Icarus Theme
A storm. Not one of rain, of clouds, of thunder, or of lightning but a storm of sand and wind. The storm rages on blinding the gaze of all life unfortunate enough to be trapped in its grasp, smoothing every surface it touches. The storm fades, the dust slowly settling back into the desert it took wings from. As fast as your sight returns to you it is taken away by a bright light. The light of the Sun. Beating down on the land, filling it with life and burning it away. A sun so close you could touch it. As your eyes adjust they settle on the image jutting up from the sand. A tower.
There at its feet, stands two armies fighting over a piece of the sun that fell to earth, kept in a great tower stabbed into the sands. One side wielding the technology of old. Technology that scorched the world over, technology that should have never existed, technology not merely integrated in arms and armor but the body and soul, technology letting them reach heights thought unscalable.
For the Old World was a world of great innovation, art, science, advancement, and hope. Have anything, be anyone, do anything, all with the push of a button?for those who could afford it at least. For the Old World was also a world of great chaos, war, conspiracy, and greed. This is what they sought in the tower but the Old World does not so easily give up it?s secrets? it?s bounty.
In the tower stands a man, a great warrior, a Paladin. He stands apposed to the man that leads him. Even with their technology, their power, their pride, even the greatest of armies can fall to those it sees as ants if the one who leads them has the Sun in his eyes. The warrior?s pleads fall on a deaf ear of the man. ?I almost have it,? he tells him. ?Almost have what? We cant stay here, we need to retreat. I told you this would happen!?
?Then go deal with it! I have work to do.?
?Elder-?
?Thats an order!?
?Yes?Sir.?
He leaves him to the terminal hes working on. When humanity lifted its feet off the earth, it lifted up a veil of doubt over the hearts of man. Everything was within their sight and grasp, everything became achievable. But that achievement fell back to earth, back to humanity, and scorched it clean. Some men never learn. He taps a key on the terminal and it lights up, he takes a step back looking up at the light falling down on him. Golden wings burst and outstretch from him, lifting him off the ground. He flies up through the tower, above the armies, above of the clouds in the sky, above the satellites of earth and the pillars of light coming down, towards what he was seeking.
As he approaches, he is awe of it's beauty, it's radiance. Screaming in agony, his achievement blinds him to his doom. But before he can reach it, it scorches him to ash. The red mist fall back, settling to the earth, forming a blood red cloud over his grave.

Basically the project is a rewrite of Fallout: New Vegas made in roleplay form and separated into Story Arcs this is the teaser for the story arc Codename: Icarus. t is a non-linear story that is fully capable of being used in a roleplay environment. Codename: Icarus is one of 2 Story Arcs that are of more original work taking small and offscreen events that happened in the base game of New Vegas and turning them into a much larger epic story revolving around the Brotherhood of Steel. The story has many inspirations from Deus Ex: Human revolution. This is one of several Teasers Ill be posting up here in the near future. If anyone is interested in such a roleplay please tell me because you know...thats the whole point.
