Some of them agreed while others didn't wish to learn a language they should never need after the ship was decommissioned and the remains were hidden in a bunker away from the city. the scientists and some workers set off to get set up on a remote location thousands of miles away. every 5 years they would broadcast their progress on their main project. again life returned to being simple until... the year is 3268. Vincent is born and only 2 weeks later Vera is born in the same city too, these are the first 2 humans to be born since 3254 in this civilization and makes public news. These children had been ensured a long life through several support chains as it would seem humans in this colony are slowly losing the ability to reproduce due to their situation. some time passes. Vincent had shown to be incredibly intuitive able to learn incredibly fast and was already speaking fluent English at the age of 3 and had basic galactic standard nailed down at the age of 10. Vera seems to be gifted as well with an incredible immune system having never gotten sick until she was 12 and even then she only caught a cold for a few days (though she thought she was dying as she didn't know what being sick was). the year is now 8279. Vincent always had dreams of exploring space throughout his life and even though he knows it probably won't happen and his society is mostly non-violent (only having enforcers for the odd crime that does happen). begins using an antique golf club he found to practice "swordsmanship" in the case he ever does get to leave the planet, the only person who knows about this is his childhood (and only) friend Vera. they are both very good friends mostly because they are the only people of their age, however that probably didn't affect their odds of friendship anyway since they are like 2 peas in a pod, their colony reopened school for them when they were of the right age to have school and they lived a normal life of school and typical kid things until the day it started... The year is 8281 its Vincent's birthday and during the celebration, a sudden emergency broadcast comes on every television and radio everywhere. its an emergency broadcast from the lab during the research for the H.I.P. project (Human Immortality Pursuance) their reactors had a critical failure and are incapable of preventing an imminent meltdown. the broadcast states their issue and that they are sorry before a loud boom is heard outside. the government of the now called NHC (new human civilization) takes over the announcement after this but most went outside to see what the noise was about. in the distance, they could see the sky yellowing and a mushroom cloud. the lab was far enough away to inflict any damage via the explosion or radiation, but that wasn't the danger, after everyone saw what had happened they rushed inside to get instructions (well those who didn't go full panic did) the government explained that for the last year they dropped all projects and went overtime into the H.I.P. project at the lab, it was about halfway finished and they figured that if they pushed it they could get it done, their exact reason for doing this was to make it for as many people as possible but as blatantly seen haste makes waste, now not only will it never be finished whatever they did have made is being blown into our air and atmosphere as we speak, and we will disclose what that means from the progress logs they had sent us a week ago. the fact they were being upfront scared people, usually a big problem would be covered up but the fact they are being so open didn't seem good. Vincent was terrified as was Vera, his 13th birthday and now they didn't know what was happening when just minutes ago everything was perfect. the president came back on with the logs and explained the truth of what is going to happen. the H.I.P. project was being done in 2 parts. the fail-safe was first, the fail-safe was designed to allow anyone to set a designated death time and change it since as anyone who has pictured immortality knows. true immortality is possibly worse than only having a life span of 80 years. the H.I.P. was something that was gonna be launched into the air as soon as it was completely cleared and safe the fail-safe half and immortality half would be combined and meant to work together. they both would be inhaled and enter into the bloodstream through the oxygen the fail-safe being a nanomachine that's invisible to the immune average system and would be directly controllable by the host of said nanomachines through their increased neurological power that the immortality half would give. the immortality half was planned to enter through the blood and massively and permanently increase the mental and physical attributes of the human it entered, without changing their appearance. however the failsafe only needs to be in the bloodstream to be active. it cant be sensed by the body unless the said person had the enhancements that came with the unfinished half. and now through that explosion, the entirety of that world is covered in a minor fog. which actually is an unfathomable number of dormant nanomachines the way the fail-safe workes is to enter the blood through the air and activate upon touching human blood. once it does that it begins massively reproducing itself into a bunch of even more minuscule machines, like a bacteria but mechanical by using the little bit of unused processing and metal they were manufactured with they could infinitely reproduce upon being activated and it only took 1 day for them to be entirely within the bloodstream. then at the desired date (default of 6 years exactly [accounting for leap years based on the date of activation] easily changeable by a host who has enhanced mental perception to see them) they would all begin draining and evaporating the blood into themselves causing guaranteed death within at the very most 3 days. upon hearing this the masses were at a loss. looking over they could see exactly what was being talked about as they saw a cloud of white slowly being pushed toward them on the horizon from the explosion point. upon breathing once that had reached you that was it, you had a death timer of 6 years, the air has a metallic taste and smell to it at all times after that day, it sort of fit the mass depression everyone went into. after a year since it happened, they got their first emergency broadcast since the event happened this one, however, was not only broadcast but was a speech being held in the capital relatively close to where Vincent and Vera lived so everyone in that vicinity went to see it in person. everyone listened praying for a glimmer of hope. no one had told Vera and Vincent of the situation yet, however, they knew and just put on happy faces to try and bring morale up a bit, but what was about to be said was gonna change the life of Vincent forever. it was pretty obvious no one wanted to leave the planet, their culture was and always would die before abandoning what they knew and loved, however, they needed to do something and the presidents announcement said it. they would be sending out a small group of people in 4 years to search for a cure and were looking for volunteers. no one wanted to volunteer as they all were elderly or too old to have that kind of pressure. and they would have to learn how to pilot and at least basic combat and basic galactic social skills in only 4 years. that's when Vincent knew he was the only viable candidate. only being 14 he said he would volunteer. his parents immediatly disapproved but he looked at them with a fire in his eyes and said "We are all doomed to extinction in 5 years regardless won't you atleast let me try I've always wanted to see whats out there and I might aswell Figure out while trying to save us all rather than let us all die laying down." the crowd in the area cheered him on and the parents responded with a coy answer of "well we could let you learn stuff like combat and social etiquette on the planet using some of the left over stuff those scientists had on their ship when they arrived since thats just a teenagers curiosity, so long as you keep your normal classes aswell that is, and if some engineers wanted to make a passion project out of said ship and on your 18th birthday you happened to go off into space on a suicide mission well we cant stop you at that age since your an adult." he smiled and nodded saying "thank you" as he along with everyone got the hint Vera also attempted to volunteer and her parents wouldnt allow it as they couldn't bear to lose her before their combined parting and, she couldn't even leave on her own, like Vincent, as the only ship would be leaving 2 weeks before her 18th birthday, she was dissapointed by the turn of events but resolved to help Vincent train for the day. time passes yet again... morale seemed better than ever with this new beam of hope and finally, the last day before Vincent left came. the year is 8286 and Vincent is saying his goodbyes to everyone in case he doesn't get the chance tomorrow. he found Vera crying behind her house after searching for a bit in the damned fog. "sad that I'm leaving" he asked "what do you think" Vera replied with an agitated tone "calm down" he said in his normal charming way, ironically that made her smile a bit she turned around hugged him and said "I'm going to miss you ya know" and Vincent replied "Trust me I know and I'm going to miss everyone too" after that he went home and went to bed. It was the final day he left as soon as he woke up to get ready to leave. He had studied everything he needed to pilot the ship and the basic galactic etiquette books they had on board. As Vera wanted to help as much as possible she helped him with his cultural studies and she had a vague idea but no one else did as they seemingly didn't care to. 4 years of direct training all about to be put to the test. He entered the ship. prepared to launch. Turned his head right. Gave a thumbs up towards the window (that even he doubted anyone saw) and set off. he has 1 year. 1 year to find a cure for himself and his entire home planet. His family told him in private to just take this as a new start and find a cure, and new home, for himself, however, he couldn't live with himself if he left them all behind.After lifting off he dialed in the return home coordinates the ships old captain log had though slightly altered as to not return directly to where it was sent to avoid starting on a bad foot. And set off to look for a cure. On going story: after a small amount of time vincents ship teleporter lit up. it seemed to have picked up a few signals to go to so he decided to take a chance and go to the first one. it brought him to a planet that seemed safe and on said planet he found a tavern looking building that said winstons on the front, he went in and met a kind and helpful avian and after getting nowhere asking if they knew any scientists who specialized in humans, asked if there was some kind of "space internet" and the avian mentioned if he has a device it should be able to access something called the nexus. thinking back on it he remembers something that reminded him vaguely of a laptop in the ships storage but paid no mind to it during the rush of leaving after the leaving the tavern he went back to his ship to see if this "nexus" would have any leads... UPDATE: Vincent may have found a lead, but is too tired to pursue it immediatly. before going to bed Vincent makes sure to write down the coordinates of his home colony before he forgets them and stores them in the secret storage he has his broken club in before resting.

NOTE: I do not know what the weird 1. is about in the history section but i cannot remove it for some reason so I have to leave it there if you know how to remove it please inform me. EDIT: werid 1. is gone still just as confused End note: I am suspending this character for the time being and will play it off if i ever come back to this but ive been very busy and making a time limit character at the time was a mistake. If i come back and still wish to use this character I will figure out what im doing going forward Thanks for checking this out and please leave criticisms if you have them this is my first character sheet and I really want to know what i can do better and what parts i should focus consistency on for the future.
