☼1885, West Virginia☼
With the recent discovery of AU alloys, humans have been enabled the power of shooting elemental energy, branded by the name EleShots. Their popularity skyrocketed as they were sold to enforcement agencies. Law enforcement doubled in effectiveness, and for a few years America was the safest country in the world.
However, a shipment of EleShots was sabotaged by the Horkland Pirates, and they were sold around the nation. Criminals, petty and professional alike, got their hands on them and quickly reshaped the dangers of America. They destroyed properties and robbed banks like never before, causing America's economy to drop rapidly.
America refused to send in their troops, as it might risk war and panic the fellow civilians. Instead, the government, and aristocrats that are against EleShots, hire mercenaries, brigands, hunters, assassins, and even a few petty criminals to put an end to the EleShots.
Urban chaos rained the towns of America as criminals, or more popularly known as the Underground, gained strength in both numbers and supply. In a few short years, a quarter of America was owned by the Underground.
The Hunters didn't make an impact until just recently, when the Underground attempted to raid the city of Durant. They blended in as mere criminals, but before the Underground opened fire, they stabbed their comrades in the back. The battle sent a spark towards the Underground, and they were outraged and scared. Many criminals ran away from their past lives, though most stayed to face the new threat.
☼GROUPS☼
HUNTERS- Those who seek the end of EleShots, or were paid to confiscate them. Most are independent mercs who take for the highest bidder. However; companies have emerged who work for the U.S government. Coined, "Black Water," they are without contract, and not bound to any regulations. Most are careful with there impace, however they are dispised for the slight few that abuse the power given to them.
The Regulators- An elite group of hunters,, the Regulators, are men who are licensed to kill. These bounty hunters roam the Wild West in search of EleShots. Ironically, the thing they confiscate is the same thing they use as weapons. Only a few handful are chosen to wear to badge of the Confiscator.
Lead Head Lurkers- A group of elitists named Lead Head Lurkers have made it their goal to bring the traditional bullets back to the weapon industry. When their plea was denied, they resulted into more violent actions, attacking EleShot users and sabotaging factories. When heard about by the government, they were paid to destroy the use of EleShots, though they took the terms more physically.
Badtown Brigands- A group of robbers and thieves. They are the type of people you don't want to meet eye contact with. The government denounced their existence, sending soldiers to, "Black Zones," where rumored Badtown Brigand encampments are located. Despite their bad reputation, anti-Eleshots pay good money for them to capture a supply of EleShots because of their fearlessness to kill.
Black Blood- A particularly large group of pioneers who named themselves Black Blood. It is believed that they alone discovered how to use elemental powers without a weapon by injecting or inhaling the EleShots into themselves. As a side effect, their blood turns into a sickly black that impacts their body in treacherous ways.
The Syndicate- Among the warring Regulators and petty criminals, a group of self-proclaimed 'masters' in the art of weaponry seek to put their hands around the world's AU supply, in hopes of controlling the world, named the The Syndicate. They are the main distributors of EleShots in the Underground, manipulating each and every criminal by bribing them with their exports.
Freelesters: A disjointed organization of anarchist and extremist that wish to "Annex the people into freedom" Using terrorism and fear, they are by the military, "Scourges of the wasteland," though some people think they are heros.
Their technology is low, preferring the tactics and weaponry of the Indians who were killed when the U.S annexed these states.
Horkland Pirates- The menaces that roam the sea. They are the Underground's main source of EleShots that are so well hidden, only one person, Louie Campbell of the Syndicate, knows of their location and existence. Thus, the Pirates are limited to trade with the Syndicate.
☼CITIES☼
Durant: The milestone city in which the Hunters first reacted to the criminals' raids. It has become the base of operation of the Hunters, though criminal activity has not gone down as the Hunters enjoy bullying the citizens.
Shilo: The only place considered a safe-haven from both Hunters and criminals. Here, the EleShots are sent back to the government's hands. The place is filled to the brim with EleShot supplies, meaning if the criminals were to get into it they would be able to do as they wish.
Seville: The underground city that houses a swarm of nasty criminals. Despite its dirty appearance, the city holds the Syndicate Plantation, where the Syndicate are able to perform their duty in secret and still live in luxury.
Province: A very populated city known for its parties and main hideout of the Lead Head Lurkers. The city despises EleShots and those who are found using it will be tarred and feathered.
☼TOWNS☼
Badtown: The small, hidden town in the forest that houses the Badtown Brigands.
Moboville: The main trading port and a relatively peaceful dock town. It is also a prime target of both the Hunters and the criminals.
Rafta: The barren, worn town with broken, rotten buildings. It hides the infamous Black Blood.
Juko's Atoll: The hidden pirate base that is heavily armed with military-grade weapons to keep away curious sailors. The atoll is the perfect place as trade ships frequently crash due to its confusing, sharp coral reefs.
☼ELESHOTS☼
EleShots are powders sold in bottles. Each bottle holds exactly 20 shots. Despite their popularity, the bullet exceeds immensely in sheer stopping power and raw damage. The powder is poured into an Elevolver, the gun specific for EleShots, inside a hole where the hammer should be. Some, however, like the Black Blood, have discovered that their bodies are able to react with the powder if you inject them in you. In turn for mutation of the body and mental instability, your body is able to control the element of whatever powder they injected themselves with.
The most popular of EleShots are sold by brands and produced in masses.
Fire: The bottle itself is shaped like a molotov, and the powder is red smells of smoke. It fires bullet-size fireballs that sets the target ablaze. It has the second-highest damage of the EleShots. They are the most common of the EleShots
Ice: The bottle itself is shaped like a fat icicle, and the powder is pure white. It fires bullet-sized ice pellets that slows the opponent down. It has a chance to freeze the opponent completely. It has the second-lowest damage of the EleShots
Air: The bottle itself is shaped like an inflated leather bag, and the powder is cobalt blue. It fires a powerful gust of wind that can knock the opponent back thirty feet or reflect oncoming projectiles, though that itself requires an immense amount of accuracy. It has the lowest damage of the EleShots, almost none, but it makes up with an automatic fire rate.
Lightning: The bottle itself is shaped like a dark cloud that glows purple. The powder is purple. It fires a ball of lightning that can shock the enemy. It has the highest damage of the enemy and is usually held by officers and those of the highest ranks.
There are also others who wish to customize their own EleShot. Those who are creative are able to wield their own element, but must submit a bottle design, powder color, and their own effects. If the company decides that your EleShot is overpowered, then your request will not be accepted.
