I've bounced this idea around in my head long enough.
idea
This is an alien invasion thread, sorta. The plot is aliens show up today, abduct a few 100 people. These people aren't experimented on, they are enslaved. They are stripped naked injected with Nano bots and put into a vat. When they come out they are super strong and under mind control. In this state the aliens use them to take over the world in ten years. Then something strange happens the Aliens disappear and the mind control departs with them. This thread is the story of those soldiers trying to understand the world they unwittingly created.
Characters
Some where between the vat and the nano bots, the soldiers are clearly marked. They all look very similar: blue hair, lightly tanned skin free of blemishes, no body hair, finely toned bodies free of bulk, height between 5'6" and 6'3", weights between 100 and 200 lbs. and unless one is standing naked in front of you it is hard to guess ones gender. Each does have a few key differences, first the process didn't effect their voices. Next the hair on there heads can be any length or style and range from almost white to almost black. And Finlay perhaps the most interesting thing, while there left eye is always a deep blue there right eye is exactly the same as before the process of becoming a soldier.
powers and examples
Here I am going to explain a few basic soldier types. Your free to play one these types, I myself will play one. If you so choose PM an idea for a kind of soldier types you'd like to play and we'll discus it.
Infantry, these are the grunts and comprise the largest number of troops. They react much faster then a normal human and are 4 to 5 times stronger then a normal human. In addition to being much more durable, their internal nano bots, (given nutrients and time,) can heal them from all but fatal injuries and lost limbs. The standard gear which most still have included two main parts, a sword made out of a clear blue crystal of some sorts, the sword is nearly indestructible, the only hint that it isn't indestructible is that it changes shape slowly over time, to match the wielders fighting style, as such what was originally broad sword shaped has become katana shaped to some and foil shaped to others. The second piece is a remarkable armor composed of nano bots, (different kind from those injected in each soldier,) The armor responds to the wearers commands changing shape and form to react to attacks and needs, forming ski's for snow, fins for swimming, and Shields for blocking.
Armor, these are what the aliens used to take out tanks and bunkers. How the aliens came up with DNA codes to do this is any ones guess. They look like normal soldiers most of the time, and there powers aren't two different from standard heavy infantry although reaction speed is slower and they seem weaker, and in fact are less durable. The key to there power is an alternate form, they can change shape in about 3 seconds, doubling in size and gaining an exoskeleton, in this form they are more durable and able to lift over a ton, in addition a special organ moves air threw their bodies allowing them to hover for a few seconds, bursts of 10 or so, but it is hard for them to stay in this form fatiguing them quickly, (longest known time in this shape was roughly 30 minutes.) Being a shaper shifter they are able to heal quicker then heavy infantry, and also posses the ability to regrow lost limbs. They have one piece of alien gear, in their normal shape it appears to be a staff that requires two hands to use, transformed it fits well in one hand but two could be used. When it is swung it creates an inertia bubble in front of it capable of crushing or punching threw buildings and armor alike, the size of the bubble is dependent on the force behind the staff.
Scouts, these guys scouted and preformed long range fire support for other troops. They have abilities weaker then heavy infantry and stronger then heavy armor, before heavy armor transforms. They also have the most alien gadgets. First of which is there main weapon, a gun about the size of a human forearm, called an omni blaster. It fires a mix of ions and electro magnetic waves, (radio waves, light, gamma rays, etc.) and can be set to knock out electronics or blow things up. It is powered by a small fusion reactor requiring about a liter of water for every 50 to 200 shots fired, depending on the kind of shot. They have an armor that appears similar to chain mail with eclectic wires woven in it. The armor can stop a fair amount of force, (all bullets, no tank shells,) and the armor can channel away harmful energy, from electricity to omni blaster fire. Finlay their shoes have Contergravs built in, when activated they don't generate lift but do counter 90% of the wearers weight allowing for running up wall's and incredible leaps.
All alien gear has nano bots inside designed to repair them if they break, often requiring and hour to a week if th item is completely destroyed. I apologies for the numbers, there are alot of them, I include them, for a rough idea, not an iron clad law.
Other things
These are things I feel are important but didn't place else where. If it should come up the aliens look like the classic greys. Small mouth big black eyes hairless, skinny frail bodies. Any idea why they left, is speculation. (Other then the reason I have in mind, and won't tell.)
The soldiers while under mind control were virtuly asleep. They don't recall any of it, except in times of intense cognitive activity in which case their minds partly woke up, the result is dream like memories. Which means while they are vivid and full of detail, after a few minutes all of the details are gone and after a few more minutes you remember you had one but little of what it was about. Despite having virtually no memories of the past ten years, and not aging, they have learned to control the alien gear on a subconscious level.
Telekinetic and the like are aloud, their are probably soldiers designed for that, but I didn't post an example. PM if this is your thing.
