       The Story So Far:
       The year is 3022. As one will notice of the current world,
       things have not gone well as of late. The first major problem
       that started the Earth's current issues was the eruption of the
       Yellowstone Caldera super-volcano. This one act made most of
       North America uninhabitable, forcing most of the people in North
       America to flee. Not even machines and reploids working on the
       problem were able to solve it before the super volcano erupted.
       However, this was only the beginning as this event was only the
       beginning of a string of natural disasters, including a meteor
       shower which devastated much of North and South America, leaving
       most of that portion of the world uninhabitable due to the
       volcanic ash, magma/lava and the nuclear reactors that granted
       power to cities having gone nuclear without anyone to maintain
       them.
       This set off another chain of disasters, even reaching the other
       side of the world, reducing man-kinds ability to grow food and
       maintain standard living. Soon, the Asian and European
       continents became the only places inhabited, with Africa mostly
       abandoned due to the desert's now radical temperature changes
       after the climates changed in the world. With the deserts
       temperatures ranging from -60 at night to 145 during the day,
       the desert quickly became an unlivable region for most who could
       not handle such rapid climate changes and the harsh climate.
       The one good thing to come out of the events though, was that
       humans, robots/machines and supernaturals had been forced to put
       aside their own wars and hatreds towards each other, as
       everything had halted when natural disasters forced them to work
       together. For the first time in history, true peace had finally
       been achieved between all races through working together.
       However, this led to the last problem. A human scientist named
       Dr. Herald Black. Dr. Black, using a legion of the newest
       generation supernatural hunter reploids, Maverick Hunters and
       those supernaturals and humans on his side took over what was
       left of society in order to rebuild. The problem, though, was
       that he refused to give up control once rebuilding had started.
       Soon, Dr. Black controlled most of the livable territory on the
       Asian Continent. Those who didn't pledge their loyalty to Dr.
       Black were hunted down and killed.
       Now Dr. Black controls most of the resources left in the world,
       and those who don't submit have tried to find territories where
       they can continue to find supplies and resources, which there
       aren't too many unclaimed resources left. There is hope, as
       resistance groups have appeared all over the livable territories
       and maintain alliances with small groups with resources. While
       life for the resistance is not pleasant, they are only trying to
       figure out how to stop Dr. Black and try to bring down his
       regime of fear. Dr. Black has even managed to close the gates of
       Heaven and Hell, thanks to his forces getting the angel and
       demon tablets after killing both of their guardians. Now, angels
       and demons are either trapped on earth, or trapped in Heaven or
       Hell depending on where they were when the incidents occurred.
       Currently, the afterlife is only accessible by Soul Reapers,
       Death Wraiths, and Grim Reapers, and no other creature is allows
       to travel between realms, making Heaven and Hell almost
       completely inaccessible to anyone not dead and being sent there.
       The only places left that are currently somewhat livable outside
       of Dr. Black's regions are the Japan regions, and the Australian
       regions. However, the area known as the Japanese Islands are
       barely inhabited, with only a few small cities able to survive
       due to the contamination of the earth and lack of resources. The
       Australian region has a few cities, but with heavy mutations of
       creatures there over the years, the area is a death trap for
       humans and supernaturals alike with one of the biggest and more
       interesting threats being creatures known as the Fenrirs and the
       Byakko, which are 3 story sized wolves and white tigers that
       have taken most of Australia as their territories, led by two 10
       story leaders of both races who have so far, proven too much for
       most supernaturals and humans to handle. The monsters attack
       anyone on site, with most of them having supernatural abilities
       and being able to even kill the strongest of supernaturals (More
       information coming soon on the Byakko and Fenrirs)
       For the first time, supernaturals, humans and machines have
       worked together, and no one cares what someone is. However,
       these days, the only question is whether their loyalties are to
       Dr. Black or to fighting Dr. Black. Many supernatural resistance
       groups were destroyed, like Red Moon, Black Sun and even a
       rebuilt Ragnorok. Now what's left is trying to build a final
       resistance group to take on Dr. Black. After Dr. Black recovered
       meteors from the meteor shower that destroyed much of the
       Americas, he found a new power source for his newest generation
       of supernatural hunter reploids that act as his police force and
       hunters to hunt down resistance groups. The power is simply
       referred to as "evil energy" due to the energy's dark nature.
       Areas of the World:
       - Dr. Black's Territory (Main Part of Asian Continent): This
       area is perhaps the largest livable area. This covers almost all
       of the livable area of Asia, and all of this territory is
       controlled by Dr. Black. This area has most of the world's
       available resources for living, with many of the cities being
       heavily protected by force fields and domes in order to protect
       it from any radiation or dangerous plagues that are carried on
       air currents. For the most part, Dr. Black's territory has the
       best standard of living, but those in these areas are expected
       to have absolute loyalty to Dr. Black. This area is under very
       strict rule, and anyone suspected of helping resistance groups
       is immediately hunted down and killed. Resistance groups tend to
       try and avoid living in this area, since Dr. Black's forces are
       extremely good at hunting down traitors and keep a very close
       eye on resources used for traitors supplying the resistance.
       - Space Station Alpha and Beta (Abandoned): During the natural
       disasters that plagued the world, the world tried to build space
       colonies to live on, hoping that they could move into space
       rather than try to survive on the world they believed was dying.
       These two space colonies, though, couldn't handle the amount of
       resources needed to keep the population alive, so most had to
       continue living on earth, as it took more manpower to keep the
       stations going than was gained from resources developed on the
       colonies. Now there are only two colonies that haven't either
       fallen back to earth or burned up in the atmosphere, which are
       Alpha and Beta. These stations are mostly abandoned these days,
       though some people still take ships to the colonies hoping to
       find left over resources or use what little resources are there.
       However, the biggest problem is that the power generated doesn't
       allow for enough creation of new resources to be worth it when
       there are better places in the world to take resources from.
       This area has the largest populations left in the known world.
       - Underground Railroads (Resistance Territories): The resistance
       has done their best to survive, and as they have, they've
       developed plenty of ways to try and get around. Among these are
       underground groups that live deep in underground cities. Most of
       this is outside of Black's territories, with the resistance
       having connections to smaller groups that live outside of the
       territories and have their own resources. Though most of these
       areas are small and usually can't sustain large populations. The
       Resistance operates by trying to steal resources from Dr.
       Black's territory, or using any other territories they can to
       try and get what they need to mount a final attack on Dr. Black
       and his forces. Luckily, the underground railroads, as they were
       termed, provide a lot of protection from the elements, and have
       managed to connect many cities in what is still livable in
       Europe. There are even some underground civilizations that have
       tried to build on retreating underground. Luckily, most of these
       underground areas also have mines where good resources are mined
       and used to help keep the city going.
       - Abandoned European Cities (Beware of Dangerous Creatures): In
       much of Europe, the area has become either unlivable or was part
       of the meteor storm which left much of the areas unlivable.
       However, in the aftermath, the cities are able to be traversed,
       but with one major problems. Radiation and evil energy has
       mutated the creatures that still live in these areas, making
       them much stronger and much more dangerous, making exploring
       these areas extremely difficult. Many of these creatures have
       even evolved to kill supernatural creatures and people, with
       some even being able to kill angels and demons. There are still
       some resources people can find in these areas if they are lucky,
       such as certain canned goods that are still usable, or certain
       items like guns and tech if they haven't been too damaged. Just
       be careful of the mutated creatures that live in this area, as
       they are not usually very friendly when people enter what they
       perceive as their territory.
       - Eurasia Nature Zones (Forbidden Territory): During one of the
       space colonies that fell to earth in one of the worse disasters,
       no one expected that nature preservation tech on the space
       colony was still functioning, allowing nature to return to the
       area. The plants that have sprouted in this territory have
       become resistance to radiation, as well as being able to survive
       without sunlight thanks to the machines still active in the
       area. This area is completely forbidden territory, even by Dr.
       Black's crew, due to the fact that this area is perhaps one of
       the only hopes for returning nature to the earth as the nature
       eventually spreads and starts covering more of the European and
       Asian continents. Animals have also taken up residence here, and
       the natural order has slowly started to re-balance and adapt. As
       such, humans, robots and supernaturals are forbidden from
       entering this area unless given explicit permission from the
       mass of groups that control the known governments of the world,
       which includes Dr. Black. Anyone else is usually killed by the
       area's guardians who hunt down anyone who trespasses in the
       area.
       - African Desert Zones (Dangerous Territory): Not only is this
       dangerous territory, but the environment has such rapid
       temperature changes and harsh climates that almost no one can
       survive here any longer. Even those with great adaptability
       usually can't adapt to the rapid changes and the harsh climates,
       especially with dangerous creatures who live in these regions
       who hunt down and eat anything they can find. This is a mostly
       unlivable territory, which is mostly desert. Those that travel
       through here often don't survive the hottest parts of the day
       without cooking alive or the coldest nights without freezing to
       death. And if the harsh climates don't get you, the mutated
       creatures will. This area has almost no resources due to it
       being mostly desert, as even the cities that were in the
       southern half of the continent are almost completely
       inaccessible except through the desert, and have mostly been
       destroyed.
       - Japan Islands (Mostly Small Neutral Zones): One of the only
       livable areas in the Asian continent not controlled by Dr.
       Black. There are small zones of population here and there, with
       most of them being pretty small in nature, and not large enough
       to sustain large populations. As such, Dr. Black hasn't done
       much in this territory, since most of Japan is just neutral, not
       getting involved in the fights between Dr. Black and the
       resistance groups. These areas are too small for Dr. Black to
       gain any resources from, so he typically leaves the areas alone,
       and the Japan Islands don't have the resources to support the
       resistance, so the resistance is often rejected from this
       territory. The area is just as dangerous as anywhere else, but
       the population has mostly managed to stay out of dangerous
       areas. And the populations are typically small enough to not be
       threats to some of the creatures in their territory, so they are
       mostly left alone by the monsters that lurk outside the cities.
       Though travel outside the cities tends to be dangerous.
       - Australian Territories (Dangerous Territory): This area is
       sparsely populated, and for good reason. This is perhaps one of
       the most popular areas for those that want to study the
       mutations of creatures, though a very dangerous place to do so.
       Most of the continent is controlled by the Fenrirs and the
       Byakko, two races of building sized creatures that now are quite
       numerous. Even supernaturals and reploids have a hard time
       surviving these creatures, who have evolved to take down even
       the toughest of humans, robots and supernaturals. For the most
       part, this area is very dangerous, as there are 15 feet tall
       bugs that devour people, and even more dangerous creatures. Many
       have tried to tame the Fenrirs and Byakko, but not even Dr.
       Black's forces could do so, making this a dangerous area. For
       the most part, this area is only unlivable due to the creatures
       there.
       - Seas and Oceans (Beware of radiation and ash): Very few people
       have developed ocean cities and cities to sit in the sea. This
       is a bit dangerous, due to the contamination of the sea, but
       thankfully, tech has made it much easier to decontaminate water
       to use as a resource. For the most part, the oceans are a
       dangerous place, as the areas must have domes and shields to
       protect them from the radiation and ash that still plagues much
       of the seas and oceans. Most cities populations cannot leave the
       cities they live in, and most have to deal with being out at sea
       all of the time. These cities aren't too big, due to not having
       the best agricultural tech to grow food, and cannot sustain a
       large population. These areas are controlled by special devices
       under the city which regulate their level and can even pull the
       cities underwater in times of crisis to try and handle harsh
       tides or tsunamis. The biggest threat in this is tech failure of
       the city itself, due to water's salt and other minerals in ocean
       water sometimes overwhelming filters, which can have devastating
       effects on the city if it is not dealt with. Luckily, the cities
       put a huge focus on their tech, and work to make sure everything
       works properly.
       - The Americas: The Unlivable Zones: Almost the entirety of
       North America and South America are completely unlivable. The
       volcanic ash, the meteor shower, and many other natural
       disasters have pretty much ruined this side of the world. This
       area cannot be traversed without heavy equipment and special
       shielding units to protect them from the elements. For the most
       part, there is nothing left in these zones that hasn't been
       destroyed by disasters or explosions of power plants and other
       areas that have become unstable due to lack of control by
       humans. This area is mostly abandoned, and the only time people
       come to this area is to either study the Yellowstone Caldera
       super volcano, or people who are trying to study the evil energy
       generated by meteors which are the most abundant in these zones.
       These areas have no life in them at all, not even animals, due
       to nothing being able to survive the radiated and ashy
       environments. And due to the massive heat and magma still being
       generated by the Caldera super volcano, no research settlements
       are built here, with most of their research done from the planes
       and ships that can fly over.
       Current Notable Groups:
       - Dr. Black's Forces: These forces are led by Dr. Black. Most of
       these forces live in Dr. Black's territory, or may venture
       outside to find new possible places of expansion for the
       territory. Dr. Black is a pretty brilliant scientist, and has a
       number of humans and supernaturals working for him, many of
       which are cybernetically enhanced. One of the bigger threats is
       the supernatural hunter reploids who work for Dr. Black, who are
       skilled enough to take on many higher level supernaturals. Dr.
       Black has plenty of forces at his disposal, and despite seeming
       like a senile old man, he is actually still very dangerous. And
       most dangerously is his closest bodyguard, Omega. Omega is the
       worst opponent anyone can face, and one of Dr. Black's greatest
       creations. Those who know or have seen Omega in action usually
       figure out quick that Dr. Black won't be easy to get to with him
       around.
       - The Resistance: There are many resistance groups spread over
       Europe, and Asia. Most of the groups have to scavenge for things
       like food, medicine or sometimes they have to steal it from Dr.
       Black's forces. For the most part, the Resistance groups have
       continued to mobilize and try to come up with a counter attack
       plan to Dr. Black. One of the larger groups is known as the
       Democratic Republic, who aims to create a democracy once Dr.
       Black is removed from power. The groups all want Dr. Black out
       of the picture, but cannot organize into larger groups due to
       the risk of being hunted down and destroyed. After the
       destruction of the Maverick Hunters, resistance groups have been
       careful about not building groups that might put them too far
       into the open where Dr. Black can easily wipe them out.
       - The Australian Liberation Front: This group is the group that
       lives on the edge of Australia. This group's main purpose is not
       getting involved with the fight against Dr. Black, but they are
       trying to study the Byakko and the Fenrirs. This group is made
       up mostly of scientists, and their created reploids to protect
       them from danger. There is a subsection of this group called the
       New Reploid Alliance that seeks to rebuild the Reploid Alliance
       that was destroyed by Dr. Black so that they can hopefully take
       on Dr. Black's forces alongside the resistance. However, this is
       secondary to their main goal, which is figuring out a way to
       liberate Australia from all the dangerous creatures, and hopes
       to figure out a way to either stop or drive out the Fenrirs and
       the Byakko. This group is mostly nonviolent, and operates in
       special labs near the coasts of Australia, since going too far
       inland is usually met by being attacked by the local Fenrirs and
       Byakkos.
       - The Japanese Islands Officiary: This is the neutral government
       that runs Japan. The Japanese government handles governing the
       Japanese Islands, as well as organizing the military to keep the
       towns safe from mutated monsters and from groups like Dr.
       Black's forces. The Japanese government doesn't ally with Dr.
       Black or with the Resistance, preferring to stay neutral. Unless
       one group makes a move against Japan, the Japanese government
       won't get involved. The Japanese are known for being
       technologically advanced in this day and age, and have some of
       the best neutral territories in the world despite the monsters
       that the military is often in constant fighting with. The
       Japanese government is pretty well respected by it's people, as
       they can't really afford to make questionable deals in the
       current day and age. While most people have a typical distrust
       of government, they at least know the government won't try to
       kill them for opposing, due to the Japanese government trying to
       be for the people, rather than working against the people since
       they feel fighting with their support is better than fighting
       without their support.
