The war was so devastating that the entire world essenttially had to 'start again' with civilisation. Soon most resources, cultures and gorvernments simply melted away. The notable thing about this massive war is that it was fought almost entirely in the air, but after almost a century of vicious world wide air battles most military technology was gone, and the nations lacked the resources to keep building more, also many great military engineers were executed and the knowledge and skill to build aircraft began to fade away. But hidden deep in undiscovered bunkers from the 20th century lies prototypes of war time aircraft, specifically from the 1920s 1940s and 1990s, the aerial dogfight was reborn and the fighter pilot entered a new era........[/center] [center][h2]Global Conflicts[/h2][/center] War records arent entirely reliable as there is very litte regulation and accurate record keeping in the post apocalyptic world. But it is widely recognised that the global conflicts started around 2090 when the state of Texas wanted independence from the rest of the U.S. to become an independent military state. Somewhere in that demand they began a war with Nevada, while the rest of the U.S. stayed out of it. This was until Canada became involved to directly challenge Texas (now branded the Lone Star Land). Then United states turned into a bit of a frenzy as many states began forming their own coalitions and entire north american continent erupted into civil war. During the next century many countries, states and nations were absolutely destroyed and many able fighter pilots began starting their own factions, crews and criminal gangs. All around the rest of the world many former nations began to split off and form independent military organisations. The word as many knew it was essentially over. There was only chaos, crime and conflict now. [hider=United States Faction Map] Many thanks to [@bluetommy2] for the map!

In 2204 A team of Canadian expert pilots named the [b]Sky Warriors[/b] took it upon themselves to take Texas head on in a secret mission to attempt to end the north American war. There efforts were the stuff of legend, during their campaign they overthrew a dangerous Mexican general who was allied with Texas. And managed to destroy key bases in Kentucky which in turn liberated South Carolina (who were in bitter war with each other). Despite there only being 5 of them, they did more than the entire Massachusetts Army did (one of the last real opponents to Texas in America). Though eventually the brave sky warriors were killed in mysterious indecent that nobody knows the full details of. [i]This story was mainly as a backgroun flavour for the main RP, but there is potential for a prequel RP if anyone is interested.[/i] [u][b]New Sky Warriors[/b][/u] 9 Years after the Sky Warriors were presumed dead, the team's scanner [b]Roland Shaw[/b] emerged alive and active as a pilot, still trying to do good in the world after the death of his team. He teamed up with the [b]Albion Avengers[/b] a British organization looking to rebuild civilization around the world and contracted Roland Shaw to fly to Las Vegas to secure the territory for a major city reconstruction. To help in the effort, Roland and the AA hired a number of individuals from around the world to join him in this mission, along with Roland, they would become the new Sky Warriors.

She is a very distant descendant of the notorious Red Baron and styles her new identity after him as [color=9e0b0f][b]The Red Baroness[/b][/color]. She decides to lead her own deadly mercenary crew to take revenge on whoever she thinks deserves it, and dubs them, the [b]Blood Wings[/b] a more violent and chaotic counterpart to the noble Sky Warriors.

Also to fight off a vicious Warlord from Europe looking to take over New York. [i]This RP is a new story that is only for 4 players and will be based around operations mainly in the North American continent.[/i] (WIP) [i]I will be adding more possible stories for the Sky Warriors Extended Universe as I really want to build a proper continuity, let me know if you have any ideas for stories for the universe, or if you would like to take part in an existing idea.[/i] [center][h2]Key Figures [/h2][/center] [hider=The Last Sky Warrior, Roland Shaw] [b]Name:[/b] Roland 'Dynamo' Shaw [b]Age:[/b] 39 [b]Height:[/b] 5'11 [b]Weight:[/b] 177 [b]Pilot Class:[/b] [b]Nationality:[/b] Canadian [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/a8/85/95/a88595a14c14eb1055f59112741e36bc.jpg[/img] [b]Bio:[/b] Roland Shaw was an orphan at the age of 10, his parents who were both doctors were killed in the north american war when Montreal was bombed by the Indpendent State of Texas. Roland remembered being rushed away into an emergency bunker as he watched vicious texan bombers destroy his hometown and everyone he knew with it. This experience shaped him into a determined young man, and joined the canadian army as a fighter pilot as early as he could. He had many successful tours fighting in Texas and Arizona, but soon felt like he wasn't doing enough for the greater good, he was simply blowing up planes. He wanted mankind to rebuild and become even a fraction of what it was before. He then joined the Toronto Air Militia and met 4 other pilots who would be known as the [b]Sky Warriors[/b] until their supposed death, before Roland resurfaced as indeed being alive. Since then he has become somewhat of a drifter, collecting as much information as he can about the world to try and put it back together. His most recent discovery was the Nevada city of 'Neon Haven' and what it could mean for mankind......

With her father she investigated their family tree when she was only 7, fascinated by all the men and women in her ancestry, they went all the way back to the 1900s and they found someone very interesting [i][b]Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen[/b][/i] Also known as [b][i][color=9e0b0f]The Red Baron[/color][/i][/b] Hilda and her father both became pilot enthusiasts, and she enrolled in junior flight school as early as she could, they had a picture of the Red Baron hung almost everywhere in the house. Hilda's father was working on a present for his daughter a reconstructed version of the Red Baron's famous craft, but built with modern technology and capabilities, it became his obsession and he wanted only the best for his daughter. Sadly he would never get to present it to her, he was killed in an assassination by the west europe coalition for unknown reasons, everyone knew about it, but nothing could be done. No justice could be taken. But Hilda wouldn't except that, she finished flight school at the top of her class with vicious determination. And on her 16th birthday she investigated her fathers death only to find his secret garage where he hid it, the Red Baron Masterpiece, with her eyes filled with tears she jumped in the craft and took off, angry and wild, she is now known as a demon of skies, one of the best pilots on the planet deadly and unpredictable attacking pilots everywhere, now with a twisted sense of duty to become the Red Baron reincarnated.
