In the year 2045, mankind faced its greatest threat yet. A creature from another world, another dimension, one that became lost in space and time. Having landed on Earth, in our plane of reality, the massive creature displayed hostility against mankind and so caused destruction and chaos wherever it went. At that time, humanity was well adept in the use of technology, and so relied on their mechanisms to defeat the otherworldly creature. Unfortunately it proved to be insufficient in killing what would become known as the Great Beast.

And so began the Forever War, a conflict that many predicted would only end with the extinction of the human race. But hope was still present in the hearts of man, and soon their prayers were answered by the divine. On May 7th, 2049, a young girl named Sachiro Harime was visited by an almighty and unseen force.

This force referred to itself simply as The Dyteniteity. A being that created all realities and all worlds, including this one. This omnipotent presence saw sympathy within the human race, as even the Great Beast was naught but a child stemming from The Dyteniteity. And so the gift of Unity was trusted to Sachiro. The elaborate combination of both science and the arts, to utilize and craft with magic and technology side by side into transcending force.

Using this pure blessing, Sachiro paved the way for mankind's victory and defeated the Great Beast. Rejoicing at last, the Forever War had rightfully closed to an end.

50 years later.

It is now the year 2099. After the events of the Forever War, mankind united as a single race and a world wide government known as the Ultimatum was established. A young girl at its birth, the late Sachiro Harime was now a woman of prime youth who rules over the Ultimatum with the granted title of "The Superior." Under her rule are her four knights and generals of Ragnorak, loyal ones that directly serve and carry out her will: Yggdrasil, Asgard, Midgard, and Nifilhiem.

The Ultimatum holds simple goals: to protect the civilizations of humanity as well as store any and all information regarding the human race: the world's largest library. The gift of Unity has been shared with all humans, and are now mass produced through devices called Tomes. Literal manifestations of the blend between magic and technology, Tomes allow the user to summon forth the inner confines of one's soul and materialize it into solid shape. From weapons and tools, to just being a literary safekeep, each Tome is specific to each person's soul.

And so, peace reigns supreme in this bountiful and beautiful world built on Unity.

Or...so it seems.

A terrorist calling themselves "The Librarian" is reeking mayhem and disrupting the peace, all in the name of "liberation". Petty riot groups have been put down before, but this being has eluded the Ultimatum for months now, claiming that the world's protectors are nothing more but oppressing frauds.

As the fires of a rebellion begin to ignite, you find yourself caught in the midst in all this ongoing chaos. Will you fight for the order of Ultimatum? Or do you choose to rebel for "freedom"?

The fate of the world and all Unity lies in your choices.

I'm interested. How do you plan on implementing some of the paradoxes of magic into the solidarity of science? Or are they going to coexist without issues?

They will coexist without issue here. I'll post up the needed roles as well as more gameplay mechanics tomorrow. Also, I'm not sure whether I should have a Co-GM or not. Still deciding.

What are Tomes anyway?:
Tomes are devices manufactured and distributed by the Ultimatum on a global level. Their purpose is to simply assist in the control of Unity potential lying dormant in each and every person. Hence forth, they summon the true essence of one's soul and gives it physical form to utilize. Tomes take the initial form of books with blank pages. Depending on the person's soul, a Tome may manifest into a variety of things. From a weapon to a pencil, Tomes choose the one object that most represents that person's soul and proceeds to take that form. Each person is different, and so each Tome has a colored surface unique to each individual.

So where do I get a Tome anyway?:
Artificial and training Tomes are provided by various different Ultimatum hosted Academies around the world. Genuine Tomes can be purchased on the market, all coming in a standard format. The Tome will morph to its user's preference when activated for the first time.

Wait, academies? There's school?:
The Ultimatum seeks to encourage and educate the youth of today by hosting academies that are presenter around the world. Basic schooling as a well as occupation training are provided until students graduate and either join specific ranks of the Ultimatum or simply go into the workforce. Three years are needed for a student to graduate, and a colored emblem is assigned for each year: Blue for first years, Yellow for second years, and finally Red for third years. After graduation, a student is selected to different branches of the Ulimatum of they exude exceptional ability.

So what are the three branches?:
Technically there are four branches of the Ultimatum, each headed and directed by The Superior. Each branch is also personally commanded by the Four Knights of Ragnorak. The branches are as follows: Intelligence Division, Military Division, Judicial Division, and Observer Division.

Knights of Ragnorak?:
Yggdrasil: The Platinum Knight. Leader of the Four Knights as well as the one with the most direct contact with The Superior. Leads the Observer Division. Those in this division have the sole task of personally safe guarding The Superior's life as well as directing the activities of the other three Divisions.

Asgard: The Crimson Knight. Leader of the Judicial Division and assistant to Yggdrasil. Those in the Judicial Division are the most associated with the law and maintaining stability in the world. They are judge, jury, and executioner, doing so for not only the world but also the other three Divisions as well.

Midgard: The Golden Knight. Leader of the Military Division. This Division is solely responsible for enforcing order on a local and global level. They are usaually the ones to end skirmishes as well as flush out potential riots and terrorists. Although it hasn't been called upon, this is the Division that declares war and begins any campaign.

Nifilhiem: The Cerulean Knight. Leader of the Intelligence Division. This Division keeps all of the world's history and records at hand and secured, making them true librarians and scribes. Categorizing all of mankind's past, present, and possible future, they are the historians and predictors of the Ultimatum.
