I am a super soldier, what is a super soldier you'll ask me. A super soldier is a geneticaly modified human to be immune or highly résistant to most if not all type of ailments, they become immortals that can only die through battle or in rare case because of an ailment to which they didn't have high enough immunity.
We are equipped with an armor made of a mixture of obsidian, diamond and palladium, which as a personal shield generator integrated, can keep us alive through atmospheric entry even if it's not used for that because of the damages it takes when we land.
Well I am one of the oldest super soldiers while only being about 80 years old, all my predecessors died in the perpetual war we fight against the predators, an evolved group of monsters capable of manipulating the minds of almost any other sentient being known, they have multiple form some resemble eldritch horrors while other look just like some giant animals with some additional parts like tentacles or members.
You can end up before a six legged wolf the size of a house, a dinosaur with tentacle or something directly out of a Lovecraft book.
They are extremely hard to kill depending on their ranks, from the weakest to the strongest their is :
- The slave rank (normal humans can kill them if they gang up against it)
- The soldier rank (augmented or awakened humans can kill them solo or by ganging up against it depending on their strengths and rank)
- The captain rank (you'll need more then a group to kill them something like a division or 100 augmented or awakened humans of the same rank or below, 10 of the same rank or 5 of the rank above. Super soldiers can solo kill them)
- The commander rank (they stay in the nest therefore only expedition of at least 5000 augmented or awakened humans of captain rank can kill onewith heavy casualties or sending a group of super soldier leading to none or light casualty)
- The general rank (only super soldiers can kill them, needing 100 to 1000 of super soldier to kill one or sending awakened super soldiers but they are so rare they have become regulated ressources)
- The king rank ( It's just a theory no data of one existing as ever been acquired)
-The emperor rank ( Like king rank it's only a theory and is considered a legend to scare children)
- Lastly the God rank ( just a myth no more no less)
As you can see there's only kings and emperors they are a patriarchal or male oreinted group with most female specimen being in charge of producing more of their kin and unable to climb the ranks beyond captain rank atmost.
For humans the ranks are divided as follow :
- Citizen rank (normal humans)
- Soldier rank ( augmented humans with cybernetic augmentation and awakened humans with psychic powers, their is also the synthetic humans but they are not used for battle except for defense because of their limitation of needing a living human to volunteer for the conversion)
- Captain rank ( augmented humans with at least 25% of their body having cybernetic augmentation or awakened humans who have unlocked their first psychic lock)
- Commander rank ( augmented humans with at least 50% of their body having cybernetic augmentation, awakened humans who have unlocked their second psychic lock or super soldiers)
- General rank ( augmented humans with at least 75% of their body having cybernetic augmentation or awakened humans who have unlocked their third psychic lock)
- King rank ( augmented humans with at least 100% of their body having cybernetic augmentation essentially becoming a brain in a humanoid sized robot , awakened humans who have unlocked their fourth psychic lock or awakened super soldiers)
- Emperor rank ( a theory no one ever attained it, only a legend)
- God rank ( a myth no more no less )
Oh did I mention that psychic lock are extremely hard to unlock and that failing to unlock one after starting the process lead to either death or potential locking barring the path to the next rank if you can't solve the potential lock , leading to most awakened being unable to advance to the next rank.
Potential lock are individual and don't have the same way of unlocking for every humans, it can be enlightenment, near death experience or other insignificant actions, most of the time it's either enlightenment or near death experience.
There's more augmented kings than awakened kings but augmented kings are the weakest kings against the predators, as a failsafe for survival all augmented kings have a device that automatically transfer their consciousness to a synthetic humans body premade for them in case of their death or beyond repair damages.
Awakened super soldiers are rare and precious because they have less weakness than awakened humans, the psychic awakening enhancing their resistance and immunity and strengthening their physique further. But the death rate of super soldiers is extremely high, being deployed to every battlefield with little to no rest time in between deployment doesn't really help even with high stamina and the need to sleep being erased from our genetical codes.
