Okay so, I originally posted this Non-TEF roleplay, on a board, it was completely ignored, beyond all my expectations. I love it. I want to know what the TEFc has to say. :3

Profiles || OOC

'Tell me where to start." ((In the title Banner, you'll find the opening theme of the soundtrack for this roleplay, listen to it while you read to set the mood!)) This is Los Angeles, California, The year is 2035 and what's left of the world is trying build itself back up after the bloodiest and most terrifying nuclear war of the century. Following a vast socio-economical collapse and a period of martial law, the United States government has had to rely on several megacorporations to survive. This has given them a veritable carte blanche to operate as they will. You will take the roles of the citizens and bigwigs that now belitter the planet, the same kinds of hardscrabble people who previously lacked the street smarts and skills to survive in such a desolate, freakish environment. The game is simple, survive and make the most money, with much attention being paid to combat, high tech weaponry and cybernetic modification, while both performance enhancing and recreational drug use are at an all time high in the majority of earth's history, both are seen as common place and are much the ordinary things. The range of characters that you, as the players, can adopt is very diverse, ranging from hardwired mercenaries with psycholinked weapons and boosted reflexes, to Armani-wearing corporate mega-yuppies who make and break national economies with the stroke of a pen. Any persona existing in this strange and broken environment can be yours to command. And your job is to survive, or to be survived upon. To play, or be played.

The kind of Megacorporations that will be big news in this roleplay are as follows:
Biotechnica, an Italian biotechnology, pharmacology, and cybernetics firm.
infocomp, a commercial think-tank and information repository.
Kendachi, a Japanese armament company.
Militech, American arms and mercenary contractor.
Petrochem, an energy company
Zetatech, a computer, cyberdeck, robotics, and cybernetics manufacturing company.
and
WorldSat Communications Network, a satellite communications giant.

Some terms that you will be using will consist of:
Netrunners: Cybernetic computer hackers, the people who's bodies have been cybernetically modified to such an extents as to allow them to become what are essentially human computers.
Fixers: Very simple, these are the Deal makers, smugglers, organizers and information brokers. you go to them when you want to deal under the table.
Nomad:Road warriors and Gypsies who roam the highways, these people are the go-to guys for all your out-of-this-world chuck, there's nothing paranormal they don't know.
Privateers: Hardy world faring seamen, out to stab you in the back or to make a good bargain with you. These are the people who are out to pillage and steal, they often run you over in the seven oceans, out to get supplies and other goods, as well as money, to sell on the black market back on dry land.

STORY

Two deep-ocean-based megacorporations, Biotechnica and Petrochem, are duelling for control over a large area of Ocean, rich in desireables. This period is known as the Ocean War, and when it escalates into open warfare, they each hire mercenaries. One hires the Japanese diversified technology and security services firm Kendachi and the other hires the American military technology and mercenary services firm Militech. Out in the open ocean privateering is also a large risk, these two companies have guard posts and police boats patrolling the waters around their barges and ships, but often they'll still be attacked, getting robbed blind of all sorts of valuables and materials.

You as the characters are either one of these sides, or none at all, working to simple survive with what little you have. You play the roles of mercenaries, nomads, and other citizens. Either city dwellers, or those of you working on the scene out in the pacific. This is the stormfront.

"I'm killin' 'em down, one by one."
