Untitled Valor Campaign [Interest Check]

really. You don't know where you are, or who you are for that matter.
You're wet and cold - fresh from a holding vat. There are others here.
Not all of the vats are open. Just the few of you, out of ten. Nine in
a circle, with one in the middle. There's an alarm going off, pounding
in your head. A garbled voice comes over the intercom, telling you all
that you need to escape, as fast as possible. It's a long way to the
roof, but your mystery benefactor is convinced you have the strength
and the skills to make it out alive. Time to find out.

You are a part of Project Helios, a supersoldier project carried out by [REDACTED] involving genetic splicing with animals and/or cybernetic enhancements. You may show visible signs of this, and look like a monster, or you may be lucky, and still look like a human. It's not consistent. The only thing that seems to be consistent are numbers and symbols tattooed on your biceps. It's up to you to escape from [REDACTED], and find out who and what you are. As for after that? ...let's cross that bridge if you get to it.
What is this?
This a Valor campaign, based on a mystery canon. The player characters all start the game as amnesiacs, thanks to Project Helios' preliminary brainwashing. As such, both your characters and you will learn more about this world together. However, I will ask that players keep their speculation on what this world is to themselves until it's brought to light. I do intend to drop some hints throughout, but I don't want to confirm anything until I show my hand.
What do I need to know?
-I'm not certain when exactly this will start, other than I want to wait until Kingdom Valor ends, so rough estimate is maybe late 2021?
-Sessions will run roughly three hours, done via Roll20. There will be a discord server for OOC stuff. Weekday and time are very to be determined. Ideally I'd want to make it Fridays to replace KV, but who knows what the fuck will be going on in the world at that time.
-I'm welcome to Valor newbies! I'm looking for four to five players.
Character guidelines:
PCs are experiments made with the intention of being powerful enough to stand up to entire military units on their own, and have had their genes spliced with those of animals (singular or multiple, player choice), and possibly enhanced with cybernetic upgrades. While these changes may alter the PCs' size, they are still humanoid in shape. The setting is primarily a near-future sci-fi with a handful of fantasy/supernatural bits - similar to Resident Evil and Metal Gear. Until their actual names are learned, PCs will only be known by their project codenames ICly, which I'll be assigning - these codenames will be the corresponding names to the symbols they're tattooed with. (Helios, Mercury, Venus, Terra, Mars, etc.)
If you think this is neat, but won't be able to play, I'm open to also having some folks in the server to discuss plotting and plans with in a locked channel! (Especially since this will be my first time DMing, ahah.)
