Storyline

The year is 2023 and everyone’s personal information and DNA is known by the government and uses it freely as they wish. No one can hide from the Grid. The crime rates have dropped to nearly 0% but is it worth the price of personal privacy? In the future, people have found a way to travel back in time to try to destroy the Grid, these people are called Grid Runners. Grid Runners know vital information that the people of our current time do not. The information they have may be detrimental to the Grid’s wishes or it’s plans for a supposed utopian future.. The Immigration Special Investigation Unit or (ISIU) has full authority to capture any Grid Runner that has been detected by the Grid as an anomaly. You never know who will show up at this time… maybe even you!

Faction Backstory

Grid Runners(Pluralities)

Grid Runners are the embodiment of a revolution built on the backs of the people. Grid Runners are sent back in time to stop the growth of the Grid and hinder the capabilities of the ISIU in capturing their fellow Grid Runners. When Grid Runners travel back in time, they have added knowledge of that time period they are going back into. With the added knowledge, they can know when big events happen or where specific people will be at a given time. They can use this information to get a jump on the ISIU Detectives. As a Grid Runner you are tasked with alluding the Detectives, sabotaging the Grid, and gathering information.

Faction Backstory Cont.

Immigration Special Investigation Unit (ISIU) Detectives

ISIU is a special branch of immigration tasked with finding Grid Runners and detaining them. Their job is important to the Grid and they must go to incredible lengths to hide the origins of their prey. They are given the most modern weapons and technology that the government can attain for the sole purpose of defending the Grid and their modern way of life. If the origin of the Grid Runners is leaked to the public chaos can, and will, be the herald of destruction for modern society. For the safety of the Grid and the public, the ISIU must keep all their actions confidential and away from the eyes of the people.

Grid RunnersGrid Runners, are selected at random at the start of each game or each

game day. When a Runner is caught they will be removed from a game for a set amount of time depending on their level.

DetectivesDetectives are given a specific target to hunt once per day to receive an

experience boost or special loot item. Detectives are also capable of catching other Grid Runners which will give them a set amount of experience

depending on their difference in level.

Combat begins when a Runner and a Detective are within a 50 meter range of each other. If the Detective is able to get in range of the Runner without

the Runner’s knowledge then the Detective is able to attack. However, if the Runner spots the Detective first they have the chance to activate any equipment they may have to escape.
