In the year 3000 AD, there had been a miracle created. A miracle which could lead to the utter destruction of our world-- or possibly to its salvation. Science, my friends, became a power strong enough to compete with the gods-- and what a day it was.
Yes, life had been created from nothingness, and with it, power-- in fact, it was multiplied eightfold! Yes, eight beings were created, made to ensnare, corrupt, and destroy. They were numbered 1 through 8, their special markings in between their shoulder blades, to conceal their identities from those who would flee them. Other than that, they looked like us, in a similar fashion to the gods of old.
They were all equal in power, but very different. There was the minotaur, blessed with the powers over earth, powerful and commanding. There was the siren, gifted with the air, swift and graceful like a bird. There was the Cerberus, cunning and devious, gifted with the powers of darkness and shadow. The wise sphinx, who only appeared but once in a grecian tale, held the power of light. Fire was given to the Nemean lion, ferocious and wild. The power of water was commanded by the Hydra, elusive and persistent. The centaur, dignified and strong, held the power of the plants and the trees. The project modeled after Medusa, the fallen priestess, had the power over spirits.
These eight, with their gifts and strengths, could terrify as easily as they could lure.
But they also had minds, they also had hearts. And, surprisingly, they also could feel. Perhaps that was a fault the scientists didn't want, but they had spent too much time producing these soldiers to even consider killing them. And so, they were trained in combat, brainwashed into serving just one government.
Some however, fled the corruption, trying to make new, human lives for themselves. They were hunted down, day after day, suffering in silence. And the trackers were grieved, but they had to destroy their own kin.
☼ O muses, let us unwind this tale, follow their errors and victories, their lives and deaths. ☽

SETTING: Capital City, United World Republic. YEAR: 3000 AD
COMBAT SUITS: These suits are the first articles of clothing given to the eight. Instead of the lines glowing white, they will glow in the respective colors of the user. Minotaur will have a rusty color glow, siren a teal glow, cerberus a gray glow, sphinx a yellow orange glow, lion a red glow, hydra a blue glow, and medusa a purple glow. These suits will usually only be worn 1. In a combat 2. On duty (this mainly applies for those who stay with the government, and they'd only wear these at night. The glow can be turned on and off according to what the user wishes, and they come with perks, which will be explained later on. (Think suits like in Tron: Legacy. That's the futuristic look we're going for.)
THE EIGHT
#1: Project Minotaur Power: Earth (rock)
#2: Project Siren Power: Air
#3: Project Cerberus Power: Darkness
#4: Project Sphinx Power: Light
#5: Project Nemean Lion Power: Fire
#6: Project Hydra Power: Water
#7: Project Centaur Power: Plants
#8: Project Medusa Power: Spirits
RULES:
1. Please follow all Tamatalk rules
2. I have a strict literacy rule. One GOOD paragraph at least. I've been lenient other times, but this rule, MUST be followed.
3. Proper spelling and grammar is a MUST.
4. If you want to be one of the eight, you can only apply for ONE of them. You can make other characters if you want but they can't be projects.
5. If you're applying to be one of the eight, you need to post the profile in the OOC forum. if more than one person applies for the same project, I will choose based on which profile is better.
6. Please feel free to be as creative as you like.
7. NO MATTER WHAT THE PROJECT IS BASED ON, IT CAN BE EITHER MAE OR FEMALE. So you could make Project Centaur a girl, or Project Medusa a boy. I don't care. =)
