This is the first of three related RPs, 2024 will lead onto 2034 and that to 2044. Each will be named after the year in which it is set and the events of those prior will determine the setting and major characters of the later. That being the plan here?s the setting.

2024 ? A history

The human race has reached the peak of its civilization. Technological breakthroughs early in the twenty-first century coupled with an unforeseeable decline in atmospheric conditions triggered a series of fiery debates amongst members of the United Nations in 2010.

In 2014 the globes first Atmospheric Conditioning Facility was built, no less then three years later four hundred of these facilities were responsible for global weather conditions.

2016 saw the overcapitalization of the global market and the restoration of many third world countries in the America?s ?global restoration scheme?; fourteen million people were killed in the ensuing violence. The United Nations became responsible for world trade and currency rates in an attempt to counter the collapsing economy. The Alpha Network, a series of 2,000 satellites designed to provide Wireless Global Networking, is built.

By 2018 power lines had been replaced with High Frequency cables, allowing remote access to the power supply. The United Nations grows in power, by this time all countries have joined or been assimilated by the institution and a series of global laws agreed upon, constitutions are changed to facilitate this. A cure to cancer is found, 17,789,989 volatile diseases have been discovered since, of which 14, 898,394 have been cured.

2019, the Alpha Network is completed, by 2021 all communications systems are converted to one of its three defining sectors, Red, Green and Blue. Breakthroughs in ?hover? technology begin to appear in public vehicles; these are deemed too dangerous and removed from public access, a five-year plan to design ?aerial roads? is proposed.

The 28th of September 2022 the first semi-sentient computer program is created. This program demonstrates an ability to learn but is limited in this by the parameters of its original purpose; Artificial Intelligence becomes conceivable but is still a long way off.

January 2023, the Global Space Authority completes its first interstellar vehicle; a twelve-year mission to the Solar System?s edge is proposed, sparking a fierce debate in the United Nations Council. Meanwhile self-contained machines are designed for specific tasks, labor and menial in nature.

November 2023, a mysterious message is received from Neptune, currently blocked by the sun in its orbit. The GSA proposes a reconnaissance mission as soon as possible using its craft.

January 2024, the first ?worker-bots? are released into construction and agricultural trades; their innovative designs are exceedingly efficient. Setbacks in the ?aerial road? scheme have the completion of the first transit system by 2029.

By June, GSA is recruiting applicable members for their mission, scheduled for July. The UNC continues its attempts to decipher the message with no results, rumors of its contents spread like wild fire. A series of disputes have resulted in America?s withdrawal from the United Nations, Japan is also considering a withdrawal; political tensions are high, and war has become a possibility.

The rules:

1) Any one player can play a maximum of nine characters at anytime.

2) All players are to recognize the time and dates within the setting; I want to keep the timeline in order.

3) Posts should begin by stating the time and date they are occurring in, I suggest doing this using the post title options.

4) You are allowed to play out events up to ten years in the past so long as this is clearly stated at the beginning of the post.

5) Quality posts and basic grammar use are expected.


As long as its human you can play anything you want, senators, astronauts, technicians, laborers, etc, etc. The plans I have for this RP would work better with more versatility though, so the more types of people we have the better, the more the better.
