Backstory:
A stranger in a strange land - it is the year 2173 and the last great exodus of Earth is happening. Earth, your home planet, can no longer support the 20 billion lives that swelled its contents and destroyed its natural resources. Split into intersteller colonies, Earth PRIME has become a barren desert, void of vegetation and water. Earth ALPHA and OMEGA has opened its gates to the surge of Primers trying to escape.
You have three choices: 1) Stay on Prime and try to survive. War has begun for the last remaining functioning colonies on Earth Prime. It is dark, desolate and no amount of dusting will help.
2) Join the mass exodus to Earth Alpha and Omega. Both worlds are equally advanced but new. It will be a struggle to homestead and claim what is yours, but where both planets are similar in being heavily regulated if not peaceful, Alpha holds what used to be the northern hemisphere of Earth, Omega holding the Southern regions.
In either case, with the exodus came our presence being known in the universe. 'They' are coming, both to Prime and the outer colonized planets. Today will be the human's first step into the outer universe and its inhabitants. They may, or may not, be friendly, but what they are is not human...not totally.
3) Cyborgs - They are the result of alien abductions in the 90's and early 21st century. Once a human race merged with a dying alien technology has produced the 'Cyborgs'. Half man, half machine. You may, or may not, be one of them.
****
Your'e welcome to use the scenario as part of the story you are to tell in your art. Pick a profession, a lifestyle or a bloody battle to depict your life choice. PRIME, ALPHA or OMEGA - it is your decision...Choose wisely.
Or just have fun and do a naked chick with robots. =D
Any questions, ROz is hosting this exchange. You are encouraged to write a history to help define your character. You can create someone new or SCI-FI up one of your preexisting. There is no limit.
:i3art:
EDIT - there is no minimum post needed to participate. Just please be aware that if you don't complete at the time of turn in, you will be able to provide untouched pictures of the Holy Epic Event that prevented you from doing so. O_O Please be considerate and timely is all we ask. =)

NAME: Cornelius Trent
RACE (other than human; ie Cyborgs): Cyborg
HAIR: sparse and white
EYES: pale green
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 5' 7" tall 120 lbs, 97-years-old, gaunt with greyish skin. Wears tailored suits that have life-support and exoskeletal equipment built in or threaded through.
HISTORY: Mr. Trent resides on Earth Prime trading in mechanical, bio-organic, and biological products and goods. He looks to the world as a frail man approximately 50-years old. most of his internal organs have been replaced with organs and cybernetics that he has accepted in trade over the course of time.
Mr. Trent takes powerful anti-rejection medication to accept parts not designed specifically for him. The combination of the chemicals and alien/man-made parts has over time drained him of the appearance of human warmth and given his skin an almost cadaverish sheen. His voice is smooth and strong but with a distant, synthetic quality. An insatiable and cunning will to survive coupled with the innate strengths of his artificial components and exoskeleten make him capable of surprising bursts of physical activity.
Mr. Trent is opportunistic, ruthless, and cunning -- friendly but not warm, pleasant and poised but not in the least caring.

NAME: Geddy Leeorelius
RACE (other than human; ie Cyborgs): Cyborg Warrior
HAIR: Long, Brown, and Thick
EYES: Dark
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 6'2, 220 lbs. Well cut from years of bar room brawling and lifting heavy frieght
HISTORY: Born out of the choice given two beings long ago...either conceive or die!!! The brutal experiments of the necromancers and alien priestkings made way to the life before you.
His Father being the sadistic and sometimes impersonal machine known as Syrinx Leeorelius, a madman in his own right. His mother, Teo Dominica, an artistic and soft hearted woman was forced to mate with this beast giving birth to the cyborg to be named Geddy Leeorelius.
Growing up as a young boy, life was a constant struggle. As an outcast cyborg trying to live among humans and thier undeniable distain for machine flesh, Geddy was constantly taunted and found himself in battle even as a youth. His training in tactical combat includes all the traditional forms of hand to hand as well as advanced training with lazers, cannons and a few unkown technologies to be revealed when needed. He always seemed to find solace in his art and bass guitar however.
Now at an age of 26 years, and many years of frieghter work behind him, he is a young starpilot.
Choosing to assist in the mass exodus of earth prime which will surely prove to be the grandest adventure he has yet to endure. Maybe he will even find the comforts of a good woman during this saga...*S*

NAME: Thanos (Athanasios Wieczorek)
RACE (other than human; ie Cyborgs): Cyborg
HAIR: Shoulder length dirty blonde in a ponytail – for facial hair he has a soul patch
EYES: Blue/Brown Hazel
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Looks to be late 30s, 6’2”, 190 pounds – large framed and built, muscular. Eastern European features. Heavy jaw, very prominent nose, deeply tanned. Chain smoker. Cleans up well and dresses to impress. Wears that universal standard item, the trench coat. Carries a big gun.
HISTORY:
Sometimes your crimes catch up with you, and sometimes they don’t – Thanos had experienced a mixed bag as far as consequences went. He’d pulled a lot of stunts in his day, run a lot of different games, and most of the time he didn’t get caught.
If only ‘most’ were all.
The first time he got nailed, running a drug smuggling ring from Prime to Alpha, the government decided to take advantage of the newfound alien technology and installed an inhibitor in his brain, meant to ‘suppress criminal impulses’.. It was lucky he knew a guy who knew a guy or he would have gone square, selling used cars or god knows what – as it was he got the hardware taken out two days after his release. While his buddies were in there, though, they added some new gear – now the base of his head may look a mess of glass and circuits, but he’s got storage space galore, not to mention the spiffy (though experimental) jacks.
Maybe he would have been better off without the new toys, though – Thanos got arrested again a couple years later, smuggling again, though weapons this time, and this time the government wasn’t inclined to be so lenient. Not wanting to blow more money on a forced rehab effort when they had a mass evacuation to worry about, they decided Thanos would be their new informant. One eye was replaced with a fake, a camera that looked almost exactly like the real thing – they were willing to risk someone noticing the subtle difference in the way the synthetic material reflected light. What looked like a plain hoop earring was in fact a listening device – now the government could hear what he heard and see what he saw. And there wasn’t a damn thing he could do about it.
Some day people will start to notice that everyone around Thanos gets caught while his nose stays clean, and when that happens he figures his number will be up. Doesn’t seem the intelligence agency much cares about keeping him alive, being a hardened criminal and all. Maybe some day Thanos will be able to accomplish his new goal – get rid of all the hardware and then just disappear. Until then, he’ll be the government’s puppet.
PREFERRED PERSONAL CHOICE OF MEDIUM: Freehand maybe, or mixed media. Digital painting or vectoring, with or without a photo
SCREENSHOTS OR PHOTO URLS: Still hunting, though your own interpretation is certainly welcome.
Okay found some reasonably accurate images in this person's gallery - a little on the young side perhaps but close enough. His hair is blonde and his eyes are hazel (brown/blue). They're different guys but both seem to capture his 'flavor'.
