Premise:

Political: Humanity has continued to improve, and thrive for thousands of years, culminating in new technology, and weaponry. During these years, military powers have shifted, resulting in the Earth's most powerful Continent by the year 2500 A.D. being Europe, who achieved this position of power by bombing many major American capital cities until the United States were forced to surrender. With the success of this plan, Europe is currently attempting Global Domination through the random implementation of this attack method on unsuspecting Countries. With this plan set in motion, an era of peace for nearly 200 years has ended with the declaration of World War 3. A war which had been predicted (prior to its occurence) by many to be the "War to end all Wars". Third World countries still oppose ideas to industrialize.

Space: Meanwhile, in space, nothing has been the same since December 2012. In that one month, many stars (Including Alpha Centauri) collapsed in on themselves, and "died", causing a belt of black holes to form around the Earth's surrounding area of space. At the same time, the new clumps of mass distorted Earth's gravitational hold on the Moon, causing it to drift toward Mars. Upon impact, many asteroids were created, each being big enough to cover the Earth in dust if they successfully make impact with the Earth's crust. As a result, once every few months, said Asteroids must be destroyed once they drift too close to Earth's atmosphere. Since then, things have remained calm. However, now the Sun is showing the characteristics that the former stars had shown before collapsing.

Religion: All of the world's existing religions have survived the long centuries, and many new religions have formed. The current leaders being Immobilism (A religion emphasizing laziness), and Coitusism (A religion based on sexuality)

Flora and Fauna: Unfortunately, many of the animals of our time were poached, killed, or eaten. Most animal species still exist, yet are very rarely seen in most places, although whales, and sharks have been driven to total extinction. Notably, there are also very few plants, and trees in locations where industrialization has set in. In Third World Countries, however, plants and animals continue to thrive.

Transport: Disappointingly, cars still have not left the ground due to the Government's recently instilled focus on weaponry over day-to-day technology. Needless to say, many Anti-war lobbyists do not take this well.

Civilization: Most Nations have moved forward with industrialization, leaving Africa, and Antarctica as the only Continents with more Rural land than Urban land. Notably, India, Iran, and other eastern countries appear to have temporarily halted industrialization attempts, leaving them with many incomplete cities, and lots of vast forests, and deserts between each city. Most industrialized nations appear as American cities did circa 1999, again due to the preference of weapon building over upgrades to existing structures.

Weaponry: Weaponry has recieved drastically more signifigant upgrades, with ion tablets replacing bullets, and handheld miniature sawblades replacing knives. However, these new weapons are experimental, and flawed whereas older weapons carry with them a sense of near-certainty of their effectiveness. Newer weapons also carry a higher risk of malfunctioning, sometimes resulting in fatal injury to the user.

(Note - I will not be controlling any character in particular. I will be controlling NPCs and the story. If someone wants to be an in-game Co-DM, then make a request. I may join in if things get interesting enough, though.)

The 2012 thing made me laugh, I'm afraid I can't take this seriously now.

Done with edits.

@Densetsu: It depends on how well received this is.

Sounds cool, but what is the main plot? Taking over Europe? Protecting Earth from asteroids? Both?

You're basically trying to survive in these conditions, while trying to prevent any nation (Not just Europe) from conquering the Earth. Keep in mind that the balance of power may be subject to further shifting.

Hmm, so we just need to survive? And exactly how would we prevent a nation from taking over? Would we need to join the army or something?

Basically. Every continent will have an army (aside from America which is property of Europe), and you will be given an opportunity to choose a continent to represent at some point shortly after your introduction. (Or to start your own army)

Cool, i'd probably join this if it got started.

As long as I can be a panda :wee:

Okay, just clarifying that I wasn't serious about needing to be a panda.

Good, but has anything other than weaponry changed at all?

Space, Political issues, and the Ecosystem were heavily affected by the time elapsed.

Well, life support has been upgraded, as well as most forms of light weaponry, and certain nations have developed Barrier based Defense Systems.

To elaborate any further on life support, and the various forms of upgraded weaponry would spoil less important parts of the story.

Although I can calmly say that Europe has developed a Barrier based Missile Defense System.
