A World in the Dark OOC
IC: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=315683&p=22045557#p22045557
Earth. Once, a great world with 13 billion inhabitants all trying to find ways to improve the lives of those more misfortunate than they. Some might've called it paradise, now, it was anything but. The year was 2179, and an extraterrestrial fleet had entered the solar system. They came in the trillions, bearing down on the tiny world of Earth, but it was not Earth they wanted. They went after a greater prize. Our sun. Within an hour, the sun was gone, harvested for energy by mysterious aliens. Within the day, 98% of the Earth's population had perished. Humanity would never again be the same.
The year is 2345. Earth is now a satellite of Jupiter. What remains of the human race huddles around nuclear power plants for survival. Pyramidal cities stab at an empty sky. People are forced to mine for air, sending out rovers to collect liquid nitrogen and oxygen, as well as ice and dry ice. Subterranean greenhouses produce food for the human race, as well as an additional source of air. Nuclear power heats, lights, and powers the remnants of the human race, keeping it alive on the edge of extinction. Society has evolved since the darkening, as it is called, religions, cultures and ethnicities even have changed. Many of the cities have banded together in great leagues that stretch over the planet in great swathes. They will occasionally war with one another, fighting over food, air, or uranium. But humanity has reached the point where they no longer have to focus completely on survival. Man turns its eyes upward at a starry sky, and seeks for other worlds where life would not be so hard, and where paradise can reign again.
