Eons ago, humanity fought a seemingly endless war for survival against dark forces, in an enchanted world where gods and monsters roam. At the war's darkest hour, the King of the Gods did the unthinkable, and sacraficed his life to sever the tether between his world and ours, bringing humans into a world without magic, and countless generations would come to pass.

Eons later, humanity reaches simultaneously it's highest peak and darkest hour, enormous shining cities climb into the sky, above where countless humans scurry back and forth. below, crime and violence reign supreme, and bandits rule the land. To preserve biodiversity, humanity constantly edits the life of the land, biologically engineering generation after generation of creatures, now mixed and matched into beasts collectively called "Chimeras." And then, a deadening boom and blinding flash overtook the world, and when everyone opened their eyes, they knew something has changed.

Magic had returned, angels, demons, fairies, and elementals were the first to come, soon, magical beasts roamed the land. Enchanted forests rose up from the polluted, scorched earth, and people themselves became magical, thus beginning, a new chapter in humanity's history.

To preserve order in this world of chaos, a new type of hero rose. The peace keeper. Their job is simple, they are mercenaries specializing in taking out large threats to humanity's general safety, be it a bandit gang, a demon horde, or a pack of feral Chimera, one can rely on a Peace Keeper to put down the threat. Peacekeepers come in all shapes and sizes, from wizards to supersoldiers.

Hello, and thank you for checking this out! This Sci-fi Fantasy RP will take place on a strange future Earth, now called Weird Earth, which is filled to the brim with high tech and high adventure, a beautiful, brutal world of sleek refinement and gnarled savagery, where humanity's best hope against the forces of evil and chaos are the skilled Peacekeeper warriors, who will make up the cast of this RP.

The plot of the RP rises when rumors of a new faction rise. The antithesis of peacekeepers, just as diverse in origins and methods, but aligning themselves against humanity at large. To combat that new threat, the normally independent peacekeepers find themselves pushed together for safety while on jobs. The player characters will go from job to job, while run ins with this faction may spice things up from time to time.

Peril System:
Character Injury/Death will be handled by a state of Peril on an individual's character sheet. Peril determines the level of harm the environment can inflict on then at any given time. I'll allow players to adjust this as they wish. Those who use the Peril system may inflict damage at or below the target's peril level.
Level 0- No touchy- Bullet misses
Level 1- Minor injuries- Bullet grazes
Level 2- Detrimental Injuries- Bullet hits limb
Level 3- Major Injuries- Bullet disables limb
Level 4- Life Threatening Injuries- Bullet causes major bleeding
Level 5- Lethal Injuries- YOU BE DEAD
*I'm basically thinking of Peril level as a system to replace "Hey can I harm your character?" While retaining some of the suspense. There is the same amount of acceptance, but the surprise of not knowing where damage is going to come from. Additionally, combative NPCs will use Peril as a sort of Health.

Questions and suggestions are appreciated and encouraged.
