Context, Setting, and Factions
The year is 2037, and for the first time in human history, we have an alien integrated civilization. On November 21, 2032, five years ago to the date, a ship crashed into Earth's atmosphere, landing just north of Washington D.C., and out walked over three hundred thousand aliens of various sizes, shapes, and colors, all integrated with a vocal chip that translates all alien language into English, as well as translating audio-chips. At first, the world was in terror, in a constant fear that the aliens would reveal high-tech weaponry and wipe humanity off of the only habitable planet in the solar system, but after about three months of hostility, people began to accept their presence... Well, most humans.
In 2034, an organization labeled the "Holy Terror" was founded, equipped with the claim that aliens were a creation of the Devil, as god never mentioned them, and were sent to lead humanity into destruction. By most people, they are viewed in the same light as Neo-Nazis and Racists, but others believe their word to be true, even if they don't personally participate. Their goal, is mass genocide, or at the very least segregation, of any and all alien life forms, as well as the seizure of all alien technology by the church, which will be studied and used to prevent all other alien invasions.
While the President of America and the Aetas of Dactylia support a united congregation between man and alien, there are aliens who do not. They call themselves the Kradictron, which translate roughly into "The Revisers." They are also fueled religiously, but believe that their Terminus gave them rights to this planet, and that he proved it by landing them their. In their philosophy, it states that humans are sub-beings, like animals, and whose only use is for entertainment, slavery, and meat.
In summary, there are four factions:
- American Citizens
(Humans who believe in and support integration) - Dactylian Citizens
(Aliens who believe in and support Integration) - Holy Terror Members
(Humans that believe in and support segregation and alien genocide) - Kradictron Members
(Aliens that believe in and support Human enslavement)
Plot
In the year 2036, the Aetas of Dactylia, Magnus Keztur, was assassinated. While the Holy terror group has neither confirmed or denied responsibility, it has encouraged them greatly that humanity truly does hate humans, and silently wishes that the aliens will disappear one day. Due to this false mindset, they consider themselves the heroes of humanity, and use it as a rallying call for anyone who has ever had an ounce of bigotry against aliens to join their numbers. Likewise, the Kradictron used the assassination as a symbol of human debasement, and that it proved humans were simply violent beasts that learned to communicate. Also like the Holy Terror, they use it as a way to paint themselves as the only beings who truly care for the Aliens' well being, and also use it to recruit members.
While a war has yet to break out, tensions are high between aliens and humans, and support for both The Holy Terror and The Kradictron have rose drastically since the assassinations, leaving only a few thousand that still believe in the possibility of human to alien coexistence. Even fewer of those members make up a unified task force, who's goal is to discover who is truly responsible for the Aetas's assassination among incredible amounts of hostility from either species. Their Title; Project Freestone.
