(Note: This will be a 20 "episode" RP. This is also tied in with my Mech Oververse RP I'm working on, though has no bearing on it currently.)
Long ago, the Cataclysm struck the earth and was thrown into a state of Perpetual Winter. The population had been dropped to 25%, those left seeking shelter in the seven Superdome cities which had managed to survive the blast, and could artificially sustain itself. Many believed the Cataclysm to be divine retribution from the heavens. Others saw it as nothing but a cosmic coincidence. The Government of the 7 Domes banned technology past the early 21st century, and exiled any that attempted to revive the taboo technology. Years passed, and eventually tensions arose between the 7 domes. They began to fight, as they all drew power from the same generator at the bottom of the sea, and the larger domes wanted more drain than the smaller ones.
War soon broke out, and most outdated weaponry having rusted and broke throughout the years causing the fights to be a little more personal. That is, until a small unit of exiles brought forward a new weapon. One that had been buried under mounds with strange patterns. These Nazukarain as they were called, were bio organic mechs, capable of withstanding hundreds of soldiers, and even taking some of the old munitions from the 21st century. The domes quickly took to hiring the exiles to bring them groups of these weapons to them for various things. Supplies, food, citizenship.
The Nazukarain brought a new form of combat to the plate, and engineers soon had to double as nurses for these giants. The fighting continued for many years, the Nazukarain continuing to be produced from these strange mounds, but the Domes were soon sitting at a Cold War of sorts. Soldiers patrolled their borders, the land, though eroded and frost bitten, still was their own. However, another party has begun moving to begin war once more, and if they are successful, it could mean the end of the Domes.
Terminology:
Dome Cities: The 7 Dome Cities are similar to each other, but also different in large ways. Outside of the Domes, small exile settlements can be found, which after NKs became a popular weapon, began to look like Towns built into Junk Yards.
Roland, the Holy Capital City, is also known as the biggest city. Roland was the first to jump upon a taboo of technology, but also the first to fight when areas of the city began to have small black outs. They have the largest army of Nazukarain, under the control of their leader, Pope Alejandro III.
Tsukisaka, is the smallest city. It has a heavy population, as well as a large number of Nazukarain. It is known for being one of the most peaceful of the Dome Cities, despite the large Army.
Siberus, the most prosperous of the 7 Domes. It is of a decent size, a medium population, and a large amount of supplies. They are also the most tactful in combat.
Ausch, A Large Militaristic Dome, though despite its large size, it has the smallest population. Because of this, the Dome often has what small number of Nazukarains it has take the old buildings and pieces and put them up for defenses outside the dome, as well as for practice.
York, A middle sized middle populated dome. While much of the Dome is concerned with the next leader, as well as up-coming battles against other domes, the youth (a majority) of the Dome are more interested in making friends amongst the domes through the Online Games that the Domes share.
Genosha, A small dome with an underground sector for its medium sized population. It also has a collection of the “Rarest” Nazukarin.
Amitch, a large agricultural dome. Most that come from here are farmers, but a required registry for the Dome Army is held so all men over 16 must sign up for NK training.
Nazukarin:
Also shortened as NK. These bioorganic Mechs were found in mounds that mysteriously began appearing in the hillsides. These Mounds are surrounded by lines, which dictate what kind of NK is within the Mound. Currently, the only known NK are Bird, Fish, Spider, Ant, Man, Lizard, Monkey, Tree, Beast, and Mound. The rarest of these are the Man, which seem to have the ability to alter the weather around it when active, the Tree, a mobile fortress capable of holding up to 20 average NK, and The Mound, a mobile weapons platform. These Mechs are controlled by a neural interface within the cockpit, where the pilot’s arms and legs are stuck into the sockets, and move as they do. Most NK stand at 5-10 Meters tall. They are normally equipped with a machine gun, rifle, or shot gun, and a knife, baton, or shield. However, Man types come equipped with personalized equipment like a gunblade, dagger bombs, or a katana.
Online Game:
A small MMO that everyone in the domes knows of and can play with the right equipment. It is a simulator game that was modified to use casual types of Nazukarin.
