Nu Karne 2028 A.D. (The Dark Revolution subsides)
Eight years have past since the Dark Revolution that changed our world. A massive public outcry to overthrow the corrupt
governments of the world. Defined as a series of anti-government events that ended in total chaos and anarchy. World governments
have disbanded and humanity has fallen into the hands of organized gangs such as Slayers, Assassins and Deathstalkers.
It all began with the explosion of Anarchy 69, a popular social network of the early 21st century. This social network allowed
people to connect in a billion ways, share political information and public opinions at a monumental rate. People were able to
coordinate massive world wide anti-government movements that went viral and millions of people soon followed leading to small bursts of violence that fueled a chain reaction of events. Within a
matter of days the entire Grid was engulfed in a violent debacle and someone resorted to the use of Napalm and chemical warfare
to control the crowd.
In the middle of all this fiasco, the world of finance went through a major overhaul. Shortly following the global economic
meltdown of the world in 2012 A.D., the Postal Stamps and IOUs issued by the various world governments ended up being recognized by some hopeful folks and
traders as a form of currency along with the remaining Dollar supply in the grid. Since money is no longer being printed or
regulated, people have been using the Stamps and IOUs for their day to day basic needs. Some trading posts still believe in the
use of the Dollar, which is now extremely rare and used to purchase unique and precious commodities and often used as a backup currency.
Some other trading posts only recognize Stamps and IOUs.
Needless to say that the movement turned into mutiny, mutiny turned into world wide civil war. Millions ended up dead, millions
wounded and millions were rendered homeless. All the governments of the world disbanded and every man, woman and child was left on their own.
The world, which we now refer to as 'The Grid' has gone through a major shift in power and finances. There are no more laws and
there are no rules. There is only pandemonium and chaos. Crimes and killings are on the rise.
To live, now you must gather and claim whatever resources are left on the Grid.
While you may think the world of 2028 is far advanced, it is in-fact under regression. The economic meltdown of the
early 21st century hit the world pretty hard putting science and technology at a standstill. Popular weapon choices of these
times are submachine guns, pistols, shotguns, martial art weapons, melee weapons and siege weapons. A hidden ancient Secret Society(Guptavidya)
surfaced during these troubled times and attempted to restore order by making an alliance with the gangs of Slayers, Deathstalkers and Assassins.
The followers of Guptavidya are also commonly known as Curators.
This alliance was called the Alliance of the Factions. As part of this alliance the Curators trained the factions in various combat arts and technologies.
Inlcluding but not limited to hypnosis, levitation and telekinesis.
Only the Curators hold the technology to alter human DNA and inject super human traits such as healing powers and enhanced reflexes.
While resurrection technology is still under works, a recently deceased target can be revived using this work in progress Curator Technology.
