This is a role - playing thread, like Masters of War, and Laser War. But this one is different; it is based on a novel I am currently writing. In this An alien race known as the Xortac, had taken over Earth over 100 years ago, and almost all of humanity was destroyed.

Human cities are wastelands and abandoned, lifeless and quite. Home only to the the creatures that wish to be forgotten and disappear. Earth has become a trade world for the Xortac. They constructed space ports scattered across the surface and aliens from all around the galaxy come to Earth to trade and enjoy themselves in these wonderful space ports that functions as a self contained mega malls with every store imaginable.

Life for humans is a different affair. The Human race is hunted by the Evil Robots designed by the Xortac to inflict fear. Machines that resemble the darkest nightmares of humankind. One of the worst of these is a grim reaper like creature that has a device that makes it invisible... till it strikes, with a deadly long curved sword, it quietly rips apart its victims with careful brutal efficiency. Followed by the hooded brethren the death solders. Theses creatures armed with ranged alien weapons hunt down and destroy human camps and hideouts. The number of kinds and variants of these machines are many and countless. A few humans have survived to form a residence to these horrors. And fight a losing gorilla war againced these monstrosities of alien creation. Known as the Terran Resistance, they fight with whatever they find, be it weapons form humanity before the invasion, be it old ruins in the canyons, or even stolen alien technology. The Fight for survival is doomed to ultimate failure....

<TO BE CONTINUED>

This might be fun, even though it doesn't seem to have room for magic.

There are no Worthogs, this is a different universe to Halo. But there are bugies, like the ones from half - life, made from rusted car parts. There is also tanks and alian flyers. Called "Hellhummers". Hellhummers are armed with twin laser cannons and have a high powered anti-gav system that makes them highly manoverable.

I'll be the leader of the Terran Resistance, a commanding officer that leads the last Austalian military resistance. Supersniper is leader of the ninjas that have battled the evil horror robots across the globe.

What I mean by this is a war simular to that of the Marine on halo, vs. the Convenient. Where the enemy forces are so -Blam-ing huge that the only way to survive is to fight off all forces that attack, and target key installations with specialised teams of solders. The Terran Resistance is too small to launch a full-scale attack, and they are slowly loosing the war as they have more losses than victories.

(Off - topic) Sorry I'm late, My mom was on the phone for 2 -blam!-ing hours!!

Heres the deal: (Back on topic)

It was a sunny morning at the camp. Old caravans parked all over the place. People talking and socialising around the small bush hiding place. The only entrance to this Eden in the middle of a woodland forest is an old dirt road leading up a tree-covered hillside. At the other end of the road lies an old wooden bridge going across a small canyon. Next to the bridge on the side were the camp lies, there is a 4 story high ruin of a steel and concrete building, the old ones say its from an era when humans ruled over Earth. A skyscraper they called it. The valley is littered with steel ruins on the other side of the canyon. A place we dare not tread as the Robot Demons prow the skies searching for victims. We know not to go there. So we don’t. The camp was a buzz of activity this morning as I walked out of my tent holding my Rifle ready for another day of quite guard. Above me in the treetops in a make shift crows nest laid my third in command. He was an armed with a sniper rifle. He singled me that the cost was clear, and I took out my radio and said 'Ok, all out double time!' Suddenly a gust of dirt spitted up from the ground as a trap door opened and my team tiredly stepped out, some yawning others skating themselves. One said to me 'Serge, there's nothing around... why now I was getting some sleep...' I interrupted 'Shut up David, I want everyone at their post, you heard me, GET TO IT!' They all grudgingly moved to their posts. I said 'I hope this will be an uneventful day'.
