Brief Overview
Currently looking for Role-players to fill the roles of
(Leader of Black Hand)
(One-Three Resistance leaders)
Before the main plot can begin!

Rise of Blackthorn City is intended to be a futuristic fantasy RP based in and around the City of Blackthorn,formerly The City of New Glim. By incorporating futuristic technology and a dystopian world, with locations,weapons,magic,races etc that are associated with the fantasy genre aswell as the sci-fi genre. I intend for alot of the content to be added by the player's but sadly,for the sake of not having god's and demi-gods roaming the place,or other such characters,races or random magic abilities that can easily take on The Legion. I will be keeping some form of tabs on as much as I can to keep the basic plot together. This by no means that despite the plot being there and available that you are confined to it, Player's are free to go off and do their own side plots or things on their own. I am providing the world and the main plot-line,not forcing you into a story.

For the sake of character creation and easy reference here are a few things to think about.

It's The Year 4110
Geography: The Planet is called Kandor and is an Alternate Earth. Upto around 2300 nation and geography wise its the same as now. Beyond that nations are simply re-named and the world itself remains relatively the same map-wise.
The City: The city itself is humungous. It is not simply a single city as we see them now,but a massive undertaking that spread a city across a space of land the rough size of Tasmania (That little thing at the bottom of Australia.) When compared to the rest of the world its rather small,but for one city its large enough to be its own state.
Technology: Technology is highly advanced and futuristic,Think Sci-Fi here! Happily and sadly though, Apple does not exist here,nor Microsoft. Both were gone from this world almost 1000 years ago.
Races etc: Think of anything you want! Aslong as I can look at you're character and not see nonesense or a ridiculously overpowered creation then anything is welcome! Get Creative!

Without further ado,here is the story itself!

History

The city of New Glim was a relatively normal trading city. Relying on mostly markets and trades with other city economically the city was blessed with large deposits of resources. Spices,fertile land and Melaktite deposits were numerous and the city was rich enough to be named one of the planet's super powers. The nation of Glim was thriving and the city itself had a low crime-rate due to high pay-rates for officers of the law and even bounty hunters. The entire city was peaceful despite it being a melting pot of cultures,races and technology,that is until the event. One fine day during festivities celebrating New Glim's mere one hundred years in existence however disaster, as it does,struck at the most opportune and inconvenient moment. Much of what happened that day was lost along with the rest of the world but what was,and can never be forgotten was how it happened.

All of a sudden during the festivities, a great barrier was brought up to surround the city. The people were of course confused,there was no attack nothing had gone wrong,and so they continued celebrating. Oblivious to the destruction outside, The government kept up the charade of it being a mere test of defensive measures until the celebrations ended,the people wanted to go back to their homes outside the main hub of the city to see their families. To go back to their normal lives now that the festivities were over and the drunk had been corralled into hotels, but the government could not let them. They sealed off the city and covered the barrier in fog the moment the festivities had begun to die out. The people were angry and rightfully so,riots broke out all over the streets and crime rates shot sky high. This lasted over a week until eventually an announcement came atop the clock-tower in the center of New Glim on a holographic screen. They promised to show them why they couldn't lower the barrier if they returned to their homes...and so they did. Everyone returned home and stared hopefully out of their windows,watching and waiting until the barrier suddenly turned transparent.

The reason nobody could go home,was because their was no home. Only New Glim stood alive,floating through a debris field of what was left of the planet,orbiting around a star,but this was not the star that they had last seen. The glowing orange globe that hid lit up the sky during the day was gone,replaced by a gigantic blue orb that was encircled by various satellites and covered in planet sized lines of circuitry and wires that seemed to be apart of the orbs very surface. It was beautiful yes,but the people were out-raged and in despair. Everyone they ever knew was dead or trapped inside the barrier with them. In an instant the police,the citizens and even the criminals tore the government down. Leaving New Glim in a state of chaos. It was a free for all.

That is,until The Scarred Legion came. An underground crime syndicate that had kept it's head low and under the radar from the police and the government. After both had been over-thrown or dissolved by the worlds people they had risen seemingly from hell itself. An army of the damned,the insane or the broken rising up from the sewers and the slums of New Glim to take control. The people had no chance, pockets of resistance tried to fight back but The Legion had been preparing for war for years and easily took control of the city. They created their own "government" and the resources and taxes all went to them. In less then a month it became a city ruled by fear and force. It wasn't all bad though, The Scarred Legion had made a promise when they created their government, a speech was made by their leader who was only ever known by his nickname. The War Torn Wolf.

"Impale,Burn and Shred. The Scarred Legion shall rise, and aye have we risen New Glim! I made a promise to ye all back in the hay-day of The Legion. Ye can break it down,tear the planet apart and burn it but I'll still rebuild it mehself,in my own image! Well citizens of New Glim,that's exactly what I intend to do! Starting from now,half o' the resources and taxes are to be put towards rebuildin' the damn planet, but none of this high-tech nonesense yer all so fond of. No,I'll rebuild it, as you lot seem to like putting it. Just as nature intended,sure there'll be a few hints of tech in there I ain't god,but as far as I'm concerned this is my world now, if I change my mind and make a few high-tech pieces o' land then who are ye to complain?, Now go about yer business as normal but, just one more thing. Remember kiddies, The Legion is alway's in control,always watching, ye will NEVER get rid o' us." -The War Torn Wolf.

In that instant half of what was already a now tiny world, the last city. Was burnt, nothing but rubble and industrial wasteland lay's to the north of the clocktower now, The resistance fights heavier there but the air is so thick with smog and pollution,the land so scorching hot that most every humanoid has to wear a cloak and breathing mask. The clocktower became The Legions new fortress and hub of control and it is around this time that you come into the picture.

The year is 4110 on The City of Blackthorn,The place once known as New Glim and The Planet that had been known as Kandor, Your choices are laid before you.

You may Join The Legion,if you have the talent for it.
Perhaps you're content to simply live you're life.
Or maybe,just maybe, you'll join the resistance and fight back against their control.
