To the people that know Vergil know that he can be a reliable person that often times goes by the book. Hates loopholes and is an organized person. Especially when it comes to paperwork and knows how to follow a paper trail. While he does love his family, talking about them tends to be a sore spot for him. Hates alcoholics since it was one that caused the car accident that killed his father. Only sometimes does he drink, and even then is still careful not to get drunk. Despite years of being an accountant working for the IRS. Vergil is surprisingly well in his time with the NSPD. Able to notice details others would miss and knows how to follow a paper trail. Also has more street smarts than someone that used to be an accountant would have. Still, he is one about the rules and rarely breaks the rules. Either federal or personal, and has a certain hate for gangs. Though he never really says why and it was personal. Which talking about his family is something that he mainly shares with close friends and does not like talking about. When he does, it is mainly about his mother or father. Still, he tries his best to navigate what the world has become and make it out with his morals intact.
D A Y S - G O N E Vergil had a set of extremes growing up. He had a good family atmosphere even though they were poor and lived in a bad neighborhood. For a time, it was good but tough, and the family avoided trouble. Then his father was killed in a car accident, and to survive. Vergil's mother had to on two jobs and was rarely home. So Vergil and his younger brother Trevor were forced to care for themselves and look out for each other.
While Vergil tried to look out for Trevor and keep him out of trouble. He ultimately failed in that regard, and Trevor ended up joining a gang. Which caused tensions to rise in the family, and Trevor started to give some of the money he got from the gang to support the family as an afterthought. Vergil tried his best to get Trevor out of the gang and would only drive him away. More so when Trevor became jealous of Vergil since he was their mother's favorite because she thought that Vergil had a future because of his keen mind and Trevor would just become another criminal. This caused a major split in the family, and one day, Trevor stopped coming home.
Losing Trevor was hard on Vergil and his mother, but they pushed on, and Vergil eventually, by a scholarship, went to college. Vergil decided on a safe and quiet profession and with his skill with math and organizing. He went on to become an accountant after getting his degree. Would be hired by the IRS, and it would be sometime later that he found out that his brother was arrested and put into prison.
For years Vergil spent like this in a boring but safe job and started to have second thoughts about his choice in life but tried not to think about it. Then the fall changed all of that. Suddenly he was out of the job and after living a life as an accountant. He did not know where to turn and once he heard that the NSPD was recruiting people and ended up joining to give his life some meaning. There he worked as a cop for some years before the NSPD started to set up a group to hunt down the πΌπππππ π²πππ πΊπππππ. He jumped at the chance to do more good work and applied to join the group and take down the killer, and end their reign of terror.

Though would it be better if the wastewater was recycled into usable water so the colony does not have to import large amounts of water alot? I mean the water has to come from somewhere and newts can't cover that.
It has been one hundred years since the humans won their freedom from the vile Vanvin. A hostile race that appeared at humanity's doorstep five hundred years ago during humanity's golden age. By using magic, a power unknown to humanity and twisted war beasts. They conquered humanity and enslaved them.
For four hundred years, humanity was subject to the Vanvin's wishes. Being treated as slaves and used in their experiments. From this, the Vanvin created monsters such as vampires, werewolves, and countless other monstrosities. They use these creations to augment their forces by using their magic to control their new creations. For centuries, this went on, and while there were revolts by the humans to regain their freedom. They would largely fail and be suppressed.
Then, one day, they appeared, the two immortals. No one knows where they came from or how they gained their immortality. But, when they showed up, they were set on freeing humanity from the Vanvin. It took years of subterfuge and cunning. But, when the immortals were ready, they launched the largest rebellion in history, and one major factor that the immortals used that surprised the Vanvins was that somehow, not only were the immortals capable of using magic. But found a way to gift it to humans. Using their newfound power and with the immortals disrupting their control over their creations.
It took two years for humanity to regain their freedom from the Vanvin, and by the time it was over. Most of the Vanvin were killed, and the ones that remained fled into the wilds. The Vanvins' creations were now themselves free from Vanvin's control and before they could be killed by the humans. They, too, fled into the wilds, where they now reside.
Finally, being free once again, the first thing that humanity did was elect the immortals as their rulers in their role in freeing humanity from the Vanvin. But, they declined this, saying that humanity should rule themselves, not them. The immortals would instead choose to establish an order meant for two things. Hunting the monsters that now live in the world and safeguarding humanity for if the Vanvins return. The Vigil it was called, and many chose to join it.
Now, a century later, the Vigil is still going strong and so far. There has been no sign of the Vanvin but their creations still remain at large and plaguing humanity. But unknown to the humans, a new threat is on the horizon that if it is not dealt with. This could lead to humanity once again being enslaved once again or worse.

Overview
Hello and welcome to the rp. So in this rp
Magic
The Continent
In the past, the humans of Aetruin had lived alone on the continent. It was divided into many kingdoms before being united through both diplomacy and war by the Telan Empire. But united humans would start to advance ahead and usher in a golden age.
Vanvin
The Vanvin are a hostile magic using race from place unknown to humans.
The year is 2070, and the world has changed much early twenty-first century. From the aftermath of World War 3 that erupted in 2031 between the United States, EU, versus Russia, and China. Lasting for five years before it ended in a bloody stalemate. With both sides agreeing to end the war, and given how the war ended. No one was sure if the peace would last long, and the world had to see if the world had learned from its mistakes after World War 3.
While the world worked to rebuild, advancements in technology made during the war helped to both rebuild and make the lives of people better. It also allowed for groups such as corporations to gain in power. Instead of openly displaying their newfound power. They are set on working behind the scenes and waging a shadow conflict with other corporations for power and influence. While keeping their public appearances intact and becoming more prominent in the lives of people.
Meanwhile, the space race was reignited when the United States established the first lunar colony of New Armstrong in 2040. Other nations seeking the glory and resources of the moon and mars. Nations launched their own spaceships and established their own colonies on the moon. Now the attention is set on Mars, and by 2070, there are several colonies which the largest is the Chinese colony of New Shanghai.
But, on earth, tensions still linger between the west and the east in the aftermath of world war 3. Much of the problems that started the conflict have yet to be resolved after 39 years of peace. Some fear that a fourth world war is on the horizon. While other minor conflicts erupted on the planet, and some see them as proxy wars between the two groups.
But alas, this story is not about those on earth or mars no. This is the story about the moon and those that have found themselves trapped in the lunar colony of Solyra. Not trapped in the conventional sense but are still trapped in the lunar city. For a group of people have unknowingly messed with an unknown but powerful group that, while they would normally kill these individuals. They have found these problem individuals to be potentially useful to them and have spared them for now. So instead of death, this group has secretly manipulated these people into moving to the moon colony. There individuals now find themselves working for a contact named Outcast, who is unknown to them is apart of the unknown group and uses them to advance the unknown group's goals in the colony.
Now, these individuals are unknowingly trapped on Solyra and working for the unknown group. They will have to work together and slowly figure out that they can not leave the colony. Eventually, learning that they are being used and rebel against the unknown group to regain their freedom and stop whatever is their plans for Solyra. If they can, and it will be up to fate whenever they can survive the crime-ridden colony and whatever this unknown group throws at them.
Overview
So this is my idea for a cyberpunk rp. Centered around a group that unknowingly crossed with a powerful but unknown group and being seen as useful. Now are secretly manipulated into moving to the moon colony of Solyra and now unknowingly work for them as they further their goals on the moon. While down the line discovering the truth and rebel to free themselves from the unknown group's clasp and stop their plans on Solyra. If anyone has any questions, then just ask.
Far ago in the distant past, in a forgotten age. The Earth was then known as Alrara in this age. It was one of magic and gods. A planet where elves, dwarfs, and other non-human beings thrived alongside humanity, and magic was alive and plentiful. An era of peace was going strong, and the gods. The divines of the mightily Varian Pantheon were highly respected and revered. Having guided the people of the world towards peace and prosperity.
Then came one day, the Varmari, outer-worldly beings that invaded and tried to conquer Alrana. Coming together as one, the gods went out and battled with the Varmari. After a long and strenuous battle. The gods were able to defeat the Varmari and sent them back into space where they came from. The people celebrated as the gods were victorious. However, the gods were exhausted after the invasion and chose to slumber in order to recover. Expecting it to be a relatively short slumber, the gods went fell asleep in a place known as the Bastion, and the people waited for when the gods would return.
However, while the gods slept, an unknown group of humans using forbidden magic took advantage of the sleeping gods. They managed to locate and access the Bastion and did the unthinkable. This group siphoned off most of the gods' power and took it as their own. Becoming gods in their own right and had an increased lifespan to boot. Seeing how they managed to become gods, the group did one last thing before they set out into the world. They placed a spell on the sleeping gods that ensure that they would never wake up. Satisfied at this, the group left Bastion and went out to rule the world.
Time would pass, and these new gods would die, and their godly power was open for anyone with the knowledge to take it. Eventually, another group would take the godly power as their own, and a cycle of "mortal" gods began. When a group of gods dies, another group seemly takes its place. The gods of old, the Greeks, Norse, Indian and other pantheons, were those that took the godly power over the centuries. In a seemly endless cycle that was broken when the Godless came to be.
The Godless was a group of people that had suffered under the reign of the most recent group of mortal gods. Seeing how the gods had abused their powers and used humans as pawns for their conflicts. This group, instead of taking the godly power for themselves when the gods died. They chose to contain it and lock the godly power away, far from prying eyes. Wishing an end to the cycle of gods and would call themselves the Godless, for that is what they wished the world to be. So the Gods' power was locked away in vaults around the world. Enuring the end of the mortal gods and the world went on unknowing of the truth.
But, what happened to the world of Alrara, you might ask. Well, during the early reign of the mortal gods. There was a cataclysm caused by the infighting with a group of mortal gods. Causing devastation across the world, and the magic started to slowly fade. Humanity suffered the worst and then a plague of unknown origin appeared. Killing millions of humans and humanity thinking that the non-humans were to blame for the plague and trying to finish off humanity. Went on a series of wars with non-humans, and in the end, the non-humans were forced to create magically hidden sanctuaries to hide from the humans. Now safe and hidden from the humans' eyes. The humans were satisfied with this and started to rebuild, and magic would drop to near dead levels before stabilizing. More cataclysms would follow caused by gods and nature, and humanity started to forget about their past, and the truth started to become legends and myth to the point that the old world of Alrara was forgotten and only a few tablets about this lost age remained when the world reached the modern times. The non-humans still safe in their sanctuaries and would send out spies to keep an eye on the humans and none were the wiser about the truth.
In 2024 that by sheer luck that a man named Kyle Khan discovered an ancient tablet that listed the spell needed to steal a god's power and where the Bastion was. Seeing an opportunity to have real power, he took the chance he was given. Traveling to the Bastion and tried to steal what was left of the gods' power. However, Kyle would botch the spell and instead broke the spell that was keeping the gods asleep. Causing them to finally wake up and quickly felt unusually weak. Confused about why this is and spotted the lonely human. The now frighten Kyle was questioned by the gods and they realized that not only that the world they knew was gone. That their powers were stolen from them.
Furious about this, the gods went out to explore and learn about his new world and would convene a month after waking up at the

Overview
Hello and welcome to my take on the god rp and my first rp on this site. So since you will be playing as custom gods. What their domain is, and what powers they have is up to you. As long as it makes sense for them to have them and nothing op. Since these are mostly depowered gods after all. Along with details of the old age of Alrana.

Overview
Hello, and welcome to the rp. In this rp the year is 2070, and you will be playing a char that has unknowingly crossed an unknown but powerful group and have been secretly manipulated to move to the lunar city of Solyra. Where they are unknowingly stuck there and working for the unknown group by the contact Outcast. There they have to survive in the crime-ridden colony and what tasks this unknown group has for them. Meanwhile, realizing they are trapped in Solyra and eventually rebel to get their freedom back and stop the unknown group's plans.
In which case, you are free to think about how your char somehow messed with the unknown group. Just remember that your char is alive because they have skills that make them useful. So keep that in mind when making your char. Along with adding to the lore just as long as it does not contradict what I have already.
Technology:
As for what technology is allowed in the rp I am going to be somewhat lenient with what is going to be allowed, like what you can find in the game Cyberpunk 2077. Anything else just asks me about it, as it is not overpowered or too advanced for the setting. Also, what is not allowed is no A.I.s or bioaugments, as in cat ears, tails, that sort of thing. Laser weapons and exo suits are a thing in the setting but are rare outside of the military so it is unlikely your char gets either off the bat.
Solyra
Founded in 2043 by the European Space Agency and is located in the Aryabhatus Crater. Originally founded as a research colony and as a staging point to eventually launch missions to mars. But, as the years passed, the colony grew well past its original purpose and was converted into a general colony, and the research was moved to another site. The first wave of colonists was from throughout the European Union, but the biggest groups were the and the French. But, while the colony grew and grew prosperously for up to 2055 when a series of terrorist attacks rocked the station. Causing major damage to the infrastructure of the colony. And in the aftermath, and while the colony was starting to rebuild itself. The lowly crime gangs, new and old, took advantage of the situation and expanded their territory and power in the colony. Plunging the once-fair colony into turmoil as criminals started gaining in influence and power. And the corporations that had established themselves in the colony did not care about the growing crime problem and only used the opportunity to increase their own power and holdings in the colony. By 2070, Solyra has crime riddled in most parts of the colony and with no end in sight.
Major Corporations:
A Swedish arms corporation based in Stockholm. Mjolnir was founded sometime before World War 3 and was an up-and-coming firearms manufacturer that, by "luck" managed to secure a contract to make firearms for the Swedish military. Which due to World War 3, the corp soon became rich during the war. After the war, the corp expanded throughout Scandinavia and later Europe. With having one branch on the moon in Solyra colony. There are rumors that the corp secretly sells weapons to the gangs but, Mjolnir Corp fervorly denied such claims.
A Korean Technologies corporation based out of Seoul. Founded before WW3 and specialized in making drones. Originally making civilian drones, the war, however, under pressure from the South Korean government, the corp started making military drones. Earning a nice sum for the corp and it realized it would make more money making military drones than civilian ones. So after the war, the corp expanded its products to include both civilian and military drones and became a popular brand in Asia. Eventually, forming a branch on Solrya where the corp sells its drones to the local security force and police forces.
A Colombian pharmaceutical corporation based in BogotΓ‘. Founded in the aftermath of WW3, Green Heart Pharmaceuticals initial goal was the replace the failing Venta Corporation that used to be powerful drug company but after scandal after scandal. It had become a shell of itself and was finally forced into bankruptcy after GHP brought up its contacts. Now with little compaction in South America. GHP expanded throughout South America. Soon establish a branch in Solyra, and while it does supply the colony's med centers with quality drugs. They secretly sell a drug called the Crimson Blitz that is both additive and popular among the junkies of the colony.
Major Gangs:
A old gang in Solrya. From their beginnings as a minor street gang, it was not until a man by the name of Howard Landcaster took control of the gang by killing its previous leader and under his leadership. The Lunar Wolves started to grow in power and territory. Either by killings rival gangs or by absorbing minor ones. But their big break was the terrorist attacks of the late 2055s. With the colony recovering, Howard seeing the opportunity, ruthlessly expanded the Luna Wolves to the most powerful gang in the colony.
