The '''Eternity Project''' is an organization dedicated to "overcoming humanity's greatest obstacle" — death. Created by a corporation known as Xavius Solutions, the Eternity Project is revealed to be the driving force behind the [[Moon Children]] cult — in reality nothing more than a front for the company — whom they used as test subjects while researching [[ascension]], the act of digitizing one's consciousness to preserve life after the death of the physical body.

The Eternity Project is an organization dedicated to "overcoming humanity's greatest obstacle" — death. Created by a corporation known as Xavius Solutions, the Eternity Project is revealed to be the driving force behind the Moon Children cult — in reality nothing more than a front for the company — whom they used as test subjects while researching ascension, the act of digitizing one's consciousness to preserve life after the death of the physical body.

History

The history of the Eternity Project is largely unknown.

In 1998, "one of" the first iterations of the Project, the Moon Children "cult", was founded by the 'moniker' (a term used by the Project to denote the identities assumed by individuals post-ascension) Kelbris. That the cult is described as "one of" the first iterations might imply that the Project, in some semblance, existed beforehand, but nothing is known about it until that point — likewise, whether or not the corporation called "Xavius Solutions" was formed before or after 1998 is unknown. The Moon Children cult was nothing more than a front for the Project to develop what was eventually known as "ascension" - a means of transcending mortal bodies of flesh in favor of immortality as digital beings. At this time, it was believed that only children were capable of ascending, and that ascension could only be achieved through a fantastic death — so the cult acted as a conduit by which marginalized children and adolescents could be unwittingly recruited to become parts of the Project's experiments. However, things evidently went awry, as in the same year, Kelbris was electrocuted, and whether intending to or not, had ascended. Kelbris' achievement earned him his apotheosis within his cult as a figure eventually known as 'The Father'. Outside the cult, the Eternity Project used Kelbris' example as their framework for future operations.

Then comes another gap in the Project's history, nearly nothing is known about them between 1998 and 2020. What is known is largely fragmented: research into ascension continued and by 2003 a second individual - a child named Ben - was successfully ascended. Ben was digitized, per his request, into his favorite video game, Majora's Mask. Kelbris, at some point, was also inserted into the game cartridge, where he served as a sort-of overseer. The Eternity Project also pursued endeavors in computer programming, as they eventually created a complex artificial intelligence which they named the Behavioral Event Network in Ben's honor. Throughout this period, the Moon Children cult continued to operate and attract new members, however more nefarious happenings began to occur. By 2009 the Project had begun kidnapping prospective ascendees, including an individual by the name of Rosa. As ascensions continued to be performed, more and more were digitized into the cartridge of Majora's Mask. Some, who were angry at their circumstances, eventually amalgamated into the B.E.N. AI and became a sadistic hive-mind bent on wreaking havoc.

By 2010, the cartridge of Majora's Mask was in the possession of an old man who lived in Ben's neighborhood. By chance, a college student known online as “Jadusable” came across the cartridge at the old man's yard-sale and took it home for free. After discovering the world within and being harassed by "BEN", he too was done in by the Project and ascended. The Project, presumably, took back possession of the cartridge as well. Unfortunately, Jadusable had been recording his gameplay sessions and posting them online, which allowed BEN to escape to the internet via the recording setup.

Some time in the next 10 years, the Eternity Project rebranded themselves as "The Family" and began building more 'worlds' for ascendeds to inhabit, all of which were built off of the Majora's Mask cartridge. The existence of the cartridge, now termed “World Alpha” was buried, and became a closely guarded secret of the Project. Over time, the Project honed the process of ascension and it became a much more amicable, voluntary procedure that was applicable to persons of all ages. By 2020, the Eternity Project had gone public, and offered their services to anyone who wished to escape death through digitization. The Moon Children cult had gone defunct by this time.
