2019, April 3 2:33. That was the exact time and date the Alien invasion began.
It was a masterpiece of martial co-ordination, simultaneously all the governing bodies of the world's countries were targeted and destroyed. Leaders were assassinated, buildings destroyed. Anyone with any sort of authority on earth was killed. Even local officials were assassinated and local government buildings annihilated. Our head was severed and we didn't even know we were being killed.
In turn they took out communication, power plants and then isolating and destroying pockets of trained military resistance. Legions of marching metallic android solders, red visors covering an almost skull like face,terrifying winged metal shock troops and all sorts of other horrors. They became known as the Asura Fortunately, we were able to use their own technology against them, put up some resistance at least.
However, it seemed to only be delaying the inevitable. I have no idea how many of us died in the fight against them, how many of our number fell to their relentless march. In the end, it came to a final stand. Our new underground leaders resolved to give them hell before earth fell. On the fields of France, the Urban sprawl of New York, the ruined city of Beijing, the sands of the Arabian desert and countless other fields what was left of humanities resistance gathered, the surviving military and the countless ex-civilians, conscripted by circumstance into a war for the survival of our race. Everyone that could stand and fight got ready to do just that, and likely die in the process.
However, as if the resistance had gathered in the nick of time, the saviours arrived. The Aheani. They descended upon the massed Asura like Angels, fighting them off and saving what was left of humanity. The remainder of humankind praised their new saviours, though some of them might have held their cheers if they knew what was coming next.
The Aheani gave the leaders of the resistance two options. For the Aheani to leave humanity as it was. or for the humans to join the Aheani among the stars, and to become their client race. Blinded by the glorious technology of our saviours and the possibility of making humanity strong, they agreed to the latter.
We soon found out becoming a "client race" turned out to be more of a conscription. For some reason, the Aheani saw our potential to make fierce warriors. The entirety of the human race soon became a race of solders, serving under the Aheani. They've certainly made us strong. Ancient Lost Aheani tech, Aheani type Power Armour and Genetic Engineering have all made us formidable indeed.
Now, three hundred years later, we remember how consent bound us to this fate. Some are glad this is the way we are, some secretly curse the Aheani, very few work to free our race of their chains. Most… Most of us are too focused on the hardships of war to care about things like the fate of our race.

So, this rp will be about humanity that has been conscripted and "improved" by an alien race and you will be one of the few students who graduated at the top of the War Academy's Gold class. As a result, you've all been selected for a new military division. A special core of the very elite assigned to the most dangerous and most difficult missions.
Rules
No Godmodding, Metagaming or anything of the sort
Avoid Mary Sues and Gary Stus. Their not fun.
No OOC in the IC.

Cores
Humanity is divided into three hundred Cores, which determines whom you'll be fighting with and whom you've spent the majority of your life with, as they've trained and raised you. Cores can be small and specialised or large and versatile, but either way you'll usually have an intense rivalry with the humans of other Cores, or perhaps your core has a close bond with another for some reason. Either way, your core often shapes your experiences, skills and character.
Example core names:
Core 123: The Cog Legion
Core 34: The Blood Hawks
Core 222: The Unspeakables
Weapons and Equipment
The Aheani make use of a wide variety of weapons tech and Equipment, most of which is accessible by their human vassals.
Lost Age Tech: The Aheani had an age known as the "Lost Age" in which they had a golden age of technology and power, but they suffered a calamity and have since recovered, though some of the technology from that age is still around though impossible to reproduce.
Projectile weapons: Similar to human firearms, yet with more power and advanced technology behind it.
Pulse Weapons: Pulse weapons are weapons which fire a pulsing blast of energy which reacts with compounds and elements commonly found in organic beings, making it an effective anti infantry weapon type.
Phase Weapons: Phase weapons fire a physical projectile with a mini computer which makes it phase through solid mater, though is programmed to come into reality when touching organic matter. This doesn't work on power armour (Though it does cause power armour system's problems) and each bullet is very expensive to produce, so Phase weapons tend to have small clip sizes and take a long time to reload.
Disintegrators: Disitengrators fire green energy beams break metallic bonds with extreme ease, which makes them very efficient against heavy armour and heavy infantry.
Plasma Weapons: Plasma weapons are good all purpose weapons which burn through most things with hot plasma. Though the projectile is strangely slow moving.

Power Armour Aheani power armour is a suit of advanced battle armour designed to protect the wearer and enhance his or her combat abilities, increasing the beings strength, speed and agility. The basic power armour can be "upgraded" to different levels through .
This armour is incredibly advanced and powerful even at lower levels, but don't get cocky, these power suits can be broken if they take enough hits and other races have developed their own versions…
Shell: Completely useless, inert form of the Aheani power armour.
Soul: Basic protection and physical boost, gives a single human the strength of five humans and the survivability of ten. HUD displays tactical data and allows for receiving of orders and tactical information
Spirit: Advanced protection and physical boost, gives a single human two times the strength and durability of a Levy wearing solider. Gives it's user a jetpack.
Eidolon: Great protection and increased physical boost, roughly two times better than a Spirit suit. Also has an increased level of customisation and enhancement. (See "Your Power Armour")
Wraith: Three times the power of an Eidolon and twice the amount of modules. This suit is typically reserved for Aheani, though as they begin to lend more autonomy to humans, this has trickled into homo sapien hands.
Archon: Four times the power of the Wraith armour. Typically seeing even one on a single battlefield is an extreme rarity since few suits can actually be upgraded to this level.
Seraph: The pinnacle of Power armour, three times the power of an Archon. These suits are extremely rare and the secret to upgrading them unknown.
Your Power Armour
You wear a suit of "Eidolon" power armour, specially designed to greatly enhance the combat abilities of the few elite human solders or Aheani commanders who get access to them. These suits are heavily customised to suit the needs of their users, even having unique modules which give their wielders great power.
Power suit creations rules:
You may have:
Three Physical enhancement modules
Two offence modules
Two transport modules:
And one unique modules which gives you an ability of your design. (Keep in mind this shouldn't be too powerful, if you need an idea of the power level, take a look at the example or ask me.)

There is also a low level AI in your suit to help manage its system and help you interface with the suit. It doesn't seem to communicate directly with it's wearer, though some have claimed to have heard voices from the suit or while in the suit. The Aheani Technoma have been strangely silent on this matter.
