The War of Galaxies, A Science Fiction Story

Mars City
January 22 year 2130

Hotaru sat upon a stool belonging to a noodle shop. It was amazing that these thing still existed and here on Mars as well. Yeah you heard that right, Mars. Who would have thought huh? Here it is the year 2130 and we have colonized it. Human's can only do so much with earth anyways and space was getting taken up rather quickly. Which was why the USC was put to the task of making places outside of earth hospitable. Mars was the second thing on the list to get just that, colonized. With the creation of atmospheric generators the planet was quickly made live able. By quick I mean two to three years but it happened. With the success of the moon it did not take long before eyes turned to the red planet. With that said a few more years and boom here she was in Mars City enjoying some uber udon soup. It had all that was needed in it including a boiled egg. She sighed as she looked into the bowl her reflection staring back at her.
"Something wrong with the soup? Miss Utada?" Came the voice of the owner. She looked up and shook her head.
"No, nothing is ever wrong with your soup. I just have a lot of my mind." She answered.
"It has to do with those weird uprisings don't it?" He asked. Not like it was secret,.. it was all over the news and radiostations. You would have to live underneath a rock to not know.

She nodded to him and picked up her spoon and began to tug at her noodles to get it all stirred. Once it was to her liking she put the spoon down and picked up the chopsticks and began plucking the soft noodles out and into her mouth. She looked up at the hologram display, this thing was like a television. She saw that it was some talk show host speaking about the uprisings. She moved a finger over to it and hovered her finger over the volume controls and raised it a little.
"This is the fifteenth time a attack has occurred, what is the government even doing about this? They sure clean up the messes quick but I don't see any attempts to end it for good." spoke the host.
"Well John,.. you know I don't think it is uprisings. Mostly just terrorists like back on earth. The groups still need to be stopped of course....."
The voices continued, spouting out their petty bull crap as if they knew anything. It wasn't that simple... the tech used in the attacks wasn't theirs. Plus... she saw claw marks as well. Not small ones like from a animal mind you.....

She sighed and hit another button and turned it off. "Idiots... if only it was that simple." She said. The owner smirked and snorted.
"You got that right... I trust if it was in your control it would be solved. Then again that's gossipers for you. They never really know anything about the situation. They only think they do." The man responded.

--------------

Mars City was not completely perfect. Even through mankind's advances there were still criminals.....
"Lady,.. I aint going to ask you again. Give me your purse or I will kill you." The man said. He was huge and what made him even more intimidating was that his eyes gave away what he was. They had saucer disk liked eyes in their place. He was part of the cyborg population. This woman however was still not having any of it. She shook her head at him and held onto the purse. He rose his gun and aimed it directly at her he pulled back the hammer and in turn she closed her eyes waiting for the inevitable... but something was wrong. No muzzle flash occurred.

She opened her eyes to see the man pointing his gun in another direction. Farther down the alley way. His body was shaking. Something was there that the man did not like. She followed his aim and what she saw gave her the chills. Red glowing eyes,..... their shape was inhuman but she could see no body to them, only shimmering.
"Reveal yourself you son of a bitch,... before I drop you!" He yelled. His paused showing he was nervous. The eyes narrowed as if glaring at him. It then emerged from the shadows and revealed it's true form. It was hideous and huge. A lot more huge then the man had expected. It had two sets of arms. Two were smaller then the others and held some sort of gun he never seen before. It was out of this world and had tubes connected right into the creatures arms making the weapons connected right into the being's body. This prevented other races from using the weaponry. It's other set of arms were connected to two giant cleaver like appendijes... "What the fuck are you?..." The creature didn't even answer or hesitate. It raised up it's rifle and light glowed from the weapon's cracks and a arc of energy shot out ripping into the mans body blowing a large hole into it and sending the thugs remains backwards. The woman moved to run but it's feet propelled it into the air to land in front of her causing her to trip. Before she landed on the side walk one of those cleaver like claws tore into her should and pinned her to the wall. What came next was it taking her head off...

.... This attack was short lived though for a gunship flew seemingly out of no where. It was fully automated and its turrets aimed at the creature and opened fire. While it did this men dropped down from the gunship's body. These people carried cases and bags. After the gunship had done it's job these people began to clean up the mess. Mostly the important bits they didn't want the public to see or Section 8 when they arrive.

Appearance: Hotaru stands at six feet two inches with short wavy hair. She is pale as snow and has dark violet colored eyes. To the untrained eye Hotaru would look like a normal girl. Yet she wasn't, her job required certain things to be done to her. A full augmentation of the body. Where parts where traded out for better ones. There are tiny slits in the skin that would give this away. She wasn't completely cybernetic. There were parts of her that were still human though. That said she is often found in her uniform which will be discussed later. When not in uniform she is often found wearing a simple none sleeved shirt and a black skirt. Her olive shaped eyes give away her nationality. Do to her occupational hazard she also carries around with her a .45 magnum with a heavy frame. This weapon is located at her right hip. When on duty she carries her choice of weaponry. It is a much more modified and specialized P90. She preferred it to most weapons.

Name: Hotaru Utada Usanagi

Age:30

Biography:
Hotaru currently works as a member of a special task force. At first she thought it was for special human cases like herself. This task force was titled Section 8, it dealt with very special cases but not human ones. It was formed only recently and so far she has only responded to the after math of whatever was occurring in Mars City. It was weird, for the attacks were not like anything she had ever seen before. She did not ask any questions,... she just did what she was told and cleaned up the mess.

She was once just part of a first response team of the local law enforcement. Due to her skills though and her determination she was hand picked to be part of Section 8 as well as a few other people. Not all were picked from law enforcement though, some where military and other fields.

Her family was chosen for their connections though. Or at least that is what her father claimed. She did not know if he was telling the truth and they were related to some Yakuza family on earth or what. A part of her thought it was bull shit and that her father was just letting his pride do all the talking. All that matters is that she was picked and here she was.

Hotaru's reward for accepting the offer from Section 8 gave her some perks... the first perk was they yanked her brain and internal organs out of her body and then remade her body into a shell. A fully prosthetic body that wasn't just military grade but of the secret kind. Once it was all done she was given the high rank of Section 8's leader. Well the task force that is. What her abilities where... well that is for her to know and for you to find out.

The War of Galaxies, A Science Fiction Story

The War of Galaxies
A Science Fiction Story by EWillden

The Setting:

It is the year 2130 on the once dead red planet of Mars. Now it looks completely different. Not the red star we all got used to seeing in our childhood on earth. There was still red in it no doubt but now it had something different. Something it didn't have before. A atmosphere and breathable air. This was all made a reality by the USC. The colony that formed on mars at first started small after the planet was terraformed. Now it had bustling cities and malls. It was completely something. Mankind had made history in this edge of the galaxy. From the moment man first walked on earth they always dreamed about what was up above them and so unreachable.



You and your family are residents of the red planet, how you live on Mar's is up to you, from Waste management to law enforcement or even military. Hell you can even be a manager at a corner store. Whatever floats your boat. You have been living here sense you were born because your father's or Grandfather's family was chosen by Earth's lottery to go to Mars and begin life on the planet. Everything has been going well for you.... so far. Then attacks have occurred. According o the USC and Mars Government they were simple uprisings that were quickly dealt with. But was that it to the story? No body knows. People made wild guesses of course but which ones were truth and which ones were just bull shit that is up to you to decide.

The Basics:
Okay that's that. You are a citizen of Mars, you will live your chosen life as you see fit like you would on earth. However, this is fantasy so be what you want to be. Here are your choices:
* Human
*Cyborg: Reminder, these are cyborgs that resemble the ones on the show Ghost in the Shell. They look human just like anyone else but are unique to their original design when they were just plain human. A few signs can be seen from cuts in the artificial skin or their eyes are not like yours or mine. However, they are still human, just modified. Not all their parts are machine.

That is it. This is pretty open world though so if you have any suggestions of questions please ask below.

Your occupation is up to you... again read up above. I don't care what it is as long as you have one.

I will be posting a Character sheet so you can get a jest as to what it is all about.

Jarvis looked to Malkai and then to Catarina and nodded. "Damned Priests probably put those suckers in here as a defense against any intruders." He figured it had to be that. He then moved to the door and was about to turn the nob and then stopped. He turned to see where their rogue had gone but she was just that... gone. No body nothing... she must have seen the darkness spells and decided the quest was too much. He sighed,... I was starting to like her. The dwarf thought and shrugged. He then looked to the others and sighed once more. He moved his hand to the door and turned the knob. "Again step back. If there is a trap it might miss me. Unless they had dwarves in mind for these things as well." He added. What where the chances they had traps specifically for dwarves? These Nerul worshipers can't be that clever... right? He turned it and as he did so he rose up his shield as he opened the door just in case. Luckily, Malkai was right. Not every inch of the place would be filled with traps. What they would find is stairs going up. At the top of it was a arch way leading into the domed room you could see from the outside. The stairs only connected to more stairs spiraling against the antechambers walls. Statues adorned the way, they where not of the skeletal variety but of stone. They looked demonic as well.

As he moved up the stairs and saw the room he decided to take a look over the side and saw the Chalice sitting on top of its resting place. Surrounding it was a pool of water and steps. If there was another booby trap it would be connected to that thing for sure. There were more statues there as well and he had a bad feeling about this. He looked to Malkai. "How good can your bird catch?..." He asked him. He then rose his head. "I don't care,.. just be ready for when I toss that thing your way." He said. He then with his hammer smashed the railing and then leaped off the side. He braced against the fall which wasn't that far down. He skipped the whole going up and down the stairs because... well this room gave him the creeps. When he recovered from his landing he made for the chalice. He placed his hammer down and walked right up to it. He reached up and grabbed it. Sure enough as he did so the pillar it rested on began to lower itself into the floor. The statues that surrounded him began to come to life including the ones on the stairs. "Damn... Gargoyles!" He yelled. He looked towards Malkai and tossed the chalice as hard as he could.

He then ran to his hammer and lifted it up to ready the gargoyles attack. However, they looked away from him and towards the chalice. What?... One then took flight with it's stone wings and flew towards the chalice and caught it. The gargoyle then flew back down to the same level Jarvis stood and their eyes locked. Jarvis sighed and he could feel the floor begin to give way and when it did he fell through a dark hole. The party probably wouldn't care but the gargoyle followed suit with the chalice. New stairs also began to form going downwards but not following down the same hole.

The gargoyles left numbered at eight. Two for each member,... it was weird how that number seemed to double what was left. Two to one, the odds were against the group. Would they defy such odds and fight off the gargoyles and chase downwards hoping to come across Jarvis and the Chalice. Or would they follow the rogue and leave now. Problem was... the chalice's pedestal didn't only activate the gargoyles or the hole. It also closed the door behind them. Well not closed, the wall itself moved to block their path. The wall had the symbol of the chalice. Meaning there was only one way it would open again and that was when the chalice was in their hands.

-----------------

Vivian wondered where Alyssa had gone to but perhaps her faith in the woman was misplaced. She looked to Catarina and made a silent prayer that this one wouldn't abandon them either. She then waited for what surprises were beyond the next door. She was still some what recovering from the shaking the dark mantle's caused. They were lucky those where only small ones. The larger ones in the underdark were far much more dangerous. Known to eat even bigger prey then themselves. She followed after the door leaving room for someone to stand behind her. Luckily there were know traps for the moment. None in need of the rogue. Then their path came to a large antechamber. It looked like they were inside the domed section that they could spot from the outside. The best part was there was the chalice. Sadly,.. their small friend decided to take the initiative and be the bait for any trap. She watched as she readied a fireball. Not knowing what she would be going up against. Jarvis started by busting down the railing and leaping down. She would have followed but that would have defeated the purpose of him being the bait.

She noticed the statues and began to study them with her eyes watching them and then every so often looking back to Jarvis they were so close now. He was reaching for it. What happened next was so fast she couldn't believe what was happening. The gargoyles came to life and floor collapsed beneath Jarvis's weight and he was gone. What was worse is his plan to toss the chalice to Malkai was ruined by one of the said Gargoyles catching it. It then proceeded to tumble or fly right down the same hole. Then her ears twitched as the way behind them closed. When she turned to look in the direction she saw the wall closing their path. It was sealed by a spell that would only lift with the touch of the chalice. She bit her lip as she looked to see two gargoyles coming right at her. She aimed her hand and launched the fireball. It hit and she found she misjudged how close the gargoyle was as she had to raise her arms up to brace from the impact. The first one was down but the second one came at her forcing her to raise up her scythe. It's long clawed hands wrapping around the scythe. She pushed back as much as she could keeping it far enough away so it couldn't bite her face off.

I am sorry to say this but we have lost a member of the group. Meiyuki is finding it hard to post do to rl stuff. So with that said I am gmodding her character into basically vanishing from the roleplay. Alyssa still exists she just took to her rogue nature and abandoned us for a much easier job. That said the role play has re opened. @Ryonara and @Lucius Cypher you are good to post again. Even if it is a small post, once that happens I will post a advancement post of the party.

P.S: Those who have created another character can feel free to put him/her in the roleplay.
