The Story So Far:
In the year 2037 humanity discovered a beacon of unknown origin hidden beneath the sands of Egypt. It's discoverers, in an act that resulted in their demise, activated it... opening a gateway which allowed a hostile race, whose name lies forgotten, to swarm through. This invasion quickly caught the attention of E.G.D.T. (Eurasian Global Defensive Task-force), a coalition of Europe and Asia's major nations who sent a veritable armada of combined forces to halt the hostile attack on their planet. After a long and brutal battle, E.G.D.T. Officials came to the realization that this foe was not something they could fight alone. Calling in assistance from their (then-foe) The United American Armed Forces and the three major Private Military Contractors of the time, E.G.D.T. did it's finest to hold the line until they could get backup. When all hope seemed lost, and their efforts in vain, one of the PMCs responded by rushing aid to the battlefield. The sudden arrival of TitanWorx forces proved enough to drive back the invasion... if only for a moment. Now with a sizable ally at their side for the duration, E.G.D.T. regrouped and began to plan for a retaliatory attack on the unknown aggressors.
Now interested in why the incredibly powerful, Antarctic-Based TitanWorx had assisted an alliance they had no part in, U.A.A.F. investigated what had happened in the war-torn country of Egypt. What they found was enough to appall the man in-charge; millions of human soldiers lying across blood-red sand. Immediately reporting this to his fellow military personnel, General Edward Slagg questioned the politicians who had refused to send aid and that had censored reports from the front line. Angered at the actions of their corrupt leaders, the military of the U.A.A.F. immediately relieved them of power and took up arms to assist E.G.D.T. and TitanWorx. With the information now public knowledge many more nations joined the fight, forming the United Earth Military Pact. Standing united, the forces of Earth easily managed to push back a second wave of the alien invaders and stormed through the open Gateway to the species' homeworld. This action took their foes by surprise and left them too little time to act before their very species was exterminated. In a last act of defiance before they were destroyed for good, however, the race unleashed a biological weapon upon the humans: The Corruption. Those who survived the initial stages of infection were rendered incredibly resilient, while those who fell were transformed into horrible monsters intent only upon the consumption of their fellow beings. The E.G.D.T. section of The U.E.M.P. quickly developed a counter-measure to combat the threat while the U.A.A.F. worked to utilize The Corruption as their own weapon. TitanWorx, meanwhile, quietly slipped through the Gateway and took over the new world, naming it "Terra Sigma". After the remnants of Earth's military were thoroughly destroyed by The Corruption, their efforts wasted, TitanWorx sent a retrieval force to collect what they could of the planet's technology. Discovering the projects set in motion by the two major entities, the PMC-turned-Nation quickly worked off the prototype data and produced the first set of Edge Powered Armor and Slagg Gene-Boosters.
Their success in production was short-lived, however, as the Edge PAs lacked a sufficient power source and the Slagg Boosters relied upon the very weapon that had destroyed Earth to grant them power. Investigating the "Native's" technology, TitanWorx found a way in which one could draw energy directly from a being's soul. This was quickly incorporated into the Edge PAs and inserted into those who would undergo the Slagg process as a form of remote bomb, ensuring that they would be killed instead of being turned into insane monsters. Now with technology capable of causing notable damage to the creatures on Earth, TitanWorx has begun the training of young recruits to use these weapons in the inevitable invasion of Earth... this is where you come in, newbie.
tl;dr: Earth is dead, we live on another planet.
Xenthriss' Foreword:
This project, Binary, began as a project between yours truly and The Dark Wizard. Unfortunately, due to TDW's schedule I have been force to take up the RP by my self. This is a very much work in progress and isn't quite flight-worthy yet. Your input is valued and will shape how this is finished. Below are the basic rules and the character sheet, any inquiries that you have please make as I will be working on an FAQ section. Also, assistance from somebody who knows their way around a plot would be much appreciated.
Rules:
*sigh* Yes, I have to list these. Just use your brain for the most part.
1: No Godmodding. Do not insta-hit anything but non-critical NPCs, even then attempt to do so in a way which is not an anticlimax (I.E.: Killing a Slagg Supersoldier with a single bullet to the head).
2: No Powerplaying. Do not try to control another player or a non-hostile NPC. If you try to control another player then I will, no questions asked, remove you from the RP and bar you from rejoining. This is a one-chance situation.
3: Keep it Clean. Sex is not allowed beyond cut-to-black. If you wish to ERP then preform the actions elsewhere. The Inn's User Guidelines do not permit this behavior on-site. Personally, I don't mind. Sex is just part of life to me, but other people might get offended.
4: At Ease Soldier! Although the main personnel will be military, they come from a PMC which as much more lax standards than an official military. Still, piss off the CO bad enough and you will be scrubbing toilets with a toothbrush.
5: Posting Format. It is requested that you post in nice, tidy, easy-to-read posts not succeeding five paragraphs and lacking any unneeded prose. Dialogue is requested to be colored, but that is optional. If you do something wrong, don't worry, I'll tell you what happened and let you edit it.
6: Xenthriss is God. Remember, I'm the one pulling the shots here. If I say something happens it does. You abuse the system I have bad things happen to your character. Don't worry, I'm not evil like most people, though. I want to see you succeed.
7: OOC is OOC. If I catch you letting things that happen outside of the RP bleed into the RP itself I will give you one warning before severely handicapping your character. If it happens a third time you will be removed and barred from rejoining.
8: Hehe, he said "Ass"! You're human. You can play a prude if you want, but nobody is restricted in their language. Note, however, that if you do or say anything blatantly racist I'll be keeping an eye on you to make sure the character doesn't become some sort of outlet for your hatred of Frenchmen or something.
9: Ooh, me accent's slipping! If your character has a visible (written) grammatical tic or something try to keep it unless some massive character development moment happens that would logically make them stop.
10: Railroading. While I will try to avoid this, if you ass around too much and delay the plot for a long enough period I will take minor steps towards setting you on the right track for the story.
