Plot
Year 2037
The world is developing itself, technology is, as always, advancing, evolving. This city is known as Kahnna, a sky creeper civilization. It isn't weird to see ships traveling at incredible speeds, or cars floating around there. This is the power of technology and pure human determination; as the world grows, so do the people, because of all this technology and the power that the machines grant to the society the humans have changed, this is a more complex and dependent society, people used to work more, to know what's real effort, what does the sweat on the front means, all these things have been forgotten.
Now, a group of men and women, mainly for fun, they have left this path of machine-dependence that the society has created. Most of them did it to break the routine or just because they got tired of everything and decided to see the real world. In the end, this group of persons became almost like a second society, they live by their rules, because of this, the society persecutes and rejects most of its practicing, but for them, this isn't more than fun.
In the year 2015, the "Tech Evo" started, it was a project led by the entire world's governments, from the south to the north, from the east to the west; each country of the world was into this. This project leaded the technology to a whole new level where people are able to make their cars ride to their location with a single press of a button in their phones.
The revolution against this way of life started in the 2017, but it isn't truly a revolution, it's more like a newfangled style of being; this was yet unknown and unapproved by the company; it stuck around like this for the next eighteen years. In the 2035, this discipline finally started gaining popularity and respect, but it was still unapproved because it seems dangerous to the mortal eyes. This field is called "Parkour", the artistic creation of motion.
Locations and Cities
This style, discipline, a way of life, has been fanning out over the globe in the past two years, now; Kahnna isn't the only one with these peoples running over the rooftops almost risking their lives.
Kahnna
: The city where all began, a skyscraper society, nothing more, nothing less. The Tech Evo initiative was mainly supported by this city, therefore it now possesses a huge economic and politic influence over the other cities.
Rizo
: A country on the other side of the world, characterized by the large amount of researchers that reside in that location because of the strange type of land in this area. What this city lacks in international influence compensates with its core technologic advances during the Tech Evo.
Manaki
: Also known as the "Thousand suns home", this city is situated on the deeps of a natural and expense desert; it's all smooth and dead during the daytime, but when the night descends, the streets and corners of the city get full of liveliness and color with the large amount of different animals and wildlife that exist in this country.
Nigura
: The main country of the oriental side of the world; this is the area which has more acceptation to the practice of Parkour, but it's still persecuted and rejected by most parts of the society.
Forest
: The main training ground of the Reptiles. Each city has it's own forest, all full of green and high trees perfect for climbing. Kahnna's Forests is actually one of the smallest because of deforestation and increase of the population. Rizo's Forests is somewhat dry, most of the trees are almost completely brown (Like fall), but they are still very resistant and beautiful. Manaki's Forests is one of the more interesting ones because is in the middle of the desert, it's like a huge oasis but bases more in its landscape rather than the vegetation, there are of course some trees that have adapted to the low water source and the extreme heat. Finally, Nigura's Forests, these are the most beautiful ones as it offers a very diverse landscape in colors and sizes, but not only that, these forests have shown a beautiful light spectre coming from some trees, It's believed this is produced by a phosphorescent-chemical substance.

Factions
Those who exercise this field are called "Runners". But, the Runners aren't all the same; some have even mastered a certain area and some do not agree about that, because of this the world of the Runners divided into four main factions:
The Wolves
Leader: Kaze Roka
"As fast as the wind itself, catch me if you can"
These are those who stuck to the main point the Parkour; as the speed like their main focus point, their aim is to achieve a certain destination the fastest possible, to accomplish this they apply a vast arsenal of jumps and slides. They aren't like those who prefer to shine, making spins and tricks.

The Tigers
Leader: ????
"Don't be afraid, in the final stage, it will be beautiful"
Unlike the Wolves, the Tigers take the artistic aspect of this art; they practice the way of life known as "Free Running", they love to make spins and whirls in the center of the air; their primary aim is to show themselves the best possible to the others using their great knowledge of gymnastics.

The Falcons
Leader: Jinx
"We're always looking up. Higher and higher"
The Falcons are also recognized as the "Jumpers"; they have mastered their jumps to be equally eminent as the sky; it's normal to see them rehearsing on the rooftops of the higher buildings in order to achieve as high as they can with the force of their starts.

The Reptiles
Leader:
Mira Sage
"Ah, the beautiful nature, for sure is going to take over"
These are the Runners that have leaved the noise and scandal of the city to enter in the pacific and silent world of the forest; they coexist with most of the wild animals and plants that rest in the woods; they are known because of their ability to climb and maneuver on the cup of the trees.

Citizens
This doesn't require whatever sort of explanation.
Fantasy
The remains of former temples and cultures all the same are scattered all over the world. Obviously, fragments of these have been taken to city museums and expositions, but, researchers and scientists haven't yet uncovered the truth behind all the scripts and images that they find hidden in the depths of the temples. Most people know nothing about these hieroglyphics and do not hear much about what it going on; however, there are a few select people have heard the rumors and some who are not researchers have taken an interest in them for some reason.
Some experienced Runners of the world have seen these scripts and images; they brought the same tactile sensation to each of them when they stared at it, they felt a strange spiritual pull, a force. After seeing the scripts for some seconds, some claim that they have even heard strange voices calling out to them and a specific word came to mind, the word 'soul'. At least, that's what the Runner's claimed to have felt, telling their companions about what they had seen and felt, sending rumors flying throughout the Runner community.
The only mode to see these ruins and what's actually going on is to go to the old and antique temples deep within the depths of forests where these signatures and drawings were made, some of the temples may have never been uncovered yet that may hold more to answer these questions. There are still a lot of things to discover and only God knows what secrets these scripts say within their cryptic letters. Antique cultures saved and praised these scriptures for some unknown reason and someone must figure out why they seemed so important to them.
Anyone can go to their local museum and take a look a few of the pieces taken from temples that have recently came onto display and open to the public. For the longest time, none of these artifacts were allowed to be seen by the public though most people believe it is just because researchers were working on trying to figure out the secrets to them.

Races
Humans: This doesn't call for whatever sort of explanation
Amonis
: One of the two races that grown coexisting with the humanity; they take in some feline aspects (Neko people…) accepting their senses such as acute sight, hearing and smell, which are a bit higher than the norm. They can have some feline physical characteristics such as cat ears and a tail. These subjects are normally very playful and social, thus they have become a core in the society. It's pretty normal to see groups of amonis and humans hanging out together. Their cultural recreation is equal to humans', they have lived among humans for so long that you can't talk about human history without mentioning a couple Amonis.
Esturion
: The other race that coexists with humans and Amonis; the Esturians show a normal human form, they show some kind of animal traits other than feline like reptilian, primarily because they come from the depth of forests and jungles; even aquatic traits sometimes such as gills . Esturions, different to amonis, are less social, taking a more serious aspect and have normally a short temper so dealing with them is something to have care with. Esturion culture is far different from human and amonis', they normally live away from these societies so that's something to expect. For them, fighting is almost -If not- a must, esturion childs are taught to fight using their animal traits from very early childhood. For esturions, fighting is art, a way of bringing beauty to the world, but is also a prove of strength and survival.
Technology Level
As stated before, this is year 2037, thus a multi-national program known as Tech Evo took place in the year 2015, although, this hasn't finished yet, technology is always advancing and upgrading itself.
A.I.s are incredibly developed in these times and experimental war bots have started to be developed, although these have only reached a certain level of knowledge and understanding of the physical world. "War Bots" are a group of robots developed specially for war and raid control, the most advanced War Bot is called "Meliester-048". It is the last creation of Niguraian scientist Alester Valeski. He and his team created the "Meliester" series" a group of War Bots designed especially for close combat environments.
Melister-048
The Melister-048 or "Mel" was made from the scraps of Melister-012, due to the similarities between the two. Using eccentric combinations of steel, gold and diamond, the scientists of Tech Evo created a metal capable of resisting gun power or extreme temperatures, the name of this metal (choose to have "was kept classified" or name the metal). Mel is covered with a layer of carbon fiber and bone dust while managing to possess a humanoid appearance, minus the rail wheels for legs. It motor in Mel's legs has up to 10,000 horsepower, which is powerful enough to pull a nine ton block at full power. The arms of Mel can shapeshift into different weapons interchangeable size and power.
The A.I. is the more developed until the moment, courtesy of a person under the alias of "Mel" who worked for "Dynamo Inc.", the best in Niguraian electronic development. The chip "Mel" made for "Melister-048" is capable of creating immediate strategies, calculate any kind of operation 2,486 times faster than any other A.I., and even learn from its foes. It recognizes any kind of weapon and classifies them by threat level.
Last but not least, this powerful war machine works powered by a man-made element created from natural gas enhanced with solar energy and frozen to acquire a plasma form.

-Household A.I.s
This field is less developed than the military, but this doesn't mean it's useless. It has been proved that this is extremely helpful in normal residences as most housewives don't even clean these days thanks to their A.I.s. These come in all size and shapes; each made to accomplish a different function within the house's assets. Domestic A.I.s normally setup in every electrodomestic object like freezers, TVs, washers, phones, clocks, and anything that uses electricity and/or is connected through the net. Whoever lives in the house has the total control over place's A.I.s.
-Weaponry
Even if War Bots are in the battlefield most of the time, soldiers are still a thing; a highly developed machine will never replace a flesh-and-blood human brain full of creativity and neurones. "Power Armor" is name given to the main soldier's defense against gun fire and close combat weapons such as knives and maces. The Power Armor is a covering that protects the entire body made from diamond fiber and possesses some titanium coverings to protect the user's extremities, knees, elbows and shoulders. Its A.I. is designed to alert the user of any incoming threads, design plans for the user and shows the overall structure of its surroundings, accesses to the web in order to search for any kind of information, such as maps, plans, etc.
Weapons have reached a great advancement too. Nothing like lasers and stuff like that. Projectiles are still the norm, but now, thanks to nanotechnology, these can be used in new ways, such as tracking down subjects, creating large explosions by the use of bullets, even the contagion diseases to beings in a determined range. Bullets are now usually made from alloys of silver and steel, thus giving them more penetrating power. Explosives and missiles can now be crafted smaller and with even more destructive power.

Bullets are now usually made from alloys of silver and steel, thus giving them more penetrating power. Explosives and missiles can now be crafted smaller and with even more destructive power.
-Transportation
The highest advance in average transportation has been the creation of hovering cars. Yes, you read right, hovering cars. These use a wind pulse technology that assimilates to some aircrafts capable of standing still on air. Their mass production started in 2028. Normal cars are still used but these are normally seen in the lower-class areas of the cities, where money isn't very… prominent. Hovering cars can go as high as 45~ meters and their highest possible speed is 300 KpH (Kilometers per Hour), obviously, the higher the cost the higher the speed and height they can get.
Commercial aircrafts can now fly even faster than before (No, you can't reach space with them). These machines now consist of more powerful motors that create multiple reactions and chemical conversions that allow the aircraft to reach faster speeds (Yes, you can break the sound barrier with these). A worldwide travel isn't a problem with these babes, speeds of 4,000 KpH have been registered over the years. Obviously, protection against the G-Forces have been created in order to stop the drawback it produces when breaking the sound barrier and reaching maximum points of gravity force. So a travel from each of our actual cities to other would take like… one hour in a premium travel (Going at some 2500-3000 KpH) and five hours in a normal travel (1500-2000 KpH).
Note: The tickets for these travels are very expensive (1,500$ for the normal ticket and 3,000 for the premium one), so don't think about going to all the cities in one day or something like that.</p><p>Note 2: Some less advanced aircrafts can be used, obviously these go slower (IRL commercial airplane speed 878-926 KpH) but the cost is cheaper (400$-700$).
Ships have also obtained a piece of the Tech Evo. Now such embarcations are even larger and faster. The main point of these, it's the creation of a system made especially for sea-traveling, which allows the captain of the ship to go as fast as he wants, but makes the people on the ship feel no difference as if it was still on the docks. (No, ships can't break the sound barrier).

(No, ships can't break the sound barrier).
-Holograms and Communication
These two go by the hand. Holograms are normally used for conferences and reunions between family/work members. Phones and cellphones have now reached a great level, these are now transparent glasses that show images on them thanks to not only nanotechnology, but the learning of minerals and new way to create alloys with them. So these glasses are actually an alloy of red sand, nitrogen, iridium (To increase durability) and argon. These also use a new kind of projection which allows the user to literally touch the image and control it at will.
Now it's where holograms come into scene, these are solid projections of either images or persons, these are shown in full color and not only blue like in most movies and Sci-Fi settings. These can be generated from a large variety of gadgets, from phones to specialized items to bring the best resolution to the user.
Runners normally use holograms for faction control over the globe. Runners in general, after they join a faction or contact with one, their are given a number on their phones to use in the world wide web known as "Eyes". On this platform Runners have a group called "The AoM" which they use to communicate with members that reside in other cities. ALL RUNNERS SHARE THE GROUP, if a Faction Leader wants to create a group for his faction only then that's his problem. Runners can use Eyes to have gatherings with holograms or coordinate a face-to-face encounter. Where the encounter is done it's decided by both parts of the encounter. Most encounters are set in Khanna since this is the city where parkour began to take place.

Extra
Some may notice that this is somewhat short, this is because most of the RPs are already risen when they come out (Ex: Bad guy is already there, etc.); this is the beginning of the game, which signifies that things will happen (REAL PLOT) and then will be added to this thread.
Every GM post made in
Every GM post made in
big red letters will be an official plot/environment post.
Players write their faction in their CS, but characters don't know about it right from the start, only Faction Leaders know about it since they are already into Parkour since the start of the RP; if a RPer wants to be in the faction right from the start he/she will have to explain that in its CS.
This RP has a SandBox touch so feel free to create whenever you want, either be locations or lore, NPCs, whatever, I want to see what you can come up with. Feel free to create any kind of plot, players are free to do what they want and directly change and interact with the RP's main plot I have in mind, we are all writing a story together, you are not my puppets.
