In AD 2137, the uneasy peace between the Global Federation and the Eastern Union came to an abrupt end. The Balkhash IV nuclear reactor was sabotaged, and the resulting explosion killed over 300,000 people - most of them Global Federation citizens. Consequently, the Eastern Union was faced with an ultimatum: decommission its remaining nuclear reactors within two years, or face war. Fearing the consequences, some 56 million people fled elsewhere in the Solar System: most went to the Moon, some went to Mars, and a few went to the asteroids or the moons of Jupiter. Sadly, their fears proved to be well-founded - as, by AD 2139, the Eastern Federation's reactors were still fully operational, and the Global Confederation made good on its threats to declare total war. Immediately, the two sides launched their nuclear arsenals at one another... and at once, the planet which had hosted life for billions of years had been transformed into a frozen, barely-hospitable tomb. Those who weren't vaporised by the nuclear warheads themselves soon succumbed to the resulting lawlessness, loss of infrastructure, and nuclear winter. When all was said and done, fewer than 1 million people remained alive on Earth: only the most remote tribal communities survived.
Of course, the fortunes of those who fled proved to be rather happier. A few of the new colonies ended up failing; however, many survived and thrived over the course of the decades. By AD 2400, the Solar System's human population had once again exceeded 1 billion - with almost 900 million people living on a fully-terraformed Moon; 100 million living on Mars; roughly 200,000 on each large asteroid; and 100,000 on each of the four main moons of Jupiter. Sadly, Earth remained a shadow of its former self: the population was recovering, aided by surviving examples of old Earth's technology, but the rebuilding was painfully slow: over 250 years after the cataclysm, Earth's population remained under 20 million.
Over on Ganymede, King Kyle and Queen Fiona were well aware of this unhappy situation - and their hearts ached for the unfortunate inhabitants of this once-vibrant planet. Consequently, they sent two of their children - 33-year-old Prince Derek, and 28-year-old Princess Claire - on a mission to old Earth, to establish a line of communication with Ganymede; deliver the technology which had been researched there over the past 26 decades; and help to restore the planet to its former glory.
So, here are the rules for this RPG:
Enjoy !

So, here are the rules for this RPG:
- This RPG takes place in the Wulfric Castle universe (specifically, in the c-timeline). However, this era in the universe's history remains relatively unexplored, so all you'll need to know is what's already been re-established in the above paragraphs. You can read through the timeline if you wish, but it isn't "required reading" by any means: it's just if you want further backstory .
- I will be playing as Prince Derek, and Megan will be playing as Princess Claire. There will be others with them on the spaceship; however, these will all be new characters (specifically, yours ).
- In order to join, simply fill out the following (or, if you've already posted your character's bio elsewhere, link to that):
Quote:Name: Derek Lennart-Lewis
Age: 33
Gender: Male
Physical description: Has medium-length, untidy brown hair, with a silver headband in order to specify his rank. On his face, he has a messy moustache and beard, and large chocolate-brown eyes. He usually wears a bright red robe, emblazoned with the traditional insignia of Wulfric Castle.
Personality: Can be quite temperamental, and often comes across to people as overly strict. However, he does have a softer side, and even when he is firm with people, it's because he ultimately wants what's best for them.
Skills and Powers: Has a small amount of latent healing power in his thumb. However, doesn't really know how to channel it very well: he's not really able to use it for anything more than fixing paper cuts, or repairing cracks in walls.
- We'll begin in a week's time, or when we have four sign-ups (whichever happens first).
Enjoy !
