New RP of mine
Well, I started an RP. http://www.vf11.com/scrapyard

POLITICO FILE:
Welcome to the future. Or at least a possible future. In 2150 World War Three ravaged most of the world. The U.N. crumbled around the Security Council. The remaining members of the council, France, Russian Federation, United States of America, Peoples Republic of China, United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, and India had to make a decision. The council decided that the issues of the individual countries were too much for the world to continue to handle. The U.N. had to make an action. The collective militaries of the council banded together under the U.N. flag. Most countries followed readily, wanting peace after the massive war. Most of the world that stood against the U.N. fell quickly. Under the council, peace reigned over the earth. The final step in unification was to create a capitol, one for the whole world. Land was dredged from all around the planet to create a single, massive island in the center of the Pacific Ocean. The project was called EDUN (Earth's Diplomatic Unified Nation). The equally massive city that grew on the island became known as Edun in turn.
Over the next 150 years, the state of the was one of peace. Although the state of the massive city of Edun began to fall. Beyond the central government district, the city was mostly slum. Groups of the city's denizens forming gangs to survive in the rough districts of the city. Fighting over control of land and businesses, but most importantly, to protect their own. Some are little more than gangs of toughs, others effecient organized groups. Even the well off society of the capitol district has gangs. Though they are mostly the bored teenagers and young adults looking to "prove" their mettle in the world.
Over the next one hundred fifty years, internal conflict between government beaurocracies caused much of the responsibilities of the government to be shifted to private firms. Most importantly, the security of Edun city is dealt with by the Waterston firm. A corporate security department dedicated to eradicating the gang scourge.
PRETERNATURA:
In the past fifty years, there have been strange goings on. People have been cropping up with odd "powers". These powers, known as preternatura, are both a cause of wonder and scorn. Religious leaders consider it the signs of the apocolypse, gangs seek to exploit them for their own gains, and Waterston firm considers them just a speed bump in their eradication plans. Siding with the common opinion that these people are somehow tainted.
These powers have always been around. Most were blocked by the boundries between the supernatural and the natural worlds. The chaos of the natural world kept most of the supernatural stuck firmly on their side of the boundry. With the widespread peace of the world, chaotic forces have leeched through the boundry to achieve a balance. The forces bring long dormant abilities to some humans. But always at a price. For example, a boy may find he can start fires with his mind, but when he does he catches a high fever. Or a doctor finds he can heal with his touch, only to realize he is killing those around him to do so. As the need for balance caused the powers to manifest, so to do they require balance among the powers themselves.
Premise:
The premise is simple. You are in a gang around the city, or an agent of the Waterston firm. Your job is simple. Survive, take territory,survive, build gang noteriety, survive, and did I mention survive.
