This idea has been running around my head for the longest time. I have been editing and refining the idea for about a week now. I am throwing down the back-story on this interest check to see who might be willing to join something like this. This is RP was inspired by the Shin Megami Tensei series, but I'm sure you'll find that it's probably not what you'll expect if you know the series.
I will continue to add more information as I finish it and am open to all questions.
Expect information about: Errors or commonly referred to as "demons", class options, and where we fit in, in this story
Well... Enough rambling, here it is. Enjoy :)

█▌ Back-Story
█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
No one scientist is ever completely satisfied with the newest finds. There always has to be something more, a greater discovery that unravels more of the mystery. Arguably one of the most dangerous double-edged swords is the discovery of data. You may be thinking "What the hell are you talking about? Data has been around for ages. It can be found in all of our technology". while this may be true, scientist have broken every cell and every molecule to the smallest form possible. Data. Everything is essentially made up of data. This has sparked the creation of the new world, one where things like trees are artificially created.
When you watch boot-legged movies, some are good quality and others too horrible to watch. Though none of them will ever be as good as watching the real thing at the movie theater or on DVD. This could very well explain artificially created data. We do not own all the keys or know all the secrets of the world. You can place a million artificially created trees, but not one will be as good as the one that had grown naturally on this planet. As mentioned earlier, scientists strive to create -or discover- the next biggest and greatest thing. Naturally one would want to get as close as possible to the real thing with their creations. Some big-wig scientist(s) out there overlooked the fact that because we have a more in-depth knowing of what everything is made up of does not mean that we can dismiss all of our problems. New problems will arise.
An unnamed group of scientists who believed they could sit on the throne and assume the role of a higher entity thought they could create their own God. Said "God" would be tasked with creating the "perfect artificial data" and hopefully help change the world, with the far-fetched idea of bringing peace among all humanity. For years, heads butted and hopes and dreams increasingly became shattered. What the scientists deemed failed experiments were discarded. Twenty-five long years passed since, what little remained of the scientists, finally created what their perfect AI-God.
The Ai-God was created in hopes of perfecting what we as humans could not. Though artificial intelligence completes its task to the best of its abilities, at whatever cost. The only way this fake God sees peace and perfection is through the extinction of the human race and the creation of a new one. The AI would slowly, so it does not cause sudden world-wide panic, began to corrupt the data of our sun. This would be the easiest way to attempt extinction of our race, since at one point or another we will all be under the sun. Before long, the sun finally turned black from the corrupt data. With the corrupt data shining down upon us from the suns rays, our own data began to change. Humans turned to stone when exposed to the black sun. This has unofficially earned, but commonly heard, title "The Medusa Effect". Those who could sought shelter where they could that would conceal them from the sun. With time, some "safe havens" managed to be built.
