Since I started this forum I feel obligated to continue it's existance. I thought we could do a neverending story-type dealy here, only it will be sci-fi themed. So if you don't know how this works, I'll start teh story by writing a paragraph or two and then someone can continue it by writing some more. Please have fun with it.
Time was quickly slipping by into oblivion. The darkness of night was overtaking the soft glow of the sun, creating a mysterious reddish/purple glow below the now star-filled sky. A shadowy figure slowly crosses the empty street heading to the bar called "Ender's Den."
"Ender's Den" was known to everyone as a scum-filled galley that bred ruthless and hardened criminals. Every soul in the building gets their attention pulled to the entrance as the door swings open so hard that it snapped off of it's hinges. The silouette in hte door frame slowly materializes into a human the light of the bar catches up with the mysterious figure.
With the figure now totally visible, the bar patrons gasp in horror as they see the man's half-mangled exoskeleton. Large metal plates covered the entire left side of his body and then some. The metal plates advanced all the way up to the lower left side of his faced, covering half of his mouth. The plates seemed to be integrated with his living flesh. Plenty of scars could be seen across both his flesh and exoskeleton leaving a dark, gritty appearance.
The bar patrons continued their lost gazes on the unknown. Startled, someone dropped their mug of ale as the man's left leg hissed sharply and opened to reveal a massive, intimidating plasma rifle. Grabbing the rifle from his leg, the man spoke in a half metallic half human voice, "My name is Vrax. I have come here in search of four able-bodied adventurers. The danger will be great, the road; dangerous, but the pay shall be considerable."
By this time, many of the patrons had already pulled out there sidearms, most being just petty low level laser pistols either in hopes o defense or in hopes of a fight. Vrax continued to scan the room when all of a sudden somebody stood up and said....
P.s.-I was kinda slipping into a sleep as I was writing this, so if the grammar and detail gets progressively worse as it goes along, please excuse it, lol.
