Thank you for reading the above post. I realize that, without context, it doesn't make much sense at all. Well, let me shed some light on that.
The year is 2089, and our role-play takes place thirty years after a mysterious mutation claimed almost all sentient life on Earth. They were transformed into mutated, somewhat intelligent twisted beings that preyed on, mutilated, killed and ate all living things they could find, making life on the surface almost impossible. The few remaining members of mankind took sanctuary aboard three civilian ships in low orbit around the planet: Rebirth, Awakening and Slumber. Their, for the past thirty years, the few thousand remaining members of mankind have tried to live as normal lives as they can.
And that's where our characters come in. Our characters will be apart of the few remaining whom volunteer to return to the surface to try and reclaim it as best they can. Unofficially named 'Ground-Siders' by the civilians, they're pretty much the only military force left, consisting of volunteers from all walks of life. Brutally trained, fitted with the finest technology (See: Kinesis-Suit and Nano-Blade), they're the finest mankind has left to offer. Rarely does any particular 'Ground-Sider' survive more than a few trips to the surface. Those who do, become legends. Those who don't, become memories.
'Ground-Siders' are fitted with the last piece of technology mankind created for its downfall: the infamous Kinesis-Suit, complemented by the equally notorious Nano-Blade. Firstly, the Kinesis-Suit is a thin, lightweight suit consisting of nano-technology, protecting the wearer from a great deal of kinetic force and ballistic projectiles, whilst also enhancing them physically. Capable of firing short bursts of electro-magnetic energy from their palms (Warning: May Exceed Power Capacity. Use with caution.), the suits were designed for long-term use against overwhelming odds. Secondly, we have the Nano-Blade. The primary weapon of all Ground-Siders, the Nano-Blade is made from a thin Nano-Alloy that makes them damn-near indestructible. Its design fits its user, and rigorous training is required to skillfully wield one.
Our characters will be apart of a new batch of dwindling recruits. None of us have ever been to the surface, having been born and raised aboard the three Vessels, which will act as a sort of Hub for the role-play. Ground-Siders have permission to visit the surface at their own discretion, so long as it is to benefit mankind. There is a still a great deal to add, as I'm somewhat rushed for time writing this, but this is just a general outline.
So, any questions? Interested?
