Description
At the end of the 24th century, the social issues of the previous decades exploded into global conflicts in which every part and member of society was involved. Civilization was destroyed in the sweep of these Social Wars as the lasers, bio-genetic agents, and nuclear warheads took their toll. Those who survived soon found them selves witnessing a bio-genetic revolution as animals like none other soon repopulated the Earth. 150 years after the wars, lizards with telepathy and unnatural savage creatures became common sight. The age of Anarchy passed, civilization was reborn.
It is a well known fact that during the Social Wars many high ranking officials took shelter as the land was decimated by domestic, and foreign assault alike. As was planned they, and others followed government procedures meant to insure survival, and a chance to rebuild. These shelters where only meant to be inhabited for ten months, unlike CEEPs which were privately funded, and made use of stasis chamber technology. After ten months these individuals emerged to find the world strange, and harsh. They began rebuilding, connecting with other survivors, only to be pushed back by things so horrid the presence was unbearable. Many abandoned the pursuit, instead setting out to forge their own path, and a new world. The headstrong citizens, and officials, however remained true to their aims, and through contact with other groups established over the years a network to not only promote the rebirth of the nations of the Earth, but the emergence of peace between all nations. Agreeing that the world can not be revived if the people are still at war.
It's now the year 3001, great progress has been made in restoring the nations of old. You are part of that restoration, an example of how far it's come- a citizen of the Restored United States of America you have rose to a position in the nation's congress as the challenge persists. The restoration of the USA is not an easy task as much of history has been lost during the Social Wars. Primarily events from 1978 to around 2150. Many of those inhabiting US territory do not today consider themselves citizens of the US and it is these two factors that drive the challenge the US faces in being restored. That and the issues that ignited the Social Wars- issues that resurface or linger even now. Along with these internal issues are outside forces that threaten the nation.
Additional Info
This RP has been created to explore how life and politics are in the Restored United States of the Gamma World setting (hosted by the Titans RP Group) however it is not binding it's self exclusively to that lore. Thus players new to the setting need not learn the details of it. They are only expected to explore the situation presented. However if you would like to learn more this link will provide details. Gamma World is what is called a 'living world' and thus is changing with each RP or has been until this one which while not counting towards the continuity will still be used to help better portrayal of the US in the setting as new angles are presented by the players who enroll. We also hope to increase interest in Gamma World though this RP.
