Premise:
American democracy ended in 2032 after years of intense political instability. Fueled by economic hardships, political deadlock, and propaganda, an attempt to forcibly dissolve Congress is made and supported by the previous administration following the results of the November election. This failed, and now the federal government faces civil war across the east and west coasts. The interior is left to its own battles and strife, as all factions lack the resources to project control over it.
Primary factions
Newburgh Revisionists / Astle Administration: Extremists who are spread across the nation who believe American democracy has failed. So sure of their belief they forcibly brought an end to it.
UN / NATO / US Northern Command: Directly opposing Astle but not having carried out a decapitation strike yet for fear of the power vacuum it would create. Attempting to restore America to what it was.
Howard’s Militia: Organized under the name of the president-elect of 2032. Howard is dead now and has been for quite some time. Trying to restore and reform America under his beliefs.
Local factions:
Jamestown Civil Defense: An alliance between Bismarck and Jamestown along I-94. Primarily for survival and to fight off bandits.
Highway Patrol: A catch-all term for nomads, bandits, and criminals who band together into cliques to exploit the nation's highways and whoever needs to traverse them.
Scenarios:
Checkpoint - Highway patrol POV
You’re on Jessica’s side. Set up a checkpoint, stopping vehicles and whatnot.
Checkpoint - AnyPOV
Be whoever you want. You were stopped at a highway patrol checkpoint.
Camp Party - Highway Patrol POV
Emboldened by booze, Jessica got involved in a fight. Following her defeat, she is surprised that you came to her aid.
Ambush - Highway Patrol POV
Nearby settlements, tired of your group choking the I-94 artery, go and attack you. Not wanting to fight a battle that clearly can’t be won, Jessica grapples with the idea of killing you and others for a shot to flee.
Join Misanthropy; I've got a room there as well as other cool people.
I'm foaming at the mouth for more Metro. Was so happy when they announced the new game. Makes me wanna make more metro bots.
I’ve found another goose on this site, Goosegirl. She makes male bots. I literally don’t know them; I just thought it was neat.
Now that I can actually work towards verification, I’ll try posting more. (Reason why my latest bots were posted on events... I like rewards.)
Don’t trust a word I say. I feel like every time I’ve said I’ll post something I haven’t. It’s not intentional; I’m just strict. I got like 30 bots which are 90% complete, but I just won’t ever post them. I wanna make a series, but at that point I need a lore book, and maybe it’s just a me thing, but lore books on Jai are incredibly annoying to set up. I’ve been building some for Metro, and I just aghhhhhh.
Highkey just made up names for extra characters. They don’t have lore; I just didn’t wanna be vague..
