[center][h3]112,000 A.E. After Earth 22nd Day of Helio Erellon[/h3][/center] [u][b]The Council's Helio Meeting[/b][/u] "Professor, please address The Council." A booming voice from the male Lycan representative sounded through the well lit room. It was lit with luminous vines that cross the ceilings and walls in beautiful patterns. Wide trumpet shaped flowers glowed even more brightly than the vines themselves, they were focused on the man standing in the center of the crescent shaped room. "Council Members, we have received transmissions that we are now sure that have come from Earth. They have sent messages looking to see if there is anyone that can hear them. They say instead of leaving Earth as our ancestors did they went underground." The man looked around at the representatives as he spoke. Their faces betrayed nothing but they nodded briefly at him. His own rep looked at him plainly, "We thank you for this information Professor. Allow us to discuss this new information and we shall invite you back in to assist us in developing a course of action." [hr] [b][u]Background[/u][/b] During the year 2100 Earth's people are in the middle of a crisis, a major one. All of the political authorities are at a loss and under attack, the people have no trust in the government or anyone who works with it or in it. By this time the major cities and metropolitan areas have succumbed to much decay and sickness is rampant. There are too many people and not enough resources to provide for them. Droughts and natural disasters have plagued nearly everywhere and only a few pockets of sanity remain in the world and their life span does not appear to be much longer. There are few choices left and two distinct groups form in the background of the chaos. There are those who want to travel underground, into a new way of life and are already developing the plans and means to make their mission real life. They are resolute about their decision and that something must be done. Those who are not a hundred percent with the plans are removed from the group and exiled. Soon they will put their plans fully into motion and begin their new lives underground. The second group is much larger than those who wish to travel beneath the surface of Earth. These people have located a planet in a fare away galaxy that has similar conditions to Earth with a slightly higher concentration of oxygen and much more land space and fresh water. It's name is Erellon. They've gathered the resources and developed the technology to travel the distance to this new planet to start a new life. [hr] This roleplay will begin shortly after the arrival of the Underground Sect and the Erellon Sect on the surface of Earth. It's been over a 100,000 years since they left the surface. There are unknown creatures residing on the surface and many possible dangers. There is no trace of humans even being on the surface, even the most stubborn remnants of humanity have succumbed to nature. Earth's atmosphere has also returned to it's pre-human status. Earth has healed itself and the people who have returned are determined not to make the same mistakes their ancestors made and destroy the planet once again. We will have advanced technology and weaponry for both parties and their vastly different lifestyles will be evident in this. I will also be allowing various mythical creatures in with the humans and gifted humans. Do keep in mind which sect your character is from. We will be working together to give those underground a new place to live and to give the people of Erellon somewhere else to live. Technology wise there will be advanced guns from the underground sect, they are laser type guns that burn through whatever they are aimed at. There are also hover boards and pods that people use to navigate the underground labyrinth of tunnels and rooms. There are tens of thousands of miles of tunnels now and a fairly large population of people who live underground. The people from Erellon live a very different life out in the open on the surface of the planet. People barter for items they want and there is not currency there. They have very advanced medicines but those are only used when other remedies do not work. They are also highly skilled magic users and even those without any genetic inclination can do small feats of magic as it's much more readily available on Erellon. They have extremely advanced space and air crafts and sleep chambers for long distance travel.
