Beyond The Starscape
In a world where technology has reached unimaginable levels, humanity fights an endless war against an extraterrestrial alliance known as the Anti-Humans. This conflict, though devastating, has driven unprecedented scientific advancements, allowing humans to modify their DNA and create a new race of superhumans. These individuals possess superior physical and mental abilities, unlocking their true potential by mastering elemental techniques of water, fire, wind, nature, and light. These abilities are not innate; they must be learned and perfected through rigorous training combined with advanced technology. However, Ryotaro was born different. His body does not respond to the evolutionary process, leaving him unable to master even the most basic elemental techniques. Rejected by a society that idolizes perfection, he struggles to find his purpose as the galactic conflict reaches a critical point. Amid this battle, Ryotaro will discover a completely new and unprecedented way to achieve his potential-a unique path that will challenge everything known about superhumans and mark the beginning of a change that could define humanity's fate.Complete

(Archived) Ace in the Hole
It is the 33rd century, war still rages endlessly, and amongst the stars humanity remains fractured. The Galactic Empire, forged on the carcass of the old Republic, persists with its conquest for complete and unparalleled domination over the vast reaches of the cosmos, and to purge that which they see unfit as they spread their perversion of what the Republic once stood for. While independent rebel forces with their minuscule manpower each push back against The Emperor's cruel regime with all their might, they suffer tremendous casualties and are executed with exceptional cruelty. This new spark of a Galactic Civil War has already lit a fire too big to quell now, and will only get stronger. The Empire already has torn apart countless star systems, the inhabitants either joining the untold billions of the Empire, or being crushed under their heel. To be a man in such times is to live in fear, fear of the unchanging cruelty from the Emperor's iron fist, fear of stepping out of line. There is little hope in the midst of the scent of death and the cruel laughter of Imperial Officers, yet many hold on. Meanwhile in a distant and quiet forest of Kashyyyk, unscorched by blaster fire, a surviving Jedi and her family resides. Soon however, that will change, as the Empire has located the family. A young child known as Rosetta Carmine, child of the hunted Jedi, resides in a shack in a Wookie village unaware of how drastically this day will change the trajectory of her life, and the galaxy as a whole. Act 1 is very heavily influenced by The Force Unleashed 1 Act 2 is still in development (Descriptions will be updated as more is written, there will also be a lot of revisions bc I'm always changing shit so my apologies for that. Everything in this story is subject to change)
