Everyone knows about Tragox, but I've never mentioned my other worlds. I will do them in separate posts for organization.
Silver bullet
Based off of Warhammer40k
Silver bullet is a fantasy/sci-fi environment set in the year 47k
At this time, there are few races in Silver bullet. But more will come.
There are 3 different "races" of human. The 4 corners. The 5 corner. And the 1st call.
4 Corners
The 4 corners are similar to space marines in their personality and appearance. The helmets are more like knight helmets, instead of little glowy slits they have the visor of a knight. They believe in the 5 kings, the 1st king, of light and life, the 2nd king, of fire and thunder, the 3rd king, of earth and sky, the 4th king, or water and ice, and the 5th king. The king of Darkness and death. The first 4 kings created the world and the 5th king tried to make it a hell, but the 1st king took the blow and was cursed for eternity, the 5th king was banished to an alien planet.
The 5th corner
A cult of humans who serve the 5th king. They believe he brought death and darkness to the universe to provide a balance, not to destroy. And seek to avenge him. They have been mutated by the 5th kings presence and are mostly fallen knights of the 4 corners. (the knights are called Palaius. While the fallen are called Necrainoth.)
The 1st call
A very large group of humans who left the planet before the story of the 5 kings spread. They believe the 5 kings to be myths and legends, not reality, and are targeted by the other humans for they're "heresy".
Another group of races are the ancients. These are magical creatures who have survived since the days of old. Not all are on our side...
Dwarves
The Dwarves haven't changed much in 47 thousand years. They are still small and heavily armored, but with the invention of guns, they started to use explosives more than conventional weapons. They are strong, slow and heavy warriors. Using a wide range of steam punk vehicles and armor. They believe that there isn't a god, or any kings ruling over us all. They take a no-nonsense look at life and act as if science can explain everything. Even though alot don't know that much about physics.
Elves
The elves have changed the most out of all the races. They now prefer to use technology over magic, only using they're spells for constructing they're weapons and for last resort tactics. They have technology more advanced than the other races, hovertanks for instance, and pulse rifles. They do believe in some kind of an entity watching over us, and they're "god" looks like a fallen angel. They try to make they're weapons and tech as sleek as possible. Alot like a mix between the Tau and the Eldar.
The alliance
The alliance are a group of magical creatures who have banded together, due to their constant abuse from the other races. They have minotaurs, centaurs, hydras, mer-people and even a few ghosts helping them out! This race is relatively new to technology and only has basic understanding of how to make tanks and vehicles.
Kruglors
The Kruglors are every goblin, ogre, troll and orc banded together in one united army. They believe in the gods Krug and Lor. Lor is supposed to be smart, but weak, and Krug is supposed to be stupid, but strong. Krug is normally thought to be the higher of the 2, as orcs prefer brawn over brain. They're weaponry is very old fashioned and a little steam punky. They like to make armor and guns overly bulky, with the belief that "Big means boomier!". Unlike WH40K orks, the orcs vocabulary does not consist of words like "Boyz" or "da". But they don't use certain words. Like "of" and "the" in some occasions. Like "I want bigger gun!". The Goblins are pretty smart for they're size, but they are treated so badly they never have time to think of a way to escape. The goblins only agreed to fight for the orcs because they were scared.
Dragons
The dragons, oddly enough, are not the 4 legged monstrosities that we associate the word with. They are dragon like, and have dragon allies in they're army, but they are humanoid lizard creatures with all the abilities of dragons. They are recently evolved from dragons and do not have any real technology to speak of. They still use steel swords and armor. But most prefer to use they're claws and breath.
And then there's the technos. Newly found aliens and robots, that sort of thing.
Skulls
Skulls are odd alien creatures that are almost literally skin and bone. The muscles are small and located inside the bones, while all the vital organs are kept in the skull with the brain. As a result of this they're heartbeat is much faster and they need to breath 10x as fast as us. They are weak, due to having no real natural defenses, but they are very fast, due to being light. They're skulls are similar to ours, and they are all born without tails. This is because of the reproductive system they use..
Spawn/worm-Spawn enters human/alien host through the mouth- the bone marrow inside the human is removed and replaced with muscles- the worm empties it's insides in the human head, which are placed by smaller worms inside the original worm- the body parts are in place and the human brain is removed to save space- the skeleton rips out from under the skin and flesh.
As you can see, the Skulls are based off of aliens. The symptoms of an infection are..
A. Throat pain (as the spawn goes down the throat)
B. Back pain (as the spawn begins to add the muscle)
C. Feeling stiff and having odd twitchings every now and again (as the muscles are being attached to the brain)
D. Death (the process is complete and the brain is destroyed)
The main weakness of a skull is the skull, as it is the only place where the organs could be stored, shooting it in the skull will destroy it's vital organs and kill it. The skulls have no rational thought and only think of eating, drinking, and getting more spawns into more bodies. The spawns are produced inside the ribs, as muscles aren't really needed for proper movement there.
The Organics
The name is quite misleading actually, the organics are robots. Started by a robot known as "the original". He saw the humans making ships and weapons out of metal, and it distressed and scared him. Think about it from his point of view, if someone took a bag of flesh and made a house, you would be a bit freaked out. So the original thought, if it is bad for me to use flesh, it is bad for them to use metal, and they should be punished. He killed the humans and crashed the ship on a nearby comet, where he dissasembled the ship and made a robotic army. Then he used the bodies of the crew to create weapons, armor, and ships for them to use. Then they spread across the galaxy... The appearence is alot like that of a WH40K necron, the body shapes are the same, but they have 2 spine-like tails, one coming from the pelvis and another from the middle of the back. The heads are designed to be like short capsules, with a single red light on the end. Some high ranking organics are upgraded to have heads shaped more like skulls and extra tails. The original carries a bone staff with the skulls of the captain and the scientist who made him on the end. He has 13 tails altogether, 3 on the pelvis and 10 coming from his back, which dance around like freaky tentacles. The organics prefer mechs over regular units, and since all mechs are made with skin and flesh, they are the sort of army you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley.
What is your favorite race, what is your least favorite race, and why?

There are 3 more things I forgot.
Lycanthropes: For those who don't know, Lycanthrope is a fancy word for werewolf. They are now smart enough to use basic medieval weaponry. They're in the bronze age, essentially.
Vampires: If the elves are eldar, these are dark eldar. With blood sucking power.
1st corner: A secret order of the 4 corners. Sort of like grey knights, but they are only sent to fight if there is a sign from the kings or relic of high importance. And they will go so far as to kill their own to get relics.
Crosse
Crosse is based off of nothing else. This is entirely my own imagination. First, the places
Earth: Earth has become a barren wasteland due to pollution, the air is barely breathable and nothing lives on it anymore.
Citadel City: An antigravitorial city just above earth, it is huge, and can carry the entire population of earth. It uses the anti gravity technology to hold in it's own atmosphere
The outpost: A small army base on earths surface, the inside has air clearners, meaning is is possible to breath inside.
Fortress 101: The robot's fortress. Has a huge courtyard outside, surrounded by electric fences and huge sniper towers. Inside it a palace where the robotic leaders stay.
The other city: There are legends that another city like citadel city floats over earth aswell.
Then, the people.
Robot empire: The robots are intent of the humans demise.. But I haven't decided why yet. They each have guns on their arms, mostly chainguns
.
M.O.G.D.A.L.E: the ministry of global defence and law enforcement. They use advanced sheilding technology to make their armors nearly indistructable by the human weapons... But the robots tear through them like nothing.
V.P: The Visor project. These are cyborg warriors, chosen from the G.M.O.D to serve as the commanders, spec ops, covert ops, heavy weps, and pretty much every big thing you can think of. They use complicated energy weapons attatched to the wrists, these are only used by them. The weapons can either be used as energy blades, or as energy projectiles. Only one is left alive, and one missing in action. Each one had differently shaped eyeholes to identify them.
Brothers in arms: The brothers don't always work together. They are a band of mercenaries and bounty hunters, they think of nothing but themselves.
And the main characters...
Crosse: The last known V.P. His wrist weapons are broken and can only make energy blades now. He sometimes blacks out when He rarely talks to anyone unless he has to.
Snipe: A robot and member of the brothers in arms. Unlike the robot empire, he does not care what happens to mankind. He just does what he has to do to survive. Him and crosse have only met once. And they met as foes.
Technoth: Technoth is a huge machine, sometimes called "the titan" he is very different from the other robots. His feet are claw like and his legs bend backwards at the knee, like an animal. His hands are gigantic energy weapons that could take down 2 tanks in one shot. He has never seen Crosse. And most humans don't even know he exists.
Technos: Technos is.. In a way, Technoth's son. He is more humanoid than Technoth, and wears a red cape. He commands the armies of the robot empire.
Technia: Technia is the daugher of Technoth. She is also humaoid, and is nearly identical to Technos, she is designed to act and look like a teenage
girl.
And the story so far...
> The M.O.G.D.A.L.E Is founded on citadel city. As a counteract to recent terrorist activity.
> The first robot attack. They don't make it to Citadel city, but the G.M.O.D forces are weakenned heavily
> The V.P are chosen and equipped
> The war continues and the V.Ps are incredibly succesful.
> The first V.P causalty. The humans begin to get scared.
> Robots are driven back.
> Technos gets involved.
> The M.O.G.D.A.L.E are slaughtered and the V.P are evenly matched.
> Most of the V.Ps are killed. Only Crosse and 180 remains.
> 180 goes missing. Crosse goes mad and takes on the core of the robot army by himself.
> Crosse succeeds in driving them back, to the amazement of the M.O.G.D.A.L.E
> The robot attacks slow to a halt. And Crosse is awarded with thousands of medals and trophies for his efforts.
> Crosse retires.
> The brothers in arms start assasinating people of high political importance.
> Crosse is asked to fight the threat. He declines.
> Snipe is sent to kill Crosse.
> Crosse defends himself against him.
> Snipe is injured and escapes.
> Peace for a long time.
> The second robot war begins.
The rest will be told in small stories I will tell on this topic.

*sigh*
It's a bit complicated, I can't just put it into single sentences. Also, my 3rd world has a website.

Still complicated, but more fun. Enjoy!

This isn't so much a world, but a load of characters. This might be the kind of thing Nerodx wanted.
World: Exactly like our world, 2009. A few extra technologies but other than that nothing special.
Characters:
Fluid
Fluid is an.. Odd person, his skin is black, literally, black, a bit shiny on the surface. His clothes (overcoat, shirt and tie) have the same look about them. Apart from the shirt, which is still shiny but white. On contact with anything, his skin ripples, and if he hits something too hard, his hand splashes. Infact, he's liquid. He can change his form with his mind.
Simpler:
A guy made of liquid.
Sol
Sol is dark gray, he is completely solid and wears a gray trench coat. He can make himself heavier and tougher than normal.
Simpler:
A big strong gray skinned guy.
Wisp
Wisp is light gray, and has an odd texture to him, it feels like you aren't touching him at all. And basically, you aren't. He is made entirely of gas. Just like Fluid he holds himself together and can change shape. (e.g from solid, to gas, gas floats behind you, solid.. You get what happens next.)
Simpler:
A light gray guy who is made of gas.
Viscid
Viscid is white, and has almost exactly the same powers as fluid. Only his liquid is much stickier and more like web.
Simpler:
A white guy who is made of sticky liquid.
Story (there is no simpler way of telling this.):
A pitch black baby is found, naked in the woods. No-one knows how or why it's there. It's taken to an orphanage where it shows strange powers. The first record of it was when a staff member found a puddle of black liquid on her floor, she ignored it, but later she found the black child in the same place, no-one had left or entered the room.
The black child, christened Damien, but nicknamed Fluid, grew up and became a wealthy businessmen, he got in some trouble with a gang and used his powers to beat them. A nearby civilian saw him, and took interest. The next day Fluid gets a call, informing him his powers could be used in the business of death.. Fluid never really cared about other people, and was always very cold towards others. He accepts. Fluid is a very successful hitman, while he doesn't leave an evidence, he always leaves a little mark, letting everyone know it was the same murderer. His symbol was a single black droplet, which he drew on the door of his victims home. After a very successful run, he finds a news report of 3 vigilantes with strange powers. They called themselves, Sol, Wisp and the leader, Viscid. They terrorize innocent people, using their various powers together in a deadly combination. They send the same message to everyone who gets a chance to talk to them...
Where is our little brother?
Of course, short stories tell the rest.

Data log - Sargent Grout
147th battalion
Day 7
Ugh. Those damn robots are tearing through us like fire through hot ice... Today Hornet died, and Wasp isn't taking it too well. We're starting to run out of ammo, but command keeps telling us to stay put. Ugh, they have no idea what it's like out here. The desert is too hot to go out, and even if our AC works, the robots have us surrounded. Scope went up top to try and snipe them out, but he hasn't come back yet. I heard heavy footsteps, I think they're got a heavy outside. If so, we're screwed. Grout, out.
Crosse opened his eyes, they glowed yellow underneath his visor, he had a dream where he was back with his friends, back before the desert. But now he couldn't even get freedom from his armor. He grabbed his visor and tried to pull it off, before remembering it was fused to his face. He got up and stood at the window. His armor was orange, camoflage, though he also had a big black cape, which wouldn't have helped him hide, but his energy wrist weapons meant he didn't need to hide. He looked down at his arm, he was still bleeding after the assassin tried to kill him last night. He grabbed his arm and tried to hold the wound shut, it was too deep and wide. He sighed and shifted his W.E.W (wrist energy weapon) round to cover it up. He looked out the window and saw a cloud of smoke in the desert, he used the visor to get a better look, it was a heavy drone. The drones were the basic of the robot armies, they're bodies were big spheres, with a red light going round about a third up, when the robots spoke the light would flicker in tune to their voice, it's 2 red eyes were just above, it's limbs were thin, but as they got to the joint they became similar to the body, its feet were giant claws and it was equipped with a jetpack and minigun hands. Crosse ignored it at first. but then he looked to the right, he saw what looked like a ruin, from before the desert, the top of a carpark or skyscraper. He saw a dead M.O.G.D.A.L.E marine on top. Crosse looked around the area and saw medium drones all over the place, surrounding it. Crosse jumped from the window he was on and let himself fall, he lived on the 21st floor of a high security building. They neglected to tell him not to jump out of the windows, he braced himself for impact, but he survived the fall, creating a crater on the ground. He looked up and ran forwards toward the building and towards the robot swarm.
Meanwhile...
Snipe sat impatiently in a chair ontop of the very building in which Crosse lived in. He silently unloaded and reloaded a single energy pistol. He was supposed to get a hovercopter to his next target, but they were running late.
"Come on.. I haven't got all day."
Snipe put the pistol in his holster and looked over the edge of the building. His guns and his armor were black, with gray patterns in some areas, his head looked more like a helmet than a head, with a visor on the front which he didn't need, as his "eyes" were just underneath. He saw a small yellow object running towards the edge of the city, he pulled out a set of binoculars and looked at it.
"Ah.. Crosse.."
He reached for his back, where he kept his sniper rifle, most guns these days still used bullets, as they were invisible to the naked eye while flying and much easier to create, but Snipe prefered energy weapons. Like his sniper rifle, he fired and the energy beam flew right past Crosses head. Crosse stopped and turned round, he looked up at Snipe and ignited his energy blades, Snipe fired again, this time it flew right towards Crosse and hit.. His energy blade, it bounced off. Crosse then took 5 steps backwards, he felt the edge just behind his feet. He jumped off backwards, Snipe tried to shoot him but Crosse deflected it mid-flip and let himself fall.
"Damnit I hate V.Ps."

Phew. I nearly forgot about this. Anyway, to confuse nerodx a bit more... The races of silver bullet are... Complicated, I'm going to explain them one by one and have a little story of them in action to go with it.
4 Corners
The 4 corners are, oddly enough, split into 3 main parts.
1. The Silver Swordsmen (my personal favs)
2. The Bronze Knights
3. The Golden Paladins
Each specialize in killing different foes, like Silver Swordsmen are equipped with stave guns and silver blades, so they can kill vampires and werewolves. Bronze are best against orcs, goblins, elves, and basically all of the mystical creatures. While gold is best at fighting demons, magic, that sort of thing. After an army of the 4 corners lasts long enough it is allowed to dedicate itself to one of the 6 elements.
Water
Ice (Water and Ice are considered different elements for story reasons)
Fire
Lightning
Earth
Air
When they do the leader will get access to new weapons and armor for his troops. Based around the element they chose. The main weapon of the 4 corners is the D-47 "Piercer" it works sort of like a crossbow really, it's attached to the wrists of the knights (I'm using knights as a global term for them now) and fires small sharp projectiles at high speeds, almost always killing the enemy. They can be upgraded and customized (like the silver swordsmen D-48 stave launchers) but most knights prefer to leave it as it is. Most knights also have swords but not all.
Each army is separated into "Temples" 1st temple, 2nd temple, 3rd temple, and so on. Every army can have an unlimited amount of temples, but most prefer to stop at 10. Each temple is given different equipment, making the army less predictable and more deadly. The 1st temples are always given the best equipment and the highest numbered temple will always get the worst. Over time the equipment can spread out between temples, making them stronger.
There are several armies of the 4 corners, the most famous ones are-
Silver flame- Silver - Their symbol is a single white flame. They concentrate on close combat and attack over defense.
Shining light- Golden - Their symbol is a white star. They prefer defense over offense, but they use a balance of close and ranged combat.
Green knights- Bronze - Their symbol is a orcs skull on a bronze blade. They almost never use ranged combat, preferring to get in the fight. They rarely attack the dwarves, elves or alliance, preferring instead to kill orcs and goblins. To become a green knight you must go through a barbaric ritual, which leaves most knights as savage and as brutal as the enemy they hunt.
Sons of the 2nd king - Golden - The 2nd king was the king of destruction, of lightning and of fire. As such, these destroy anything in their path, be it orc or dwarf or elf or demon, they will stop at nothing until it is dead. They use a near-perfect balance of close combat, ranged combat, attack and defense.
Knightblade - Assorted - The Knightblades are an odd army, every temple has dedicated themselves to a different way of fighting. The 1st temple is golden paladins of fire, while the 3rd is bronze of water (a rare combination!). It cannot be said which fighting style they prefer, as each temple fights differently.

Planet Nectoth
14-5-00
The night was still. Dead wolf-like creatures lay on the ground. The dead trees that littered the battlefield swung slowly and silently in the cold air. This is how it was on the dark side of Nectoth. Some humans, clad in heavy Silver armor with strange devices on their wrists walked through the barren wasteland. One of them wore heavier armor and didn't wear a helmet. He was an old man, balding, wrinkly, but you could tell from the look on his face that he was not one to be messed with. He carried a halberd in both hands, and he did not have a device on his wrist. The knights checked the bodies One of them looked up from a body and waved his arm as a signal to come closer. The old man walked towards the knight, holding his halberd like a staff in one hand. When the man got there he looked down in disgust at what he had found. It was a small golden box, with ornate drawings all over it and a small but bright white light coming from inside it, but the drawings had been covered up by more brutish and childish drawings in green.
"Orcs."
"What are they doing on Nectoth?"
"It doesn't matter. We have to return this to terra and clean it up."
The knight bent down to pick up the relic but the man grabbed his arm.
"Wh-"
"Shhh"
The man looked round and listened. He heard a rustle in the bushes. The man turned round to his knights.
"Knights! Be on-"
He didn't get to finish before a black bat-like creature swooped from the skies and took one of the knights with it.
"OPEN FIRE!"
The knights held their wrists out and started firing the bolts at the creature, it managed to fly away with the knight still in its hands.
"HQ told us no Vampires!"
"Damnit I brought the Silver Piercer!"
The man sighed.
"Someone grab this relic, we need to get out of here before more of those things arrive."
"What do you mean more?"
"One knight doesn't have enough blood to feed a family. Lets move."
The knight who found the relic picked it up carefully with both hands and the knights walked on with the relic carrier in the middle.
"Lets hope this relic is more important than the knight we lost."
4 Corners
The 4 corners are, oddly enough, split into 3 main parts.
1. The Silver Swordsmen (my personal favs)
2. The Bronze Knights
3. The Golden Paladins
Each specialize in killing different foes, like Silver Swordsmen are equipped with stave guns and silver blades, so they can kill vampires and werewolves. Bronze are best against orcs, goblins, elves, and basically all of the mystical creatures. While gold is best at fighting demons, magic, that sort of thing. After an army of the 4 corners lasts long enough it is allowed to dedicate itself to one of the 6 elements.
Water
Ice (Water and Ice are considered different elements for story reasons)
Fire
Lightning
Earth
Air
When they do the leader will get access to new weapons and armor for his troops. Based around the element they chose. The main weapon of the 4 corners is the D-47 "Piercer" it works sort of like a crossbow really, it's attached to the wrists of the knights (I'm using knights as a global term for them now) and fires small sharp projectiles at high speeds, almost always killing the enemy. They can be upgraded and customized (like the silver swordsmen D-48 stave launchers) but most knights prefer to leave it as it is. Most knights also have swords but not all.
Each army is separated into "Temples" 1st temple, 2nd temple, 3rd temple, and so on. Every army can have an unlimited amount of temples, but most prefer to stop at 10. Each temple is given different equipment, making the army less predictable and more deadly.

Kruglors
The kruglors somehow managed to survive the dark ages, the industrial ages, and all the way through human history with little technology and little organisation.
The orc language is very simple, they use nouns and verbs, butnot any other words. They can sometimes use Adjectives but not alot. Orcs are mostly scavengers, using stolen spacecraft, and painting them with brutal yet childish paintings in green paint. They reproduce extremely quickly, creating numbers so large they are sometimes called "Green Tide" (I think thats from WH40K, but I'm not sure). The orcs are split into tribes, most tribes attack each other in competition, but a few work together. Each one is ruled over by the Alpha Orc, or as they call it "Boss". There are lots of tribes and far too many to mention. But the biggest is the "Green" who are ruled by, probably the biggest orc known to mankind, Kof. Goblins are smart, but are weak, and are always used as suicide bombers and distractions. Orcs are strong and stupid, ogres understand some things but are mostly instinctual, and trolls are completely instinctual creatures who need atleast 10 orcs to keep them from destroying everything. The orcs choose their leader on how strong they are. They don't like choosing ogres and trolls because of the way they think. Or as Kof says.. "Ogres dumb. Trolls dumber. Goblins weak. Orcs stronger!". They travel around the galaxy like the other races, but instead of using the official names they name them after the color and shape of the planet. (Earth is "Blue ball")

Black ball
The black sky was now becoming a dark purple, on Nectoth there was the dark side and the light side, the light side was too close to the sun, nothing could survive, the dark side never saw the light of day. It saw a slight fraction of it once a week but then everything returned to dark within the hour. Like now.
The silver cladded knights continued the journey through the Darkness. One of them stopped.
"Hold up."
The other knights stopped and turned round, the man looked around in all directions.
"What is it?"
"I heard something. Something big."
"An alpha wolf?"
"No.. Not that big.."
They all heard a low rumble in the distance.
"RUN!"
The knights ran for it, but the one carrying the relic couldn't keep up and fell over.
"Vor!"
The man ran over to the knight to help him up but before he could a green figure jumped from the trees and cut Vor in half with it's whirring blade. the green figure turned round. It was humanoid, but looked exaggerated, almost like someone had blown up balloons inside its arms. It had 2 tiny little horns in their heads and heavy metal armor, painted green and with a little bit of smoke emitting from it's back. It's hands were inside metallic gauntlets, one had a chainsaw attachment, still covered in blood from the kill, the other a shotgun, a small robotic arm poked out from the bottom of the gauntlet and held the shotgun barrel.
"It's a heavy."
The orc lifted it's shotgun and the robotic arm pulled back the pump and then pushed it forwards again, an empty shell fell from the shotgun, this orc had killed before. The Knights started running away.
"WAIT!"
The man had stayed behind. He stared at them with a disgruntled look.
"Don't tell me your going to leave the relic?"
The man quickly spun round and jumped out of the way as the orc opened fire, the first shot missed him completely, but it hit one of the knights arms
"AAHH!"
The man ran up to the orc with his great halberd in both hands, the orc revved his saw and blocked the mans strike, they struggled but the orc lifted his shotgun to the mans stomach, the arm pulled back the pump, and a silver bolt flew through the air into the orcs head. The orc fell to the ground. Dead. The man kicked the body and looked at Vor. He sighed.
"He managed to survive. But he won't for long."
"Isn't there anything we can do for him?"
"We haven't done anything for injured knights since the 5th king went rogue. Nothing we can do for him."
The man looked down at the knight and lifted the still intact Piercer off of his wrist, what was left of the mans face smiled as the silver bolt went though his heart. The man quickly attached the Piercer to his own wrist. The knights picked up the relic and continued.

4 Corners
Lycanthropes
Lycanthrope or Lycan is a fancy word for werewolf, and as you can tell they prefer the fancier word. I'll just call them wolves to make it easier.
The wolves have 5 states.
1. At a full moon they become savage, instinctual, beasts, this lasts for about a week after being bitten.
2. At night they become brutal, but smart creatures. this lasts for 2 to 3 weeks.
3. At night and whenever they are angered they become intelligent, tall monstrosities, stronger and smarter than before. this lasts from 4 weeks to a month.
4. They are permanently transformed into huge yet extremely smart creatures.
5. They continue becoming smarter and growing. At this stage they are called.
The human mind and the wolf mind are completely separated, they may have small memories, or the feeling of familiarity when they are near they're own homes, but apart from that the wolf is separated from his other half. The symptoms of an infection are-
Hunger spikes
Extra hair
Animal-like eyes (rare)
Odd behavior
Becoming extremely tired before and after the full moon.
Most of the wolves human forms know of the infection, the ones that don't slowly become wolves until they are erased from the brain entirely, the ones that do normally run and hide, but once they reach phase 4 they join the rest of the pack. The 4 corners have had rare cases of people willing to sacrifice themselves to stop themselves from becoming a wolf. No cure has been made for the infection, as it is magical. And no medicine can cure magic. However, it takes a day before the infection can take hold of the body, so if a man gets medical attention within 24 hours of a bite he can be saved. But most don't make it.
The wolves travel in packs, which normally stay away from each other, some wolf packs like to meet with others, as the werewolves are strangely social creatures, but most prefer solitude, letting other packs past instead of inviting them to tea. A wolf will always look up to the one that infected him, like a father figure. The alpha wolf is rarely looked at like a father and is treated more like a general or a commander than a family member. The wolves have stolen spacecraft in the past, to reach other planets and infect them, but most prefer the dark and quiet solitude of Nectoth.

Nectoth.
The knights continued walking on, but they were growing tired now. The man didn't show any signs of fatigue, and instead kept thinking about the skeletons. Somethings must have been fighting here, not vampires, they don't leave bones, and not orcs or wolves, the skulls weren't the right shape..
"Sir... S. Sir..."
the man stopped and looked as his knights stopped and panted.
"We need a rest sir."
"...Fair enough. I'll keep watch."
the knights sighed in relief and collapsed to the ground. The one carrying the relic nearly crushed himself with it. The knights never fell asleep, the armor prevented that, but they might as well have done. they lay on the ground, almost motionless.
The man looked round the forest. It was quiet, which was to be expected on Nectoth due to the lack of life there.. But the man kept imagining he was seeing and hearing things. He was smart enough to tell the difference between imagination and reality, but the last sound he heard, he wasn't so sure about. He heard a howl. The knights sat up.
"Wolves. On the hunt."
The knights got up and one grabbed the relic.
"Are we going to fight?"
"No. I've lost enough men today."
the knights ran, the one with the relic still couldn't keep up.
"HELP!"
The man stopped, he turned round and took the relic from the knight. He heard another howl, this time closer and deeper.
"KNIGHTS! RUN!"
The man could run as fast as the knights, even with the relic in his arms. The howling continued to get closer, and closer, and closer. The knights could see their ship in the distance with the Marksmen surrounding it.
"START THE ENGINE ON THAT THING!"
The men stood up and hesitated.
"NOW!"
The marksmen ran into the huge carrier, the low rumble of the ships thrusters filled the silent night. the man ran to the hatch on the ship and threw the relic inside, 2 marksmen caught it. the man stayed behind and waited for the other nights to come. He said their names as they went in.
"Scot, Breach, Mark, John, Harry, George, Alex, thats all of them!"
Suddenly a Werewolf jumped out of the darkness and attacked the man.
"ARGH!"
The wolf held on to the mans halberd, trying to push him to the floor, the man tried firing the piercer but it kept firing over his shoulder. The Wolf managed to get the man down, he couldn't get him off, a knight ran outside and slashed the wolf with his sword, the wolf screamed as the silver burned it's skin on contact, it leaped at the man and bit through his silver armor even as it burned his face off, the man pushed the, now weakened wolf over and sliced him while he was down. The man panted and the knight helped him on board.
"Right. Everyone's here. Take off."
As they left, they could still hear the howls of the wolves from below, and the man looked out of the window as he heard them.
"Scot?"
"Yes sir?"
"Firstly stop calling me sir. Azaro or Az is better."
"Alright Azaro."
"Secondly, what are the chances of a wolves infection going through silver?"
"The silver burns wolf flesh, not the infection.
The man looked at his arm, the metal was still dented and cracked where the wolf tried attacking him. He saw a little bit of blood exit the wounds.
"Why did you want to know? Was someone bitten?"
"No.. No, not at all...."

NEW WORLD!
And.. Yes, I'm abandoning the story of Captain Azaro... For now.
Right. This world is based off of some random drawings I did, which I would show you but my scanner isn't working... Anyways. The characters are.. Like a mix of bubble-men and stickmen, they have arms and legs, but they aren't completely skinny like stickmen. They're balloon-men..
It's a bit hard to explain.. But they look like this guy.
You know, short, thick arms and legs.. That sort of thing.
Anyway. Here is the storyline:
In this world, technology isn't a huge thing. They have all kinds of huge technological objects, including boats that fly! (Explained later). The reason they prefer not to use technology, is because some people are.. Gifted at birth, with special powers. Powers that aren't supposed to be possible, but they are. These gifted children, are born being able to control the elements themselves.
By the time I'm telling you this story, the gifted children have grown up and have learned how to control their powers, of course, more were born afterwards, but they didn't survive. Because of the Imperial Sky Navy...
See, the world uses a political system similar to ours, you have a president who decides what happens, a goverment that decides whether that is ok, and the people who choose who the president is. Only this system covers the world, one president, one goverment, one nation.
One day, that changed. Small groups of people decided they wanted to start their own nation, and be free from the rest of the world.
Of course, the president didn't like that. He checked with the goverment, they gave him support, thinking the nation would cause anarchy, and that attacking it wouldn't cause too much trouble. The people disagreed, but before they could do anything, the sky boats had already deployed the troops.
The people were mad, some rioted, but most started another nation, this time, a warrior's nation, one that would be able to defend itself if the president attacked them too. And of course, he did. The resulting war wiped out the small nation, but managed to take the attack force with it. The president thought that would scare them, stop them from rioting, but it just made it worse. The goverment tried to tell him to stop the killing, but in the end he killed them too.
Before it was 1 president, 1 goverment, 1 nation.
Now it was 1 army, 1 emperor, 1 empire.
Soldiers filled the streets, of course people protested against the violence, but if they did the soldiers just used violence on them. The people couldn't do anything to stop this madness without being wiped out.
Then came the gifted children. They were all born from different families in different cities, some in different countries. Their parents, on discovery of their powers, kept them secret. Each one of them, one day got a letter from someone who called himself "White" telling them to meet up in an area that people were not supposed to be allowed to go into. Of course, the families all went to this one spot, which was an abandoned old prison. White told them to leave the gifted ones behind, and that he would train them. And, he did. He was born with powers aswell, unlike the children, he could control all elements, while they could only control one each. The children were brought to him as babies, and as they grew up, they forgot their families and chose new names.
Bolt: Summoner of lightning.
Spark: Bringer of fire.
Fluid: Controller of water.
Steel: Bender of metal.
Stone: Changer of earth.
Wisp: Manipulator of wind.
They then fought against the president's army, now named, the Imperial Sky Navy, and brought some crushing blows to the empire. But while all this was happening, Steel's mother, a thousand miles away from where he was, became pregnant. 9 months later, she gave birth to another gifted child. At first, strange things happened around the house, objects disappearing, objects, actually changing shape. One day, the parents of the child started arguing, he was only 5 and didn't understand, he was confused, scared, angry, and the anger and fear and confusion built up until he lost control of his powers...
The resulting explosion killed his entire family.

Is another Story.
(More short stories for you later.)
And.. Yes, I'm abandoning the story of Captain Azaro... For now.
Right. This world is based off of some random drawings I did, which I would show you but my scanner isn't working... Anyways. The characters are.. Like a mix of bubble-men and stickmen, they have arms and legs, but they aren't completely skinny like stickmen. They're balloon-men..
It's a bit hard to explain.. But they look like this guy.
You know, short, thick arms and legs.. That sort of thing.
Anyway. Here is the storyline:
In this world, technology isn't a huge thing. They have all kinds of huge technological objects, including boats that fly! (Explained later). The reason they prefer not to use technology, is because some people are.. Gifted at birth, with special powers. Powers that aren't supposed to be possible, but they are. These gifted children, are born being able to control the elements themselves.
By the time I'm telling you this story, the gifted children have grown up and have learned how to control their powers, of course, more were born afterwards, but they didn't survive. Because of the Imperial Sky Navy...
See, the world uses a political system similar to ours, you have a president who decides what happens, a goverment that decides whether that is ok, and the people who choose who the president is. Only this system covers the world, one president, one goverment, one nation.
One day, that changed. Small groups of people decided they wanted to start their own nation, and be free from the rest of the world.
Of course, the president didn't like that. He checked with the goverment, they gave him support, thinking the nation would cause anarchy, and that attacking it wouldn't cause too much trouble. The people disagreed, but before they could do anything, the sky boats had already deployed the troops.
The people were mad, some rioted, but most started another nation, this time, a warrior's nation, one that would be able to defend itself if the president attacked them too. And of course, he did. The resulting war wiped out the small nation, but managed to take the attack force with it. The president thought that would scare them, stop them from rioting, but it just made it worse. The goverment tried to tell him to stop the killing, but in the end he killed them too.
Before it was 1 president, 1 goverment, 1 nation.
Now it was 1 army, 1 emperor, 1 empire.
Soldiers filled the streets, of course people protested against the violence, but if they did the soldiers just used violence on them. The people couldn't do anything to stop this madness without being wiped out.
Then came the gifted children. They were all born from different families in different cities, some in different countries. Their parents, on discovery of their powers, kept them secret. Each one of them, one day got a letter from someone who called himself "White" telling them to meet up in an area that people were not supposed to be allowed to go into. Of course, the families all went to this one spot, which was an abandoned old prison. White told them to leave the gifted ones behind, and that he would train them. And, he did. He was born with powers aswell, unlike the children, he could control all elements, while they could only control one each. The children were brought to him as babies, and as they grew up, they forgot their families and chose new names.
Bolt: Summoner of lightning.
Spark: Bringer of fire.
Fluid: Controller of water.
Steel: Bender of metal.
Stone: Changer of earth.
Wisp: Manipulator of wind.
They then fought against the president's army, now named, the Imperial Sky Navy, and brought some crushing blows to the empire. But while all this was happening, Steel's mother, a thousand miles away from where he was, became pregnant. 9 months later, she gave birth to another gifted child. At first, strange things happened around the house, objects disappearing, objects, actually changing shape. One day, the parents of the child started arguing, he was only 5 and didn't understand, he was confused, scared, angry, and the anger and fear and confusion built up until he lost control of his powers...
The resulting explosion killed his entire family.
From then on, the child wandered.. Alone, no-one knew him, as he was hidden all his life, no-one cared about him. In the eyes of everyone else, he was nothing. That's why they named him Zero.
He found a letter on the ground outside where he normally slept, it told him to go to meet White. He started his journey, with high hopes for the future.. But what happens to him....
