In 2007, the bombs fell and brought the world to its proverbial knees. Nations fell and the populace plummeted. 400 years later, civilization has stabilized in certain areas of the world. Large mega-cities dot the mostly barren landscape without fear of resources and danger, while small settlements struggle to find the will to keep going. Twisted and bizarre creatures known as "Thrull" roam the lands in immeasurable numbers, terrorizing humanities remains. Disgusting monsters of flesh and bone, they consume anything with a pulse. With darkness however, there is light. 100 years after the war, humans begin displaying special abilities that allowed them to summon suits of armor, known as a "Guardias" and use powers that were unheard of. Due to their appearance, they came to be known as "Knights." With limitless potential and the Knights on their side, humanity aims to restore the planet to it's glory.

This idea is a spin off of a novel I've been working on for a few years. I've put a lot of time into world building it and would love to share and add more characters and stories to it. I can go into more detail, just ask if you have any questions.

@FerriteFox I'm interested, but I would like to know more about the specs of the Armor Suits, and what their form, or forms, could be, as well as what forms the "unheard of powers" can take, and how strong they can be.

They are full body suits that the user can summon at will (think a Power Ranger of Kamen Rider). They're sturdy and can take a lot of beatings, but larger wounds and damages do take time to "heal". They're more extensions of the people who manifest them. You can be pretty creative with them. The idea behind them is that humanity "evolved" to begin restoring the Earth. Powers don't have to directly relate to that, but they can be pretty groundbreaking. The largest city government is helmed by the three most powerful Knights known, the Core Knights. I guess their abilities would be the cap of power so far. While they can seem OP on paper, rarely do they actually use their full potential, as they're more Politicians and command the rest of the Knights for pretty much everything else. There is a secret reason they are able to reach such a high potential, but it is also the reason they have stayed in power for so many years.

The Core Knights are as follows:

The Black Knight: Ability to create lava in vast quantities and temperatures.

The White Knight: Ability to bring almost "Absolute Zero" temperature to objects.

The Golden Knight: Ability to manifest mass thunderstorms and lightning.

Abilities and powers can also reach the more mechanical sides of things. Knights can just gain adept skills with weapons or gear, instead of more "magical" type powers. For instance the character I was going to play has the ability to disconnect every joint from his body in segments and control them via telekinesis.

I'd be down for this.

@FerriteFox Ok, in that case, 100% in. Also, just to clear something up, what size are the suits?

@tal0n Human sized body suits, probably just a little bit taller than your character normally would be.

@FerriteFox Alright, perfect. Thanks!

Went ahead and made an OOC for those interested, feel free to ask any questions about the world, I'm sure I can answer them.
