INTRO:
BY ORDER OF PRESIDENT ANDERSON: 9/4/45
As you all know, we are the last country remaining in this great war. Human refuges have overwhelmed the landscape. We must evacuate, as the enemy will soon be in our back yard. I am ordering all merchant ships to depart eastwards, and sail until you find either land or run out of fuel. All humans that can fit safely on the ships are ordered to board ASAP. Navy craft will escort them until they enter international waters. If you have enough fuel, you will reach a mostly uncharted continent. It has been held secret for the last two hundred years by this county and this country alone. When the continent is reached, you will beach all ships, and scrap them for use in construction. In the event that a ship is followed, they are orderer to destroy any and all paperwork, and all civilians are to be prepared to evacuate. Said merchant ship will then proceed to drive all ahead into the attacking vessel, and detonate the explosives that are packed into the bow of the ship when it impacts. This continent is humanities last hope. All scientists, engineers, developers, and teachers are to be the first to board, as they will be needed to ensure that we continue to thrive. Hopefully, free humans will find this in the future. When you do, commandeer a ship and seek out the new world. When they reach the new world, the inhabitants are to head out and reclaim the mother-land. You are our last hope of survival.
I bid you good luck, and God bless you all.

This was the last recorded order of Democratic Republic of Sterling, which was once humanity's last hold point in the developed world. The RP is based on the planet Herot. It is inhabited by two dominant species, humans, and (you'll NEVER guess what the other group is) Keidran
In 1934 (technology similar to WWII earth for humans, WWI for Keidran), the Independent State of Skomer invaded the Human half of Schooner Island. This launched the humans and the keidran into a massive war. Immediately after the invasion, Berengia and Coreigh attacked Praslin Empire and Socotia. Socotia was almost immediately under the control of the keidran due to it's weak military and already unstable government. The Powyr Union and ISS also attacked the Praslin Empire. The PE, Curiouse, and South Curiouse launched a counter offensive, and managed to reclaim some land. However the anthros responded with another attack and took over South Curiouse. At this point, the Democratic Republic of Sterling, which had remained neutral, launched a massive attack on the ISS, and claimed large amounts of land. The PU also pushed north on the PE and Curiouse. Both attacks were a success. The battle then went into close quarters around 1940. The humans were pushed back slowly but surely due to the superior numbers (though much less advanced equipment) of the Keidran. Soon Praslin and The DRS were all that was left, and Praslin was about to fall. The anthro forces then prepared to launch a massive attack an the DRS. Finding this out, the president issued the order to evacuate and head east by sea until death or land is reached. As the humans retreater, much of the force wass diverted to protect it until it is out of range of the coastal water keidran ships (they aren't really the sea going type). Soon, the last ship leaves, and the DRS proceeds to fall in 1948. On eighth of the population made if off the continent, and 3/4 of that made it out of the war zone. The rest of the population was enslaved, and a few thousand made it into the old subways, and sealed themselves off, and plotted revenge.
It is now 2064 technology is similar to the United States in 1995, minus space travel and global exploration (the Keidran and humans on the main land do not know of the other continent's existence, unless they are one of the 37 attacking humans). A group of free humans in the underground followed an unexplored section of the subway and stumbled onto what was once a bunker for the old government. Reading the information from the former president, plans began to stow away on and commandeer a combo ship (a combination of a passenger ship and cargo ship). Weapons were built up, and human rebellions were reduced to lower any suspicion of an attack. Using a high ranking pro human keidran, they managed to smuggle the weapons onto a ship, the CS Queen Of The Sea, and stow away. The ship was heading south around the continent to the other side. After a couple of days at sea, they were far enough away, and a storm hit. The night watch had just went to bed, and there was an hour gap in the watch. The humans, broke out of their boxes, got the machine guns, and took over the engine room. They proceeded to shut down power to the ship, and most importantly, the radio transmitters, so only an SOS beacon was transmitting. Then the group of thirty or so humans managed to hold off a weak attack from the security force, and proceeded to take control of the bridge. The human slaves in steerage were released and the keidran passengers were locked there in their place and kept as hostages, tho their luggage and several of them were thrown overboard with various deck furniture to make it appear as tho the ship had sunk. All of the crew was tossed overboard or shot. After this, the Queen returned to full steam ahead, due east, but made sure the any communication with the outside world remained closed. About 7/8 of the way there, the struck a mine a ruptured a compartment, however she stayed afloat. The ship is now in view of the coastline of the eastern continent, under full control of the well armed humans. An old DRS flag has been raised, and she is sailing all ahead towards the last know destination of humanity.
You can be a human or a keidran, and can be in the "Old World" (not in play for a while), "New World" (human only) or on the CS Queen of the Sea. Half-breeds do exist, but they aren't very common. If you plan to be human in the new world, you can't really start playing until the ship reaches port, which won't take that long. Keidran are in steerage, as I stated, and under constant watch by the free humans and released slaves, numbering about four hundred total. The human pirates, I guess it the word for them, all are armed, but only a few of the slaves are.
There is no magic or anything like that, and I would prefer that no one be government spies for the anthros, as their government of the Independent States of Skomer (where the Queen of the Sea is from) are basically oblivious to the free humans, thinking they are a few escaped slaves, and haven't monitored them in at least twenty years. Remember that the captives were searched, and any weapons were removed, and the a few specks are coming from the shore (human ships checking out the unidentified vessil).
If there are any questions, feel free to ask.

Name: Josef Aldersgate
Age: 31
Race: Free, Old World Human
Physical Description: 5' 11", light brown hair cut fairly short, blue eyes, light skin. Wears a green army jacket and pants (with the patches ripped off) he stole from a Keidran soldier years earlier, and an ancient pair of boots probably made at the end of the last war (as Keidran don't wear shoes).
Equipment: Old pistol with eight shots, knife, M-16 with a bayonet, four old frag grenades (only two still work), and a bomb made from jarred peas.
Occupation: Leading human offensive on Queen of the Sea
Brief Bio: Josef was born from a long line of fighters. His distant grand-father had fought in the war all those years ago, and every member of the family after him had hated and fought Keidran. Josef was leading an expedition with a group of humans when he found the old presidential orders. He felt it his duty to follow out on them, and planned and executed the attack on the Queen of the Sea.
