THE RACES

HUMANS

The most plentiful race in LIGHT UP THE NIGHT!!, humans are homo-sapiens who have evolved through a combination of natural and technological growth. It's rare to find a person who doesn't have some form of technology within their body. Nanomachine systems that regulate bodily functions run rampant within the citizens of Karture, the nanomachines simultaneously reporting back to a large supercomputer invented by William himself. Through control of these nanomachines William holds a Wrath of God, able to end any human within his control's life at the push of a button. The citizens of Markus have these nanomachines modified, freeing them of William's control and improving their physical condition. The members of the Resistance have a variety of modifications done to their nanomachine systems, giving them a natural boost to their speed and strength, including agility and durability. With these improved nanomachine systems, the members of The Resistance are able to fight against William's Special Forces effectively... though they are still humans, and must rely on their weaponry more than their physical and heightened mental capabilities.

ROBOTS

Technological marvels that assisted in humanity's evolution over the years. The prototype robot, a slick green colored robot with a single red eye was the combined invention of William A. Karture and Joseph Markus, brilliant inventors who would proceed to install a system allowing them complete control over the city of New York. These robots, having evolved over the years, are now mass produced in a factory within Karture and perfectly resemble human beings. The only way to differentiate between humans and robots in this world is their piercing red eyes and robotic skeletons. They hold the heightened physical capabilities of the humans' nanomachine system, but also have self-repairing nanomachines within their steel frames and have a plethora of body modifications enabling them to be the perfect super soldiers. Each robot has a chip inside of it that allows it a special power, but these chips also connected to the large control tower atop Karture Tower. It should also be noted that William's Special Forces robots were freed of a single law of robotic: Disallowing them from harming humans, which allows them to kill any human being who dares speak out against Karture's control. As time proceeded, Joseph invented a new kind of robot within the city of Markus. Robots who could think and feel for themselves, break free from the Laws of Robotics that held them captive. These thinking, feeling robots decided that they wanted nothing to do with the war between The Resistance and William A. Karture, and so calling themselves The Shaa they separated permanently. Some robotic stragglers do exist, however, having joined up with The Resistance or The Razorteeth depending on their personal allegiance.

HALF-MAN HALF-MACHINE

Invented by Joseph Markus to give him sons, the Markus boys were turned into combat capable half-man half-machines to combat Karture's Special Forces. While one perished, the other continues to exist. These are the only two characters that belong to this race, though who knows what may occur in the future? Half-Man Half-Machines were specially modified to allow them to be powered off solar energy, able to collect it and fire it out of an arm cannon attachment to their hand. They are also able to remove the chips from Karture's robots and attach them to their arm cannon, enabling them the special abilities that the robots are able to use. This race is locked for the time being, but as the population of the forum grows it may be opened up in the future. Perhaps William A. Karture is also developing his own half-man, half-machine beings that might just be the ace up the Special Forces' sleeve...
