In this game I envision a team, large or small squad or platoon containing a variety of people. Most of the characters will be on this team for different reasons, and their morals and loyalty will come into question as to whether they should stay, or leave, and abandon the nation...

I prefer a medium power level. No godlings or demon lords here. I would think anybody level 5 and under should be a possibility for acceptance.

A few Ideas :

 - a member of the Tolkeen armed forces.
(this can be ANY class that you might find in their army, it is simply their background, having served Tolkeen that is important here.

 - A civilian militia
 someone who has stepped up to defend their home, perhaps out of revenge. (probably have special abilities of some sort).

 - A Cyber Knight
Obviously you chose to help Tolkeen against your Lords' wishes. Who do you answer to now?

 - a Mercenary
Someone who is being paid handsomely to fight for the Kingdom.

 - A recent Coalition defector

 - A police officer from Tolkeen or a nearby town.

 - perhaps a juicer survivor from The Juicer Uprising.

 - or any other unique ideas you happen to come up with. They can be doubled up on as well, but I would prefer that there were a larger variety at first, and if alot of people want to join, then I have no problem.

The first and second characters have been chosen...


A Mystic Knight (a mercenary)
A Techno Wizard

... in the works...

A Hyperion Juicer (would they be from the Uprising?)
A Battle Magus (a Tolkeen equivalent? or a Dweomer observer?)

Good day all.  When the GM gets to it, my name shall be Lotus

Hmmm, I am thinking that Xion will be my characters name. Yes, Xion that sounds good and Battle Magish

Oh yeah well my name will be Farley McWeevil

I spent many hours perfecting this map, so you better like it. It has every city that would fit on the screen. From EVERY book on North America. It also has a bunch that I have created, so you will see them on there too.
The map happens to be dated at 109 PA however, and my game takes place in 105PA

Nice map. Oregon is not spelled correctly though. :)


What is the big splotch in the middle of Oklahoma? Some kind of giant post-apocalyptic lake appear to cover a quarter of the state?

Oh right, I suppose I should include the list of all of the cities. That is a forest in Oklahoma actually.

(it's there now)

Hey Guys

I'm Blank2, soon to be called Van (if you could arrange that Mike). My real name's Nate, I look forward to embarking on a bold campaign that may see a number of back-up characters. My character is a Techno-Wizard/Theif, a young guy, only 17. Impressionable youth. In any case, that is me...

Sir Tecumseh, we have been traveling together for 3 weeks now. We were 2 of the first Knights to arrive in the Kingdom of Tolkeen. So far we have spent the beginning of the war helping civilians move into the City, away from the Coalition advancements.

We have been assigned to this group due to our unique powers. Although I hear there is one of those Mystic Knights with them as well. Poor soul, must be lost in life...
