{UPDATE COMING SOON}
Here you will find the various bits of info that will help you better understand how some things work here.
Date
The current year is 2029, the day and month are the same as they are presently. For instance, if the date is 1/1/2020, it is 1/1/2029 in role play.
Travel
Travel outside of Raccoon city can be tricky with many high ways and roads still in decay. Inside the city it is fairly simple. There is air traffic to and from cities that have established themselves.
Weapons
The turning point of the century was the assault rifle. The way we fought wars was changed forever the moment a weapon could spit out 30 rounds in less than ten seconds and be replaced in less than five seconds with another magazine. However, in the current era the weapons are becoming more advanced and while the old armory exists still there are some break throughs with some newer weapons.
Vehicles
Production of Vehicles resumed around 2020 and by 2026 a lot of new car models came back out. Helicopters and Airplanes have began being used a lot more in the common era.
The Government
Currently the Government is being ran out of New Raccoon City after the raids on D.C. destroyed most of the capital. The President is currently Mr. White, he holds policies that oppress human B.O.W.s or as they are now referred to: Altereds.
Organizations
S.T.A.R.S.: Special Tactics and Rescue Service, one of the factors in the survival of several cities and many survivors. They are some of the most elite people you will ever cross when it comes to surviving and tactics.
Umbrella: is a defunct organization which caused the initial outbreak. They were thought to be destroyed in 2007 but in the later 2010s they became more active until finally their main branch was destroyed in 2026.
Hellsing: After the death of Integra Hellsing in 2026 the organization returned to London and eventually was absorbed. The left over members eventually formed Helsing under Elias Helsing. They are a roaming anti-freak organization bent on stopping Bio-Terrorism as much as suppressing the Unnaturals.
R&R Pharmex: was originally a drug company but was acquired by Umbrella and became an off branch sometime in 2006 known as Blu-Umbrella.
Stonewall Organization: Named after the great Stonewall Jackson and headed by Zack Jackson with his partner Drist, they provide additional security for the President and Drist is known as the Tyrant slayer.
Zombie Resistance: Once lead by Zambi and his LT Charlie, they are the defenders of the Illegals in Staten Island. Zambi was killed in 2015 and Charlie aka Charlotte took over, it eventually merged with Wonderland in the 2020s.
The Patriot Resistance: Lead by Krieger aka the Patriot, the militant Illegal group that fights against the Government oppression. Patriot was destroyed in 2018 by Former President George Sears's orders. Krieger was killed as well as many of his top brass and the surviving members would eventually join Wonderland.
Wonderland Resistance: Once lead by Alice, or her clone, it was the heart of the resistance from 2013 until 2022 when Alice's clone was assassinated. Wonderland continued operating under different leadership and at some point in the 2020s it was taken over by Gabe Lachney and the leadership split between Justing Krieger, Charlotte Zambi, and himself.
Illegals/Altered
When Umbrella was finally destroyed many of its subjects were released from confinement. Hundreds of others that had already been released thought they would finally be able to rest easy until about 2009 when the Government issued that all BOW's had to be chipped and vaccinated on a daily basis to provide their constant location and to lower the virus's within them even if that BOW wasn't infected. Out of fear the public backed this agreement and many BOWs were chipped and forced to live in camps and under strict ruling. Those that didn't comply were known as Illegals and are constantly hunted. Illegals get around through checkpoints by simply using the same anti-virus that they force BOWs to take daily. This weakens the BOW but also allows them to pass checkpoints unnoticed.
In 2010 Alice resurfaced creating the resistance. The former savior of humanity became the savior for the Illegals who were constantly hunted. Project Alice became target number one for the Bounty Hunters but none have been very successful. In the last five years several other resistance groups have risen behind her and while many are similar to her group others are very militant.
In 2020 George Sears inducted the Fair Treatment act giving Illegals proper rights. The act was abolished after his death and another put forth by Alexandra Wesker until she was discovered to be an agent of Umbrella. The laws were never reverted but people continued to act with Fair Treatment until Spencer Harker took office in 2027 and began enforcing Weskers agenda. By 2029 unrest in the city caused the Altered population to create their own resistance force to fight against the oppression.
(BOW; Bio Weapon, can refer to human subjected who had been tested on by Umbrella to enhance them or the monsters that everyone fears the most)
Checkpoints
Raccoon has checkpoints at their main entrances, people are required to be scanned to prove they are either not an altered or prove that they are on the proper medications to suppress their abilities. Government buildings have these same checkpoints.
Vampires
The creatures of the night share a similar history to all things on this forum. They are a product of a virus known as Sanguinare Vampiris. This virus is an ancient strand that isn't found anywhere but in Vampires today. Many people can contract Sanguinare Vampiris but only those that bond with it actually become Vampire. The ancient strand has been diluted over time though creating weaker vampires or vampires that have to steadily use their abilities to be known as true vampires. They are known to be able to do unnatural things similar to how B.O.W.s work but the payment for their abilities is a hungering thirst. Some vampires can exert the ability to regenerate rapidly or escape into the shadows but what energy they use they must also consume or they will die of the thirst for blood.
Lycan
In 2005 Keto Seroth created a strand of virus by combining the DNA of wolves and humans creating the Lycan. Now, just like the creatures of myths, these Lycans are vulnerable to silver but it's not super deadly to them. They can change between their human form and lycan form at will but doing so is the most painful process ever due to the virus strand bonding with their body and mutating it. The process to return back to a human is also equally brutal since the virus has to pull itself apart and reconstruct the DNA of its original host.
