Story concept brainstorms

I like thinking that when I shoot someone and they are blown to bits... they die.
Matters not what calls them back.

: ) Then you also use an imaginative story in the game. "Imaginative" because in reality (in game I mean) you're not really killing.
However I added a sentence that will leave you imagine this and what you prefer:

"[...] teams and clans meet to contest their matches; Officials or clandestine."

We know that in clandestine matches anything can happen and all the rules can change, including rules for the safety of players, betting and others bad things.

I think this could be the last version (except mistakes). If I'll do not receive requests or questions my part would ends here.

This is a mix from previous stories.
The general tone is "dark" because none of the protagonists of the story really reaches his goal: Humans do not survive; The aliens remain convinced that they have found the truth about their origins. The sport itself could degenerate in clandestine matches.
Seems the players are the only protagonists that can do something right: Just play : )


-Added "Clandestine matches" to allow the story itself other imaginative developments (e.g. the previous post).


Edit
The four periods telling the story are long because a possible video could take "some time" for the intro, before moving to the game's actions. If necessary they could be summarized by replacing the emphatic phrases, here included for the narrating voice, with a simple exposure.


A story.

Many centuries ago,
in our far future,
on inhospitable and radioactive world,
lived a peaceful and technologically advanced interplanetary community.

The first inhabitants were children coming from various planets.
They were survivors of an accident occurred their spaceship millennia ago.
There they grew;
by sharing they thrive;
they all forgot their origins; ______________________[edit] Their origins they all forgot;

Until they found an ancient subsea building and documents telling about
a devastating nuclear war occurred there millions years before.
Beliving the owner one of their ancestors they thought had discovered because they were left alone.
Really it was what remained of another people: The human beings;
They were on our Earth.

In order to remember "their fathers" and their horrible mistakes,
they established the Origins Week, a gaming and events time,
culminating in the Nex Day: The end of life representing games.
Soon their spectacular representations became famous all over the cosmos;
Was transformed into a sport.

Dividing in various disciplines,
as Capture the Flag, Death Match, Key Hunt, Last Man standing, Race and others;
Using abandoned space stations, ruined buildings, arenas and any forgot place,
professional single players, teams and clans meet to contest their matches;
Officials or clandestine.

[edit] Also wearing suits simulating "their ancestors" shapes and ancient weapons resistant armors,
they jump boosted by explosions, flying in the air faster than ancient rockets,
launching their hooks, or climbing the walls using their lasers, trying to avoid opponents fire.
As in the ancient war no chance for a long life, but use it for the best, for remember,
scoring for another bit of life.

Every year on that planet, during the longest night of winter,
subscriptions to Nexuiz are open and free for all.
But started one second ago, in a far future we will never know,
be sure someone is already playing!

This is a possible text (but voice too) version.


Removed
- Enphatic parts for voice version.
- Some specification (e.g. Nex Day definition)
- Some purely narrative phrase.

Added
- A metaphorical reference to local and server modes in the last sentence.
