. . . . . . . . .The year is 2049.
The third world war has finally come to an end. After ten years of nothing other than meaningless deaths and bloodshed, it came to an end. Half of the earth's population has been wiped out. Most of mankind's cities have been long since abandoned. The restoration of everyday life is slow but humankind is steadily progressing. This roleplay takes place in the remains of the city of Chicago. In the post-war chaos, there are a few people that have managed to take advantage of this situation, taking control of everything that's left of civilization. They gained the citizen's trust and created the new government, one of absolute monarchy. The people would soon learn the consequences of their actions.
They started by building 'The Fence''. They said that no one should ever try to run away from the City, and so no one should even dream of getting past the Fence. It was dangerous, that was their excuse. At first the people protested, being kept inside a city against their will and being unable to going out was too harsh, but they eventually accepted it for their safety's sake. The quality of life got better as the years passed. Technology developed so fast that the government decided to take advantage of it, of course putting it to use for the monarch. The moment you were born and the moment you died became a decision for the government officials. By the time you were born everything about your life was decided; whether you will be educated or not, who you are going marry, where you are going to work etc. To make things worse, the government managed to get complete control of people's feelings and emotions by affecting even the air that people breathe.
. . . . . . . . . . . . All hail the Monarch.
The year is now 2072. A group of revolutionaries gathered - fed up with the government and began organizing an attack against the Monarch. However, their efforts were all fruitless and hence they were all captured. As a penalty, all of them were forced to become test subjects to an intense experiment. One would normally expect that all of them were going to die, after all, the only ones who had been able to survive those experiments previously were the Monarch's personal elite assassins - since all of them were born inside a test tube--literally. They were designed to have perfect genes and as a result carry the weight of having supernatural abilities to be used in service of the Monarchy. The chances of the revolutionaries surviving were slim to nothing.
And yet, they were wrong. Only five of the revolutionaries managed to endure the intense experiments and as a side-effect of the tests, they were granted powers similar to the Monarch's own assassins. The Monarch decided that the surviving revolutionaries had to be executed. After finding out about the Monarch's plans, the survivors escaped with all their powers combined and headed outside 'the Fence', only to realize that the government had built a second Fence not too far away from the first one, in order to to prevent people who managed to get past the first one from escaping. Not only were all of the hopes of escaping gone, but the Monarch made the decision to send his assassins to eliminate the escapees. And so a game of hide and seek for survival began.
Survival for the revolutionaries is tough, they have to depend on areas with water nearby and kill wild animals, plus they only have a handful of first aid kits and weapons stolen from the laboratory. On the other side, the government is supplying the assassins with whatever they need - food, water, weapons and so on.
Who are you? With whose side are you with? And most importantly...what are you capable of?
