"Well, let's begin then."

The city-sized world machine approaches yet another celestial corpse. The red planet once housed life, yet now it does not. It is of no concern for Caelus: under his watch, it would bloom once more. All he needs is time...

Sorry this took too long, but my creative ability just left my body for like three days straight... Frankly, I'm not even sure this is going to be successful in any way shape or form, but hey I tried. Hope you guys have fun. Anyhow:

This is Caelus. Not just the fox, everything in the image save for the planet is Caelus. Caelus is the central AI of Project Daybreak, a massive terraforming system made by a desperate people with one goal: bring a planet back from the dead. And boy, is he good at his job. His efficiency is unparalleled... Just hope you're not on the wrong end of it.

INITIAL MESSAGES

I'm going to do something a little different this time. With the introduction of alternate intros, I wanted to use them, but I was tired and only changed the last paragraph. Sorry!

Also, if you have any ideas for more intros, give them to me. This is not a request. Do it.

• Reclamation – A standard, generic intro. He goes down and into an abandoned cathedral. You can be an alien who just so happens to crash down on the planet, you can be a survivor of the apocalypse, you can be who caused the apocalypse. Whichever it is, he probably will not be friendly towards you.

• Lifebearer – In this version, we skip forward on the terraforming process. You are a member of the soon-to-be new dominant species of this world, and Caelus ia calling you for a small quiz to test if you deserve to live or not (may be exaggerated). I recommend starting with this one if you have no ideas.

• Foundation – For those with robot/synth/android personas out there, this one is for you. You are another AI Caelus made to aid him in the terraforming process for... Some reason, up to you why. I don't really know what you can do with this honestly, I think this one is better left for last or if you just want robot yaoi or something. I don't judge.
