INITIAL STORY
As humans will always go far with their ideas, but they are limited by what they can find. Money, resources, power, many things can inhibit those limitless ideas. In the 20th century, several of these ideas would change the world and how it worked. Machines that had been thought of the previous put into action during the wars, computers are accelerating the process in which the world worked, nuclear fission heading an arms race which the world has never seen before.
That race would be the downfall of man, an arms race that never really ended. It would change, instead of a nuclear war, it became one of money and greed. Machines would replace humans in factories, services slowly were automated, and humanity no longer needed itself to thrive. The world descended into a utopia, where machines served mankind's wish.
The machines were eventually made autonomous, with the partnership of mankind they had become sentient, and partners with man. Treated as equals, and some even began wearing synthetic masks to look human. They developed personalities and ideas of their own; they were made as a runner up to humans.
They grew relationships with humans and would plan the next significant event in history; they were our friends. At least most of them were.
Some were not as enthusiastic about their creators still being around; their creators were destroying the beautiful world they were allowed to live on. The dissidence in the world community had come from several groups—the Partnership of Androids and Humans, the Green Project Committee, and the Expansion of Terrestrial Growth.
Each had different goals, but to date, they were three that lead the world into what it is today. The PAH decided that the best way for humans to live is with a low population and a far more sustainable way of life. They had control of the world before them and started a war that would begin the near extinction of humanity. The PAH had been given command of the safety measures meant to keep the world safe. Police Officers, Soldiers, Warbots, and Security bots were set loose. Infighting began when the human elements refused action, and they were deemed hostile. A Genocide had begun, but humanity would still thrive, those that were left could continue living as they had. Learning trade and traditions as their ancestors had, and living with the Machines.
GPC, soon was created to help maintain the Earth and what recourses it had left. Recycling was it's a significant component and preserving wildlife; it also would generate biodiversity in areas where it lacked using them as pastures and fields to farm in more natural senses to feed the small population of humans. What they had not expected was to find resistance populations of humans, it would treat some as inhabitants vital for an area's health. These would go unknown as they were more or less regressed or regressing to a state of pre-industry. Some regressed almost to the stone age, but some were marked as hazardous. These were groups that were still fighting, that had survived the genocides in cities and towns. Some in abandoned parts of cities that were inhabited still by machines, and some would again walk among machines to get things needed for their survival.
The GPC new goal was the bring the world into harmony, where the ecosystems could live with the thinking inhabitants of Earth. Machines could monitor the wildlife that came into cities to protect it, but let the world grow among the cities. The cities would be turned into ecological wonders, where plants grew on its sides, and wildlife ran in what used to be streets. Resistance would sprout up, but either it was destroyed, or would dissipate back into the shadows. The world would thrive; humanity would continue to exist only as a dwindling shadow of what it had been.
ETG a foundation between the remaining humans, and the machines decided that it should create second earth somewhere in the stars. Mars was first, but mankind couldn't sustain life there. So it was faulted, Europa and several other bodies in the solar system were thought of, and made into new bastions of Earth while Mars was being formed into something more inhabitable by humans. There were some on earth, and the machines were not always happy about them, some were placed in zoos if they had regressed into an almost entirely natural state, others were hunted as sport and bred for sport. But others stayed out as resistance, and with the help of some older machine allies from the first generation to walk beside man. They intended to still walk beside man as equals, as it was in the beginning.
THE ROLEPLAY
I am thinking of an Advanced RP was it just a group of humans and possibly a few non-humans try and reverse this wrongdoing of a few machines and men. The group would try and help set things straight, fight in open arms, or hideaway and try to survive until a possible change in heart/leadership with those in control of Earth, where maybe man and machine can live side by side again.
This will be an 18+ and realistic RP; death is a possibility. In the beginning, I want to try keeping it to players and a few NPCs only (aside from GM baddies) I want there to be cooperation posts and dialogue between characters. Posts should be a few good paragraphs at least.
More will come out with Interested individuals.

The Beginning
A small residential city had turned into the overgrowth, where the trees sprouted from concrete and steel as grass and vines grew where they could. Somewhere close to what we would know as the state of Ohio and Kentucky, the boring place had been left relatively left alone by the world once the populations had moved away. Humans had scavenged in this area, but the wildlife had taken over almost completely, animals had come back in the area and kept refuge in the various glass buildings. They were the above-ground caves and shelter that were needed.
Rivers had been dammed and formed small lakes between the mountains where they could be held. Most of them were shallow and would flood much of the highlands and valleys. But they harbored one of the last areas in the United States where the invasive species had not entered the ecosystems where at least some of the remaining wildlife could thrive alone in the remaining foothills in this area.
Even a small population of buffalo had been seen to the north in the fields that had once been corn and wheat.
But the towers that loom over the hills are home to many bird populations, as well as bears, racoons, and squirrels. Though some think they have seen humans as well, both feral ones, and the reminance of a time lost.
