2115: The machines have been further refined for cheaper assembly. Almost every household now owns a personal machine.

2116: Ethics Community created to protect the rights of the machines. However, human bias of the committee made each law work in the interest of mankind. Machine sympathizers began riots in the streets. Minor domestic disturbances, only a few deaths reported. The same cannot be said of the machines.

2127: Learning from the past, strict rules were enforced. Law enforcement has become integrated into the Ethics Committee. Many anti-synthetic extremist carry out atrocious crimes against humanities synthetic siblings.

2129: First reported crime of murder by the hands of a machine. Law enforcement and civilian alike treat machines with heavy prejudice. Strong resentment and disregard for the platforms begin. The streets of every nation is set ablaze with violence. Initially, the machines don’t retaliate. However, it didn’t stay like that for long.

2130: Military forces are called in. The revolt of the machines have begun. Every corner of the once great megalopolises are filled with death. The machines begin to develop weapons of their own through the salvage and rapid research that they can command. Slowly, humanity is slowly losing their ground.

2131: Humanity resorts to WMDs in hopes of destroying their creations. With heavy regret, death reigns from above as whole cities are leveled. Families unable to flee to safe distances are vaporized under the extreme heat of human made missiles. However, the objective was successful. The machines were halted... for now.

2133: Earth has become polluted with radiation and nuclear winters. Humanity has quickly fled to underground cities. There, new generations are born. Life goes on, but new dangers have arrived.

2135: First encounter with the mutated has been confirmed. Studies have confirmed the infectivity of a bite from the infected. Anatomy has revealed that and saliva or any particle of blood can cause immediate infection. Infectees are enraged and show extreme aggression as do they have superior speed. All combat personnel are ordered to kill on sight. Distance kills recommended.

2137 (Present Day): Humanity has lost any hope in reclaiming the surface. The infected and the machines have supremacy. Contact has been lost with many underground cities while surface settlements have also been lost. The population is slowly diminishing. The golden age of humans is over.

Plot: You, the survivors of the great calamity, have survived natural selection and are the last hope of humanity. Being part of the city residing underneath the appalachian mountains, you are part of the elite Shadow Task Group. While on a routine patrol, a marine patrol came across intel that can possibly lead to a virus that counteracts the virus of the infected. Thus, you, a team of expert special ops and combat scientist, must traverse the great wastelands of Old Earth to the location that the intel states. Washington D.C., the site where the great war's bloodiest battle took place between the machines and humanity took place. Though the machines haven’t been sighted in a long time, the danger of the infected are there. You are the final hope of humanity. You cannot fail.

Service Record:

Operative: Operatives are the soldiers of the Shadow Task Group. They are the ‘shoot first ask later’ type of individuals. Whenever the need to hold a spot or clear a room is needed, they’re weapons and CQC training will be the most proficient at that.

Combat Scientist: Though they have trained in combat, these individuals excel at collecting samples from the field and synthesizing needed substances. These team members are absolutely essential for the mission. their lives should be placed higher than that of the other members of the S.T.G.

Medical Skills: Because of the environment that each military operative lives in, each must learn self first aid and self radiation prevention administration.

Refugees: Civilians who were not able to escape to a underground city in time. They walk the lands salvaging and surviving the best that they can. Some settlements have arised, but their existence is brief.

New Republic Order: Closely resembling the Fourth Reich that sprouted up during the machine wars, these fanatics strive to create a government based on absolute totalitarian authority. Their forces are ruthless as they are merciless.

Infected: Mutated humans whom have been twisted beyond human recognition. They are feral and seek to attack anything that does not contain the virus mutation.

The Machines: Arch enemy of humanity, these artificial beings have far surpassed the technology of their creators. Though they haven’t been actively attacking any known human settlements, they are still active in the east as they are in the west. For now, they remain silent until a suitable time to re-ignite the sparks of war is convenient for them.

Cities and Locations:

UGC-001: The underground city that resides under the Appalachian mountains. Due to it’s proximity towards the infected in the major cities and the last known sightings of the machines, residents here are battle hardened and prepared for military defense and excursions.

UGC-002: Based in Midwest, this city is responsible for the continued development of humanities technology and source of energy. Due to its isolated location, attacks are not as frequent as that of UGC-001. The brilliant minds, thus, flock to this city, for Universities still exist within its borders.

UGC-007: Based in Texas, this city has long since contented with the threat from the New Republic Order and that of the infected. Mostly soldiers remain here.

Zone W.O.R: West of the Rocky mountains belong to the New Republic Order. Slave labor is existent as are public execution. Though the infected are still rampant in these parts, due to the N.R.O’s cities being above ground, many of the bigger settlements of theirs is under extreme heavy guard as the purging of infected are routine for these soldiers.

Polis: Rumors circulate that their is a large refugee settlement that resides around the great lakes of Old. Though the rumors are sweet, nothing has been confirmed as of now.

UGC-010: This settlement has long since been lost to the contact of the other cities. Reports say the infected overran the defenders and somehow got inside. However, more disturbing reports state that the machines have garrisoned the city. Regardless, this northeastern city’s condition has yet to be confirmed.

1. Don't God-mod, it's no fun.

2. I expect everyone to be familiar with Advance RP writing standards.

3. Judging from past experience, I'm asking all accepted participants to post at least once a week to be considered active unless you tell me. It allows the plot to keep moving.

4. Copy rule number 3 to show me you've read this.

5. To avoid the stupid redundancy of rules, I'll just say this. I really want this to be an organic RP. To that end, it is your decision in how we shape our journey ahead. Of course, I'll give light guide lines to where we're suppose to go, but it's ultimately all of us who decides on how we get there. Simple right? So in a single line: Use common sense and have fun!
