Emerging on every single screen on Earth was a species entirely different from humanity yet similar in many respects. Humanoid in nature whilst garbed with the palest of rotting skin, the first Pantheon stood crudely integrated with various machines. The world powers sought to communicate with the pantheons but nothing was ever sent back. All the broadcast showed was a single alien staring blankly from the screen.
Weeks of communicating unsuccessful, the United Earth Sphere Alliance, U.E.S.A, was created in expectations of hostile first contact. The militaries merged while weapons were developed. Though old roots of contrasting ideologies still remained, humanity united under a common cause. To protect itself from the pantheons, if it should ever come to open warfare
April 24, 2017. The skies burned a terrible red as meteors showered from the skies. When the smoke from the ruined landscape and cities dissipated, a war machine so terrible emerged as pantheon soldiers strode forth. The machine-flesh race swept through each country with legendary speed. Cities burned from their arsenal. Their large spider-like war machines tore through the ranks of the U.E.S.A armed forces. For a time, during what came to be known as the First Contact Wars, humanity was kept on the defensive as front lines receded by the day.
Soon, the tide changed when humanity finally began to innovate. With new military weapons, vehicles, and aircrafts better catered to combat the pantheons, humanity managed to halt the extraterrestrial advance. However, though the zones behind the new defensive lines were protected, millions were left behind to survive for themselves. Ghastly rumors of many being abducted and changed into pantheon foot soldiers began to circulate amongst survivors beyond the defensive line. While many went underground and hid from the pantheons, pockets of resistance fought back against the unwelcome guests believing in a human and free Earth.
The year is 2017. Humanity is scattered. The deadliest enemy tramples upon rotting Earth. Will humanity survive or fall to the pantheons?
Hello everyone,
Here’s a little interest check for an extraterrestrial invasion-esque plot that I’m really excited to try out. For now, I’m placing this within the general interest check for one reason. I’m unsure if I want to make this a 1x1 or a group storyline. Deciding which one I shall do depends entirely on how much interest this receives. However, please know that I intend for this to be an advanced standard storyline focusing on the characters rather than pure violence and fighting.
Anyways, I’ll post more info if there’s any interest for this. This is but a small synopsis, a teaser if you will.
Hope to hear from folks!
