The year is 2015, and everything seems normal, that is until someone spots a giant meteor heading towards Earth. Given its projected speed and size, not only would it be here by the end of the week, but it would be big enough to destroy the world. Of course, during this week, the human race launched almost every missile it had at the thing, to absolutely no effect, and the only clue as to how we might destroy the meteor was some weird, glowing symbols on it. Unfortunately, said glowing symbols weren't a weak point, or weren't a weak enough point, since, of course, they tried attacking the glowing part, first. It seemed like the world was going to end, there was only one day left, and nobody was coming up with any ideas on how to stop it. That night, at around midnight, someone ran into the formerly closed-off, secret, underground military strategy room with a strange artifact... it was shaped like an eight-headed dragon, and appeared to be made of gold, though, its weight wouldn't even come close to matching the weight of gold... the artifact seemed to have the same symbols on it, and with only one missile, and no other plans, they strapped the thing to the world's last missile, and shot it out to hit the meteor.
Somehow... that did it. The meteor was now a weird, dark dust in the sky, and the human race gets to live another day, right? Well... unfortunately, due to completely unknown causes most likely related to the artifact, the meteor, the dust it became, or all three, everyone left on Earth started to change into strange creatures, some of which were only seen or spoken of as myths, or legends. This, in addition to a lot of people thinking the world was coming to an end this week, caused a TON of chaos... people just started breaking the law, and the police weren't even enforcing it... things were broken, stolen, shot, killed, seriously injured... you name it. Not only does magic suddenly exist, but guns have become a rare commodity, either taken and destroyed, or hoarded by some people who used to sell them... though, usually they were hoarded by gun salesmen, only to be taken and destroyed for almost no reason, afterwards. This is where you come in, waking up to what you thought was going to be the end for you, your family, and all of your friends... and probably surprised at being alive, if completely transformed.
On a less story-related note, I've actually tried this RP a few times before, and it failed due to a couple different reasons that might not be present in this one, so... anyone interested in joining?
