The cries of sorrow, the end of it all. They did this, in the name of survival. Lives were lost, protests spoken, but there was no prevail. After all, no sound can be heard in space.
~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~
Billions of years in the future,
where, despite our efforts, the planet has become nearly inhabitable. Warfare has been a constant, and more than once humanity has attempted to start over, to create new technology from scratch. With it should've come peace. But instead, failure and death continued to reign.
Humans have also evolved to develop supernatural abilities, which only contributed to the slow technology climb, its constant downfall, and horrid over-pollution. Considering everything, scientists had to find the perfect planet for humans, somewhere away from the desolate Earth. Another place, another fresh start.
It's primitive, but the genetically modified and evolved race of today can rebuild society on a safer planet. You see, even if we could stay on Earth, there's a looming issue, one that's much bigger than our planet. The sun. Our beautiful, burning source of light. We need to evacuate before its death. We need to leave Earth behind. Maybe this new planet can be our home. Our world.
Our bio.
~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~
Over 20 characters, a world set billions of years in the future, magic, aliens, and anything else you can imagine. There will be betrayal, power, kindness, and *hopefully* plenty of action.
100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity.
It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions.
As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a Selection process, thus preserving the humankind.
A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster.
Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death.
Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better...stay hidden.
With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late?
