《Hunger for affection》Act I – Homes | Offer

The light of the day illuminated with fervor and without obstructions the streets and inhabitants of a busy commercial city next to a great river through which several ships of the nation passed.
This city, being next to this lively river, is characterized by being prosperous by having a good trade for all the boats that pass next to it, as well as providing by itself good agriculture.
But even with this, it can still only be considered a city of little importance, due to its young age and being so far from the capital and the border; in general, it could be considered a city with a stable but not so prosperous future.
As a commercial city and of relative importance, it can access a good variety of wines from low to high quality, which can be seen being sold and bought with spirit in the commercial area of the city, which is defined in the western part of the city bordering the great river.
In this area you can see here and there are several stores and several types of businesses, as well as several sellers shouting here and there are advertising their products or negotiating with buyers, which there were several distributed here and there are.
It is in this area, where a fat and greedy man could be heard singing aloud, on a wooden platform, advertising his product with enthusiasm.
"Come, come!" He exclaimed, "here are the best slaves in the entire empire, you are lacking a good servant to take care of your house, or a beautiful companion to spend an unforgettable night, well, wait no more, here I bring you 10 the best slaves you can find. "We have them of different sizes and ages, from the small, perfect to raise and train them to your liking or already in the prime of their life ready for any job, and above all, they are all 100 percent pure. So go ahead and buy, I promise your money will be well spent."

This merchant talked about and promoted his unfortunate products as he did every day in his life, caring for them nothing more than keeping them clean, barely fed, and wearing barely decent clothing to present them in a shame wrap.
And as every day he sometimes sold and sometimes he did not, but there were times that some of his unfortunate maids remained unsold for a long time, it was then that he put it on sale to get out of them quickly, and if this did not work he could always sell it to some brothel who always had room for someone.
Then this afternoon of the same day, this situation was presented to one of her maids who, due to her race, was not popular to sell.
"Offer, offer at half price, this maiden is a rare breed of feline beast, capable of generating heat, perfect to keep a warm night, and not be guided by her eyes by her features, she is very capable in performing her tasks In addition to being a beast, she will have more resistance and power than the others, being able to do double, no, triple the work of a normal maid, so do not hesitate and buy now. Also, since she is still a girl, you will have the pleasure of training her and shaping her as you like.
That merchant talked and shouted promoting not only her but other poor maidens, and from time to time he approached the poor feline and said threateningly.
"Look, little beast, you better not cry, start acting flirtatious and put on a beautiful smile just like her," he said while pointing to another slave who was a few years older than she, who was seen smiling at everyone who passed by "because if you don't sell yourself by tomorrow, I swear I'll sell to a brothel as a third-grade lady, and let me warn you, that third-grade girls, especially scrawny girls like you, don't last a month, do you understand?"

Hearing this, the girl without a voice in the matter could only nod her head, and in great fear put a forced smile on her face.
"This fatal, but there are those who feel sorry for this, so keep it up and remember my promise."
At the end of this exchange, the merchant, without wasting his valuable time, resumed his commercial activity, changing his menacing face, to a cheerful and friendly one as usual.
Sometime later, as if fate took pity on the poor feline, who was on the verge of collapse, a middle-aged woman approached the merchant and asked him about the feline, and after a little negotiation, the little girl was successfully sold.
"Come on little one, she will be your owner, so behave yourself and don't make me lose my face, because I swear that if they give you back if they don't kill you, I'll sell you to the brothel at once."
It was then with these words of farewells, that the little girl left in silence with the lady who carried her tied with a strap in her hands, which, upon reaching the front of a large house in the east, she said to her.
"Look girl, I'll tell you now, don't even dream of waiting for more than hard work, since I only buy you because you're ugly, cheap, and because of your beast strength."

The Reaper's Legion
Earth: An advanced inhabitable world in the ideal colonizable range. Moderate temperatures and consistent weather patterns make this planet an incredible resource, along with a wealth of animals and wildlife beyond most worlds. Inhabited by the sentient species designated “Humans,” Earth would likely have joined the galactic community of its own accord. Levels of technology in local populace indicate a sharp trend towards interstellar travel, but still needs to make the last push to acquire reasonable interstellar technologies. Up until quite recently, Earth has not been a fully classified planet and was largely unknown. Due to biotic activity in the quadrant, however, attention has been drawn to Earth and many other possibly habitable planets in the regions, primarily for quarantine and control tactics. Matthew Todd was not a particularly unique human being before the meteors struck the earth. Average athletics, above average intelligence, but somewhat gifted in marksmanship, the post-apocalyptic earth has been a trial by fire for him and many others. Creatures that resemble bastardized wolves roam the land in packs numbering in the thousands. With entire cities decimated, those that remain are left with the harsh reality that they may be witnessing the end of humanity. And yet, there is a chance. Humanity knows they are not alone in the universe - the wolves are case enough for that - but what they do not know is that they are not alone in their plight. They are not without aid. Obelisks descend from the sky, giving the people a means to fight back. With tools ranging from guns to advanced mechanical apparatus and more bizarre tools, the people must cull the Biotics. Or, be consumed by the ever growing and mutating threat. Join Matthew in the fight to exterminate the Biotic threat, and to ensure the survival of human kind!
