The Story:
The Ark. Once a shining beacon of hope in desperate world, became a war torn battlefield where two factions fought for total control. The Resistance, a group of renegades who wished to aid the Ark and distribute the it's resources equally, and The Security, the Ark’s police force who wished to establish peace, order and conserve the remaining resources.
After years of fighting without a victor, both sides slowly weakened and began to fall apart. There was no winner, no loser, only heavy casualties. However, from the ruins of the war, a new force emerged to take control of the Ark, known as The Mercenaries. They were an elite group of the best of the best from both factions, tired of fighting a pointless war. There advanced combat knowledge, skills, and equipment allowed them to annihilate anyone that stood in there way.
There Prime Objective: The Ark control tower located within the capitol. The founders, knowing of there oncoming defeat, quickly retreated and escaped the Ark on board all security helicopters and patrol boats, leaving whatever was left of the police force to die. As the Mercanaries descended upon the capitol, the security forces threw down there weapons and surrendered. The Mercanaries showed them mercy, and when they finally gained took over tower, all of the resources on the Ark came under there control. They began to distribute whatever was being made to the surviving inhabitants, and tried finding new ways to increase resource revenue. The Ark finally had leaders worthy of the title.
However, as fate would have it, this peace did not last long. A few months after the takeover, a massive Tsunami ripped the Ark from its place, setting it adrift into the open sea. The utopia, day by day, grew closer and closer to shore. No one had any idea what awaited them upon the mainland...
Upon reaching the coast, everyone on board could see what lay left of the destroyed world. An entire city sat in ruins, destruction across the landscape, and the havoc and chaos of this new world deafened there ears. But they were helpless to control the Ark, and could only watch as the horizon drew closer..
There landing did not occur peacefully, for another Tsunami struck the already damaged Ark and sent it hurdling onto shore, most of its inhabitants washed away into the new city. Whoever managed to stay aboard awoke to half of the Ark, including the capitol, destroyed, and whatever lay left on shore. They had rejoined the mainland, but at what price, nobody knew..
The Plot:
You are a member of this new world, either a survivor of the Ark, or a "citizen" of Dystopia. Everything you used to know is gone, and you live in a lawless frontier. The government has been abolished, gangs and factions are fighting for control, everything is in chaos. Where do you fit? Are you trying to help rebuild the Ark, fighting to take control for your gang, or a lone mercenary working for the highest payer? This is your story to tell....
Getting The Info:
There are several locations and factions within the RP, here are a few major ones..
Factions:
The Black Knights: A powerhouse gang, they have a large selection of members, control most of the inner city territory, and wear full black. They are deadly killers, and anyone who trespasses is usually shot on sight.
The Gorillas: A small, military style like gang who specialize in gurilla type warfare. They are the rebels of the new world, and are open to new members joining there ranks. They operate out of several outposts around the city and attempt to free the people, killing all factions in the process.
The Scorpions: A group of outer city thugs, they do nothing but terrorize the weak and innocent. They will often raid small houses and traveling parties, and are well known for
Sons of Anarchy: A religious group(containing only men) who believe in quelling the world of its chaos, The Sons of Anarchy have become the "White Knights" and frequently fight against the other factions. They tend to hire mercenaries to assist them in there cause, and have been at war with The Black Knights for several years. They operate out of a large Brothel inside the city, and are one of the few places the Black Knights have been unable to conquer. They also follow there own set of rules, laws, and religion.
Daughters of Chaos: A women only group which was created in contrast to the "Sons of Anarchy" because of there men only rule. They are not nuns or priests but ruthless killers who kill those who sin and do it with much ease. They have control over a large section of the inner city and are usually left in isolation by nearby factions.
The Outcasts: These are the last remaining members of the Ark, who protect what is left of it from outside forces. They live in solitude, but must send scavengers out to acquire much needed supplies for they are unable to produce there own. However, they have split into two sides, one who wish to restore the Ark to its former glory, and the other wishes to leave the rusty old tub to sink and expand out into the new world.
