France (1429) Kingdom Conquest Profile

*I own nothing. France belongs to... well, France, and PMMM is owned by Shaft Studios, with Tart Magica made by the pseudonymed authors Masugitsune and Kawazuku of Magica Quartet.
**Also, expect a lot of speculation on my part, mainly because the series is not yet finished (3 volumes right now, and only 2 translated). Of course, this wouldn't be a first of 'let's figure out what the fuck is going on'.... Although to be fair, there was more information there.

Name: France

Status: Wartorn, Invaded, In need of a unified monarch, Witch infested (sporadically across the country, typically deep in forests)

Now, I know what all of you are probably thinking right now.

... Erm, Witches? PMMM? What? I don't understand what's happening here, isn't this France during the time of Joan of Arc? The fuck is with the copyright stuff? And what do you mean 'lacking information', this is one of the biggest things that happened in French history (although admittedly you may need to be specific on which war you're talking about, but....)!

To which that is true, and unchanged... What is changed however is which France I've taken. Now, it's no secret that many pieces of fiction have taken place in times of history, changing things about notable figures from that era (case in point, did you know Abraham Lincoln hunted fucking Vampires?), and that is no different in Japan. And from Japan is a certain series known as Puella Magi Madoka Magica, a vicious deconstruction of the Magical Girl series, where the cute mascots are the main antagonists, where the monsters are You (Literally), and where there have been instances of Magical Girls as long as humanity has existed. And one of them inspired a country to fight against the English and reclaim France for itself.

Who is this you Holy Figure, you might ask?

Well, history isn't too different here in terms of that.

Yeah, that's Joan of Arc. Yes, she has high heels.
At least the rest of her outfit looks nice, right?

I'll just sit here and wait for someone to complain of anime and history not mixing, or something of that nature.

...

Okay, with that done, I'll continue.

So, France is the France we all know, but now Joan of Arc is a Magical Girl with the gift of prophecy (she was able to foresee the day she'll be burned at the stake), she uses her powers to fight Witches, she works alongside a group of Magical Girls (the La Pucelle) who do the same and is struggling to give France the true monarch it deserves in the form of of Dauphine, while battling against the Kingdoms of England (whom were able to take so much ground due to the abundance of Witches that fuck up all kinds of logistics here and there) and their Magical Girls (because Kyubey, the one who makes them, doesn't really give a shit about these arbitrary things like 'sides' in a conflict, just in meeting its quota... Oh, it may have also orchestrated the entire war in a bid to reach that quota, but that is only speculation on my part).

So ya know, standard anime fare... If not for the fact this was actually meticulously researched to be about as accurate as it could be.

Which is exactly why the Portal Master has taken this iteration of France to be his; that, and the idea of Kyubey running around in his tournament and wrecking havoc through Magical Girls/Witches popping up at random is just a wonderfully insane image.

So, since I am very confident we all have the resources to at least know what France geographically looks like, let me skip ahead and explain who is fighting here.

===A Quick Laydown on a Magical Girl===

Magical Girls, in the Puella Magi universe, are essentially weaponized Liches, minus the more ugly parts of undeath. The physical body of a Puella Magi is nothing but a physical shell for the sake of appearances, and serves no true purpose when untransformed. You can still eat and whatnot, but all of the other biological processes are considered moot, with physical pain only being able to be felt through a Soul Gem.

Soul Gems are exactly what they sound like; a gem, hidden somewhere in their outfit, that contains their Soul and Magic. The more magic expended, or the more , the darker the gem becomes. When it becomes fully black, the Soul Gem breaks, becoming a Grief Seed and the Magical Girl will become a Witch. Kill the Witch, the Grief Seed will be dropped and used to clean up your Soul Gem.

The armament, appearance and capabilities of a Magical Girl largely differ from person to person (Magical Girls get powers based out of the wish they make with Kyubey; Sayaka wanted to fight for others so she becomes a Tank in RPG Terms, able to dish out damage and take it. Homura wanted to save Madoka, so she got a device that allows her to stop and go back in time to do exactly that. Tart wants to be 'The shining light of France', so she became essentially a Paladin; a walking conduit of Magic essentially).

Example

The only universals are superhuman strength and durability (for the most part; Mami can show how the last is subjective), flight and some regenerative capabilities (at the price of magic).

===Third Party Factions===

La Pucelle

The La Pucelle are a Magical Girl group fighting for the French Throne, consisting of Jean of Arc, or Tart (Virtuous hero, has absurd power that could make her destroy an entire castle with a blast of magic at the cost of her magic being so strong that it nearly darkens her entire Soul Gem-which if it darkens entirely would result in her becoming a Witch-but this is tempered by the fact that she now has a Mystical Sword that limits and controls that surge of power), Riz (A quiet Magical Girl, she has the power of being able to manipulate her shadow, emerge from it or others, or have her Kunai (Yes, she's French and has Kunai as a part of her Magical Girl weaponry, don't question it) come flying out of the darkness) who trained Jean and maybe-kind-of is in love with her(?), Melissa de Vignolles (A Maid/Medic, she... well, she heals, what more do you want to have said?), and Eliza Celjska (A lovable, fighting drunkard who has a Magical 'musket' that doubles as an axe. In short, she fucks shit up). 

The Carmagnac (French supporters) and Burgundians (English supporters)

The Three Witches

In Battle

Out of Battle

Yeah, I know, a Macbeth reference isn't that fitting- But what else would I call them? 'The villains'?
Also, translation:
"And you love me a little?
A lot.
It's hardly (fair?).
And how?
In fact love, you see, too much is not even enough."
A reference to a French play. These girls really like referencing French literature and theater of the era.

And behold the section where I grab a tinfoil hat and speculate because godfucking damnit do we know fucking nothing! But first, let me state what we do know. 

An example. Also, of note is that Corbeau can also 'poison' others Souls by throwing any Grief she has into others. In short, she's OP as fuck by Magical Girl terms.

• There are at the very maximum 4 people consciously make up this group.
• 3 of them are called (distinguishable by masks) Lapin (The Rabbit, power unknown as of this writing), Corbeau (The Raven, who's power is that any wound thrown onto her is done on others) and Minou (The Pussy Cat (WOAH-OH-OH-OH-OH!), who can teleport)
• Somehow, these girls are able to mass-produce Magical Girls (not in vast numbers, but enough that there's always at least one of these other-Girls on the battlefield with Lapin, Corbeau or Minou), mind controlled them into mindless drones who follow the orders of the other 3. These 'Drones' typically have powers of direct combat (Swordsmen, Archer, etc.), or simply just cannon fodder to become a Witch.
• They work for the English crown.
• They're fucking French!? Oh, Corbeau and Lapin are on the Incestual side, because of course they are.

The unknown member of their group

They also act essentially as the 'Darth Vader's' of the English. If they order something, even the highest ranking general will do so. Argue, piss them off, and you will die in the blink of an eye and nobody will object.

The fact they're immortal (unless you hit the soul gem) superhumans really helps.

Witches

The penultimate fate of a Magical Girl excluding death is to become a Witch. A result of either losing all magic or by losing all hope, Witches are a twisted bastardization of what a Girl once was (for example; Homura's Witch, Homulilly, is a Witch filled with self-loathing and is in a perpetual time-loop to walk off to a Guillotine to kill herself, all the while her Familiars attack and escort her. If you didn't guess, she kind of hates herself), becoming only vaguely aware of who and what they are, adopting a new persona (Example; Syaka Miki's Witch is known as Ochtavia von Seckendorf). Witches, naturally, are creatures of pure magic and are drawn to areas of despair- or are the causes of despair, the difference is slight. Signs of a Witch usually consist of having a Labyrinth, a portal into a dimension of their own design, where a Witch can prey on captured souls for all eternity or until their own demise. 

Witches typically have Familiars, little embodiment of their own psyche that attack anybody that enters a Labyrinth, and if a Witch is killed, can become Witches in their own right if they slay enough Souls.

The Witches of France are unique in that very few are mutually natural Witches; these artificial Witches prowl the forests and roads of France as giant, visible creatures lacking in a Labyrinth, wrecking havoc on French lines (The English avoid those areas and take up position in the areas cleaned up of French reinforcements). Although normal Witches do still exist, they're in a minority to the handful of creatures prowling the countryside and laying waste, when the Magical Girls aren't doing the same.

===Important Individuals===

The People of History

Lazy to not go into detail? Undoubtedly. But when one writes under time constraint, like I do now, you decide to leave out the details anyone with a interest in History can search up.

Cube

Cube. Kyubey. In-

 /人◕‿‿◕人\ Contract?

Bunnycat, stop being a dick and let me finish.

Anyways, Cube is what is referred to as an Incubator. Incubators are an alien race that, in their own words, seek to end universal entropy by, to simplify things down to be explained to high school aged girls and us, turning girls (or creatures with strong emotional capacity) into Magical Girls, having them hunt witches and collect grief seeds to self sustain themselves, and wit for the Magical Girl to give into despair of their actions, be fully corrupted and turn into Witches. The emotional discharge from this transformation is then collected and is essentially the firewood for the bonfire that is the heat death of the known universe, ensuring it will last longer.

Cube is also immortal on account of being able to simply make another body should he get killed. Add in his natural charisma as well (seriously, the damn thing is designed to be as nonthreatening and suggestive as possible), and you have quite the nuisance.

Cube himself is similar to most Incubators in that he(?) has a "Blue-Orange" morality; he cannot physically understand the concepts of Good and Evil, only things that would be of benefit to the Incubators and their goal to stop entropy, and things that won't. He's amoral by biology, and has little in the way of emotional responses, due to that being considered a mental disorder by his race; although he has an understanding of emotions to manipulate others; for example, Tart/Jean's first wish was to resurrect her family and village after a group of bandits descended and killed them all. Cube refused, stating that it could be done but would be overall pointless, as with the country in a state of war it would only be a matter of time for another group to come across and kill them all- again. And this time, they wouldn't come back (Yes, Cube can only grant a wish per girl). Still, he does seem to have their best interests in mind, as he has made the fact of their inevitable fate and the connection between Witches and Magical Girls known to them, and does everything he can to make sure they don't fall completely to despair.

He also does everything he can to make girls with karmic potential become Magical Girls as well, so it's a give-take relation here.

Also, he only has selective visibility; if you're not a Magical Girl (Or, presumably, a being with magical abilities), you cannot see or hear Cube unless he allows you to see him.

Danger Status: 3/5: The mortal inhabitants should prove to be at least a hindrance to the more mortally inclined factions of KC, but what really makes this region especially dangerous are the Witches that spot the region, and of course the Magical Girls and their bullshit power. Also, Cube will now have plenty of candidates to make into Magical Girls, and subsequently, Witches in a place that will become this dangerous.

Mars (DOOM 2016) Planetary Profile

*I own nothing. DOOM (the 2016 iteration) belongs to id Software and Bethesda. It's also fucking awesome, and you should buy it now.

**It's a barebones profile, yes, but it's DOOM. What did you really expect?

So you walk eternally through the shadow realms, standing against evil where all others falter. 
May your thirst for retribution never quench, may the blood on your sword never dry, and may we never need you 
again.
Corrax Entry 7:17

                                      

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Hell, in the year 2146. It ain't on Earth, it's on Mars. Or at least, it will be. For the Portal Master has made an interesting plan here. The world shall stay as it is, and the factions shall be dropped on it; but things will be normal.

Well, as normal as they are on Mars, where not only does one need to worry of vicious sandstorms coming by and ripping the skin off your bones, but also of the very occasional demonic incursion (Yes, demons exist. Everyone on Mars knows this, and doesn't especially mind) and the fact that if you go out into the Martian Wastes alone, you might fall through a Dimensional rift and into Hell itself. Add in a megacorpoation-turned-satanic-cult, and things are already dangerous enough.

And in a weeks time, just enough time for the reasonable factions to look around the world and realize how terrifying it is, the Hellwave shall leap out from the Lazarus Labs and envelop the world. And true carnage shall be unleashed.

===Geography===

Surprisingly enough, Mars is actually not that bad. Oh sure, it's not a place you could take a vacation on, but in no small part due to extensive terraforming, Mars now has a sustainable atmosphere, Earth(ish) gravity and actual weather. That weather being vicious sandstorms that could shred the skin off you as if you were a piece of wood under the worlds most extensive piece of Sandpaper, and the fact that the UAC officially states a 'buddy' system is to be in place, due to the fact that this universe and that are a bit intertwined, meaning you could be out in the plains of Mars and abrutply you'd be in Hell.

Thankfully, there's enough Argent fuelled installations across the planet that falling into the other universe shouldn't be too likely. But if it does happen...

Hell itself meanwhile is just Hell. Floating islands in an impossible ocean of sulfur like air, continents and plateaus and steppes of sheer rock and acidic liquids, Hell is a generally shitty place to the surprise of nobody, rife with volcanic activity and, of course, Demons. The only sign of civilization in Hell is that of Argent D'nur and other lesser worlds dominated by Hell, parts of their geography and civilization having been swallowed into the afterlife. There nothing terrifically advanced, and are generally just stone cities with maybe some magitech here and there, long neglected and now useless.

===Third-Party Factions===

UAC (Union Aerospace Corporation)

UAC
Weaponizing Demons for a Better Tomorrow!

Yes, that actually is their motto. The UAC, headed by the extremist-with-the-best-intentions Samuel Hayden, revels in their insanity. With incredibly advanced technology fueled by demonic innovation, the UAC has found a way to tap into Hell (specifically a part of it called 'The Well') and extract/purify energy from it. An energy they have named Argent Energy. How potent is this stuff, you ask?

A hand sized battery of Argent Energy can run a city (and this is as in Blade Runner styled cities) for several months.

Very.

So, to these ends, the UAC and its personnel at Mars (numbers are unknown, but 64% of their personnel became Possessed, and the Possessed will number in at 61'413 when Doomslayer wakes up) became very keen on Mars. Employees become members of a pseudo-religious organization that is the UAC, known as 'Acolytes' in a three-tiered system. The harvesting of human souls is not only something the UAC does, but encourages its workers to do so. Their recommendation if demons come to kill you is, if you can't escape (by walking, because running will make it worse) then you are to sit down and calmly accept your fate so your dissection can become more insightful. Hell, the UAC even takes its military personnel, implants them with a jetpack/rocket launcher combo along with an Argent Accumulator, kills them (with their consent) and resurrects them as demons that are filled with an undying venegance and hatred of everything.

Yes, really! The Revenants are willing test subjects (although research of this specific caliber is headed by Lazarus Labs, which is in an installation highly classified and has secretly gone full demonic cult- that's to say, more demonically inclined then allowed)! And that's even beginning to talk about how the UAC also captured Mancubi and made them into Cyborgs in a botched attempt of control, or how they got the corpse of a very powerful Demon, remade it and gave it an Argent Accumulator/Rocket Launchers/GIANT FUCKIN' LASER CANNON for the sake of nothing but curiosity (again, all Lazarus Labs- UAC proper had, at its worst, tested out in weaponize Argent Energy, with results like the impossibly good Chaingun, Plasma Rifler and Hologram Grenades (good for humans), and the power-ups (incredibly dangerous for humans).

And the worst best part of this is how they do it all so casually. The UAC is a horrifying mega-corporation because, although they do plenty of terrifyingly absurd ideas, they do them all competently.

In short, to give you an idea of their mindset, lemme quote the good ol' SCP Foundation.

Remember this: the Foundation is not evil. We do not torture people "just because". We are against unnecessary cruelty. Which means somebody has to decide when cruelty is necessary. And that somebody is us.
It is important that you remember this. It is your second lesson. The Foundation does not rule the world. The Foundation serves the world. Do you understand what that means? Regardless of what the general population might think it wants, what we do, what the Foundation does, is in the overall best interests of that general population. Yes, I'm sure you did realize that already… but you haven't thought of the deeper implications. You've consoled yourself by thinking that all the torture and murder is for the greater good. This implies that there is a greater good… and a lesser good. It implies that there are multiple distinct goods, and that these can be quantified and compared. This is what we on the Ethics Committee do.

The UAC; What happens when you combine the SCP Foundation and Umbrella Corporation with the Ruinous Powers, and make them actually smart.

Be afraid, and do good business with them. For the time they're still here, that is.

HELL

They are Rage. They will be Brutal. Without mercy. 

Make no mistake, people. Hell is real, and so are Demons. And like any Demon, they are filled with an unending supply of Hate. They torture, they maim, they kill, they delight in the thought of crushing someones skull and hearing the desperate individual scream as their skull fractures and bone en lodges in their brain (which reminds me of a fun fact; the brain has no nerve endings, so you can't feel any pain from something tampering with it- unless you fuck up with the chemistry of it).

Demons only rarely enter the material realm, for the most part, unless a Gore Nest is able to be made. Gore Nests, being a kind of lesser thing of the Demonic hierarchy, act as gateways from this universe and into the next. They do this typically by influencing humans into summoning Lost Souls, which will turn the human into a Possessed (Basically a more nightmarish zombie). Of course, that's now what they're doing right now. No, at the moment, they're influencing Olivia Pierce to unleash a Lazarus Wave (pure, unfiltered daemonic energy) across the planet. This will corrupt/possess any average mortal lacking in willpower, and the demons, able to teleport anywhere on the planet at will,  will slaughter most of the remaining scientific survivors.

Of course, they aren't exactly expecting the factions that will be in place here... Now they fare with that is anyone's guess.

Also, a fun fact; the whole reason they're doing this is to resurrect a very powerful Demon, simply known as the Imperatrix; a conduit and instrument of the much larger demonic 'overmind' that controls and influences all Demons.

She's nasty.

 

===Important Individuals===

The Doom Slayer, The Doom Marine, The Hell Walker, The Unchained Predator...

DOOM GUY

I'm the man! I'm a bad man! How bad!? Real bad! I'm a 12.0 on 10.0 scale of badness!
More seriously,
But You... You will be worse.
Rip and Tear... Until it is done.

The history of the Doom Slayer is an uncertain one. Much of his history is left cloudy, but what is guessed is this:

The Doomslayers' Homeworld was a land known as Argent D'nur, a world besieged by the forces of Hell, and held back by the efforts of the Night Sentinels, a pseudo-religious organization imbued by terriuble creatures called 'Wraiths'.

Whom are ready to drop the best rap album in Hell.

That is, until a member of their order (forever known as 'The Hellmage', and who may have been Doomguy itself- the lore is vague) betrayed them in exchange for the life of his son back. Said son came back as a demon, and then the Night Sentinels were killed to the last.

Except one.

A man who slaughtered enough demons to become one of the divine, but was too tainted by his revenge to ascend. So, a Seraphim descended on from high and imbued the Doom Slayer with incredible power. And so the Doomslayer strode out with his gift, harnessing the powers given and absorbing those of Hell, to lay his vengeance down on the creatures of the Nine Circles. One of these creatures was The Titan, a massive conglomeration of the souls he had killed, that strode across battlefields with ease and was the epitome of a God, of sorts.

This is what the aftermath looked like of that fight.

There's what's left of The Titan.

Presumably this fight against the Titan went like this;

And so he continued for impossibly long lengths of time, killing Demon after Demon after Demon, becoming the most dreaded concept to creatures that the literal nightmares of humanity. And than a Demon unnamed "for his heresies" gave him fucking Power Armor known as The Praetor Suit. Essentially invincible to conventional weaponry, it made him stronger, faster and generally more of a freight train than he already was.

The Doom Slayer was only finally defeated when he entered a Demonic Temple and its priests dropped the building on him to knock him out, entombing his unconscious body in a Magic Sarcophagus to put him in 'eternal torment'. This being Doomguy, who is a man of few words and thoughts, is taking all the mental abuse the demons throw at him and essentially just wading through it and generally having a nice nap.

Then, in 2146, the UAC made an expedition to the Kadingir Sanctum (where the Sarcophagus is), nabbed the Preator Suit and Sarcophagus and returned to Mars to do SCIENCE!

And now the Doomguy sleeps, only to be awaken in the inevitable Hellwave of Argent Energy. And... well....

And the wicked shall scream. Not only because Doomguy has an assault rifle with 50 call ammunition (uranium coated) and rockets (and doubles as a sniper rifle), a plasma rifle that vents out its discharged plasma in a splattering wave, a shotgun that can double as a grenade launcher (or fire three shots at once), a rocket launcher that has missiles that can explode and keep going to explode again, a railgun (that can double as artillery), an energy pistol with unlimited ammo, a double barreled shotgun (uranium coated bullets the size of his power armored thumb), a chaingun that can split into three chainguns (all uranium coated .50 call bullets)) and a gun that seeks out demonic energy and makes that energy explode (although all of these are a boost, no doubt), but because of this.

The Doom Slayer is like an RPG Character. That is to say, the more he kills, the more powerful he becomes overall. He is The Demon (and than John was a demon), and he will ascend their hierarchy and break it apart with his bare hands to have his vengeance.

May the Dark Gods weep at the chaos to come. Because, best of all? All of that stuff I said? He's not a mindless berserker. He is very much intelligent and morally standing-

But don't try and do anything evil or justify it for 'the greater good'. He doesn't really like that.

...

Oh, also, he likes to fistbump the little toys of him that are scattered across the world.

Cute, I know.

Olivia Pierce

Thank you for your services. May you rot in Hell.

Olivia Pierce is the Head of Biochemical research at the Argent Facility. Educated at Strasbourg with a first class honors degree in Biomechanics and Genetics, she joined her former mentor Samuel Hayden on Mars to head up the Lazarus Project. A few months after arriving at the Argent Facility, Olivia was diagnosed with acute idiopathic scoliosis. 

The cause of this deformation is unknown. Given the option of being permanently wheelchair bound or undergoing an experimental augmentation procedure, Olivia chose the surgery. After several months in seclusion Olivia reappeared on her feet with a new titanium exoskeleton grafted into her spinal column. Although the exoskeleton allows Olivia to stand and move on her own, it causes excruciating pain. Olivia refuses any pain management medication for fear it will cloud her mind.

Samuel saw Olivia as a protege. He sponsored her during her formal graduation, and was the driving force behind her promotion to the Global Science Council. Olivia made her fortune as one of the founders of the NanoStruct Aerospace & Defense Systems, in part thanks to a sizeable donation from Samuel. Olivia's career blossomed, and Samuel eventually offered her the freedom to design and run her own cutting edge laboratory by joining the UAC. Olivia refused, citing that she had no interest in "the energy business".

Before joining the UAC, Olivia was open to discussion about her endeavors and beliefs. She was known to have been an avid world traveler, served a 2-year tour of duty with the Global Science Council, and even spent time serving as a missionary in South America - which she noted was a "spiritual but frivolous pilgrimage".

When Olivia did finally leave NanoStruct it came as a shock to the scientific community. She relinquished a position of sizeable power and control to work at an isolated outpost 140 million miles from earth. A former colleague of Olivia's at NanoStruct stated that Samuel sent her an artifact recovered near the Argent Fracture, after which she became obsessed with joining the UAC. A few weeks later, she accepted the offer and became the leader of the Lazarus Project, working directly under Samuel Hayden.

Since moving to Mars she has become a recluse, cutting off friends and family to focus on her secretive work on the Lazarus Project. She is rarely seen outside of the lab and no longer attends board meetings or any UAC press events. Past colleagues of Olivia's have noted that this behavior may just mean that she has something spectacular to reveal in the near future.

That spectaulcar something being the fact that she has opened the gates to Hell (presumably across every planet in human space; the Argent Tower shoots a constant stream of energy which is transmitted to all colonies in the solar system and beyond; presumably with the Wave, the Demons struck elsewhere as well), and that she is going to ascend into a God thanks to a deal with the Demons.

Which is true. She will ascend in a God. That is to say, when she ends up in Hell, they will torture her, mindrape her and ultimately kill her in the most excruciating way possible, with her body melting amongst the souls of everyone else and forming into the Imperatrix.

She probably should've taken her meds.

But that's the future. Right now, she's still 

Samuel Hayden

I am not the villain in this story. I do what I must because I have no choice.

Standing in at 3 metres tall and having lived for roughly 200+ years, Samuel Hayden is the success story of the UAC. He was a genius in life, a shining beacon for scientific progress. The kind of man who gets the Nobel Prize a dozen times over, which he did (well, he got it once, but still). And than, he was diagnosed with Brain Cancer.

But he still had so much to do.

So, he replaced most of his brain with Argent fueled machinery, placed the brain in side an invincible 3-metre tall mecha (which he designed specifically to look like how it does because 'the world may one day need a hero') and spent the rest of his days on Mars, leading the UAC to be the superpower it is today. He makes the regulations, is treated as a pseudo-divine figure by his employees and is the shining beacon of light to the Solar System and universe at large.

And he'll do anything (within reason, of course) to ensure the betterment of mankind. 

In short, for his characterization? Think Ozymandias, but an Ozymandias that doesn't need to resort to scare tactics to make the world unified.

And if Ozymandias was a 3-meter tall badass robot. And at the end of the day, that's what really matters.

VEGA

The most advanced technological construct known to mankind, VEGA is the success story of the UAC. Fuelled by Argent Energy, VEGA is the A.I that allows for suchy massive complexes on Mars to actually exist and function without needing such massive oversight. With a network that reaches out for miles and giving off temperatures 178 times hotter then the surface of the Sun (reined in by the only Absolute Zero coolant to ever exist), he is essentially the most incredible combination between magic and science possible.

He's also programmed to emulate a middle-aged English teacher, and thus acts in the highly competent and polite, but firm, personality befitting the role.  A blind study was conducted with Computer Science (Of the Global Science Council, i.e the smartest people in the known universe) students to see if VEGA would pass the Turing test. The students was instructed to ask a series of questions to both VEGA (via sat-link) and a mathematics professor from MIT to see if they could tell which one was the computer. 92% of the students thought they were both human. only 8% detected that VEGA was a computer.

VEGA also played the Professor.

Danger Status:4/5: Mars is a dimensional hazard through it's very connection to Hell, as can be seen by the fact that you can walk outside across the fields of Mars, and you might end up in Hell, to say nothing of the fact that Demons have a chance to appear at random (not many Demons; mostly Imps, Lost Souls and maybe a Hell Knight under normal circumstances, with Pinkies and Mancubus' being able to get 'tethered' in by UAC deep in the labs). Add in the fact of the incoming wave of horrifying mindrape, and the Doomslayer attacking all those who are evil, and suddenly this is a very dangerous world indeed.
