Futuristic Realm Takers

[FearItself]

Set in the year 2172 mere decades after a massive war nearly destroyed the globe. Natural Resources ran dry in 2140 causing the world to gather its remaining stockpiles and put them inti their respective war machines. Everyone began to wage gruesome warfare for the worlds remaining coal and oil reserves, nuclear power and various other alternatives were suggested but none could fuel the demand mankind had built up. 20 years into the war almost a quarter of the worlds population had died. However a brilliant or diabolical genius "solved" the problem. Massive reserves of resources existed within other universes, and with the right technology we could access it. Just like that humanity became transdimensional invaders.

A new Organization was built akin to nato, Called "The Heavens". Their purpose was to direct the world armies against the other dimension they were pillaging. Then distribute the resources according to the resources given into the effort. Your role is that of a military soldier between the ranks of Private (lowest) & Captain (Highest.) You have been hand picked out of your nations military to be sent into "heavens host" the army of realm conquering badasses who are saving the earth. After 4 additional years of training within the Host you are now gearing up for your first tour in the realm humanity has taken to calling "Limbo." You have been breifed on what to expect and it isnt pretty.

The planet of limbo is located in another universe and has an entirely toxic atmosphere. Sharp rock formations, rough winds, and high temperatures make it seem as if it should be inhospitable...it is not. A wide range of dangerous aliens exist in this planet, the deadliest of them being the native dominant population called the Wraiths. They are fast moving long limbed creatures who weild primitive weapons, communicate with one another, have excellent tactics, and are seemingly able to turn invisible. Not to mention they are horrible to witness. Normally our weapons and armor would be enough to overcome them but their weapons can penetrate our armor and suits. And it takes less than three breaths to kill you from this atmosphere. Can you survive your Tour in "Limbo?" Or will you be claimed by the deadly world.​

If you have any questions let me know. Ill start the threads when we have at leadt 6 interest tags.

 

[CkSmalling]

Very much interested in this

 

[FearItself]

Interested. And ... we would be the doomslayers of some sort...

Yes in a sense. We claim their realm and set up outposts to mine natural resources. Anything that gets in the way of this is officially signing up to be a threat to humanity.

The Cost & Ecto

Nothing this good comes for free, there is a high price to pay for these resources and the wars of old pale in comparison to the horrors humanity have witness and commited in the name of this sacred quest of theirs. Its easy to forget your humanity when you arent dealing with humans. However that is only one aspect of this battles toll. Even though our armor shields us from the toxic environment it does little to protect us from the radiation which actually decays the mind, memories, and sanity. Due to this soldiers are required to take 1 week of leave for every 3 weeks of services. Even still the radiation is not the most dangerous threat. There is a force within limbo that keeps soldiers coming back again and again no matter how dangerous. That force is Ecto. When a soldier kills any creature in limbo bits of a strange material called ecto flood into their body. This same process is how the denizens of this world feed, however for humans Ecto has a wide range of uses, it can be extracted and stored in canisters. When distilled it can take three forms. White Ecto which is like a thick viscous liquid that can be applied to wounds to heal them. Next is Red Ecto which amplifies the strength, speed, reflexes, durability,and Stamina of the user by more than double their normal rate. Last is green Ecto which can be applied to weapons and armor to augment them with additional energy output allowing them to deal massive damage.

In its raw form Ecto provides a general unilateral bonus to the soldier who absorbs its stats, but it also amplifies aggression, violence, and anger. Hense why it is regularly extracted and synthesized into the three versions of Ecto. scientists stationed at the Limbo research facility are confident that they can make different forms of ecto if they are supplied with enough of it. Needless to say the more powerful a creature or being, the more Ecto they produce upon their defeat.​
