A New Theatrical Edition of the original Border of Reality Roleplay
Rebuild 1.0 You Will (Not) Survive
Reading of the prologue is optional but advised.
In case you tl;dr'd that entire section up above, here's the short summary: There is a world parallel to ours where all the magical creatures (and their magic) exist. On September 13, 2000, that world a splode, and the high-speed object that caused it asploded into our world at Olduvai, bathing Earth in metaphysical radiation, turning a little over 80% of Earth's population into metahumans - that is, people with superpowers. These people quickly took power, some nations rose to old heights, others fell to new lows, but many started oppressing that 20% that wasn't transformed into Homo Superior. And by oppressing I mean what oppressing was in the 1940s. A lot. And the UN, which was entirely meta-controlled, was totally chill with this.
Naturally a few nations got pissed off. These nations formed the Assembly For Humanity (which the UN doesn't recognize), with its own peacekeeping arm, labeled the 'Humanist Front' and a terrorist group by the UN, Department of Peacekeeping by the AFH, and (informally) 'Amnesty Army' by its members.
You will not be agents of the AFH's peacekeeping corps. I mean, you can if you want to be, but their actions will not be the main focus of this story. Their actions will mostly be limited to either side plots or, if they really do something epic nearby, they could become firefights... or even boss fights.
You, the characters, start out in Paris, France, one of the most touristy cities in Europe, and home to the AFH's main French base. It is August 25th, 2017 and, unbeknownst to the AFH, the UN Peackeeping forces (and the French Army) have located this base. Tonight, they attack, civilians or no: An evacuation of the entire city of Paris, for whatever reason, would be too great a tip-off for the AFH.

Welcome to Earth, circa August 2017, where the powers are made up and the African noncolonial borders don't matter! A lot has changed since that fateful day in Y2K. Let's take a look at some of the more interesting global stuff, shall we?
- 11 nations [Canada, Great Britain, Scotland, Germany, Mongolia, Tibet, Israel, Palestine, Afghanistan, Switzerland, United Korea] have all left the UN (Afghanistan was ejected)
- Great Britain, Scotland, Germany, and Switzerland have also left the EU, which has thusly collapsed.
- 9 nations [Canada, Great Britain, Scotland Germany, Mongolia, Tibet, Israel, Palistine, United Korea] have united to form the Assembly For Humanity, headquartered in Berlin.
And that's just the political stuff. Sportsing people, fret not, the results of the years from 2000 to 2014 remain the same, Spain still won in 2010, and Brazil still got butt-pirated out of the final in 2014 to watch Germany win. Technology is right on the edge of cyberpunk. Holographic touchscreens exist, cyborgs are military prototypes, and military walkers are a thing - Though they're more like Metal Gears than Gundams, and thus largely defensive. Laser weapons, while used by the military, are typically huge and unwieldable by (most) humans, meta or otherwise. Mainly because they are either jet-powered or have batteries the size of Volkswagens.
