THE SUN BRIGADE

 

Since the beginning of time, mankind had already begun building a world of steel. It was small in size, but it began to expand indefinitely. One could say this Stahlwelt originated from the human heart, and when the crisis occurred, mankind could only retreat into the one safe place: the steel world that enveloped their very being.

 

On top of an ocean was a gigantic dome of steel. The greatest minds the world had ever had the privilege of witnessing came together to create an eternal prison for mankind: an asylum for the men that had completely destroyed their own world.

 

It had been countless centuries since man had locked themselves in the Stahlwelt. In the very center of the dome lies a gigantic tower guarded by mechanical giants known as “Angels”, beings that will not move unless provoked. Keeping watch from the base of the tower, the giants stood still, preventing any man to coming close to the tower. It was rumored that the man who built the Angels had a design to guard the tower from anyone to ever enter his “Kingdom of the Sun”, which lay at the very top of the tower.

 

This man was known as a merchant of war during the building of the Stahlwelt, and he was a nameless hero of man who united the people by building the Stahlwelt through his magnificent abilities and wisdom. What he left behind was a legacy as the one man who ruled the world as its sole monarch, and powers known as “contracts”, a power given to every child upon birth within the Nexus, a room that houses the light of every star in the universe.

 

People questioned where the contracts originated from, but with these powers, mankind began to develop into a new civilization of ability users. In a sense, you can say man evolved in its confinement.

 

For many centuries, mankind and machine lived in peace, but a few days ago, an event known as the Collapse happened: days suddenly began to repeat themselves, as if the fabric of time has collapsed on itself, and all continuity was lost. A new terrorist organization made an appearance upon releasing a gigantic machine into the dome, a new machine god known as Dispater, with their objective being the supposed riches of the Kingdom of the Sun.

 

You are a new recruit for the Sun Brigade, a military organization filled with scientists, soldiers, and students of the military academy, a group formed with the intent of combating the terrorist organization now known as the Mors, the machine god Dispater, and the source of the collapse of contuinity. As the fabric of time collapses itself around you, will you fall victim to the actions of the Mors, or will you save mankind itself?

 

 

THE STAHLWELT

 

Spoiler

The Stahlwelt is an incredible dome that reaches beyond the sky. Stories of how it was built varies, but the one truth regarding the structure is that it houses what remains of mankind, and has done so for thousands of years. The government of the Stahlwelt is broken down into eight separate districts, with a ruler that rules each of the eight districts. The leaders are incredibly territorial about their districts, but travel between districts in the Stahlwelt is incredibly lenient and simple, although the Stahlwelt is so huge that a trip around the entire dome would take several days on the fastest trains.

 

The dome itself appears to be much bigger than the size would suggest, as beneath the “ground” floor of the Stahlwelt lies a complex labyrinth known as the Steel Jungle: a wilderness in the darkness of the dome, it holds multiple mysteries of the Stahlwelt. The Steel Jungle is often explored in hopes of finding technology that may have disappeared during the construction of the Stahlwelt. Although it’s postulated that there may be “living” beings that dwell within the shadows of the Steel Jungle, the only known dangers are random discharges that are known as “storms”, which prove incredibly fatal to people without the proper equipment to defend themselves within the Steel Jungle, and toxic fumes that seem to have developed from the numerous gases that run through the pipes of the Stahlwelt.

 

The Stahlwelt is gigantic, with the top of the dome being impossible to see. In the center of the dome is a gigantic tower, where the energy source of the Stahlwelt appears to be located. It can be assumed that control of the machinery of the entire dome is located within the tower, but the Angels guarding the doors have prevented many from even searching for them.

 

The most important thing to note about the Stahlwelt is the dome is essentially sentient. It acts as if the creator of the dome had planned to trap mankind within the dome forever. As a result, the system within the dome is programmed to monitor the residents of the dome as if they were prisoners. The Stahlwelt has a self-imposed curfew that makes it difficult to move around during nighttime, as a mechanical army of smaller Angels, known as Watchers, would leave the gigantic tower once “night” has fallen to patrol the streets. There is a 16 hour day cycle and a 8 hour night cycle. The interior walls of the dome, through a bizarre algorithm, can re-create certain weather effects such as a “sunny” day. During the night cycle, all lights outside of lights found in buildings are shut off, and residents of the Stahlwelt are advised against traveling around the streets, lest they meet a gruesome end by the hands of a Watcher.

 

THE DISTRICTS

 

Spoiler

Sarkose is a group known especially for their strong focus in military affairs. It could be said that most of the men who live in this district are trained in school about ancient and modern tactics in warfare, as well as learning the various fighting techniques needed to survive on the battlefield. Their leader is known as the Empress of Fire, Julia, who holds the contract of Venus, the power to command an army of fire spirits.

 

Ryuusei is a district known especially for the flashy appearance of the buildings, as well as the fact the “streets” of the district is essentially a bunch of cables that are high above the buildings: this is due to the fact that Ryuusei is built incredibly close to the main entrance of the Steel Jungle, making it so that the floors of the district are essentially non-existent, replaced by a chasm and a canopy of iron where the buildings were built upon. As a result of their close proximity to the Steel Jungle, the Ryuusei are famous for being able to travel through the maze. The leader is known as the Minister of Steel, Tatsuro, who holds the contract of Mars, the power to manipulate iron in any shape and form.

 

Vulpos is a district that is unique, in that it is an empty field of sand, an artificial desert that houses a unique type of human: the beastados, humans who have been modified in an ancient experiment to better adapt to life in the Vulpos district. Their civilization is nomadic, traveling to numerous spots of the desert wilderness, hunting down the other genetically-engineered animals for a living. Their leader is Serena, the Chieftess of the Sands, who holds the contract of Saturn, the power to manipulate time itself.

 

Mirtre is a district that is incredibly metropolitan in design. It is a city of research, where technology and medicine make powerful advances over the year. The cure for cancer and AIDS was discovered here, although the treatment has been found to be incredibly expensive, as it was discovered through starlight. Despite appearances, Mirtre is known for its large gap between the rich and the poor. Their leader is Christian, the Kaiser of Water, who holds the contract of Neptune and can manipulate the element in all its form.

 

Yalin is an alliance of numerous groups that has come together to form a district. The people are well-known for their work in providing food for the entire dome, as their farming operations can singlehandedly sustain the entire Stahlwelt. Exotic in appearance, Yalin is presided over by a single ruler who was nominated to her role: Alexandra, the Queen of Winds, who holds the contract of Mercury, and commands the storm.

 

Corcoran is not a “district”, but rather a colony. Located all over the airspace of the Stahlwelt, a fleet of airships commands the fake skies of the dome. Corcoran are of the adventurous sorts, but it can also be seen as an asylum for the people who wished to escape from their old districts. As such, Corcoran has never had a person born into the fleet, except for the current leader, Drake, and his sister, Adelina, who both share the massive contract of Jupiter, the power to control gravity.

 

Xide is the largest district, but also one of the most important districts in terms of commerce, as Xide holds the largest market of trade within the entire dome. It can be said that if Xide were to collapse, the economical order of the Stahlwelt will fail completely. Much of the residents of Xide are merchants, who are constantly promoting their businesses and companies, as well as stock traders and business investors.

 

Kumshan is the criminal haven of the Stahlwelt. Everything regarding the fortress of criminals paints terror and crime. Much of Kumshan is ruled by numerous crime lords, and although Kumshan is a prison, the district is still recognized as its own group worthy of representation. Their leader is Arthur, the President of Thunder, who holds the contract of Earth, and commands the power of thunder.

 

 

THE STRINGS OF FATE

 

Spoiler

It has been rumored that in every person’s life, there is another soul that could be called the “destined one”. In essence, whether it be your worst enemy or your beloved significant other, there will be a person in your life that will be present, to usher you on with challenges and trials, as a foe or as a friend.

 

The Conduit recognizes the strengths of these Strings of Fate, and will notify the owner of any potential information or opportunities presented in the relationship shared between the person to his or her “destined one”.

 

Be wary of the Strings of Fate. The decisions you make because of your “destined one” can alter a lot of things, and perhaps lead to a conclusion you wished you never have reached.

 

 

CONTRACTS AND THE CONDUIT

 

Spoiler

Much research about the mysteries of the gigantic tower, coined as a collector of energy, is that much of the energy trapped within the tower itself is starlight, making it possible that otherworldly substance, known as Aether, is responsible of generating all the power found within the Stahlwelt.

 

Stars have an affinity for every human being who are born within the Stahlwelt, and due to unknown influences, people have been born with unusual powers, to the point where said “unusual powers” have become commonplace. A mark is born on the child that will disappear the moment they die. This mark indicates the star that has contracted itself with the child. Depending on the star, the strength of the contract and the resulting power will vary, but the general rule is that the closer the star is to the contracter, the more powerful the contract. As a result, the planets of the solar system can be considered the most powerful contracts, and generally, the rulers of each district hold power over such grand contracts.

 

The Conduit is a term referring to a “nexus” that can be accessed through special gloves worn on the non-dominant hand. Thanks to the influence of stars, certain talents appear on the human in question, talents that can be directly manipulated through regular human training and the Conduit. Popular talents have different costs, but known talents have appeared on the list included on the bottom of the section.

           

You level up talents by adding the same amount of points to "re-purchase" a talent, so a 10-point skill could be leveled up with another 10 points.

 

Custom skills can be made, but you have give a good enough description/comparison to a skill I made so that the points you choose to allocate in it actually match the level of power it has.

Name: Freyr Garland 

Age: 23

Gender: Male. Is it not obvious?

 

Occupation: Freelance Journalist / Explorer

Contract:

Namenloses Licht - "I am the brightest star in the night sky. The guiding light, the one true light. My name, you do not need to know. Follow my light. I shall grant you the power to overcome any shadow."

As the name implies, the existence known as the 'Nameless Light' is a being with the ability to illuminate a way through the one and only truth. Its light burns through illusions and falsifications, allowing Freyr to perceive nothing but the truth. The shadow it creates could be shaped into multiple types of weaponry: from sword to scythe; from spear to chained hook; from shield to hammer.

 

History:

Spoiler

Freyr is nothing but a regular denizen of Ryuusei District. A freelance journalist with the love of traveling, and nothing more. He is a curious man who believes that rules are meant to be broken, and a regular visitor to the steel jungle. Nothing is out of ordinary in his life. Well, except for his undying curiosity, maybe. Oh, and his amazing ability to adapt and improvise too, if that counts.

 

He is the type of person who would spend most of his waking hours traversing through the maze of steel in hopes of discovering new truths about what lies within the steel jungle, and his sleeping hours dreaming of the world beyond the dome. If not for his friends and colleagues stopping him, Freyr might have attempted to break through the Angel's and Watcher's defenses in order to see the world beyond the steel domes that he lives in. And died in the process too, most probably.

 

Call it a blessing, call it a misfortune. The simple fact is, both Freyr and his curiosity are both still very much alive. And they would still burn strong and bright, until he either die or has seen the outside world with his own two eyes. Needless to say, when the offer to join the Sun Brigade comes, he was among the first to heed the call. A new adventure awaits. A new world is waiting to be discovered. Freyr's journey starts here.

 

 

Skills:

• King of Knights [Level 1]

• Knight of Five Honors [Level 1]

• Concealment [Level 1]

• Speedster [Level 1] FREE

• Instinct [Level 1]

• Navigator [Level 1]

 

Weapon:

Lichtgestalt, The Shape of Light - A short decorative dagger small enough to be fit into one's sleeve. Under the effect of 'Namenloses Licht', it could transform to all sorts of weaponry (and even a shield). It, however, is unable to transform into weapons that require projectiles such as bows, guns, or flamethrower to name a few.

 

Inventory:

• Zippo - A simple lighter with metal body. Good old companion for a good old traveler.
• Pocket Watch - An ornamental pocket watch made of silver. Freyr dislikes digital watch, for some reasons. He claimed that this watch is way more accurate to her modern counterparts.
• PDA - Basically it's a smartphone sans the phone part. Even an old schooler such as Freyr needs a helping hand from the modern world at times!
• Explorer's Satchel - A must-have for explorers! Contains a 20 meter rope, 2 days worth of dried rations, a 2L waterskin, and some basic first aid kits (bandages, disinfectants, and painkillers)

[SOOOOOOON]

 

Name: Raven Crestwing

Age: 26

Gender: Male

 

Occupation: Freelance Scientist

Contract: 

Magnitude 6: Not every star in the night sky gives an affinity, but put them together... They'll do something. Magnitude 6 is a category of stars, the dimmest in the night sky. Raven's contract is a unique one, the combined energies of thousands of smaller stars creates his contract. This contract has two primary traits, complete darkness, and propagation. This allows him to not only dull light and cause complete darkness, but also dull all other senses, including sound, touch, and even the mind. The other trait propagation allows him to create clones, and sometimes empower his own attacks, but rather than making them stronger, he gives them a "consume" effect, allowing him to replace whatever he strikes with ethereal darkness, thus bypassing most defenses. A perfect kill from him would literally turn his opponents into pure shadow. Realistically speaking, he won't be able to do that very quickly without explosives, on the other hand it's like deleting material from someone, so slicing off an arm by removing what holds it together or making a puncture in a vital wound is better for him.

 

History: 

 

Raven was once part of the science community of Stahlwelt, but he left because he thought they were all very boring, always so structured, never trying to expand their horizons. So he became a freelance, doing his own thing, and keeping the possibility of it being forbidden under wraps. His early life was spent mostly behind a book with a toy gun in hand. He first started his scientific career in weapons, as such he is quite skilled with most of them, but most importantly, he's a very good shot with a gun. He never made himself distinctive in anything other than the sciences, and thus he was praised only by scientists, occasionally by others. He was an orphan, so people picked on him. Except... There were always multiple of him, during his middle school life. Yes, he had his contract since an early age, and over time he began to take more an more intrigue into contracts, and the forces that allow them to exist. This took form in his scientific career changing course to contracts a few years in the institute. However he found it to be very limited, restricted, things and areas that could answer many of the questions around contracts were forbidden. It was strange to him, why? So he took it upon himself to find out, and left the institute to not be bound by their rules. He attracted the attention of others however... And that is when the story begins for him.

 

For his life he lived in the Ryuusei district for most of it, the relatively normal lifestyle there and exposure to the sciences made it ideal for him. He has visited others except for that dreadful wasteland Vulpos and that cesspool known as Kumshan. He was moved to Sarkose during his weapons research, and moved to a higher priority facility in Sarkose when he changed to researching contracts. These abilities known as contracts were valueable, and while making them more effective was part of the research... No, the only part of the research, it was very boring for him. Knowing more about contracts was what he wanted, and they didn't seem to embrace that whatsoever. So he left, and wanders the Stahlwelt doing his own thing.

Name: Flano Mos Zhernys

Age: 26

Gender: Female

 

Occupation: Engineer/Scientist

Contract: Advent

A contract with the largest star near the heart of the milky way. The contract turns the bearer of the contract into a veritable power plant, providing an enormous supply of mana. However the amount that can be actually channeled depends on the actual conduit, or the body of the contractee. Usually the holder cannot access than a mere trickle of the energy available, otherwise the holders of this contract would be used to power the Dome instead. Flano uses this power to generally power her gear, allowing her to not rely on batteries and such 

 

History:

Flano was born to into a business family in Mirtre, owners of one of the many companies that actually run the labs and research in the city. A well known company known as Zhern Industries, which focused on research in the field of mechatronics and automated systems. The Zhernys had slew of profitable patents, including a line of Surgical robots, several defense systems, general purpose A.I’s etc, whose production they outsourced to external manufacturing companies. Although being so dependant on the research and development produced by the company, the family's general outlook to this was merely that of a means to an end; the end being turning a profit. However this had not always been the case in fact the founder of the family and the company itself Gwynfor Mos Zhernys had been a Scientist passionate in his craft, he had been a legend even in his own times, who made tremendous strides in his field as he delved deeper into his research. However somewhere down the line of successors, the Mos Zhernys family lost sight of the passion of discovery that had captivated the family for so long. The current generation was more interested in the matters of high society and money, with family ‘prestige’ and the depth of their coffers.

 

In away it was a good thing that Flano was the youngest in her generation, she was never payed much attention being a thought of as an extra. However what they did not know was that little girl had inherited the founders passion for discovery. She refused to follow the expectations laid upon her, being a young lady of high society, the daughter of the Prestigious Mos Zhernys. Instead of going for balls, and courting young men, she dove into her studies. She would take time to visit the labs, seeing the research of the Zhernys industries for herself. Again being the youngest helped a large amount in this aspect, as she was largely left to her own devices. Eventually she would find the need to distance herself from her family, it was good for both sides as neither could understand each other. She set up the Vajra Compound a subsidiary company of  Zhern Industries whose sole employee was Flano. Here she would delve deeper into her chosen fields of study primarily AI, Robotics,  Energy& Mana Dynamics. She became well known for her work in the harmonious integration of  Magic with Science. One of her discoveries being storage cards, paper thin sheets of a unique material, in which Items can stored and is powered merely by the application of Mana. Another being the development of a high power processor for an AI, which used a hard light matrices stabilized with the application of a rune field. It is during this time that she also participated in project UMA, bringing what was thought to be a lost cause back to its true glory. Only later would she discover that her work their had been far more successful than she could have imagined.

 

For a while this arrangement between her family and Flano went along fine, until of course the family had found a newfound need of her, Essentially the Mos Zhernys were working on a merger with another old business family the La Viggo, who mainly operated in the manufacturing sector. The merger between the two companies would drastically streamline the development to manufacturing process and veritably multiply both their coffers. However to seal the deal the La Viggo asked for the hand of one of the daughters of the Mos Zhernys, as a way to seal the deal with blood. This was the norm in the workings of these old families, and the Mos Zhernys had done the same with their sons and daughters with other families. However now there weren't anymore daughters of marriageable age except of Flano. Still the family knew that it wouldn't be easy at all to make Flano do what they wished of her, Flano being far too brazen ,wild not to mention free spirited. In fact they knew that she wouldn’t even come if they called her for a meeting. So they concocted a clever ploy, closing down the Vajra Compound, shifting all the defense contracts it held to Zhernys Industries, effectively shutting Flano out of her own lab. This had the desired effect and a fuming Flano blasted through the front door with two high energy cannon drones, effectively scorching the highly expensive Paroni Rug behind, one day after. After finally cooling Flano down, the situation was explained to her. Her company and funding was being held captive, in return for agreeing to marry the young Duke La Viggo, she would get them back. Flano replied with a rude gesture and telling them that the family go stick it. Then Flano followed to blast a hole through the third story wall, and leave with the help of a automatic helicopter driven by her own personal AI.

 

Still without access to her company or her funding, she wa s in  quite the pickle. All though she had a substantial bank account, and a slew of patents, without the backing of the Zhern Industry, it would be near impossible to get the level of funding she required to continue her work. Luckily it was at this moment that she noticed a Flyer for the Sun Brigade, “well “ Flano thought “this might be fun”

That's not a question, L. Of course we have firearms. I would never in my right mind equip robots with only swords.

Seeing as how Fay's the only one with a finished CS...
 

ACCEPTED!

I present to you, the destined one you should watch out for~

Spoiler

Morgan Ward is your lovable friend, an admirer of your work who constantly follows you around. Of course, you never let Morgan near the Steel Jungle, and constantly tell the fifteen-year old freshman to actually go to school, a local high school located near the top of the Ryuusei district. With good looks, a graceful personality, and a charm that may or may not come from the mystery of what's under Morgan's skirt, this teenager is quite popular amongst both guys and girls.

Oh, but Morgan's a guy. Just sayin'.

Need to add a few more bits and it will be ready.

 

Spoiler

Name: G.A.B.Y - Android #667

Age: 4

Gender: (Can be thought off as human female.)

 

Occupation: Student

Contract: Demeter; Ability to bend various elements to her will.

 

History: Android - 667 or G.A.B.Y [Generon Android of Biological Yield] was crafted in a lab in the technologically superior district of Mirtre. It was a pilot project to develop the next gen of soldiers and defenders. While ‘Angels’ and ‘Watchers’ were beings outside the control of the survivors. This project aimed on reinforcing the big district with its own batch of defenders. On that note G.A.B.Y or (Gabie) was conceived after a series of failures. It signifies Genron’s contribution in the Mirtre local scene. The company gained a lot of rep over its successful execution of the plan put forth by the council quite a while ago.

 

 

After trials to make a fully functional evolving type of robot failed. It was decided that human biological strain will be used in crafting the next batch. Failing for consecutively 216 times, the scientists finally succeeded with Android 667, having human strains from 5 donors having relative mastery in their respective fields. It was planned that it would be enrolled with the usual training programme used by  military and then after full training it would be deployed on-field. Through the years the android changed and adapted, changing from being ‘it’ to ‘she’ and also becoming a powerful magus with a lot of potential to become even better. As of recent reports, Gabie can manipulate all the five elements with decent ability in each.    

 

Skills: Average One - Lvl.1 [12]

Magecraft - Lvl.1 [5]

High Speed Aria - Lvl.1 [Free]

Arms of Conduit - Lvl.1 [6]

Magical Circuit Endowment - Lvl.1 [6]

Remaining Points: 1

Weapon: Focussing Staff - Gaia.

 

Inventory: Kryptonium-Radium Batteries (replacement core), Charging cable.

 

Theme: Ghost in a Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Be Human.

 

Relationships: 

 

Flano Mos Zhernys: Flano is simply put Gaby's messiah, after consecutive failures it was thought that the project should be terminated In Vitro and further research should be stopped in time to save some face. Zhern Industries had already taken off their special support when the experiment seemed unprofitable and still far from completion. Enter Flano Mos, the heiress who inherited the true will of their family's founder, his insatiable thirst for something new. It was her efforts that transformed and lay the foundation for Human strain incorporation into AI system of the androids under development. The evolving AI or Project UMA as it was termed by her. It was implanted into G.A.B.Y and things turned for the better for the first time in a decade long quest and Android 667 was 'born'. Although her involvement and interation has reduced since Gaby's deployment. But, as if humanized, Gaby had kept apart a special frequency accessible by Flano into her systems. So if Flano ever finds herself in a pinch there is one backup that will necessarily show up: G.A.B.Y.

[Führer Itulhu]

one of the ideas for Rakui i came up with

Spoiler

 

Name: Rakui

Age: ?? (a year since he awakened)

Gender: Male

 

Occupation: Bum

Contract: The formless star-

The star that is seemingly always on the verge of disappearing from the star ocean, it is visible at some times and others it is enveloped in nothingness as it seems as if it isn't even there, sometimes it is a large star sometimes it is a small star. It is said the star is ever changing and has no true form, and the same can be said for the power granted by it.

Is it there or isn’t it there? is it real or is it an illusion? it basicly grants something on the category of illusions but a step above mere illusions, do not think closing your eyes or learning it is an illusion based attack as it will not stop the ever changing attack.

 

History:

Where am I? Who am I? what is my name? oh it’s Rakui huh, is it really? why is that my name? do i have a last name? no…..Why? why do i have no memories of this world?

 

Rakui woke up one morning with no knowledge of who he was or where he was from, all he had within his memories was the name Rakui, but was it even his name, or was it even a name at all?

Rakui was lost with nowhere to go, he had no meaning to his life and he had no feeling towards anything he saw. What could this man who had nothing do in this world, a world so confined yet full of so many secrets, there was only one thing he could do, wonder the confined steel world hoping for a small chance that he could find a meaning to life. But was that really what Rakui was after? or was he after something else…. like a way to escape himself?

 

With every day he walked, with every day he ate, with every day he slept Rakui could feel something creeping into his mind, he could feel something trying to fill his empty memories with something inhumane, he does not know what creeps into his mind, could it be his star or could it be Rakui himself.

As it creeped into his mind the lost man learnt something about himself, he knew how to kill, it was imprinted into his body how to kill. Why do I know how to kill? for who should i kill for?

questions, questions, questions everywhere inside Rakui’s head, can he ever find the answers or will the thing within his mind devour him first, or will something else get to him as he has found the conclusion that joining the sun brigade will bring answers.

 

there is only 2 certainties about Rakui,

he is lost.

he is a loyal knight with no one to be loyal to.

 

Skills:

Reality Marble [lv 1]

Awareness [lv 1] free

Weapon:

@L

Pure Eyes are basically eyes that can "see the world as it is". So, you can see through illusions naturally and the such, as an example. Incredibly useful against more magic-oriented foes, but it's a pretty niche skill.

@Jod

Deck Storage is basically a Sylladex, so 2 points would be fine. Technology is probably 2 points as well. You can't name the star Conduit. =)


@Itano

You're going to have to make the strength of your illusion contract more clear. I don't know if we're talking ethereal copies of yourself or shadow clones.
