GM Overview: Alright, so check it. The world of HU is contained within a megaverse, with all the parallel worlds and universes you can imagine, this just happens to be one of them. So, throw off your own views and take a seat. This world was formed from a childhood love, but please read and see if it tickles your fancy anyhow.
--------------------------------------------------------
Story Intro:
In an unknown portion of the void, a tear in the dimensional fabric of space & time begins to expand. Dimensional walls erected ten millenia ago shatter from the might of an ancient force. A sleek dark ship flies through the opening and into the new region. Spearlike in appearance and of a very alien design, dark and forboding, the ship's onboard A.I. alerts its master of a disturbance.
A military vessel passess into range. The vessel pours illegally stolen ID signitures to confuse any would be law enforcers. The scum of the universe, rogues, thieves and cutthroats are all what these pirates represent. They are the feared "Devils Fist", a group who's known as mercenies at best, murderers at worst. They engage stealth, emmiting barely anything that would be recognizeable as a ships signiture. Already its too late, from the alien ship descends hundreds of smaller vessels. Neither ship is destroyed, but the victor is clear. The smaller vessels disable the pirate ship. The alien ship makes contact with the pirate vessel, wanting to welcome its new victims with wide arms.
In another portion of the galaxy, in a region not yet fully touched by alien civilizations, a small blue planet sits. It's moon hovers protectively around it, showing battle signs of previous encounters that would have dealt a dangerous blow to the then evolving species. On its surface lays a forgotten relic, small and seemingly fragile, but more dangerous than one would expect. It is a cube in shape, just barley larger than a bowling ball. For a moment longer, it would sit as it has for ten millenia. Now a wave of malice, who's vocal point is lightyears away, washes over it and destroys the magic that kept it as is. A series of lights flash out, then soar to the planet below, releasing an evil that history long forgot.
A being awakes. It has felt the presence of another it thought long defeated. Quickly it forms tangible substance, initiating a plan thought long ago. It reaches the material plane and lets itself wrap around the essence of life. It searches for something, and quickly it finds it. Items spread around the planet in preperation of this event sit, waiting for the day some hoped never would come again. The items then enter their activation state, a state not felt since their previous use 10,000 years ago. The being watches a grid, the energies in the grid form and power each item. Now, the being needs only find the descendants of the items previous owners, and then the fight for the survival of the planet can begin.
---------------------------------------------------------
The Items will be described in a few moments. These items are one of a kind and are up for grabs with whoever grabs'em first. Keep in mind though, one item per person, though there may be special cases which bring both advantages and disadvantages.
