1950 for Christianity, 2950 for Judaism, 1350 for Islam, 4950 for those of no faith. That was the year they started developing them. Prosthetic limbs, robotic parts and enhancements. Even drugs enhancing human capabilities. For the longest time, these were only available to the government and the rich, but, on the day now known in every history book, some plans and parts were stolen.
19th of May 2016, a group of hackers and burglars broke into the laboratories producing the parts and stole them. Stolen plans allowed them to make more, and also the enhancing drugs.
Gang wars broke out over control and usage of these. The most clever ones managed to create variations of the parts and drugs, making them richer and more powerful. As the city became a Warzone, the police fought back and got driven into a corner.

Now, the government, rich powerful people and police live in the center, which is now surrounded by a huge unpenetrable metal wall not unlike those in Berlin in the 60's. After ending a few gangs, they got ahold of parts again and started using them on themselves. Expeditions are often lead into each side, the center and the suburbs, between both camps.

GAMEPLAY:

You can play as a police officer or gang member. You are free to create your own gang (see template under) or join another player's. (Limit of three gangs)
Your starting place in the city will depend on your gang or faction. The game is set in London, and the goal of the police is to stop the gang and the gang to become richer and better (taking over factories, stealing new equipment, killing off other gangs).

ENHANCEMENTS/RACES:

Human - A normal human, no enhancements or drug use. May change during RP.

Cyborg - Pejoratively called "Tin Cans" or "Steel Men". These are humans (or full on robots) who are made of mostly parts (minor enhancements like an arm or leg or eye are still considered human and can "blend in" with no "racism". They are usually frowned upon and segregated.

Drug User - Either Policeman or Human. Can have enhancements but extra cybernetic enhancements penalize them even more when drugs wear off.

DRUGS:
-Nectar: Named after the gods drink in Greek Mythology, nectar provides a state of pure bliss to the user. It is usually diluted into coca cola or alcohol and drunk that way. Usually applied when no anesthetic available, as it dulls pain and can be useful during surgical operations.

You can pile on drugs and the effects (AND NEGATIVE EFFECTS) also cumulate. The penalties when it wears off are also 2x.

How to ingest it:

Sniffing
Smoking
Eating
Drinking
Injecting (nearly everyone carries a needle on them now)
Suction (Cyborgs with an artificial blood stream, heart or brain require this to pump it through their veins. They all come equipped with a small slot at the back of their neck with a little hole with a tube in it, where you can put a tube of the drug inside).

Factions:

London Metropolitan Police:

Gangs:
NONE YET
