The year is 5052 A.D, Day of Eden, Falsmonth 3rd, 9:30 pm. Three hundred years ago, on this very day, Humanity met spear-to-spear with a galactic force of evil we now know as the Maelstrom. We have commissioned an army of Machines to combat this threat, and so far things have gone well. But the Maelstrom grows more powerful by the week, TeleGov is corrupting as we speak, and the planet's biosphere is collapsing. Until the Explorers find a new habitable world, we will die, and the Maelstrom will win. But... there is a chance, I think, that the Defenders may defeat this threat before it reaches out doorstep, and that is all I can hope for.

In 5052, the Maelstrom unleashed the first attack in over two hundred years. The attack was devastating, bringing many of the planets largest nations to their knees and leaving the entire planet in utter chaos for entire months. On this degenerating Earth, there are few resources and no one is sure how long they can hold out before the entire planet risks annihilation and the extinction of the entire species.
You are a Defender or one of the many adventurous human explorers, setting out to not only find the Maelstrom homeworld, but to defend your planet from the looming threat of destruction. The entire Galaxy is your playground.
Basically, there will be main plot posts that will guide the story, but it is up to you how your character responds and acts, whether it is against the good of the people, or for the good of the planet. It is a sandbox with a loose story that will eventually tie together into a continuation. You will control one or two characters: Either a Defender and its human counterpart, or a regular human doing whatever he or she wishes.
This is Arc One.
Stealth-oriented Defenders. They are designed for tracking criminals, Maelstrom Renegades, and are the only Defenders capable of taking on steal missions. They are called such due to their tracking insect-like antennas. They often stand at eight feet tall, with blue or green coloring and kyratanite skeletons. Their moulds come in both male and female varieties. They often wield plasma blades and energy pistols, as well as cloaking devices.

The Angels are aerial Defenders, focused on taking down whatever threatens the surface. They wield enormous plasma based spears and are among the physically strongest of the Defenders, even in the sky where their wings must carry them. They stand at eight feet tall and come in light crystal blue and white with kyratanite skeletons. Their moulds are ambiguous.
The Rogues are the most talented on the planet, and should enemies escape through the barrier of Angels, these are the guys to handle it. They exhibit "magical" abilities, such as draining energy, supercharging their scythes and other weapons, and plasma manipulation. There are very few Rogues left, and some are physiologically more human than others.
The Explorers were originally built to withstand the pressures of underwater, and existed long before the Defenders came into being. Now, they swim through the void of space, searching for a new home for their human creators. They are not built for battle, thus lack in strength or weapons, but they are also the only ones who can explore space on their own. Their moulds are ambiguous, and their skeletons are made of light steel.
Earth is a technological powerhouse, full of luxury and entertainment. Every year, a new Defender is commissioned and paired with their human, every year two million people take a quick visit to Pluto for their children's science field trips. Life has been extended by two hundred cycles. Any disease can be cured, all freedoms are assured.
The Earth is governed by TeleGov, a council of three hundred. These are noble men and women who have led Earth into prosperity, even against the Maelstrom, and they continue to do their jobs for the good of the people.
The Maelstrom, however, does not let comfort blossom. It is a chaotic force for evil, known only by the destructive black discs that fly through the air at night, causing havoc should they get too close to the surface. It is a malevolent force to be reckoned with. It showed up two hundred years prior to the current date, and yet scientists still can't discern just what it is.

- Standard Iwaku rules apply here. Follow them to the letter here as you would anywhere else.
- Goddmodding, killing another player without their permission, or powerplaying is not allowed. You control your character, and yours alone.
- Decent grammar is expected, and at least two paragraphs are required to count as part of narrative.
- Interact! Especially with people who seem like they're being ignored. You can have more than one interaction going at a time.
- Swearing is okay, but please keep it PG-13.
- On that note, gore is alright as well, but considering these are machines, you'll probably have to be creative. Or bloody up your human character. It's up to you.
- Each plot post must be recognized in some way or another. While you are free to develop as you see fit, you are also part of a story here.
- Harassing other players, being a general nuisance, or bringing OOC drama to the thread will get you kicked.
