Alright. Since I have nothing better to do until I get a job, and I can't exactly sit here and just wait for people to post, I'm giong to start another RP thread that's open to everyone until I say otherwise. This is going to be somewhat futuristic. Figure we'll use shadowrun rules as a "guideline". I haven't decided if I'll allow spaceships yet. Okay, I've decided. Spaceships exist, but you can't own one unless you give me a damn good reason. Normally, any orbital ship is allowed, and I'll allow ships of lunar range to be privately owned. Transportation from Earth to either Mars or Europa requires passage on large private shuttles.
Good?
Each character will start on one of these three stellar bodies. Well, you could also start on Earth's moon, or the mining colonies on Deimos, Phobos, or the belt. Dunno why you would though.
Alright, starting setting and plot.
Space exploration only just became an option about forty or fifty years ago. The first thing done was beginning to terraform Mars. The surface of Mars already has a few small green spots that can be seen from orbit where algea has begun the process. The polar ice caps were partially melted by poweful lasers from orbiting satellites and some of the deepest chasms have become canyons with rivers below. At the same time, ships were lauched to set up a research station on Europa. Earth's moon has long since been bought by a conglomerate of companies that appropriately changed its name to the'Luna Corporation'. They own resorts, hotels, theme parks and almost everything else in enormous domes for a thrilling escape from Earth once in a while. Both moons of Mars and many asteroids are being strip mined for precious ores and minerals.
So, unless your character is a miner or scientist, there's no fricking reason you should be anywhere other than Earth, Mars, or the Luna Resort. But hey, if you can make up some clever reason for being there, go ahead and post.
Now since most of humanity's higher minds have left Earth to follow greater tasks, much less attention is paid to the 'ignorant' masses on the surface. Police influence is all but extinct. Important companies hire and train their own special forces security. Usually ex-military. The Global Military still has plenty of power, but they don't bother to enforce most laws. Unless you've kill like thirty important people in plain sight sight they'll probably leave you alone. So needles to say, crime on Earth is at an all time high. The tourist and residential conlonies on Mars have private police that enforce laws, but the place is still an all around loose environment where someone with an agenda can get by with just a little caution.
Let me think, what else? Umm, I guess that's it.
