no pictures this time, but i do have an update for you guys.
since i've never actually given a real explanation of the story, and i'm sure you're all like 'what is this madness', now's as good a time as any to try and give a decent summary.

The story takes place on earth, following a slightly alternate timeline of history to allow for the necessary technology.
‘Aesir’ was begun as a Cold War era project with Soldat. The aim of the project was to create highly specialized/ super soldiers. Soldat was conceived and funded by the Soviet government.
It was eventually decided that Soldat wasn’t providing satisfactory results- too many variables with subjects, high mortality rate, etc., the project was replaced with Aesir. Aesir was meant to be a replacement/ version 2.0 of the original aim of Soldat. By this time the Cold War had ended, the project was continued without Soviet involvement and funded privately.
The initial Aesir experiments were a fusion of human and animal DNA to try to create superior reflexes/ senses, etc. later experiments also returned to the genetically engineered human roots of Soldat.
e were two phases to Aesir- the original experiments (first through fourth generations) at the first lab which were eventually scrapped as prototypes, and the fifth generation which yielded more satisfactory results and effectiveness.
The labs where Soldat/Aesir take place are in Germany (no specific location yet, but probably somewhere in the area that was East Germany). Currently have the lab/company going by Schützen (been renamed about as often as some of the characters, but schützen seems to be sticking for now lol)current character roster (if only to get it down in one coherent list instead of all over the blog) :
Soldat: Maverick, Sin, Mishka, Andrei
Aesir generation 1-4: Vidar, Skoll, Vili, Hel, Loki
Aesir generation 5: Skade, Huginn, Muninn
and as was mentioned in a previous post, there are various other background/ KIA before the story characters that haven't really popped into existence yet
