[LET ME SPIN YOU A TALE]
It's the year 3700. Around 900 years before this time, the world was shaken to its core by a massive explosion, the cause of which is still unknown, and plunged into centuries of nuclear winter. This incident was known as "Solstice".
The snow fell heavily and fast, burying the world as we knew it up to the tops of skyscrapers. Eventually, the precipitation stopped long enough for the world to breathe, and recuperate. Rescue teams found and began to round up survivors; those that were able to take care of themselves salvaged what little they could from the ice. But the memories? Lost. Our societal norms, all that we humans have gained?
Lost to the ice.
A few more centuries down the road, the nuclear dust-clouds began to shift, bringing back a hope for us. Our new society lies above the ice - a civilisation governed by the unanimous desire for peace and equality. Though the newly-rebuilt "Earth" was flourishing as much as the weather allowed, many still hoped for nothing but the thinnest ray of sunlight to pierce the atmosphere and melt the ice.
The clouds are beginning to thin more and more, and some people swear that they could make out the faint pinpricks of stars at night. But tensions are high. There are rumors of a shadowy organization that wants to keep the world enshrouded in ice, while a small band of rebels are breaking away from the laws set by authorities to challenge the pacifist ideas of the present and looking to find their past by melting the ice.
[HERE AND NOW]
Our city, Atlea, lays on a giant ice field that is pitted and dented with footsteps and rubble. The far east of the area is marked by a giant silver-coloured spire, oxidised by the ages into an icy white sheen. This is known simply as "The Post", and is a well-known, though unused spot, save for as a landmark for travellers and a train station. There are those that believe it is haunted or otherwise cursed.
Our city itself encompasses a large area, with two main gathering places (The Varden and The Tower), central to it all. There are also a smattering of high-rise apartment buildings surrounding it, and then the rooftops of the slums are visible lower down.
The next closest city is Riverford, two hours away by train. There are a few broken-down establishments along the way that provide meagre protection against the elements; most of these are used as rebel bases. The train runs through the outskirts of half of Atlea, making a semi-circle around the northern half, continuing to The Post and then snaking southeast.
[THE ARMOURY]
1. New technology has given rise to advances in travelling; with a sturdy pair of grippy-soled boots, anyone can participate in "roof-walking" in the slums. 2. Traction wheels allow the user to skate off the sides of the inner city for up to five seconds at a time. These are a rebel invention that can be attached to normal footwear and are only available to the rebels and the unaffiliated.
3. Ships are the common name for hovering vehicles that run on magnetics laid throughout the city. These travel the fastest out of all types of transportation and are favoured for their maneuverability. These are only used by the elite of Aeris Nox.
4. Trackships are magnetic hoverboards that ride on the current of the train. These are available to anyone, but can only be used along the path that the train travels.

Greetings, I'm NAME, AGE years old, and I'm GENDER.
I'm a proud SEXUALITY, and I run with the FACTION.
They say I'm... PERSONALITY.
But really, BIOGRAPHY.
There's a little voice in my head called USERNAME.
[imgleft]100 x 100 px image[/imgleft][list][list][list][list][list][color=YOURCOLOR][size=11]
Greetings, I'm [b]NAME[/b], [b]AGE[/b] years old, and I'm [b]GENDER[/b].
I'm a proud [b]SEXUALITY[/b], and I run with the [b]FACTION[/b].
They say I'm... [b]PERSONALITY[/b].
But really, [b]BIOGRAPHY[/b].
There's a little voice in my head called [b]USERNAME[/b]. [/color][/size][/list][/list][/list][/list][/list]
1. Please use a 100x100 pixel image of your character.
2. Replace the parts in ALLCAPS with your character information.
3. Check the profile thread for colours that have already been taken.
4. The factions are: "The Rebels" (those who want to see the sun, and bring back the history of the earth), "Aeris Nox", the organisation that wants to keep the sun away, and "Unaffiliiated", those who are just trying to survive.
5. For the BIOGRAPHY and USERNAME, type at least two solid paragraphs.
6. Please modify the profile format to make your posting format by removing everything after the "size=11" tag to everything before the "/color" tag.
Greetings, I'm Adelaide Valdez, 23 years old, and I'm Female.
I'm a proud Bisexual, and I run with the Aeris Nox.
They say I'm... cynical, but glib and smooth in conversation. I don't let morals hold me back, but follow instinctively what I think is right. Flirty and a little free-spirited at times, but focused when it comes to work..
But really, I was born to a middle-class family working in Aeris Nox and shocked into the reality of the past world at seven. As I grew up, life became harder and I had to learn about the ways to run the organization starting at a young age, slowly getting used to the idea that I would one day be seen as one of the "bad guys"..
There's a little voice in my head called PoppiHollaPuddelz.
