The year is 2577, 500 years after a Nuclear War that ended the Age of the Nation-State. Now, the world is split between Independents; settlements and towns living a hardscrabble life in the wastelands, and the Ruling Corporations, eight large organizations that have seized large portions of the planet and its people for themselves. The majority of the Ruling Corporations' personnel are tyrannical and arbitrary, twisted by long isolation from the masses whose work supports their way of life. The average person in Corporate territory lives in fear, bowed down by heavy burdens in a soulless environment, before a quick and painful death.

Complicating the picture are the Neural Combatants (NCs), giant humanoid machines left behind by the nations of the world before everything burned in nuclear fire. Using technology that binds together brain and machine, all NCs have Cores that cannot be duplicated by even the most advanced Corporation; these Cores, when attached to a body, allow the pilot to conduct feats of strength and speed that borders on the supernatural. In essence, Neural Combatants use technology that makes Mecha work; the impractical made practical. The more NC Cores a Corporation has, the better they are in the constant warfare that covers the planet today.

But NCs are also what allow Independents to maintain their remaining autonomy, and Mercenaries to operate without excessive restrictions from the MegaCorps. One such outfit of Mercenaries is the Electrum Company, a motley group of veteran pilots from various Independents, mid-level defectors from the MegaCorps, and new recruits that show exceptional potential as pilots. Leased the island of [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socotra]Socotra[/url] by the rulers of the Middle East, Al-Amir Group of Companies (descended from the Agha Khan Development Network), the Electrum Company is tasked with doing various jobs for whoever can pay; whether they be Independent or MegaCorp.

In essence, you guys are Mecha Pilots-for-hire who do missions for various savory and unsavory parties and may or may not stumble into a conspiracy that can shake up the whole world.

[B]Rules[/b]

1.) No godmoding, metagaming, or mary sues.
2.) Be civil.
3.) No Anti-LGBT stuff.
4.) Post length is five sentences minimum, but longer posts are encouraged, of course. GMs are also bound by this rule.
5.) If your character is a spy trying to bring down the Electrum Company, please give the other PCs a chance to discover you, and be helpful to them when you can; we only have one group of PCs and one main base, and being obstructive to them IC will reduce their fun OOC.
6.) Consult the Lore Thread (linked under the picture) if you want to know more about how NCs, Independents, and Corporations work!
