Earth 2045
Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2012 6:59 pmThis is more out of interest and curiosity than anything else. I'm feeling very laid back about it

Earth 2043
There are no nations.
Humanity survives in comunes based out of old military complexes.
The old cities are over-run with twisted creatures that were once men, hunting the last vestiges of the Human Race.
The only thing standing against them are the genetically and cybernetically enhanced soldiers of the A.S.T.A.R Corps.

Background:
Ideas of genetic manipulation through selective breeding was first seen in the early 20th centry with the idea of eugenics - the method of enhancing the overall potential of humanity through both biological and sociological manipulation. This was taken to it's extreme during the middle of the centry, and the idea soon vanished from public view after. However, the idea of improving the physical remained, and found root within the science of cloning. Animals had their genetic structures deliberatly altered in the name of science and progress, all the while going furthur and furthuer.
Not 20 years in to the 21st century, scientists announces that they were going to grow the world's first genetically superior human being. Ethics committees went wild at the very notion of bringing human life into existence for the sole purpose of experimentation, and what sort of life the resulting human would have. Backlash at the idea drove the scientists underground, where they found faceless corporate backers who desired their own specially-grown guard animals and undetectable corporate spies, and had no qualms about where they came from, or what barriers had to be broken to get them. Given free reign and a near-limitless budget, the scientists did what needed to be done for their new backers
In 2037, a leak reached the governments of the world that this was going on and, in a fit of collective panic, a special operations team was put together to locate the scientists, extract them, and destroy the lab. Finding the lab took the best pat of a year, and the ops team was just a little too enthusiastic once they had gotten in, having gotten sick of sitting on their hands. An undocumented event happened in that lab and, all that anyone knows is that the team went in, but no team and no scientists came out. What did emerge, however, were their twisted experiments - stange amalamations of human and beast that were both and neither. Some walked like men, but with slick carapaces, claws and fang-filled maws while others loped around with far too many limbs, or slithered across the ground, pulling themselves on faster with powerful arms
Nobody was prepared for them, and the first the general population knew of their existence is when they streamed into the closest town. They acted almost like a feal pack, running down and leaping on anything that moved. It was apon their first contact with humanity outside of a controlled environment that their most sinister aspect was revealed. Due to the way that they had been bred, the experiments all shared genetic strains of human DNA, some more than others. The smaller of the creatures started to swarm around and get in the way of the panicked populace while the larger ones set about raping the captured, spured on by hidden genetic impulses. This caused their population to swell as those that were taken added to their numbers. Men would twist and change, becoming like those that had taken them and quickly searching out victims of their own, while the woman would hold the creature's young for several weeks before giving birth to litters of the creatures both large and small.
Two more towns were attacked in short order, and the military were scrambled to engage and exterminate them. This is when another aspect of them came to the fore. Rather than acting like the wild beasts they had been, the creatures started to employ tactics. The lesser members would be herded forward to act as distractions, while the larger ones would sweep round and take the soldiers by surprise. Even when the ambushes didn't work, the soldiers were on the back foot as shots from rifles that would drop a man seemed to have little effect on some of the bigger creatures. Soldiers panicked, were captured, and forced into the collective. The creatures became smarter still.
Three years after that even, in late 2041, humanity was in real trouble. The creatures had spread from continent to continent, with only the heaviliest defended places holding out. One of those was a military research lab. It was from there that humanity's hope arose - the very first augmented pure human. Having learned from those samples of the experiments that had been captures, scientists had begun to unravel the work that had been performed to create them enough so that they could enhance human without any of the side-effects that the mutations had. A young girl underwent the procedure voluntairily, and emerged stronger, faster, and tougher than anyone else in the base. The only failing point was her mind had not been enhanced. Still, she was considered a success and given the codename of S.T.A.R Child.
She proved to be effective on the battlefield, able to defeat the smaller creatures in close combat with ease, and resist the rape attempts of the larger onse. However, even though she was better than any human on the planet, even she was overwhelmed by sheer numbers in the spring of 2045, and impregnated. Escaping, she resisted attempts of capture and made her way back to the base where her offspring were held in captivity, and the enhancement process improved apon even furthur. The second generation of enhanced humans - the A.S.T.A.R Corps
