History Webcomic / Serix

Not long afterwards, hundreds of colonists long thought dead wake up after a [[HumanPopsicle 150 year sleep]] all across the planet [[DeathWorld Ulyphus]] for unknown reasons. One of these colonists, [[ActionSurvivor Dr. Caleb Chelsea Jordan]], emerges from a stasis pod with the mission to find the missing members of a their crew. Given the danger posed by the planet they found themselves on however, Caleb and the other survivors can only shelter in place while calling for help from a universe they no longer recognize.

* BrainInAJar: Mentioned as the state a large portion of humanity are in. It seems to be voluntary, since they can still use the [=MindNet=] and can transfer their consciousness into robotic or organic bodies whenever they want to interact with the real world.

* EmptyShell: Rees's body is briefly left in this state when she and all her [=MindNet=] friends leave it for a job until she remembers to come back and set it to auto-pilot.

* NeuralImplanting: Seems to be the preferred method for most people to learn any skill, and it's so quick and convenient that May is able to download GunFu skills off the [=MindNet=] in the middle of a firefight.

* SharingABody: Rees's body is technically owned by six individuals (Rees, May, Kay, Fara, Isaac, and Tomi the Tiger) who can swap in and out at will, though Rees is usually in control as the others spend most of their time on the [=MindNet=]. Apparently this is not an uncommon arrangement.

* EmptyShell: Rees's body is briefly left in this state when she and all her friends leave it for a job until she remembers to come back and set it to auto-pilot.

* TheSilentBob: Doctor Caleb Jordan.
* TheSlacker: Despite her work being entirely voluntary, Rees doesn't actually enjoy doing her job outside of working with droids and goofing around with her crew. Her first appearance on the clock shows her taking a nap and taking the first opportunity she finds to leave early.

Meanwhile, a citizen of The Colonial Federation of Serix by the name of [[TheHero Rees Sparks]] decides she's bored of living entirely [[{{Cyberspace}} online]] and convinces five of her buddies to co-fund a [[CustomBuiltHost physical body]] so they can experience the "real world." She signs up for the Frontier Voluntary Labour Corps to meet new people and work on droids, and is assigned to work with a crew of maintenance workers on a backwater desert planet called Risol. Rees lives a happy if relatively boring life, until one day when a large portion of their territory is claimed in a hostile takeover by the better-funded [[MegaCorp Aksia Star Faction]]. Rees and her crew are left scrambling to make up for resources now lost to them, try to get their property back, and figure out why Aksia would even bother to steal such seemingly unimportant land in the first place.

* ClingyCostume: Doctor Jordan's space suit is apparently partially fused to his skin. It's not clarified whether this was intentionally done or if it was a consequence of his botched mission.

* IncrediblyLameFun: The Jeroshimo Canyon crew like to spend their free time at Cassie's Cliff Top Bar betting on what number will show up on a random number generator. Also, Caleb's only source of entertainment when sheltering from an acid storm is playing VideoGame/{{Pong}} by himself.

* SharingABody: Rees's body is technically owned by six individuals who can swap in and out at will, though Rees is usually in control as the others spend most of their time on the [=MindNet=]. Apparently this is not an uncommon arrangement.

* ClingyCostume: Doctor Jordan's space suit is apparently partially fused to his skin.

* BigEater: Rees, to the point that when she gets the chance to have multiple bodies active at once to multiply her productivity, she just sends one of them to a buffet. ''For several months straight''.

* BornAsAnAdult: Many humans in the setting are created this way, being rapidly grown to adulthood while hooked up to learning programs. Rees, for example, is not even four years old at the beginning of the story.
* BrainInAJar: Mentioned as the state a large portion of the population are in.

* FutureFoodIsArtificial: Something called "plasti-food" exists, which Rees eats exclusively out of a desire to not hurt real animals or plants. It's apparently not very healthy.

* StoutStrength: Rees is a bit overweight, but is shown to still be quite strong

* TheSilentBob: Doctor Caleb Jordan.

* AlienBlood: Bodily fluids from the more alien-looking individuals come in a variety of colors, but even the characters closer to "normal" humans can have this trait as a reminder of the various body modifications they might have. For example, Rees is shown to have blue tears for whatever reason.

->''The Homo Sapien is extinct. Neo humanity and its counterparts have inherited the stars.''

->''Their population numbers in the trillions. 99.997% of the people live in perpetual peace and in perfect harmony with their machines.''

->''This story is not about the perfect worlds...''
