First Post
The campaign will be beginning shortly and I'll try to post the events of the sessions here. With a heavy workload from school, playing sessions will be quite rare, but I'll update anyway.
History for the campaign:
2047, North America is engulfed in flames of an endless war, rubble is everywhere, the people are broken. Their hopes and dreams for a peaceful life shattered by the ruthless ruling of President Redman, leader of PCAM (the People's Coalition Against Mutants).
Redman started gaining support from normal humans in 2035, he couldn't stand the mutants anymore. Those Homosuperiors (commonly referred to as Mutants) were causing too much chaos, criminals with super powers and would be vigilante heroes in bright costumes caused more harm than good trying to stop the villains. He didn't want to see anymore innocent humans injured or killed because of the homosuperiors. He formed PCAM, his own political party, easily gaining support from the majority of the people in the USA through his propaganda. He payed certain mutants to cause havoc in order to turn the people against them. Finally, he succeeded in being elected in 2039 and he began what would soon turn into the greatest war mankind has ever seen, the War of the Mutants.
Redman set up anti-mutant laws, forcing them to live in monitored concentration camps where they were studied. His scientists eventually devised a method for restraining their powers, vicious collars that injected a serum into their blood that repressed their enhanced genes. The mutants in the camps fled where they could, fought back when they couldn't. And thus began the War of the Mutants.
Rebellious mutants formed into groups, some working towards a peaceful solution, while others turned to violence. The conflict soon blew out of proportion, Redman used his power to change the laws in his favour, allowing himself to remain president for many years to come. His scientists had finally finished work on there anti-mutant weapons, robots of all sizes known as Zealots. Their sole purpose was to round up mutants, using any force necessary. Mutants that resisted were often killed instead of being captured.
Battles with the Zealots broke out all over the continent, and rumours of normal humans in high-tec power armour began to surface. Had Redman started working on a new weapon to use against the mutants? Redman's war versus the mutants caused destruction everywhere and many people started to think him a madman. All the major cities in the USA were either consumed in battle, or nearly destroyed from the fighting. The Homosuperiors were not fairing well against Redman's fury. By 2043, more than 3/4 of the mutant population in the USA were either dead, or being restrained in his concentration camps.
At this time, a small group of normal humans began fighting against Redman. They were a group of people from around the world, led by Jean-Francois Ladouceur (a French-Canadian). They fought against the Zealots alongside the mutants in the kind of high-tec powered armour that Redman was rumoured to have made. This group of humans, known as PAR (People Against Redman), save many mutants, smuggling them across the border to bases in Canada, Mexico and Europe.
While Redman caused destruction in North America, the people of Europe, Asia, South America, Africa and Oceania did nothing but watch. Some thought that Redman was insane and none of the political leaders wanted to go to war against the most powerful nation in the world. They prepared defences in case Redman took his fight against mutants to their countries, which he did. South America, Africa and Oceania were soon overrun by Redman's forces; the people there lived in terror under the watch of the Zealots. Redman quickly exterminated any remaining resistance and created more concentration camps for mutants on those continents.
Meanwhile, Europe and Asia were also under siege. Redman had not been as succesful in gaining control of those continents as they had better technology. The countries of Asia unified and formed their own mini-UN (called the UAN, United Asian Nations). The military worked with PAR which soon set up PAR-Asia. China had the most influence in PAR-Asia and in the UAN and they chose to remain defensive. The leaders of Japan wanted to work with PAR and the European nations and take the offensive. They began working on new nano-technology, trying to enhance their soldiers by giving them powers strangely similar to those of the Homosuperiors.
Europe was not doing as well as Asia. The European nations did not group together as quickly as the Asian ones had. France and England were under siege from Redman, Paris was in ruins and the country was engulfed in a war for survival. England was surrounded by Redman's forces. PAR headquarters, located deep underground the London Tower was doing everything they could to stop Redman, but the future did not look good.
By 2047 Redman had gained control of over half of the world. PAR was weakening while Redman continued to create ever more powerful Zealots. The world wonders if this madman will every be stopped.
May 2047, a man claiming to be from the future mysteriously appears in PAR headquarters and warns them of Redman's plans to use Nova Bombs (picture something more powerful than a Nuke) against Hong Kong, the location of the UAN HQ. No one believes him and he is thrown in jail. 3 weeks later the world is shocked as what was once one of the most prosperous cities in the world, Hong Kong, is reduced to a crater as a result of Nova Bombs. The mysterious stranger known as Rox is immediately pulled from his cell and interrogated. Over the next few weeks he reveals Redman's plans, everything he says happens. He begins building a new base in Antarctica and breaks deeper into Asia. How could Rox know of this, is he really from the future or was he planted there by Redman?
Jean-Francois was always a man willing to take chances; he trusts this man from the future and lets him form his on squad of mutants and humans willing to fight against oppression. He forms a group of young people, humans and mutants in their teens and he begins training them for the days to come. They are known as Ragnarok, and they will become humanities best hope for a bright future. Rox sets up Ragnarok headquarters in Canada, right under Redman's nose. While PAR keeps Redman occupied in other parts of the world, Rox hopes to break into the heart of Redman's empire and destroy it.
The story of our young heroes begins. Ragnarok, young and inexperienced, they are willing to risk their lives to protect others.
