The Enclave end up entering Colonial politics, and end up creating a totalitarian government on Mars. (FALLOUT)
2080: People of Rapture are largely unaffected by the nuclear radiation due to they're underwater location. Some try to leave the city to help the surfacers, most meet with little success.

Outside of earth...
2148: Prothean ruins on mars is discovered. This leads to mass acceleration of technology in the colonies by roughly 200 years. (MASS EFFECT)
2150: On earth, Helios grows interested in space exploration. Helios begins the construction of ships for space travel, this sparks an interest for space around the city, and dozens of ships get built.
2150: The Helghan Corporation colonize a planet in Alpah Centuri. One of the first colonies outside our soloar system. (KILLZONE) What they didn't know was that there was already a species of aliens living there, the akrid. Reptilian insecticides that survive due to thermal energy they produce inside them. These creatures vicious nature slowed down the colonization process, and were even responsible for some companies abandoning the established colonies. (LOST PLANET)
2153: Helios makes contact with Helgan corps, and asks for permission to colonize the planet in exchange for workers, Helghan corps agrees. Thousands from Rapture, Antartica, and Greenland immigrate to E.D.N.
2155: The Helghan Corporation as well as several other corporations prosper. Corporations manage to buy itself out of the Colonial Alliance, freeing themselves from taxation. (KILLZONE)
2170-2525: The Colonial Alliance rename themselves to Unified Mars Government. The United Nations Space Command (UNSC) begin colonization of hundreds of planets. Even though Earth went through Mutual Mass Destruction, humanity would gain a massive population growth. (HALO)
2200-2202: First Extrasolar War: Tensions rise between Mars and the Helghan alliance. Due to economic struggles on Mars, Helghan secedes all ties from the Unitied Mars Government, stopping the flow of precious resources to Mars.

The following centuries, Halghast infantry will consist Plasmid induced (BIOSHOCK) soldiers. UNSC will rely on cyber augmented (DEUS EX) soldiers. Plasmids cannot be used if someone is fully augmented. The Mars Allience declared plasmids taboo. The Helghast empire prefer plasmids over augmentations because plasmids are more efficient due to they're planets harsh conditions.
The Mars Allience refuses to accept conduits into they're society. (INFAMOUS/PROTOYPE). This is because they have proven themselves impossible to control. All superpowered beings are forced to either hide ore surrender themselves to harsh government expermentation.
Halghast had tried to utilize superpowered beings, but conduits proved that they were too superior to they're ranking officers. They would rise through the ranks too quickly, gaining too much influence dangerously too fast. For a time, many conduits were assasinated to forbid them from rising up. Eventually, all conduits are declared "diseased", and are ordered to be killed on sight. This unfazes most conduits, because the Halghast empire covers less then 1% of they're home planet. Many Conduits live peacefully away from Halghan land. Helghast and conduits coexist on E.D.N. III in seperated cities.
2357: UNSC starts the ORION project. (HALO)

2462: Nevec finishes "warming" ten percent of the planet. This, however, causes dormant dangerous akrid to awaken. The Helghast empire doesn't bother colonizing these forested areas, this is due to the fact that the terraformed jungles lack precious ores they want. Nevec on the other hand, starts manufacturing harmonizers and VS's for all they're military contractors. (LOST PLANET) The locust also come out of hibernation in an attempt to "Reclaim" they're planet. (GEARS OF WAR) Fortunately, the locust largely leave the humans alone. The locust that do attack human colonies are easily fended off thanks to the human's genetic mutations, nanosuits, and mecha technology.

2523: Council engages Halghast on Pluto. There, the council contacts the Mars Government, thus forming an alliance against the Helghast empire. The Mars Government, however, never fully engages the Halghast empire, and instead only agree to supply the Council. (MASS EFFECT)
2525: Project Olympus is put into place by the Mars Alliance. After years of research thanks to the ORION project, average UNSC soldiers are now augmented with 100% survival rate. These augmentations fall short of the ones SPARTANs received, but they still are very helpful. They include, increased mussle mass, increased lungcapacity, a decrease in reflex time by 30% and enchanced senses. Marines now wear Mark V SPI armor, now upgraded to enhance speed and strength, and are equipped with personal shielding, although it still falls short of MJOLNIR's capabilities. ODSTs have had their regular armor upgraded with personal shielding, improved alloys, and an improved HUD. (HALO)

Spartans: eight thousand soldiers: are picked by a unique gene pool, trained at a young age by the government to be supersoldiers: Trained at birth until the age of twenty: Most advanced armor and augmentations possible by the Mars alliance.
The Mars allience secretly used conduits in the ORION project as well.
Guardians: five hundred: are conduits with spartan armor. Indoctrinated at a young age to serve the alliance. Using power transfer technology, these conduits have electric, flaming, ice, and telekenetic abilities.
Zeus: twelve : Soldiers in mech armored suits. Meant to single handedly destroy armies. These are people that are as powerful as Alex Mercer.
Ancient: People who have had they're DNA altered in some way by ancient aliens (DEAD SPACE/METROID). There are only four know people who are ancients. It is unknown whether they ar paide mercenaries of the alliance or have been conscripted into their ranks.
Helghast empire: Because of they're militiristic rule, the majority of they're population are brought up into military training. To make up for their lack of members, all helghan soldiers are on par with UNSC Nobles.
The Council: Due to the rising tensions, the council lifts the military limitations on it's member species.
Meanwhile, on earth:
December 5, 2161: An individual known to history as the Vault Dweller is sent out from Vault 13 to find a replacement water chip.
2162: The Vault Dweller retrieves the water chip, but encounters a mutant that calls himself the Master, who is raising an army of genetically engineered Humans known as Super Mutants to retake the wastes and rebuild it under his rule. However, his goal includes Humanity's extinction and Super Mutants becoming the new dominate species of the planet. The Vault Dweller defeats the Master and his army scatters without his leadership. The Dweller then returns to Vault 13. He is denied access by the overseer and is exiled for his contact with the outside world. Furious, many of the inhabitants follow him.
July 2165: The Vault Dweller and his followers found the village of Arroyo.
October 2, 2188: The Vault Dweller's daughter is born.
2189: The New California Republic is formed, as are the Followers of the Apocalypse.
May 2241: Vault 13 receives a signal ordering their inhabitants to leave. A couple of days later, the doors open to reveal two squads of Enclave, remnants of the US government, soldiers waiting for them. Several are killed and the rest are captured. In the village of Arroyo, the grandson of the Vault Dweller, the Chosen One, leaves in search of a Garden of Eden Creation Kit (GECK) in order to save his failing village.
2242: The Chosen One succeeds in finding a GECK, but in his absence, Arroyo is attacked by the Enclave and its inhabitants abducted, intended to be used along with the inhabitants of Vault 13 in experiments to complete the Enclave's biological weapons. The Chosen One attacks the Enclave's oil rig and destroys it, rescuing the people of Vault 13 and Arroyo. Together and with the assistance of the GECK, they create a prosperous community.
2247: Three members of the Followers of the Apocalypse are captured by a tribe known as the Blackfoot for ransom. One of them uses his knowledge of warfare and tactics to train the tribals in fighting their enemies, earning their respect and leadership of the tribe. The Follower takes the name Caesar and uses the tribe to conquer neighboring tribes, adding their ranks to his own with every victory, eventually uniting dozens of tribes by force and destroying their identities. Caesar's Legion is born.
July 13, 2258: The Lone Wanderer is born, but his mother does not survive the experience.
2274: The NCR expands to the Mojave Wasteland, encountering Mr. House, the ruler of New Vegas who recruits three tribes as allies to form New Vegas. The New Vegas treaty is signed, 5% of the power generated by Hoover Dam is sent to New Vegas while the rest is sent back to California.
2277: The Lone Wanderer's father leaves Vault 101, forcing his son to flee for his own safety. The 19 year old travels the Capital Wasteland searching for his father, only to see him killed by the Enclave, who had fled to the east coast after their defeat at the hands of the Chosen One. The Lone Wanderer retrieves a GECK from Vault 87, assists a faction known as the Brotherhood of Steel, a group whose ancestors were US army deserters, in finishing the life work of his father, Protect Purity, and defeats the Enclave. He also assists a woman known as Moria Brown in writing the Wasteland Survival Guide, a book that is applauded as brilliantly researched and written. Despite the Lone Wanderer only doing research, the young woman states that he was the main author.
On the opposite side of the remains of America, the New California and Caesar's Legion clash in the Mojave Wasteland. The Legion attempted to take Hoover Dam, but the NCR was able to trick them into charging into Boulder City, which was rigged with explosives. The resulting explosion dealt heavy losses to the Legion, forcing them to retreat to the other side of the Colorado River, where they spent years regrouping. Angered at the failure of his men, Caesar orders his Legate to be covered it pitch, set on fire, and thrown into the Great Canyon.
2278: The NCR launches an invasion of Bitter Springs in response to the abduction and execution of soldiers. Due to a miscommunication, a group of First Recon snipers fire on a group of children, women and elderly. This is later recalled as the Bitter Springs Massacre.
2281: Conflict breaks out again between the NCR and Caesar's Legion again. Mr. House also hired a Courier to deliver a data chip disguised as an ordinary poker chip to him, but the Courier is intercepted and shot in the head twice before she is left for dead in a shallow grave. Over the weeks she makes a full recovery and sets out to hunt down the man that nearly killed her, who turns out to be the leader of the Tops, Benny. She cornered him in his private suite, disarmed him and then shot him five times in the chest with his own handgun. Upon learning of the true nature of the chip, she chose not to deliver it to Mr. House, and when the NCR, whom she had been helping ever since she set out to search for Benny, asked her to kill Mr. House, she did. The Courier latter helped the NCR win the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, where she killed the current Legate, Lanius in one on one combat, and then Caesar himself, breaking the back of the Legion and forcing them out of the Mojave.
2283: The east coast Brotherhood of Steel signs a treaty with settlements that it has established friendly ties with thanks to Project Purity. The Washington Confederacy is born. It begins to spread outward, towards the north and the west using technology salvaged from the Enclave and a massive robot known as Liberty Prime to eliminate all hostile forces with ease.
2286: The NCR pushes eastward, driving the Legion further back. Disorganized with the loss of their leader, the Legion was forced to abandon many strongholds that it had once held and flee to the uncharted lands in the east, raiding small tribes for supplies. However, before long they encountered the rapidly growing Confederacy and were forced to combat their highly trained troops and advanced technology. Eventually, the Legion was trapped in Tennessee, with the Confederacy on one end and the NCR on the other.
The Courier and the Lone Wanderer were both sent on missions to eliminate the remaining leaders of the Legion in the ruins of Nashvile. This mission proved to be a total success. While there, they encountered each other and mistook each other for enemies. They fought for hours, first using firearms, but then when their ammunition ran out they fought with knives and eventually in hand to hand when their knives broke. After a long and brutal battle in which neither combatant could gain the advantage, they both collapsed, too exhausted to even sit up. With nothing else to do, the two began to talk, learning much about each other and the factions that they were a part of, becoming friendly and realizing their misunderstanding. Eventually NCR and Confederate forces are sent to retrieve them, and make contact with each other for the first time. They later sent negotiation parties to meet each other, forming an alliance.
2289: The last remnants of the Legion are crushed. The NCR and the Confederacy sign the Treaty of Nashvile, which establishes the boarders of both nations, dividing the former United States of America in half.
2290: The Lone Wanderer and the Courier are wed.
As the years continued to pass, the people of America continued to rebuild. Industry and agriculture were reborn, while lacking the same scale as the Prewar world, it was more than enough to sustain the continent's now smaller population. However, they were not the only ones who had formed their own nations.
2294: A small fleet of ships, a couple of them military, dock on the east coast. All of them carry emissaries from nations in Europe and Asia. Accompanying each of the emissaries were individuals that were much like the Lone Wanderer and the Courier, talented and powerful people that had shaped the fate of their nations and defeated great enemies. The Liberator originated from the Russian Union, the Champion from the Royal British Empire, the Holy One from the Vatican, the Warrior from the Chinese Alliance and the Defender from the Japanese Federation.
2310: While delivering barrels filled with the strain of FEV that the NCR had started to produce to help develop the population of friendly Super Mutants, a truck breaks down near a Deathclaw nest, exposing several eggs. The eggs were taken for study, but when they hatch, the Deathclaws showed signs of increased intelligence and even the ability to speak. Bounties were put out for undamaged Deathclaw eggs in order to further this study.
2310 - 2525: Earth's populations continues to grow exponentially. Conduits, cyborgs, ghouls, and super-mutants work together to establish society on a torched planet. Earth tries to establish ties with the Mars alliance, but Mars refuses to associate themselves with the "tainted" earthlings. In a way, earth is more free than Mars, it is much more decentralized and has many more freedom than the Martian planets do.
2314: The black marker is found on the Yucatan peninsula by followers of apocalypse. Research is started immediately. After the dangers are discovered, the entire peninsula is querentined for research purposes. No civlians are allowed to enter the region. (DEAD SPACE)
2363: Earth adopts terraforming technology from E.D.N. III, allowing earth to make once hostile areas of the planet hospitable again.
2364: Red Markers are made on islands in the pacific ocean. They're able to provide large amouns of natural energy to the mainland while safely away from civilian populations. (DEAD SPACE)
2525: Due to the rising threat of "aliens", earth begins launching dozens of non-military space ships to establish itself as a space power.
Conduits are repressed by the Mars Allience and Helghast empire. By 2525, however, earth and E.D.N. hold large conduit populations. On E.D.N. III, forty percent of the population outside the Helghast territory was conduit, while sixty percent of earth's total population was Conduit. This was probably due to the fact that interracial marriage was romanticized by artists and storywriters on earth, and that they could share their works to E.D.N. III through Helios.
2528: Earth is admitted into the council. They do not, however, represent humanity as a whole, and instead earth becomes the "middle man" between the Citedel council and the Mars alliance.
The Mars alliance is an alliance of humans that colonized Mars after World War 3. Their empire have stretched to over 300 planets and have a total population of 30 billion humans by 2525. Because of an inner circle that exists in Mars, known as the Enclave (The enclave were the main antagonists in the fallout series. The reason I put them in the Mars government is because in the games, it had been revealed that the enclave had originally intended to go to Mars, but were unable to in the games.), the Mars alliance is considered a totalitarian government by Citedel Council members.
The Halghast empire is a nation that exists in the Alpha Centari system. They were the first human colony outside of our solar system, and the first human colony to secede from the Mars alliance. They are an extremely militaristic, supremacist society, that believes they should control and/or wipe out, all other life in the galaxy. They are wildly hostile, and do not negotiate with any other entities in the galaxy. In 2519, the Halghast empire secretly used the Mass Relay on Pluto (Mass Relays are ancient space drive machines. That allow you to travel to the other Relays that are located far across the Galaxy) to clonoize other planets across the galaxy. Although the Helghan empire have lost communication with the colonies after the Mars allience and Citedel Council jointly took over pluto, there are at least two dozen human colonies that are heavily influenced by Helghan supremacy.
Earth: Hundreds of years after the nuclear holocaust on earth, earthlings there have only recently began space exploration. They have been admitted into the Citedel Council (Citedel Council are a unified government of alien races from mass effect), and work as the "middle man" for securing diplomacy and trade between the Citedel and the Mars alliance.
Other facts you should know:
Conduits (Humans with superpowers from the game of Infamous) are repressed by the Mars Allience and Helghast empire. On Helghan, they are considered "inferior" and are executed on sight. In the Martian allience, conduits are labeled as "terrorists" and are required to turn themselves in to the government for experimentation. By 2525, earth and Eden(Eden is the Helghast home world. Helghans call it Helghast, Earthlings call it Eden, and Mars allience call it E.D.N. III.) hold large conduit populations. On Eden, forty percent of the population outside the Helghast territory was conduit, while sixty percent of earth's total population was Conduit. This was probably due to the fact that interracial marriage was romanticized by artists and story writers on earth, and that they could share their works to Eden with help from Helios.
Helios is an advanced A.I. from the Deus Ex game. Helios moved to Eden from earth after it gained an interest in space exploration. Helios is mostly a Hive mind machine. Humans are able to link to it and become "one with the system". When people do this, they lose all sense of individuality and free will in order to attain what they call "Pure and Perfect Democracy". Today, Helios allows humans and aliens alike to merge with him to attain "perfect peace". The number of Helios followers range to several thousand.
By 2525, Mars UNSC (United Nations Space Command) army consists of:
Regular infantry: seven billion soldiers: Anyone sixteen or over are allowed to enlist: Wear standard MJOLNIR armor: takes 14 weeks of training to complete
Marines: eight hundred million soldiers: Anyone over sixteen may tryout: Wear standard MJOLNIR armor: takes 28 weeks of training to complete
ODST/Spec Ops: forty nine million soldiers: Wear standard MJOLNIR with added adjustments: must be hand picked by marines or infantry for this promotion.
Nobles: seven million soldiers: Must enlist between the age of twelve and fifteen: Wear Advanced MJOLNIR armor with advanced augmentations: takes four years of training to complete:
HeadHunters: Four hundred thousand soldiers: are handpicked from Nobles: Noble armor with more specialized settings: they function as more advanced spec ops
Spartans: eight thousand soldiers: are picked by a unique gene pool, trained at a young age by the government to be supersoldiers: Trained at birth until the age of twenty: Most advanced armor and augmentations possible by the Mars alliance. (Bonus Fact: There used to only be two thousand Spartans, but after the second colony seceded from the Martian allience, the UNSC began kidnaping helghast children to conscript them into their spartan ranks. Although helghast don't know it, helghast residents have the perfect genes for the spartan program.)
The Mars allience secretly used conduits in the ORION project as well.
Guardians: five hundred: are conduits with spartan armor. Indoctrinated at a young age to serve the alliance. Using power transfer technology, these conduits have electric, flaming, ice, and telekenetic abilities.
Zeus (From the game Prototype): twelve : Soldiers in mech armored suits. Meant to single handedly destroy armies. These are people that are as powerful as Alex Mercer.
Ancients: People who have had their DNA altered in some way by ancient aliens (DEAD SPACE/METROID). There are only four know people who are ancients. It is unknown whether they are paid mercenaries of the alliance or have been conscripted into their ranks.
Earth: Most of their military aren't as well trained as other nations are. Although the majority of citizens have weapons and close combat training, they greatly lack military discipline and chain of command. With it's government extremely decentralized, military training varies region to region. The Systems Alliance, earth's representative body that is backed by every faction under the earth banner, requires soldiers to go through 28 weeks of military training. The pre-requirements for entering the Systems alliance varies by region. Because of this, the standards for the Systems Alliance military are relatively low.
They lack the numbers of the UNSC, and the training of the Halghast. Earth instead tries relies heavily on Conduits and plasmids to give their military strength.
Earth does, however, have secret soldiers known as "Tenno" that use unknown alien nanosuits that surpasses anything else in the galaxy. Because of the rarity of resources used to make these Warframes, the number of Tenno earthlings only range to a few hundreds.
Helghast empire: Because of their militiristic rule, the majority of their population are brought up into military training. To make up for their lack of numbers, all soldiers are highly trained and are on par with UNSC Nobles.
The Council: Due to the rising tensions, the council lifts the military limitations on it's member species.
The year is 2537, you have found yourself in the middle of the Martian metropolis during the most controversial debate of the decade. As mars debates whether it should withdraw it's resources out of the outer colonies, a Covenant fleet attacks the planet of New Constantinople, an outer UNSC colony.
You are a either a faction soldier or a mercenary. Sent to mars for miscellaneous purposes.
Beginning part of RP: Character introductions. What you doing on mars? How do you fit into all of this? What are your thoughts of the Covenant attack? What will it take for you to go there?
In this RPG you make your own characters.

Powersuit: (Mercenaries are able to buy powersuits from any faction. What powersuit do you have?) (Optional)
Favorite gun: (Honestly, with all the games included, use anything you can think of.)
Favorite Melee Wapon: (fire Swords, ballistic Knives, lighsabors, gauntlet fists, chainsaw, cybernetic wolverine claws, etc.)
Favorite bomb: (Optional)
Powers: (Check rules under "power") (Optional)
There are five major government factions:
Covenent (HALO): an invading alien force known in the Halo universe. Their aim is to extinguish all humans, and to indoctrinate citadel species into their empire.
Mars Alliance (UNSC) : The Primary human faction. They have over 300 planets with a population of 30 billion. They're capital planet is Mars, and though they call themselves martians, they are best known for they're legendary spartan warriors. (HALO)
Halghast Empire (KILLZONE) : a small cluster of planets that seceded the Mars alliance. They're home planet, Eden, is extremely militaristic due to the deadly climate and the hostile inhabitants that live there (Akrid from LOST PLANET). Believing themselves superior, their goal in society is to achieve rule and/or extermination to all other humans and aliens.
Earthlings (FALLOUT) : A planet Separate from the Mars Alliance due to it's destructive history. Although it has suffered from a nuclear holocaust, they have recently been accepted into the Citadel Council. Although earth does not represent humanity as a whole, Earth is now the center of trade and diplomacy between the Mars alliance and the Citedel council.
Citedel Council(MASS EFFECT): A unison of species throughout the Galaxy that work together to ensure there is stability throughout the Galaxy. They use ancient alien technology known as, "Mass Relays" to connect different species across the galaxy.
Mercenary Factions:
Mercenaries factions: perhaps the "free-est" faction in the galaxy. They have no racial boundaries, they can be hired any time anywhere by any faction.
Master's Army: Made up of only Necro-humans and Meta-humans (Necro-humans are ghouls from Fallout, Meta-humans are super mutants from fallout). An organization that existed since the nuclear war on earth, this faction believes they are superior to standard and conduit humans. With they're massive amounts of funding from the terminus system (Outside of Citedel space) they pride themselves of taking any mercenary contract that goes against any humans. They do this so they may have the chance to forcefully infect humans with the FEV virus, a disease that will turn humans into meta-humans, therefore conscripting them into they're ranks. (FALLOUT)
Blood Pack: Made up of Vorcha and Krogans. A ruthless faction that has a gross reputation of destroying, and/or mutilating, anything within they're path. Unbound by petty things such as morality, this group prides itself in taking "untouchable" contracts.
The Blood Pack and Master's army have a "Honerable Rivals" relationship. They view each other as worthy adversaries, and although they often take contracts against each other, they'll gladly work together if asked to.
Eclipse: Made up of Asari, Salarians, and conduits. Rivals to the blue suns, this faction makes up for it's lack of discipline by putting a strong emphasis on biotics.
Blue Suns: Comprising mostly of Standard Humans, Turians and Batarians. Rivals of the Eclipse, this faction stays up to date with the latest weapons technology to make up for it's lack of biotics.
Eclipse and Blue suns often take up contracts that pit them against each other.
Independent mercenaries also exist.
Other Factions
Red Reapers: A group that accepts anyone from any race or species, they are an intergalactic gang that controls the largest drug smuggling operation in history. Although they're leader's history is shrouded in mystery, they say he's able to watch all of his gang's members through the use of a drug known as "The black tar".
Dust men: Initially a terrorist group, it was a conduit uprising against the oppression conduits faced in the Martian colonies. Within time, they lead to the full secession of martian outer colonies against the oppressive alliance. Even after the covenent destroyed Harvest and started the war against humans, the Dust men insisted that the alliance was the greater threat. It wasn't until the Covenent destroyed Charybdis IX, that the Dust men changed it's objective. Charybdis IX was the base of dust men operations, after the Covenent destroyed it, the Dust men were in complete disarray. Now, Dust men primarily spend they're time trying to defend the outer colonies from the Covenant.
First Sons: A conduit Supremest group. Unlike Master's army, the First Sons hide in the shadows to advance they're goals. They have secret funding and ties to nearly every group in the Galaxy. They use they're power to further increase they're conduit powers.
Jedi Order: On E.D.N. III, (Or the Halghast homeworld, whatever you want to call it) a group of children found ancient texts revealing an ancient order of knights that used telekinetic powers to ensure there was peace throughout the galaxy. These children, coincidentally, discovered that they had powers that were described in the texts. When they grew older, they founded the first Jedi council, comprising of not only humans and conduits, but also species from Citadel space as well. Although they're base is on Eden (We're calling E.D.N. III Eden now), they've began to take a more active roll in galactic politics. Though small, this order has proven to be very effective for they're "Heroic achievemnts" and is welcomed among most government factions
Sith Order: Utilizing the exact opposite force the Jedi Order uses, the Sith order exists to gain power within the Galaxy. While the Jedi believe one must free itself from worldly attachments, the Sith order believes it should use it's emotions to aggravate themselves to gain more power. Where as the Jedi try to ensure peace, the sith will climb for power, even if it means creating a path of destruction.
Any species can have "the Force"
Species include:
Standard Humans: Humans have no superpowers. Although humans are capable of gaining small bursts of powers because of vigors and plasmids (BIOSHOCK), only the humans from E.D.N. 3 and earth use them, it's been deemed taboo within the Mars alliance. They do, however, make up for this by using they're advanced technology. The Mars Alliance uses advanced "spartan suits" for many of they're soldiers. Earth uses Crysis suits due to traditional purposes. And the majority of all humans across all planets have augmentations to some extent. (DEUS EX)
Humans are incapable of using augmentations and vigors/plasmids at the same time. You can only have one or the other.
Human Conduits: Power levels vary. On earth, conduits are required to master the "four elements". The powers are Ice, Fire, Electricity, and telekinesis. Conduits are incapable of having augmentations.
Meta-Humans (Super mutants from Fallout): Powerful and resilient, Meta-humans have proven to be great warriors as well as great poets. Meta-humans are incapable of gaining superpowers or augmentations, but are said to have a limitless life span.
Necro-Humans (Ghouls from Fallout): As frail as standard humans, and less menacing than Meta-humans, Ghouls resemble deformed zombies in appearance. They are virtually as immortal as meta-humans, since some are still alive since world war 3.
Citedel species and Covenent species are an option. Characters from these species start off in they're own species faction. They are allowed to leave they're faction, but they can't join any of the human factions unless it's as a mercenary. (most Humans are kinda racist...)
Citedel and Covenent species are able to use Vigors/Plasmids or augmentations like standard humans do.
All armors give enhanced strenth and agility, enhanced durability, and slight healing regeneration abilities.
MJOLNIR armor: Exclusive to Martian alliance: Spartan armor typically has two abilities. Jetpacks, a propulsion system that allows the wearer to maneuver through the air. The second is armor lock, this temporarily drives all energy into a shield, making the wearer temporarily invincible.
Helghast uniforms: Helghans are notoriously famous for inflicting fear into enemies with their glowing red eyes. While lacking special assortments of spartan armor, Helghast armor is meant to provide more maneuverability and stealth than MJOLNIR armor.
Remnant armor descriptions: With the vastness of the galaxy, it's common for citizens in the outer frontiers to create their own armors using remnants of older models.
Cultural armor descriptions: Many Jedi choose to design armors based off their home worlds. This is often done out of pride, distinction, or ceremonial purposes. Earth militia is famous for it's vast amount of distinct armor sets.
Resource Integration Gear: Provides better healing than other armors, these suits are made for various purposes. Although mostly used for medics, engineers, or miners working in hazardous situations, this armor is most abundantly used in the outer colonies of the Mars alliance.
N7 Armor: Awarded by the Systems alliance after soldiers complete a grueling amount of training. Each number represents combat courses that must be completed to attain the armor. After N6 armor is given, you must complete actual combat training in off-planet combat zones to attain N7. This armor provides the same amount of protection as other Citedel armors do. After N7, soldiers are able to customize their armor's appearance.
After World War 3 ended, all scientific progress on earth came to a stop. Many government projects became lost as a result to the nuclear holocaust. The most noteworthy of which, were classified as "The X-Files". Within the files were government research that contained advanced alien technology research. After the Mars alliance ended the evacuation efforts on earth, the files were deemed as destroyed. But new reports show that earthlings may have uncovered these files, because their top agents reportedly have unique armors that have nearly impossible abilities. Some of the armors have been recovered by the black market. It has been revealed that the resources used to make them can't be found outside of earth, making the suits exclusive to earthlings. They come in class sets as follow:
Bubble bomb: Releases a small sphere that quickly regenerates anyone inside.
Hologram decoy: Creates an identical clone of yourself wherever it is dropped.
Chrono bombs(Timeshift): Similar to the bubble bomb, they create a temporary shield that disrupts time within it's range. Like the bubble bomb, it is 20 feet diameter and lasts for10 seconds. These come in three categories.
Reverse bombs: Reverse time
Stop bombs: Stop time
Slow bombs: Slow time
Conduit: Only humans are able to be conduits. Conduits have the power to manipulate the "four elements". Fire, Ice, Electricity, and Telekinesis. Although they are be able to use all four powers, all conduits have one "primary element". The element that is most efficient and virtually limitless to the conduit.
Augmentations: Augmentations is a term used for cybernetic parts. Conduits are incapable of augmentations because they would short circuit them if they used they're powers. Augmentations are able to be used by any species. The neuro augmentations are perhaps the most useful for day to day usage. Neuro augmentations give the user photographic memory, are able to slow they're perception of time, and are known for being very skilled in persuasive arguments. They also have built-in connection to the inter web. These can be used by any species.
Vigors/Plasmids: Cheaper to get then augmentations. These are drugs that allow the user to gain powers similar to conduits. Although it's only a quarter as powerful as a conduits powers, there is a very wide variety of Vigors and Plasmids that people have access to. These are illegal in the Mars alliance and Citedel space, but even there, the Black reapers have been known to supply these to the criminal underground. Any species can use Vigors and plasmids, Conduits are the only ones who don't use them because most of them believe that they're "unnecessary". Vigors cannot be used by anyone who is augmented, if they did, it would cause the body to reject any cybernetic parts he or she has.
Biotics: Superpowers given to any species when exposed to "element Zero". Most of these abilities range around telekinesis, and if one is exposed to Element Zero, there is a one in ten chance to gain these abilities. If someone does, they're telekinetic abilities will be equal to a conduits who's primary element is telekinesis. Biotics can use Vigors unless they receive augmentations.
The Force: It's unknown where this power originated from. Either way, they're telekinetic abilities are as powerful as a biotic. There are rumors that force-wielders have other abilities, but these sightings are too inconsistent to know for sure. Like biotics, they can use vigors unless they have augmented parts.
Earth: Once considered a wasteland after the nuclear holocaust, Earth has managed to rise up from the ashes and re-establish civilization. With the help of secret pre-war technologies, it has been able to achieve space flight and get admitted into the Citedel Council. With almost sixty percent of it's human population conduit (Infamous), and two-fifths of it's total population necro-human (Ghoul from fallout) or Meta-human (Super-mutants from fallout), Earth has built a resilient and powerful society. While fifty percent of it's mainland are still radioactive wasteland, new alien technologies are helping terraform these inhospitable lands.
Mars: Always considered the first step into the space age, Mars revealed promethean technology that allowed humans to colonize the stars. City-states, built either underground or in giant domes, cover the martians surface. Although the Martian alliance are considered totalitarian by Citedel standards, (thanks to an inner circle in the government called the enclave), Mars is still considered the safest and heaviest fortified planet in the galaxy (After the Citedel of course).
New Constantinople: The new capital of the outer Martian colonies. New Constantinople was the second Colony to secede from the oppressive Martian Alliance. Tired of complying to unreasonable laws, as well as the governments mistreatment of conduits, New Constantinople seceded, causing most outer colonies to follow in their fotsteps.
Eden: The first planet to be colonized outside our solar system, as well as the first planet to secede from the Martian Alliance, Eden is mysterious planet, with alien secrets that have not yet been uncovered. The Helghast empire call this world their home world. With their militaristic rule, they've been able to conquer the planets desolate frozen wastelands. Although the massive aliens such as the Locust (Gears of War) and Akrid (Lost Planet) exist beyond Helghast borders, peaceful city-states still exist outside of Halghast lands.
The basic Idea is that all video games exist in one universe. Although I already have a date and scenario in mind (As well as a few plot twists), the setting is still negotiable. I outlined most of the factions, and I already have a "twenty years later" history set up for later. If you feel the RP needs more, let me know and I'll change it. If you think something can be added to the timeline, I'll be able to add that to.
I want this to be free-roam, player-built RP. You can take anything from the games mentioned and/or add to the list I've made. Since I won't have much time to dedicate to the story, anyone willing to help mod would be much appreciated.

You have to cut me a break at Exxon 599 Washington Crossing Rd. I have to be the Leader at my OWN store lol. I'll give you the Gulf station :)
Nice avatar. Congratulations for posting 600 consecutive days, great dedication. Lets be buddies also. .Shep
A BIG CONGRATS on reaching 500k and your new titanium car! Don't give up now, you're more than halfway to your first red car! : ) Most new GBs won't make it to 1M, because most of the 8,000,000 GBs quit before they even get close to 1M! It takes a lot of dedication and persistence to climb the GasBuddy ladder to each level, but thousands of GBs do it each day! Pro GasBuddies average more than 975 points each day and also doing the weekly poll really helps a Pro GasBuddy get to the next level much sooner than 96% of the other GBs that just post gas prices occasionally or just part time! Glad to see you continue moving up in points! Keep going like a PRO Philly GasBuddy adding to your consecutive days and forum posts numbers each day! It's wonderful seeing you come back each and every day for the past 538 days as I track your progress to that 1M milestone! Have a nice week! Thanks! Ron
Congratulations on having the stamina to post for 500 consecutive days. Keep up the Great Work. Want to become buddies?? Warren {:-)
As you probably very well know, very very few GB's match their GB age with their Cons. Days! Hope you can keep it going. Wanna be buddies?? Thanks!! David..................QQ
My view is that anything that increases the available supply is a good thing. Right now there may not be enough refining capacity or demand for the oil to be used in the US. But that balance can change quickly. And in the event of a war, having ready assess to Canadian oil would be a big plus. Meanwhile. anything which adds to global supply has the potential to reduce global prices.
Hi ManOfLeisureII, Saw your good comment on "Alberta ramps up Keystone lobby". I say: The Keystone XL is NOT bringing cheap Canadian oil to the U.S. for use here to lower our prices at the pump. The oil and the refined products will be transshipped to the high paying markets in Asia. The United States citizens will not benefit. The Canadians will benefit some, Big Oil will benefit a LOT and the markets in Asia will use all of the new supply. Want to become buddies??? Warren {:-)
Hi ManOfLeisureII, You have a really nice avatar photo. Did you serve on a sub? Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)

5 Tips for Googling Like a Pro
December 6, 2013 Blog by: Rita Chaires, SEO and Social Media Manager, American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys+
Tagged with: Clarify • Estate Planning • Estate Planning Education • law firm practice management • Law Firm Systems • Legal Education • legal marketing • Practice Building Strategy • Related Operator • Rita Chaires • Search Operator • Specific
As of November 29, 2013, the number of indexed pages on the internet was over 1.37 billion pages. That's a huge amount of data to sort through when you're looking for specific information. Fortunately, Google offers several search operators that make it easier to find what you're looking for.
1. Search on a specific site
If you're looking for information from a specific site or type of site, you can narrow your search by adding site: before the domain or extension.
- If you're searching for information on living trusts, but only wanted to read articles from the ABA Journal, your search would look like this: Abajournal.com: living trusts
- If you only wanted to read articles on a government site, your query would look like this: site:gov (living trusts)
2. Search for a specific phrase
When searching for something specific, put your search parameters in quotation marks. Doing so tells the search engine to search for that explicit phrase. Searching for "law firm marketing" will return results for that exact phrase, while law firm marketing, without the quotes, will find pages that contain the words law, firm, and marketing.
3. Clarify your search
Add a hypen (-) before a word to exclude all results that include that word to clarify what you're looking for. This is helpful if your search term happens have multiple meanings. For example, searching for bass will yield results about musical instruments and fish. Searching for bass –fish will exclude all of the fish-related results.
4. Discover sites that are similar to other sites
Everyone has a favorite site. Perhaps it's a recipe site or one that focuses on college football. Wouldn't it be great to find similar sites? The related operator (related:) makes that easy.
For example, when searching related:avvo.com you won't find a link to AVVO. Instead, you'll find links to similar sites like Martindale and Justia. The related operator is a great way to find new sites to browse.
5. Find specific types of files
Search for a specific type of file, such as a Powerpoint presentation or PDF by using the filetype: operator and adding the 3 letter file extension after your search term. Searching for wills and trusts filetype:ppt will return a list of Powerpoint files related to wills and trusts.
Holiday Bonus #1: Track your packages
Especially helpful during this holiday season, this search tip can be used to find out where your packages are. Enter any UPS, USPS, or Fedex tracking number directly into the Google search bar and you'll find tracking information about your package. This is much easier than going to the individual shipping sites, especially if your packages are being delivered by multiple carriers.
Holiday Bonus #2: Check flight schedule and status
To see flight schedules to or from a particular destination, type flights from or flights to followed by the city or airport of interest. To view live arrival and departure information for U.S. flights, simply search the name of the airline and the flight number.

Celebrities Who Have Aged the Worst
This is a list of celebrities who've looked worse with age than one would expect. As they've gotten older, these stars have become more and more unattractive. We've all seen our fair share of bad plastic surgery celebs, and some of these famous people certainly fall under the same category. Those that don't create their own damage naturally. What a shame, because they actually looked pretty good when they were young. May this be a lesson for us all.

MAROON V 01.59, No. 12 Loyola University, New Orleans May 1,1981 Faculty dining room still under fire By Cindy Hite Maroon Assistant Sews Editor An open forum for students and faculty to voice views on the Senior Common Room (SCR) turned into a heated discussion Monday as one faculty member labeled the room a "country club for higher paid faculty." The forum, sponsored by the Loyola Pre-Law Society, allowed audience members to question a panel composed of two opposing sides, the acting SCR Executive Committee and the coalition opposing the amount of money spent on the SCR. The panel for the Executive Committee was represented by Dr. Dale Williams, assistant professor of history, Dr. James Watson, associate professor of philosophy, Dr. Lydia Cerullo, assistant professor of sociology, Dr. Maurice Brungardt, chairman and associate professor of history, Dr. Gary Herbert, associate professor of philosophy, and Ms. Laura Danker, head of the music library. Three members of the Executive Committee weren't present at the forum. They were: Allen I. Boudreaux, accounting professor; the Rev. Joseph H. Fichter, S.J., professor emeritus of sociology; and Dr. S.J. Makielski, chairman and professor of political science. Kevin Baker, a senior history major, and Richard Hilliard, a junior history major, represented the coalition's panel. Basile J. Uddo, civil rights ombudsman and associate professor of law, moderated as members of the audience addressed questions to the panel. Uddo said the forum's objective was not to reach an "absolute conclusion" but to communicate each side and work out disagreements. Baker made the opening comment for the coalition, saying they were in no way against the idea or concept of the room but were in opposition to the amountof money spent on decorations and subsidies. He said coalition members took this stand because they feel the SCR goes against the goal statement (the philosophy of Loyola University). Williams delivered the Executive Committee's opening remarks saying Loyola has reached a size where it can "no longer.be assumed that all the faculty know one another" and the room will benefit the university by bringing the faculty together. The Rev. Hacker Fagot, S.J., associate professor of psychology, attacked the room calling it "a country club for higher-paid faculty," and saying so far such faculty have been the room's only patrons. "The rest of us eat at Hardee's," he said. Fagot contended that a house can be bought with the amount of money spent to furnish the room, and the issue has divided the faculty instead of bringing them together. His words brought a round of applause from the audience. Brungardt defended the Executive Committee's position by pointing to Preston announces City College dean By Siegfried Zelt Maroon University Reporter Frederick John Dobney, history professor at St. Louis University, has been appointed Dean of Loyola City College, Robert Preston, vice president for Academic Affairs, announced Tuesday. Preston said Dobney's appointment will become effective Aug. 1. "It is my hope that we will move towards making City College Loyola's center for adult education and that its programs will be more flexible and innovative. That's why we got Dobney," Preston said. Preston said the search committee submitted three candidates, "and from those 1 chose Dobney." He said present Acting City College Dean Willie M. Zanders, who replaced former Dean M. Maestri who resigned last summer, will become his assistant. Dr. Dorothy Brown, associate City College professor who headed the search committee, said City College may be in for some "new directions. "The committee evaluated our present program and adult education in general in New Orleans," she said. "Perhaps we indicated some directions that have been successful in other areas that we haven't utilized yet. Our minds are not closed to the potential of new directions." In addition to being a center for adult education, City College will also include a continuing education program. Preston said continuing education "is a non-credit operation in the field of professional development. "We have decided to go into this direction in a very clear and planned way and we have found someone to take us there," he said. "So, in choosing Dobney, the choice was made to go in a particular direction." Preston said Dobney has been active in Metropolitan College which is the continuing education center at St. Louis University. At SLU, Dobney was director of the Man, Technology and Society Program and is presently director of the Copper Mountain Summer School Program. In 1979 he received the Adult Education Teacher of the Year Award Mortal attacks Loyola poll after placing a 'poor third' By Tyrone King Maroon Contributor The 1981 Public Opinion Poll, conducted by Loyola political science associate professor Dr. Edward Renwick and the Institute of Politics, recently came under sharp attack from Mayor Ernest Morial. The mayor commented on the poll, which showed him a distant third to Moon Landrieu and Jimmy Fitzmorris in the city's preference for mayor, and questioned the accuracy of the survey. Morial implied, in a recent television interview, that Loyola students conducting the poll for credit could have been a bit careless. Representatives from the Institute point out that members or fellows conducted the survey and "they are not students and Morial knows that." Renwick, who has served as Mortal's pollster, declined comment on the mayor's statement. Morial could not be reached for comment. Of nearly 500 registered voters polled, 29 percent favored Landrieu as New Orleans' next mayor, 24 percent preferred Fitzmorris, and 16 percent wanted Morial. Thirty-one percent favored other candidates, didn't know or had no preference. Fifty five percent of those polled considered Morial's performance as mayor to be fair or poor, while only 37 percent gave him an excellent or good job rating. Seven percent said they were unfamiliar with Morial's performance or didn't know. SGA President Ivan Ransopher, left, and Vice President Neat O'Toole, center, were inaugurated at Tuesday's Student Government Association meeting by retiring President Robert Buras, right. Ransopher's first duty as president was to install the 1981-82 SGA Congress. — Photo by Mark Botello i SGA Inauguration See Dean/page 2 See Forum/page 12 See Poll /page 2 This is the final issue of the 1980-81 Maroon.

Penélope Cruz was left alone to bask in the glow of the overwhelmingly positive reception of her film Vicky Cristina Barcelona at the Cannes Film Festival this past weekend, since her costars Scarlett Johannsen and Javier Bardem didn't make it to the red carpet affair. Javi had a personal family matter to attend to, but ScarJo opted out of a Cannes appearance because of a dispute with VCB producers over her accommodations.
Say what you will about Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo (and we're sure football fans have a mouthful), but the man is a gentleman. Whether or not those rumors that Tony dumped Jessica Simpson are true, he showed up in L.A. this weekend to escort Jess to her sister Ashlee's wedding to Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz.
American Idol's never seen anything like Jason Castro. When the 20 year-old Texan-colombiano entered the juggernaut singing competition this year strumming a guitar and sporting dreadlocks down to his ribcage, he seemed doomed for an early, Danny Noriega-like elimination.
Even though they're, like, totally dunzo, Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo may be reuniting for Jess's sister Ashlee Simpson's shotgun wedding to Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz this weekend. According to Us Weekly, Jessica's father Joe Simpson "has called Tony and asked him to come to show support for the wedding" after Tony didn't show up for Pete's bachelor dinner at L.A. eatery Mr. Chow.
