The Great Divide
The Great Divide: Character profiles
The Great Divide: Main thread
Welcome to The ‘Great Divide.’
This group rp is still being fleshed out, so pardon the mess.
More will be be added as more interest is garnered to areas pertaining to world building.
Basically this is an interest check and/or character creation page.
Plot
The plot would revolve around a small crew of male soldiers from the planet Adamros who are on a quest to gather intel on the female enemy thread and to make an assessment on their numbers and offensive capabilities. During their deployment something malfunctions, causing the ship to crash down on the planet. Now what will happen to this small band of soldiers. Will their technology and wits prove to be their salvation? Or will the impressive strength of the females and their numbers seal their fate. Perhaps the savage and feral creatures on this world go out of control, forcing both man and women to fight alongside once more.
Lore
World War 3- The event which spurred humankind's movement into space exploration or Great Migration , the survivors of world war 3 became the earliest space-aged settlers, their postcessors would go on to colonize planets Adamros and Everlias respectively.
The Great Divide- An event which marked the socially recognized divorce of men and women as a species. As a result of the Great Devide, men and women no longer lie together or co-habitate. It is believed the Great Devide was caused by or at least influenced by the following; The Great Space Migration, Disagreements over authority and vision(men wanted to colonize Adamros as a suitable home planet and wanted to suistain the old ways, whereas women were partial to Everlias VI and take on a more basic lifestyle, closer to nature.) women outnumbering men as much 2-to-1, world war 3 which claimed humankinds ancestral planet Earth and last but not least pervading gender biases.
Everlias VI:The planet that womankind settled following the great divide , though abundant in lush fauna and natural resources , it is a harsh unforgiving pre-historic world full of untapped mystical energies and hostile threats. Nicknamed as Eve. Ideal fantasy setting.
Adamros :The planet that mankind settled following the great divide, abundant in rare precious metals and abandoned alien technology though lacking in natural resources and mana. Mostly barren wastelands. The ideal science fiction world. Nicknamed as Adam.
Race
Human beings no longer divide themselves by things like nationality and ethnic appearance , instead they choose to divide based on sex. Since the 21st century, there has been some noticeable racial differences between the genders. It is believe their interactions with their respective environments has caused these differences.
Women
On average women are now
+Stronger and faster.
+Natural warriors.
+Capable of utilizing what some would call ‘magic’.
+Larger population.
+Longer natural lifespan.
-More aggressive than their 21 century counterparts
-Technology wise in the dark ages.
Reproductive: When the females broke apart from the males they realized the need for offspring. Hundreds of hours were spend on their new planet, tinkering with magic and the arcane arts. Finally they found a way to combine two of their kind and to create new life within one. In time their numbers started to swell, the use of magic nearly endless.
Men
On average men are now
+More Creative & Adaptive.
+Better Communicators.
+Advance technology.
+Better Co-ordinated.
+Capable of utilizing 70% of brain's processing potential. Unlocking latent telekinetic power.
- Less physically aggressive personality wise.
- Lacking day to day struggle.
Reproductive: Due to the lack of females in their midst the men turned towards scientific means. As their numbers began to dwindle and the fear of extinction became near truth, a breakthrough was made. A scientist created a machine that would be later hailed as ‘the birthing chamber’. With this device mankind finally had the means to sustain its numbers, although at a lower count than before.
