I am interested in this RP. For a time period, how about 500 years after the apocalypse. The plasma or laser technology could be produced in one mini-city that is based around a research center. The people who are there would be scientists who survived after the fall and started their own society. They create this technology to further advancement for life, possibly terraforming Earth to previous conditions. This would most likely be the society where the super rich people live. There are corrupt members of their society who sell/barter this technology to the highest bidders. The ones the technology is sold to would be part of the wild west town (~800 people). Then there would be the single building occupied by the cult who used radiation magic. This magic would be very elementalish and consumed the energy of the people using it. The last "society" would be the far off forest with the stage four werewolves. Since they have the traits of wolves and humans they would consider themselves superior creatures.

The mini-city: This would be in the middle of valley. There's the research center, occupied by scientists, surrounded by fortresses and castles, occupied by the rich people. The houses would be powered by the research center since it produces energy and technology. They would be guarded by the third stage slave werewolves. Second stage werewolves would be the farmers and laborers.

The "western" town: This would be on the plain south of the valley. Arid environment. The town would be based on the barter system. No real law system here. People here would raid tribes that existed around the land for food, goods, etc. I don't have much lore to go for this area. Feel free to elaborate.

The cult: The tower for the cult is in the mountains. The leader would most likely be at the top using his/her magic to power the tower and distributing it to others. Hierarchical system: leader > "family" > elites > specialists > fodder. The leader would have mastered their powers over the last 500 years, can basically do anything. Family would be the first ones to be given the radiation magic. They are very knowledgable and are also the leader's personal guard. Elites would be highly trained in all fields of the radiation powers. Specialists would master one aspect of the powers. fodder would have basic knowledge of one to all of the radiation powers and are, well, fodder, laborers, and servants. (This is my favorite aspect so far and I would most likely create a character in this area of the RP)

Werewolf society: Exist in a forest on the opposite side of the plain from the mountains. They believe they are superior to humans and rivals of the cult. Having lived in secret for so long they have had much time to plan and form a small army. Their time to strike is near. With their knowledge they have created weapons and armor suited for their strength and agility. Because of the radiation in their blood, the weapons and armor would be endowed with special enhancements (example: wearable wolverine like claws can poison, or armor resists energy attacks, etc.).

Would love to get this started!! PM me if you would like
