It is the year 4468 AD. The world has been plunged into a global deluge that has swallowed most of the land on Earth. After a long struggle to survive the destructive weather across the planet for over 1,000 years, man has crept back into the spotlight.
The greenhouse effect has finally abated for the most part, leaving the world with few cities in the wake of the abominable storms and heat. In an effort to reclaim the world's losses, the remaining nations work together to salvage what remains of their world in hopes of survival for their people.
The change of the planet has also resulted in the shifting of the axis, changing life drastically as creatures evolve and mutate from the final war of nuclear proliferation. This war, the Ragnarök War, marked a new age of Earth.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In this RP, the planet's land mass has dwindled down to a mere 14% of the world. Only regions that were once mountains remain and most of life is based on the sea. Everybody works at something in this day and age to survive, be it a desalinizer, a salvager, or a hunter.
Desalinizers work to filter salt from the water to provide to the people, salvagers gather what they can from deep under the sea or in the ruins on land to build from, and hunters must seek places to build cities, fight off the wildlife, and protect the people from raiders.
Raiders are fringe groups of pirates who plunder cities and wish to revive the old ways of war using thermo-nuclear weapons to take the world over for themselves. Other raider groups simply wish to take what they please just to survive or make good trade money disguised as salvagers.

=======================================================================
Rules -
1. Follow the general RP etiquette rules, no killing, godmodding, bunny jacking, or unbalancing characters.
2. When making a character, please don't make the useless stereotypical darkly dressed, very tall, pretty strong, silent, mellow-dramatic mercenary. Once again, no Mary Sue characters. If you're really lost on how good you think your character is, go take the
Mary Sue Test. (Note, this is not a requirement, just a thing to save you the trouble of making a raging stereotypical character.)
3. For the love of god. If you're going to join, POST AT LEAST ONCE A DAY! You cannot begin to imagine how tired I am of making an RP and every mysteriously vanishes, visits their relative across the country, taking finals, mid terms, bitten by poisonous reptiles, or whatever during the climax of the situation. If you are going to not post once a day, notify me NOW. Not 5 days after you disappear and apologize. I'm sorry to those who I may be indirectly fielding this to, but rules are rules. We all want a smooth flowing RP that's not bogged down because we're worried about somebody who hasn't posted for a while and everyone else has. If you REALLY need to, post what hours you're on Two Kinds beneath your character. Once again, do not join if you can't keep up or have a lovely record of conveniently disappearing during the RP. Rant/rule over.
