Everybody knew what it meant, from the first sight of the landscape, A New Wild West, the return of the age of outlaws and lone rangers, and after a brief Gold Rush in 2110 and a civil war regarding the rights of Androids spanning early 2120s to mid-2130s with the fall of the 2nd Confederacy, the area looked just like the Wild West, and thus our story begins in 2143, either in the Gang of one that goes by Fast Hand Ollie that will need to outclass other gangs in the area and face a threat more powerful than anything or in the town of Big Iron where the Iron Mine stopped giving out iron and now citizens of it need to defend against a forced eviction from their homes by one Hover Transportation Inc. Building a hover train railway, to cross the New Great Plains, who knows if, at one point, their stories won't become one story
How Things Work
You are presented with two storylines, a giant playable area, and a New Wild West on your hand, right now you are able to join a gang lead by Oliver Jason Rodriguez better known as Fast Hand Ollie or to become a citizen in the small town of Big Iron, once a storyline one of your chars is in ends you will be free to explore the world I provided for you, explore the opportunities in it and see be the classic outlaw of Wild West, but with Lazer Revolvers. Multiple Characters are highly encouraged to be created.
Technology
As you may already notice there are a lot of new technologies involved and a lot of time between our time and the RP time, so, the most noticeable technological differences you will notice are
1. Androids
Yea, they are here, got their freedom from servitude from the 2nd Civil War ( history repeating itself, there are a lot of those similarities here ) before produced in mass quantities now one is manufactured only when a pair of Androids order it. So, they have an aging process that first appeared only after they were liberated, kinda, it works like that, there are pre-built pieces of their outer layer that slide out when the Android reaches a certain age, then mini-fabricators just fill it out. Also, the Androids don't any internal organs except the brain, their body constitutes mostly of servo motors and receptors
2. Laser Weapons
No, no automatic weapons, laser rifles, laser revolvers and such, they are generally of the same shape as their bullet based counterparts but, their barrels have a lot of small optics and glow red
3. Hover-based transportation
You know the stuff, electromagnetic and such, Hovercars exist in this universe but are yet to come to New Great Plains, currently, the best option for getting around there is either a Horse or a Hover Train
4. Genetic Modification
Many animals were heavily modified for their colonization of Mars, like bison which was made smaller, or the horse which is now able to run faster and such, genetically modified animals usually get the prefix New
5. Cybernetic Implants
These can range from an eye being equipped with night vision to arm capable of lifting an elephant, people who get them are commonly referred to as Modified
Current State of Mars
Mars is divided into five sections, US Sponsored Mandate, EU Sponsored Mandate, Russia Sponsored Mandate, China Sponsored Mandate, and unclaimed land, our main focus will be on the US part, so, there are already five states there over an ocean and one giant territory of grassland dubbed New Great Plains, during the 2nd Civil War 4 out of 5 states seceded, mainly, New Virginia, Madison, Aubergine ( named after a great leader during the initial colonization of Mars ) and finally, 12 Islands, and the only martian born state to stay in the US was New Maine. New Great Plains are what you would come to know from Wild West movies, was grassland with occasional hills and sometimes a desert
The Map
Map made using Inkarnate
New Town: Largest Town in the Region, main hub for trade and other such activities, it is now already connected by Hover Transportation Inc. to its system
Blackberry: Small Town that has seen some growth in recent years but is still mostly unremarkable, mostly known for large wild New Bison populations
Margot Falls: A Small Fisherman town situated near one of the few rivers of the New Great Plains, the river itself creates a great housing for many of Earth fish, it needs to pay "Protection Tax" to one of the local gangs
Big Iron: A Small town, its biggest source of income, a mine north of the town has recently run dry and the town population has seen a large drop as miner's left
Old 2nd Confederation Base: Old abandoned base of 2nd Confederation, rumor has it there is still gold buried under it by its last commander
Desert Builders Camp: A Camp for the employees of Hover Transportation Inc. Building hover train railway, since the reputation of Dead Man Desert they are heavily armed, some say that the completion of the railway there will lead to the end of gang rule here
Mountains Builders Camp: A Camp for the employees of Hover Transportation Inc. Building hover train railway, regularly their chief tries to buy the town of Big Iron from the mayor
Ollie's Gang Hideout: A hideout of a gang lead by Oliver Jason Rodriguez or commonly know as Fast Hand Ollie after a series of duels in Blackberry that marked him as the most wanted man in that town and simultaneously a kind of man you here in the legends of the Old Wild West, the one back on Earth that passed 400 years or so ago
Aventura Brothers Gang Hideout: A hideout of a band of outlaws led by William and Jake Aventura, it most commonly raids whatever unlucky man is traveling near, they also usually take the "Protection Tax" from the town of Margot Falls
Dead Man Desert: A Desert separating West and East plains, the name of it comes from a large number of outlaws hiding in its hills
Barren Mountains: A nearly impassable mountain range, but, a large hover train company found a way through them, however, they would need to destroy the town of Big Iron for it
Albert Swamp: A big swamp, the only on New Great Plains, it is as deadly as it a great hiding spot so many that need to escape something and if they don't find a hiding spot in the Dead Man Desert, they will probably be here
