Project ANGEL

Persist. Thrive. Overcome.

Project ANGEL is a trump card **Trestkania** created in order to fend off against **Morze**. When the war momentarily stopped for a few years, Project ANGEL was made in order to strengthen their military force against Morze.

## Background

The year 2101, amidst the great Morze war, are dark times where poverty has risen, food has grown scarce, and the fear of death is looming around every corner of the world. The grace period they are given is the greatest miracle they had ever sought after decades of war had passed. But, just because a two year break had happened doesn't mean the people of Trestkania will lay low and save their strength. Instead, what they did is share vital information with the countries they made an alliance with; **Celibus** and **Yorselania**. In order to make a force strong enough to go against the Eldritch beasts, they have to make a force that goes beyond the human limits with the greatest technology they could muster, concepts after theories, research after experiments, testing after failure, all for the sake of science. That is how Project ANGEL came to life.

## Types of Units

Project ANGEL has 5 types of units built, each of them being vastly different and a vital role to operate as a squad. There are two letters indicating what type of unit they are. For example, **Anellia Thena**'s full code number is An013**Du**49è362 or a SERAPH's code number, Se0761**Ov**6732j01.

* **Overseer Units** - Observation or Scouts.

* **Analyzation Units** - Reporters and Informational purposes.

* **Designing Units** - Engineers or All-Rounders.
	+ Designing units often has the role of being a caster, meaning that with enough time given to them they could have the combat power above than a combat unit although for a short period of time.

* **Combat Units** - Attackers and Core units.

* **Leader Units** - Leaders and Guidelines.
	+ A special role given to units that have the capability to do all of the following above, there were only two recorded Commanding Units before disbanding.

## Organizational Structure

As stated by the name, Project ANGEL develops superhumans capable of doing groundbreaking things with the help of giving them an exoskeleton suit or even exchange body parts for prosthetic parts that depend on their full control over their brain. They are a trained elite force that moves in coordination since there are many roles in war an ANGEL can take now that their brain has enough capacity to multitask extremely proficiently and skillfully.

There are two types of units the Project ANGEL has in their forces; **ANGELs** and **SERAPHs**, ANGELs being vastly superior and SERAPHs being the majority of the population.

### Angels

ANGELs are superhumans that has the ability to place their brain at a 100% output to commit tasks an incomparable times faster than of humans. But in exchange for this phenomenon, there has to be a severe trace of emotion ranging from a trauma to a disorder and take advantage of that to increase their mental fortitude to utilize their thought process. Hence the reason for the ANGELs' eccentric behaviors.

* ANGELs also tend to have unique weapons instead of normal firearms handed by the government, going all the way back to close combat weapons with a 'small' gimmick being accompanied by the Designing Unit's help.

### Seraphs

SERAPHs, similar to ANGELs, are much more tamer, now that instead of using a forced method of controlling your brain with the help of prosthetics and serums, The second founder used a more potent but weaker way to develop more units after the ban of creating ANGELs. SERAPHs' brain output varies from person to person, to an average of 30% to a maximum of 90%, but the production rate of SERAPHs is tenfold higher.

## Abilities

ANGELS and SERAPHs has extremely high tolerance for their emotions, they can carry their duties till the end without any further conflict and do it flawlessly in a cold-blooded fashion. If they are instructed on a mission to kill a man, they will do it, if they are instructed to act as a tool for a man, they must do it all, for the sake of world peace.

### Strengths

**Superior Physical Capabilities:** Every single unit in the project has strength already many times beyond the limits of humans, but it varies from the direct control of their brain using the serum provided by Project ANGEL which can immediately show drastic changes when taking the dosage. But in the ANGELs case, the serum they used is extremely dangerous.

**Indispensable:** Since they are humans armed with an extremely hardened exoskeletons or prosthetic body parts, they don't need a healer unit in their squad since the Designing Unit will instead keep spare sets of their mechanical parts to keep them ready on standby to fight once again until they drop out of exhaustion.

**Absolute Obedience:** Mostly 80% of the members in Project ANGEL had suffered a cruel fate when South Trestkania was ravaged, and due to that, Project ANGEL preferred to pick their members from the heavily wounded for two reasons; one are the chances of harboring extreme hate against their preparations, and two is to swear absolute obedience to their saviors for giving them a second chance.

**Cybernetic Wings:** Every ANGEL has six sets of wings that will be used for flight, combat, and utility depending on what role they partake in their squad, each of them very unique to each other. Overseers usually specialize in long-ranged combat, thus they are granted wings with the weapons fit for their occupation, Combat units are the exact opposite as Overseers, depending on their aptitude on firearms or hand-held weapons, their wings behind them will transform to their desired weapon powered by Quantum Technology. A more unique case would be Designing Units, since they are in charge of maintaining the wings of other units, it is their choice to mold their wings for their own liking.

### Weaknesses

**Lack of Common Sense:** Due to their stupidly illogical strength and speed, also by the fact that most of them were immediately picked up by Project ANGEL after suffering through the invasion on South Trestkania, it’s safe to say that all of them barely has any common sense making them very uncontrollable outside society.

**Few Members:** Due to the serum used to turn into ANGELs having a very high mortality rate of 95%, there are barely any members that were produced even after years of research on how to make superhumans condensed with all their technologies combined. The same could be said with SERAPHs, only 20,000 members made it through and still has a mortality rate of 20%.

**Self-Awareness:** To maximize the efficiency of ANGELs and SERAPHs in the frontlines the first founder thought of reducing their pain tolerance as another side effect from a serum, but it’s a double-edged sword. There are cases where SERAPHs won’t even know they have already died, and even if they were injured to an extent, they will still fight onto the frontlines and eventually bleed to death.

## Cybernetic Overdrive

The ultimate ability specific ANGELs possesses from the research they had done during the last phases of the project. With the help of Yorselania’s method of fusing magic and technology, the first founder named **Michael Evláveia** found a loophole that can be used within their method. Instead of utilizing magic, they could trace it all the way to the roots, the life force. The serum’s contents are extremely small circuits powered by nano technology is coded in advanced to first go into the heart where a magic core resides and forcefully grab all that magic to direct it to the brain, allowing the magic core to overdrive the brain to its full capability.

The first founder found this concept marvelous despite having high risks, but obviously enough, people objected to using this method since the pain that will follow this procedure is already fatal just from having your core forcefully moved. This distressed Michael since his mindset was that they must make sacrifices to win against the true monster they had been fighting against for decades, but they didn’t listen to him and abolished the project immediately. In the end he had no choice, Michael decided to commit atrocious deeds, experimenting on children that was drafted from South Trestkania, resuming his research until he was caught and sent to prison for life.

ANGEL units are already the elite of the elites, but a diverse amount of ANGELs that stood out the most are the children Michael used. When they found out about what Michael was doing, Trestkania secretly classified this information and let the kids free, giving them privileged attention by giving them spare money until they are independent. But there are children that objected to this idea and decided to fight in the frontlines, each of them having a very high potential for their usage of their brain, hence resulting in their abnormal state **Cybernetic Overdrive**, a state where you can exceed the threshold of your brain and go to greater heights.

Despite Project ANGEL having an infamous reputation and had already been abolished, the second founder, **Alathea Guishe** revived it. She was the one that found out about Michael’s experiment and made further research about it. She didn’t do this out of profit, but a glimmer of hope that could turn the tides of war.

Alathea had the same mindset as Michael, in war, there must be necessary sacrifices, there are no happy endings in war, and only bloodshed will remain in the end if it keeps going. With her determination, she showed her resolve by giving herself the dosage of the ANGEL serum and turned into the first ANGEL registered to the now improved Project ANGEL, only to be soon researching and creating a more safer method of making ANGELs, but weaker, which will be called SERAPHs.

## List of Known ANGELs

Since the existence of Project ANGEL is barely known to the public, the only logs that lived to see the day were the ones who made great contributions. After the war, the **Overseers of Trestkania** ordered the deletion of every files about their existence and the only source of information about them will now be in history books as unknown heroes of war.

The lists of known ANGELs are:

* **Anellia Thena** - Officer of Intelligence Reconnaissance and Support
* **Orion Veracus** - Frontline Breakthrough Heavy Soldier
* **Lux Lumina** - First-Aid Frontline Medic
* **Alden Thena** - Mobile Aerial Support Unit
* **Kythalos** - Specialized Infiltration Mechanized Officer
* **Alathea Guishe** - Expert Commanding All-seeing Leader
* **Eskieth Eden** -  Explosive Specialist Breach Unit
* **Nox** - Backline Illusionary Handler Support

## Trivia

* ANGELs tend to usually be discriminated against by the soldiers during the war due to fear and pity, though they tend to ignore them and kept fighting till the end. Their silent answer only fanned the flames and discrimination didn't stop until Project ANGEL was disbanded.
* The organization got its name Project ANGEL because of Michael's statement "Killing gods with their creation's creation."
