~The Story~
the year was 2112 A.D, humanity's technological advancement had hit an all-time high, and scientific explorations have traversed the world over, revealing historic secrets almost everyday; however on march 8th 2112; a discovery that would change the world was made deep under the island of Manhattan, in the region known as the Mohegan void trench, when deep sea oil drillers drilled through a loose layer of bedrock and exhumed a mass of glowing purple stones, and upon digging deeper found a layer of a pitch black sheet-like metal; scientists later determine that these two materials have amazing qualities, the purple stones, named voidstone ore due to it's area of discovery seemed to act as a self contained thermo-nuclear reactor, releasing insane amounts of energy when exposed to magnetic fields; while the metal, aptly dubbed black metal by metallurgists was a light weight, high density, high durability material that could easily be shaped to fit any necessary project.
these two discoveries changed the world, and in little more than a year the USA's technology revolved around these two materials, with every city, including it's new capital, farside city,a sparkling urban jewel floating far above the Mohegan void trench, it's rejection of gravity a symbol of the technological breakthroughs that voidstone had given the people. this advancement came not without a price, however. unknown to most is that widespread use of voidstone ore had mutated humanity on the genetic level,
causing one in every fifteen people to become darkloids, twisted creatures of superhuman attributes that reproduce through a "corruption" plague.
the darkloids proceeded in spreading their plague over the course of a decade, expanding into a hive mind led by a mysterious figure known only as voideus.

our story begins in 2123, where an explosion in a voidstone refinery had showered the nation in a mutagenic cloud, resulting in the emergence of a faction of metahumans called the void's fist, who seek to secede from the U.S. and create a country solely for powered individuals; plunging the nation into a three way war between the government, the void's fist and the darkloids for control over the now chaotic land
the only question is what will you fight for? peace?, solitude? or perhaps even to advance the rising darkloid hoard?

rules
-Please adhere to the general Roleplaying Rules and Guidelines, located here: http://forums.khinsider.com/roleplaying/163400-roleplaying-rules-guidelines.html
-The story should adhere to a PG-13 rating. This is a public forum, so please conduct your characters as though the whole world is watching. Profanity is permitted, but please keep cursing at a reasonable level. Violence is also acceptable, even necessary given the nature of the roleplay, as is romance; please keep these situations from getting too graphic. If there is any question as to the appropriateness of your post, please ask before you post.
-There is no weekly posting requirement once you join, but please be courteous to the other players. Life happens, we are all busy, and sometimes the creative juices simply aren’t flowing. In any case, if your character is actively involved in an interaction and you will be unable to post for a significant period of time, please find a way to extricate your character from that interaction so that the other players can continue, or give someone else permission to temporarily take control of your character.
-If you have been given permission to control another person’s character temporarily, please make note of it at the top of every post in which you control that other character. If the character has been permanently turned over to you, please make note of it in the OOC thread; you don’t need to note it in every post.
-Please use proper grammar when posting. In other words, please refrain from using internet lingo (i.e. lol, brb, etc.) and abbreviations.
-Your posts don't need to be particularly lengthy, but please try to make them at least a paragraph or two in length. This gives the other players a better understanding of your character's thoughts, actions, and other information necessary for them to post accordingly.
-Please be kind and courteous to your fellow players.
-Story elements are the decision of each member for their characters, but destruction of significant story areas must have my approval.
-If you have read, understand, and agree to follow these rules, please place the following phrase at the top of your character profile: "i fight for..*whatever applies to your character*.”
