The year is 2113 and mankind is finally on that brink of destruction. Some said the day man would have to face the end would never come, whilst others ignored the possibility and continued their secluded lives. Science grew and morals failed and before long there were no bounds to how far research would go. Because of this, we were all dragged into a war that we could never escape.
However...I shouldn't get to far ahead without explaining the past.
It started the year after World War II ended. The nazi party crumbled and communism was halted for a moment. With Hitler's death, the german people still wanting to continue his legacy, looked for a way to revive him through science. They failed, but in the process they learned something vital, something advance. Theories say their research was jump started by aliens, but that is just another mindless rumour people like to believe.
After that, things calmed and the talks of genetic research was hidden away, being conducted only by the communist party. However, by the mid 80's the research had become full scale and all world powers were in on it. The United States, being the biggest sponsor, were the first to make the first product in 2013, however it was not until 2060 that a perfect syrum had been made. The problem was the syrum could revive the dead, but not the mind, conscious, or morality. It was then decided that the syrum could be made into a weapon and used against their enemies.
2090 - The third world war broke out beginning with Russia restoring the communist dictatorship to their country demanding rights to expand into lesser neighboring lands. The United Nations stepped in and decided to end this campaign and thus soldiers were deployed to various countries like the US occupied Afghanistan and Iraq. This did not halt the Russians and by 2101 the war was full blown. Six nuclear attacks had been carried out world wide, including the devestation of Washington State.
2102 - The UN decided that using top secret biochemical warfare was the best way to resolve this conflict. The UN fired six missles containing the Syrum into Russia causing the disease to mix with the nuclear radiation and spread like a wildfire.
2105 - 90% of the world was now infected and the 10% unaffected resided in quickly fortified domes across the surface of the planet. The rest of the population was infected and now what were called the Arxen. Arxen are fiendish mutations of man that are agile and aggressive. Their diet primarily consists of human plasma.
2113 - Dome 7, referred to as D7, was invaded by the Arxen and destroyed. The survivors of D7 have tried to make contact with the nearest dome almost four hundred miles away. Contact with D9 was a failure.
The surviving citizens of D7 must now set out to travel to D9 in hopes the dome still stands. That is where I come in. I'm one of few whom are in this traveling group. Some of us are ex-soldiers of D7, whilst others are civilian ranked. Those who can fight must protect the weak as we make our way over mountain and forest fighting through Arxen along the way.
...That is our mission. I pray I don't fail...
Arxen Notes
Arxen are very brainless and act on instinct alone. They tend to mutate coming between eight and eleven feet tall with a grayish texture to their skins. Muscles strangely grow in a short period of time, making them faster and stronger.
Their mutation is rare, allowing them to adapt easily to their surroundings.
I.E. A mutation within a tank will in time will evolve with the tank and use the armor for their own defense. Some reports say they can even develop arterys to interact with wiring inside weaponry giving them control over any weapon in human history (in this case the cannon atop the tank).
Mutations also never communicate in words. The vocal cords are useless to them and they communicate with each other through body languages.
An Arxen devours living organisms in order to jump start their evolution and grow stronger. Male Arxens tend to do so in order to gain the Alpha Male status of a group making male's much more dangerous.
Arxen blood is a good healing source however. A few drops of it will clear a wound in a matter of days.
Current Objective
Travel 400 miles or more to the nearest dome city, D9. Those with weapon experience should be on guard duty and relied upon to protect the weaker civilian class. No member of the civilian class is permitted to get too far from the group. Doing this risks the safety of everyone and is punishable by death.
