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.
You struggle to open your eyes, and squint into the light. With considerable effort, you sit up. You're lying in a crater, about 20 feet wide. Around it is a dusty sandbowl. You climb out of the crater, remembering nothing of before. Looking around, you see:
North - Road East - Marshlands South - Forest West - Mountains
The road twists through a canyon of blue stone. Up ahead, you see a small outpost with a couple of guards. One sees you, and draws his rifle. Bullets streak through the air, and a few hit you. However, you Charge the guy and slice his head off. The building and guards are arranged like this:
aaarrrrggg i got vexed. now i'm gonna be dragged along for a trip that'll be at least a week, and i can't post for that time.(maybe a few times if a hotel has free wi-fi)
{The curse of the RPG strikes again... oh well, see you when you get back. Have a nice trip.}
You Charge the closest guard and spear him through the chest. You sneak up on the second one, but he sees you and blasts you in the shoulder. In a flash, you Charge to him, and decapitate him easily. The three buildings are now unguarded. You take a Card Key from the dead guard. Do you want to enter:
A) The Armoury B) The Med Center C) The Living Quarters
I'll let you join, but bear in mind that if Moat or Cyan comes back, you get booted off. Sorry, but I don't have time to do 4 characters at once. Is that OK?
You use the card key on the Med Center doors, and enter. It's a small building, with a few rooms. You ransack the storage and find:
2x Syringe - Fully restore all MP 4x Protein Pack - Restore 50 Health
You walk into the next room, and find a medic tapping at a computer. She turns around, hearing you. "Oh my God... It's you..." she gasps. She draws a strange sort of tube shaped device, and a beam of green energy fires from it striking you in the chest. You collapse backwards into a wall, as she sprints out of the doorway. You get up, and Charge after her, but she climbs into a shuttle you hadn't seen before. With a whine of it's engine's it rockets I to the sky. Two more guards approach you. What do you do?
I forgot this last post:

You wake up, forcing your eyes open. "Ah. 005 is awake, gentlemen." a quiet voice says. "Excellent. Well, proceed with the control implants. We don't want this one escaping." Another voice, older. Control implants? You don't like the sound of that... With a flash of green light, blades of psionic energy burst from your armoured wrists. Jumping through the air, you land behind the scientists. *Sounds of screaming* Humming, you walk out of the room, surveying your surroundings. This place seems to be constructed out of a white metal. There are three corridors and some stairs leading to other parts of the facility. Do you:
A) Go to the Shuttle Bay B) Go to the Med Center C) Go to the Armory D) Go to the Command Center?
