The Story So Far...

NEW MARS CITY AND THE YEARS OF THE REVOLUTION.

Within a generation of its foundation, the mining colony of New Mars City is a corrupt and riven colony. Ruled over by the Earth Administration in league with Corporate Interests, the underclass is seething, desperate for a say in their world.

Into this mix comes Aram Chaos, an obscure musician who’s breakthrough album, “Mars Awakened”, strikes a chord in the masses and moves some to instigate a peaceful intifada against the cancerous Combine.

In a breathtaking over-reaction, the Administration forcefully targets Aram Chaos as a terrorist, hoping to stem the uprising before it begins. He is accused of killing the US President and warrants are released for his arrest – dead or alive.

Far from suppressing the uprising, the underclasses rise up in violence, riding on the crest of Aram’s stirring and controversial songs. But where is he? Nobody – not the Administration nor the Revolution - can find him.

Aram Chaos is gone.

Instead of fading away, Aram is claimed by both sides, becoming Hero & Villain. Depending on whom you listen to his exploits become grander, crueler, vainer or more noble, with each passing year that the Revolution drags on.

He is attributed with siring a million babies, collaborating with rock legends and resurrecting the dead. His music and words are dissected and re-examined ad-nauseum.

Unwittingly he spawns a religion, a war and a multi billion dollar memorabilia industry.

Many claim to be Aram – crackpots, losers and attention seekers – but none are convincing for long.

Some say he never existed, that Aram Chaos is an elaborate piece of Administration propaganda used as an excuse to crush dissent. Others, that he is a true folk hero of uncompromising integrity who has successfully eluded the Administration for almost 20 years.

Regardless, the War drags on.
