To the Stars and Beyond

The Reapers are finally dead. Defeated in full by the Prothean Remnant in Dark Space, the last dredges of the Prothean Empire can finally rest in peace, their species finally dying off one hundred years after their Pyrrhic victory over the Reapers.

Yet, their legacy remains. The Citadel Council, founded almost fifty thousand years later, has developed, though not to the level of the Prothean Empire, as a worthy successor state.

In the meantime, however, Earth, the center of our story, has brought itself to the brink countless times, each apocalypse hardening them and bringing them closer together, before finally, the Heroes of Aeons, The Megamen Aile and Grey, bring down the Sage Trinity with the full support of the Sage Mikhail.

Two Hundred Years Have Passed. The key to timelessness is discovered by Ciel, who finally comes out of hiding after the deaths of the Sage Trinity in a climactic final battle. A Democratic Government, the first of its kind since the great calamity all those years ago is formed, and the first Planetary Body outside of Earth is colonized.

While terraforming Mars, a group of scientists discover the Ancient Prothean Ruins held within, and immediately begin analyzing them, discovering a previously unknown element, which they dub: "Element Zero". The Element rockets the technology of the Guardian Republic forwards, and they quickly begin to expand, settling several Garden Worlds in short order, the Mass Relays leading them to the worlds that were suitable for colonization with surprising coincidence.

Yet another hundred years pass. The Guardian Republic has stood tall through this time, becoming the haven that their forefathers had imagined so long ago, a place where Humanity and Robots lived in true harmony. Man was, by this time, almost certainly part machine, while machine was also part man.

Yet, even as a Golden Age dawns on humanity, forces from within and without plot. Just a single relay jump away, the Citadel Council begins the process of opening yet another mass relay, the Batarians posed at the forefront of their exploration efforts. Their destination? A Human Colony System. Only time will tell what happens there.

Yet, within, an ancient evil stirs. Once thought defeated, the shattered remnants of Model W still look to influence the course of history, unwitting pawns drawn to the last remaining core and his fragments by promises of power.

We start our story here, questors. Who are you?

What is your name?

[] Write In

What is your gender?

[] Male
[] Female

Are you a reploid or a humanoid?

[] Reploid: A Replica Android. A Sapient AI that mimics humanity so closely the difference is almost impossible to make out. Marked by a Triangle on their forehead, mostly as a matter of distinction. Timeless.
[] Humanoid: A Human, modified to be partially cybernetic via increasingly advanced technology. Timeless, so far as humanity is aware.

Do you have any notable ancestors? (Pick up to One)

[] Aile: One of the Heroes of Renown, Aile is still alive to this day, and, up until you were born, has borne three other children in her womb. She's currently Semi-Retired to raise her children, and, while technically someone quite capable at beating the ever-living shit out of someone, she no longer is the chosen of Model X or Z, having forced the two to move on and find other chosen. Wield a biometal personally made for her by Ciel, Model ZX. As one of Aile's Children, you've been taught extensively on single combat, and command positions.

[] Ciel: The Scientist that discovered a unique form of power, the Ciel System, and discovered the secrets of immortality. Ciel, to this date, has borne two other children. She's also a wielder of a Biometal, Model C, based around her own memories of Zero. She's terrifying to fight, and, unlike Aile, has not retired from Science quite yet, being a leading expert in several fields. As one of Ciel's children, you're extremely capable in the fields of science,

[] Grey: One of the Heroes of Renown, Grey is still an important figure in the Guardian Republic, serving as one of the Field Leaders of the Elite Special Forces of the Navy and Marines. He's, to this date, fathered no other children besides you, and is a rather distant father, though an extremely affectionate one. When he does have time for you, he's taught you how to thrive in a combat zone. To this day, he remains the Copy Megaman.

[] Write In: (Must contain at least a paragraph on benefits and how many other descendants/children there are)

Lastly, no hero in this era would be complete without their partnered Bio-Metal. Which Biometal are you a Biomatch of?

[] Model X, the Blue Mega Man, has attacks based upon those of X and utilizes an X-Buster.

[] Model Z, the Red Mega Man is based on Zero, features its own Z-Saber as a weapon and possesses a visor in place of a helmet.

[] Model H, the Wind Mega Man, is based off Harpuia with his double blades and a wide range of sonic and electricity attacks. It grants the Enemy Analyzing ability, allowing the user to see an enemy's name and remaining "health"

[] Model L, the Ice Mega Man acquires Leviathan's abilities, designed for underwater combat, including the dual-headed staff and projectile attacks. Its Searching ability produces a light which homes in on nearby items.

[] Model F, the Flame Mega Man possesses Fefnir's capabilities of ground combat, fire knuckles and flame/bomb shots, and is good in both long-ranged and melee combat. The Buster Edit allows shots to go in any planned direction, but with a limit on the length of the path.

[] Model P, the Shadow Mega Man hides Phantom's soul inside, features knife-throwing and shuriken attacks, with ninja-like movements and abilities. Its Night Scope allows the user to directly target on-screen enemies with a kunai, even through obstacles, as well as simply see the whereabouts of all immediate threats.

-[X]Mother Elf: The original Elf and cause of the devastation of the Elf Wars. When Zero defeated Omega and freed the curse upon her by Dr Weil, she retired to cyberspace to process all the horrors she had been forced to commit in his name. After centuries of peace, she has returned in attempt to help fix the world she had helped to break. While the countless Baby Elves Dr. Weil created could technically be considered your siblings, you are the only one Mother Elf created of her own free will. As a descendant of the Mother Elf, you have powers over Cyberspace as well as an extensive knowledge on Cyberelves.

So y'all don't want a male protagonist, do you?

From what I can see the parent will establish our background and position at the time of the batarian invasion, and though the scientist and researcher outlook sounds really fun I honestly would prefer a more military based character that could act more proactively and prepared in this situation, appart from being much more central as a political figure that could get us into the juicy juicy arena of Citadel Human conflict and diplomacy.

I pick model H because I think it would fit much more with a commander type of character, the one that is able to fight at range while coordinating everyone away from the melee, accurately identifying the position, state and strength of any given enemy so that those under him can successfully defend, attack and counter.

[X] Ace
[X] Male
[X] Aile
[X] Reploid
[X] Model H
 
Would Craft or Neige work as an ancestor write in for this? Or is craft too exploded and Neige too old?

Memories and a New Journey

[] Model Z

Your name is Ella Nuage, the youngest daughter of Doctor Ciel Nuage, and the Chosen of Model Z. You're known throughout society, being the daughter of arguably the most influential Scientist of all time, one whose work continues to this day.

You've lived a relatively comfortable life, the minor hiccup that caused you to inherit Model Z very much an outlier within your current tapestry.

You still remember it quite clearly, however. The Raider's, still a problem even after all these years, executed a daring raid on the city of Innerpeace, aiming to steal you away for ransom. The previous Red Megaman had stepped in to save you, defending you from wave after wave of raiders, until, in that dreadful moment, he had died, overwhelmed by the sheer amount of raiders pouring in to capture you and kill him.

You remember your scream of rage, and your sobs as the man who had defended you with the fury of a dragon died, even as the Megamerge dissolved, and the Biometal housing Zero's Cyberelf called to you.

You remember his words even now. "It's your decision. You alone must make it. Do you have the will to fight? Do you have what it takes to continue where that brave man left off?" Little did you know, these words were the very words that Model Z had told Aile all those years ago, and, without hesitation, you had taken the Biometal in your hands, and Megamerged.


Your form was so reminiscent of your mother's that it hurt, though, within moments, you were under attack, Model Z practically screaming in your ears to run, that you likely couldn't take on the horde of enemies. Not while you were a new megaman, not while you were still reeling in grief from the man who had been slaughtered in front of you.

And so, with tears streaming from your eyes, you fled. The people around you blamed you not, and, being the target of the raiders in the first place, they gave chase.

Frantic running. Sending buster shots behind you, hoping to hit even one raider, one more person less pursuing you.

Then, finally, you were cornered, having headed down an alley you were certain had lead into another area of the city, only to find a dead end.
You remember the words of the raiders, promising a fate worse than death before you would be killed, the members that had died attempting to capture you sending them into a spiral of range, and you had raised your saber threateningly, tears falling from your eyes as they stepped towards you slowly.

It was then, that like an avenging angel, your mother descended upon them, her eyes blazing with a fury unlike any you had seen, her saber cutting swathes through the raiders, until, finally, she stood before you, covered in blood and other fluids.

"Are you okay Ella? Mommy is here for you now." She had said, embracing you in a hug.

Your sobs had continued for a while, Model Z politely disengaging the megamerge so you could feel your mother's arms around you more personally, the Biometal retreating into cyberspace while he waited for things to calm down.


Shaking your head, you clear the rather horrible flashback from your head, smiling at Model Z's "concerned look", giving him a thumb's up. You were fine, and, thankfully, your therapist agreed.

"Ella, we're going to be late." That would be Elvie, your best friend since childhood, and the daughter of the Mother Elf herself. "You remember that we're supposed to report to our posting today, right?"

Taking a long, hard look at your cyber elven friend, you nod slowly. "Yeah, I remember Elvie. We're reporting to-"

[] The GRS Light, the Guardian Republic's newest Dreadnought. She's an extremely prestigious posting, and you'll be able to geek out over all the newest innovation present on her. Hopefully, your direct CO isn't an ass! (A Sailor's Path)

[] The GRS Swiftsure, a Guardian Republic Exploration Frigate, one that's scheduled to depart from Earth to a currently classified location today. While not the most exciting posting for a naval officer, you're always been an explorer at heart. (A Pathfinder's Path)

[] Area Zero, the birthplace of resurgent nature within Earth's Biosphere. Currently, it hosts your mother's lab, along with several other labs, one of which you'll be working at. Gotta work your way up to your mother's level, after all! (A Scientist's Path)

[] Neo Eurasia, the newest colony that the Guardian Republic has, and a rather exciting posting, all things considered. But, that excitement probably won't last forever, though you know nothing of that yet. (A Soldier's Path)

The choice is difficult, but for now, I'll settle for this.

Exploration is cool.

I think this path will lead us to the thick of what's to come.

We chose a scientist background, we should double down on it.
 
Note that you can science as well on the Pathfinder path, though more along the lines of Xenobiology and stuff.
