THE WORLD THAT YOU KNOW
Earth was scorched by solar flares that thinned our atmosphere causing plant and animal life to head towards complete extinction. What water wasn’t lost to the void receded deep into the ground. Leaving behind an e ndless desert filled with radiation, massive sandstorms, and genetically modified or mutated creatures. Even though the damage was widespread it was not absolute. Small wasteland settlements are preyed upon by r aiders and slavers. In these settlements life is hard and resources are scarc., Most of the goods are delivered by h eavily armed and armored levitating Sand Barges that also offer passage to those that can afford it. In the corporately controlled mega-cities things are different. Paper money has been replaced by digital c urrency, stored on encrypted vault cards or chips. Bounty hunters use E ther to search for contracts as Hackers break into encrypted systems risking life itself to collect fragments of da ta. Android resistance groups control varying settlements, continuing to fight for freedom. Genetically engineered beings called Bioderms wander the Earth, side-by-side with their inferior human creators. Technology has advanced to the point where vehicles swiftly move about, utilizing levitation pads seeming to d efy gravity. The wealthy can essentially live forever; they protect their consciousness, backing themselves up o n encrypted digital servers or uploading themselves into cores. Cybernetic augmentations are widely used to enhance human abilities. Luminescent tattoos, hair and clothing c omplement the holographic screens and overlays that are everywhere. The smell of cooking food fills the s treets as punks exhale luminescent smoke. Work is plentiful as the corporate rulers wage war with one Ano ther, deploying augmented agents and towering battle mechs that stand ten meters tall. Join me in 2096. A d12 system.
