The Universe of New Blood is very unique, in that it takes place in a futuristic version of the past.
In the year 1985, the internet very much resembles the one that exists in this world, though more restricted by the government. There is research, websurfing, video sharing sites and all one normally expects, but all very much under the watchful eye of the state. There is only one social media site, Foundry, and all information posted on it is cataloged. Despite this, most everyone still uses it happily to stay in touch with their friends and the world.
There are rules and regulations that keep people from using their chymos in the city, and those who disobey them are punished severely. The military and police are entirely made of chymos users of the regulator level and up and entire academies are created in the creation of more people to fill these roles. They are allowed more freedom to use their powers in apprehending criminals or battling the enemy, but still have many rules to follow and are generally held to a higher standard. Society has been generally built upon the gifts of the gods, and so it's buildings have been made to much higher standards, able to withstand some of the risks that come with chymos users.
Those who use their powers tend to wear exosuits in battle, which are also made to take heavy damage, and depending on its specifications, are resistant to certain attacks, up to a point. However, guns do not exist in this universe as there has never been a need. As a result, different countries have risen to prominence as the stagnation in technology was never steep enough for certain peoples to completely steamroll over others with simply their advanced weaponry.
Self-driving cars are the norm in certain places, and hovercars/hoverbikes are newly arrived to the public. High speed rails make travel between distant cities a simple commute. An airplane is able to cross halfway around the world in less than 7 hours without stop.
Greece, Rome, and the Byzantine Empire have always been the 'leaders' of the world, so to speak. The best of culture and technology have come from it or it's former colonies.
This roleplay's main location is Atlas City, the Capital of Grand Sparta-- a territory in North America that takes up the west half of the real world united states, as well as the southern part of Canada, all of Latin America, and the Caribean Islands. Atlas City is located near the Pacific Coast. It's neighbours are Nova Roma to the south and the Kingdom of Vinland to the north and east. While Nova Roma is an incredibly structured society, just like the actual Roman Empire, the Kingdom of Vinland is more of a federation of smaller provinces that are allied together due to the threat of Sparta to it's south and west.
