The year is 2539. Humanity has made massive strides beyond the technology of the 21st Century. Computers are almost entirely holographic and touch-based rather than button- or keyboard-based. Medical care has allowed people to live into their 170s. There is no longer a need to devastate nature, as nearly everything that the world needs can be produced naturally...

Except power.

Many nations still relied greatly on coal- or oil-based power, a surprising revelation considering the advancements of the past. The coal and oil power plants have just gotten larger and more numerous. However, there is a solution...

In 2504, physicist, chemist, and inventor Martin McCracken designed a solar-replication power facility deep underground in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Project Nova was connected to every power grid in the world upon its completion in 2513 (the fact that the project was the source was kept secret by the US), but then was disconnected from the system in 2515 for unknown reasons. The project worked by creating a miniature star. It took an incredible amount of energy to create the star's extremely dense hydrogen field, but once fusion began, that energy input was repaid many millions of times over in an instant by the output from the star, christened Nova after the project. Nova's harmful effects were canceled out by means of extraordinary measures, such as anti-gravity plating and large force fields. The researchers themselves were kept from being blinded by a nearly opaque force field between them and Nova.

When the world's coal and oil mysteriously ran out on March 1, 2539, there was utter turmoil. It would be left to the citizenry to find the solution to the conundrum...

Four friends hiking in the mountains stumbled upon the Project Nova compound on March 22, 2539. Somehow managing to reignite Nova from nuclear batteries contained within the compound, the foursome were able to bring the United States back online, though the connections between the US and other grids had long since worn away. Now, the four must deal with the tasks of maintaining Nova and protecting its secrets from the world...

Accepted Characters

The Nova Four

Image

Michael McCracken is the nephew of the creator of Nova, Martin McCracken. Born in 2499, Mike McCracken was planning on following in the footsteps of his uncle and becoming an inventor, but he became interested in marketing and later became the CEO of a worldwide computer software corporation. On a personal level, though, he is still well in touch with family and friends and places them before his work - even to the point where he would move his family to the Nova complex to keep them safe from international threats after discovering Nova…


US Government Officials

None presently.

World Government Officials

The Nova Four would be high-schoolers, minimum. Don't go too old, though.

What?

Currently, there is none. The world's still in chaos after the power shut down, barring the United States (thanks to Nova).

Also, long-deserved bump.

Character Name: James West
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Image

Allegiance: The Nova Four
Personality: Acerbic, witty sense of humor. Slightly reserved, doesn't trust easily.
A short bio: James was born to a father in the United States Marines, and a mother who worked a successful law practice. James graduated high school with honors, and was accepted into West Point, Navy, NYU, and Tufts. James went to Tufts, deciding that if he really wanted to join the military after college, he would do so without being forced to. His father and mother both approved, and so James went to Tufts school of engineering. Four years later it was 2539. The world shut down, and James, along with a few friends he had met along the way, discovered Nova.

When you say world governments, what do you intend? I mean, It's highly possible the governments changed in such time with no electricity around...

Who is left? Only coal and oil power shut down, but the rest would only keep certain parts of some countries lit up. France is one example, since they have bunchtons of nuclear power.

It definitely would cause trouble. Countries that lost much of their power sources, such as the US and other coal- and oil-power countries, are definitely in turmoil (the US less so when Nova was reactivated).

My point exactly. I know it's only 22 days, but humanity has proven to need less to waste cities and bring chaos.

There are some guidelines if we want to act for a governement or we can be creative?
