((Please post characters and questions in The Machine OOC))
During the Anglo-Spanish War in 1588, a privatly funded Spanish scientist attempted to create a machine that would advance the human body and create the ideal soldiers. He convinced the governemtn to allow him to test it on a select group of soldiers. To his horror, it failed drastically, mutating the men into grotesque creatures that died shortly after creating. His funding was pulled and the government locked away the secret of the horrible accident. When the Spanish lost, the scientist fled to england in hopes of escaping his tarnished name.
He remained there, unable to find his flaw. However, his young British apprentice took over the ideal after his death, hoping that the completion of the machine would give England an edge over its adversaries. The machine passed through many hands before the time for its next test was upon the. In 1776, Britain was desperate to defeat the American rebels, and agreed to a classified testing of the enhancer. The men at first saw no changes in their physical apperance, but soon, their muscles began to deteriorate, and they died. Once again, the machine had failed.
The man fled the governments anger by escaping to Germany, hoping that the government would fund further studies to enhance their troops. He was correct. He continued the tradition, takking in a worthy apprentice, teaching him the arts of the trade. In 1914 the government demanded to see results for use against Rusia and France. Once again the machine was put to the test. This time both male and female volunteers were used. This time, the people saw muscle growth and sensory advancements. However, all but one died of brain anurisms caused by the quick changes in their bodies. The last continued to grow until her skin could stretch no more and she died of blood loss from her tearing flesh.
Once again, the machine was moved. This time into Russia. The Soviet Union was the perfect place to introduce the idea of human enhancement. The Soviets agreed to fund the group that now worked upon the machine, but only if they swore to share the secret with no other country whilst they were in their employment. The machine was advanced beyond all their hopes and recieved its final test in 1938. The world was once again at war and the USSR wanted the grandest army ever seen. A group of nine people were selected for the procedure. A few days after the initial workings of the machine, the people began to see changes in themselves. Some were more intellegent then before. Others stronger or faster. They could do things that were impossible before the machine. However, something went wrong. The abilities began to take tolls on thier bodies and minds. Those gifted with intellegence began to see thing, hallucinate, and went insane. They all committed suicide. Those who were stronger found thier strength to be uncontrollable. They found that hugging was now fatal to those they loved. A high five would break the person's arm. A slight touch of the gas pedal would floor the car and send it speeding into traffic. They either died in accidents or were killed by those who despised them. The ones with speed suddenly aged far faster then any human. They died of old age within a month.
Finally, the machine was taken to America, the land of freedom and of rich benefactors and sponsors. For the era of the cold war, the machine was readied for the end. The final glitches worked out. One man,
Horatio Kanner, discovered the key in 1994. All of the other test subjects had been to old. Thier bodies could not handle so much stress. However, a body that was already changing, already hormonal, now that might be able to hold the changes. Yes, teens. That's what he needed. Subjects in their prime. Pubesent children. That was what he would use. They would be the perfect soldiers...
Ok, story line. The man will open a special school for orphans. He'll look like a selfless humanitarian and the government will give him grants for the children's education. They'll be treated very well and learn from excellent teachers. The children will all be between the ages of 11 and 19. soon after arriving at the school, the children will be invited to a one on one meeting with the headmaster (the scientist). During that meeting, the child will become unconsious and placed in the machine. When they awaken, be back in the office and the headmaster will repremand them for falling asleep.
a few days after the meeting, they begin to notice slight changes, depending on the ability they recieve. At first they'll ignore it, but as more begin to see these changes, they all wonder what might be happening. The story will play out for a while at that stage.
PART 2
Now the children know about their experimental abilities and are unsure wether to embrace them or not. The school is on the verge of bancruptcy, so the professor must do something or let all of his work come to an end. He'll decide to sell the children to one of the countries that once financed the machine's building. We'll play out more from there as well.
RULES:
1. Romance is ok, but nothing over a PG rating.
2. No godmodding without my permission.
3. Keep the violence level PG.
4. Keep to the plot line. If you want to add a twist, PM me and I'll approve it (maybe).
5. Try to keep the OOC in the OOC. Otherwise use double parenthesis ((like this)).
6. All speaking in "quotation mark" and all action is story form.
7. Try to stick with multiple sentence posts. If you can't come up with anything more then the one line, we all might have to beat some ideas into you . (JK)
8. If you disappear for long periods of time without an explanation, your character will be given away or sucumb to a violent death.
