Basic rundown:

It's the future. Humans still live on earth, but have expanded to the moon, and several massive space stations. No further, however, than that. Most governments have been dissolved in favor of a singular race-wide Democratic Monarchy. (Kings of Queens elected by the people. They hold all the power of your average medieval king, but the people -can- vote to overrule them, or remove them from the throne.) For the most part, people are happy with this. Most modern-day issues are resolved- LGBT community is considered as normal as straight people, average lifespan remains about the same, though people stay healthy longer into those years, the ridiculous number of different money types have been turned into one global "Credits" scale. Things of that general nature. Medicine has advanced, weaponry is at battery-powered levels. (For instance, a pistol would run on energy clips.) We aren't talking star-wars type laser beams, though. Think more along the lines of Mass Effect, if you've played that game. XD The second and third games, though, rather than the first. Love all three, like the weapons system in the latter two more.

Anyhow, like any system, while it is generally accepted there -are- people who fight against it. And there are people who fight for it. We would be playing as either "The New Templars", more or less the royal elite military, or "The Free Men", a group of anarchists fighters. Unlike the usual rebel group, the free men are actually large, well funded, well armed, and dangerous. Not -as- large or well funded as the New Templars, but close enough that the war between them has been long. Very long. The Free Men inhabit several Lunar colonies, as well as a single Space Station. They come in at approximately three billion people between the station, the colonies, and the followers still on Earth, only a third of that number making up their effective military force- However, it's a -very- effective third.

The World Monarchy holds its numbers at closer to five billion among Earth, the other stations, and the Moon, two and a half billion of those making up their effective military. However, despite the number differences, the war has been pretty back and forth, neither side gaining or losing much over the past century.


As I said, we would be playing as members of the military of -either side- of this war. More specifically, members of the two most well known task forces of each- The Grand Knights of the New Templars, or The Beacons of The Free Men. Each force is made up of a hundred or so of the best of the best among each military, split into a good number of individual fireteams. Certain fireteams from each group have longstanding rivalries between each other. We'll be in two such teams. Said teams number from two to six people, so depending on how many people we get to join, we'll see about the team sizes. XD

The plot and such things will be figured out once I have some interest. But know that it will generally be action packed and full of badass, plenty of character development, and general fun.
