Intro: In 2000, britains government began its corruption. The leaders only cared for money, and so it was taken out from tax payer money and put into their mansions and posh cars. However this wasn't to continue as it was quickly noticed by organisations such as NHS and the schools system and so, by 2002 the entire contry was on strike demanding for their pay to be given however without workers there was no tax coming in and so the government simply stalled by taking money from banks and giving to the public to satisfy their needs for now. The military was also one of the organisations hit by this money flow problem, and so during the summer of 2002 the separate military subsections (RAF, royal navy, British army) joined together, announcing an all round leader, General Downing, who was an Ex-SAS troop and had experience in flying for the RAF also which made him the perfect candidate. The military spent the next year preparing and on march 21st 2003 they started a coup and overun the entire country including scotland and wales, embeding themselves within london using it as a headquaters for operations to follow. At first people were glad of the change, however without any experience in economy or politics the feeling soon deteriated and a full scale uprising was at hand. Doing what the military done best they settled this uprising with brute force, detaining those who surrendered and masacuring those who fought. This change in government however also effected matters in northern ireland between the IRA and the UDA, both of which where paramilitary groups with access to extreme firepower between them aswell as funds. Putting their petty squabbles aside and realising that this was the perfect time to seize power the 2 factions joined forces to form the UPB(United paramilitary brotherhood) and set out for england. In october 2004 the UPB had enough weapons and ammo, aqquired from links with arms dealers from across europe, to begin a war.
Within a month the country had been torn appart. The UPB on one side, recruiting those who where willing to die from the civilian population and the military who suspected all as UPB, murdering innocents and commiting attrocous war crimes. Communication with the outside world was cut off by the military, and instead a single message was repeated through the radio waves. "Supplies and ammo, war is at hand!" America were hessitant to invade, and instead sent supplies, weapons and ammo to britain by means of cargo plains dropping them from parachutes. This meant that the full truth was never learnt by the americans, and although the french tried to invade also, the british troops masacured there forces, salvaging all that they could from their ships. Entire cities were razed to the ground, and now in 2009 after many years of war it is only survival. Without funds the UPB have no means of new supplies, nor do the military and so the only means of survival is through the daily drops made by american cargo planes and occasional ships, however these ships are usually destroyed by the british or at least attacked to prevent them from docking. And so the question is to be asked, in 2009 in one of the most brutal battlefields in the world,whos side are you on?
Faction discriptions:
Military:The usual camos, with modern technology such as radios, tanks, jets, jeeps, turrets. They also hold the majority of the british army bases and training ground but are regulary losing them to UPB raids. If you pick this side the only really customisible part is weapons, facial features and some attire aswell as background. The attire is to be kept army webbing, camo and helmets or if your a sniper an optional ghille suit. You can be any army job, pilot, tank commander etc but they all live within semi operational bases "Little or no electricity" that the army still own. They perform regular checks on cities and are able to find supplies as they know where they are dropped thanks to radios.(Please note, can be troops from other countries on their way to the country via plane or boat or a member of the military coup in britian.
Civilian: Caught in the middle, they dwell within the ruined cities and some carry weapons taken from dead soldiers. Any attire and background are allowed such as doctors, taxi driver w/e and they are usually caught between firefights inside cities when cargo is droped. They simply are trying to survivein this unforsaken hellhole.
UPB: They are paramilitary and quite a majority of them are from northern ireland however recruits from england are also in it and so they wear some civilian clothes, mixed with army attire aquired from shipments and cargo drops. They used russian made weapons bought from arms dealers, however some weapons can be american issue but dont overdo it on that side. balycalavas are usuall aswell as stolen helmets etc. They use run and gun tactics and have no modern army vehicals but instead modify civilian transport with salvaged army parts such as turrets, army plating etc. They usually have runners that follow army personel to supplie areas.
==========================
Geography: Not the same old england. Towns and cities still exist but in ruin form, and the countryside is covered in battle damage and craters etc. So just decribe the areas like that, they arnt completly destroyed as some building still stand half here and half there. Army bases are huge complexs with wire fences, and steel walls behind that. Inside they seem like miniture towns, with a M.A.S.H, mess hall, pub, weapon shop etc. UPB Hq's are basically underground bunkers(aka sewers etc) which are damp and dark, filled with injured and sick soldiers and weapon stashes. Civilians live amounst ruined buildings trying to go about they're daily life, staying alive as they know each minute may mean death.
==========================
Classes?There are no classes or anything however some sides are restricted to certain amounts of weapons and such.The only melee weapons the UPB and Military would use are combat knifes however civilians use many melee weapons found around their area. Military use modern weapons that are found in supply drops and the UPB have old russian weapons which they modify with new parts from supplies( Folding stocks, silencers, scopes etc.) They may also have up to 3 modern weapons from supplies.

Try not to hog one side, try and spread everyone across the factions. You can have a maximum of 2 characters at any one time. If one dies you can create a new one.
Final note: Every week or so a random event will happen, be it missiles launched, a special supplie drop or troops invading etc. I will not kill any of your characters while doing so, however ideas for random events can be PMed to me and will probs be included.
*Also, i will improve all this intro in due time. I gtg to work soon so it was rushed*
