The bow and the gun. Both technological marvels when they were first introduced, with the sole purpose of killing the poor fool on the other side. Of course, one was designed centuries after the other, but they still shared the same role.
When the Relative Interdimensional Field Transit Faster-Than-Light Drive, or RIFT, was invented in the late 23rd century to solve the old limit of sublight travel, humanity spread to the stars like the ancient empires on Earth, rapidly colonising hundreds upon thousands of planets. Every year, dozens of colony ships would travel to newly-discovered potential colony worlds, and being the slow process of landing, possibly terraforming, and finally settling on it. These operations were all controlled and overseen by the United Earth Government, birthed from the crumbling remains of the old United Nations. Nothing could be done without their permission, but all in all, the colonies and Earth itself were okay places to live.
It is now the year 2841. Project RIFTGATE is initiated to further study the interdimensional properties of the RIFT drives, to see if there were any other alternate realities on the other side. Drawn up and headed by some of the best minds in the UEG, the project took months to finish, and when it was done, the first successful Alternate Reality RIFT Portal was opened, and plans for a research team to enter were made.
However, some top military personnel were not happy with the portal just being used for research purposes, and so, decided to send the first Marine detachment into the portal, with numerous men and machines, and the research team, of course. When they went through, they entered a vast and beautiful landscape only matched by a select few colony worlds like Stanza and Panorama. It was something people yearned for, and it was heaven to many.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the portal, reports of magical portals appearing and metal creatures walking out of it have reached the Kingdom of Acadoria, a peaceful kingdom that has fallen on some rather hard times. Its leader, Princess Camilla Amethyst, has decided to launch an investigation.
Of course, none of these parties knew that they were going to run into each other.
The Bow and the Gun is loosely based on the Gate series of anime and manga. It is mostly set in your average fantasy world i.e. magic, elves, swords and stuff, and features soldiers and researchers from a futuristic setting exploring the world. Magic exists, and can only be used by the residents of the fantasy world. You can be anyone you want on the fantasy side, although I'm still debating whether or not to get some people on the Sci-Fi side. You can create your own kingdoms, races, everything. This RP will mostly focus on character interaction and culture shock.
