Futuristic All That Remains (Lore)

[Nothingness]

This is currently a work in progress and will be determined whether or not this is needed. If it comes down to needing it, I will be asking each of you to see if you would like to do a creation of monster machines or other war machines from the old wars that would like to be added here. All things added into here later on will need to be approved by me first.

Order Of The Black Sword

Spoiler

The Order of the Black Sword is a group that had come about out of almost nowhere after the world had practically gone to hell. It consists of men, women and even some children that are all rather patriotic about humanity and believe that even though the world has come to the point that survival has become difficult, humanity will rise again. Although their intentions are pure, those of the Order take their patriotism to a rather extreme level, everyone in the Order believes that humans who haven't been affected by any type of radiation from the previous wars and might have something wrong with them or haven't been experimented on by the Haven Research facilities are deserving to live, while all others deserve only death; they believe those who had been contaminated by some kind of radiation or have been experimented on have been tainted by unclean air and their death is a mercy to them.
Truth is, many of those who are within the Order have been contaminated themselves as well due to the radiation they have been exposed to and there are even some who were originally experimented upon in the Haven Project but have lost their memories and are unaware of their strange mutations. Those who have either found out they are mutated in some kind of way either attempt to hide their mutations or have been killed on sight by their fellow members of the Order.
The Order has come to be able to hack and hijack many of the weapons of war from old times along with the few new ones that have been created by the Rogue AI and have come to use these as their arsenal. Many have come to consider the Order one of the most dangerous foes that walk around because of their weapon and gear.
The main goal of the Order is to liberate the world and restart it anew by killing off any and all of those who are mutated or experimented upon as well as finding where the AI is and either resorting to hacking and using it to their advantage or destroy it and become a new world authority.

The Phantom Creed

Spoiler

Little is known about this group other than that they are nearly considered blood-thirsty killers who never tend to show their faces and that they do not fear death whatsoever. Unlike the Order of the Black Sword, this massive group of men and women do not reprogram the machines to fight for them but rather they take whatever they can like scavengers just to reuse them against their enemies with the same firepower and destructive unexpected results of the machines. Each one of these members can immediately be identified by them wearing a black scarf and dressed as though it were old western outfits along with a cowboy hat and riding black horses. It is unknown as to where they have gotten their weapons from but from those who have survived the encounters with these members; it is believed from seeing how the weapon works, that they have either scavenged them or defeated members of the order to steal it from them. There have been rumors spread around that these people are actually robots disguised to appear human created by the rogue AI to kill off any human survivors whether they are experimented or mutated or not, these rumors have started due to how it has been confirmed that the horses they ride are actually robotic.
In near simple terms, the members of the Phantom Creed can be closely related to a much more dangerous form of regular bandits and raiders.

Mindless Ones

Spoiler

These beings are known as the Mindless Ones, not much is known about these beings though what is known is that they were all once human. Truth is, that with those who wander the world; unless people are making sure to stay away from highly radiated areas, once a person's body is contaminated by radiation, if it is not dealt with sooner or later; a person's body, no matter who they are will start to change into one of these creatures. The change is slow and painful since it always start with small things such as increase in appetite, then to aggressive nature, prone to bleeding, rapid regeneration of cuts and bruises, their skin will start to turn into a greyish brown, sharp teeth, increase in hair growth that turns grey. After all those things, the rest of the transformation is unavoidable and untreatable or at least that is what has appeared to be so far.
Mindless Ones show no remorse to killing anyone or anything whatsoever and even though their name might suggest they are nothing more than large brutes, they are near master scavengers that use anything and everything as their weapon due to their immense amount of strength, speed, durability and reflexes.

Valuables & Currency

Spoiler

After the war had passed, the usual currency that was originally used before the war known as credit chips had become all but useless due to the machines that were used to swipe these credit chips being all destroyed through the fighting. Now, with the world in the state as it is in and people coming to the surface with little knowledge of everything that had happened, it is simply known that everyone's credit chips are worthless. Living upon the surface for more than a month, anyone can easily begin telling that the technology that was used to fight in the wars such as machines that have power cells still active with even the smallest bit of energy or machine parts that are still intact enough to still use are highly valuable to others in this world. Many people tend to use these parts to trade for other parts that they might wish while those who actually look for currency nowadays are given coins that are now called as 'Novas'(Moon shaped one) and 'Talons'(Tile ones).

Rebellion / Militia

Spoiler

The rebellion militia is well known across the land just as how the Order of the Black Sword is known as well. Unlike the Order however, the Rebellion do not exactly have large amounts of equipment and powerful gear even though they are much more spread out everywhere across the world. The Rebellion is made up of both members of experimentation during the Haven Project, those who have been slightly mutated by radiation as well as ordinary humans; a large amount of those who are within the Rebellion are actually ordinary people who have no experience in fighting whatsoever but believe in what it stands for and want the same thing.
Unlike the Order, the Rebellion only want to help those around as much as they can to give everyone the thought that even though the world has pretty much turned into a mess, it is still possible to live their lives and eventually everything will be back to normal sooner or later. These people are almost never seen alone and work in groups, every small town or village will have them around protecting the people as much as they possibly can one way or another.
