~"It's choices that make us who we are; and in the end, define us in history for all eternity"~
In the year 1756, a great once nation known as Yula Fei made homes for some of the worlds most remarkable individuals. It was a city of peace and all whom lived within it's boarders sought only the serenity of their environment and the company of the ones they held dear. While for many years they remained undisturbed by the struggles and strife of the rest of the world, humanity is and always had been a creature of conflict and soon Yula Fei was faced with an opposition unlike any it'd known before.
1768, Princess Omoiyari declares war against the World Government after discovering their involvement with the kingdom of fire, formally known as Iliah'Adari, a nation who firmly believed Yula Fei belonged to it's own monarchy. The war lasted for five long years and many perished on both sides before a terrible fate befell the princess, whom had been successfully assassinated in the year 1772. The collapse of the monarchy lead to the downfall and deterioration in the Yula Fei forces and soon after they lost the war.
The year 1784 marked the day when the name Illiah'Adari fell beneath the boot of the World Government. The monarchy from the kingdom of fire had began to fall short due to a lack of heirs and as the monarchy died out, so did the name which had ruled side by side with the World Government. The names Yula Fei and Illiah'Adari fell into history and the great cities left behind by both nations began a gradual change over the coming years, construction work on a grand scale had their cities merge together.
1824, the World Government proclaim the merge of the once great cities complete and declare the arrival of the first ever world metropolis, calling it the 'center of the world'. Many from all over the world heard of this news and by 1845 the grand city had began to expand to compensate for the many which came form all corners of the world to exist in the constructed world they had made. At first there appeared to be a housing crisis and for three years trouble appeared to gravitate to the grand city in the form of crime and mischief.
1857, the expansion to the grand city successfully made enough homes for the new arriving populace. A policing force was issued to keep the peace, officially known as the 'WGA' or (World Government Arms). Outfitted with weaponry and new state of the art armour, units were sent into the 'poorer' areas of the city to crack down on crime and enforce laws to keep the people safe. An additional branch of officers called 'justice' were introduced shortly after, compiled of extremely skilled and powerful individuals, crime fell dramatically.
1904, a petition from the people across the city arrived on the desk of the WG officials, requesting a name befitting the metropolis, believing that the sprawling city had earned itself a name other than simply referring to it as Grand City. After many debates and deliberation between political heads and the people of the city, they finally agreed on a new name to cement the city forever in history. The metropolis was simply named, Eternity, due to it's never ceasing expansion across the world, growing year after year.
~~~~~~
One thousand years has passed and Eternity remains to be the center of the modern world. The year is now 2904 and Eternity stands as the dominant jewel of the world government which has now became the epicenter of culture itself. As the years moved on and the intellect of man grew, technology developed which broke the bonds of the natural world, politics changed with the passing years and resources slowly began to thin as the economy began to crush the poor while filling the pockets of the rich. A gap between the classes began to form more prominently and before long resentment set in between the people.
Riots and protests began to invade the city and while some were peaceful, others began to grow out of control and were quickly subdued by the WGA, furthering the political unrest among the people. The loss of control spiraled and the World Government found itself losing grip on it's grand city, which had stood for over a thousand years. The president of Eternity, a man by the name of Mendai Carol green lit an initiative to have covert operatives enter the poorer areas and slums to unleash a virus that'd cull their population.
Of course vaccines were made available to those who could afford them and the virus was constructed in such a manner that it would spread only so far before becoming benign. The intention behind this was not only to cull the 'riffraff' of the city but to also clear the way for further development for their richer inhabitants. It worked up to a point but the issue appeared to remain unresolved, poverty maintaining a hold in areas of Eternity. Before long, the gap between the rich and the poor had widened to such an effect that areas began to segregate and an oppressive hand lingered in the air.
The poor were soon denied rights and treatments, denied access to certain areas of the city and were confined instead to the poorer areas and districts, some in which even lacked a dedicated police force to maintain the peace. Only servants and maids were allowed to access the richer districts and while one might have expected the rich to have such luxuries, the terms servant and maid were pretty much cover names to allow the rich to ignore the fact they were practically slaves. Things continued to destabilise further and only in the recent years have some people decided to take a stand.
~"Wherever an oppressive hand lingers, resistance awaits to stand tall against the rain"~
People from all walks of life have gathered from corners of the city and beyond, rallying together under one banner to stand firm against the oppression. They seek to overturn this World Government and return Eternity to the once great city it had been all those years ago, to return it to the people and dissolve the gap between the rich and the poor, so that no group nor class would be disparaged. This group called themselves 'Serenity', a word which had once meant something to a nation long ago that existed in a time long forgotten.

~~Eternity~~
Eternity is a sprawling super city, spreading far and wide. The city is split in to various different districts, segregated for the rich and the poor. Within each and every district you can expect to find malls, shops, streets and just about everything you could expect to find in a large busy city. However the thing to note is the quality, the richer areas of course are kept clean and clear and the more expensive retailers are set up there. In the poorer districts you'll find significantly less care is given to the streets. Trash, crime and other unpleasantness await you, so be careful, especially if travelling alone. Any more information required on the city, seek out your nearest Serenity directory office.
Technology has vastly improved within Eternity. Medicine has enabled people to live significantly longer and military tech has evolved the world of combat significantly. While you may not yet find laser guns, you'll find local peacekeepers sporting armour fitted to enhance mobility and strength. Cybernetics are one of the worlds most incredible features, enabling people who have sustained severe injuries to substitute limbs with fully functioning synthetic replacements. While the days have long since passed from the days of super powered pirates, there are still individuals with exceptional abilities, though most of these individuals are quickly inducted into the Justice program or serve roles as bodyguards for high paying clients or WGA military roles.
~~WGA (World Government Arms)~~
You'll find these officers just about everywhere in Eternity, save for a limited few areas which have been left to rot. They are incredibly tough, well funded and well outfitted to undertake a multitude of combat scenarios. When confronted with a WGA outfit, it's highly advised to either kill them fast or run. Fighting them for lengthy periods of time is dangerous and they are well trained to engage and kill anyone suspected of belonging to Serenity. They're partially augmented, including a combat enhancement that enables them to learn and adapt the longer they fight an opponent, giving them a tactical edge, it's this reason why it's necessary to kill them fast or run. While they do have a command structure, they will answers orders from Justice members without question even if it directly contradicts their chief officer.
WGA soldiers also have exclusive access to high end technology not limited to rapid response vehicles such as hover bikes and gunships. It's uncommon for such measures to be active unless the situation is just that they should require such forceful measures, but at times when presented with combatants that ground units aren't able to handle it's likely gunships and automated sentry units will be deployed to assist ground units in overcoming the opposition. It's recommended that Operators do not engage against such odds as the recorded fatality rate is staggeringly high. For more information regarding the WGA arsenal consult your CO for access to unclassified archive information.
~~Eternity Races~~
Humans - Make up the largest portion of the cities inhabitants and are found within all districts. Humans are considered to be any sentient individual with medium to low level synthetic replacement cybernetics whom still retain functional main organs such as the heart and brain. Humans generally have a life span of 120 years due to the advancement of medicine. Augments and alterations to any human that advances their physical state to exceed natural boundaries of the human body may be considered to be Augmented Humans, not to be confused with Cyborgs or Omnics.
Cyborgs - Make up another large portion of city inhabitants and are found within any and all districts. Cyborgs are considered to be humans that have extensively interchanged their organic material in favour of cybernetics and synthetic augmentation. Cyborgs generally aren't required to eat and drink and have life spans that are classified as indefinite. There are various different classifications of Cyborg from low tier D grade to high tier S grade depending on technologies implemented into the individual. Low tier Cyborgs are often made with outdated or cheap synthetic cybernetics where as high tier are equipped with newer state of the art tech.
Omnics - Make up a considerably large part of the cities inhabitants and are found within most districts. Omnics are fully sentient artificially intelligent humanoids consisting entirely of synthetic technology. These beings became prevalent following the end of the machine war which resulted in Omnic units evolving into sentient individual entities. They follow a similar grading path to Cyborgs in terms of technology outfitted inside of them, while some opt to upgrade themselves most are often a result of the year they were manufactured. Currently there's been no government involvement in terms of assisting their upkeep and maintenance, however following the end of the war a bill was passed to allow Omnics to integrate safely into society and to be considered their own people.
Mutants - Make up a moderate part of the cities inhabitants and are found only in poorer districts. Mutants are the result of contaminated areas following the virus outbreak. During the pandemic poorer districts contaminated by the virus were quarantined and the survivors were deeply effected with altered DNA cellular structures. Deformities in children both externally and intravenously are considered to be mutants and are prohibited from entering the richer districts. Mutants commonly band together in closed communities and don't often stray from within their own territories. Their kind have a poor reception with classes of upper class districts but are usually left alone by other communities.
