The year, is 2022. Mankind has made leaps and bounds in the areas of technology and medicine, and most countries have experienced a period of great wealth. But all good things must come to an end. The Emperors Entente, an alliance between Russia, China, and North Korea, all countries which had found themselves under dictatorial rule, is formed, and together, they begin to encroach on the borders of other sovereign nations, taking land. Other countries couldn't sit back and watch this happened. And so came the formation of the Paladin Coalition, led by the US, the UK, Australia, France, and Germany, the Coalition fought valiantly against the imperialistic mindset of their enemies.
But valiance does not win a war, and the Paladins would learn that. By the beginning 2024, they were losing, and the situation looked bleak. Citizens were calling for the usage of nuclear weapons, but as a last resort, the Sentinels were formed. The Sentinel Program, a group of gifted individuals from all walks of life who were called to the most dangerous tasks, the most brutal missions. They were a special ops team who saw the most success of any unit during the war. They became celebrities, heroes. And without them, the war would have been lost. By 2026, the Paladins had managed to turn the war in their favor, thanks to the Sentinels, and by November of that year, the Emeperors Entente had surrendered. The war was won, and democracies were instated in the countries that had made up the Entente.
Without any need for the Sentinels, the group was disbanded, sent on their way. While they were heralded as heroes, featured in museums and documentaries, they were discarded, and soon the public lost interest. Many found work as mercenaries or assassins, and some retired peacefully. The world had no need of heroes anymore.
The end of the war brought a time of peace and prosperity. Technology once again began to flourish, and the creation of sentient machinery, Mechs, was a huge step forward. Mechs became common members of society, working and socializing with humans like never before, although this brought along it's own social problems. But past the surface, darkness still lurked.
In the defeated countries, people wanted revenge. Many of the citizens of the Emperor's Entente had supported the war, and now they were living in relative squalor. They wanted revenge, to see their people on top of the world, rather than taking the scraps from everyone else. These sentiments bred extremism in each of the defeated countries, and terrorist groups arose, groups who each wanted to put their country's people on top. Which brings us to the present.
The year is now 2039, thirteen years since the end of the war. The aforementioned terrorist groups have gained quite the foothold in the world, and their activities make the evening news nearly every day. The big three of these groups, the Shadow Cabal, the Talons, and the United Brothers, have been meeting, discussing the formation of one large group, made out of their smaller ones. Recently, an attack was made on the British royal family by the Talons, and the British government is calling for action. The world needs heroes. And so the world is going to get some. The UN has decided to reenact the Sentinel Program, calling in people from all across the globe to become part of it. From former Sentinels to former criminals, they are in desperate of aid in the fight against those who would see the world plunged into chaos. The Sentinels have been called to arms.
OOC Info
So, like the title says, this is an RP that's based pretty heavily off of Overwatch. I'm looking for at least four or five people before I make an OOC, but yeah. If you're interested or have any questions just leave a post down below :)
