If the World ends On October 15, 2077 the bloodiest war in mankind’s history took place. Nearly the entire planet was destroyed and what little survive was ruined. More than three fourths of the Earth's population was destroyed. The planet was covered in radioactive dust leaving all water dirty and polluted. The wars lasted 3 hours. In those 45 minutes more energy was released than any before, though in truth the wars had been going on for years. The U.S. and Russia seemed to be in a second Cold War. When the Russians took out the U.S. missile shield all hell broke loose. Missiles clouded the sky as the world ended. When the bombs fell everything ended. Time stood still. Bodies and buildings were ripped apart as the nuclear energy blanketed the world. Thought no one knows who launched the first missile no one cared. All that anyone cared about was getting to the Vaults as soon as possible. With only 10 percent of the world population in a bunker anyone left out could only watch as the nearest bomb fell. Once humanity started to rebuild itself from the under the ruble that it the world they banded together for life. Some found safety in numbers and settled near each other in hope of fending off the creatures that survived the bombing. Others decided to take up Raiding as a way to put food on the table. Many occupations sprung up around the wasteland-most of which would have gotten you arrested before the bombs fell. With no law enforcement slavers, drug dealers, prostitution ring and any other illegal act became an everyday occurrence. The bombs truly did bring out the worst in mankind. But it also brought out the best. A few traveling warriors have tried to keep the peace in the Wasteland. Most foremost of these was the Order of the Swords. Commonly known as the Order, these warriors were dedicated to protecting the Wasteland. They, ironically, often host raids on Raider compound in a hopes to eliminate the threat. Yet there are still those who simply want to be left alone. These adventurers wander the wasteland looking for a successful life. They, more often than not, don't have homes to go to and so continue to stumble around the wasteland just hoping nothing kills them. Often they begin as young people looking for adventure but end as withered husks who just want to be left alone. Some become so unstable they will set up in an abandoned cave and wait for monsters to eat them alive. 2100-The first vaults begin to open. The people slowly trickle out too see what's left of the world. Mutated creatures flourish. 2150-More Vaults open. Settlements begin to appear. Unfortunately this is also when the Raider gangs began. 2156-Trolls are discovered. Heavily armed and far stronger than a human, we began to carry larger weapons. 2160-2200-Humans continue to emerge. The first members of the Order of the Sword begin to band together. They start as a rag tag team of anti-raiders but are quickly seen as protectors. 2222-Raiders are at an all time high. The Order of the Sword has been forced to take refuge in the ruins of Los Angeles to escape the attacks form Raiders and Trolls. 2230-Trolls become more active. The Order of the Sword is taking heavy casualties. They've been forced into a defensive position in order to survive. Few Swords still wander the Wasteland. 2232-A full scale assault is launched by the Raiders of Pittsburgh on the Trolls of Washington DC. Due to high levels of radiation and a simple lack of planning the Raiders are easily defeated. The Trolls then move into the empty area. 2235-The Order of the Swords team with other small groups to repel the threat from the LA boarders allowing them to move freely about the Wastelands. 2250- Present day. The war for survival has come to a standstill. Luckily the number of Raider groups and the number of Defenders are near even though the Raider still has the edge. The trolls still pose a threat however and ambushes are common. Water and food is scare, causing more and more people to turn to raiding. Though now major battles have taken place the raise of the Karth Raiders is egging it on. No one knows when the battle will take place only that when it does, they want to be ready for it. I'm sure anyone who read this will realize the similarities with the Fallout series, which is where I got the inspiration from. However there are some changes (thought minor). I've kept some popular cities standing just to give a sense of connection to the real world. At this point in development it's very bare. There are enough areas to RP and the rules and character template is up so you can join and have a good time so far. I will be adding areas as people join. In short enjoy the site I hope you like it. |

It's heavily based on the games but I figured that would be good for starters. It'll branch out from the games once the story starts. |
