World Lore

The way that this world is created, is with the specific desire in mind to give people the freedom to be able to create a wide range of characters within the spectrum of what would be ‘acceptable’ in a world like the one that has been created.

When it comes to ‘lore’, the way that this world works is fairly simple.

You ever seen supernatural? Looked into the white wolf or vampire the masquerade lore? Yeah, its pretty grimdark. Its pretty gritty. Its pretty awesome, really. The tldr version is that the preference for this world is that everything be at least humanoid in origin. For example; vampires can be a thing. A mermaid can be a thing.

This is a semi-realistic to realistic setting. So there aren’t really lizard people. There aren’t really dwarves. This isn’t THAT kind of game. In that respect, there aren’t things like fox girls, neko’s, cute little animu waifu’s or anything of that respect. Everything should be HUMANOID.

When it comes to magic, there isn’t truly any limit to what magic is available. Again, if you want to make things at all powerful then there should be weaknesses for that power. You want a fallen angel? Fine. You want a demon? Fine. You want a shape shifter? Thats also fine! You want a cybernetically enhanced, fucked up lab experiment? In this setting, that is also welcome!

As far as technology goes? Think steampunk and semi modern. We’re not going to have nanodes and genetically enhanced cyborgs. You won’t see things like televisions, or advanced holograms and shit like that. We’re going back a bit more old school. This is a post apocalyptic setting, and with that comes low tech - with its benefits! People can still have enhanced armor. Communication devices, magically enhanced/enchanted what have you. Just remember; for every strength, there is always a flaw.

Keep in Mind
'''This is POST APOCALYPTIC, Its gritty. Its dark. Theres a lot of monsters that are not going to like you. There are a lot of ways that your characters can die! Storyteller’s are not going to be nice. Consequences very much exist in this world. Prepare for characters to get hurt, to die, for war to wage, and to have a hell of a lot of fucking fun in a relatively free world - with obvious restrictions.'''

In terms of religion & gods - these are two things that in this setting, are just not going to be a thing. You can have demons, angels, beings of all manner - fuck, you can create a being if you want to, and give me a reason why it exists in the manner it does.

Religion and established gods are not things here. We’re a system/world that functions more on myths and things that go bump in the night, than things we want to worship.
