Plot

Okay first the general information you may wants to know. Aethersin is a Steampunk/fantasy world based in a city and the land around it; however after we get a good group going we will be expanding it ^.^) The boundries to this rp forum are pretty open, we like creative expansion, the limits are really your imagination. We are also a moderate to advanced rp group, meaning we rp hardcore with posts ranging from 1 to 5 paragraphs. But now on to the plot !


Aethersin is found on a small planet called Tretith back before the Storm ravaged the planet. Tretith was once like Earth, and had been the hope for Earth’s over populated planet. Earth had over used there natural resources and the atmosphere was dissolving leaving Earth near unlivable. But some time after Tretith was established with several colonies, history repeated itself, and the planet wasn’t as meek as Earth was. When the ecosystem started to deteriorate storms, and earthquakes tore the planet apart and people began to doubt their Leader’s ability to keep them safe. That was when The Storm hit, a super storm that scattered any form of government and killed thousands.

Aethersin, which was once the largest city on Tretith, led the way in technology and green improvements to life that wouldn’t scar the world so badly. They’d foreseen the Storm coming and had established a large barrier force field, hence why Aethersin seems to be the only ones left standing after the Storm. And now some 50 years later the world hasn’t gotten much better. The skies are dark with dust, and debris. The plants and animals have all but died, those that have survived have evolved into ravenous beasts. Water is also a becoming scarce.

Aethersin however, stays as safe as can be within their city. Some citizens consider the barrier a death trap while others praise the Tregan Technologies Company, which saved them from the storm and now govern the city. Led by Daven Tregan since his father passed on last year. He has a group of five advisors known only as the Council. Underneath them is the “Protectors” of the city, a military group named Jurdis. They are the iron fist with which Tregan maintains their hold on Aethersin.

However, even they cannot stop the poverty that now chokes the city, and starts mobs in the streets for ration cards. The city is quickly falling apart, and people are getting sick from malnourishment and new diseases. A solution must be found and fast… So TreTech turns their eyes on the ground beneath them.

This is when the Aether was found, a luminous mineral cache pulsing with energy located in mines far beneath the city streets and sub tunnels. Could this be there answer? Power has been turned back on throughout the city, and blackout curfew has been extended in Inner City. More ration cards come out as this Mineral, named after the city, powers there generators and grows there food. A bright future seems to be at hand…

But people are starting to vanish off the streets, rumors of strange creatures lurk the streets, and people are still getting sick… There is also rumor Jurdis members being used as test rats by TreTech. Is the Aether Mineral the answer to their prayers, or is it a curse in pretty wrapping.
