When Gods Come to Play

UNRA



The Republic was divided into three divisions based on territory and economics, with two divisions left unsanctioned by the new government. Travel between divisions is limited to those with the proper identification and passes.

Eadea
The largest division of UNRA, consisting of what was once central America and some of Canada. Eadea is the most unchanged portion of UNRA, with transportation, architecture, technology and lifestyles the most like those from before the Fallout. Citizens here are considered mostly Middle Class. Eadea features the largest amount of land for farming the UNRA has, producing most of the Republic’s food supply.

Auster District
The second largest division of UNRA, consisting of what was once southern America and parts of Mexico. The Auster District features the most decline, and is now home to many of the Republic’s slums and ghettos. Citizens here are considered Lower Class, and most never gain the means to leave this division of UNRA. The Auster District features most of the Republic’s mass manufacturer plants, creating parts of things like transportation and architecture that are shipped to other divisions of the Republic.

Reliquum
The smallest division of UNRA, consisting of what was once eastern America and some of Canada. Reliquum is the most technologically advanced division of the Republic, having been where the Soldiers of the Republic Division’s main headquarters were created. Citizens here are a mixture of Upper Class and military. The majority of the Republic’s doctors, engineers, politicians, etc. are located in Reliquum. SR’s are created and trained here before being exported to other divisions of the Republic.

Unsanctioned Territories
These are areas left unclaimed by UNRA. They feature smaller governments and resistance groups that wished to maintain their separate identities when UNRA was formed. UNRA officials are still in the process of working out treaties and possibly conjoining plans with these territories.

When Gods Come to Play

Religious warfare. Since the earliest records of human civilization, man has been fighting for territory, for power; for beliefs. Differing ideals resulting in starkly contrasting psychological and sociological viewpoints have caused massive destruction for centuries. Sacrifices, hate crimes, ethnic cleansing, genocide; acts of mass violence on the sole basis of higher beliefs have scarred countless regions of the world. Present-day America watched from its golden pedestal as the rest of the world stayed locked in the grips of religious warfare. Canada and Mexico also watched, from the presumed safety net the shadow of one of the world’s “super powers” offered them. They did not have to worry. Why would they? Those types of things only ever happened “over there” after all.

Arrogance and unpreparedness changed North America.

The fighting; the frenzied blood lust spread like a plague. First, there were attacks by other countries on American soil. Then, America started attacking itself. Murder, terrorism, and eventually civil war tore the world so many had known and feared apart, rendering the country a crippled version of its former self; rendering it vulnerable. Other world powers, seeing the first sign of weakness North America had shown in centuries, swooped in like vultures and picked clean the bones of the countries.
The damage left behind took half a century to fix.

Diplomats, politicians, and other power players from the three countries joined together. It was decided that what had happened after the Fallout could never happen again. Thus, the United Republic of North America was formed. The majority of North American territory along with its people and resources were banded together to create a new and very different world. Many things changed. Laws were changed, created, and some done away with completely. There was one, however, that was the most altering: No more religion.

UNRA created strict policies regarding religious practices, and they also created strict departmental officials and soldiers to enforce those policies. Any group wishing to practice public religious freedom of any sort had to be inspected by UNRA officials, meet, and adhere to their guidelines. The guidelines were rarely met, however, and places of religious practice were shut down all over the Republic, and followers were fined and/or imprisoned. To deal with the massive amount of unrest and to prevent another uprising, UNRA council members granted the funding for the SR Division. Ten years later, the Soldiers of the Republic—biogenetically enhanced super soldiers—were posted all over UNRA, enforcing its laws and “keeping the peace.” With every SR comes UNRA’s mantra: Believe in your Republic.
The citizens, however, were not the only ones to become enraged.

The gods, gaining their strength and sustenance from the belief of their followers since the beginning of time, began to grow weak. Belief and worship had all but fizzled out, and their very existence had become threatened. Now, in a last ditch attempt to reclaim the lives of the people they once held so firmly in their hands, the gods have slowly begun to send themselves to the humans. Whom they choose to imbue with their gifts and why is a mystery. Some are willing and loyal, while others who have lived their entire lives believing in nothing but their Republic fear for their freedom and safety should anyone learn what has happened to them. Nothing is known for certain yet, but it seems the gods are building an army, and it seems yet another war is coming.

Note: This RP will require character submission. Following posts will provide more information as to setting and character options.

RP is dying - resuscitation needed!

Hi everyone!

Name's Emily. Em, Emmy, whatever. I just registered to this site but I am soooo NOT new to the RP game. I've been doing this for probably close to 10 years now. I'm a 23 year old female who works, goes to school, has a real life, and who also enjoys creative writing with others (so sue me). I've found that the RP world is sorely lacking as of late. I lurk around rooms and see cliques of people who have never even met in real life yet seem to look down their noses and shun others who are not "keen" to their ways. I lurk around rooms and see one-liners who can't spell or use grammar to save their life but desperately cling to the hopes of their furry anthro getting it on with a complete stranger. Needless to say... I'm not impressed! I am, by no means, an elitist. I have never done anything but freestyle RP-- types and time periods varying. I am in NEED of some real, down to earth people who would be willing to take a chance on me, just as I am on them, with some role play. I'm not on here all the time, and I'll be honest with you, I doubt I'll use this forum a lot. I prefer playing live, via e-mail, chatalot.com, whatever. I like to consider myself a skilled writer, and I have a plethora of characters as well as story lines in my arsenal. I play both male and female characters. My males are all straight, my females vary. SO! If anyone is interested, let me know! Best way to reach me is via e-mail: [e-mail]. I have google hangouts, and I also have skype: emily.elisabeth.derr. Please feel free to message me in any way, and let's talk!

Ciao for now!

Emily
