- | During the war between the [[Greens]] and the [[Reds]] scientists would select certain soldiers that had been severely injured in conflict. Using a specific criteria the soldiers would come from both sides of the conflict since [[The Forge]] was based in neutral territory. These soldiers were all highly experienced from much combat and survived extreme situations of life and death. They were also prone to eccentric styles of thinking that was unlike the rest of the population. | + | During the war between the [[faction: |

- | Many of these soldiers would fight against each other since they would return to whichever side they had originally been selected from. As technology advanced the soldiers that continued to survive the war would strive to advance their bodies. Over time the soldiers that were part of this project became independant of the [[Greens]] and [[Reds]]. At first there were only two groups depending on which side they fought for. One group named itself after the project and continued to fight on a contractual basis for the [[Greens]]. Another group, calling itself the [[Angel Returners]] continued to fight for the [[Reds]]. Coincidentally the majority of the soldiers that had taken part in this project became part of these groups. Almost none remained attached to their former sides as they were originally. Eventually these two groups sought even more independance and stopped being associated with their side. | + | Many of these soldiers would fight against each other since they would return to whichever side they had originally been selected from.

- | While the project continued, there were more full conversion cyborgs being fielded. Each group would try to recruit from these newly casted cyborgs as well as scout potential subjects for [[The Forge]] to use. Some cyborgs refused to join either established faction and became their own, eventually leading to the formation of the [[Mistic Metals]] and the [[Kashmere Korrupts]]. The members of the Metal Ascendancy began to try and unify all the different groups under the pretense of seeking out a way to finally end this extensive war between the [[Reds]] and the [[Greens]]. This led to extensive fighting between the cyborgs both on and off the battlefield. In the end the Metal Ascendancy reformed into [[The Irregulars]] and succeeded in gathering all cyborgs involved in the Metal Ascendancy Project. Those who didn't had already fought to the death. | + | While the project continued, there were more full conversion cyborgs being fielded.

All throughout this time the scientists and research division of the project continued to make breakthroughs and advancements. Many of the scientists had become so devoted to this research that they themselves had converted over to full cyborgs as well in order to better understand and experiment. While they continued to work to meet the profit margins of the company side of the house, for all intent and purposes, the R&D side aided each cyborg beyond just customers. Each time the cyborgs needed to advance their body to keep up with the technological race [[The Forge]] would provide their services free of charge. It was something of a fair exchange given that they would field experimental cybernetics and weaponry. | All throughout this time the scientists and research division of the project continued to make breakthroughs and advancements.
