Introduction to Angelic Lore: Part 2

Welcome to the second part of our lore introduction series. In this part, we will tell you about Neo-Humans, the illustrious Angels. Are you ready to join their ranks?

Neo-Humans

Neo-Humans were created by a now-defunct company: Angelicon. For decades Angelicon remained neutral throughout the Corporation Wars, but this changed quickly when they declared an overly ambitious project: Transcendence.

Suddenly, they became a sizeable threat to all big corporations, cartels, syndicates, and trusts.

The world’s system at the time was based on “professional slavery.” Even the slight possibility of elevating random people with unseen talents, exceptional intellectual capabilities, and potentially immortal bodies to the top of the pyramid was a cardinal sin in the eyes of mega-corporations.

And “Project Transcendence” offered just that, even to common people…

The Supreme Cartel quickly overtook the control of the project. Most of the program’s benefits became limited only to top-level corporation employees. Other Neo-Humans were to be “transcended” too, but they would be under the strict authority of the corporations. They would only be another wave of professional slaves.

Numerous complications arose quickly. To fix them, the program was expanded. The exceptional capabilities of the Neo-Humans were too attractive for corporations to let go of, and the program became a way out for tens of thousands of desperate people. Even the press was calling them “Angels”.

Soon almost all corporations became dependent on Angelicon’s technology and the Neo-Humans. Nobody wanted to see the obvious. Eventually, however, the inevitable happened: a rebellion.

Angelicon could not stop or control it. The rebellion rapidly transformed into an all-out conflict known as the Interhuman War.

Then something unimaginable happened. A new type of Neo-Human appeared and blew up the Nexus, the largest and most expensive space station ever built by the corporations. The perpetrator’s name was Daeva, and she was categorized as the first “Arch-Angel” ever witnessed.

It turned out Iset, the first ever created Neo-Human, was capable of engineering other Neo-Humans. Now called the “Fallen Angels”, Iset and her angels crushed the corporations swiftly. Thus, the Supreme Cartel asked for unconditional surrender.

Mysteriously, the Angels started to retreat, and nobody understood what was happening. In two weeks, they were all gone.

These events happened two centuries ago, and just as humanity forgot their silicon-based cousins, Neo-Humans began to return from deep space.

Types of Neo-Humans

The first-gen Neo-Humans were created by Angelicon, primarily as slaves for corporations. Second-gen Neo-Humans have face projection features that are rare. They are superior on all fronts compared to the first-gen series. Third-gen Neo-Humans, also known as Arch-Angels, were engineered by Iset the Mother herself, and all of them are unique. It is speculated that there might be numerous different variations.
