2760 A.D.
Earth, our home world, has fallen into disrepair. The thousands of years of pollution has finally taken it's toll and the air is almost a poison to humans. Humans have been trying to filter the air, but to no avail as the amount of non-decomposing materials have reached impossible amounts. From the pollutants, the ozone layer has nearly dissolved and the polar ice caps are melting. So, even if there was away to get rid of the pollutants, the deficient ozone layer will cause solar rays to hit the earth directly and melt the polar ice caps. So, the world has banded together to move civilization to the next frontier, Space.
The UN decided that space colonies would be the best way to take a large portion of earthlings into space, while the rest would be sent in airships to find a suitable planet for the earthlings to migrate to. The people selected to go on the colonies were basically the government figures, scientists and civilians who can afford the fee, which wasn't astronomical, but high enough that a majority of the people could go. The rest were sent off in the airships. The airships weren't just ships, they had living quarters and were basically mini worlds...inside a ship.
The three Colonies were named Asgard, Midgard and Niflheim and created the Colonial Federation of Sol, or simply the C.F.S. In order to ensure that the airships would find the planet, the colonies would be in constant contact with airships. Asgard was the main hub of all of communications between the colonies and airships. One day, thousands of years in the future, Asgard did not receive communications back from the ship Bifrost.

3999 December, 27 - 28 A.S.C. (After Space Colonies)
Bifrost sent northwest from earth ran into a world with more than a perfect environment to sustain life. When Bifrost landed, the civilians found a gruesome sight. The inhabitants of the world, an insect like humanoid race was totally extinct. Half decomposed bodies laid in the street and a rancid smell permeated through the air. Though the circumstances were odd, the humans of Bifrost still found it crucial to investigate this planet and so, they did.
Nothing seemed to cause the deaths of the Insectoid race. There was no sign of war and no diseases were detected in the air. Scientists on Bifrost also took samples of the blood of the inhabitants and nothing was abnormal. Nothing was odd about the world except a small shrine dedicated to a small metal orb, which almost looked like a small pill. The orb pulsed blue light and levitated within it's case. The scientist took it to examine it, however, after sending the message they would be examining it, however, all communications with Bifrost ended there.
Immediately after they missed their first weekly report to Asgard, a search party was warped to their last logged in location. When the rescue ship arrived, they were stunned at what they had found. Bifrost was completely demolished. Parts of the airship were scattered around the center point of it's location. What was still intact, was the glowing orb, floating in the center of the wreck. The rescue team, knowing that the original team of Bifrost wanted to study it, recovered the orb and sent it back to the rescue ship.
Luckily, the rescue ship had a small laboratory. They extracted data from the metallic orb and, once again, were completely stunned at what they had found.
"Are you sure, are you completely sure that is what is in that small orb?" President Wallace asked through the tele-communicator, which is now just a floating hologram. President Wallace was considered one of the better Presidents in the A.S.C. age. He cleaned up many of problems passed presidents have created such as a resolution Umbalgian conflicts, solutions to Cosmic pollution and an end to the Arkadian War.
"We're are sure. This orb, or whatever it is, Seed of Knowledge as I call it, has innumerable amounts of data, information from countless civilizations...it would advance our technology by thousands of years! Civilizations we have no knowledge about are stored right on this Seed!" Dr. Cornelius, the lead scientist on the rescue ship, had made a groundbreaking discovery with this Seed he called it. They warped back to Asgard and then transported the seed to the scientist section of the Niflheim.

3999 New Years Eve A.S.C
The Seed of Knowledge was sent to Niflheim for study and extraction of the data. For a dew days immense amounts of data have been sent to Midgard, the main construction hub of the three colonies, to create the many mechanisms found in the seed. One of these were 5 Mechas, humanoid battle machines that are piloted from inside, each needing an "Essence of Ragnarok". However, the mechas can be built without the Essence of Ragnarok, as they only need the Essence to Pilot them. All of the information specifically for the mechas were sent to Midgard before New Years Eve of 3999 A.S.C..
An Arkadian Warship, or what seemed to be a much more technologically advanced one, attacked Niflheim at exactly 11:45 Pm on December 31st. They ruthlessly attacked the eastern section, where the Seed of Knowledge was held. As the C.F.S. had a treaty with the Arkadian forces, they weren't prepared for the attack. President Wallace watched in horror as the Arkadian's bombarded Niflheim's Science quarters. President Wallace switched the camera's to the Maximum security hub where the Seed was being held. He watched in horror as the Arkadians slaughtered the scientists.
Suddenly, just as what seemed to be the Arkadian Cheif was about to take the Seed, a bright yellow light engulfed the screen. The light was even blinding from the screen, so much so President Wallace had to look away from the screen. When the bright light had finally subsided, nothing was there except a glowing female human, or what looked human. The woman had long green hair and what looked like a long toga on her. She had three pairs of wings on her back and small ones coming from her head just above her temples. She turned toward the camera and instantly destroyed it.

A rescue team made up of seven people, made up of both men and women were sent to Niflheim to survey the damage and find survivors of the strange attacks. No survivors were found and the damage was surprisingly repairable. However, once they got to the main hub, the rescue team was dumbfounded by what they saw. The same woman that President Wallace saw on the camera was standing in the center of the room, floating above the Seed of Knowledge. The rescue team did not know what to do and were stunned with bewilderment, awe and fear.
The being began talking without moving her mouth even to breathe.
< No need to fear, mortals. I am Freya, goddess of the cosmos, on a mission to stop a great calamity from destroying all life. >
The rescue team calmed a little but was still cautious of the other worldly being. They didn't exactly comprehend what she was talking about but they still listened.
< I shall now bestow upon you the Eggs of Ragnarok, keep them safe they shall hatch when your eggs hatch > Freya lifted her hand up and blew in the direction of the rescue crew, who were still paralyzed in fear. She blew seven tiny comets of light at the 7 rescue members, each beam entering the women of the group's womb and the men of the group's testicles. After each seed entered the bodies of the rescue team they had blacked out. Freya then dissolved back into the Seed of Knowledge.
Once the rescue team awoke, the were in the hospital bay of Niflheim, which was on the western section of the Colony. Numerous tests were done to make sure they were okay and nothing was found malignant in any way. So, the Niflheim 7, as they later became known as, were allowed to go and live life as they pleased.

- 18 Years Later -
4018 A.S.C.
The Niflheim 7 are now married and all having given birth to children all realized what Freya had given them. Each of their children, ranging from fifteen to eighteen have gained odd powers on the onset of puberty. They are able to manifest metallic weapons, using their minds each different depending on the child. Scientist realized each weapon manifested based on a very complex and advance mathematical equation being answered in their head, each answer being a specific word in the Greek Alphabet. Scientist also had found that the mechas found in the Seed of Knowledge, now known as the Seed of Freya , only respond to the children of the Niflheim 7.
Astronomers on the south section of Niflheim have also discovered something rather odd blossoming near the core of the Milky Way Galaxy. An odd tree, or rather crystallized dark matter in the shape of a tree, materialized on a small comet, near what is now the Arkadian mother ship, as they destroyed their own planet. What's worse, odd cosmic organisms were emerging from the tree, which was thought to be impossible but, there was a dark matter tree so, now anything was possible. One of the Organisms, dubbed Leviathan, was heading straight toward the C.F.S.. Leviathan was a large serpentine, dragonoid, reptilian. It was purple with two rows of small luminescent scales that pulse blue light. It was moving at incredible speeds toward C.F.S. until it's speed climax and warped to C.F.S.. On closer inspection, the mouth was much like a Lamprey's mouth, round and lined with small teeth. The skin was ridged and scarred. It had no eyes and had two large antennae to sense energy signals, it more closely resembled a large warm or leech.
The C.F.S. called the Umbalgian army to help with warding off this enemy, as they two had gained a Seed of Freya. Both armies were no match for the Leviathan who torn through the front lines near Mars. It was time for the C.F.S. to bring in the big guns. The Children of the Niflheim 7. All the years of training and waiting for this imminent attack have finally arrived. It was time to act.

Known/Discovered Species by the Human Race.
The Humans
Humans have remained unchanged for thousands of years.
The Umbalgians
Umbalgians resemble humans for the most part however, there are a few differences. For one, the Umbalgians usually have Green, Blue or Pink hair with complementing eyes. Their ears are also slightly pushed forward and pointed. Umbalgians also have two small triangles that are either colored Red or Blue. Red means that they are Male Umbalgians and Blue means that they are Female. They also have, what are known as tails coming from a little above their ears and grow as they get older. When full grown, their tails reach to about their ankles. They function more like antennas but the looks more furry and become slightly wider as they come to the end. Finally, Umbalgians are much taller then humans. The Men reach, on average, about 8 ft. tall. The Women usually read 7.5 feet tall. Like Humans, they come in all different skin tones and sizes.
These people have had some disputes with the Human race but, it never got into a full blown war. The Umbalgian conflict, known as the Homo Sapien conflict to Umbalgians, was a series of heated debates about borders within the cosmos. They are one of the few races able to use a Scientific magic known as Techology. They also found a Seed of Freya around the same time that the humans did. However, they were already much farther ahead technologically that the seed only helped a fraction as much as it did for the humans.
The Arkadians
The Arkadians are a brutal reptilian based race from the world of Arkadia. In the first few hundred years earthlings were in the Colonies, they discovered this species. At the time, they were the equivalent of our Neanderthals. The people of the C.F.S. left the Arkadians alone until about a thousand years later. The Arkadians surprisingly attacked the C.F.S in advanced starships. They had seemingly evolved at an alarming rate and became sentient. The mystery of how they are evolving so fast isn't answered, yet.
The Arkadians resemble bipedal lizards. They range in variety like earth lizards do. Their colors and patterns on their scales also differ. They are a militaristic species and are basically born with a weapon in both hands. They are slight shorter then humans as their skeleton is naturally slouched, as if they are ready to pounce on prey. They grow on average to about 5ft no matter if they are male or female.
The Spawns of Yggdrasil
The Spawns of Yggdrasil are spawns of the Tree on the comet near the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. Leviathan is a example of these beings. The beings of Yggdrasil are usually purple in color and look like deep sea fish with their dark skin and luminescent parts on their bodies. However, they come in many different shapes and sizes.
The Colonies of C.F.S.
Asgard
Asgard is the main colony of the C.F.S. where it houses the government capitol of the C.F.S.. It also houses the most civilians and is the main center for art, film and overall entertainment. The Shape of Asgard is a large pillar with three rings around the main pillar with bridges connecting those rings to the main pillar. The Main Pillar is the Government section in the upper section of the pillar while the government's housing sections are the middle and bottom of the pillar. The top ring is arts and housing units, while the center ring is film and housing while the bottom ring is the entertainment and housing centers.
Midgard
Midgard is the only housing for contruction workers and other "blue collar" jobs and their families. It has a main pillar like Asgard but, has a structure spiraling around it with bridges supporting it, while also providing transportation between the spiral and pillar.
Niflheim
Niflheim was originally a large triangle with an orb in the center of it. Bridges connected the sides of the triangle to the center orb, however, after the attack on the east side of its structure it demolished and is under construction as of now.
Known Worlds
Earth
As stated before, Earth has become a wasteland and is totally unlivable.
Umbalga
The homeworld of the Umbalgians. It is a near replica of earth in it's peak but, the atmosphere causes the sky to be purple. The technology on this planet is a few hundred years ahead of the C.F.S.. They have perfected things like laser weaponry and are on the verge of prototypes on time travel.
Arkadia
Not much is known about this world as it has been destroyed. What is known, is that it used to be a solely jungle-like world with high amounts of CO2 in the air. This made it impossible for humans to live on this world
The Mechas
There are 7 mechas each named after a letter of the Greek Alphabet. There are three different types of Mechas. They are listed and described below.
1. Attack Mecha - A mecha solely focusing on speed and attacking the enemy in large bursts of power are put into this category. This categories uses things like swords and missiles to attack it's opponents. They have low defenses and can't take too many attacks. They tend to have a slim build and are agile. These have very few defense options
2. Defense Mecha - A mecha focused on supporting and defending it's allies in battles. It uses large shields, spears , tridents and large force fields to defend. They are slower and bulkier then their Attack Mecha counter parts. Thought they focus on Defenses they do have very limited attack options
3. Spy Mecha - A mecha focused on stealth and agility. It uses small missiles, it's hands/ limbs to attack and has cloaking abilities. They are the fastest of all mechas it is used for confusing enemies and weakening them down before another mecha can take care of the opponents. They are well rounded in defense and attacks but, is not very strong in either category.
Umbalga Mechas
Umbalga Mechas are exactly like the humanoids Mechas but, do not need an Essence of Ragnarok to pilot them. The Umbalgians figured out a way to have Mechas without needing the Essences. However, without the essences, they are slightly weaker and cost much more to build. They follow the general guidelines of The Essence of Ragnarok's Mechas. Also Umbalgian pilots are hand selected so, only the elite Umbalgian are able to be in the Mechas. Also, the Mechas are modeled after the pilots so that synchronization is a lot easier.
Piloting a Mecha
Piloting a mecha is quite easy for those who can activate one. Mechas, unlike other machines, cockpit is a large orb that makes the pilot levitate inside of the orb. The pilot stands up straight rather then sitting up. The orb reads the movements of the pilot and makes the mecha do the same. Also to run you simply run in the cockpit but you stay in place.
Hand to Hand Combat
The Essences of Ragnarok, or the Children of the Niflheim 7, have the power to materialize metallic weapons to fight the Spawns of Yggdrasil. These weapons are materialized from a complex equation within the minds of the children of the Niflheim 7. These weapons are futuristic looking and feature laser technology on their blades or arrows and force fields. Their hand to hand combat weapons match their Mecha's weapons.
The Essences of Ragnarok and Umbalgians are also able to use a certain form of Magic that uses equations called Techology. The magic of Techology allows the Essence of Ragnarok and Umbalgians to utilize many different magical abilities.
