A.E. IC

A.E. is another sci-fi genre story that takes place after a meteor destoyes the earth and leaves it a barren waste land. Now (2029 A.E. [After Earth]), human survivors that managed to escape the planet in time before doomsday have constructed three major space stations (plus one more on the moon) and multiple industrial stations to harvest a powerful energy resource known as "Dark Matter".

However, an alien race (just as homo-sapien as the people of Earth) have performed raids on Olympian (survivors of Earth) Dark Matter harvesting plants in an attempt to gain the Dark Matter for themselves.

Each faction has powerful tactics, devistating super weapons, classic heroes, and secrets that stretch beyond you sci-fi imagination! This is a blend of Area 51 myths (the Aurora project), classic doomsday stories (death by a meteor), Star Trek/Star Wars scenarios (two races collide in a bloodbath), battles over a valuable recourse (Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars), and the scientific progression of destructive weapons (use your imagination on that one).

This is the OOC thread for A.E. and you're welcome to join in this epic story!

Pre-set Heroes
If you don’t wish to create a character of your own for this story, then you can select from one of the multiple pre-made heroes of both factions.
LSF Supreme Commander Richard “Rick” James- (my character; this is also my profile) (Olympian)
James has led the Luna Strike Fore sense it was create three years before the discovery of the meteor headed towards Earth. He earned the spot when he proved himself in combat as a Delta Force operative in the still ongoing War on Terror. He is 32 years old and stands at 6’0” with brown hair and blue eyes. He sports his usual formal LSF uniform when off duty and prefers the sleek, black and navy blue, spec ops combat uniform of the LSF. His favorite weapon is the AR-39, a standard assault rifle for Olympian military personnel. His favorite vessel is the recently produced Echo Aurora. The new design sports an extremely hard-to-detect stealth function; plus, it packs a more devastating punch than the Alpha Aurora by carrying two compact 20-kiloton warheads. The warheads are specially design to pierce through the thickest of Zeroth armor. The stealth capabilities of the Echo Aurora include active camouflage, silent engines, and radar jamming equipment. Commander James has claimed the only vessel of its kind.

Major Carl “Havoc” Peterson (Olympian)
Havoc has a discrepancy for the quiet. He prefers to enlighten himself with the “Big Bang” theory and watch things go boom. The Major has brought down countless numbers of Zeroth vessels by using high-yield explosives and the Alpha Auroras to deliver them at four times the speed of sound. When he catches the enemy off guard, he loves to exploit it. His hell-raising tactics have earned him beautiful women, a pissed off captain, and a sense of pride and glory far beyond that of King Ramses’. Even though he can seem like a pompous jerk that likes to just blow everything up, he can be quite the charmer and also an understanding man whenever his people call him to serious action. [This character’s physical traits may be modified]

Zula Saphire (Zeroth)
Zula’s underhanded and sneaky tactics differ greatly from the Zeroth philosophy of guerilla warfare. However, her skills behind enemy lines have given her race a great advantage by throwing the Olympians off guard. Her rank stands unknown to Olympian intelligence reports, but be forewarned that she is definitely a dangerous adversary when confronting her face-to-face. She is an expert in Zeroth martial arts and can easily take down enemy infantry in a few swift kicks. Her hacking skills allow her to bypass both Olympian and LSF security measures to gain access to vital intelligence or other valuables that the enemy of the Zeroth would not want to get out in the open. [This character’s physical traits may be modified]

Morgan Vay (Zeroth)
Morgan makes for a considerable foe in long range combat. His skills of sniping out the enemy undetected has earned him the highest honor in marksmanship, the “Dead-Eye Medallion”. He wears this golden chain around his neck and tucks the medal itself underneath his armor. He flashes it whenever he’s hanging around a Zeroth lounge. Morgan takes a lot of pride in himself and boasts about his accomplishments whenever he gets a chance. But in the midst of battle, his attitude dramatically changes and he becomes a different person entirely. Morgan Vay carries with him a special transmitter device that, when activated, allows him to summon a Zeroth Spectra Gunship that will run circles around it’s target, unleashing everything it has at the victim. The gunship has enough ammunition for about fifteen seconds of pure hell. To the poor soul having to run for cover, that fifteen seconds may seem like an eternity. Morgan only uses this transmitter whenever the situation calls for desperate measures. [This character’s physical traits may be modified]

Those are all of the pre-set heroes I have created for now. If a pre-set hero is not chosen to be played then the character will appear later as a non-playable character (NPC). If you wish to construct your own character, then I discourage typical profiles. Instead, create a short bio like the ones I have for the pre-sets. Include basic descriptions of who they are, some of their history, some skills, etc.

Terms
I only ask that you abide by the rules and regulations of the Advanced Forum as well as the general rules of RpG.

The Dark Matter War


The Zeroth are only interested in one thing: Dark Matter. Their greed consumes them as they travel from solar system to solar system, draining all of the Dark Matter they find. They are harnessing the material for weapons and to advance their technology even further. But the humans have been harvesting the recourse for a long time to only study it, rather than jump into its devastating effects at first hand. They have learned how to use it for many things. Now that they are in a war, they have applied their knowledge in every way possible and have come up with super weapons of their own to use against the Zeroth. The alien race has finally met an opponent worth fighting.


The Zeroth are in everyway human beings. They are not some ugly life form from old science fiction movies. Their genetic make-up is exactly the same as their enemy. This makes war so much more difficult, knowing that there is not much of your kind left after Earth’ doomsday. Why would want to kill more?


But the Zeroth think differently. They are hostile and aggressive. They will do anything and everything in their power to try and overthrow the survivors of Earth. They employ guerilla tactics. The technology they rely on and produce is used for frontline purposes. This is their weakness. The commanders of the Olympus military are former U.S. generals and still know how to do what America knew best back when Earth was still a thriving planet….covert ops and the ‘eye in the sky’ tactics. Olympians (as the survivors of Earth are now called) employ these tactics against their new enemy and use special surveillance technology to get an edge in battle. Their Alpha Aurora fleet has greatly expanded and use them in key areas throughout the open battlefield of space.

Super Weapons


Each faction has their own super weapon. These devastating devices can be used to turn the tide of a battle. The Zeroth have developed the Anti-Matter bomb, a device that will split the atoms of Dark Matter material to create a shock wave of anti-matter. Once this shock wave of bright energy comes into contact with matter, the anti-matter and matter neutralize each other. One of these incredible devices can wipe out an entire Olympian fleet or….if the Zeroth get lucky….one of the space stations. The device is small and can be carried by hand. But, even though they are conveniently sized, they are not easily produced. Only a handful of these bombs exist, but the Zeroth are eager to produce more.


But the Olympians have developed their own super weapon; an Ion Particle Beam Cannon (or IPBC). This powerful device, once activated, will unleash a powerful continuous particle beam that can cause destruction nearly anywhere. The beam can also be pivoted while it is active. The beam is fired from a highly protected satellite in a top secret location.

NCO Brigadier Nathan Long (Olympian)
Nathan’s origins lay in the United Kingdom and he still likes to think along those old Lines of honour. It was a miracle he survived the evacuation of earth. His evacuation vessel came trough the atmosphere a fraction of a second to late. The engines and life support systems were taken out in the blast wave of the meteorite. The only thing that had kept half of the passengers alive was the emergency spacesuits, locked in a cabinet near the cockpit of the Aurora. The twenty-five year old sergeant was lucky to be placed in the front; else he wouldn’t have been here today.

The loss of his left leg hasn’t affected him in the bigger picture, although the phantom pain gets to him from time to time. He was granted a bionic prosthetic after dealing with Zeroth borders during the first assault, the same battle were he lost his leg. Afterwards Nathan was put down as a Non-commissioned officer, and he had another battle to fight. This time however it was in court to regain a full duty service. His victory had won him a commissioned duty under the command of LSF Supreme Commander Richard James onboard of the newly developed Echo Aurora vessel.

Now Nathan has earned the rank of Brigadier on the yet only constructed Echo variant of the Aurora class star ship. His short cropped chestnut hair suits the navy blue uniform well. And his green/brown eyes have a sparkle of pride in them. Although his combat skills are left somewhat wanting Nathan makes more then good with his mastery of the AC-52 assault carbine. His onboard duties include making sure everything is in stock and keep the crew sharp and active. To Nathan the title Brigadier is a fancy word for Petty officer, but never the less takes his duties serious.

I hope this will do.

Midnight sun (OOC) Recruiting! Uncle Sam says: Sign up today!

Midnight sun (IC) Is here to provide a good read.

Captain "Phoenix"(Olympian)
Phoenix made out of the evacuation miraculously.He was in Thailand at the time enjoying the view of the beach but the screams of fear woke him from his imagination.He acted quickly telling most of the people evacuating to not take anything with them.Once the meteor was about to hit he passed out probably from the "cold" he had at the time and the next thing he sees is that he was on an Olympian ship and was explained everything.

The greatest battle he fought was with Zeroths.The Olympians were outnumbered greatly.He had the idea of everyone evacuating their ships and aboard in only one the other ships was auto-piloted forward to meet with the Zeroth fleets.The ship that all Olympians were on circled around their enemies and fired at the back.It was a success the ship with no one aboard crashed within the Zeroth ships while the ship Phoenix was on was taking heavy damage.It was a massacre a huge explosion took place and the last Olympian fleet of that battle went to the closest headquarters from their location.

Phoenix favors tactics such as ambushing his enemies.Stealth is what he specializes at.His physical feature are amazing not so skinny and not so fat.His stamina is a great skill that he holds being able to run at least 5 miles without taking a break.He has been rewarded rank of captain because of some of his brilliant plans.His personality on the battlefield is of an independent one, loving to get some missions done himself especially the ones that requires stealth in order to finish the job alive.He favors Dual-Wielding such as being equipped with two pistols that has been modified to have extreme accuracy but it's range is short, the further the shot the weaker it is,But to save it from this downgrade they upgraded the pistols being able to shoot swiftly but overheating quicker then it normally does.He is also equipped with two daggers that the weight of the daggers compares to a feather.He believes that stealth is mainly required for such an advanced race as the Zeroths.His armor is light and making him maneuver much quicker then a regular human it is made of a material found on Earth it is able to protect impacts from sharp materials but in it hides a cloaking device that makes him nearly impossible to find..

Raulka Messi (Zeroth)
A fighter jockey born and bred, Raulkas family has manned the fighter craft of the Zeroth for many generations now and Raulka saw no need to change that. While not much more than a grunt his sharp awareness and quick reflexes have given him an impressive kill record in the cockpit both against the Olympians and in previous systems. He maintains his fighter himself as much as situations allow and so has learned a fair bit about mechanics and engineering over the years. With what little free time Raulka has he tends to spend it reading, mostly tactical assessments, spacecraft blueprints, but also texts written by past leaders and strategists of the Zeroth. Recently he has acquired some Olympian literature on similar subjects and has set to them with a fascination that many Zeroth find odd and disturbing.

Outside the cockpit Raulka usually dresses casually with his standard issue sidearm in a thigh holster and a small gold pendent of a closed fist with wings around his neck. He stands about 5'6" with a rather skinny build. He has striking hazel eyes, short black hair and a trimmed beard the covers his chin.

Thank you for the 'welcome back', Redorath, I appreciate that! In response to your question, pretty much yes. The Olympians will retain their ballistic weaponry, but as you said are advancing their research to produce more laser-based firepower. Lasers are actually being developed by the DoD right now, so I'm sure that by 2029 the United States will have a good sized arsenal of laser weaponry and other gizmos. The IPBC is by far the most advanced piece of weaponry that the Olympians have created.

The Zeroth will possess a mixture of ballistics and laser weaponry. Their research with the Dark Matter has been around for much longer than any other race, and since they use most of their combat technology on the front lines, they will be quick to pesue other forms of weapons in their arsenal. One such weapon I'll be introducing soon for the Zeroth's (since the Olympians have the famous Aurora jet) is the AMR (Anti-Matter Rifle). The AMR is a long-ranged sniper rifle that fires up to three rounds of compressed anti-matter capsules that, upon impact, will nuetralize matter. The AMR is extremely deadly, but has a slow rate of fire (approx. 3 rounds per 10 seconds).

Any of you can go ahead and post in the IC whenever you wish. I'm kind of wanting to stay away from double-posting in the IC; it looks better that way.

lol! No I really have no specifics except for keeping the technology of both factions on an equal playing field. For instance, just because the Zeroth are battle-hardened brutes that use guerella tactics, doesn't mean that they are ill-mannered and stupid. They have highly advanced equipment and ships like the Olympians do. Olympus has the Alpha/Echo Aurora supersonic jet and the Zeroth have your (what did you call it?) "Totally-Overpowered-Mega-Destructo-Ray Bomber of Death".
