[I]?If we are just one planet in a Universe that we believe to be so huge it can hold more then tens of billions of galaxies then there has to be life on another planet other than our own. Life even if we can?t understand. We have landed on the moon and we will find a way to go beyond our solar system, like in those famous sci-fi shows. We?ll make first contact with aliens one day and I hope it?s someday soon.?[/i][/CENTER]

- [b]Jonathan Davies, 2057 AD.[/b]

Jonathan Davies was a famous astronaut. He became famous by doing the exact same thing Neil Armstrong did; he made history. He said that passage above three years before the day mankind made contact with the first alien race, the Xions. A technologically advanced race that discovered Jonathan?s spacecraft while Jonathan was orbiting around Mars. The Xion ship managed to arrange a meeting through their technology on Earth. Jonathan cut his mission short but told the Xions it would take awhile for him to get back to Earth so his engines didn?t burn out. Showing their good faith, the Xions used their powerful technology to pull Jonathan to Earth with them, and for the first time ever in human history humanity shook hands (awkwardly) with an alien.

The Xions explained everything on that day. They explained about their translator, which helped break language barriers with a few spoken words, their vessels technology and their life. The Xion were also a race of beings that for years had tried to find life outside their own world and had never met any other race other than humans. The Xion even agreed to let humans have their technology so we could adapt it for our own space travel outside or system and to cure disease which threatened the lives of millions. Thanks to Jonathan and the Xions most problems that our Earth faced had been stopped and later on in the year 2080, Jonathan and the Xion captain (Nacher) few the first spaceship out of the solar system and onto the Xion home world.

Then a powerful alliance was formed between Xions and humans. Both races helped each other in advancing both worlds. Jonathan and Nacher, the Xion captain signed a treaty, which on one part it read:

??And even though both worlds have in the past started wars between themselves, there will be under absolutely no circumstances any battles between Xions and Humans. Anything provoking a war will be dealt with by the world leaders of both planets. Each race will attempt to avoid conflict at all cost. These times are a time for change in both worlds to put what was right in both our violent pasts and it should forever stay that way.?

--

In 2100 AD, Jonathan Davies was murdered on Earth and the murderer left absolutely no clues. It could be Xion or Human but no one knew.

? But that soon became clear ?

The Xion?s launched an attack on Earth. They sent warships out to destroy all space stations and destroy all Earth vessels. They broke the promise, the alliance between Human and Xion. The Xion broadcast all over the world their true nature:

[I]?We have seen thousands of species across thousands of galaxies and they are all dead. We, the Xions have and forever will be a race of conquers. We make peace with a world, give them our technology and destroy them. We like a fair fight and a good challenge but the Xions will always win. You past was violent, but ours is much more savage. You could not care less if you wanted to change your past because we for one are proud of ours. With your great hero, Jonathan Davies dead we have crushed all your hope and now, like the thousands of species before you, we will annihilate you from existence.?[/I]

The word of the Xions echoed through the ears of mankind and every single person on Earth who could understand it hated the Xions. Though the Xions were warriors and had conquered thousands of races all over they had never fought beings like Humans who?s will to survive was much greater than anything else in the Universe. So then, Humans turned back to their past and brought back guns, tanks and military weapons. They fought the Xions with everything they had and finally stopped the Xion ships from coming in again.

? For a while.

Just long enough for more spacecrafts to be built, hundreds Guarding the Earth?s solar system. Whenever a Xion ship attacked Earth would know, but every time the Xions found a way to break through and attack Earth again and again. So then it was built. On top of the meeting place of Xions and Humans, the tower was built using the destructive weapons of Earth?s past and the technology brought by the Xions a tower bigger than anything ever built was created, given the name ?Battle Station.? In the Battle Station there was a main Station were the most highly advanced forces of Earth stayed watch. They received all calls and knew everything that was going on. They transmitted important information to the rest of the world, they even had to get out on foot and slaughter some Xions who made it to Earth. The fate of Earth was resting on the shoulders of these men and women keeping Battle Station going and stopping the Xions day in and day out, and Battle Station was the ultimate weapon.

In 2195 AD, the fighting had died down but it was still war. The Xions wouldn?t give up and every now and again they would come up with tactics to break through and attack Earth from above. Xion factions had formed on Earth and even some Xions joined the Battle Station. Now there were Xions working with Humans and half-Xions achieving the highest rank in Battle Station, but still it was a hard job. Not only was Battle Station the key to Earth?s defence but it also had the power to launch missiles at the Captain of the Station?s command. They had to keep the Station running and they had to run outside the Station and fight the Xions by hand. They had the hardest job every. If there was bad news, they?d know first and would have to broadcast it across the world. If there was good news they?d know about it first and have to broadcast it, too. If they made a mistake it could cost millions of lives and if they made the right choice it could save a whole race from totally annihilation.

[B]Name:[/B] Captain Gaur Guerra

[B]Age:[/B] 69

[B]Race:[/B] Xion ? Human (Half breed. His mother was Human and his father Xion)

[B]Rank:[/B] Captain

[B]Station:[/B] None (Captain?s Chair)

[B]Talents:[/B] Gaur is very brave and bold which is a talent most Xions have, making him perfect for command. He is also very good at reading expressions and knowing what people really think. A sad person could hide their sadness up with laughter and Gaur would know something was wrong. This made him a little feared when he was training in the Battle Station as one of the first Xion cross breeds, since he knew what people really thought of him. Gaur is also good at lip reading from a distance so he doesn?t need to hear to know what is going on. Though Gaur doesn?t have many talents he does also have brilliant strength but not the technique to match it.

[B]Personality:[/B] Grumpy and snappy in his younger years, but Gaur later turned into a calm, easy-going man. When Gaur is sat in the Captain?s chair he doesn?t give anyone an easy ride, though. He?s tough, rough and sometimes even annoying. He doesn?t trust the younger people as much as he would trust older ones, cadets especially. Cadets serving near him always have a hard ride but sometimes Gaur does remember what he was like as a cadet, always wanting to prove himself, and being the first Xion and Human to sit in the Captain?s chair he still wants to prove himself. He?s not afraid of being himself when he?s on the Command Centre, and he?s not afraid of making younger people, like cadets, look like idiots. Though he will normally have a joke with some of the older Officers, he does stay serious most of the time.

Gaur is known for holding a grunge, a strong one. He isn?t the forgiving type at all, you annoy him enough and you?ll be in his bad books for the rest of your life. Due to the fact that he doesn?t like cadets too much he tries to keep out of their way and is rarely found on any of the decks were you?d find a cadet. When off-duty he?s either in his quarters or training with himself and a few friends. He takes his job so seriously often that he never drinks alcohol, since he?s afraid of getting drunk and losing his command.

As a Xion half-breed, Gaur considers himself Xion. Therefore, ever since his cadet years he has been trying to prove that some Xions can be as trusting as Humans. Though he considers himself Xion, he never lies. His goal isn?t to be more Xion; it?s to be less Xion. He is honourable but in battle if a man is still alive and rescuing them might cost the lives of the made Command crew, Gaur will leave them behind. His duty to the Battle Station and his Command crew comes before his own life, but leaving a man who is alive behind is a Xion trait that Gaur wishes to lose. Though he is proud of being a Xion who Commands the Battle Station, he does often wish he were a full Xion. Sometimes, he is torn between his Xion heritage and his duty to Battle Station. Some rebel Xions on Earth are somewhat friends he used to know so he is torn between Human and Xion.

If he were fully Human, Gaur would look like that. He is like that only his skin is a pale -grey colour, and his eyes a mixed, clouded red. Though his teeth are white they still have the Xion look, sharp and small. He doesn?t have the bones of the Xion on his throat, only on his hands from his knuckles the edge of his finger tips. His arms have thick hair on it, which goes from his wrist to his shoulder, but doesn?t cover all the way round his arm, only a small bit on the top.

[B]Biography:[/B] Gaur was born on the Xion home world for a genetics project. The Xions thought that combining the genes of one certain Human female and a Xion male, a super-Xion warrior could be created. The Xions wanted to send these warriors over to Earth as rogues so they could join the Station and attack it from the inside, and Gaur was the first subject. As a boy, he was found on a Xion battle ship almost dieing. The Xions had kept him alive there until their ship crew was gone, and when the crew of the Earth ship found him at the age of 4, asleep. When they brought him back to their ship they found that he had no name and no idea who he was, and because of his strength they named him Gaur Guerra (Guerra meaning warrior). The Earth ship ?Armour Tank? became his new home, a heavy battle ship.

For 2 years Gaur lived on the ship, learning both Xion and Human speech without a Universal translator. During those 2 years the Armour Tank picked up 5 more Xion ? Human children, and figuring they had been abandoned because of their crossbreeding, the ship took them all in. Some had special talents, like Gaur?s strength. One boy named Icarus (for no apparent reason, the Captain of the Armour Tank just wanted to give him that name) was deaf and because of that Gaur picked up lip reading. Icarus could read what a person was saying no matter how fast they spoke and managed to teach Gaur. When Gaur was 7, the Captain of the Armour Tank decided to move them to Earth because they were in danger on a heavy battle ship was always on the offensive. So later on, Gaur was moved to Earth with the other 5 and on Earth they met 4 others like them, also found abandoned. Later, Gaur and the other 9 children lived in a small Military base were they learnt everything about the war and the Military forces. Icarus and Gaur were especially interested in the history of the war and how it started, while strangely the other children wanted to know about tactics and how the heavy battle ships were built. Gaur and Icarus were also the only ones who kept contact with the Armour Tank ship while the others did not. Up until the age of 11 Gaur lived in the base with Icarus and the others until Xions attacked the base. The Xions destroy everything and even the computers, not even bothering to take information. Gaur, Icarus and the other children were the only ones to survived but were taken to the Xion home world once again and forced to work in the mines digging for crystals (which were all under the Xion planet).

The Xions who captured the children had no idea about the secret project; therefore the children were treated as badly as the others. One Xion man who was one of the first to rebel against his own race took care of Icarus and Gaur since the other 8 didn?t need much guidance. The Xion, Kraang was very protective for both Icarus and Gaur but he for one knew about the secret project. Even though he knew and was a rebel against the other Xions, he still took care of Gaur and Icarus but not the other children. Though neither Gaur nor Icarus knew about the project they did know something strange was going on. When Gaur was 13 and Icarus too, Kraang was sentenced to death for building up a rebel army in the mines. 2 days before his death, Kraang told Gaur and Icarus about who they were. Kraang was part of the project and he rebelled against Xions because he knew it was wrong to create super beings for war. Icarus and Gaur were somewhat incomplete but had to be used anyway before any Humans found out. The only reason Icarus and Gaur had been so different was because they had no memory and the other children had orders to find everything out about the Human?s military forces and how their ships were made. Feeling they had an oath to return, they promised Kraang that they wouldn?t join the others when they fought against the Humans. Later on, Kraang was killed by the Xion execution technique known as ?Franggi Frang? (translation unknown), where the prosecuted were forced to cut themselves with a knife until they bled to death. Gaur and Icarus watched as Kraang killed himself in a record of 230 deep slashes.

After Kraang?s death, the other children came to Icarus and Gaur and told them about the plan to escape. They would use their strength and enhanced abilities to kill the Gaurds and find a way out for themselves only. Gaur and Icarus went on with the plan, acting as if they remembered what they were meant to be and escaped, leaving the miners to die. Gaur and Icarus regretted that they had to do this, but the others seemed unmoved. After that their mission was to get back to Earth and annihilate the military bases. They hitched a ride on a few ships until they made it back to Earth. At this time they were all 16, old enough to enter into the Battle Station as cadets. The plan was changed and all of them entered, easily being accepted. Being a cadet at this time, Gaur was careful and wanted to keep that hidden from the others. Though Icarus always knew what was troubling him, and that was how Gaur learnt how to see the hidden feelings of others. For a whole 3 years they trained as cadets, and when they finally got to go on a nightshift on the Command Centre, they took over. Icarus and Gaur were there, luckily and were going to stop them.

Intelligence was an enhancement one of them had; therefore no one else could find a way up to the Centre or stop them from firing on the vessels defending Earth. Gaur was determined to stop it, no matter what. He and Icarus knew that after that they would surely be banned out of the Station, but they wanted to save Earth. Though they didn?t know the Captain of the Station at the time was listening. Gaur confronted the strongest and smartest of them all, Caesar (given name by Humans). They fought each other on the Command Centre, with Gaur winning in the end by electrocuting Caesar. The others attacked him, but it was too late. The Officers broke through and stopped them from killing Gaur and Icarus. Then, Gaur confronted the Captain and said he was willing to face the sentence for his actions.

But to Gaur and Icarus? surprise, the Captain promoted them straight to Lieutenant for their performance. He also said since two of his Command crew had been killed they would get the positions: Icarus becoming a Tactical officer and Gaur becoming a Security officer. After that, Gaur then admitted that when he was a cadet he always wanted to prove himself, but now he doesn?t have too. After another year on the Battle Station, there was word that the last of the enhanced Xion ? Humans had escaped their prison. It was said they were starting another plot against the Station, but Icarus and Gaur were going to stop it again no matter what. For the first time in a while, Gaur and Icarus went on foot, alone to stop them in an Underground base.

When meeting the enemies, Gaur and Icarus noticed that they had been plotting against the Battle Station but for good reasons. They believed it was against Xions because there were no Xions on the Command Centre and not many Xions had been promoted. They explained about what they thought of the way Xions were treated because they couldn?t be trusted and for that the Battle Station shouldn?t be left standing. Gaur was ready to shoot them, but Icarus was not. He believed that they had a right, too. He also believed they needed a new leader, like him. After that, Icarus joined the rest of the group that he named the ?Final Reflection?. Gaur was saddened by his friend leaving, but promised them that he too would help by becoming the first Xion to command the Station.

Gaur reported everything to the Captain and explained about the FR. He also said that he was in favour of them, too. The Captain also agreed and decided to promote Gaur to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Gaur became one of the Captain?s best friends alongside the First Officer. At the age of 23, Gaur became one of the best-known Officers on the Stations. He had been on hundreds of missions on foot and felt very trusted even though he considered himself Xion. Gaur was still a Security Officer, though he had plans to move up to First Officer. He never thought he should try for Captain since it would make people think there was some sort of conspiracy going on, a Xion being a Captain. But Gaur did get his chance.

When Gaur was 27 he went on a mission with the Bridge Officers to outer space on a vessel. They were going to the Xion home world to break down their communication, but on the way the Xions attacked their ship. The ship was going to explode, but the Captain refused to leave. He ordered everyone else off the ship, but the First Officer was killed while they escaped. The Armour Tank, the ship that rescued Gaur at first came to fend off the Xions too late. The First Officer and Captain were long gone, leaving Gaur and two other Lieutenant Commanders as the highest ranks.

There were orders left from the Captain before he died, and a list of names he wanted to be Captain if he ever pasted on. In order of his best, the First Officer was first followed by Gaur. Though the Generals and Military had to consider this because they didn?t want a Xion as a Captain. Gaur explained it could bring more Xions on their side, as a sign of friendship as well as war. The Military, however believed it could also lead to more agents and spies and Xions getting in easily. They said that Gaur was not going to be the Captain because he was a Xion, so Gaur dropped it.

However, one of the Lieutenant Commanders who was going to be trying out for Captain decided to defend Gaur because the Military was being sort of racist. They argued that Gaur was only half human and was brought up with humans; therefore he is more human than Xion. It would also show the Xions that not every Xion could get into the Military. The Military then reconsidered and it was a battle between the other Lieutenant Commander and Gaur, but Gaur easily won because his record was much better. At the age of 28, Gaur became the first ever Xion Captain even though he was only a half Xion.

Due to the fact that Gaur might not have been a Captain because of his Xion heritage, this made him like both Xion and humans, though in a war he isn?t afraid to kill the enemy if they?re Xion or not.[/SIZE]

[Angelus_Necare]

[color=darkred][size=1]*gigglesnort* Yay Vicky, you finaly put it up! And would you beleive I'll play a female character for once.[/color]

[color=darkslateblue]
Name: Leiutenant Comander Elma Dorres Wolfe

Age: 27

Race: Human (Caucasian-German)

Rank: Leiutenant Comander

Station: Weapons Command Officer

Talents:
Elma takes great pride in her shooting ability, taking time everyday to hone and carefully train her aim. Agile and strong, Elma holds ablities that any strong soldier should posess. She will also at times brag about her great ability to retain her alchohol while she's already piss-drunk, and will chalange anyone she sees under the table in very poor broken english. Elma could possibly be the reason they say, "Never beleive a drunk."

Personality:
Strong-willed and ambitious could well describe Elma, but there's no one real category to place her in. While she holds these descriptions she sometimes can change at the turn of a hat, becoming lazy and undetermined to do something. Weakness however is never an option to this woman, but the occasional stuborn exterior will shine through almost any emotion.
If Elma doesn't want to do something, she will park herself into her own position and refuse to do anything otherwise untill she sees fit. There's no convincing her at all sometimes, but this doesn't mean she'll refuse to follow an order, she may challange it, but will ultimately back down in the end.

Apperance:
Elma is roughly under six feet, weighing about...well, ladies never tell anyways. She is distiguishable by her short fluffy mop of blonde hair that she shears away at constantly, trying to keep a trim, propper look. Although it makes her look rather tomboyish. Elma's wardrobe consists of casual male attire since she can rarely stand to wear feminine clothing (this is also true in her battle station attire, she refused to wear the female issue uniform). Her casual clothing is a mix of button up shirts and loose slacks, and her old military issued clothing.

Biography:
Elma Dorres Wolfe was born and raised in eastern Germany by her parents Jan and Gretta Wolfe, near an earth defence training center, filled with young soldiers vying to fight against the Xions in battle. Elma's mother Gretta disliked the fact that her daughter would be growing up in such an environment, but her husband Jan was stationed there as a commanding Seargeant, and would do well to support his family very close to the base.

Despite Gretta's pleas, the small Wolfe family remained at their home, raising their daughter as best as they could in a time of war.

By the time Elma was nine, she would rarely come home right after school, and instead spent her time on the military base, enjoying the company of the soldiers who would tell tales of where they hailed from, what their training was like and offten spoiled the young girl with endless attention. No one thought any less that an impressionable nine-year-old wandering about the base, for she seemed to calm the troupes and offer a small amount of entertainment, although it was really the troupes that entertained her.

At the Age of twelve, Elma was a regular on the base, and trained in private with some of the soldiers. She was surprisingly tough for a small girl, and clever too, it was hard trying to make up new excuses for blistered hands and scabbed knees that she attained from her training.

By the time Elma was sixteen, she informed her parents that she wanted to start "training" to join the Earth's forces. And upon delivering that information she got the expected responses from her parents, a proud father and a furrious mother. If they had only known that she had trained previously...

Upon entering training, Elma used all the skills she had been taught previously and advanced quickly through all the Cadet programs, gaining her a small troup position on the Battle station at the age of 20. Within the next seven years Elma pushed herself hard, never looking back, and slowly gained her ranks, slowly yet surely. It was only untill a recent battle in which she rescued an entire squad that she had been upgraded to Leiutenant Commander of the weapons position.

Now in her new position, Elma will do all she can to make her family proud and win over the favor of her superiors.[/color][/size]
