(This is my first thread I hope you like it and please sign up)
The World itself-
The world itself has changed and the people with it. With advance technology and exposure to Mako and Materia over time, some people now posses certain powers. Those people are referred to as ‘Alchemists’. There is no telling what a strong Alchemist could do, which is why ShinRa has created an army for those people with power. This army has been ShinRa’s new claim to fame for over thirty years.
The people of the east have changed very little though. Central has stayed the same: Roy Mustang has become leader of the State alchemists now and Riza as second in command. ShinRa Alchemists and State Alchemists are very tightly intwined, as in we work very closely together. Resembol is still the same quiet town and Ishbal seems to be calm for the time being.
State Alchemists and Central-
It has been 5 years since the Death of the homunculus and the lose of one of the greatest alchemist of our time, Edward Elric. Central has now completely calmed down and is back to normal, under the commands of General Mustang who has taken over after Fuher Bradly's death. The title Fuher is now held by Roy Mustang. Lt. Colonel Alphonse Elric has been growing through the ranks very quickly and as for Ms. Hawkeye, soon to be Mrs. Mustang, works right next to her fiance General Mustang.
All in ishbal has calmed down since the end of Scar and it is back to its normal peaceful state. The military has been completely extracted from there and the hope that it is the end of the Philosophers stone.
Central is still the head quarters for the State Alchemist, who are closely tied to ShinRa now, and all seems to be calm within them. As for Resombol it seems that Winry has joined the ShinRa Alchemist, becoming there mechanic, and it seems she has become quite the alchemist herself.
Since the Death of Edward there have been over thirty sitings of his so called 'spirit' but as of now no proof has been given to actually investigate it. Central believes it is simply just a coincidence.
There has been no talk of a new philosopher's stone, but it appears there are many plots to make a new one but no reason to worry about it. The last philosopher's stone is long since forgotten but it is believed it may still be out there somewhere.
A lot of ShinRa alchemists who were transferred from the State Alchemist now have the choice to own as house in central, four room apartment with a bathroom, bedroom, kitchen and living room. It's a very simple house but many operatives who live alone choose to live here
ShinRa and the City of Edge-
It has been sixty years since the events of Sephiroth’s second coming (Advent Children), fifty-eight years since Deep Ground was defeated (Dirge of Cerberus) and thirty years since the development of the ShinRa Alchemists Force. ShinRa Inc. once again runs the world with their power supplies and army. This ShinRa company however was taught the errors of the past and now only try to help the world and it’s people from threats.
Rufus' son, Alexander, now runs as president, and his son, Ramza, as vice president. Eaton is head of Space Exploration, Violet, Scarlet's daughter, head of Weapons Development, Augustus is head of Public Saftey Maintenace, Algus is head of Science, and Symphony is head of Urban Development. The new leader of the Turks is Axel, while there is Emily, Savage, and Steel working for him. The main location for the heads of ShinRa, is now in Junon
There are five sectors, not including sector 0, the location of the ShinRa Alchemists Head Quarters. Sector one and two are the lower slum like sectors, while three and four are middle class sectors. There is only one sector for the upper class society in Edge (when unlike in Midgar they had a whole upper plate), and that is sector five.
Unlike it’s predecessor, Edge is a very clean city. Most of the civilians are healthy and are kept in well-built houses. Fortunately, it also has no squalls hanging over it and a blue sky is easy to see, as well as a star lit night.
All ShinRa Alchemists are given a single bed bedroom in the barrack building of the HQ. It is furnished with a bed, table, computer, dresser, and closet. You are not required to sleep in the rooms, but they are there if you wish to sleep or have a place to sleep. You may also sleep at an inn if you please to do so. Any and all of the high ranking officers are given the opportunity to have a house in any sector they please. It is to no offense of people who are not, I just feel the people who have been with us for a while and fight hard deserve something special
The Rest of the World-
Most of the world still appears the same as before the crisis in Edge. There are new towns and new roads, but overall the world is the same as before. Junon, although now being the main location for ShinRa employees and SOLDIER units, remains the same and stands proudly as the most populated and prosperous city on the planet.
As for the heroes of AVALANCHE, most live quietly to themselves and prefer not to be bothered, however some have indeed returned to the planet. Marlene and Denzel, a happy couple, now run Tifa’s ‘7th heaven bar and orphanage’, a nice place to get a drink or adopt a kid in Sector Three of Edge.
{Materia and Limit Breaks}
Materia-
Because of Alchemy powers I have decided to ban use of Materia. There will be no need for it, since your power will be some what of your materia. Summons also are not allowed, unless you are the Summon Alchemist. It's not that I don't care for summons, I just don't want people relying on the power of a giant dragon shooting a beam down from space.
{Limit Breaks}
Limit Breaks will be allowed and be a big part of our fighting style. Everyone joining should know what a Limit Break is, but if not, it's a powerful attack that at least doubles original attack damage. Limit Breaks should be included in your profiles in the discussion and profile thread. If you have any questions about your Limit Break or need help please ask one of the leader's and we'll be happy to help.
