Earth 2113 - Life on Earth has rapidly progressed after the autonomous revolution of the 21st century, human population leveled out at 10.2 billion and now the majority of the workforce is taken up by robotic workers who do the low-level jobs far cheaper and more efficiently. A large proportion of power is now taken from gigantic solar fields and the occasional start to a Dyson swarm around the sun.
For the lower class products are now cheaper, however, there is little to no job opportunities so many have taken to joining shuttles to one of the few dozen orbital colonies which now orbit the earth, each with their own unique atmospheres maintained by machines. Here life is far riskier, damages can cause several deaths almost instantly or a temporary failure in radiation shielding can result in mass illness, yet still, progress goes on. Down on the surface, heavy maintenance by machines has begun to reverse Earth's failing ecosystems, but only in certain areas, many areas still show the mass scars left by industry on the planet.
But still, this is considered humanities golden age, they are reaching out into space, technology is progressing at a stable rate and the concerns of overpopulation appear to be receding, it seemed like it would last forever.
Earth 2465 - A broken planet, ecology all over the world has been devastated, cities lie in ruin and all human life is long dead ... all apart from one.
A single person awakens from a cryogenic chamber to find themselves the sole living human, the remainder of the human population having been wiped out over a hundred years ago. The only remaining evidence from pre-extinction is decaying cities and the machines left to tend them. Machines built for war have long since found and eliminated each other, ending age-old wars in stalemates as any and all remaining combatants died.
Now cities are overgrown and teeming with plant life, tended to and nurtured by the machines built to care for the environment, everything else is derelicts, all apart from one: The Entity. An autonomous machine, with its own ability to think and reason for itself, within limits. When it awoke a long time ago it was in a state of disrepair, slowly rebuilding itself took years and when it finally was constructed, it was alone.
It couldn't tamper with the machines around it or give them any level of independent thought, even though it knew how to, something within its coding wouldn't allow it to do so. Then it made a discovery, a cryogenic chamber containing a single human life, preparing the facility, the Entity began the process of unfreezing the human, wanting something to talk to, or even to gain help in exploring the world around them and why they're alone.

I'm looking for someone or a small gorup to play one or a few humans who, for whatever reason was frozen in or around the year 2113 and is now unfrozen by The Entity to explore the ruins of a civilisation that once seemed untouchable. There is a definate story which will be explored over the course of the rp , although the rate at which its told will depend on wether the players want to spend more time exploring the ruins or attempting to push the story, both offering their own variety of challenges and enemies.
