The Story is focused after a great war has ravaged the planet. A nuclear assault has ravaged it's surface save for 4 locations - The great Domes. Originally Five were built in anticipation of the great assault deemed "Heaven Fall", but failure of a single dome led to the loss of billions of lives which could not be saved.
The cause of the war? Peace. For over a century the planet had been rid of international controversy and fallen under a single banner - The Union. Peace was brought about by a single Doctor - One who wished to advance the human race. Through his work he was able to genetically engineer the first human lives created, not born, through Science. These two children - twins in nature - were perfect. They held no physical defects, were stronger, smarter, faster, immune to disease, and overall superior to other humans. From this a new age was ushered in. The science was ushered in, the Doctor was dubbed the "Father of New-Mankind", and people began to chase the dream of bringing his research into play so as to advance the human race further and faster than ever before.
There were, however, people who disagreed with this. Their hatred towards his work brought forth a plague to his ideals, calling his "children" soulless and inhuman. Idly, the children stood by. Idly they followed their "fathers'" wishes to never take their positions in vain and not look down upon the rest of the world. Idly, they watched as their father was killed at the hands of a group of Separatists. It was through the dream of perfection for the human race that malice was born and war returned to the world. An underground Faction had sprang up seemingly overnight, craving the secrets behind his research in an effort to take the glory for themselves and bring about the New-Mankind on their own. In their pursuit, the Doctor was killed, leaving his secrets with the two twin boys.
Those who sought his science doomed themselves. Taking his work and genetically engineering their unborn children in the womb, they hoped that their offspring would be as the two original children. And so they were - Stronger, faster, smarter...but with terrible side effects. Some suffered from mental instability. Some were born with physical defects ranging from missing limbs to missing organs. Others were doomed to die a terrible death which came to be known as "The Crimson Fever." In all, those who survived long enough to mature were as close as they could get.
The world split in two - Those who wished to bring forth the New Mankind, and those who wished to do away with them. The Union and the Factionists were officially born. War raged on for another Century. The Factionists, those who sought the superiority of their kind, buried themselves within the planet while those who would annihilate them built great domes with extensive checkpoints. None who were genetically altered in any way were allowed in and would suffer the date of Heaven Fall.
The day finally came : Heaven Fall was initiated. From the Lunar Mining base, an enormous Nuclear warhead was fired at the Earth. Several hours before the impact, the Domes rose from the ground, sealing those inside in a protective shell that stretched hundreds of miles around in each direction. An hour before impact, one of the five was found to have a breach - many blame this on sabotage by the Factionists. Upon impact, those within the Fifth Dome were killed, the surface of the planet was decimated, and the remaining Four domes stood in defiance as they protected their strategically calculated resources and inhabitants. A calculated 83.7% of the human population was lost.
It has been 618 years since the events of Heaven Fall. Many within the domes are born and die, never knowing that such an event ever too place. There are those, however, that know the terrible secret of that event, and some much worse. There are those which would uncover it... and there are those which would bury it deeper.
More detail would be shared in RP, but everything will take place reflecting on this meager amount of information. Gaps will be filled. Names will be revealed. Events will take place. You will encounter genetically engineered beings and humans, don power armor, and explore an alien planet that you have always called home.
Would you like to find out what's beyond the Dome?

To be just, our law must be cruel.
To stand upon the bedrock of law is our great duty. To presume to stand above it is our worst heresy.
We determine the guilty. We decide the punishment.
