New Worlds Story Lines

Who are the skrull?

The Skrull are a “are a shape-shifting race of aliens, ...naturally green-skinned, (with) the ability to take the form of any human or animal.” (http://marvel.com/embracechange/main.html) These aliens have lost their homeworld and set their sights on taking over the planet earth. They appear to be a peaceful, compassionate group, manipulating the media by use of misleading propaganda to gain the trust of our species and enslave our kind. They have begun to attack the members of our world they have deemed dangerous which consist of any human with special ability, knowledge and expertise. The Skrull infiltrate by kidnaping and replacing and there is no way to tell them apart from ourselves. They take on every aspect of an individual, their appearance, their personality, even their genetic composition and physiological traits/abilities. It is only when they are weakened or killed that they reveal their true form.

Where do they take those who are captured?

The Skrull have bases all over our world and have been here for several years without us knowing. They even have interplanetary stations on Mars. S.H.I.E.L.D, Torchwood and Team Altruism are tracking the Skrull through their galactic resource personnel and are the teams with the most experience in searching for a missing person. If a person or NPC has been captured it is up to the player where they are now located.

What happens while you are captured?

The Skrull encase all those who have been taken in an organic compound native to their planet that creates a hyperbolic state of vegetative homeostasis. What in the heck does that mean? STOP TALKING LIKE SPOCK, RAMBLEMOD!!! It's simple: your character will be in a coma, except they won't age. They will be sustained by the environment around them, provided with nutrients and entrapped in a green plant-like cocoon until someone finds them and wakes them up. The player has the option to have their character's mind still linked to the personality in which the Skrull has stolen to create their doppelganger. Which means the sleeping character would be aware of everything that has happened while they were gone- everything the Skrull has done while impersonating them.

Now the question becomes...
