[QUOTE="M3woods, post: 6929714, member: 6855284"] Here's the description of the setting I'll be using for my groups upcoming W.O.I.N. campaign. [B] 2212: Midnight Dogs [I]THEN [/I][/B]Midway through the 22nd Century it became clear to everyone that modern democracy within the United States of America was a failure. Electoral campaigns had turned into nasty smear attacks, fear-mongering, and bloody riots in the streets. Candidates from both sides pointed fingers of blame at the opposition yet neither party spoke out against the violence. Then, in 2176, armed forces began patrolling neighborhoods, soldiers blockaded intersections, and whole cities became police states. Finally, backed by the military, POTUS declared martial law, fulfilling his role as Commander-in-Chief. Within months, members of both Congress and the Senate were either arrested, killed, or went missing due to attempts to stand against the Presidential power-play. The U.S. withdrew from foreign affairs, isolating itself from the rest of the world. Taxes increased, wages decreased, and soon the unemployment rate skyrocketed, leading to more relaxed corporate restrictions. Suddenly, without strict moral and ethical regulations, Corporations were turning out innovations in a number of scientific and technological fields; the most impressive displays coming out of genetics, cybernetics, and weapons design. Morrow Enterprises was the first to create a sentient uplifted animal, a canine designated Alpha-MK13, Mackie, for short. In no time, many corporations began developing their own strands of mutated organisms, called Mutorg, after the naming convention of calling cybernetic organisms Cyborgs. Mutors became commonplace, but were generally regarded as non-people, used as a source of expendable slave labor. As the 23rd Century approached, a number of threats arose to threaten the burgeoning aristocracy. Revolutionary extremists began fighting back against the tide of government and corporate forces. Both Human and Mutor factions fought for basic human rights, though much of their efforts remained ineffective. Then came Mackie. At the turn of the century, the aged canine, long thought dead, returned from the shadows and unified the disparate factions. Thus were born the Midnight Dogs. [B][I]NOW[/I][/B] Condemned as an outlaw by the Aristocracy, on the run from military forces, enforcement agencies, and bounty hunters, your options are limited. But, in the shadows of corporate high society, you manage to cobble together a team. As Rogue Paladins, Cyborgs, Pstrykers, or Mutors, you and your allies might stand a chance. Join the Resistance. Welcome to the world of the Midnight Dogs. [/QUOTE]
