Mettallian

After the dawn of Unreal Tournament, the universe suffered from a massive loss of miners to provide their planets with the precious materials needed for life. Miners everywhere were going to the Tournament and many were killed ruthlessly without a chance. Seeing this problem get worse, the powers of the mining industry gathered to come up with a remedy for this widespread dilemna.

Many ideas where thrown onto the table. They tried to hire women and children to mine with the absence of the men of the universe. This was a major catastrophy for the planets universal. The mining executives also thought of calling the professional miners back from from the Tournament. This only caused uproar in the civilian population. The Tournament was not only a fun place for miners to go, but it was also the single most sucessful universal television show.

In a last ditch effort, the mining executives hired an army of scientists to create a miner that would be stonger, more efficient and faster than any miner before. The thousands of scientists created The Mettallian, a completly metal creature to mine for the universe. Not only were the Mettallian eons better miners than the previous miners, they required no training, no life insurance, no salary and best yet their lives were indefinite.

All went well until the scientists and mining executives were taken by shock when the Mettallian revolted, killing families and destroying the mines they were to work in. The scientists destroyed the Mettalian race as quickly as they created it. However, one lone Mettallian survived.

Outraged by his brother's geanocide, he destroyed his makers. The scientists thought they had destroyed the whole Mettallina race, but their first prototype 0000001, code named Zeus, survived.

The officals of the Tournament saw this great achivement of Zeus and prophisized him to be the next Xan. Quick to earn a profit, the Tournament officals bought Zeus from the mining executives to fight in the Tournament.

Hence the first and last member of the Mettallian race was thrown into the Tournament, now it is up to him to become what he was prophisized to be...
