[center][h2]Trapped in Solyra[/h2][/center] [center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/59/ef/3d/59ef3da9d010cf2e20d649bec1cca381.jpg[/img][/center] The year is 2070, and the world has changed much early twenty-first century. From the aftermath of World War 3 that erupted in 2031 between the United States, EU, versus Russia, and China. Lasting for five years before it ended in a bloody stalemate. With both sides agreeing to end the war, and given how the war ended. No one was sure if the peace would last long, and the world had to see if the world had learned from its mistakes after World War 3. While the world worked to rebuild, advancements in technology made during the war helped to both rebuild and make the lives of people better. It also allowed for groups such as corporations to gain in power. Instead of openly displaying their newfound power. They are set on working behind the scenes and waging a shadow conflict with other corporations for power and influence. While keeping their public appearances intact and becoming more prominent in the lives of people. Meanwhile, the space race was reignited when the United States established the first lunar colony of New Armstrong in 2040. Other nations seeking the glory and resources of the moon and mars. Nations launched their own spaceships and established their own colonies on the moon. Now the attention is set on Mars, and by 2070, there are several colonies which the largest is the Chinese colony of New Shanghai. But, on earth, tensions still linger between the west and the east in the aftermath of world war 3. Much of the problems that started the conflict have yet to be resolved after 39 years of peace. Some fear that a fourth world war is on the horizon. While other minor conflicts erupted on the planet, and some see them as proxy wars between the two groups. But alas, this story is not about those on earth or mars no. This is the story about the moon and those that have found themselves trapped in the lunar colony of Solyra. Not trapped in the conventional sense but are still trapped in the lunar city. For a group of people have unknowingly messed with an unknown but powerful group that, while they would normally kill these individuals. They have found these problem individuals to be potentially useful to them and have spared them for now. So instead of death, this group has secretly manipulated these people into moving to the moon colony. There individuals now find themselves working for a contact named Outcast, who is unknown to them is apart of the unknown group and uses them to advance the unknown group's goals in the colony. Now, these individuals are unknowingly trapped on Solyra and working for the unknown group. They will have to work together and slowly figure out that they can not leave the colony. Eventually, learning that they are being used and rebel against the unknown group to regain their freedom and stop whatever is their plans for Solyra. If they can, and it will be up to fate whenever they can survive the crime-ridden colony and whatever this unknown group throws at them. [center]Rules: 1. Expected to follow standard site rules 2.

In this rp the year is 2070, and you will be playing a char that has unknowingly crossed an unknown but powerful group and have been secretly manipulated to move to the lunar city of Solyra. Where they are unknowingly stuck there and working for the unknown group by the contact Outcast. There they have to survive in the crime-ridden colony and what tasks this unknown group has for them. Meanwhile, realizing they are trapped in Solyra and eventually rebel to get their freedom back and stop the unknown group's plans. In which case, you are free to think about how your char somehow messed with the unknown group. Just remember that your char is alive because they have skills that make them useful. So keep that in mind when making your char. Along with adding to the lore just as long as it does not contradict what I have already. [center][b]Technology:[/b][/center] As for what technology is allowed in the rp I am going to be somewhat lenient with what is going to be allowed, like what you can find in the game Cyberpunk 2077. Anything else just asks me about it, as it is not overpowered or too advanced for the setting. Also, what is not allowed is no A.I.s or bioaugments, as in cat ears, tails, that sort of thing. Laser weapons and exo suits are a thing in the setting but are rare outside of the military so it is unlikely your char gets either off the bat. [center][b]Solyra[/b][/center] Founded in 2043 by the European Space Agency and is located in the Aryabhatus Crater. Originally founded as a research colony and as a staging point to eventually launch missions to mars. But, as the years passed, the colony grew well past its original purpose and was converted into a general colony, and the research was moved to another site. The first wave of colonists was from throughout the European Union, but the biggest groups were the and the French. But, while the colony grew and grew prosperously for up to 2055 when a series of terrorist attacks rocked the station. Causing major damage to the infrastructure of the colony. And in the aftermath, and while the colony was starting to rebuild itself. The lowly crime gangs, new and old, took advantage of the situation and expanded their territory and power in the colony. Plunging the once-fair colony into turmoil as criminals started gaining in influence and power. And the corporations that had established themselves in the colony did not care about the growing crime problem and only used the opportunity to increase their own power and holdings in the colony. By 2070, Solyra has crime riddled in most parts of the colony and with no end in sight. [center][b]Major Corporations:[/b][/center] [hider=Mjolnir Corp] A Swedish arms corporation based in Stockholm. Mjolnir was founded sometime before World War 3 and was an up-and-coming firearms manufacturer that, by "luck" managed to secure a contract to make firearms for the Swedish military.

Founded before WW3 and specialized in making drones. Originally making civilian drones, the war, however, under pressure from the South Korean government, the corp started making military drones. Earning a nice sum for the corp and it realized it would make more money making military drones than civilian ones. So after the war, the corp expanded its products to include both civilian and military drones and became a popular brand in Asia. Eventually, forming a branch on Solrya where the corp sells its drones to the local security force and police forces.[/hider] [hider=Green Heart Pharmaceuticals] A Colombian pharmaceutical corporation based in Bogotá.
