My Name Is War (on hold)

Ofttimes, in war, civilizations do things they would not have thought themselves capable of when at peace. Young men and women become trained killers and are sent to places from which they may not return, alliances are forged with those once considered unsavory and barbaric, and weapons once thought cruel are used regularly.

Things were no different for the Unity.

When the might of the Earth Expanse was laid out before them, no charismatic leader stepped forward to speak for calm and panic filled that void. A result of this panic was project Rudis, a program that stole gifted children from their families and enhanced them into the Flamma, augmented soldiers like nothing seen before.

Amongst them was Kali LaCroix. She suffered through ten years of Rudis's cruelty, then fought for ten more years till the Expanse was brought to its knees. Now she lives as a civilian in a society where most fear her and many consider her a monster. Her own family, despite trying to love her, fails to understand her after two decades apart. But questions still remain about the true nature of project Rudis, questions with horrifying answer

And now victory has brought another leadership vacuum, and the people behind Rudis don't care what they have to break to come to power. even if it is the new peace.
