Introduction
With 2020 passing the world quickly, the globe saw an interaction with the digital age it had never seen before. While electronics were in the infancy still in the early 2000's, by the time of 2025 technological gains came by leaps and bounds. There had always been spaceships, but menial freighters loaded with materials, goods and supplies.
But "Titan", named after the old Greek Gods that were cast into a fictional hell called "Tartarus" built a heavy weapons platform. A warship. They called it "Chronus" after the father of Zeus. It was of a completely different class which they labeled"Accron". Of course with this accomplishment, Themis could not be outdone. They had fears that Titan was going to use its new-found power to conquer and even enslave Themis to its doctrine. So, as the years crawled by Themis was secretly underwraps and finally unveiled the Savior-Class Battlecruiser "Manifest Destiny".
These ships became flagships for the ever increasing armada between the two words. The human race could no longer function in its divided state. The two powers vying for absolute supremacy were on the verge of total, and all out war. The potential for catastrophic loss of life on both ends, both sides saw it as a Cold War. This time however, ether was open hostilities spilling out from both sides. Mass riots, and schemes such as coup d'états that were sloppily misinformed as charades of either governments. However, as the games grew more elaborate and the choices more devious--the finger over the proverbial trigger set off a chain of events long foreseen, perhaps, long overdue.
In 2030 the colonies Titan And Themis engaged each other in a heated and drawn own battle. They had no other planets in which to target but each other. In doing so, they each did irreconcilable damage to the other. Eventually though, Themis lost the war, and with it, its entire civilization. Titan was left barren wasteland of desserts; cracked and dried earth and sandy dunes. The once vast metropolises that dotted the land scape, were now buried in debris from warheads, missiles, shells and bombs. Skeletons of buildings and the city blocks they once resided are now a distant memory. Over the course of a hundred years, the inhabitants have adapted to a lifestyle that in prior generations had never dreamed of. A world without electronics being the focal point of their lives any longer.
Some of the superstructures of the battleships--immense heralds of destruction--can be found still docked and eerily groaning as if still enduring the stresses of combat. Some of these ships show their incredible tenacity with entire compartments and decks blown out--tungsten carbide twisted like tin foil. No one seems to want to go near them, even a hundred years after their war ended, them memory somehow passing through the genetic line or perhaps just permeate the area with a sense of dread and awesomeness.
The rest of the world, it is a hollowed out wasteland. Silence and serenity can quickly become something more however. Radiation, manifested by the many bombs dropped by both sides, has produced startling abhorrent and grotesque creatures. What remains of the population after carnage of world bombardments; entire city's sinking in a deluge of immense artillery strikes that reshaped entire continents.
- Full Name(Last, Middle Initial, first)
- ::Job Description:: (Merchant, Bounty Hunter, Soldier of Fortune, Marshal, Prostitute, etc. Within reason. )
- ::Weight::( I want reasonable proportions. Not everyone's going to be 6'9 298lbs. No less than 5'7 feet tall or more than 6'6. If you need a height x weight ratio, http://www.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htm )
- ::Height::
- ::Eye Color::
- :: Hair color:: ( This may not seem important, but it helps with people wanting to know a descriptive measure of your character without having to read through four paragraphs of other details.)
- :: General Description:: (This is where you should add in the finer details, as well as rehash some of the material. Be descriptive, use adjectives, don't be scared! Although, make sure its details that are actually relevant. Rather or not your male or female character has nipple piercings, I just don't care. If he has a scar, tell me where and why.)[/b]
- ::Background:: Details, details, details.
- ::Weapon:: ( will fill everyone in on this subject later as to what the actual firearms are. As I have stated beforehand, its unrealistic to expect someone to be toting a "laser gun". However conventional firearms will be of the time frame, they may be still "kinetic based" weaponry, weapons that eject or propel rounds with kinetic force but there are instances where other technology is included. )
- ::Vehicle:: There are many vehicles through out this world, in most cases they will be military. Some your character will be able to drive such as armored transports such as JLTV (successor of what today we know as the Humvee), and even the VOTL, a former military aircraft that was a successor to the helicopter. Most vehicles will be civilian use though, as there is no gas you can pump any more, its pretty much first come first serve.
* This is subject to change at my discretion.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 4 authors
Madeline shot up like she'd been shot when she heard a man agonizing screams, like nails on a chalk board. She looked on in horror at what Cain was doing "No stop!" she yelled, her heart sank how could anyone even do such a thing. It was inhumane, she could stand for it she thought as she started to run towards him. Henry shot up grabbed her and slammed her to the ground "Just stay put and let it be you hear, they were after us anyway best that he eats them and not us. So for the both of us keep your mouth shut and you ass out of the way" he said leaning into her ear.
"Da..ad you can't just let him do.. that. It's wrong... it's monstrous" she said from her father weight on her back.
"Then plug your ears and cover your eyes cause it aint gonna be pretty, sometimes you live longer when with the monsters then the other things much worse. A meal is a meal and I never said he was human" he said sitting down her back.
"How... can you....let him do this... No!" she yelled.
Henry went flying as she jumped up suddenly sending him flying off her back. He sat there in shock not believing that she was strong enough to knock him over.
"I'll be damned" he said, but realized she was running towards Cain and his meal. "Shit!" he jumped up again "Don't be stupid Maddie!" he yelled after her.
Madeline didn't pay attention to what Cain looked like, how he was dressed, what color he was. None of that crossed her mind, all she could think of is that he wasn't all monster there had to be reasoning with him. She ended up running and crashing right into Cain's chest, "Please... God please... don't do this... you don't have to do this. I beg you I'll do anything but please... don't do what your doing, you can think me weak or eat me yourself but don't torture him like that" she said.
"Are you fucking out of your mind! that man would have killed us and your trying to protect by offering yourself. You are so damn stupid girl get the hell out of the way and let him finish the job!" Henry yelled at a safe distance.
Madeline felt tears well up in her eyes "Whether he would have killed us or not is beside the point..." she put her hand up on Cain's chest. "Please... no one deserves this" she begged. "I can't believe that there is nothing to you... but killing. I know your not completely human, but there has to be some humanity left in you. So please... don't do this" she said waiting for her fate. She knew it was possible that he could easily kill her and eat her as this man he was "preparing" but she couldn't be witness to his complete downfall of that. In her heart she felt that if every lost compassion for anyone, that there really wasn't a point in living anymore. To totally give up on your humanity, and become a monster that is a fate worse the death.

Re: World War III: Legacy to End Wars
However, as far as the story goes, I am still unsure of rather to make it truly multifaceted by giving the players the choice of joining either Army. I've seen too many roleplays where, too many people have quit or lethargically stagnated the story because they have crippled in essence, a critically component. If there is enough support and well written posts, I might consider opening the Russians point of view but as it stand, majority will be on The Syndicate. Keep in mind, however, that even with these increasingly potent weapons that the Syndicate has, its still very much an up hill battle for them. If not for the description I gave for the Russian forces, then for the sheer fact that, The Confederation has swallowed up every country the world had signed over due to the oil crisis. That was a lot.
