[OOC Board] Eternal Galaxy: Phoenix

[Cucoo5]

Ok before I head off, I think there's some confusion in the Palace

The technician and Achlys are not the same person.

[Cucoo5]

@S1

What weapons are we saying John has at this time?

@ SUS + S1

Thought: Have the Doctor work on booting up the system and have something go wrong and then he recovers the system but they then realize there's an issue in the system that needs resolving that involves the main thruster. This would then lead to John having to go down and fix the issue and then we can have the Doctor finish the process of calibrating the core for it.

[SUSTIC]

@Cucoo
Got it.

Will work on a post when I'm not... needing to rush to the bathroom every 20-30 minutes

[S121]

@Cucoo

12.7 x 40mm (Semi-Armor Piercing,High Explosive) M6D Magnum Pistol, a 9.5x40mm (Semi-Armor Piercing,High Explosive) BR85HB SR Battle Rifle, 4 fragmentation grenades, 4 plasma grenades, 1 Carbon Steel Combat Knife, and EB Green Duct Tape.

He has that, then anything his armor can do, such as slamming into things, quake smashes, and a couple of unconventional attacks.

[Cucoo5]

Ok

So if there is a Nihiliod, those will only knock it around. It'll shrug off any of those things so It'll be like trying to keep them at bay instead of actually trying to kill them.

Also if we keep the concept that the armor is based on AETHER Armor, then I'll permit some additional abilities relating to Gaia and Aura Energy. I.E. being able to discharge a burst of energy from it to actually do a bit more to the Nihiliods to help slow them/wound them which could lead into distracting them with their more cannibalistic nature to consume their wounded.

[Kilelicus]

PHENOM GOT DRAWN WHEEEEEEEE

Spoiler: Phenom Ortus

[Cucoo5]

Ok so I've been working out how I need to proceed with Phoenix and it's overall place in the timeline. And I finally know how. By completely severing it from the timeline. The Hunteri are "ghosts" that appear in place of Nihiliods. So basically that means that anyone who was talking to a Nihiliod has been talking to an illusion. Now I'm going to leave a few constants to keep things grounded in some sort of reality, such as Aion (but not the Aion the group met), Nemesis and Mimi. The Deiarcs are also going to be mostly unaffected but there is only like a dozen in the whole galaxy. The mood of those mentioned is that the end is near, they're there to tie up loose ends. Aion is accepting the end of the Universe but he wants to make sure that the Void and the Nihiliods go down with the Universe. So similar "Stop the Void" concept just different end result.

Thoughts?

[SUSTIC]

FUCK U DONT YELL AT MEH. I just. Love Overwatch's characters too much and have been doing a lot of talking with S1 and this character will be on Nevaras as a actual story related character for the upcoming 'semi-final' arc of the Desert Planet.))

Spoiler:

Name: Jackson Millard AKA Junkrat now ((DON'T BLAME

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Race: Technically a cyborg. Has a robotic arm and robotic peg-leg.

Inventory:
Junkrat has quite a bit.
The Frag Launcher

Spoiler:

A homemade Grenade Launcher with a flywheel Launcher mechanism (it uses a spinning wheel to propel the bombs which are also homemade.) The bombs look like little red baseballs. The explosive power of these homemade bombs are equal to that of a modern day Frag Grenade. The Grenade Launcher can hold about 6 of these bombs before he needs to reload, which thankfully he carries 2 pouches. One on each side of his belt, and each one holds 6.

He also has 2 remote detonated Land Mines that he can deploy and detonate at will... which he is rather reckless with.

Though his main Grand Finale is the Wheel Bomb.
A large wheel he carries on his back which is outfitted with a engine, and proper mechanics to allow it to spin and roll along the ground on it's own. It is also armed with high-end explosives about equal to 20 pounds of C4. It's remotely controlled by him, and is his most cherished explosive he's ever made. Unfortunately he has not yet found a chance to use this weapon. He's been waiting for the perfect chance and moment to use it. So far he only has one of these wheel bombs.

Personality:
Jackson is... not a stable man mentally. At all. He's legally classified as criminally insane. He often hears things in his head, has a hard time focusing on something that isn't destruction or explosive related. As such he is a man with a large amount of energy, who has a hard time focusing that energy, and just in general loves anything that goes 'boom'. For his favorite thing is explosions. The sound of them, the feeling of a shockwave hitting him, and just watching and causing them is like heaven for this insane little man.

However aside from that Jackson is actually not THAT bad of a man. Yes he'd rather blow stuff up, but he does still want respect and recognition. He desires something a bit more, but he finds blowing stuff up to just be... too fun. He can be rather polite at times, but has a rather crude sense of humor and ways of showing his affection. He also is sort of... hostile towards colonist because they kicked him out because he was 'too insane'. In fact he has a bit of a personal vendetta against Miranda since she was the one who directly kicked him out. Especially after he sorta confessed his feelings of love towards her. Currently he can be best described as 'racist towards colonists', and hateful towards Miranda. Though he still does have a bit of affection towards her.

He often can be heard muttering stuff in his sleep. Rather... dark stuff.

History:
Jackson grew up and lived most of his life on the colony of CY-001 after arriving here about 15 years ago. At first he was welcomed as a part of the community. He was... a normal citizen in general until one day he disappeared from the colony. As if he just vanished over night... He was gone for weeks, months even. By the time he showed up again it was in town hall, laughing psychotically with a look in his eyes indicating that... he had seen things that he shouldn't have. The man would not stay reasonable or even sit still. He was constantly running around the colony just causing some havoc. It was as if the man known as Jackson Millard had disappeared. Eventually though he was subdued and properly sedated to calm him down, though when the sedatives wore off he was still... uneasy. Suffering from some kind of neurosis, Jackson was under constant watch. Even when he was interrogated he showed a lack of memory of what happened to him when he went missing... They had no choice but to continue keeping an eye on him.

Over time he began to begin craving something. He couldn't tell what it was, but one day during a celebration for the colony he saw the booming and bright lights of fireworks in the night sky... Which caught his attention and kept him entranced as he watched the fireworks burst high up in the sky. That's when he began... tinkering with other things that go boom. Eventually though he was found out about he was doing and put under even TIGHTER watch. However when he found himself being physically attacked by some of the guards for something he DIDN'T DO, but was blamed for. He saw how Miranda had came in and scolded the guard's before calling them off. Seeing this Jackson began to develop a bit of a second interest in the woman who showed him one act of kindness.

However that interest soon became a sick obsession with her. He was almost stalkerish in a way and almost got in trouble a few times, but thankfully wasn't caught due the bustling crowds of Nevaraas's main headquarters.

Eventually Jackson wanted to show Miranda how he feels... but he wanted to do something flashy. Something big... either go big or go home he figured so he decided to do something new... It took months to prepare. Almost a whole year in fact, but eventually he finally did it. He finally thought of a plan to show his feelings torwards Miranda... What he did though was... a little too much. He had set up, in the town hall a set up a 'fireworks' show with homemade fireworks set up to form "I <3 U MIRANDA." When he was outside in the town hall in the center of his little message, he was yelling up to Miranda with a megaphone. When the guard's caught wind of this they came to the chief and informed her of what was happening which prompted her to look out the window.

What she saw though was horrifying. When he launched the fireworks they went flying high up into the sky before exploding, but instead of the typical firework's sparks and colorful light's... these fireworks were legitimate explosions that, despite how high they were, caused quite a bit of property damage...

This was the last straw. When Miranda came down Jackson was giggling to himself like a giddy schoolboy on Christmas. He just pulled off one of his largest scale explosions, and when he saw Miranda approaching he was thinking she had liked it... Unfortunately what he met was a fist to the face, and boot to the groin before being handcuffed. After a severe public humilation of being arrested and everything he was done he was shocked. He thought in his head that he had did good. That Miranda had liked what he did, but with how her and everyone reacted he was... confused. It was clear at this point to everyone who was there that... Jackson was NOT a safe person at all. At least for the colony, and as such he was promptly exiled from CY-001. This was... a major hit in his feelings... he tried to return, but when guards aimed at him and prepared to open fire he ran off... into the desert...

Soon he disappeared over the horizon.


Bio:
As Jackson roamed the desert he kept thinking of what happened. How everyone reacted and treated him... how he was... kicked out... his feelings and expression of love was completely rejected in one of the worst ways he could have imagined. Anger was beginning to build up inside of him... However a lack of food and water became too much under the hot sun and soon he passed out. He was pretty much left for dead... save for a small caravan of bandits who had came across him. Seeing him they were curious, picked him up, and took him to one of the old and abandoned mining outposts that is now a bandit hideout. When he came to he was shocked at what happened, and seeing the bandits he was a bit scared. However after being questioned about his story he told them... then some of the bandits shared their own stories, and soon Jackson became more and more... welcomed. He saw and found that he was more accepted in this group of bandits than he was at the colony... and his anger towards the colony was soon turning into a vile hatred. A focused hatred.

Eventually Jackson began mingling and became more in-tune with the bandits. He was always scavenging for various things, junk that he could use to build new parts for bigger explosions. Stuff he could use to get his revenge on the colony that kicked him out. He spent that last year scavenging for parts, building and experimenting, and after losing a literal arm and a leg. He had to re-build it with parts he found. Something that came surprisingly easy. For he had managed to build a working hand and peg-leg out of junk parts (with... some serious help from other bandits.) He even built his own grenade launcher and various other explosives. Soon... Jackson became no more as the bandits began calling him a name he found oddly attractive...

Junkrat, and with this title a new leader of the Bandits was now born.

Now Junkrat has finished with his preparations, and with a rousing speech to his fellow bandits. They are now on their way to the colony to get their revenge.


Notes:

Just because Junkrat is insane DOES NOT MEAN HE IS DUMB. He has a hard time focusing, but he does have enough mechanical know how to jury rig some machines (essentially making makeshift repairs/weaponry/vehicles) out of various parts. He especially knows his way around explosives of many kinds.

Due to some past test-runs that fell Junkrat has also lost feeling in most of his body. Meaning he can't feel pain unless the injuries are really deep like broken bones or gunshot wounds deep. But light injuries and other sensations he cannot feel. This causes him to be a bit more reckless than other bandits.

Since you can guess from where I based this character, you can also guess I like SUSTIC's app too :P


(THIS thing took me like 2 hours, was actually scared it might be lost for internet being grumpy ^^; )

Name: Angela Lindholm

Gender: Female

Appearance: Images do better jobs than words

Spoiler:

http://pre08.deviantart.net/6c8c/th/...07-da22gsv.jpg

Race: Human

Profession and/or Talents: Angela´s abilities are branched in two areas, her medical work as a nanobiologist and combat actions. Starting with the one she was known for in her colony, Angela was a scientist focused on the area of nanobiology, trying to understand the cells and finding ways to restore damaged cells with nanotechnology, such research took years of her life until reaching the breakthrough of not only repairing injuries and infections, but managing to restore dead cells, destroying fatal sicknesses, injuries that would render lost limbs and restore the actual tissue, and even the impossible, restoring a living being to full health from the flat line, or as we know it better, resurrecting from the dead.

In terms of combat, Ángela uses her staff as a mobile health regeneration supplier in the form of a beam of light attached to the target, she is what the military would see as a combat medic, going on the frontline to help the injured, but also being able to defend herself with her energy pistol, an emergency side arm that, while not being something of great caliber as an assault rifle, it can do its job against enemies.

Her hybrid job of fighting and researching as a medical scientist has given Angela the experience as a professional doctor, while also being able to defend herself against hostiles.


Inventory: The doctor usually carries her staff and energy pistol with her, they both work only by her DNA signature.

The staff can work as a Bo staff to fight in melee combat, being able to reach the length of Angela´s height as its front part could work as a blunt weapon to crush someone's skull with enough strength and momentum, but its main ability is the one of regenerating a target´s vitals to the point of optimal health in the form of a ray of light, although that is what the normal human eye can see, but on a zoomed view, the light is actually made of artificial multi-purpose cells that can adapt to the target´s body, its garments and even electronic and metallic elements, for example an armored soldier, if he or she were to lose a limb by an explosion, Angela´s staff, if she reaches fast enough, could reattach the damaged limb if it is a clean cut or by "re-creating" the lost pieces of flesh and bone, to the point of having the new limb and armor as if nothing would have happened.

The emergency side-arm is what it is, a pistol with 20 rounds of energy bullets, their might not be the strongest kind of weaponry, but have enough kick to hurt a shielded and armored target if enough rounds hit it. The ammunition of the pistol is of a constantly recharging battery that only needs to be "kickstarted" every time the ammunition depletes. The side-arm is fast and has a constant trajectory, ignoring the arc of gravity that a kinetic bullet would have.

Now here comes the interesting thing about Angela's inventory, the Valkyrie suit, this armor, while not the best in terms of defense, protects the doctor while she is either in combat or exploring dangerous areas, like radiation zones, high pressured depths of water, and even the nothingness of space, this suit was made by Angela through her work to be able to go further in her job, adding solar charged wings to be able to fly and roam the skies, underwater, or the vacuum of space. It is a slick, adaptable and easy to fix suit that has given the platinum haired woman to keep researching and protecting those in need.

Spoiler:

http://img06.deviantart.net/b5f2/i/2015/274/2/a/mercy___overwatch___close_look_at_model_by_plank_6 9-d9bm4j7.png

Personality: A caring soul that always wants to help, Angela Lindholm is usually an optimistic person that would be hard to be saddened, yet when it comes to her work, she becomes a serious and authoritative person who focuses on the job, even in the middle of a firefight, you would see her protecting the injured by healing them with one hand and firing her pistol with the other one.

Bio: Born from one of the space colonies of the galaxy, Angela Lindholm had a fascination with exploring and helping those in need, although it all started with trying to make a crying kid smile as he was injured while playing on the park. Her parents were scientists in the colony, her mother was the chief of the medical branch while her father was one of the commanders in the military section, while they were serious on their jobs, both parents could be sunshines for the young Angela, that is how she decided to be like her parents, saving those in need and fighting for justice.

Years passed as a teenager Lindholm was on her mother´s lab, trying to find a way to use nanotechnology as a way to restore the damaged tissue on injuries, who would have thought that her first subject was herself as she sliced her arm and spilled the yellow colored samples of her work on the bleeding cut, to her surprise, the injury started healing right in front of her eyes. Not caring about the mess, Angela started checking the elements that the samples had, trying to understand what mixtures were used to have such a powerful reaction.

Her mother found a sleeping seventeen year old girl with a writing board, with 36 syllables and a spiderweb of element combinations in the tridimensional showcase.

Further on her young adult life, Angela went to the military training of the colony, even managing to go to service as a medic, the groups of space pirates were a constant threat to the settlements, and their system's military was the only protection against the relentless bandits. It was in that time that Angela had managed to protect her squad when they were ambushed by the pirates, the platinum haired soldier had her serum of health regeneration in the form as a syringe gun, firing the darts to aid her comrades while they fought, in a fit of irony, the only one who had fatal wounds was Lindholm herself, as she was shot by a shotgun blaster on her stomach.

Her squad tried to keep the injuries at bay with her serum and emergency health kits, yet they were amazed by how fast the damaged flesh would regenerate in front of their eyes, this was because the time when Angela had accidentally spilled the original samples of her serum when she was younger, the artificial cells had mixed with her organic ones, making her immune system effectiveness reach higher levels.

Continuing her research as the years passed, the combat doctor had achieved by the age of 30 the Valkyrie suit and the Caduceus stream, both objects were her worth of years of constant working, sleepless nights and failed experiments, but now she had a way to protect herself and give direct streams of healing energy to her allies.

Yet she the first time she had managed to use its maximum ability, was in a cataclysmic disaster.

Angela was exploring the ruins of a strange civilization hidden in a planet when she received the report of unusual solar activity from her HUD, which was something impossible since the planet was able to protect the living creatures from the sun's radiation. The universe, despite the eons that have passed, is still a mystery, so when the alarms blared throughout the system of the sun losing its energy at dramatic speed, Angela didn´t waste any second to fly to her colony, the bigger ships were evacuating the system for the danger of a possible supernova.

They didn´t make it, the explosion had reached the ship even on hyperspace, damaging its systems, overloading the core and the explosion that ocurred inside a firgate class ship could be seen from the outpost on the safe zone.

The medical ships didn´t hesitate to investigate the surely uninhabited frigate, what the first explorer found was a sort of miracle, the crew and civilians of the ship were gathered on the docking bay, a yellow bubble protecting them from the vacuum of space, its source was a woman in the middle of the bubble, holding a staff that kept everyone inside safe from a sure death.

She didn´t know how her staff could have done that, but she was glad that her colony was saved. Angela's work kept going further as she never stopped, she had achieved the resurrection of living beings from flat line state. It took the white haired woman days to get the fact in her mind.

Deciding to expand her knowledge, the doctor went on the differect colonies, seeing their cultures and technological feats, all to understand and be able to become better, because she had the time, all the time she could have, this was her blessing and curse. Angela´s regenerative cells had made her stay on the same age for years, and she could see how her friends and family kept growing up.. she just didn´t wish to remember those years as she decided to roam the galaxy.

She didn´t know how much time has passed, but during her journeys, Lindholm had worked with many groups to reach goals to save the innocent, find cures, and even stop wars, nobody knew who was this "angel" as some called her because of her appearance and attire, but only those who would look on history books could find the same white haired woman in the photographs of important events.

One of her most important memories was the one of a poor soul who she had wrongly caused so much pain. This was the case of a man called Jackson, or as the organization called him "Subject three". On the surface, the organization that contacted the doctor was a known pharmaceutical institute that focused on difficult illnesses and rare diseases, so when they offered a job on sound waves as a way to fight internal diseases, the ever 37 years old woman accepted the job.

On the first month of her job, Angela had managed to to find how a human brain could work more than its normal 3-5 percent of its effectiveness, but there was always something.. odd, how did these tests worked? on what did the other scientists used the sound waves to experiment? Her curiosity, bless that inheritance from her mother, was the one that made the Doctor investigate.

To say she was surprised was an understatement, she not only found on what they were working with, but actually who. There were three persons held in cells, which had padded walls and covered speakers, which send the sound waves.. the ones she had developed. Horrified by what she had done, Angela decided to cause an "accident" in the power. Releasing the subjects, the first one was already dead for what she saw of the liquid oozing from her ear, the second one just ran away without hesitating, but the third one was in a state of trance, muttering unintelligible things, it took the touch of her palm on his shoulder to receive a reaction from the man, he looked at her for what felt like hours, but only were seconds and he pushed her away, tackling a guard, and escaped.

Angela knew what to do to these laboratories, their research was destroyed by her pistol and the place was going to have a critical reaction as her staff overcharged the core. She had narrowly escaped by using her wings.

Now we have the Doctor, in the ruins of what looks like a palace, not many months have passed since her encounter with that man, but she had to focus on understanding this new place, that is until the systems were activated, and her new journey starts now.

Kristia I have read the app.

I must say I like it.

@Kristia

Looks good to me.

[Tewi_Inaba]

Name: Rebecca (rework of wriggle's character)

Spoiler:

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Race: Super Human

Profession and/or Talents: She's a rather gifted fighter

Inventory: A box cutter, basic combat knives, 2 smoke bombs and 2 flash bangs

Personality: Very childish and somewhat angry. She's co-dependent on her brother who is also the only person she trusts. Due to her confinement and the experiments done on her, Rebecca has turned into a rather spiteful person towards her parents. The bitterness in her heart grew and grew each day until they were finally killed by the mortars. Her twin brother was the only ray of sunshine during her childhood as he would often come play with her, tell her stories, read to her and do various other things to cheer her up. Because of this she came to the conclusion that everyone aside from her brother was evil

Rebecca almost never feels embarrassed or shy due to some minor brain damage. This cases her to act blunt and shamelessly at times when she may not realize what she is doing. She's very rude to strangers and sometimes even a bit cruel, but towards her brother she's sweet, loving and very generous.

History: Chapter 1:
On the outskirts of the Celestora Sector lies a star system with only one set of twin planets orbiting. The greater planet is called Geminiea Alpha, the lesser named Geminiea Beta. Geminiea Beta’s atmosphere is highly toxic and is unenterable without a special kind of spacecraft and unmanned drones. Geminiea Alpha, however, is incomparably habitable, with surprisingly earth-like climate but with more dynamic temperature range from one pole to another because of its’ steep angle of axis tilt.

No one truly knows the history of these two planets. Surprisingly, both Geminiea Alpha and Beta seemed to contain ruins of an ancient civilization. Architectural styles and artifacts found in the ruins suggest that the two planets were shared by one civilization, capable of interplanetary travels. However, the number of ruins on Geminiea Beta far outnumber the number of ruins on Geminiea Alpha, and considering the arduity of having an expedition in a planet with such a toxic atmosphere, their culture and writing were not very well known…

Until one day.

An expeditionary team of archaeologists who entered one of the last ruins of the ancient civilization on Geminiea Alpha a few days ago returned, dead-exhausted but overjoyed and proud in their arrival to their small colony with an unknown artifact pulsating in blue and black.

Spoiler: Show


None of the archaeologists and the scientists could figure out the true purpose of the artifact; however, they did discover that the artifact was constantly emanating electromagnetic energy, harmless to biological beings such as humans and animals and beneficial to machineries, overcharging them and making them more efficient without any sort of overheating drawbacks. Utilizing this energy, the colony located on Geminiea Alpha created the Gemini Reactor, supplying enough energy to power an entire planet for a week every hour.

News of this miraculous energy quickly traveled. Famous industrialists and entrepreneurs from other galaxies frolicked to marvel at this impressive energy. They set up their Venturian galaxy headquarters in the colony of Geminiea Alpha, now renamed Electra, and provided services for the colonists. With them followed immigrants from other galaxies looking for a new life. Within years, the small, almost pitiful archaeological colony grew into a city with more than 15 million inhabitants, housing the most innovative research groups, entertainment gurus, and business corporations in the entire galaxy. Some gave nickname to Electra as the “City of Eternal Day” as the lights never seemed to dim in the city.

The archaeologists who discovered the artifact and the scientists who reverse engineered the artifact into one of the most efficient reactors in the galaxy were heralded as heroes of the colony. With such honor came arrogance, however, as they began applying influence and pressure towards everything in the colony, especially politics. Eventually, they declared themselves the aristocrats and the others commoners, and acted like a nobility towards the so-called commoners. While the other colonists were enraged by this rude action, they could not say anything in return, as these scientists held control of the Gemini Reactor, and thus the entire colony.

For years the aristocrats of Electra and the others lived together in one giant city of instability and discrimination. It was no surprise that the so-called Electran powder keg would be set off soon enough. This bio is about the what happened before the powder keg went loose and what came after… to do that we must look through the eyes of the Kimaere family.

Chapter 2:

“No, Albert. I will absolutely NOT put my children in harm’s way like that.”

A seemingly upset woman argued with who seemed to be her husband at the dinner table. The wife had a bulging stomach that denoted her pregnancy, while her husband, Albert Kimaere, looked scrawny yet determined. His skinny hands expertly spun a pen in multiple twirls and fancy flips as he was fixated on his notes, not his meal in front of him.

“Kelly, listen.” Albert stopped playing with his pen and looked straight at his wife Kelly Kimaere’s hazel eyes earnestly. “You and I both know that this city will crumble on its’ own with the current government system. We must let this through.”

“Then why don’t we augment ourselves?” Kelly made an argument. “Why must we bring our kids into this rebellion?”

Albert and Kelly are galaxy’s most talented scientists in terms of genetics and, particularly, DNA manipulation. With the news of Electra’s recent success, their superior in Helix Foundation sent Albert Kimaere and Kelly Noshiro to lead a group of scientists to establish a headquarter in the sudden boom town. At first, the two were all-business; perfectionist attitude of Kelly and a goofy but extremely smart Albert did not mesh very well. However, fate had another call for them as they soon began to understand each other, fall in love and, with much praises and blessings, became a married, inseparable couple.

While they were merely on duty to create a headquarter in the Venturian Galaxy, living in Electra gave this newlywed couple a new goal. They witnessed that, hidden behind the heated developments in the city, lied in waiting cold hearts of the inhabitants within that could freeze the world with hatred. And their hatred all pointed towards the men in power: the Aristocrats as the residents called them. Backed by the incredible power of the Gemini Reactor, the Aristocrats did whatever they pleased. They were the invisible force behind how the city ran, the top 1% of the top 1%. They played god without permission from some sort of higher being. And when sparks of opposition started to simmer, they were immediately neutralized, their only source of power cut short.

Albert and Kelly’s morality was shattered by the Aristocrats’ ridiculous acts. They were unparalleled in their influence over the city and they needed to be stopped. The couple started a sort of revolutionary group, welcoming youngsters and the commoners to strike back against the Aristocrats. Their focus initially was to create riots and cause chaos in the city to give the Aristocrats the bad name to the outsiders, but every operation was spoiled by the Aristocrats’ privately-hired mercenaries acting as an organized army. With the entire power behind them and a dispensable military in front of them, the Aristocrats seemed impossible to topple by normal humans…

That’s where the two switched their vision. Instead of trying to resort to public dissonance, they devised a scheme to use genetics and create genetically superior super-soldiers that will infiltrate the Aristocrats, assassinate them, and seize the Reactor from the inside. In the midst of the plan, however, the husband and wife’s decision split. Kelly’s view of the plan was that they will augment grown men and women to deploy them immediately into the field, while Albert’s vision was to splice the DNAs of a newly-born infants so that the DNA splicing will be more effective, thus producing stronger super soldiers in exchange of quantity. With Kelly’s twin babies soon due, Albert was hoping to use his children as prototypes.

“Basic genetics, Kelly. Older people develop signs of rejection in their physical and mental state when exposed to new DNA strands.” Albert made a point.

That is true, Kelly thought. Possible side effects of splicing DNA strands into an already grown person could include dehumanization by mutation, loss of intelligence, and possible organ failures. “I know, Albert, but- I- I don’t want my children… our children, to become scapegoats. What if we mess up? What if there’s a flaw in our plan and if we make a mistake they might die or become mutated beyond repair-”

Albert stopped Kelly’s anxious rant by gently matching their lips together. A sudden kiss that stopped Kelly’s speech, hopefully to alleviate her worries.

“Trust me, darling. Trust yourself.” Albert assured his wife as he let go of her lips. “It was you who pointed out all the mistakes I made. It was you who developed the two separate sets of DNA strands to test. It was YOU that created this branch of Helix Foundation, not me. I know your perfectionistic attitude, and the Kelly Kimaera I know would not make a single mistake in this grand project.”

Kelly’s eyes teared up as she was bombarded with praises from her husband, moved and motivated. “Y… you think so?”

Albert looked at Kelly with his trustworthy eyes. If there was one thing that kept Kelly with Albert through his clumsiness, it was his honesty and integrity. “I know so.”

When the twins were born, Albert and Kelly decided not to call them Test Subjects 1 and 2 like they did with other experiments. They gave them a proper name: Thomas and Rebecca. They were treated with utmost of care and attention as their DNA were altered, slowly but surely.

Thomas was gifted with the DNA strands that expanded his mind, allowing him to understand, learn and think things faster than even a supercomputer. His DNA sets were simple, and Thomas showed no signs of biological mutation, which gave Thomas freedom from the test chambers at the age of 3. Thomas was a sweet child: docile, honest, and integral. Kelly would often joke about how Thomas behaved just like Albert.

Rebecca, however, was not as cooperative as Thomas. She was given the blessings of superhuman physicality: not only in performance but also in appearance as well. Even in her young age, she was mesmerizing and captivating, her presence a flawless harmony of grace and power; and her beauty only saw improvement as she aged into a nigh perfection. However, altering the physicalities of a person through DNA splicing was a very complicated job even for the brilliance of both Kelly and Albert. In 9 out of 10 times of the DNA strand testing, Rebecca showed signs of mutation, and the parents and her older brother Thomas could only watch her struggle in extreme pain.

The experiments caused an emotional divide between Rebecca and her parents. She began to associate seeing them with pain and suffering, which caused her to resent them. She quickly became difficult to control, even dangerous toh her parents. The only thing that kept her calm and under control as her older twin brother. Thomas spent a lot of his free time playing with, talking too and reading to his sister. Thomas became her only friend, and thus she was willing to do whatever he asked of her.

On the thirteenth year of experiments, the DNA experimentation was complete. Thomas has shown gift in nearly all aspects of science and engineering, especially cybernetics, nanotechnology, and quantum physics. He was creating arms, armor, and other technological breakthroughs unprecedented by humanity with ease in his workshop. Meanwhile, Rebecca was finally ready to be released out of her little test tube, her strength, agility, and durability off the charts.

Little did the Kimaera family know, however, that they were being spied on. For 12 years, the Kimaera couple managed to keep their superhuman project in secrecy. However, on the 13th year, the most notorious agent of the Aristocrats managed to witness the Kimaere’s last experiments on Rebecca, which was successful, and wasted no time in reporting this heinous act.

When word got back to the Aristocrats, they were very unhappy. The creation of super soldiers within the city without permission was seen as an act of treason, and a declaration of war. The following night, A small army of about 50 soldiers quietly surrounded their home. Armed with large cannons, heavy machine guns and various other high powered fire arms, the small army opened fire on the unsuspecting household.

Before they knew what hit them, the Kimaere family and their home were being torn apart by the merciless ballistics. Thomas and Rebecca's parents were blown apart almost instantly, but the twins were a bit more fortunate. They had been sleeping together in the basement. Rebecca didn't want to sleep on her own so Thomas agreed to stay up and watch TV with her, so long as they stayed in different bed sacks.

They both quickly jumped awake as they heard what was going on up stairs. Rebecca tried to run upstairs to see what was going on, but she was stopped by Thomas who grabbed her by the hand and pulled her outside through the secret escape hatch. They emerged safely a few yards away, but they looked on in horror at what became of their home.

Thomas was especially angry. Not only was his home lost forever, not only was his sister and he nearly killed, but his mother and father were most likely killed in the explosion. Thomas had always been a nice, quite boy, but seeing such a horrid sight of unwarranted violence caused something in his brain to snap. He knew that logically speaking he would most likely lose to the small army if he attacked him, but all he could think about was seeing them defeated. Luckily for him, that concentrated will allowed him to quickly figure out the best cores of action to do just that.

He managed to get the drop on the army and took out of of the machine gunners. Once that was done he was able to shoot down a good portion of the soldiers rather easily. After all there were only so many machine gunners and they were the only ones using guns small enough to be used at close range. anything else would have caused the men to blow up or kill some of their own. Because of this, Thomas had a psychological advantage, and he wasn't' about to give the enemy time to think it through. He quickly took out the remaining machine gunners

He was able to take out most of them while keeping the other soldiers off his back with his superior strength and speed. He was smart enough to focus on both tasks at once so it was rather easy for him to do this normally complicated task. However he was too slow and one of the other machine gunners was aiming directly at him. Another second and he would have been dead, but Rebecca wouldn't allow that.

Before they knew what hit them, the gunner had been diced in half by Rebecca''s razor sharp nails. In truth she didnt' care that the soldiers had destroyed her home or slaughtered her parents, but one of them tried to threaten her brother, and THAT was unforgivable. The fight was long and hard, but eventually the two managed t defeat and kill all 50 of the soldiers. Exhausted from the fight, the twins lay on their backs and gazed up at the night sky. Rebecca had taken a beating, but Thomas was mostly uninjured. this was most likely because Rebecca was trying harder to save her brother than she was to stay alive.

Realizing her pitiful state, Thomas felt a little guilty. He turned to her and spoke softly "Hey... I'm sorry I dragged you into that. I just... I don't know what happened. It's like..."

Rebecca cut him as she got up herself. Her wounds were healing surprisingly quickly. She didnt' seem bothered by what just happened, if anything it looked like she enjoyed it. Like it was all one big game to her. "I'm fine, you don't need to worry." she told him

The twins stayed there for a moment to rest, but before long they could hear the distant sound of reinforcements coming their way. They wer forced to leave whatever was left of their parents behind as they fled into the city. It's been five years since then. Thomas and Rebecca have since made a home out of an old abandoned grocery store. Ever since that day, the twins have been constantly fighting both to protect themselves and to avenge their parents. Thomas vowed to bring down the Aristocrats, and Rebecca promised to help him in any way she could.

Notes: I made some Edit's to the history and Rebecca's personality because I looked at the app and well... she didn't really have one.

Really important summary of almost everything important that is really important to help make things make sense again, which is important.

And now I make this official. yay.
Ok so after some derping and more derping I have come to streamline the entire EG timeline to a point where I can summarize everything from Aion's and Ananke's perspective, which brings me to what this post is ultimately about because it gives the entirety of Phoenix a new backbone and a somewhat surprisingly easy-to-explain method of making everything make sense.

Now the first question is: Who is Ananke?
Some might remember Anankerisa. This is not her, well... not exactly. This is who will be replacing her (and Aurora) in the grand scheme of things.
Long story short: Ananke is the realized "identity" of the Unknown, or the Void.

Summary of long story (aka making sense of everything in one fell swoop (which is the surprising part)):

The Unknown was originally an AI made by the Caeles (the original race inhabiting the Eternal Galaxy (now known as the Venturian Galaxy) that are descendants of humans) to control the GAIA Computer. Specifically, Venturia Leonares herself made this AI. Initially, the GAIA computer was set to utilize the void in its functions. A glitch caused the AI to become fused to the void, creating the then named Unknown. Because the Unknown couldn't comprehend itself anymore, it became confused, which turned to simulated emotions of frustration and anger. It's anger became manifested in the form of the Nihiliods (conglomerates of entities formed from the void which behave like parasitic insectoid organisms), which lashed out at everything that existed. Venturia then created the Phoenix Code in an attempt to purge the GAIA computer of the Unknown, however this backfired as the Unknown altered the code to reset the entire Galaxy instead. Venturia managed to make one last alteration to the code which minimized the damage this new Phoenix Code would do before it activated. This would be the first Phoenix Incident. Caeles were forced to flee to an alternate timeline, which they would turn into Heaven's Forge. They would be trapped there due to the Unknown's tampering with the GAIA Computer. Venturia managed to essentially partition the computer into two parts, which managed to trap the Unknown into a more limited part of the system while allowing her to still potentially work on it to find a new fix.

The newly formed galaxy created 3 new races: Arcains and Prometheos. Venturia (pretending to be Nyx) would create Aion Leonares, a prometheos man who would be time incarnate. This was an attempt to create someone who could reset the GAIA Computer physically, however complications arose as she discovered that all life in the galaxy was now tied to the system, and thus resetting it would essentially wipe out all life. Prometheos would dominate the newly formed social structure of the galaxy, especially in the system which housed the central hub of the GAIA Computer, which would be named Origin. Arcains eventually would revolt and during said revolution, the GAIA Computer would be found and the Phoenix Code would be activated again. Prometheos took a massive hit to their numbers, bordering extinct, while Arcains survived with no really memory of the time before. Two new races plus a plethora of races that would be lumped under one category are created: Vatians, Papillians, and the Irians. Irians would include a recreation of Humans.

Fast forward: Origin becomes the epicenter of what would be known as the Trace Revolution after years of an "illusion of progress" (essentially, the galaxy seemed to reach an utopian era, but this utopia covered up stagnation). Trace, an android with the AI equivalence of a reincarnation of the Unknown, would inadvertently start an AI revolution that would wipe out the entire Outer Rim of the Galaxy. This was mainly a result of the Unknown's influence over Trace and the adaptation of Nihiliods as a sort of "technological plague." The plague, nicknamed the Madness, would cause virtually all technology and organics in contact with technology to develop various symptoms. It's primary symptom was the development of enraged AIs that would take over anything that could house an AI, and irritability and paranoia in organics. The Trace Revolution would come to a close back at Origin when the Inner Rim had managed to purge itself, except at Origin. Trace would put an end to the revolution herself by "dying" at the hands of the Republic's leaders, who would make her out as the villain of the Revolution, while there are those who would justify it as a means to "wake up" the stagnating galaxy. The Republic used their newly created mega-station, the Daedalus Project, to isolate and essentially "erase from knowledge" the Origin system, putting it into virtually permanent quarantine. The Trace Revolution, and most of what happened before, during, and after it would be placed during a time period known as the Great Blank.

Due to the sheer volume of death that occurred during Trace's Revolution, decaying Aura energy (aka life force) caused an increase in instabilities in space-time, known either as Fissures of Time or Rifts, which opened paths to alternative timelines. Before the end of the revolution, Trace had sent out a group of people she called Rixtravians (or Rift Walkers) in an attempt to save some from the Madness should the worst occur, specifically in a relatively safe haven from technology that could host the Madness: the Mirror Sea. Unfortunately, they misinterpreted what she told them as "they had to find a way out to a similar timeline as the one they lived in that didn't have the Madness." This would cause the Rixtravians to trap themselves in three intertwining timelines: Chronorift, the Rift of Day, and the Rift of Night. They would eventually settle the seemingly post-apocalyptic timeline, the Rift of Night, since Chronorift was the incarnation of the chaos of unstable time and the Rift of Day, while it seemed ideal, housed hidden dangers.

Fast Forward: Venturia manages to revive Aion, who would go as Revere Exorco and would be placed in the Helios System. Meanwhile the Unknown finds out how to create Nihlumbri, or Void Ghosts. These ghosts would be "memories" of those that either the Nihiliods kill or those that die near Origin. the Unknown manages to create a Nihlumbri of Aion after the GAIA Computer revived the other copy, which results in a true revival of Aion (who would go as Aion Rixtravius) that would wind up in Chronorift in the Mirror Sea of the Helios System as well.

Fast Forward: Revere is found by Materia, a Vatian woman who had a vision of him bringing an end to the Republic. She also has contacts in the Commonwealth, who happens to be at war with the Republic. Materia wants to use Revere to help her bring an end to both the Commonwealth and the Republic so that she could gain power in a revived Empire, with Lady Avonna, the true heir to the imperial throne who was ousted by the council of the Republic and now serves on that council, because the Republic wanted it to "look good" so as to not lose too much favor with imperial sympathizers. (but this happened during the Great Blank so no one really knew what the Empire was like therefore making this ultimately superfluous.) Revere figures out Materia's true intentions but agrees to help her as it would gain him power in the Commonwealth's military. He then takes over the Commonwealth's military fleets and begins his own campaign to destroy the Daedalus Project after he learns that it houses a replica of the GAIA Computer. (Read: he knows what the GAIA Computer can do and does not want anyone else to have that power.)

Fast Forward: Aion Rixtravius became a part of a group of mercenaries known as the Hunters' Guild and gained contact with Lady Avonna through Orion, the leader of the Hunters' Guild who served as a Republic war hero that had lost favor after trying to reinstate the Empire by force. Aion would become a key player for Avonna in the fight against the Commonwealth, however once he learns that a copy of himself was leading the Commonwealth, he would wind up being a double agent to help revive the Empire. Due to a conflict of interests, tensions rise between Aion and Revere since Aion would want to keep the Daedalus project active since it was hiding Origin, which he wanted to remain hidden due to learning that it might have become completely infested with Nihiliods. This conflict would culminate in the final Daedalus Project Raid, where Revere had managed to capture the Daedalus Project but Aion, backed by the Empire, would lead the counter attack to reclaim it. One of the two finds out that the other, after killing them, held a fragment of the sword Iris, which the original Aion possessed. The fragment contains their collective memories including some of those of the Unknown and Venturia. This reveals what the Unknown is doing in Origin as well as Aion's purpose for being created. (Note I'm still debating on which Aion kills which, so either Revere or Aion Rixtravius kills the other. From here on out, the reference to Aion will be whoever I decide to live. This Aion will take over the place of Aion Rixtravius)

Aion doesn't know how to approach the challenge of stopping the Nihiliod threat without causing everyone to find Origin. Unfortunately, some of Aion's friends starts to figure out where Origin is based on the Daedalus Project. This accelerates the issue and eventually causes Aion to enter Origin to confront the Unknown. What he finds is the Unknown has taken on an identity: it thinks itself as Aion's sister, which it named itself Ananke. Ananke has been trying to create an existence, which contradicts what she is and has been partially successful. She is glad that Aion has finally "come home" but is afraid of him since she suspects he's there to destroy her.

- This is the part where I have three possible endings:
True ending: Aion destroys her to put an end to the Nihiliods
Alternate 1: Aion spares her and it works out. Nihiliods stop.
Alternate 2 aka Phoenix: Aion spares her and it doesn't work out. Nihiliods and the Madness consumes the galaxy and wipes out virtually all life, turning the entire galaxy into a place where it is nothing but a "dollhouse" for Ananke to place the Nihilumbris. (Or... ghost house would be more accurate.) The Madness becomes a sort of "immune system" against any new life that enters. It is drawn to use of Venturian technology that uses Gaia or Aura energy (or specifically anything that involves a Corlaviri crystal power core). The Nihiliods serve as the "absolute" response that terminates anything that "does not belong" as according to Ananke.

Nihiliod profile:

BASIC INFORMATION
- Nihiliod: Particle entities that are typically found in 2 forms: one that resemble parasitic microorganisms and another that takes the shape of a quadrupedal insectoid creature with razor-like legs.
- Nihiliod particles, Nihims, are reportedly harmless and inert, however the Nihiliod Microorganism, Nihili, exhibit primitive sentient behaviors.
- While Nihiliods behave like entities that exist, all notable features are considered simulated. What they are at a basic level is still unknown.

NIHIM
- Particles seem to react to electrostatic pulses, such as those found in most organisms' nervous system.
- If diluted with a mixture composed of water and corlaviri, seems to enhance most species' cognitive functions. This solution, called Nitri, is reported to be safe if taken in moderation.
- Attracted to Aura energy, allowing other Nihim particles to react to other particles and start to form bonds and thus create the structures contained in Nihili.
- In certain configurations, traditional means of detection become invalid. In short, it can appear as a void in space where nothing exists.
- The Nihim particles somehow are capable of forming various types of atoms using Aura and Gaia energy to create the bonds between particles. It has been tested that breaking these bonds do not hinder the overall structure; very little energy is needed to replace any bonds, which grants the overall structure it's resilience.

NIHILI
- Attracted to ambient Aura energy as well as high levels of Gaia radiation, thus causing them to be drawn to centers with concentrations of organic life and places using large quantities of Gaia energy.
- Capable of breaking down virtually any matter and convert it using Aura or Gaia energy into more Nihim particles and thus create more Nihili.
- Resilient, capable of withstanding all known conditions, excluding high levels of Aura radiation. When exposed to concentrated Aura radiation, the Nihili undergo what can only be described as a phase shift to that of a solid, where any addition of energy causes a breakdown of the Nihili's simulated cellular structure. It then falls apart into the basic Nihim particles, rendering it harmless.
- Can be masked from detection by configuring it's simulated cellular wall. This makes the organisms appear to be a void in space.
- Utilizes nearby sources of Aura or Gaia energy and Nihim particles to reproduce.

NIHILIOD
- Conglomerates of Nihili microorganisms, gaining what appears to be advanced cognitive functions and sentience. A Nihiliod will actively track and hunt prey, manipulate technological devices with finesse, and mimic traits of other sentient beings.
- Can change their basic form at will, if it helps it complete a task.
- Will typically engage prey to disable and to create vulnerabilities so that Nihili can infect the target.
- Have an exoskeleton-like structure which hardens and softens actively. It has been reported that a Nihiliod will allow prey to break the shell if it is advantageous.
- The exoskeleton can arrange itself so as to mask the entire creature as if it was a void in space.
- It has been also reported that it can utilize a form of active camouflage. This has not been confirmed.
- The typical form is about 6m long with legs extended, has a shoulder width of about 1m, legs of 2m, and shoulder width of 1m. They normally stand about 1m high.

NOTES ON INFECTION:
- Nihili will destroy and replace structures in order to take control. They can simulate both organic and inorganic systems.
- They will add structures, if necessary, to achieve control. This is how Nihiliods can take control of technological systems.
- It is virtually impossible to distinguish a Nihiliod-created structure from a normal structure.
- When the infection completely overtakes the brain, the host is considered dead.
- Nihiliods are known to use infected hosts as part of their exoskeleton once the infection is advanced enough.
- Any connection to the nervous system allows the infection to influence the host. This results in what is known as the Madness.


TFW you realize that technically Nihiliods don't have a limit and could consume and replace a planet if they wanted to.


...actually... that might be a good idea... I must derp further...

Ok grand plan to help give an overall goal



To make sense of my scribblings, I need to drop some plot:
- Still running with the keystone concept. Instead of having Aurora trapped by them due to being fused with the Phoenix Code, now they're just a safety measure to prevent the Phoenix code from being utilized by Ananke.
- The purpose for gathering the keystones is now essentially a trap: Any one of my characters, excluding Ignis, that have mentioned anything about the keystones are Void Ghosts sent by Ananke to persuade people to find them for her.

Next, to explain what the scribbles are showing:
- There are 6 keystones, one for each of the other major Inner Rim systems excluding Origin.
- 3 of the 6 keystones have been located. 3 are in the Helios system: 2 on Duon and 1 on Nevaraas due to Ignis. The remaining 3 are still in Inopia, Nexion, and Egale.
- The keystone from Nox is currently in Mima's possession. Helios's keystone is most likely already found by the inhabitants of the Neo-Gensokyo. Celestora's was found within the Shrine of Seasons. I intend on Nexion's being found within the Palace.
- This leaves Inopia and Egale's keystones. My thought is that it would be possible to influence the group in the Palace to next head for Inopia after the Daedalus Project visit. Egale could be solved in a similar fashion by influencing those in Celestora system (on the planet Electra(?)).
- From there, it would be possible to converge all the arcs into one at the Daedalus project near Nexion before heading to the finale at Origin system.


Thoughts? Concerns? Derp?

A year has passed and you fuckers only advanced four pages in this story? Damn.
