Futuristic The Enigma Questions: Characters, Factions, and Races

[Zaltusinel]

Hello! Welcome to the Enigma Questions! This is our character and faction thread. Places, unique technologies, and others that are detailed enough to stand alone should go to our other thread. For organizational purposes only, this is to help keep things organized on my end! So in this thread, players will update, note, and construct assets of their characters. These could be personality, loyalty, achievements, etc. The sheet will be listed below, however, I always encourage going beyond the sheet. BBcode is allowed and I'd love to see the amazing designs that are made! If you make multiple characters, they should be listed together. One faction per player, please. If this is not an issue, then it can be expanded upon. You are not required to make a faction or a race. Build as many characters you see fit for your abilities in a very detailed setting. Side characters and various smaller entities meant for smaller things such as local businesses or acquaintances are perfectly fine to be created! Leave them at the bottom of your more developed main entities.

In the Enigma Questions, there are a variety of roles a player may pursue with their characters. However, a science team is required for the core of the roleplay. Once this is filled, the table is open to anything as long as it connects decently with the roleplay. This is so players don't make characters that have a hard time filling a role and thus more of a preventive measure from players wasting their amazing talent!

For prospective players, post here and tag me once you complete the sheet. If you have any questions let me know!

Backstory: Marius was born into a military family, like most in the Military Republic of Lunari. From the day he could speak, he was taught that Duty before self was what it meant to be as a citizen. Growing up, he like many children in the Republic strove to be like their parents. To do their part and serve the republic and her people. When he was sixteen, he was inducted into the Lunari Primus Cadets or so commonly referred to as the Young Bloods. From there on, his service to the republic began. When he graduated from Emerald Springs Military Youth Academy at 22, he signed on to be a Fallschirmjäger. For sixty years he rose through the ranks, putting down rebellions and invading forces. He was among the first to set foot on one of the human colonies during the First Contact war, where he truly distinguished himself as a soldier. At the time he was a Major, in charge of an elite unit of Fallschirmjäger. When the war ended, he was further promoted to Lt. Colonel , where he volunteer to be part of an experimental super soldier program called "Project Gottestöter". Sixteen months of genetic modification and surgeries. Sixteen months of agony. In the end, he had become a demigod among mortals. Bigger, Stronger, Faster, Even smarter; the project was a complete success.

For the 30 years he has served taking out threats to the Alliance and the replublic, sent on what most would consider a suicide mission, and return successful.


Likes: Xenos, Playing with guns, Exploring new worlds, Illustratian cigars and Brandy, the color red


Dislikes: Genocide, Slavery, Tyrannical governments, prohibition, the color purple, and Xenophobes

Weapons:

• Red Aethrian plated Auto-blade: The Illustrati Auto-blade is a favorite among shock troops and high ranking officials due to it's sheer brutality and messieness as a weapon. While technically not a blade, the weapon is a motorized saw that has a chain covered in blue aetherian teeth with a red aetherian plating the burn through it's victims as it tears through armor and flesh with ease.

• GSM-40 ARC: The standard service rifle of the Lunari Republic Armed Forces, the GSM-40 Automatic Rail Carbine, fires .60mm rods at 1000 rounds/minute. Fitted with a bayonet measuring at 18 inches (45.72cm), with a mono molecular edge, the weapon preforms exceptionally at both short to mid range, along with CQC. Each Magazine holds around 60 rounds, and has a select fire system along with a integrated ammo counter and uplinks to the users targeting system. Being nicknamed the grinder, the weapon shreds body armour and flesh like wet tissue paper.

• DT-98 Defoliant projector: Nicknamed the Devil's Tongue, this weapon is a stardard chemical flamethrower, which projects and ignites a stream of a volatile, semi-liquid fuel. A variety of mixtures have been created to work in various atmospheric and gravitational conditions, but they all work similarly to fry just about anything. Unlike it's defunct predecessor, which required a large tank to be strapped to the user's back, the Devil's Tongue uses much smaller tanks that are simply screwed into the weapon, allowing greater mobility. As a flamethrower, it's primary function is to remove entrenched enemies. The spread, stickiness, and lethality of the flames make it nearly impossible to escape when in the hands of a skilled soldier.

Armour: HK-74 Einharjar Wanderpanzer (Power armor): The latest in powered sealed hard suits, the H-74 Has a neural interface, and is linked to the user via Uplink ports on the body. So far very few have been produced due to the risks of the surgery involved for the soldier to use the Exoskeleton. Made from an aluminum-titanium alloy, and a carbon fiber underlay, the suit is highly resistant to damage, and is light weight. It sports a HUD that shows individual vital signs, compass, targeting reticle, and team roster/vital signs. The suit also sports a jumpjet used primarily to slow the Gottestöter descent, but can be overcharged to propel them short distances Ex: A canyon or roof top. Very few are seen on the battle field, and few are able to use them.



Faction Template:

Name: Military Republic of Lunari

Motto: "Ad Officium sui, et homines, et Republica"

Symbol: Ornate Winged Sword on a field of Blue and red

Race(s): Custodia is home to both the Illustrati and the Felinae.

The Illustrati are a race of humanoids that make up much of the planet's population. Averaging at about 6ft 8in, and 148lbs, the Illustrati are among the most adaptable species in their system. Their appearance is somewhat similar to that of humans or elves, the major differences being their seemingly lack of pupils, bowed shins, and slightly enlongated canines signifying a carnivorous diet. Their blood also contain Hemocyanin meaning that their respiratory proteins use copper binding sites to bind and transport oxygen, making their blood blue instead of red like humans. Natural acrobats, and extremely adaptive genetics, they can survive in almost any climate.

The Felinae are a race of humanoids decended from felines. Felinae are actually two different species bearing astonishing resemblance to both humans and illustrati, the only physical difference being the tails that extend from their posteriors and the greater variety of ear shapes. What seperate the two are the breeds, Felinae Superior, and Felinae Minus. Both are extremely curious, have exceptionally strong senses of smell and hearing, as well as powerful night vision. Like the Illustrati, they have a seemingly lack of pupils, and their blood contains Hemocyanin. They too are acrobats, and have extremely adaptive genetics, allowing for cross species breeding, and survivability in almost any climate. What seperate the two is the fact that the felenae Superior is taller by a head on average, and are typically hairless, bearing more human/Illustrati features, while the Felinae Minus bears more catlike features, such as a light coat of hair over 80% of their bodies and more feline features much like their ancestors.



Characteristics:

Government Type: Military Republic

Language(s): Latin, Common (English), German (Mostly used by military)

Strengths: Military, Citzens Service, Planet surface combat

Weaknesses: Small Navy, Rivalry with Humanity

Weapon Tech: Kinetic (Electrom magnetically accellerated)

Transport Tech: Voidgate

History: The Illustrati and Felinae, formed Military Republic of Lunari at the end of the unification wars. During that time, the planet Elysium Prime and her moons were in constant flux as divided nations warred with one another. It was the country Lunari that lead it's allies and territories into the next great power, unifying them. The war lasted a century, the oceanic planet's waters were dyed cobalt, from the blood spilled.
The war finally ended when the opposition, whom's names are now long forgotten to the tides of time, securing Lunari as the only super power in the system. The following years were of technological and medical advancement. The republic adopting a warrior culture, quickly advance to the systems beyond, and the birth of the Military Order "The Black Hand".
Military service is among the greatest honors the Illustrati and Felinae could ever strive for, as it was so ingrained into their culture. So much so, that Citizen Service is the only way to earn full citizenship and voting rights with a minimum of 17 years of military service. This was even further implement with the "Young Bloods" Program, where teenagers were able to preform military service as both reserves and civil service called Jr. MP's. Those that did, when they would enlist, would have greater experience than their civilian enlistees, often being promoted far quicker as a result.
When Humanity was first encountered, it wasn't met with an olive branch. Referred to as the First Contact War, the first conflict happened on the Republic Colony of Custodia. Humanity had engaged the colonists in an attempt to take the planet for themselves. What had been hoped to have been a quick victory, rapidly turned into an extermination. The Human Invaders were met with devastating resistance, as most of the colonists were consisting of retired soldiers. Within the next month, the invaders were all but destroyed. Those that weren't were captured and drilled for information. Soon after, the main force of the republic waged a bloody war, lasting five years.
The war finally ended with the signing of the Custodia Accord, Forging an alliance that had previously been signed in the blood of the slain. For Decades, the peace was uneasy at worst, until now.
