[[OOC: Note that this world is not like ours. Nuclear missiles are pretty much very large bombs that burn everything, they also turn everything into a desert. The world still has oceans, but the water has been...radiated.]]

In the year 9702 AC (after-Civilization; after the rise of the first Civilization), the world was set ablaze. Billions fell to the horrors of nuclear war. It is unknown how the war started, some say that Marfor tried to invade Collaria, others say that the tensions finally reached a breaking point between the West and the East (The East was Marfor, Valkond, and Xerillia. The West was Cidel, Collaria, and Serillia). None of it matters, the world is crippled.

The survivors are the small percentage of the people outside of the firespread when the bombs went off. You are one of those people. Your mission, your duty, is to rebuilt society. Eventually, you will be able to restore the planet Erus, or at least part of it, to its former glory.

You can be almost anything. You can even be soldiers and police officers. Being a former special forces operative won't work though. Keep in mind that your profession before the nuclear war will probably lead you to a similar profession. I will say now that no politicians survived the war. You can control up to ten people, but you must write detailed descriptions of all of them...

Example
Name: John Doe
Occupation: Construction worker
Description: Brown hair; has a receding hairline. Average height, a bit overweight, somewhat lazy.

Characters

Name: Gordon B. Shmeh (known as Shmeh to friends)

Occupation: (Corrupt) High Court Judge

Description: Brown hair with wisps of gray, brown eyes, a little below average height. Very intelligent and cunning, not particularly strong but with a medium build, very much wealth orientated.

Bio: Born thirty seven years ago in his hometown of Dumfries in Scotland. He strolled through school and college with high praises from teachers but accused of being a snitch by fellow students and generally disliked. He precided over his first case at the mere age of twenty four. At the age of twenty eight he was involved in a trial fixing scandal. It was this distruption in his career that delayed his progression to the high court (which was still impressively fast)until he reached the age of thirty three. More accusations have been made since his rise to the high court but nothing has been proven.
