[b]Essential Setting Info[/b][hr][u]Earth, the Illuminati and You[/u]

The year is 21XX. Advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence have catapulted the civilized world into a tentative prosperity, and for those who can afford it, the quality of life has never been better. There is some question about those who are left over, but for the most part, they scrape by without too many complaints. The entertainment industry is going stronger than ever, and humanity's larger-than-life idols hold a great deal of sway over social issues, putting in a unique and powerful position.

There's also a Hotel on the moon.

All of this is the result of countless years of careful planning and puppeting by a certain society of powerful individuals, who seek to dominate the planet.

The Illuminati.

Now hidden in plain sight at the forefront of all of the major global powers in the world, this shadowy organisation is at the height of its power, and is seeking to put into motion its final plans. The exact details of these plans are unknown, but needless to say, they are not good news for humanity. Unless they want to be controlled by a bunch of creeps in jackets. 

[u]Politics and Stuff[/u]

In the year 20XX, Russia spontaneously collapsed into heavily armed chaos. At the same time, in the depths of Argentina, Hitler's historic vision is reborn. These two events, followed by several other less significant ones, signaled the start of a brief and bloody World War Three. The end result: The drastic expansion of Japan's power in the East, accompanied by the weakening of China's, and the American expansion into most of South America.

Even after the war, there are still armed conflicts in several locations around the world. In the Middle-East, conflict seems to rage on perpetually. A problem that should have been solved decades ago remains as hot as ever in 21XX, despite countless attempts to "End the fighting once and for all".

Everything else is pretty much the same as ever. Except for North Korea. It's gone.

[u]The Actual Important Stuff (ANGELS and TENSHI)[/u]

ANGELS are specialized infiltration robots that have been in operation for the last ten years, under the careful observation of the creatively named and highly secretive TENSHI project. The goal was to develop and utilize the ANGELS in order to eliminate high-priority enemies of Japan and to suppress political unrest through the subtle application of force. They acted in a mostly independent manner, being covered for by a certain branch of the Japanese military that was the source of much of their funding and support.

The results of the project were largely successful, although their usage did not go completely unnoticed by the general public. In particular, there was a sudden surge of public interest following an incident at an Elementary School, which almost resulted in the exposure of the entire project to the public eye. Thankfully, they managed to cover it up successfully, although the berserk model was never actually recovered from the accident.

However, as time progressed, the organization began to notice that the amount of support being poured into their operations was growing to be unusual. It was at about this time that their operations were moved to Hawaii, where they were shocked to discover that there was another, identical team working out of the United States, who they had been cooperating with without even realizing it.

It was there that they were briefed on the true nature of their mission. They weren't just developing secret weapons for Japan, they were developing the weapons that would hopefully save the future of humankind as a whole. For there was a hidden, deadly threat rapidly gathering power in the background. A secret society of really bad dudes, who could mean nothing but trouble for the human race.

It was there that the Special Task Force was formed in its truest form.
