Gears of War: Humanity's Stand

Poke: N

This is a RPG based upon the video game series, Gears of War. The time is is the near future three years after E-Day before Marcus Fenix and Delta Squad. Humanity is fighting monsters that came out of the earths crust when humanity was drilling for oil. You can be either Locust or Cog soldier (Human). This RPG is going to center around the struggle Humanity is facing. Before E-day Humanity was fighting over earths diminishing resources and they have just formed an alliance. The average weapon a Locust and Cog carry is a Lancer battle rifle. Its pretty much a machine gun with a chainsaw baonet. The setting can be all over the world. But it has an apocolyptic feel on account that the Locust bassicly dig tunnels in the ground and come out on the surface and can overrun entire citys that way. Locust also have creatures that they use in battle. Such as the Brumak, a huge dnosaur like creature and the Corpser, a giant spider like creature. The Cogs have Centaur tanks and transports along with the Raven helecopter. Well that should be about it I think. Have fun role playing.

Humanity is very predictable. Since they've been primitive nomadic hunters they've always been a quarriling race and have always found some reason to fight. Just like they were, fighting the last war, fighting each other as always. They're thirst for power drove them into war over natural resources. Slowley, they need and thirst for their resources drove them to far. While they drilled for oil they found the wells were empty. They dug deeper into the earth releasing somthing beyond their worst nightmare. The Locust army. Humanity was forced to join together. Will they be able to win this war where losing means complete exctinction? Humanity's stand has begun.

Dreg Tunan sat under the shade of a tree. He was gazing at the only thing he could remember his parents by. A torn, black and white photo. His parents died three years ago in an atack on his city. The Locusts had attacked his city on Emergence day, when the threat of extinction was now fully realised by the human race. They were fighting just for a small chance the human race might survive. Dreg had run from his home, leaving his parents to die. "Well lookie here!" A voice said. Dreg looked up and saw a sargent standing in front of him. Dreg quickly stood up in attention. "Whats youre name son?" "Dreg Tunan." "At ease soldier. I'm sargent Joshua, welcome to the platoon."Thanks Sargent Joshua." "Just call me Josh, not any of that sarge shit. Follow me and we'll get you a weapon. Youre first patrol is tommorow. Follow me."

Aqua stood on a rise, taking in the scene below him. A vast city, decimated. A foul breeze blew across the ruins, blowing his blue hair back. He stared for a moment, then leaped off the rise onto a narrow platform below. He continued like this until he was standing right above the ruins. He knelt down, and sifted through the ashes, searching for something. He found it.

"Footprints" He breathed.

Something had been here. And recently. He stood up, and leaped down into the ruins. As he jumped, he slipped slightly. Aqua fell, landed on his hands and flipped onto his feet.

"Damn" he muttered under his breath, then a gleam of blue caught his eye. He bent down, and wiped away the dirt. in his hands sat a engraved sapphire, with the word "Aqua" sketched in it.

Someone had know he'd be coming.

Dreg had walked out of the armory. A brand new Lancer strapped to his back. THe chainsaw was razor sharp and had not been used. Dreg walked down to the mess hall and got lunch.

After he left he went back to his barrack and looked at a map that showed the patrol they would be doing in a nearby ruined city. He looked at his armor. It was brand new and he had cross'es carved into the chest plate, helmet, wrist gauntlets and arm armor. After looking over his supplies he went to sleep.

The next mroning he was awoken by fellow cogs and they all piled onto a transport with weapons and full armor. "Alright boys our mission today is to clear out any Locusts that may be occupying the city." Sargent Joshua said. "Just keep youre head down, keep moving and stay calm. You'll be calm. The rest of the trip was silent.

The troops got off the transports and entered the city. "Are you nervous?" Dreg was startled by another Cog. "Well? Are you?" "Yeah... first patrol for me" Answered Dreg. "Me too. Names Micheal by the way." "Nice to meet you Micheal." They walked in silence for the next few minutes. Then, Gunshots peirced the silence. "Locusts! Get down!" Joshua yelled. Dreg dove behind a car and loaded his Lancer.
