Super Soldier Generations

Super Soldiers, known by their superior strength, agility, and durability to normal soldiers are soldiers, which receive a lot of extra training, along with upgrades to their body, including injections increasing strength, muscle movement, reflexes, and eye-sight. These upgrades all come with risks, that the majority of candidates, knew they signed up for. (Gen. 1's weren't aware, due to them being the first generation of Super Soldiers.)

## **Gen. 1 Super Soldiers (Generation 1 Super Soldiers, also known by it's codename, the Alpha 1 Program.)**

The Gen. 1 Super Soldier program started in 13,923 BC, was the first Super Soldier program and the only one that was unregulated by the Government and the Army. The Gen. 1 Super Soldiers were made up of candidates ranging from the ages of 13-16, since those ages were determined the best for training and upgrades, due to younger people being able to make quicker recoveries than adults. The Gen. 1 Super Soldier program began with extensive training for around 1-2 years, followed up by Upgrades to the candidates' physical bodies, including increased strength, muscle movement, reflexes, eye-sight, and even thinking or brain power. All of these upgrades were done by either surgery or injections. There were also around 200,000+ candidates in the Gen. 1 Super Soldier Program, being the lowest by far out of all of them. The Gen. 1 Super Soldier Program was also the only Super Soldier Program to train candidates of use in Elemental powers.

### Side Affects:

Due to the unregulated nature of the Gen. 1 Super Soldier program, there were a lot of side affects suffered by candidates as a result of the unstable amounts of upgrades administered by the lead scientists.

Side affects included:

Anxiety (Due to the Hormonal injections, meant to boost their height and some aspects of their physical strength, another reason for anxiety was the increased thinking or brain power, which led to some candidates thinking about things too much, resulting in panic attacks.)

Depression (Due to them being out of their homes for 3-4 years, they had some depression as a result of not being with people they knew that well, another reason for depression was the increased brain power, along with some of the mental training done by the lead scientists, that made them watch what type of stuff they would be dealing with in combat.)

Heart Attacks (Due to the increased muscle movements/brain power)

Hallucinations (Due to the increased brain power injections)

Emotional Detachment (This is mainly due to the nature of the training the candidates had done.)

### Known Candidates of the Gen. 1 Super Soldier Program

After all of the upgrades and training, only around 80,000-100,000+ Gen. 1 Super Soldiers were left, which is fair less than any of the other Generations. Known members include:

## Gen. 2 Super Soldiers (Known by its Codename the "Alpha 2" program, being the second rendition of Super Soldiers)

The Gen. 2 Super Soldier Program started in the year, 924 AC, the Gen. 2 Super Soldier program was also the first Super Soldier Program to be regulated/monitored by the Elemental Army and the *UE*, *Navian*, and *Sapphirian* Government. This program also demanded that candidates were at least of the ages of 17-20 before they could receive upgrades. However, training was permitted for those who signed up at 16, although 15 year olds weren't allowed in the program at all. The Gen. 2 Super Soldier program had a much shorter training program than the Gen. 1's only lasting around 9 months or 1-2 years. The Gen. 2's also never trained in their Elemental powers, whereas the Gen. 1's did. The Gen. 2's upgrades were also scaled/toned down a bit from the Gen. 1's making them less powerful overall, and not as fast as Gen. 1's either. The Gen. 2's also had weaker armor than the Gen. 1's, due to the amount of Gen. 2's that were enlisted, around 100 million+, which is way more than the Gen. 1's enlisted.

### Side Affects:

There were much less side-affects than the Gen. 1 program, due to the upgrades being toned down, however, there were still some side affects including:

Mild Anxiety (Due to the training and brain-power upgrades)

Depression (Much rarer than the Gen. 1's, but still prevalent)

Emotional Distress (The Gen. 2's weren't as detached as Gen, 1's, so the result was that Gen. 2's were much more emotional during combat, which is one of their downsides, since Gen. 1's will keep fighting strong even after their comrades die, making them better soldiers, but leaving them more mentally damaged.)
