The human race is triumphant. After succesfuly developing space travel, they swarmed around the galaxy, colonising dozens of worlds. In doing so, they found numerous signs of alien civilisations: odd bits of technology, ruined desert cities of gold filagree and glowing blue light, abandoned scapyards... but no life. But soon enough, following the trail across the galaxy, they found them: the Enkari. Highly advanced lifeforms, they were all but extinct when the humans found them, claimed by a deadly disease. They bequeathed their knowledge to the humans, in the form of a datacrystal, hundreds of miles high. The humans brought the crystal to earth, where the scientists eagerly awaited a chance to experiment with the advanced technology. However, on the way to earth, a rogue military general, Amadeus Sungh, attacked the convoy with a small fleet, seizing the crystal. The rest of the humans counterattacked, and in the process, the vast crystal was lost, accidently blown apart by weapons fire. Only a few shards remained, and war broke out among the humans, fighting for the knowledge contained within...
Tuth Choss, Haron System
You wake up, and find yourself lying on a table. The room is dark, but you can make out banks of surgical equipment. You clutch your head, trying to remember something, anything before this room. Nothing, nothing apart from your name. You sit up, and climb off the bed. You hear a clanking noise, and stare in horror at your body. Half of it seems to have been encased in some sort of golden armor, with glowing blue cables snaking in and out of your skin. Twin golden gauntlets are affixed to your hands, and metallic armor covers your torso. Armor covers the lower half of your legs, and on your chest you see a green crystal affixed to the armor. Blue cables connect to this, and it glows eerily. Despite the armor, you can move freely. In fact, you feel light and flexible. Suddenly, the floor shakes and there is an enormous BOOM. You are knocked off your feet, but get back up again and rush to the door. It opens, and you stumble into a large hall, filled with people running away. You stare out of a window, and see tanks and soldiers charging towards the base...

Levelling Up
You level up every time you gain ten XP, either from defeating enemies or completing a difficult task. Every time you level up, you may add 5 points to your stats, and I will offer you a choice of new skills.
I will accept ONE person for this RPG, and I will be inviting that person. If they refuse, it will be open to anyone. Feel free to ask any questions.
I...I was not invited? I feel threatened in my position as Present RPG Grandmaster. Straight Moat: Moat, for one thing, that's not even a title, for another, you GAVE IT TO YOURSELF! Immaterial. Mind-Moat: Bull****. Gay Moat: Yeah...ithn't Grandmathter a cheth thing? No... Straight Moat: Liar. You made and bestowed on yourself your own title, and you didn't even bother to make it original. You guys are teaming up on me! Straight Moat: So? You can't team up on me! I'm you! Disregarding that...I feel threatened.
Thanks for joining. Okay, you run down some stairs, but a scientist spots you and cries: "The experiment is loose! Capture it! A burly security guard runs towards you.
Security Guard: 5HP
What do you do? Hint: try burning or moving his internal organs. Y'know, nothing too grizzly.
-------------
Moat- Hmmmmm... Well, you ARE the Grandmaster (ALL HAIL!), so I'll make an exception in your case. But, do you want to be in the same kinda... universe as cyan, (eg, two experiments) or a different one?
BTW, looks like my ace psychologist skills will be needed soon...
*-I thought a mix of Greek(Deimos) and Latin(Praelium) was most appropriate here. Roughly translated, I think it means Battle's Terror. And no, I don't speak Greek, but I know who Deimos is in Greek mythology.
Cool, 'kay, so is that good? Same universe, if you don't mind. The Grandmaster...tis a cool title. Mind-Moat: For chess. Shut up!
All righty, for the sake of MY sanity, I'll just presume your're by Cyan's side. Right, you watch while Cyan rushes towards the scientist, then you notice another guard come charging towards you. You see a dropped scalpel on the ground, and grab it, as the guard advances. What do you do?
Unfortuantely your powers haven't developed to that point, but you shove him into the wall manually, then keep the pressure on his neck with your teke. What do you ask/do to him?
It'll have to wait until he wakes up. Until then, I tie him up with whatever I have and go to help Cyan. When he wakes up, I'll ask him what he knows about the facility; where the weapons are, where the exits are, how to escape, any security, etc. etc. I don't expect him to answer, but he should think of the answer, even if he doesn't say it, and then I'll read his mind. Soon, I'll know everything there is to know about this place, and that should help me. Then, I'll knock him out again(this time with my fist) and pick him up. He'll be my hostage, my extra insurance.
Well, he wakes up immediately, and panics, telling you everything. There are are guns in the armory, but enemy soldiers have a high presence there. There is an exit in this room, but the tanks will swarm there soon. Security guards are common in the basement, but there will be powerful experimental weapons and technology up there. Otherwise, security presence is mainly devoted to defending against the attacking army. He finally metions seeing scientists taking more blue cables and golden armor to the basement, and whispers of "Project Three". Just then, an explosion tears away the hall wall, and soldiers dressed in powered armor rush through, firing gauss rifles at anything that moves. You grab Aquillane, and both of you rush into a corridor, seeing the scientist and the guard get hit by bullets.
Do you: A) head to the basement B) head to the armory C) Make a break for the exit
!!!Level Up!!!
Add five skill points to your stats.
New Skills:
Mind Shock: Send extreme pain through as many targets as your current power.

Is that right? I wasn't sure if I pick one or if I get them all. A) head to the basement I am curious about this so-called Project Three, and it sounds like any equipment from there, would be useful. When I see the guards, I yell: "Help! There are a bunch of traitors behind us, and they want to kill us before we can warn anybody!" Before the chaos is sorted out, I'll snatch everything I can and dash towards the exit.

You get one skill, sorry to burst your bubble, and you need to add five points to your stats.
The guards are completely fooled, and run towards the hall. You hear gauss rifle fire, and smile. Items found:
1x Graviton Blaster 2x Energy Blade
You hear screams, and rush to the source. You arrive at thick metal door. You blow it apart with th Graviton Blaster, and see a strange sight. A girl, lying on a metal table, is having golden armor affixed to her in a similar fashion to you. Scientists stand around her, working hurridley, threading cables through her skin. The operation seems to be being performed without anaesthetic, and the girl is screamin in agony. Before you can do anything, twin hulking robot guards charge at you. What do you do?
Name: Deimos Praelium Gender: Male Class: Telepath Skills: Mind Read, Stun, Mind Shock Speed: 6 Strength: 6 Power: 7 Endurance: 6 Health: 60 XP: :/15 Level: 2 Inventory: Scalpel, 2x Energy Blade, Graviton Blaster
Nooooo...*sad face*. I'd do Mind Control, but seconds are too short. Minutes, hours, different story. But no. Blow the robots to bits with the Graviton Blaster. And I won't do anything concerning the whole girl/doctor thing. If I interfere, it'll probably cause the doctor to make a mistake and the girl will be crippled or something. There's not much I can do.
