Invasion: The Fight for Survival!


From the Stars, They Come


In the year 2014, radio signals broadcast from Earth were intercepted by a fleet of extraterrestrial entities currently moving through deep space. Tracking these signals they turned to the Solar System, and eventually our Earth. It was in 2017 that these ships first entered our Solar System, using their technology to traverse the vastness of space at speeds as of yet undreamed of by human engineering. But it was not diplomats or scientists who were deployed to Earth on that day, and it was not gifts of science or language that they brought. The aliens had but one goal in coming here...

Conquest!

Exiting an interplanetary alien civilisation after a brutal civil war the Devourer, a Thorathian heavy battlecruiser, leads a small fleet of refugees and deserters to Earth. Hunted down by the government they rejected after losing a conflict, Lord General Sho'Vah leads his few remaining people to new hope. With few resources at their disposal and little to no remaining food, they're forced into a sudden war for survival with a numerically far greater if technologically inferior force. Having examined the radio signals of Earth and knowing humans to be a warlike species, Sho'Vah refused to accept the risks of attempted cohabitation. While not entirely unsympathetic to human life he knew that their existence could only be continued under his rule, in order to ensure the survival of his people. Even now he deploys strike forces around the globe in order to establish bases, gather resources and prepare for all-out conflict.

It is not the defending human heroes that we shall represent in this war. But rather you shall step into the skin of these desperate but aggressive aliens, and attempt to conquer the strange world of Earth. Today you will fight for the survival of your people, even as your opponents will fight for their own continued existence. And even as you struggle for dominion the Imperial forces of the Council seek to eliminate these escaped insurgents. Without full access to the resources Earth offers, even the tactical firepower of the Devourer cannot save you from the wrath of the Council, and their practically endless fleets.

It's all or nothing, and the clock is ticking. Who will live, and who will die? And who will inherit the Earth?

Name: Skaraz the Sleepless

Age: Approximately 60 million years

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Note: Often clad in a dark cloak to hide his outlandish appearance.

Bio:
Once a general in the great Necrontyr Empire, Skaraz was turned into living metal during the biotransferance. He lead armies into battle first against the Old Ones, and then against the Star Gods who had dared betray the Necrontyr. But when the War in Heaven drew to a close and the Silent King ordered his undying legions into sleep, Skaraz could not comply. Unknown to him, damage suffered during the War would cause his slumber to be interrupted, ejected from the dreamless sleep after but a dozen million years had passed. With no way to rejoin his kin in sleep Skaraz instead wandered the universe, waiting for the day that his people would awaken from their slumber and once more dominate the stars.

Unfortunately, time was not kind to the once great general. Millions of years of solitude combined with the errors in his circuitry have robbed him of his memories. Knowledge of his great conquests and purpose have eroded with the ages, leaving him a purposeless wanderer of the stars. Cherished memories and ingrained knowledge, too important to be surrendered to amnesia, form the bastions of his world. His name, his skills, and the ancient Necrontyr code of honour. Since then he has had untold adventures across the galaxy, as his interference in the affairs of primitive worlds would forever leave it's mark on their history. And although he has forgotten most of these tales, millions of years of experience yet remain within his mind.

Powers/Abilities:
[Necron Physiology]
As a Necron Overlord, Skaraz possesses a powerful body made from Necrodermis. This form was crafted by the Gods for the sole purpose of war, and it performs this task with terrifying efficiency. Eldritch mechanisms grant him vastly superhuman strength and speed, as well as seemingly lightning-fast reflexes. Layers of Necrodermis plating also provide excellent protection, allowing him to shrug off attacks that would rip apart lesser foes. As if this wasn't enough the unique properties of the 'living metal' allow Necrodermis to automatically detect and repair damage at a great pace. Within a matter of seconds a detached limb can reattach itself, or a destroyed one can recreate itself entirely. Even if a vital system is destroyed it will simply be recreated over the course of a few minutes, often granting Skaraz the illusion of true immortality. The only way to truly permanently kill him is to destroy the majority of his physical mass, damage which even his regeneration cannot fix.

[Weapons of War]
Skaraz is equipped as befits a Necron of his status and achievements. This includes his personal weapon, a mighty masterwork Warscythe. The blade of this mighty weapon phases in and out of reality, slicing between the atoms of enemy armour and annihilating the atomic bonds that keep it together. Additionally he is equipped with a variety of equipment to improve his combat potential. The Chronometron has various uses, allowing Skaraz to glimpse the future and react to attacks before they occur. A Shadow Ankh projects a Null Field around him that negates or weakens psionic powers of any kind. Lastly a Phase Shifter allows him to shift partially out of this reality, which can be employed to effectively become incorporeal.

Weaknesses:
- All Necron are particularly vulnerable to Soul-based magic (including lifeforce-based abilities such as the Force or Ki).
- Works according to a strict code of honour.
- Slightly insane.
Sorry for my disappearance, I had a rp session irl to deal with.
- Gabriel, 'Blood Compact' -



Silently Gabriel observed as his impudent spawn monologued. At some point he was going to need to make a rule on that. No monologues until you're at least 1000 years old. That was a solid age to start. Regardless it seemed that Mithias believed this matter to be of the utmost importance, so Gabriel deigned to listen to his concerns. The boy certainly seemed different, as befitting his period of absence and the nature of his travels. But despite all the changes he had yet failed to gain a sense of humour, nor the indifferent attitude befitting of an immortal. Every little thing was 'the end of the world', and every apocalypse was to be taken seriously. Sometimes Gabriel wondered if Mithias smiled when he wasn't looking, because there was no way anyone could keep up that level of concern, that level of care, and not go completely bonkers. On the other hand, what was wrong with bonkers?

Sighing, the self-proclaimed god dragged his mind back to Mithias' little speech. "So you're telling me aliens from another dimension are going to invade in order to conquer the world?" For a solid ten seconds Gabriel just stared at his wayward son over the rim of his black-tinted glasses, thin eyebrows raised. It wasn't a silence that invited answers, and Gabriel used it to savour, momentarily, his wayward son's frustrations. Of course Gabriel believed him, Mithias didn't have a dishonest bone in his body. A damn shame, but that's just the way things were. Didn't need mind reading to tell that, at the very least, Mithias truly believed this. But there weren't enough awkward silences in the world, and Gabriel was on a mission to remedy that issue.

"Seems to me like you're bending over backwards for an alien. Tut tut. That's hardly the behaviour I expected of you. Well, that's not true, but it's not the behaviour I'd like to encourage." Gabriel snapped his fingers, and chaos erupted on the beach. Vampires burst from the sands and fed on the human tourists, who simply stood there obediently. But the vampires weren't simply feeding, they were turning each and every one of these random humans. Men, women, children, within moments there was not a single human on the beach. "See, I've been around for a long time. I've seen empires rise and fall. Dictatorships intent on conquering you 'for the greater good' very rarely deliver on their promises. And even if they did, where's the fun in that? No, that wouldn't be interesting at all." Small groups of vampires rushed out of the building, handing out weapons and armour to the assembled newbloods. The newbloods equipped themselves rapidly, a beautiful sight to behold. From the chaos and frivolity of mortal distraction emerged a formidable fighting force, a vampiric army armed to the teeth with the cutting edge of technology. "Regardless, I've been looking for something to get invested in for a while now. Gabriel, Dark Lord of Vampires, Saiour of the World. Has a nice ring to it, no? Oh, and you're grounded." Gabriel's luminescent grin dimmed momentarily into a caricature of a concerned glance. "I will not have and giving up in my household. So you're grounded for the next couple of days, until you learn to act like a proper vampire lord. Also smile. No phones, no playdates, no brooding."

With this final message Gabriel turned rapidly away, convinced he had done his proper parenting job. "There's orphan blood and a cold pizza in the freezer, and you're free to abuse the minibar. But if you break anything when I get back, no pocket money for a MONTH. You hear me?" Still grinning the immortal marched off towards his private airfield even as behind him his private army geared up. He had 36 hours to get everything ready, and he was planning one hell of a surprise party.

@Tyki
Your characters most definitely have an effect. In fact, it's practically the only thing that will cause the story to evolve/change. Without input from the characters, very little will occur.

If you're in doubt about your characters' ability to change the plot, however, feel free to propose ideas. Either in the OOC chat or via PM.
@jeroukoo
Make an opening post describing your character, and their location within their world. Then Travis, the Silent King, Oswald, or one of the other players can intervene. Probably by popping into your world.

Alternatively you could have your character suddenly appearing in another character's world, and doing stuff there. It's up to you.
