Hey
I'm co2, and I'm pretty new to this forum. I haven't wrote a Fic before, I am more accustomed to reading them, so keep that in mind when reading.
The concept of this story is original, I came up with it, it might not be the greatest plot you've ever seen, but I wanted to try it and I played with the Idea a bit, but I have some inspirations from other sci-fi things, primarily Halo.
I have a basic Idea of what will happen across the chapters, so I am not really 'making it up as I go along.'
I'd appreciate constructive criticism, I don't mind harsh crit, as long as it actually helps me, I don't want flaming that in no way will make me a better writer.
So, thanks for checking this out, I hope you read a bit, and if you enjoy it, keep reading!

----Prologue----
Humanity,
Humanity has always been on the verge of war, from the age of their conception until their end. This is the case in this story, as well as many others before it, and, most likely, after it. It begins in the in the 2050s. Mankind was prosperous, strong. Skyscrapers were visible as far as they eye could see, both upwards, and due to the sheer amount of them, outwards.
Medicine had been greatly improved. Most cancers, cured. Organ failure was combated by new, man-made, more efficient parts made of plastics and artificial flesh that could be implanted in the human body with a quick, risk-free operation. It was unheard of for somebody to die in their seventies, most surpassed the hundred marks, some continued even further.
As time passed and new revolutionary inventions were thought up, inevitably, fuel running out became a problem. This was hastily solved, when new streamline space shuttles were created that could mine asteroids containing fuel.
With new space travel, Russia and the USA set up bases on the moon, Russia had their eye on Mars, which they planned to terraform and later colonise. This is where the problem began, prosper could never last for so long, and disputes began between the two large, nuclear based nations. War would soon break out, a huge, devastating war that would leave a mark for centuries to come.
Skylines set aflame, whole cities - sometimes countries were wiped out by the weaponry that both sides freely used. Billions died, and the population dropped. Years of suffering passed, and a treaty was signed, humanity desperately trying to regain the greatness they had only a few years ago. Rubble surrounded them. Blood of the dead stained the floor, often from years ago.
As the new age dawned, the rebuilding began, and would continue for many years. The Government were forced to take their focus off of the law; this was noticed, and exploited, crime running free throughout the world, perhaps the man who exploited it most, a man who was known by all as 'Charles Faust, Billionaire Scientist.'
He would threaten to bring mankind to its knees once again, waning the already shattered population of the world, his dark plans soon taking in to affect, the events soon to come impacting the future. Now, in the shadows of an already dark world, one man will lead his world against the new menace.
This is the story of Shade.
