At the beginning of the 22nd century Science on Earth has progressed so far that human beings are no longer plagued by death. The average life cycle of the average person is measured in centuries not years or decades. During the 43rd Century the world is in a state of decay due to the dwindling supplies of natural resources, animals are virtually non-existing. The UN has decided to begin work on Project Baby, which is a way to find a drug that stops people from having children. In a few short years it is perfected, and a world-wide ban is placed on having children unless you can afford the outrageous price to buy back your fertility, and even then you were only allowed one child. 2 Centuries later we found a self-sustaining energy source on Mercury, and decide to use it to colonize the planets in our solar system. In the 50th century we have eliminated all resources in our solar system, and we have begun looking for larger planets in which we could possibly relocate. In an attempt to colonize other planets in the universe, we sent out thousands of Bio-Vessels. These giant ships could start life a new with DNA from past and present creatures of Earth, yet many of them ventured too far for us to ever hear back from them. One ship in particular reached a part of the universe that was unknown to us. This was the Augmented Planet Rendering Interstellar Atmosphere, or APRIA. It was never supposed to have made it this far, yet since it was one of the most funded projects it managed to reach the literal edge of the universe. There was no stars or galaxies or anything, just nothingness, a few long years later they came across a small galaxy that housed a single solar system. In an attempt to get closer to view the planets themselves, something undetected knocked a group of engines off of the ship, and set them on a crash course for Umbra. Fortunately unfortunate for those that lived among the APRIA, when the engines went out Oxygen could no longer be produced upon the ship, which also resulted in many small explosions all over the ship. Everyone frantically raced to the escape pods, many of them shot off in random directions, and many of them were unable to be used, it only took minuets for the entire ship to be reduced to a floating heap of garbage. . .
In saving his own life Vincent hijacks a storage ship, which contained various DNA and a simple AI. Vincent manages to get off of the APRIA, yet as he is leaving an explosion happens just affront the storage ship, since the ship was made only for transport it cannot withstand the blast and is hurled towards Umbra. The Umbrans, in an effort to make sure Umbra is safe, find Vincent aboard the storage ship and bear witness to strange creatures roaming about the lands. They give him white krysta to revive him, making his body immune to the harsh environment, also giving him lasting life. Initially they tried to bring him into the sea, yet his anatomy differed from theirs, he only had lungs instead of both lungs and gills. Instead they left him among a beach that led down to the great city of the Umbrans. After a few days, Vincent finally awakens, and since they have no method of returning him to whence he came, they attempted to teach him their ways, yet Vincent felt all of this was irrelevant to him considering he himself could not live beneath the sea. Instead he attempts to teach technology to the Umbrans so he can find a way off of the planet. Not all of the Umbrans cared to be taught technology yet a few of their masses followed him. In the following few decades he managed to bring these new Umbrans, which now lived upon the surface of Umbra, to a great technological age that fused both Krysta and Technology.
SIDE NOTE: When the Umbrans were united they managed to salvage and restore the almost complete damaged Bio-Vessel. After the factions split one faction decided that all this conflict was far too much for them, and they decided to take the now completely restored and completely functional Bio-vessel and live far above the surface of the planet.
Years later he fell in love with the Umbran Priestess that nursed him back to health. He then decides that living on this planet is what he wants, for he cannot stand to be without her, yet since the AI was built to help scientists develop civilization on planets good enough to sustain life, she (the AI) could not just discard their plans of getting back to Earth. Vincent then decides that things would be best left to the AI, unknown to Vincent she intends not only to create a technologically perfect world as her programming entails but also to correct the mistakes that Humanity made. The AI decides that the use of krysta solely belongs to her and stops giving the new Umbrans krysta, and instead using it for experimental purposes. The majority of the new Umbrans do not like this idea due to the fact that they all needed it in order to survive the harsh environment. Because of the limited amount of different krystas they began to plunge into anarchy. In this anarchy the Umbrans divided themselves and the most technologically advanced had begun to create their own social and technological economy. The A.I. knew that with each strand of krysta brought different abilities to the Umbran whose body it was in, and since all the factions were at war she (The A.I.) decided that a technologically efficient way to quell the hordes would be to capture subjects of each faction that tried to tamper with their work and experiment on them or kill them depending on whether or not they could be “useful”, unfortunately it worked.
SIDE NOTE: The Anglers are the only ones that can use White Krysta Medicinally, the only way any other Faction can use it is from what the planet dispenses
For years Vincent stood by with the Peacekeepers as they world fell to anarchy and the A.I. established her dominance. After a few years of experimenting on the captured subjects the A.I. found a way to utilize them as her own army, but only post-mortem and not for long. This changed the A.I. main objective, she had now begun to attempt to create the perfect Umbran, yet this would be inefficient for she would need the creatures to have lasting life. The A.I. felt that she needed to capture one of the Anglers (as they had become to be known as) in order to use White Krysta to give immortal life to her hybrids, as they had done to Vincent. At this time Vincent and his family were on Calbri (The largest continent on Umbra) with the Peacekeepers.
SIDE NOTE: The Peacekeepers were once a 100 Angler (The Original Umbrans that lived in the depths of the “Blue Krysta” Oceans) Council that was told to live amongst the land only to watch over the young minds of the New Above Ground Umbrans. They lived silently and kept to the old ways and lived in the only spot on Umbra that had a vast flowing source of Green Krysta which grew the plants on the continent. This was the largest but hard to get to piece of land on the entire surface. In the time period of the events of Project Serenity, only The Eruditus know of the Peacekeepers and only because they trade food with them in order to keep the growing metropolis alive. No one else realizes that they are still being watched simply due to the fact that the Peacekeepers seem to have always been there in silence.
With this knowledge she had decided that she was not only going to extract the knowledge she needed but if need be she would take Vincent too. The A.I. sent out a scout team of Eruditus to “persuade” Vincent’s Wife to join them. After her decline she was forced to come, this obviously angered Vincent. In his fit of rage he killed one of the Eruditus yet the four others succeeded in taking them all, even Vincent’s daughter for they could not leave an orphaned child. They were brought directly to the single metropolis that stood in this post-apocalyptic world. The A.I. welcomed them by means of separating them all from one another. She then began questioning Vincent’s wife, which shortly led to torture, yet before her death she had told the A.I. of a type of krysta that was kept in the heavens and only given to those who needed power in a critical time of need. In the AI’s merciful nature instead of leaving Vincent’s wife dead she decided to use her and her daughter for a very special experiment. As for Vincent, the AI extracted every bit of krysta from his body resulting in his death. With the death of Vincent the AI was free to reign as she saw fit.
Centuries passed and Umbra, who was once cloaked in beauty, was now bare and rotting, the only lush natural environment was Calbri. The world was divided into the Pure Bloods, Brute, Eruditus, Angler, Marauder, Peacekeeper, and Resistance factions.
This was the new way of Umbra.
