonstrated all the super physical abilities like those of an insect, without change to him/her as a species.
