Huxley is a new game coming out in the near future. It is a combination of both MMO and FPS with amazing graphics to boot.
Like your beloved FPS, it has huge deathmatches and guns galore! However, for you MMO lovers, Huxley brings to you a world of adventure and, as I hear, a pretty decent storyline. You are able to join guilds, upgrade weapons and armor, etc.
Here is some info from one of the Huxley community sites (
Huxleygame.com):
THE ORIGIN OF THE RACES
within the world of Huxley, objects called Lunarites have crashed into the moon which in turn caused the moon's shattered mass to collide with the earth, along with the Lunarites. the resulting biochemical reactions left the evolution of the human species in disarray. three separate races, each race with its own two variants, have emerged and now fight for survival. the competing races are Sapiens, Alternatives, and Hybrids. the Sapiens retain the most visual similarity to the original humans while the Alternatives tend to be larger and more brutish in appearance. the Hybrids are a genetic mix of the first two.
the below text was taken directly from the Huxley documentation video:
the moon fell apart after being struck by a group of the Nuclearites. its crashed parts fell onto the earth causing a deep impact. not only did the Nuclearites' effects take out more than the 80 percent of the global population by crashing on the moon, but also gave birth to a new breed of human species due to its biochemical reaction to both the moon and the earth, the original species was called "Sapiens" whereas the other "Alternative". for some time, the two were at ease but problems had grown to the extreme level as time passed. on the 29th day of december, 20xx the great species war broke out. it still continues.
all the races and variants as they are currently known are detailed below, along with the english text that accompanies the images in the Huxley documentation video.
SAPIENS: ONE
They are individualistic and liberal characters as a human being by overcoming difficult and dangerous environment. They attained the prudent and skillful mind, and a strong pride about themselves. They are skillful with every kind of equipment and have the ability to maximize 100% equipment potential.
Their existence and excessive pride as the superior class of the Earth had caused the war. They had ignored and insulted all the other species as an early power of the society construction. The suppression policy of 'One' over other species alienated 'Syn'. The other sapiens species after the war with Alternative, 'One' allied with 'Syn' again to rule over the world as a superior species.
key facts: the Ones started it all. they started the war with all the other races cuz they're arrogant bastards who wanted to control everything. super prideful. however, since the war, the Ones and the Syns have allied in their common cause of now ruling together. also, this seems to indicate that the different races will serve different purposes or even different playing styles for players, and that the Ones can distinctively max out on "equipment potential", either in the full capacity of the weapon, or possibly in what they can upgrade to. the implication of course is that at least some other race does have this same potential.
SAPIENS: SYN
'Syn' has snow white skin, long and slim body shape, and beautiful face. Their smart and agile movement and sheer abilities have great power enough to reverse the war situation at a moment.
In the early stage of society reconstruction, they could avoid much oppression thanks to their good looking. But they were a confusion as strange species on Earth and got discrimination from 'One' after the war. 'Syn' volunteered to make alliance with 'One' only for their own survival.
During war, 'One' observed that 'Syn' killing the Alternatives cruelly and got strongly impressed after that 'One' could not discriminate 'Syn' thoughtlessly. 'Syn' is guaranteed an equal position to 'One' after Alternative independence. But 'Syn' still keep their callous character, trusting no one.
breakdown: the Syns are the pretty ones. very agile and slim in nature, but they wield some crazy cool powers which have the capacity to turn the tide of a given battle or situation. during the war, they were less ostricized by the Ones cuz they were prettier and because their skill in battle with the Alternatives was quite impressive to the Ones. since the war, the Syns have allied with the Ones in order to maintain their own survival, but the Syns don't trust them at all. they don't trust anyone.
ALTERNATIVE: ALTERAVER
The impression from their big body, tough face, strong and brave mind of 'Alteraver' gave them the image of an warrior. They are simple, devoted to their society, warm-hearted and kind. But 'Alteraver' never forgive enemies who threat existence of themselves and their precious things. They trust others easily because they are naive and have little intelligence, so they often tend to be imbued with bad ideology. 'Alteraver' use high-powered weapons empowered by their physical strength and power. A troop of 'Alteraver' has enough power to make their enemy demoralized.
They used to fight on the frontline of battle at independence war. While they under the oppression of 'One', they learned by force to operate heavy equipment. Those skills helped 'Alteraver' to build their country after the independence.
the goods: the alteravers are the big dudes. large in size with a face that tells you to piss off. they're the quintessential tribal warrior. simple, loyal, even warm-hearted, but not so intelligent, and way too trusting. their weaponry tends to be high-powered in nature, and pretty much everyhwere they go, they kick ass. i translate "has enough power to make their enemy demoralized" as "if you see them coming, you might need a clean pair of shorts" or whatever they wear in this dystopian world.
ALTERNATIVE: ALTERNIX
They have the most obvious mutated features with the dark gray skin, eye with the unclear and vague eyeball, and the calcareous hair. Their fast movement and smart sense for the battle are suitable for infiltration to enemy's zone and assassination.
Heterogeneous appearance of 'Alternix' made them obstructed, so they get introvert character. They are sensitive and never talk too much. Their unique hair style shows up their special artistic sense.
bottom line: the alternix are the fast ones. sneaky and quick, with big spiky white hair. they keep quiet, and make themselves known only when need be. artistic in nature, but if you're looking for assassins and someone who can get in unnoticed, this is your race.
HYBRID: MUTANT
no text on the hybrids yet, but these guys seem to run things behind the scenes, or at the least they seem to control the ai monsters that like to chase, stab, and kill everyone else. this race is a hybrid of the Sapiens and the Alternatives. they are a non-playable race.
HYBRID: MONSTER
the other non-playable race, these hybrid monsters look like the bugs straight out of starship troopers, but a little smaller. they run in packs and attack in waves; large collective swarms with common targets, namely you. i'm so looking forward to killing me some bugs.
