The year is 2213. The age of space exploration is coming to an end as much of the galaxy has been mapped out and settled. Is there life among the stars? Much to the dismay of Extraterrestrial enthusiasts, mankind alone in this universe. Earth is no longer the capitol planet in the galactic imperium of man. The planet has vastly recovered from its crippling pollution levels, and much of the population has left in pursuit of greater planets. As a consequence, earth has been predesignated predesignated as a colonial planet of little interest, too small to sustain a massive population and too fragile to operate as a space port. Transmission from the outside worlds slowed to a crawl and, after so many years, finally fell silent. Earth has become an antiquated, self-sustaining fringe-colony. The only way to reach other planets is by quantum shuttle, an expensive venture that the mock-government keeps a tight leash on. After years of being confined, it was apparent that Mankind had forsaken earth, leaving an authoritarian power in place to rule over the people and prevent all but a privileged few leave.
It is on this forgotten planet where our story begins.
A cold night, extraordinary in every way, yet unprecedented in the history of our universe. The Dual Gods arrive in the dead of night. They come to live as we do, gathering information about our society. Their mission: to judge humankind as worthy, or destroy them all...

History: Icarus is a half of a weapon designed to judge species of sentient life as worthy of becoming a part of an empire that spans multiple universes. He and his counterpart Arrive on a planet on opposite ends via atmospheric invasion (they fall from space ) and take the form of the life they were sent to judge.
For the sake of simple explanation, we will use humans as an example. The entities arrive here on earth in remote areas where there is a human to encounter. Their original form is able to shroud itself from detection.
Once the human comes to investigate the sight of their crash-landing, they instantaneously read the brainwaves of that person's mind. All knowledge, conscious and subconscious, is instantly known. They take an assortment of data, randomly chosen pieces of history, and an appearance and essentially become someone of our culture. They have a name and a background. Once the personality is created and a physical form manifested, all other data is deleted.
Victor Alexander, upon assuming his identity, became a vigilante fighter in the city where he was discovered, taking on the name "Icarus" as a pseudonym.
Once the weapon has taken form, it forgets its purpose, and must rediscover it's design by decoding dreams implanted by their creators.
Weapons: While not originally a weapon, Icarus arrived on earth with a "key". Also lacking a permanent form. This key is instrumental in activating the other half of the weapon-pair. Icarus's key takes the form of twin daggers. He also carries a pistol.
