Shadowrun: The King's Seal

Shadowrun is a RP in a near-future setting in which cybernetics, magic and fantasy creatures co-exist. It combines genres of sci-fi (cyberpunk) and (urban) fantasy. This means it has all the cyberpunk typical elements of virtual realities, implants and interesting high-tech stuff combined with all the fantasy and magical creatures and races you could possibly imagine from a fantasy setting.

The game is set 62 years in the future (current year is 2074). The emergence of magic, the outbreak of devastating plagues, the Computer Crash of 2029, the Euro-Wars, and the fevers for independence of Amerindian tribes, Chinese provinces, and everything else that came with the many struggles that ravaged Europe and Asia during their struggle left the world's governments tumbling and falling. The United States was broken into substates. Monetary value was lost. A world-wide currency - the Nuyen - was established. The world had to rebuild, and rebuild they did, this time in the image of the Mega-Corporations that seized power. Taking advantage of the laws that had been passed years ago, and using their new found freedom, the Mega-corps began impressing their power on the failing governments. Before long the world was transformed. Boundaries were redrawn, and the political landscape was changed forever.

When conflicts arise, corporations, governments, organized crime syndicates and even wealthy individuals subcontract their dirty work to mercenary specialists without, who perform "shadowruns" (missions) undertaken by deniable assets without identities or those that wish to remain unknown. They are called SHADOWRUNNERS.
