The Xetroc Corporation was seen by many as the savior of the human race, throwing caution to the wind and resources at a exponentially fatal crisis. With its efforts providing a safety net to the remaining population, the corporation developed as a governmental organism, rapidly shifting the fulcrum of power, tipping it into science's favour. With only a backbone of humanity remaining, Xetroc needed to test new ways to strengthen and repopulate. A willing candidate, Joshua Wellard, was an able but an unremarkable human. As such he fulfilled the criteria, a scientific John Doe. Just sometimes however, it takes an unremarkable human to achieve remarkable things and he may just find that blind trust in a governing body may be the best and worst mistake of his entire life. Science isn't just fundamental, it's powerful.

War for Change
Humanity used to thrive in 2035 until a group of scientists started playing God. This science team was recruited by all the top world leaders and they've begun receiving demands for a super soldier, and they began experimenting on animals, which gave the scientists expected results, but like all experiments, there was a chance for failure. The humanoid animals, or Anthros for short, started getting smarter, faster than the scientists expected, or reacted. The Anthros broke free and took what was left of the 'White Mist,' the substance that created them, and put it into the planet's air supply. Long story short, most animals worldwide have begun transforming into Anthros, and started devastating the world's militaries before attacking cities. Humanity is now facing extinction with their last millions while the Anthro civilization is over 2 Billion strong and counting. The war between Humans and Anthros has lasted for over 50 years, and while humans may be disadvantaged against the Anthros higher strength, speed, endurance, and intelligence, they still beat Anthros with improvisation, adaptability, and tactics. The war has destroyed all four Eastern continents, leaving behind a creature both Humans and Anthros call Reapers, who are husks of the person they were. The Anthros have near complete control over North America and are fighting Humanity in South America, but the main human bases are located on the Hawaiian islands. With death seeming inevitable for human kind, can nothing stop humanity from extinction? Zero has just graduated from high school with good marks and a scholarship. His family wanted to celebrate, so they said they would wait for him. He went back to grab his wallet, and as he turned around, he started falling in a wormhole, closing afterwards.

Darling In The Stranxx || 016 x 002 ||
|| You probably think it was a typo in the title, but I meant to put that there for a reason || Read to find out ;) ____________________________________________________ A normal planet with a modern society, that is until 50,000 years ago, a strange meteorite crashed upon Earth and leaked its metallic liquid. The man who discovered it decided to make the metallic liquid into arrows. He then buried them underneath his homeland and in the year 2000, it was eventually discovered and monstrous beings called "Klaxosaurs" begin appearing. The arrows were a sign of hope as when exposed to the air, it chose which people to grant powers from. A visual manifestation of life energy to the user. Ordinary people cannot see it, but people who were granted with these powers can see it. It could not be harm by ordinary things, only other special people can hurt it. This was known as a Stranxx, and people who were granted these powers used it to kill the infestation of Klaxosaur. Some used it for good, some used it for bad but they didn't know that there would be a school just to train your Stranxx and fight Klaxosaurs. Thus we focus on our main protagonist, Hiro. He is Stranxxless but he has a dream, and that dream is to be known as the #1 Hero that destroys Klaxosaurs in one swoop. So he thinks that the program will help him fight the Klaxosaurs. Who knows what will happen.Complete

Humanity's many colonized worlds have united under a single banner to aid in the protection of the species; thus, the United Worlds Coalition was formed. Five painful years later, humanity is still losing the war against the aliens that call themselves the "Creed of Apex." Apex, the god of war in their belief, apparently unified the many races that make up the Creed against a common enemy; the unlucky humanity that passed through a system controlled by the Creed. A team of scientists has gotten together, and they have formulated a final resort that may be able to aid the war effort; the Titan Project. The scientists gathered a group of 200 likely candidates for the project. They all age from 7-10, and all exhibit the traits needed in a Titan. They were all taken from their homes and brought to a military planet on the inner section of human space.Complete
