Technology [b]Backstory:[/b] Fret was born to a family of 5 and was recruited out of school into the long range desert group. He saw action in the Himalayas and was present in battles between the Eurindian Technocracy and the Lunar Monarchy. The Lunar Monarchy having issued letters of marque that allowed the harassment and confiscation of goods and personnel from the Eurindian space ports and fleet. This state of affairs could not be allowed to continue. The state of affairs that led to the creation of Eurindia was a period of techno-barbarism where warfare between rival cyber-enhanced humans vying for ownership or access to ever more advanced cyber technology and weaponry led to a complete collapse of the state. Out of this an extremely small group of enhanced humans formed the Eurindian Technocracy. During this period of unrest the Lunar colony reached ascendancy and formed a monarchy based on vast trading wealth from within the system.

I like your character and the attention to detail you've given your survival kit. I do think we'll need to work on the institutions you've mentioned (Eurindian Technocracy and the Lunar Monarchy) to make them fit our vision for Human society in the RP. It is very plausible that technocracy has noticably changed the fabric of society across the solar system. With degraded survivability stemming from environmental collapse on Earth, and harsh conditions on their colonies in the wider Solar System, people would value cybernetics that help them to survive the new status quo. It is also plausible that European nations, long plagued by stagnation and in-fighting, form a connection with an ascendent Indian subcontinent. I have already mentioned that the European Space Agency is still operational, which means the European Union probably still is too in some form. It could have splintered into factions though, with one being the Eurindian Technocracy. The main thing i'd like to amend would be the Lunar Monarchy. I don't see space holdings (only a couple of hundred years old) being ruled by a monarch. However, it is plausible that Human colonies do begin to exert their own influence on Earth off the back of their unique mineral wealth. If Earth is divided and in need of their resources, it may not be able to stop the extortion of Eurindian ports and vessels. This extortion could be official and sponsored by the colonies, which would mean diplomatic relations between Earth and the Moon would likely not be great. Or it could be the result of organised crime, which the Lunar authorities themselves can't stop. What do you think of that?
