Icon (Scott Hunter): Henry Cavill (Man of Steel, The Tudors)
comments: He would be a good...wait a minute, he's already Superman! But, Henry, you will not have to worry about competing with the Batman here! (Thanks Ded, I had cast Cavill as Scott after the first time I saw him in The Tudors back in '07 or '08...damn you Snyder!

Flux (Chrissy Jones)



Casting by @Dedonus

Radiance (Alexa Winstone): Ashley Greene (Twilight)


Slipstream (Amanda Allen-James)



Racheli Lorna Desdemona: Nora Zehetner (Heroes)
comments: With her relatively short performance in Heroes, I would say that Nora could play Rach.


Justine Shepherd: Shailene Woodley
comments: While her eye color does not match the picture that Tearstone provided in his character sheet, but I think her face does patch that image (minus the eye color).


War-Pulse: Sebastian Stan (Captain America movies)
comments: Compare the below image with War-Pulse's appearance in his character sheet and tell me how would this not be the perfect fit?


Raptor (Zac Wilson): Dacre Montgomery
comments: While I have not seen the most recent Power Rangers movie yet, I'm assuming that the Red Ranger could be a good fit for this role.


Robert Wilson (Zac's Father): Sam Elliot, 10-20 years ago (Prancer, Hulk)
comments: Weird that I cannot pick an actor for Zac, but I can for his dad...


Wasp (Kelly Brown): Milana Vayntrub (AT&T Commercials)
comments: I don't know if she could act in an action movie, but in my mind, she looks the part of Kelly. Also, they would have to omit the part about Kelly growing over six feet tall, but that can be easily over looked. :D Finally, if Emma Stone can play a high schooler, I'm sure Milana can pass for a college sophomore.


Bast (Sammy Kadowsky): Hayley McFarland (Criminal Minds)
comments: This is what happens when you look at the Criminal Minds wikipedia page for each of their seasons. She kind of looks young in this picture, but I assure you that she is 24 (born in 1991). Funny how the story arc that gave Sammy her "powers" was inspired by Criminal Minds, too. :D


Arachne (Aubrey Adkins): AJ Michalka (Goldbergs/Super 8) / Elle Fanning (Maleficent/Super 8) / Karen Gillan (Doctor Who/Guardians of the Galaxy/Jumanji)
comments: Arachne would be, well, interesting to put on the silver screen since she is not entirely a humanoid, unlike most of the characters in this roleplay. Therefore (unless this "movie" is taking place in the IC, where they could hire Arachne to do the stunts) Arachne would probably have to be done via CGI, much like the Hulk in the Avengers. They would probably CGI the action scenes but use green-screen magic to get some close-ups. They could also use the techniques Marvel Studios did to make pre-transformation Captain America to make sure the actress does not fall victim of a common trope for superheroines.

Karen Gillan is the oldest (29), the tallest, the only non-American (Scottish), and only one of my three choices who is not naturally blonde. However, none of these are deal-breakers. Hair color can be changed (cf. Emma Stone in the Amazing Spider-Man movies), actors play younger roles all the time (cf. Emma Stone again), movie magic can fix any height issues (coughTomCruisecough), and accents can be faked. When casting an actress for the role of Arachne, one must consider that there are two aspects to this character: the superhero and civilian. I believe Karen could nail the superhero part of the role, as her film resume shows.

AJ Michalka is the second oldest (26). In the same way that Karen would excel at the superhero portion of this role, AJ would do the same for the civilian part. Aubrey is a pretty similar to the character she played on the Goldbergs. I have no idea whether she could do the superhero part of the role (the closest she has come to this was voice acting for Steven Universe).

Elle Fanning is the youngest of the bunch (19). AJ Michalka and her so happened to have played sisters in Super 8. Her age is both a positive and a negative. She is the closest to Arachne's age in IC (21/2) and by the time a hypothetical movie is produced, she would be the right age. Plus, she would be young enough to do multiple movies (cf. Tom Holland for MCU Spider-Man). The only negative deals with Arachne's "assets." While I would admit that "enhancing" any of these actresses would be a little weird, it feels worse doing it to a 19 year old.

Character you have created: Kyle Porter

Speech Color (Actually say what you're using, don't go "Like this", or what not): n/a

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Secret

Character Personality: Kyle has always been a laid back guy, who despite having a somewhat difficult upbringing would be described by most as being carefree for the most part. However, he does have a tendency of getting overwhelmed, and that can sometimes cause him to get into a bit of a funk, which can be difficult to pull him out of. However, in the months since his abilities began to manifest, and he took to the streets as the costumed vigilante Lyger, he has been more serious even as he tries to maintain his carefree lifestyle.

Origin Info/Details: Kyle Porter has had a hard life by some standards. His mother died when he was a young boy and never really got to know her. He was raised by his father, who never got over the death of his wife and mostly found comfort in the bottom of a whiskey bottle. He went through much of his life in relative obscurity, never popular at school, however not really unpopular.
His life changed once he enrolled at Lost Haven University. He became relatively popular on campus, he even started to date a sophomore.
However, his life would change even further one night while he was on his way back to the dorms after a party. The car that he was riding in was struck by a drunk driver, and Kyle was severely injured. He required emergency surgery as well as a blood transfusion. Little did anyone know that the blood he received contained the meta gene, and when the blood mixed with his own, he began to develop special abilities of his own.

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):

Kyle Porter sits up in his hospital bed as the nurse enters his room and takes a few last minute readings before the hospital can send him on his way. He is anxious to get out of the room that has been his home for the last week. He has never particularly liked hospitals, and after spending a week there, he is in no rush to come back anytime soon.

There was a knock on the door and suddenly he saw the familiar features of Samantha Myers pop into the room. His oldest friend looked around for a moment before entering.

"Just wanted to make sure you're decent." She quipped as she approached his bed.

"Yeah. I'm good to go. Just waiting to get the OK from the doctors." He said.

Sam took a seat beside the bed as Kyle packed the few possessions that he had in the hospital room into a small plastic bag. After several long minutes, the nurse came in and told him that the last tests came back clear and that he was free to go.

"Awesome. Let's head down to the lobby and wait for my dad." He said cheerily.

"Um...your dad can't make it. He had to fly out to Pacific Point last night for business. He asked me to come get you." She said, somewhat apologetically.

"So...you're my ride?" He asked.

"You're quick, aren't you?" She said with a grin.

"Oh great...first the crash and now this....Somebody really wants me dead." He joked even as she smacked him on the arm as they made their way down the hall.
In Create-A-Hero: A Superhero RPG Season 3- Shattered Dimensions → 4 yrs ago Forum: Advanced Roleplay
We are the Game Masters, and this is our world.

This is the world of Earth in my universe, where I and my fellow Game Masters are the sole powers. This universe is ours to shape to our will, and those that defy us cease to exist.

In the center of this universe resides the planet known as Earth. Being the center of the universe, this blue world has a special significance to us Game Masters, and so many cosmic events shall involve or focus on this infinitesimal, yet important sphere. This is by design, not accident. Unfortunately for the planet, they know not of our existence, nor their importance in this universe. They simply exist in a world they think they control.

To most of the people on this world, everyday life does not involve aliens, supernatural battles, or cosmic conflicts. However, this is about to change, for my fellow Game Masters and I have chosen to ignite the spark in this planet as well as in other worlds. Soon heroes and villains alike, both powerful and powerless, will appear and the conflicts will begin.

Much mystery will be revealed by these noble and nefarious beings. The Lost City of Atlantis is hidden, much like we Game Masters are, however soon this ancient realm may be unearthed to the rest of the planet, to either the world's detriment or delight. Even the wondrous civilization of the Moon and beyond may choose to unveil themselves after millennia spent in hiding. Marvels both technological and magical await those who possess the fortitude to seek them out, however this would be their choice.

We Game Masters only interfere when times require it.

The people of this world saw the unimaginable as the planet’s new protectors repelled a demon attack on the city of Lost Haven in what has forever become known as D-Day. Then they trembled with fear as the terrorist organization known only as Pax Metahumana threatened the entire human race by encompassing several US cities with domes that had the ability to transform those trapped within them and that would slowly overtake the entire world. Much to their relief, once again a loose alliance of heroes disrupted their plans and captured those responsible. Then they were shocked as an anti-meta human organization calling themselves the Hounds of Humanity used an orbital satellite known as The Finger of God to wipe several US cities from the face of the Earth, leaving thousands dead in their wake. However, their reign of terror was stopped by the combined efforts of the world's heroes. The Hounds of Humanity had been defeated and their leadership imprisoned, however, the scars that have been inflicted will be felt for generations.

To the people of the world, the unusual has become common place. Super has become the new normal, and heroes have become more than costumed do-gooders, they have become a symbol of hope to some, and something to be feared by others.

Now this world faces its gravest threat yet. An Armada that has traveled across the stars extinguishing all life that it has encountered, led by a tyrant unlike anything that our heroes have faced to date.

Will the world’s new protectors be up to the task? Or will the invaders from the planet Arlaaek succeed in eliminating all life on Earth, and beyond? Only time will tell...

Create a Hero RPG Season 3

Screen Name: NiteMare Shape

Character you have created: Scott Hunter
Alias: Icon

Speech Color (actually say what you're using, don't go "Like this", or what not):
as Scott
As Icon

Character Alignment: Hero
Identity: Secret to the public

Character Personality(Give information on how your character acts, what he/she believes in, how they handle situations): He is a man who doesn't fully understand himself. He grew up not too far from Lost Haven in Conway New Hampshire. It's a small ski resort town several just several hours south of the city. Although he grew up a normal kid with normal a normal family, he is anything but normal. He has amazing powers that he doesn't fully understand. While he was growing up he hated himself, he was angry at the world for making him a "freak." He wanted nothing to do with his powers, he just wanted a normal life. However, as time went on and he grew older he learned to deal with his powers, and eventually he embraced them. He believes in fighting for what is right. He believes in protecting the weak, and making sure that they are taken care of. Overall, he is a good man with great power, trying to do the right thing.

Uniform/costume: See below

When he is not in costume fighting villains or trying to stop general catastrophe he runs a nightclub called The Hub with his best friend Eric Dean.

Origin Info/Details: Scott Hunter may seem like a normal guy, but he is anything but. Everything about him is a lie, his parents, his older brother as well as his younger sister. None of it is real. Although they raised him as their son, he isn't. In fact, he isn't even really human. Scott was the result of a secret experiment by atop secret government agency that mixed alien DNA with that of a human. While he was a baby; he was cared for by a woman named Barbara Hill, who was a member of the top secret government agency. What the objective of this experiment was is unknown. While going about her daily tasks at the project, Dr. Hill learned that the program had been terminated, all evidence was to be destroyed, and the baby known only then as SKT-17 (she affectionately called him "Scott") was to be eliminated. Having recently lost her own child due to the actions of a drunk driver who also claimed the life of Dr. Hill's husband, she could not stand the thought that this child who she began to see as her own, could be killed. She stole the child from the laboratory which created him, and fled to the north. She gave the child to a trusted friend, Jacob Hunter and his young bride Elizabeth. Soon after, Dr. Hill was tracked down by agents of the government unit and killed. Jacob and Elizabeth took the young baby, and continued calling him Scott as they felt that there would be no need to change his name, seeing as that is what Dr. Hill had called him his whole life.

Scott was raised by the Hunters as one of their own children. He always knew that he was different, that he had these abilities, but he never understood why. As his powers developed throughout his childhood, he became increasingly confused and angry. This was a cause for concern for his parents, because they never understood exactly why their son was this way. When Jacob died when Scott was still just a child, Scott blamed himself for his father's death, feeling that it was the pressure of raising a "freak" that caused his young father to die of an aneurysm. Eventually he learned to deal with his gifts. At first he used his gifts for selfish reasons, often profiting from using them dishonestly (mostly in athletic bets). However, after an incident which cost his older brother Brandon his life, Scott left his family and found himself in a self imposed exile. He traveled around the country, spending much of his time on the West Coast. While he was away, he would often step in and anonymously lend a hand to those in need. He eventually got back into contact with his mother and sister, and was shocked to find that they did not blame him for Brandon's death. After a lot of self reflection, he made his way to Lost Haven where he opened a nightclub called "The Hub" with his longtime friend Eric Dean.

Do you know how to post pictures on the RPG boards:




Sample Origin Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):

"Hurry Up, get that money into the bags!" One of the masked assailants screamed to one of the others.

Four masked men had stormed into Centennial Bank demanding that all the money be handed over. Juanita Juarez crouched in a corner, trying not to look at the carnage on the floor. However, she didn't have to look at it, he knew exactly what had happened in the moments after the masked men entered the bank. Two security guards and a customer were all dead, killed in the hail of gunfire that erupted when the masked men made their intentions clear. Trying to avoid detection, she just sat there; huddled in the corner, hoping that this would all end soon.

"This is Captain Price of the Lost Haven Police Department. We don't want anyone to get hurt, just come out and place your weapons on the ground." A voice came from outside. The four masked man became agitated, prodding the tellers to hurry with the money.

The man who seemed to be leading the robbers went over to the large glass door and opened it a crack as if he were to begin negotiating a way out. Instead, he fired several shots at the police cruisers parked in front of the bank. The police returned fire, sending shattered glass all over the inside of the bank.

"Hold your fire d*mn it!" Captain Price ordered, recognizing the danger that the civilians inside the bank were in. He puts the megaphone he is holding to his mouth again.

"Hold your fire, there is no need for anymore bloodshed. We can resolve this peacefully, and without any more casualties." Then another shot rings out, forcing Price to get back behind the squad cars.

Realizing that the situation is getting worse, the lead masked man began looking around the bank looking for a way out of the bank that didn't involve him being in prison or a body bag.

"Jimmy, go around and check the back, maybe we can get out that way."

The thug that the lead masked man was talking to nodded and went out the back, and came back moments later looking alittle panicked.

"That's covered too, three maybe four units out there. We're trapped."

The lead masked man looks around at the hostages and sets his sights on Juanita Juarez, who is still huddled in the corner. He quickly moves over to her and grabs her by the hair, forcing her to her feet. "GET UP!" he screams at her. She lets out a cry as he forces her against the wall.

"Everyone up, NOW!" He screams at the hostages, as the other masked men corral the remaining hostages up against the same wall as Juanita.

"Alright folks, this is real simple. We're getting out of here, and you're all going to make sure that we get out safely. We're all going to walk out together, and your gonna be standing right in front of us as a human shield. If the pigs open fire, you'll be there to make sure that we don't get hit. And if you try to run, make no mistake about it, I will shoot you. Now, are we all clear on that?"

Suddenly confusion takes over as there is an explosion of glass, and what can almost be described as some sort of whirlwind inside the bank. The gunmen and hostages gather their wits and they see a man standing before them. He is dressed in a dark blue body suit with silver bands on the arms and legs, a blue and silver cape, and he has a thin mask that is the same shade of blue as his costume. The man just stands there as the gunmen open fire on him. The gunmen and hostages stand there in amazement as they watch the bullets just bounce off him.

"Oh no, this ain't hapening, this AIN'T happening!" The lead thug shrieks as he continues to fire his weapon until it runs out of bullets. Then the man fires optic blasts at the four masked men's weapons, knocking them from their grips. The man in blue grabs the first masked man and tosses him into a wall, obviously holding back as to not serious injure the man.

"That's enough guys, it's over. Give it up and nobody has to get hurt." He says to the other three men. They think it over for a moment, and then stand down.

Moments later the man leads the hostages and the masked men out of the bank to the police who are waiting down on the street. When he met Captain Price and the other officers they just stood there for a moment looking at him, not knowing what to make of this new player in the city.

"Thanks for the help son." Captain Price felt somewhat embarrassed at the hokiness of what he said, but it was all he was able to muster.

"I'm just glad I was able to help sir." Then in front of the police, and the media that had gathered at the bank, he just flew away.

Rules and Expectations

* Stay true to the personality and abilities of the character, such as no Cyclops moving planets with his optic blasts, Dazzler defeating Galactus, or Aunt May as Galatus's new Herald...

* Do NOT rip off existing heroes in comic universes. Come up with your own creation. If your character is too similar to one in Marvel, DC, or other comic companies, you will be asked to change it or come up with a new character.

* Before starting a game wide event, check with the GM to ensure it will not conflict with ongoing plans. Such events should NOT be your introductory arc.

* Gods and other deities are not allowed. However, characters such as Darkseid and Odin, who may have been worshiped as such; are. Any "gods" such as the Olympians, will be as regarded as The New Gods or Asgardians in DC and Marvel.

* Mind control, reality warping, and cartoon physics and other such powers are not allowed.

* Do NOT criticize another poster’s character. We are not all Stan Lee or Shakespeare. Constructive criticism is okay as long as it is not offensive. This rule applies even if a poster asks for feedback.

* Your character should make sense. Wolverine doesn’t dance in the flowers. If you have a meek character, they shouldn’t be smacking other characters around.

* NPC's can be an important part of this game. Do not kill or otherwise compromise another player's NPC's without permission from the player who controls them. If the player does not consent to what you want to do, you cannot do it.

* Communicate with others in your arc. This is key to the fun. It doesn’t matter how many fights you win, it matters if the fights were written well.

* If you are collaborating with another player and you do not hear from them for 1 week, and they have not let us know of an absence either in the OOC or through PM's either directly to you or the GM's, feel free to move on without them.

* The Game Masters have the final say in matters of character acceptance. You are welcome to alter the character to make it less powerful or more creative, but arguing with the Game Masters is not allowed. This is a game, let it be fun.

* You are allowed up to four characters. However, if you are new to the game we recommend starting off with one. You can always add another character later.

* This is a working environment, so you can travel to different places using your powers or vehicles. Don't miraculously pop up unless you're a teleporter or such.

* If you are new to the RPG, your first arc should be your origin arc. There are NO pre-established characters in this RPG.

* You can reside in any place in the New Universe. Note, however, that the main city is Lost Haven, Maine. This is where a lot of the action will take place. You can also travel off-planet.

* Don't do anything RANDOM like chopping off board user's heads or what not, unless you're a villain chopping off NPC victims heads, then whatever, go with it, as long as it's not technically RANDOM.

* Don't be killing people without reason. You know your weaknesses and strengths, what you can do or can't. Dazzler will lose against Thanos one on one, but may be able to use her allies to help her out or she can run away.

* If you want to take part in this, just fill out an app and your name and character will appear on the roster, pending approval.

* You can form super villain gangs, superhero teams, alliances, the works.

* There can be a number of stories going on at once, using different people.

* Act like your characters; ASSUME their traits and personalities.

* There are endless places to go and endless things to do: ENDLESS possibilities so get creative.

* This game is essentially a PG-13 game. Use your discretion for cussing and swearing in posts. Some swearing is okay, but don't overdue it. Please don't make me amend this down the line.

* No obscene topics! NO exceptions will be made for the RPG.

* People who disobey these rules, some more major than the others, will get BOOTED by the Game Masters.

*If violate the rules and manage to get yourself banned from this game (or the discord chat), we reserve the right to write your character out of the game in any way that we as GM's see fit.

* I made most (if not all) of the character banners in this game. If you join and would like one, feel free to ask.

* This game has OPEN ENROLLMENT. There are no limits on the number of players who can join. Feel free to fill out a CS and join the fun!

Need to Know Events:
-Pax Metahumana: Doctor Diplodoc, a scientist, who had invented a serum that could imbue metahuman powers onto regular people, planted several devices hidden in Lost Haven and several other cities that would create a sort of energy dome that would progressively transform the population of the world into metahumans. He claims that, due to recent events, humanity needs to 'evolve' in order to survive and his plan would do just that. While the heroes were able to dispose of the device in Lost Haven (it was dropped in the Atlantic Ocean), the devices in the other cities detonated. A coalition of heroes rallied together to storm Doctor Diplodoc's base and deactivate the domes. While most people exposed to the domes were cured afterwards, those who developed powers at the onset of the crisis were stuck with them. Locations affected: Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles/Pacific Point, Philadelphia (RIP), and Seattle.
-The Hounds of Humanity:
Locations affected: Philadelphia, Nautican Island, Paris, TX. (all destroyed to a variety of degrees), Lost Haven, Pacific Point (attacks only)

Alright guys, and that concludes Season 2. It's been a fantastic 3 years, and I want to thank you all for everything that you've done to make this season so much fun. We've had some ups and downs, but I like to think that we bring the best out in one another. I'll be getting the Season 3 thread up very soon.

Just a reminder, if you had an active character this season, you will not have to reapply for that character, you'll just be able to post the CS in the character tab.

The two weeks that followed Scott's meeting with the enigmatic Vigilante at The Hub had been relatively uneventful. Icon had followed the mysterious man's advice and went to California where he spoke sought the help of The Son of Osiris of West Coast's super hero team, The Immortals. Although he had been eager to help, the Immortal was unable to shed any light on the identity of whoever had declared war on him.

Things had been relatively quiet in Lost Haven. There had been no meta human attacks in the city in weeks, and whoever was after him had been quiet. There had been no further attacks on Alexa, his mother checked in almost daily, and would be arriving in the morning. Jenny had even returned to Lost Haven, though she had been staying with some friends in Carver. And while things had been relatively quiet for Icon, for the man behind the hero, it had been anything but.
The days had begun to blend together as Scott and Alexa made the final preparations for their wedding, which was now only two days away. Alexa's parents had flown in from Los Angeles the day before and had been staying in Alexa's penthouse, which made things slightly awkward as Mr. Winstone still went out of his way to make sure that everyone knew that he didn't approve of Scott marrying his daughter, only for Mrs Winstone to try and be a buffer between the two men. Alexa told Scott that it was just the way her father was, and that it wasn't personal, he had always been like that. However, deep down, Scott knew that while that may have been the case in the past, Mr. Winstone's disapproval was in fact, very personal. So much so, that Scott was thrilled to take a trip over to the Seaside Gateway, the site of the wedding and reception, to go over some last minute details with the event planner, Amy.

Much to his relief, everything was set for their big day. The wedding cake and flowers were set to be delivered the next afternoon, and the staff at the venue would take care of all the decorating. Much to his surprise, everything was coming together as planned. The realization that everything was going smoothly began to make him nervous. Things rarely went smoothly for him. While running the club, he found that something always seemed to go wrong. The shipment of booze didn't come in as scheduled, the DJ's didn't show up, masked gunmen barged in and began shooting up the place, or someone opened a portal to Hell and unleashed demons on the city. He wasn't used to things going quite this well, and it was almost as if he was waiting for the other shoe to drop.

He made his way back to his apartment, where Alexa had planned to meet him. He wanted to spend some time alone with her without having to worry about her safety, and without having to worry about her parents. He turned down the alley behind The Hub and went into the door that led to his private stairwell. When he got into his apartment, he went into the kitchen and got a glass of water. He thought about how in just under 48 hours, everything would be different. He'd be moving out of the apartment and into Alexa's penthouse in Sherman Square. He'd miss this place, even though living upstairs from his nightclub could be less than ideal at times, this place had been good to him. He'd offered to let Eric take it over, but he'd declined. So he offered it to Jenny, who was more than happy to have her own place.

Scott then made his way from the kitchen to the roof access door. He'd spent countless nights up on the roof, staring out at the city. Although the view wasn't as grand as the view from Alexa's penthouse, there was something special about it. It made him feel grounded, connected to the city and her people. He'd truly miss it, and the feeling that he got every time he went up there. He stood there on the roof, in what had become his sanctuary, the place that he'd come to think when things weren't going well, and even when they were, completely lost in thought. He thought about the time that he had spent there, about the upcoming wedding, and about the future. Until he was suddenly startled out of his reverie by the feeling of a pair of arms wrapping themselves around his waist, and a kiss on the cheek. He looked back and saw Alexa's smiling face. He shifted a little and wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to him.

“What'cha thinking about?” She asked as she leaned against him.

“Not much.-” He said. “-And everything.”

“I know what you mean.” Alexa admitted. “It's all happening so fast.”

“I know. It's hard to believe.” Scott told her.

“It really is. But I'm excited.” Alexa said.

“Me too.”

“Do you have any regrets?” Alexa asked.

“Plenty.-” Scott said. “-But not about this. Not about us.”

“Good. Then-” Alexa said. “No regrets.”

“No regrets.” Scott said as they both looked out over the city that lay sprawled out before them.

Admiral Keelan stood before the view port of the Arlaaekan mother ship as it led the great Armada across the stars. It had been a long journey, however, the Armada was nearing its next destination. A world which had recently seen the expiration of the Great Concord, and as such, would soon meet the fate that had befallen the thousands of civilizations which had come before it.

Extinction.

Keelan made it his business to study the worlds that the grand Arlaaekan Armada conquered, and their next target was no exception. Unlike the worlds that had come before it, the planet Earth was a primitive backwater world that held little value in the grand scheme of things. It was a planet who's inhabitants were warlike barbarians, who divided themselves into tribes who fought and killed each other based on the color of their skin or due to the locations of their birth. And while the planet had some semblance of a military, it was no match for the weaponry that the Arlaaekans possessed. The greatest weapon that the Earthlings possessed was a small number of their population, which had been imbued with great power. They looked to these beings as gods, however, as they would soon learn, their faith was misplaced, as the Arlaaekans would soon eliminate these powered beings on their way to the Earth's total annihilation.

This invasion was unlike any other before it, for Earth had earned the ire of the Autocrat, and by extension, the entire Arlaaekan civilization. Not only had the Earth accepted the Great Concord, but among its population hid a heretic. One who had rejected her calling to serve the Autocrat, a coward who abandoned her duty and fled the vast Arlaaekan empire. It was a slight to the Autocrat that had almost gone unnoticed, up until the moment that the great Armada had entered the star system which the Earth called home. Had it not been for a nearly silent frequency that reached out to the stars from the surface of the planet. The familiar signal from an escape pod, meant to allow the Armada to locate a lost Arlaaekan should they be stranded. It was intended to be a lifeline for a son of Arlaaek who had lost their way, yet it would be instrumental in dooming yet another civilization.

Keelan's gaze remained focused on the view port. A slight smile creased his lips as a small blue orb appeared in the distance before him.

“We have almost arrived my lord.” Keelan said to the hulking being that stood beside him. At the admiral's words, the Autocrat stared out into the void of space, at the blue planet that seemed so close, yet so far away.

“Indeed we have, Admiral. Look on the Earth, for we will be the last to see it as it appears this day. Soon, nothing will remain but fire and dust.”
