🪐 AU WORKSHOP


AU WORKSHOP


TIMELINE
2024-2100: Foundations of Change

  • 2057: An international agreement known as the Great Climate Accord is reached to combat climate change, with ambitious goals for reducing carbon emissions, transitioning to renewable energy, and preserving biodiversity.
  • 2060: The development and deployment of advanced green technologies, including carbon capture and sustainable agriculture accelerates. This marks the beginning of a major shift towards environmental sustainability.
  • 2068: The first commercially viable fusion reactor is developed, providing a nearly limitless and clean energy source. This technological leap greatly reduces humanity's reliance on fossil fuels.
  • 2075: Massive efforts in the great ocean restoration project are made to restore damaged marine ecosystems and halt the acidification of oceans, leading to the gradual recovery of marine biodiversity.
  • 2100: Despite significant progress, the late 21st century sees a severe environmental collapse due to previous delays in action and unexpected consequences. Only half of Earth's surface remains viable for human habitation.
2101-2200: Expansion and Innovation

  • 2120: The United Planet successfully establishes the first permanent base on Mars, "New Horizon," to conduct research and prepare for future colonization.
  • 2195: Revolutionary hard-light technology is developed, allowing the creation of highly flexible and durable holographic interfaces and structures.
2201-2300: The Age of Change

  • 2224: The first Hybrids are created.
  • 2247: The Elheen became the First Contact with an alien species for humanity.
  • 2250: An asteroid collision destroys Tellus' moon, causing widespread panic and a significant impact on tidal forces and satellite operations.
  • 2275: The Tellurian Space Academy is established as a prestigious institution for training future generations of space explorers and researchers.
  • 2289: Genetic eugenics is banned.
2301-2400: Challenges and Advancements

  • 2350: Advances in cryosleep technology enable long-duration space travel, allowing crew members to remain in stasis during extended missions beyond the solar system.
  • 2389: Mechs are classified as a species.
  • 2400: New biomechanical technologies are introduced, allowing for advanced integration of human and machine capabilities, improving both medical treatments and operational efficiency.
2401-2524: The New Frontier

  • 2439: The Hybrid Liberation Act is passed.
  • 2427: A stable wormhole is discovered leading to the Andromeda Galaxy, opening new avenues for exploration and colonization.
  • 2464: The Mnemosyne embarks on its historic mission to explore galaxies beyond the Milky Way, carrying a crew of 300 and 100,000 settlers in cryosleep.
2525: The Current Era

Humanity stands on the brink of new discoveries and challenges as the Mnemosyne ventures into uncharted territories, navigating through both known and unknown cosmic phenomena!

Nicholas D Wolfwood | Trigun Maximum

[personal profile] lastdecember 2024-09-17 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Grumpy, practical jerk with a soft squishy center, who spends his childhood adultified into an assistant at the orphanage he was raised in. Wolfwood's everyone's big brother -- he cooks, he cleans, he decides who gets what toys and who is going to help with which chores -- and his love is definitely of the tough variety.

He'll be fully human in this AU, with no mods or other perks -- his people are into austerity as a lifestyle, and that's what will make him such a good resource manager (operations). He's got no family to speak of, no friends, no connections anywhere. He's adrift in life, with only a general idea that he's supposed to 'do good' and help others... but as an awkward bastard with terrible people skills, he's not very good at communicating with others. He joined the Mnemosyne to get away from Tellus more than anything -- he never had any dreams of travel, but he was raised with the idea that there's still too many people on the planet, so he got himself off-planet as soon as he was able.

He'll surprise himself with how eager he is to be of help on the ship once things go wrong, but don't expect that blunt practicality to fade any time soon. Chances are nobody on the ship likes him much, and the feeling's mutual. He's rude, y'all.

Another one for the middle-of-the-night coffee pot crew, trying to stay awake so no remembered horrors™ come at night...

He doesn't want to be a mass murderer! He just wants make sure nobody's wasting food!

Team Grumpy Asshole!!

I fully expect a lot of Wolfwood and Hilbert just nodding at each other and getting back to work in stubborn silence because talking with people is gross? why would they do that?
lastdecember: (Bastard. You'll die with us.)

[personal profile] lastdecember 2024-09-19 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Why the hell would they do that! People are stupid and annoying and greedy and just wrong all the time.

Once Wolfwood starts having memories of being on the wrong end of a shady scientist's unethical experiments, though, he's going to stop nodding at Hilbert and start asking pointed questions instead.

You inject one crew member (it was four) with one virus (it killed two out of the four people) and suddenly YOU'RE the bad guy

Yes! That's how being the bad guy works! Killing is bad! (mostly. probably. Wolfwood was raised by an austerity cult, so killing is about on par with not recycling in his book)
