Backstory
Tan was a ten year veteran of the United Systems Military SpecOps corps before a career ending injury took him from the front lines at the battle of Berlin. After DEROS and rehabilitation, he accepted a position at Alpire Corp., the company whose lifesaving neural interface and spinal prosthesis allowed him to walk again. In truth, this was Indentured servitude, as the implants were so costly, Tan would have spent three lifetimes paying the company back for their tech. instead, he signed on to be a test-bed for their technology and in turn, they were free to utilize their gene-splicing and cutting edge nanotech to create the next generation soldier in him. This was all before Genesis, when the overarching thought of Alpire was that Humankind's future was in the Domes, or in offworld colonies. After the anomaly, and Project Genesis, it became prudent for one of the four biggest corporations on Earth to secure a place for one of theirs on the Humanity Preservation Council. All legally, of course. While some at Alpire were unsure of the veracity of Genesis, it was a possibility too good to ignore. Making Jon Tan the perfect genetic and physical specimen for the project was a simple enough matter. It was almost like his time at Alpire had been perfectly timed to the anomaly.

@deegee

Ooo, a "super soldier" :) Love it. Welcome!

Project Genesis: A New Beginning

Dante's good with a knife? He could be cook!

@Ducksworth

You're hired! The group will let Dante go first when it comes to killing and skinning the meals.

Project Genesis: A New Beginning

Seems like it'll be a nice mix with an Engineer, Criminal, Medic, and Soldier.

We need a cook! But it's got to be someone who understands how to prepare ancient creatures XD

and happily posted MC :)

@Zoie Hart

Love her!

Also, I do find it funny that all the character pics so far progress from a sketch drawing to photorealistic.

Project Genesis: A New Beginning

Adeline TreVayne | Security Officer

---

Name: Adeline “Adi” TreVayne
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Occupation: Aerial Dome Security & Private Protection

Personality Traits: Honest | Disciplined | Loyal | Pragmatic | Resilient

Personality Description: Adi carries herself with quiet professionalism that commands respect without seeking attention. She’s loyal to her friends and coworkers, and values trust and camaraderie deeply, though her blunt honesty and guarded nature sometimes put distance between her and others. Beneath her composed exterior lies a sharp edge of resentment toward the elite and a longing to define herself outside of her family’s shadow.

Background:
Adeline TreVayne was born into privilege as the only child of two highly successful parents. Her mother worked in finance and her father was an engineer. Much like their work life, their home life was structured and pristine, as they wouldn’t have it any other way. While their daughter’s needs were always met, affection was rare. Her parents approached raising her like an equation more than a child who needed nurturing. She learned early that warmth would not be found in their words or gestures, only expectations, as childhood became a cycle of lessons, evaluations, and silent meals. Over time, she grew resentful, but she also internalized discipline and routine as a way of survival and simply learned to build walls.

As time passed, she excelled in academics and physical conditioning, not because she loved them, but because excellence was the only way to avoid criticism. When she came of age, Adeline enlisted in the aerial dome’s Security Division, as it was the only way to create distance between herself and her parents.

To them, it was an odd choice, but to her, it was freedom.

The training was rigorous, but she thrived under it. For the first time in her life, her efforts were recognized not as an extension of her parents’ prestige, but as her own. She built her identity through endurance drills, weapon handling, and guard rotations. However, her least favorite assignment had been escort and protection duty for high-ranking officials during events or travel. Standing at the side of the very elite class of people she had come to despise. However, she learned to keep her opinions sealed behind a professional mask, because it was always the job that came first and she was seen as an honest and tireless worker. Off duty, she would join her peers for drinks, and her dry humor and sarcasm really only surfaced in trusted company.

With all these things considered though, her flaws followed no matter what. She had little patience for arrogance, struggled with blind obedience, and occasionally clashed with superiors when she believed lives were at risk. There were moments she felt at odds with everyone, but continued to endure and persist over the years.

Her life took a sharp turn when Project Genesis began its search and Adi became an obvious candidate. While her family’s genetics and influence mostly likely was a benefit to her through the eyes of the Council, her body had been honed over years of service, and her adaptability in high-stress conditions made her invaluable. The Council likely viewed her as a stabilizing element among the chosen, someone who could keep order in the dangerous unknown. For Adi, being selected was not another assignment, but rather an escape. She saw the temporal doorway not as a duty imposed on her, but as a chance to step away from the suffocating structures of the aerial domes and its people.

She only hoped she was making the right choice…

Project Genesis: A New Beginning

@Zoie Hart, here's my CS. I decided on a security officer.

I wasn't sure what the actual name of the "aerial domes" were called, but she is part of their security division, until selected to leave for the portal. More than likely she'll be asked to help maintain law and order wherever they end up.

Hey there! Saw your Int Check thread, and this definitely looks like it could be a great story. I have a "medic" character concept that I'd like to work on for this.

So, what is the general timeline from when the earth went to hell, and the selection process began for those traveling through the temporal doorway? Is the game starting off after everyone has gone through the doorway? If so, how long since?

I'm having a rather though time due to some circumstances in my life. Currently very busy with clearing out a house that needs to be empty by the 3rd. I'm swamped in work until then. After the 3rd things will have quieted down for me.

@Milkman

Hope everything is going well on your end. Check in and let us know what's up :)
