The World of For All Mankind

Fifty years ago Earth was attacked by an extraterrestrial threat known as the Xenos. Their true name and where they come from are unknown. Every contact with them has only been met with hostility. It is believed and highly likely they are a singular organism, capable of learning from their past battles and creating new better worries from a hyper-fast evolutionary process.

Ono-Sendai was a corporation that rose to prominence during the mid to late 22nd century. They were originally a robotics company, branched out into all aspects of technology. In time they would outstrip the GDP of most First World countries. When the Xenos attacked chaos was rife throughout the globe and it was only to the swift action of Ono-Sendai that they were able to be held at bay. Ever since then it has been a fifty-year deadlock with neither side able to gain substantial ground.

Ono-Sendai now has influence and control over every facet of modern life. With this, they fostered a strong warrior culture, encouraging people to join the military and even enforcing conscription in some sectors. The main poster child of this is the leader of the Attack Corps, Samuel Werven. A living legend who is known as the greatest human warrior to ever live.



The Government of Ono-Sendai

Ono-Sendai follows a hierarchal structure based on merit. While one is not born into what they must do for the rest of their life, at least in theory, conscription is common and a prime example, once you are in a particular division it is rare to leave it.

Ono-Sendai is divided into four large divisions. Each division is further separated into a number of corps. Each corps has a leader and so does each division. The one exception is the military division which has no division leader.

All four divisions are overseen by the President of Ono-Sendai, Apollo, who also acts as the head of the Military Divison.

Military Division

The guardians of mankind, the military division is exactly what you would expect it to be. Supplied with the latest and greatest equipment the division strides ever forward to beat back the Xenos threat. The division is by the largest in terms of sheer manpower, unsurprisingly given the current state of the war. The Division is divided into three corps.

Attack Corps Lead by Samuel Werven (Codename Jupiter, but he rarely goes by it), the Hero of Mankind. He plays more of a frontline role, inspiring by leading by example rather than planning from some safe, secure war room. He is the pinnacle of what it means to be a warrior.​

Defense Corps Lead by Ares . If Jupiter is down in the trenches, then Ares is the one planning the general strategy of the entire war. When Apollo is absent, off to see some other aspect of Ono-Sendai, Ares is the one acting as Division Head. His influence is immense, able to make or break careers without a second thought.​

Although it is rare for him to go out into the front line of combat, it is a welcome sight for those that are there to be saved by his hand. Piloting some of the most advanced Mech Suits, he is the inspiration for those that wish to pilot the fearsome Mecha.​

Stealth Corps Lead by Hades [Information Redacted]​

Research Division Lead by Athena

The pioneering spirit of mankind is what drives it ever forward and safes guard it against the Xenos. This is never truer than in the Research Division. The smallest in terms of manpower but arguably the most important. It is also the only division not to be divided into Corps, but rather Projects. Although they typically fall into one of two categories. 'Military' or 'Non-Military'.

Creation Division Lead by Hephaestus

Responsible for the creation of everything in Ono-Sendai. From what the Research Division develops to the infrastructure of the empire. It is divided into four main corps. This Division is what keeps Mankind alive. Energy, food, transportation, housing, and many are goods are all supplied by the various Corps that make up the Creation Division.

Manufacturing Corps
Agriculture Corps
Energy Corps
Infrastructure Corps
​

Administration Division Lead by Themis

The second-largest Division it is responsible for the numerous services that keep Ono-Sendai safe, secure, and prosperous. Safeguarding law and order for almost a century there is nothing that escapes the calm oversight of Division Head Themis. It also acts as a general catchall for any Corps that do not fit neatly into any of the other divisions.

Medical Corps
Police Corps
Safety Corps
Justice Corps
Education Corps
Media Corps​

Shadowsun

Vitality: 1

Strength: 1

Dexterity: 1

They decide they want to play a Bruiser and select that class. The Bruiser class’s Power Armor grants a +2 Strength and a +2 to Vitality but a -1 to Agility resulting in the new stats below.

Vitality: 3

Strength: 3

Dexterity: 1

Agility: 0

They decide to use their two free points to put one point into Vitality and another into Perception, resulting in new stats below.

Vitality: 4

Strength: 3

Dexterity: 1

Perception: 2

Agility: 0

Pretty simple I know, but examples always help.

The military of Ono-Sendai is divided into three branches. The Attack Corps, Defense Corps, and Stealth Corps. Each is led by a Corps Commander who inspires great respect in not only their own branch but also in the general population.

Attack Corps

There is the Attack Corps, the spear and sword of the military. Famous for their ‘Killer’ series robots, the Attack Corps prides itself on the world-class warriors it produces. The figurehead for this branch is the mighty Samuel Werven and his robotic clone, Samuel Jupiter, well it was until Samuel Jupiter was slain by the Xenos Champion.

Much of the warrior culture of Earth stems from the formulation of the Attack Corps, that coupled with the Xenos threat.

Warrior –



By far the most popular class, the warrior class forms the backbone of not only the Attack Corps, but the military of Ono-Sendai in general. The warrior class strikes a balance between the close quarter’s melee and short to medium ranged attacks. Although the warrior class does typically focus more on melee encounters, they are more than capable of ranged confrontations. The warrior class is also in many ways the most versatile class able to fill a number of roles although never to the same degree as the other classes more specialized to a particular role.

Starting Equipment:

Medium Cybernetic Armor (+ 1 V)

Power Stimulant (+ 1 S) or Reflex Stimulant (+ 1 D)

Neural Implants (+ 1 P) or Light Exoskeleton (+ 1 A)

Ranger –

While the warrior class strikes a balance between close-range weaponry and melee combat the ranger class is the stock riflemen of the Attack Corps. Focusing on medium to close range they do not have the same range or damage potential as some of the ranged classes they make up for this with their versatility and adaptability. Additionally, they are not solely focused on ranged encounters and most are fully capable of melee combat if the situation calls for it.



Starting Equipment:

Ranged Combat Training (+ 2 D)

Light Exoskeleton (+ 1 A) or Medium Cybernetic Armor (+ 1 V)

Bruiser –

The bruiser is one of the more specialized classes, focusing on melee combat using its augmented power suits that increase the strength of the user while also keeping them well armored. The main drawback to this is their slower speed. However, this is often not an issue as their powerful armor is able to soak up large amounts of damage making them perfect for spearhead operations that strike deep into the heart of the enemy.

The most important stats for Bruiser are Strength and Vitality.



Starting Equipment:

Power Armor (+ 2 S, + 2 V, -1 A)

Striker –

If the Bruiser wants to fray for as long as possible soaking up damage and dealing it back in return the striker wants to come in hard and fast and then dip back out before their enemy is able to land a shot on them. Often employed in hit and run operations the Striker is a fast and lean warrior often given equipment that greatly increases their speed and maneuverability. Whether they choose to deal their damage with close-ranged firepower or with melee weapons varies from striker to striker but whichever they choose they are sure to be deadly.



Starting Equipment:

Cybernetic Jetpack (+ 2 A)

Power Stimulant (+ 1 S) or Reflex Stimulant (+ 1 D)

Defense Corps

The Defense Corps also known as the Support Corps is responsible for the training and deployment of the more support functions of the Ono-Sendai military. While not as flashy or the main selling point of the military it serves a vital purpose providing the more specialized roles. The Defense Corps also employs a smaller number of some Attack Corps classes but they are used to safeguard key military and civilian locations and almost never used for offensive actions.

Medic –

While many of the other classes can be grouped as entire squads and deployed as only members of their class this is seldom true for the medic. After the warrior the gear available to the medic is perhaps the most versatile of any class, they have been known to be gifted the jump packs of the striker to the heavy armor of the bruiser. The medic’s main focus however is not direct combat, it has as one would expect to heal and embolden their comrades during the fight. This can be achieved in a number of ways from chemical stimulants to mending and fixing wounds on the battlefield.




Starting Equipment:

Choose two:

Medium Cybernetic Armor (+ 1 V), Power Stimulant (+ 1 S), Reflex Stimulant (+ 1 D), Neural Implants (+ 1 P), and/or Light Exoskeleton (+ 1 A)

Healing Ability - Able to repair and fix machinery and humans, making them stay in the fight for longer than they normally would be able to. The degree of effectiveness and the quality of their healing varies by level. A higher perception and dexterity score will lead to better results.

Artillery –

The heavy firepower of the Ono-Sendai military. Deployed when more heavily armored Xenos are expected this class by far has the greatest damage potential for range confrontations. The only possible exception being the sniper and assassin classes for single target kills. Artillery by themselves however is often a poor idea so artillery squads are often deployed with other units to guard them. Artillery classes also make up the largest portion of mecha suit pilots as many of the medium to higher-tier mobile artillery class weapons require a greater frame to support.



Starting Equipment:

Integrated Neural Tracking Chip (+ 2 P)

Medium Cybernetic Armor (+ 1 V) or Power Stimulant (+ 1 S)

Shield –

The Shield class is perhaps one of the most unique classes in the Ono-Sendai military. Often deployed in coordination with Artillery classes or other key military units their primary purpose is not to engage in combat but to assist in protecting other units. They are also trained in battlefield medicine although rarely to the same degree or capability as the medic.



Starting Equipment:

Energy Shield System (+ 2 V)

Neural Implants (+ 1 P) or Light Exoskeleton (+ 1 A)

Shield Ability - Able to use their own Vitality score for a nearby ally. Duration and number of charges vary by level.

Stealth Corps

By far the smallest of the three corps, the Stealth Corps is shrouded in much mystery rumored to be gifted the more experimental technologies before they are rolled out to the mainstream military personnel. The Stealth Corps provides a few highly specialized roles that are almost never intended to see engage in combat for large stretches of time, although they can if need be.

Recon –

Recon units are a crucial aspect of the Ono-Sendai military, forming much of the intelligence that has been gathered on the Xeno. Recon units have the shortest lifespan of any class able due to the precarious nature of their role. Their armor is also some of the weakest but allows for much greater speeds than other classes.



Starting Equipment:

Reconnaisse Training (+ 2 P)

Reconnaissance Armor (+ 2 A, - 1 V)

Assassin –

The smallest and most secretive class, the assassin's role is one that is stealth, secrecy, and finding the right opportunity to eliminate their target. While they do use sniper rifles that are more the domain of the sniper, assassins on the other hand more often use close combat to eliminate their targets. The assassin class is tasked with eliminating key Xenos threats, crippling their synaptic network potential saving millions of lives. It is rumored that higher-level assassins have access to cloaking technology that makes them invisible.



Starting Equipment:

Assassin’s Step (+ 2 A)

Neural Implants (+ 1 P) or Reflex Stimulant (+ 1 D)

Sniper –

The sniper is deployed deep inside friendly lines, filling a similar role to the assassin without the advantage of going behind enemy lines. Expert riflemen their accuracy is second to none. Unlike the assassin however if engaged in close combat, while not incapable of putting up a fight, they are sure to be at a disadvantage.



Starting Equipment:

Sniper Training (+2 D)

Neural Implants (+ 1 P) or Light Exoskeleton (+ 1 A)

Upgrades

Throughout the game, various upgrades will become available as you level up. Most give boosts in the various ability stats. Some give no boosts but grant special abilities. As new upgrades become available they will be listed here.

The letter next to the weapon indicates which stat is used. If there are two stats like this: A+S that means it uses both agility and strength. If there are two stats like this (P or D) that means it uses perception or dexterity, whichever is higher.

Spoiler: Melee Weapons

Combat Knife (D)

A standard combat knife that is given to many classes, while far from the deadliest weapon, it still has many uses and is a cornerstone of melee weaponry.

Warrior Options

Warrior’s Katana (D) or Warrior’s Longsword (S)
Two main melee weapons exist for the Warrior. The Katana which favors quick, precise movements or the Longsword that employs more powerful, strength-based attacks. Both are deadly in the right hands.

Assassin Options

Assassin’s Katana (A+D) or Assassin’s Broadsword (A+S)
The Assassins class’s focus on speed of movement, getting in that crucial strike, has resulted in their weaponry being geared more towards how fast they can be rather than their Dexterity or Strength. These still play vital roles in their respective roles but are weighted along with Agility.

Spoiler: Ranged Weapons

Warrior Options

WI-08 Ion Rifle (P) or WR-09 Ballistic Rifle (D)
The standard issue rifle for the Warrior class. As typically with Ion weaponry the nature of the highly advanced power cells require great precision, a single point of high-powered energy being released. As such it typically deals much more damage than ballistic weaponry. The main advantages to WR-09 over the WI-08 however is their faster firing rate, and their lighter frame allowing meaning it leans more toward quick movements to shoot accurately rather than awareness of the battlefield.

Medic and Shield Options

MI-02 Modified Ion Rifle (P) or MBR-03 Modified Ballistic Rifle (D)
Almost identical to the Warrior WI-08 and the WR-09 respectively. These versions however were made for classes whose primary purpose is not necessarily direct combat. These modified rifles are lighter, more compact, but often inflict less damage onto their targets. The same rules apply regarding the differences between Ion and Ballistic weaponry.

Recon and Assassin Options

RB-06 Ballistic Pistol (D) or RI-07 Ion Pistol (P)
For some units it was deemed even the modified rifle was too cumbersome or ranged damaged was simply not the priority. As such various pistol designs were developed. The same general tendencies of Ion pistol dealing more damage but a slower fire rate and the Ballistic pistol dealing less damage, but a higher fire rate apply.

Sniper Options

ISR-11 Ion Sniper Rifle (P or D) or SSR-13 Ballistic Sniper Rifle (P or D)
Almost completely exclusive to the Sniper class these two Sniper Rifles are long-ranged hard-hitting weapons. The main difference between the two is the ISR-11 is used by snipers seeking out more armored, powerful targets. While the SSR-13 is favored to take out multiple key units in quick succession.

Artillery Options

AM-12 Mortar (P) or IC-27 Ion Cannon (P)
integrated into the cybernetic armor of the user these two large weapons can chew through the battlefield, causing havoc and chaos in the enemy lines. The mortar fires projectiles that explode upon impact, making it a great boon for crowd control of many weaker enemies. The Ion Cannon is the reverse, a single blast of high-powered energy that is able to smash through heavily armored foes.

Spoiler: Armor

Light Cybernetic Armor (+0 V)
For those classes that do not require the same shielding as some frontline units or have the need for certain equipment that would be incompatible with more comprehensive armor the Light Cybernetic Armor is a great choice. By far the most produced armor set that exists, it even sees frequent uses in the Police Corps for safeguarding domestic issues.

Medium Cybernetic Armor (+1 V)
The standard set of armor for the warrior class. Reliable, durable it has become a stable of the Ono-Sendai military. While issued to every warrior it also sees frequent uses among some defense corps classes although is not as widespread.

Power Armor (+2 V, +2 S, - 1 A)
This more expensive armor set is in truth more leaning towards a light mech suit than an armor set. Designed exclusively for Bruisers it trades off slower speed for great power and durability. Due to the expensive nature of the suit it is frequent that those that apply for the Bruiser class do not get accepted and are instead put through Warrior training.

Reconnaissance Armor (+2 A, -1 V)

Due to the need for greater mobility the Stealth Corps requested an armor set that was even more mobile than Light Cybernetic armor. By removing less than necessary armor spots and some small exoskeleton components to assist in running, Ono-Sendai was able to develop a suit that greatly increased mobility with only some minor reduction in protection.

Spoiler: Equipment

Neural Implants (+ 1 P)
The standard neural chip is a standard that has existed for at least over a century at this point, despite being so common there still remains reservations among the general public about brain alteration, in fact it is the least common part of the body to be enhanced with cybernetics.

Light Exoskeleton (+ 1 A)
A light frame around the legs the exoskeleton assists in movement and allows the user to travel far greater distances than normal. It also decreases stress on the joints and is known to be common among the elderly and those that need assistance walking.

Cybernetic Jetpack (+ 2 A)
A standard issue piece of equipment for the Striker class, the cybernetic jetpack is truly a marvel of engineering. Using simplified design of the fuel cell that was used to power Samuel Jupiter, the ability to make even small adjustments in trajectory has proven to been a boon to a class that strikes first and strikes hard.

Integrated Neural Tracking Chip (+2 P)
A more advanced Neural chip, like its simpler sibling it enhances the user’s ability to notice, filter and process their surroundings. A requirement among the artillery class due to the need for great accuracy with their payload, the INTC is once again a testament to the genius of the Ono-Sendai corporation.

Energy Shield System (+2 V)
Issued to the Shield class the energy shield system is able to create protective force fields that are able to sustain great amounts of damage. While usually only given to the shield class it is known for other classes to use them on occasion, although only veterans that have proven themselves capable of battle. When it is issued to those outside the shield class, it is never with the ability to create shields for those around them, this is due to the extra hardware required making it not worth it for any that are not in the shield class.

Spoiler: Boosts

Power Stimulant (+ 1 S)
A steroid that increases muscle mass and the strength of the user. Not all of Ono-Sendai’s technological wonders are in robotics, there are biological wonders as well.

Reflex Stimulant (+ 1 D)
While not a steroid this drug increases the reflexes of the user allowing for faster reaction times and better coordinated strikes. The power and reflex stimulants are never given at the same time.

Spoiler: Training

Basic Training (+1 in every category)
Regardless of class every recruit that enters the Ono-Sendai military undergoes basic training. Here they are whipped into shape, broken down from their civilian lives and reforged into soldiers. After these recruits are either sent to more specialized training or straight to their first post.

Ranged Combat Training (+2 D)
As the primary source of light to medium firepower rangers are expected to be able to handle a rifle better than their peers in the warrior, or any other class for that matter. Undergoing a rigorous two-month courses these ranger hopefuls are taught how to use a variety of ranged weapons, their skills honed on the range, preparing them to slaughter Xenos.

Reconnaissance Training (+2 P)
While there are basics of land navigation at basic, the Stealth Corps has found that is not enough for their Reconnaissance units. Taught how to transverse all terrain types and how to relay information effectively the month and a half training course is vital for the success of the scouts.

Assassin’s Step (+2 A)
Speed and lightness of foot are crucial qualities an assassin needs to carry out their assignments. The assassin’s training course, affectionally called ‘The Assassin’s Step’ is the specialized training for assassins, focusing on movement, dodging your opponent and using your superior mobility to find that one critical spot to strike.

Sniper Training (+2 D)
Needless to say the art of the sniper is a complicated one. One that has become somewhat easier with the rise of neural chips, still extensive training is still required in order to fully utilize the lethality of the sniper rifle. Intriguingly this training begins with the pool of Ranger and Sniper applicants, a joint program between the Attack and Stealth Corps. Then based on preference and score performance the training splits into the two specializations.

Initial Stats:
Vitality : 0
Strength: 1

Agility: 5

Bio:
The Modern Amazon, or that's what the Ono Sendai daily newspapers nicknamed her as. According to Ono Sendai scouts, her real name is Veronica Greene, and she may be the fastest woman alive. Veronica Greene shattered multiple world records originally held by career Olympians such as Florence Griffith Joyner, who previously held the 100 and 200 hundred-meter dash world records of 10.47 and 21.34 seconds, respectively.

That was until Greene broke those records at an Ono Sendai-sponsored track meet, clocking in a time of 9.70 seconds for a 100-meter dash and 20.34 seconds for a 200-meter dash. After seeing this type of performance, Ono Sendai pulled the greatest trick ever seen by getting Veronica into the military and join a unit with the highest mortality rate instead of continuing to live a life of fame and recognition. The best part is that they managed to convince Greene that it was all her idea, as, during the recruitment process, they showered her with all kinds of gifts and endorsements from various organizations, traveling the world and living a life of a billionaire for a short period of time.

Then Ono Sendai "accidentally" showed Greene the devastation caused by the Xenos invasion, the shock of seeing such destruction, and the knowledge that, as a part of the recon unit, she could help prevent such chaos. After this event, Greene immediately joined. To make sure she had no second doubts, Ono Sendai even had her meet Samuel Werven. After a private conversation about ideals and motivation, Greene's everlasting loyalty to the cause was secured.

Vitality: 2

Agility: 2



Bio: Rudra was once known as Amadeus Singh, the eldest son of Hamid Singh, a cybernetic software coder and Lorena Henrieta Cardenas De los Santos Singh, aka Loren Singh, a Chilean socialite, singer-actress. The two met at an Art & Science Expo in Paris. Amadeus also had a younger sister, Felicity Singh.

Due to the importance of his work, Hamid spent very little time with his family. Despite being a successful cybernetic software creator, Hamid’s business partner wished to secretly sell his share of their small company to Ono-Sendai, a move Hamid learned through clandestine means. His marriage was also strained and his wife wished for a separation, or a divorce. By now, Hamid had become a stranger to his children, as he escaped the stressors of his life by delving deeper into his work.

He had no idea that young Amadeus idolized Samuel Werven and the Attack Corps, and followed their every exploit to a near obsessive level. His sister always teased him about it, but he relished every minute. Amadeus had no love for the Xenos and was always on the fence about joining the Attack Corps, mostly because he wished to become an actor and perhaps be cast as Samuel some day.

Little did he know then of the day his family SUV would be attacked by Xenos. As always, Hamid was not around when it happened. The attack was ‘typical Xenos fare’, however, the Attack Corps responded to the civilian alert before everyone was killed. Unfortunately, Amadeus lost his mother and sister that day, and much of his own body parts. He was saved by medical prosthetics and low grade cyber parts. Amadeus had not known that aside from their family ‘picnic’, his mother had been on her way to secretly meet with a ‘divorce advisor’ that day- and would likely never know. Amadeus lost everything he ever cared about, and for a time the will to live as well. However, a deep seated hate for Xenos blossomed within him, a fiery hate that would threaten to consume him if not properly channelled. And so, after some counseling, he was persuaded to join the Attack Corps.

Amadeus changed his name and identity, for his old life was over and a new one began. He would become a warrior and one day, become a surgical tool in the extermination of Xenos, just like Samuel Werven. Venator Rudra would exact his revenge on the Xenos.


Either that, or die trying.

 

Name: Sword “Chaos” Oran
Age: 23
Appearance:
Class: Sniper
Initial Stats:
Vitality: 1
Strength: 1
Dexterity: 4
Perception: 2
Agility: 2
Bio: Sword was born a trouble maker. It wasn’t hard for him to stumble into or start some kind of mayhem. Rules and expectations were too boring for his tastes. He craved adventure, fun, and the freedom to go wherever and be whoever. It started simple with attention seeking with his neglectful caregiver (as he often called her), but escalated as he grew a liking to it. He flunked out of his last year in school having missed so much and breaking the rules... and perhaps setting the boys' restroom on fire had a little something to do with it too.

It was an easy life of pleasure, some illegal enjoyments, crime, and fast vehicles. It wasn’t long that he earned the nickname of Chaos for his love of creating it. And with his natural talent with speed and dexterity, the Police Corps had a hell of a time trying to capture him and lock him up, all of which only added fuel to his recklessness, almost believing he was invincible. But it would come to a grinding halt with a terrible accident, almost killing him. He awoke in a hospital bed attached to wires and tubes, but he was alive, and grateful to be so. Ono-Sendai had finally caught up with him, offering the exchange for surgery to repair any damage for his service. It was a difficult decision to make, but he eventually agreed to the deal.

Giving up his life of freedom and reckless abandon was incredibly tough on Sword, but somewhere within, he remained grateful for his second chance at life. And despite it all, the harsh training was exactly what he needed to pull himself together and become someone he could be proud of.

 

Name: Tenaka Wasille
Age: 27yo
Appearance: Average

Alright, maybe not exactly average. Obvious skin transplanton on head/face, brown eyes, black hair with a shock of white (or white with a shock of black depending on what you know). Old fashioned dress style.
Class: Medic
Initial Stats: Neural Implants and Reflex stim package.
Vitality 1

Bio: Becoming a medical Physician's Assistant (PA) was supposed to be a safe job. Graduate without crippling debt nor soul crushing responsibility! Serve his community and lead a simple life. Problem was droids or Xenos ruled the world and his part of that world was in need of warm bodies to give the machines an edge.

So he was swept up in an conscription draw. With his training he was assigned to the Medic Fast Track, was given a bit of an upgrade package he could never afford, and taught the finer points for machine repair. All else fails -kick it with your titanium steel toe boots!

Bio: Bouvier Farley was just another soldier on the battlefield. Yes, he was nobody special. He had been serving since he was a teenager of seventeen and had no plans to stop. Why? A silly question. Why not? The world was convulsing defiantly in its own End Times, what was the point in planning for the future? In cherishing love, burning with hatred, or rebelling against a government that was desperate in keeping you alive? Corruption was a thing, but priorities first, come on. But in the end…seriously. What did it all matter?

They were goners. Every single one of them. There had been a glimmer of hope, a sign that he may yet be wrong…the sensation of craving a time beyond all this…and its name had been called Samuel Jupiter. And it, like all else, was nothing but a whisper on the wind. A wind choked with ash and blood that had been long since strangled out of the world it still swirled across.

Why then did the man who hoisted the hard-light shield persist? Why even bother fighting at all himself? If so defeatist, why not just pick a spot to curl up in and die? Honestly, that’s a good question. The answer doesn’t make any sense, not even to him. But it is there all the same.

Romanticism.

Not in a person, a place, or thing. Not of the world or humanity as a whole. Certainly not himself. No. It was the fight. The struggle itself. The fact that those around him would continue to struggle despite the utter futility of it. It was…strangely, oddly, nonsensically beautiful. Just look at it. Look at them. Dead men and women, one and all, and they know it. Deep in their hearts and yet they…resist. Pointless, you could even say stupid…but damn it all!

It was beautiful.

And that beauty, that one effusive and ephemeral thing alone was worth fighting for. He fought so those around him could live just that little bit longer to keep the beauty alive. To keep it going just that bit longer, until he too could join them in whatever lay beyond. To witness it.

Strange thing was…everyone around him kept dying eventually. He kept them going for quite some time, he was rather proud to admit. Something about an increased survival rate of 3.7 times the average, not that the numbers meant much to him. He just did what he could. But that was the oddity. They all eventually did die as one would expect in this insanity. But not him. He alone was the lone survivor in whatever group he was put in. Again and again and again and again and again and again and...

And here he was once more, ready for some ‘Spec Ops’ group now. The inefficacy of it was astounding. The magnitude of the dissent being thrown into the Xenos’ collective faces amazing. After 2,000 squadmate deaths and his persistent existence (despite his lack of trying on his own part) —

‘Bou’ was being sent as the questionable shield before the charge again.

“Alright. Let’s go.”

Name: Tish Wagner
Age: 23
Appearance:
Class: Artillery
Initial Stats:
Vitality: 2
Strength: 3
Dexterity: 1
Perception: 3
Agility: 1
Bio: Born into a Canadian family in exile because of the Xeno advance, her mother now emotionally traumatized for life and her father a helpless drunkard out of fear, and with all of her old friends she grew up with likely dead or scattered so far away it was unlikely she would ever see them again, Tish has enough reason to hate the aliens as much as anyone else.

Hoping to get some revenge on them while doing her part in helping the rest of humanity not suffer as she has done, she has signed up to fight. Always something of a strong woman, she decided to use it to her advantage and get further increases to that physical department in battle, she knew she was going to do something that required strength. Liking the imagery of explosions vaporing the enemy (and a lifelong love of fireworks in general) and the dream of piloting the larger mechs, the idea of going the artillery route in the Defense Corps did not take long to come to her.
