January 1st, 2074:: Operation Renewal
It was the perfect project to kick off the new year, what was supposed to be the perfect year for humanity. Operation Renewal got the green light from "The Council", or the three world powers that had over taken the old system. The United Nations of America, The Sovereign Russian Federation , and The Regime of Asia. A collaborative project that would bring Earth back into its prime, the first focus of the operation was to focus primarily on restoring beneficial flora, past and present. A chemical compound was developed that could be released into a body of water and would self sufficiently spread across the globe. A dangerous idea, but two years previous of preliminary test results showed a 99% effectiveness in a closed habitat for the desire results. Over Three-hundred pods were released on each continent, and the chemical compound lovely nicknamed Greenwater by those who created it, spread quickly. It attached itself to water molecules, and traveled with them as they evaporated into the atmosphere. When a new unaffected molecule came into contact Greenwater would divide and spread itself to each unaffected water molecule it came across. Results across the board showed a success rate of 99%, with a margin of error of less than 1%.
November 14th, 2075:: Operation Renewal
With over a year of success, The Council pushed forward the dates for stabilized ecosystem manipulation. Which was the largest part of Operation Renewal. Compiled information in regards to the theory of such manipulation would require extreme resources of man power and supplies. Which in turn was beneficiary to the populace of much of the world, as it created thousands of jobs worldwide as the demand increased. The economy soared to new levels, and so did Operation Renewal. The first step for SEM, or the stabilized ecosystem manipulation project, would be to restore the populations of positive animal influences, and weed out the less desired. But how could they manage to affect every animal species, how could they make sure to get each and every animal. The solution was simple, everything needed water.
A new compound was not to be. Each test resulted in the Greenwater compound overriding anything they tried to pair with it. When an animal drank Greenwater, and then ate from a plant, the compound would travel through the saliva and into the plant, helping it regrow substantially faster. The science community was afraid of making a fauna control compound with a higher priority than Greenwater, as it could undo all of their hard work and potentially destroy the ecosystem. But a modification, another line of genetic code was the most promising answer. Greenwater became Graywater, a compound that both gives and removes. It was designed to boost the flora growth rate, while increasing the fertility of fauna with certain positive attributes, and becoming a virus for the undesired fauna. Results across the board showed a success rate of 99%, with a margin of error of less than 1%.
July 9th, 2098:: Operation Renewal
It took 24 years for Operation Renewal to see its end. Graywater had become a booming success. Much of the world had exploding ecosystems. There were no longer any deserts, or arctic wastelands. Antarctica had grown into a tropical paradise, trees regrew to their full maturity in a fraction of the time it usually took. Evergreens for instance, took a matter of months to regrow to their full height. There were only two problems with this. The populace now had to try a little harder to keep their gardens free of weeds, and the increasing temperature, and rising water levels. That's where the weather towers came into play. Hundreds of these towers spread across the globe all powered up on July 9th, 2098. The solution seemed as if it had been achieved, the global temperature remained at a pleasant warmth. The towers turned the excess water into towering fluffy clouds, controlling the water level. Results showed success of 99% across the boards, with a 1% margin of error.
January 1st, 3000:: Millennium celebration
The world was looking to become a paradise. Everything was under mankind's control. Weather, Ecosystem, Energy. Without the need to burrow into the ground, specialized jobs were created for the synthetic manufacturing of many nonrenewable resources. Though with the coming of advanced solar and lunar technology the demand for such things and oil were low.
August 22nd, 3000:: Outbreak
Perhaps arrogant in their success, nobody had seen the Outbreak coming. When a molecule of Graywater failed to divide properly, it instead created two corrupt cells. This error in the genetic make up of Graywater had given itself a high prioritization than that of the original. By the time it was noticed, it was too late to stop. The corrupted chemical compound turned the water black, as if to signify the death it was to deal. The new code remained attached to water, and kept its original intent but there was now a mutation. When examined under a microscope it was described as a shadow. Examination of infected red blood cells showed the same shadow. Media coverage of incidents caused by this new, Blackwater, spread panic across the globe. The once beautiful paradise of the world was quickly changing into something more hostile, and humanity was ill equipped to deal with it.
Venus Flytraps now grew to a size large enough to capture a person, equipped with enzymes strong enough to break them down should a hermetic seal happen. Reports surfaced in Europe of a jungle cat, originally removed in the fauna manipulation, attacking a neighborhood. Rumors circulated of the jungle cat subduing its prey with the utilization of something akin to a scorpion tail. Worse than that, when a human is exposed to Blackwater, they catch a sickness. The sickness, dubbed "The Shadow" by local populations, causes a fatality in about a weeks time. After death, Blackwater takes control, keeping the body alive much the same way it nourished the fauna and flora. The original host becomes a carrier for the virus, contraction from a host results in a fatality within minutes, unlike the water variant.
This roleplay takes place September 24th, 3030. I understand that not everything I have stated is scientifically accurate, I also do not care. To give you a basic rundown of the world at its current. Everything is overrun with vegetation, most of it has a tropical feel as the header would suggest. All of the water of the world is contaminated and is a murky black, thus the name Blackwater. The virus turns you into a zombie, do not be fooled by clever wording. Animals suffer their own mutations and genetic abnormalities. Plants simply grow quicker, faster, and some of them, meaner. The water level has risen, leaving much of the east flooded and some of the west coast as well. Once the OOC is up I will have players vote on where they would like to start. I will be accepting characters in both this thread and the OOC.
I am highly open to ideas, so never be afraid to talk to me about something. We can always work something out. Obviously standard advanced rules apply, if you don't know them feel free to ask.
What I'm looking for: Genuine players who actually are willing to put time and effort into the roleplay. I'd rather it not just be "another thing to do" in your off-time. I have a passion for writing, and I like to do that through roleplay. If you can't keep up then please, don't waste our time.
Questions or Concerns? Ask here or PM me.
**NOTE:: Post Time:: I usually give a week for everybody to post, as I feel that is a genuinely fair amount of time for those who have posted to wait, and those who have not to get a chance to. If there is a complication or a reason for delay let me know, am I pretty forgiving. Life gets in the way sometimes, I understand.
**Another NOTE:: Knowledge of actual guns, and things:: Don't need it, I promote making shit up. You want a folding slug-launching sniper-shotgun? Sounds awesome to me. I will just make a bigger monster to eat you.
**Yet another NOTE:: Technological advances. Think of what we have today, but more diverse. Less on the plasma/laser side more on the projectiles, and bullets, and man-with-robot-arm-axe. Think harder metals, better lenses, advanced optics, solar and lunar technology, folding-slug-launching sniper-shotgun, Also, yes, Robots. With guns.
